Chapter 885: Never have mercy, never forgive one

This pressure finally dissipated after the war ended! But even so, at the Washington Naval Armament Conference after the war, all British representatives refused to shake hands with Admiral Hipper. And Hipper’s reaction was dull: “I don’t bother to communicate with the losers who slaughter women and children.”

Compared with the deep hatred of the British, the German government and historians greatly appreciated Hipper’s behavior. First of all, German historians believed that under the conditions of international law at the time, even belligerent countries could not detain neutral countries for non-military use to hostile countries. Materials, not to mention compulsory redemption of goods from ships of neutral countries. The actions of the British have seriously trampled on the international codes of conduct at the time, and for those who undermine the "rules of the game", the Germans will naturally fight back.

Secondly, the Germans believed that the actions of the British had extended the scope of the attack to ordinary Germans, who had no direct relationship with the war, and the British blockade put them under the threat of hunger and disease. The act itself is a crime! The German understanding is that before any soldier actually puts on his uniform and walks on the battlefield, his right to survival should not be threatened by war. The British have already directed the contradiction to the civilians. For these civilian killers, the Germans will naturally not be merciless!

With the exception of Britain and Germany, which were in hostile camps in this war, historians from some neutral countries commented on this North Sea death prophecy: "The two sides who participated in the war to win victory gradually lost the most for the benefit of victory. Basic ethics and guidelines, the British behavior seems to be soft, but it is a butcher knife that kills no blood. When the opponent raises the butcher knife, the Germans naturally have to look at it in different colors. Therefore, at the very beginning of the war , The British chose blockade, the Germans chose submarine warfare, and then the two sides continued to escalate in the blockade and anti-blockade battles until finally discarding mercy and forgiveness."

And when Hipper issued this order to the fleet, although the fleet that performed the blockade breaking mission was no longer Hipper’s battlecruisers, they were all silently carrying out this order, not just because they were The British hated the blockade and, more importantly, did not allow too much sympathy under war conditions! The British camouflage submarine hunting boat has completely broken "the most basic trust between people". So, for the sake of your own life assistance, let's do it safely!

"Okay, remember my order and start the mission! I hope that before we leave today, there is no longer a living British in this sea!" Hipper ignored his dumbfounded subordinates and said calmly .

5 battlecruisers with a large number of light cruisers and destroyers scattered in places that the British never expected! They looked for the British warships like giant beasts hidden in the deep sea. At this time, these guys who were already handy at bullying civilian ships had no idea what kind of terrifying existence they encountered this time!

"We seem to have found a big guy!" The 10,000-ton auxiliary cruiser Alsatian said, pointing his finger at the fuzzy outline on the distant sea.

"Right? It's that ship, can you tell from its shape?" A British sailor under the mast immediately became interested.

"It seems to be a flying fish, yes, it is a flying fish! The guy who escaped from under our hands last time is the longest ship I have ever seen, and I will never remember it wrong." This man used to be a sailor on a cruise ship. The lookout hand who is now a volunteer said excitedly.

The high-speed merchant ship that has repeatedly escaped from its own hands is not called Feiyu. It is just a nickname from the sailor of the Alsatian. It’s too hard to remember the name of the ship. Therefore, for some impressive guys Will have a nickname. And this time, the Alsatian finally found this "old rival". After informing the captain that the entire warship sounded an alarm to prepare for battle, the Alsatian began to approach the target.

"Send a telegram to the armored cruiser Minotaur. This time we need his help. We can only keep track. The real hunting depends on them." Captain Koss said. The Flying Fish is a large cruise ship with the Swedish flag. It used to be a German fast cruise ship Prince William. After the war, it was "transferred" to Norway, wearing the coat of a neutral country to provide Germany with various supplies. It all sailed between the United States and Norway, relying on high speed to avoid repeated pursuits.

Under full load, the maximum speed of this cruise ship is about 21 knots, and the Alsatian was modified from a ten thousand ton-class dome cruiser, with some artillery removed, but more personnel and defenses were added. Mine equipment (such as wood in watertight cabins, empty barrels). Then, it was a good idea to overload the warship that served in 1895... Therefore, coupled with the sad equipment aging problem, the original speed of 22 knots simply ran out, and at most it could only run about 18 knots!

"From the sailing point of view~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this guy intends to repeat the same trick and enter Norwegian territorial waters. Fortunately, we can now lie on its way to Norway and wait for the arrival of Minotaur. Well, that's it! Head to 1 o'clock and go ahead at full speed." Major Cowes ordered.

The armored cruiser Minotaur is Britain's last armored cruiser. It was originally intended to suppress the existence of other cruisers, but when the battlecruisers of Britain and Germany were launched, this class of battleships became very tasteless, with no output, no speed, no defense and no defense. . It was originally intended to be used for offshore escort, but after the Suxiong fleet entered the Indian Ocean, it couldn’t go there anymore, so it could only be pulled back to the mainland and act with the large fleet. If necessary, you can use 10-inch guns and 7.5-inch guns to deal with it. Let's take a light cruiser.

Now, because of the threat of camouflage assault ships to auxiliary cruisers, these last-generation patrols are used in the North Sea blockade due to their huge endurance and strong combat effectiveness, and are specifically used to hunt down cruise ships with higher speeds and exposed ships. German assault ship in camouflage. And just a week ago, Minotaur had just killed a camouflaged assault ship named Leopard, which was originally intended to sneak out of the North Sea!

Since the Fourth Armored Cruiser Squadron participated in the North Sea blockade, the overall situation has improved a lot. Compared with camouflage assault ships, the armored cruisers with absolute firepower and speed advantages are excellent bodyguards for auxiliary cruisers, and the mission pressure has been reduced a lot.
