Chapter 882: Ad hoc meeting one

"According to General Moore’s telegram, they didn’t have a long time to fight their opponents, which was about 20 minutes. During this time, the New Zealand and Australia almost ran out of smoke cans and the destroyers also threw away. All the torpedoes." Jericho vaguely explained why the Moore fleet was spared.

"Destroyer, destroyer fleet! Hold the grass, where's Betty's destroyer?!" At this time, Major General Duff remembered that there were more than 2 dozen destroyers and 1 dozen light cruisers going out with Betty! And now, apart from these embarrassing battleships, the rest of the kittens together do not reach double figures! "Maybe they returned to the port first?" Duff found a very bad reason.

"There is a destroyer brigade that seems to have fallen in battle. This is an out-and-out disaster, gentlemen! Get up! Let us meet new challenges! The glory of the Royal Navy cannot be lost on us, Nelson, Drake and other ancestors are looking at us in heaven! It’s not that we haven’t experienced failure. The only difference between us and our opponents is that we can stand up again if we lose, but if the opponent loses, it’s all over!" Admiral Jericho, who gave people a peaceful and strong feeling, said loudly.

"Now move! Help those of us who have just experienced this war to return home smoothly! Let's go to Roses Base! And let all the major generals and above officers who participated in this battle come to my flagship immediately, I Some things need to be dealt with," Jericho said.

Half an hour later, the four chief officers of the fleet, Betty, Jeram, Hood, and Moore, took a transport boat to General Jericho’s flagship Iron Duke. Looking at these pale, murderous generals, the adjutant in charge of the hospitality immediately ran away after serving everyone a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. These guys who were originally carnivores experienced a After the battle, it is even more terrifying and disturbing, just like a sword has been sharpened!

"Let’s have a cup of coffee first. This is something I specially prepared for myself. It has a very special name called Death Wish. The caffeine content is twice that of ordinary coffee. As long as a small cup, you will suffer from insomnia for several nights. , I don’t think you guys want to sleep well these days. We have a lot of work to deal with. So, let’s drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself.” After speaking, Jericho glanced at several people present. , Drank the coffee in his hand.

Jericho’s eyes swept over everyone present, Betty’s anger and unwillingness, Jeram’s solemnity and worry, Moore’s helplessness and loneliness, and Hood’s perseverance all fell into Jericho’s eyes. Well, very good, although we lost, our spirit has not collapsed!" Jericho gave everyone a thumbs up in his heart, just a mental performance, and in the end, tactics and battle errors, What to do, what to do....

"I have a document in my hand that describes the course of the battle. I hope everyone here can see if there is anything missing." Jericho said.

Fifteen minutes later, when Betty closed the file in his hand for the last time, Jericho asked again: "If there are no doubts, then I want to know, General Betty, why before he discovered the German fleet and went to war with The four super-dreadnought battlecruisers Lion, Tiger, Queen Mary, and Grand Princess are going to leave the formation? Answer me!" There was a hint of anger in Jericho's words!

"I began to think that they were the Hipper fleet, so I wanted to drag them. Hipper only had 5 battlecruisers, of which 3 were Super Intrepid. I originally thought that even if my 4 battleships could not defeat their opponents, they would be at least You can hold them, the speed difference between me and General Moore is only 2 to 3 knots, and General Moore will be able to keep up soon." Betty said with a pale face.

"My fleet did catch up with General Betty very quickly, but at that time, we were already crushed. Before the German battle line started, we were not even sure how many capital ships the other side had. This time, Germany There are a lot of human frigates. There are 3 squadrons of light cruisers and at least 3 dozen destroyers! Neither us nor the Harwich fleet can penetrate their outer cordon for close reconnaissance. There is no way. Things." Major General Moore said after looking at the chief officer next to him.

"Yes, it's Tirit! (Commander of the Harwich Fleet) He holds two destroyer battalions, a total of 8 detachments, 32 destroyers! But he failed to figure out the formation of the opponent's fleet. This is intolerable. If he fails, he should go to a military court!" Betty shouted suddenly. (Actually, from a historical point of view, Betty is a really bad personality, and her behaviors of shirking responsibility and throwing the pot are too normal.)

"Brigadier General Tilit has no responsibility ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His fleet is a scattered reconnaissance. He sent out the intelligence of the enemy ships in the first place. The speed of the entire German fleet is around 24 knots, and there are 3 The formation of light cruisers and 40 destroyers followed, and it was impossible for Brigadier General Tirit to pass through the layers of blockade to make it clear about the type and number of the German fleet." Jericho stared at Betty, with a trace of disgust hidden under his eyes.

"General Betty, you can reserve your opinion, but I will never admit in any report that the Harwich fleet has a subjective error." Finally, Jericho added.

"Lieutenant General Jeram and Major General Hood, what do you think? Tell me, Betty's fleet has been dispersed. You and General Hood are fighting each other in a battle that is at least equal in number." After Rico finished speaking, he no longer looked at Betty on the left, but turned his gaze to other people.

"A total of 6 Bavarian-class battleships participated in the battle, but the latter two battleships have relatively low artillery skills. This is probably one of the main reasons why my fleet can be spared. IMHO, if the same number of battleships is fighting If so, it is impossible for any of our warships to last more than an hour in front of the battleship Bavaria!" Major General Hood said with a wry smile. Major General Hood’s guess is only half right. The poor artillery of the Hesse and Mecklenburg is one reason, but the most important reason is that the number of armor-piercing shells on the two battleships is not enough... ...

"Not even the queen?" Jericho said calmly despite some surprises.
