Chapter 871 No Choice 1

Are there any admirals in the Bavarian royal family? I’ve never heard of it, but the Bavarian Naval Design Bureau is quite n. But someone who understands the navy? seem? There really is one!

The Battle of Dadonggou! A German armored cruiser accidentally broke in! And that shocking double kill under extremely adverse circumstances! "Ruprecht! The opposite person is Ruprecht!" Betty exclaimed. It aroused the side glances and surprise of the officers nearby. "The Crown Prince of Bavaria? The heir to the Jacobite throne of the British Empire?" said an officer. And this sentence revealed some secrets of this officer. For example, he was a Jacobite figure. (You can search on Baidu for specific information.) "Isn't he an army commander? His regiment is still on the Eastern Front. Why did he suddenly come to the North Sea?" A somewhat surprised voice came out. As the first battle between pure steam battleships, the Battle of Dadonggou commanded by the prince still left a mark in the history of world naval warfare. How many Shanghai battles are there in the world? Although it cannot be compared with the subsequent wars in terms of scale and influence, it has still inevitably become an example of naval research in various countries. There is no way, the sample data is too small... "First he beat the Russians violently, and then a few months ago he and his legions appeared on the Western Front, and then killed two French armies. Now he comes again with his legions At sea." "Is the German High Seas Fleet also divided into the Prussian Fleet and the Bavarian Fleet?" "Who knows, the Army is divided like this, the Air Force is like this, and maybe the Navy is divided as well." "It is said that all the battleships of the German High Seas Fleet were designed by Bavarians. It is not too much to say that Bavaria contributed half of the High Seas Fleet." Several officers on the side whispered. "This prince may not have graduated from the Naval Academy, but he possesses the most important qualities of a naval officer - a keen mind, quick reactions and excellent strategic awareness. The naval battle process is exciting, but the most important thing is Yes, he knows how to deal with the rest. War and politics are inseparable. Looking at his entire process, it can be called perfect. If one day we encounter such an opponent, I hope you can take it seriously!" At this time! Betty recalled a comment a teacher made about the prince when he was in military school. "I really didn't expect that I would fight against this prince under such circumstances." Betty murmured to herself, "And we seem to have fallen into our opponent's plan. Their fleet strength far exceeds our expectations. , what we are facing is not the Hipper fleet, but a German main fleet that is much more powerful than him. Immediately send a message to Commander Jericho, we need more support! And explain to him the current situation Situation."A few minutes later, after Jericho read the telegram sent by Betty, he also felt a little wilted. "The other party is coming from Bavaria? A whole 6 Bavarias? God, if I were Betty, then I would choose to run away immediately." Jericho said after taking a sip of coffee. "However, now that the battle has begun, it is no longer easy for Betty to leave, not to mention the loss of two super-dreadnoughts. If this war ends like this, the reputation of the Royal Navy will probably fall to the bottom, and the morale of the fleet officers and soldiers will also drop. It will be a heavy blow." Vice Admiral Duff of the Third Battleship Division said. (Lieutenant General Duff and Jericho are both on the Iron Duke.) "However, we really can't catch up now. The opponent is fighting too fast.

And we walked too slowly! "Jericho looked at his old partner and said helplessly.

"Okay, send a telegram to Major General Hood to ask him to speed up, and also remind him to pay attention to some things. Big guys with 15-inch heavy guns. These guns are great weapons for battlecruisers. "Jericho said. At this time, they already knew the location where the two sides were fighting. Even under the best circumstances, if the British fleet went north and he went south, it would take about three hours for the British to enter the battlefield. Time! Three hours? Jericho wants to know what will be left in Betty’s hands by then! “Will I push Hood’s 3rd Battlecruiser Division into a pit of fire? "After issuing the order, Jericho said to Lieutenant General Duff. "Maybe, but your current choice is undoubtedly the best. We cannot ignore death. "Lieutenant General Duff said. If a telegram is not sent to Major General Hood, then when the accountability is held afterwards, a hat of unresponsiveness will definitely be pinned on Jericho's head. And if this telegram is After sending it out, whether Major General Hood could arrive in time or whether he would be beaten into a dog when he arrived had nothing to do with Jericho. My allies were in trouble and I tried my best to rescue them, but I still couldn't beat the opponent. That was It’s force majeure. You can accuse Major General Hood of not playing well, and you can say that the opponent is too strong, but you can’t say that Jericho is not trying his best. This is politics! "Sometimes, you can decisively abandon the irresistible situation. Things are the wisest choice, and even if you know it is right, you can't do it. You know, Duff, I have never felt so powerless as I do now. There are forest-like steel giants behind me, but they are unable to function. "Jericho said, pointing to the majestic fleet in the distance. At this time, the fleet was arranged in five columns and headed south under the cover of hundreds of cruisers and destroyers. The formation and majesty of the fleet were impressive even from a distance. You can feel the tremendous pressure, but it is of no use to the situation. They are too slow! "Betty still wants to make a comeback at this time? He is now like a gambler who is about to lose all his money! Treat everything as a lifeline! As everyone knows, even if his fleet merges with Vice Admiral Jerram's fleet, it will not be able to defeat its opponent! ”After reading several more telegrams, Jericho had a more accurate understanding of the entire situation. Betty also sent telegrams to everyone he could contact, including himself, Jerram, and Hood. , and even Harwich, he asked all fleets to move closer to him and launch an attack at all costs. Judging from the telegram, Betty was not thinking about how to evacuate, but how to fight. Even if there was a wall in front of him, he wanted to use it. Try hitting your own head! If it were Betty herself, Jericho wouldn't care what kind of collision you would get, but now, Betty basically takes the most elite battlecruiser formations and battlecruisers in the British Empire. The opponent's strongest battleship formation is locked in a fight! The entire British Royal Navy may even be in trouble because of his recklessness!Three updates today~~~!
