Chapter 847: The decision of the British Admiralty

When the battle ended on the third day after the battle, the battle report prepared by Kuhl and Thomas was finally sent back by telegram. On the morning of the fourth day, a copy of the telegram was sent to the First Sea Secretary Fisher and On the desk of the Secretary of the Navy Churchill. After reading the contents of the document carefully, the two decided to hold a meeting.

"I can smell a strong smell of decay in this telegram." Fisher was as mean as ever. "The words in this article are shirking responsibilities, and there are also implicit complaints about naval warships. They encountered the German fleet but were beaten back by the Germans! Our most advanced warship was actually beaten back! This is simply It's a shame! I think Thomas, or some people on the battleship, have an unshirkable responsibility!"

Sir Fisher had a bad temper. In fact, after the Battle of Dogger Sandbar in history, he not only dumped the pot to Major General Moore, but also blamed Tiger’s Captain Perry and the Gunners. Wait for someone to be a coward! Well, the latter still makes sense, because the accuracy of Tiger is indeed worse. And now, for the battle report sent by Thomas, the Jazz himself has a distrust, which is largely due to his confidence in the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship!

"There is still very little intelligence, and we still need to wait. I think that as the commander of the large fleet, Commander Jericho should have also seen this telegram. I hope he can analyze the naval battle from the perspective of naval technology. "Churchill is more pertinent. Churchill did not come from the front line of the fleet or serve in the fleet like Sir Fisher and Jericho. He doesn't know much about naval technology, so he wants to hear more people's opinions.

"Well, we can discuss it later, waiting for more information and Jericho's arrival." It is naturally impossible for Sir Fisher to exclude Jericho.

In the afternoon, Jericho had already arrived in London, and in the meeting room of the Admiralty, the assessment of the naval battle officially began. In the opening, Sir Fisher spent nearly fifteen minutes accusing Thomas and others of negligence and negligence, and at the same time emphasized that this telegram is indeed a false statement!

"First of all, I need to emphasize that, judging from the current situation, the battleship Queen Elizabeth and the battleship Barlem have indeed been hit hard, a very heavy blow! Just now, according to the news sent from the port, Queen Elizabeth The ship has been pumped out of nearly 2500 tons of sea water, but the drainage work is still not over. Whether it is Barlem or the Queen, their turrets and main armor belt have a record of being penetrated." Jericho talked freely.

"Then what do you want to say? They should have failed?!" Sir Fisher said angrily.

"At least, judging from the current information from the port and fleet, the German fleet is very powerful! Their artillery is powerful and well-trained. This is an objective fact. We can improve our tactical level through training, but we cannot reduce it. The opponent's hit and the power of the artillery." Jericho said mercilessly.

"In addition, two German warships were also seriously injured. This is said to be proved by photos and testimonies of combatants, and Thomas assured that these two German warships will not cause us any more trouble in a short time. I think that from In effect, General Thomas still achieved certain results, and the reason why this problem was not completely resolved may be simply because of a lack of luck."

"Haha, lack some luck?! I think the Admiralty should set up an independent investigation agency to thoroughly investigate this matter!" Sir Fisher said.

"Whatever. There is nothing wrong with General Thomas's plan. If you are willing to investigate, please investigate. I don't care about it, but what should I do now? I want to know what the two think about the next battle in the Indian Ocean?" Jericho asked.

It is easy to find a problem, but too difficult to solve it. When it comes to investigating the responsibilities of others, this thing can be done by individuals, and others can find out if they are not responsible.... But if we want to continue to solve the Indian Ocean problem, this is not something we can just talk about. Under the current circumstances, neither Fisher nor Churchill can come up with a practical plan.

Whether it is Fisher or Churchill, they know that if you want to completely solve the Su Xiong fleet, you may not be able to rely solely on Thomas. It is not that you can't beat it, but you can't find it.... If you want to find your opponent as soon as possible, you need to send more warships, and now it is really unrealistic to draw warships from the large fleet...

How to draw the fleet again? Five of Betty's battlecruisers are now playing hide and seek with Hipper. In the last two months, Hipper has come to Britain offshore at least 5 times, and the two sides have met 3 times! Then the Germans told the British what surging motivation is.... The Hipper fleet was able to successfully turn in in front of Betty again and again, and the lion and tiger princess could naturally catch up with the opponent, but the New Zealand and indomitableness of General Moore was left behind one hundred and eight thousand miles away~www. wuxiaspot.com~ Once, Betty's first battlecruiser formation easily bit Hipper, and then the two sides made two gestures, and then Betty felt that the three battle cruisers did not beat the other five... One hole was opened on the front deck of the Lion and two holes were opened on the Tiger. At that time, Hipper wanted to turn around and beat Betty as soon as his head was hot. As a result, after looking at the Harwich fleet and the airship report, he found the British fleet in the northeast. Hipper could only choose to run away...

This was the situation at that time. There was indeed a British fleet in the northeast, but this fleet was a former dreadnought fleet, and Hipper naturally did not dare to bet whether this new fleet was the British super fearless under the conditions of his own actions. Now, my own purpose is actually a strategic feint. At this time, there is nothing wrong with flashing people. Operation Hipper was not followed by a large fleet, because if the large fleet is frequently dispatched, the Jericho fleet will naturally not remain indifferent. Therefore, to make the British feel pressured, and at the same time not to draw out the large fleet, this requires a good grasp.

Betty is not a fool, so she can be reckless when she has a good hand. Then he ended up with a reputation for tough style and bravery, but if the situation is not good, or when he thinks the chance of winning is not great, he also knows the choice. For example, in history, Betty asked Thomas before the Battle of Jutland. The fleet allocated to him, just worrying about what to do if something happens.... And it turns out that Betty really got it right this time, and then he even cheated Thomas--!
