Chapter 903: The Rivalry of the British Admiralty 1

Betty's fleet was attacked and the battlecruiser Queen Mary sank! The Grand Princess sank in battle! General Betty's flagship Lion sank in battle! Betty's fleet has been destroyed!

Lieutenant General Jerram and Major General Hood reunited! We have eight battleships! We sneaked up and launched a surprise attack! The Saxony is on fire! The Germans began to adjust their formation! We are shooting at each other with the Germans! The Erinn and the Aes were sunk! The German fleet is killing everyone! The Indomitable was sunk! The Germans went beyond godlike killing!

The team battle ended, Betty, Jerram, and Hood fought gg...

The entire war process is simply like this. Starting from the first telegram after the two sides opened fire, the First Lord of the Admiralty and the First Sea Lord did not receive a positive and positive battle report! From the lines of the telegram, both Churchill and Fisher could feel that in this battle, the British fleet was being beaten, being beaten... This has not happened for hundreds of years. When did the British Empire fleet get defeated in a large-scale naval battle? It didn’t happen during the Crimean War, nor did it happen during the Napoleonic era. I’m afraid it goes back to the Anglo-Dutch War, right?

The last time a large-scale fleet of the British Royal Navy was defeated was probably the Battle of Texel on August 21, 1673, right? This happened more than 200 years ago, right? And that time was at best a failure, not a beating. It was still fundamentally different from this defeat. This time, those who were massacred had no chance to fight back. In a trance, Fisher seemed to see the Royal Navy ancestors who were already in heaven saying to him: "Boy, I am disappointed with your performance!"

"What is going on?! The Royal Navy's most elite warships were harvested like straw by the opponent!" After receiving the news that the British fleet was defeated and retreating, Fisher, in anger, slammed the telegram in his hand on the table. on his face, his face full of anger, helplessness and a hint of fear?

"A bunch of cowards! Betty, Jerram, Hood! They betrayed the trust of the British Empire! They tarnished the glory of the Royal Navy! They all should face trial!" Fisher did not hide his anger and spoke in high-spirited words rang in the Admiralty offices.

"Immediately arrange people to block all news. We can't just let the media and the country know the news of the Royal Navy's defeat! Also, contact Admiral Jericho immediately. We need all parties involved in this battle to be present..." A meeting, well, just a meeting." While Fisher was venting his anger, Churchill on the side knew what he should do... He now needs to wipe the British fleet's ass!

"Did you even hide it from the Prime Minister?" asked the officer on the side.

"We can reveal some rumors. The result of the loss is yet to be determined. Well, that's it. It's better not to tell those in the parliament for the time being." Churchill said calmly. This was not the first time he had done such a thing to conceal a failure. Last time Su Xiong directly killed two divisions of the Australian and New Zealand troops.

Churchill had already concealed it once. This time, I obviously have experience!

What's more, the navy is not the only one who conceals losses from the parliament and the people and exaggerates the Warring States period, the army is also doing this! As a politician, if you can't even hide something, then what kind of politician are you? Besides, confirming the results of a war is a very troublesome matter, and mistakes are inevitable. Can it be called concealment? This is normal, okay?

"No matter how big the problem is on the battlefield, we must at least ensure that there is no big fluctuation in our rear. Sometimes, rumors are more terrifying than failure on the battlefield." After the war, when the media interview was called " "Expert in lying" Churchill, this is how the latter defended himself. Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.

"Sir Fisher, don't you think that what we need to do most right now is to communicate with the naval generals first, understand the reasons for the failure of the battle, and then make corrections? Simple anger and condemnation will have no effect." After Fisher was done venting, Churchill stepped forward to comfort him.

In the UK, the status of the First Lord of the Admiralty is higher than that of the First Sea Lord, and when Churchill made this suggestion, Fisher could not refuse. And as he said, the British Navy needs to follow this meeting to re-evaluate its opponents across the North Sea and formulate a new strategy!

"Not only the fleet commander, but also the head of the intelligence department are coming. The failure of this battle is not a problem of the fleet itself, but a problem of the entire Royal Navy. The intelligence department, fleet, and command and decision-making organs are all involved. We It can be said responsibly that the problems within the Navy are bigger than the external enemies!" Fisher's words had a clear meaning of "the enemy is in the Navy Department"...

At this time, on the special train heading to London, Jericho and his fleet commanders were also preparing for the upcoming meeting. In addition to sorting out relevant information, fleet commanders also began to explore the reasons for this failure. According to the nature of human beings to blame others, all generals participating in the war had a common idea. The intelligence of the Navy Department was simply too bad. They didn’t know who the fleet commander was. Forget it. After all, Prince Ruprecht did not seem to be in the navy. It's not very conspicuous, but even the size and formation of the fleet participating in the battle are wrong. This is perfect. Half of the battle has not even begun! And another feeling is that I can't beat him, I can't beat him in any way! Definitely can't beat it!

"Do you feel that our artillery shells hitting the German warships are like stones hitting a wall, while the opponent's armor-piercing bullets are like hot knives cutting butter against us?" Betty finally said something that everyone agreed with. This battle To sum up, the biggest shock to the British was that a warship of more than 20,000 tons went up for a PK and exploded in various ways within ten minutes. Even Major General Moore said that the biggest reason for his survival was Because of two points, the first is naturally the blessing of the almighty God. The second is that the gunnery level of the opponent's battleship is somewhat different from that of the battleship he has captured...

"Our lions and tigers have no role other than being fast, and Sir Fisher plays a big role in it." Betty continued. After this sentence was uttered, although no one catered to it, that was because Fisher had a high position and authority, but in fact, what he said was indeed correct. Although the speed was fast, the combat effectiveness was still poor.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, please go to the venue and speak carefully." Jericho interrupted. "Everyone, let's take a rest first."
