Chapter 2135: The war will continue one
"I lost this battle." At this time, at the headquarters of the Forth Bay Fleet, Thomas met Jericho directly after returning, and reported to him the battle last night and this morning. There was no concealment or modification in the whole process, and Thomas described the whole thing like an onlooker.
"You didn't have any problems with your plan for the battle last night, you just lacked some luck. And the battle this morning has nothing to do with you, you have something that cannot be solved." Jericho said.
"Grass, what does this mean?!" Thomas had already thought about all the situations he might face before he came back, the furious Admiral Jericho? The Admiralty’s dismissal report? The police sent by the military court to arrest him? But the only thing Thomas didn't expect was that Jericho seemed to justify himself? !
"However, after all, I lost the battle, and I am willing to take all responsibilities." Thomas said.
"If the battle is lost, someone must take responsibility. This is true. If you lost the Battle of the Doger Sandbar a year ago, then I can guarantee that the punishment you face will never be more than Betty less! But now? The war will always go on, and the final battle is coming. I don't have a suitable person to replace you now, so you are lucky." Jericho said.
"General Hood can take over my position, or General Moore, he also has experience in commanding fast fleets." Thomas said.
"Major General Hood is very similar to Major General Moore. They are both obedient generals. If I give an order for them to attack, they will execute without hesitation, but they lack flexibility. Betty was once a rising star in the naval world, the youngest. General, but in fact his behavior is too staunch. When we have the advantage, his daring to fight and rush is nothing. But now, when we are in a balanced situation, one careless one will ruin the entire Royal Navy. Fleet, I’m not at ease. And now Betty has his own business, he is commanding four aircraft carriers, and sometimes, this force will be the key to changing the battlefield situation!" Jericho said.
"The key to changing the battlefield situation?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, I have a plan. Although it is a bit despicable, it can help us eliminate a major enemy. This plan requires General Betty's aircraft carrier fleet!" Jericho said.
"You mean, Betty might be the one who will save the entire fleet or even the British Empire?" Thomas felt a little sour.
"The number of aircraft on the 4 aircraft carriers is very small, so we have to hit them and use them. If possible, I hope that these aircraft can be killed in a raid or severely damaged the German flagship. If we can get the commander above it all. Better. We will solve a long-term problem and even determine the fate of several big countries!" Jericho said.
"You mean to deal with the crown prince? Are you sure that he will participate in this decisive battle when the situation has stabilized? The collision of more than two million tons of warships between the two sides can happen in any situation. As the future of Bavaria The king of Austria, the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he has no reason to put himself in danger. In my opinion, this is even a little bit of a big meaning.” Thomas said.
"To be honest, I think for Germany and Austro-Hungary, even the entire high seas fleet is less valuable than the life of the crown prince." Thomas added.
Does the German fleet have to have a battle with the large fleet? Ruprecht had already talked about this question when he was talking with Taft. This is a bonus question, not a must! It is good to be able to win, but even if you win the big fleet, it is absolutely impossible for the German military boots to enter Trafalgar Square, and the Americans will not agree.
But if you can’t win, this is probably what the Americans are most willing to see. The British and Germans’ maritime power fought a defeat, the British Empire lost control of the global oceans, and the Germans were unable to control themselves in a short time. Projected its influence to the world. As for the help to the US Navy? The Americans are not worried about this. Even if the German High Seas Fleet is defeated, the entire army cannot be annihilated. With the scale of more than 20 battleships of the High Seas Fleet, even if the decisive battle has suffered heavy losses, one or two battleship detachments will be deployed to support the United States after the war. Anyone can! This is the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
"Sometimes, we need to figure out the ideas of our opponents. Although this is a tricky method, it can play a very important role at critical moments. Crown Prince Ruprecht is undoubtedly a great king and commander, and even He is said to be a man of noble character, but because of the last point, he will never miss the last battle. He created the German High Seas Fleet. To a certain extent, the High Seas Fleet is his child, his personal Character and ethics make it impossible for him to miss this battle. Even if it is only one-tenth of the possibility ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think it is worthwhile to concentrate our efforts on attacking his flagship!" Jericho said.
"Imagine what will happen if we succeed. First of all, the alliance between Bavaria and Austria will face the risk of shattering. After all, the alliance between the two countries is completely due to his marriage with the Prince Mary! Although Ruprecht has Two boys, but one is destined to inherit Austria and the other to Bavaria. The most important thing is that Bavaria loses a talented king. Prussia and the parliament will probably consider the idea of fighting Bavaria. If this is the case, the Allies will be trapped Chaos, and the decline of the British Empire will be restored, at least we don't have to face such a powerful opponent in the future!" Jericho said here is already very excited, as if this plan has been realized.
“It’s really good if we succeed, but we can’t just rely on methods like assassination to solve the problem, not to mention how to find the opponent’s flagship on the battleline that is several kilometers long and pierce the opponent’s air defense system. Question," Thomas said.
The idea is good, but the implementation is different. German flagships are generally hidden in the middle of the queue. Even though they may fly the command flag or other signs, it is really difficult to find out among more than 20 battleships. , Some people may have asked, since everyone is engaged in battle lines, after determining the position of the opponent's flagship, why can't the firepower of several battleships be directly killed at a long distance? This involves a fire control issue.
