Chapter 872 No Choice 2
"General Betty has no choice. Such a failure is something he cannot bear, nor can the battlecruisers. I think General Betty will be somewhat selfish when dealing with this problem, but the number of fast battleships of the Germans exceeds ours." Imagine, if we can't save some situations in this operation, it will be very difficult for us to fight later." General Duff said carefully.
General Duff’s attitude towards Betty’s evaluation is still very responsible. First of all, Betty is an alternative existence in this already somewhat rigid British Royal Navy system. Maybe he is frivolous, maybe he has a bad temper, or even There may be problems with his character, but it is undeniable that he is the "Fisher" of the fleet! He is a man who can make his troops full of enterprising spirit and courage. His fleet is high-spirited, like a cheetah ready to attack at any time. Of course, this time he was unlucky and met a group of lions... (This paragraph is also a historical fact. Although the author dislikes Betty very much, he is indeed very enterprising and is good at leading a squadron.) But at the same time, his pride or It is said that his character also affects his performance. A strong man cuts off his wrist. This is a very tragic and sometimes difficult thing to understand, but it is also very effective. Duff believes that when the situation is not right, Jericho can do it. Come out, Your Majesty the General is not afraid of taking responsibility. Even if this result may cause him to lose this position. He could even get into trouble with the Fleet and the Admiralty. Admiral Jericho's approach can be said to be conservative, but at the same time at least it is safe. But Betty? Then we can only hehe, he will not give up easily, and he will not take the initiative to take responsibility! "There is also a telegram, which says that the commander of the German fleet this time is an opponent we have never seen before, the Crown Prince of Bavaria, Prince Ruprecht. How much do you know?" Regarding the current Jericho No matter how anxious he is, there is nothing he can do. Instead of simply being anxious, it is better to discuss some meaningful topics with his colleagues. "Opinion? I don’t know much about the top nobles in Europe, but from a purely military perspective, this prince seems to have never made a mistake and is good at planning. From a purely naval perspective, I I have always believed that the Japanese Navy's ability to obtain four Asama-class armored cruisers was the result of someone working behind the scenes, and the Germans did have a reason to do so." "And if we put it on today's battlefield, I I think that all of us have been calculated. The previous five times it was Hipper's battlecruisers. Why did it suddenly become Bavaria this time? All 6 Bavarias came out! I don't believe this is a coincidence at all. !" Lieutenant General Duff said. "That's right. The Germans spent several months planning the layout. No, not a few months. The North Sea can't accommodate such a huge chess game. Think about it, if Su Xiong hadn't brought two ships The fast battleship successfully broke through our blockade and entered the Indian Ocean. There is no need for us to send 4 Queen-class battleships across the ocean. As long as there are 4 Queen-class battleships, we can at least guarantee an undefeated ending! Even if we face this time That's right, 6 Bavaria-class battleships." "But now, the British fleet, which was originally clenched into a fist, is forced to disperse. The most reliable queens have gone to the Indian Ocean and will not be able to come back for a while. However, the Germans Hipper's battlecruisers were replaced with the Bavarians. We have already lost this war before the battle. How can a rabbit win against a tiger? And guess what, Su Xiong's battle cruisers were received from Germany. If Telegraph had completed the relevant preparations, by now, at exactly the same time, their early layout would have gained a strategic advantage, and then they would have given us a fatal blow when we were at our weakest."Jellicoe said.
"So what is the Hipper fleet doing now? "What Duff seemed to say casually made Jericho break into a cold sweat..." Yes, what is Hipper doing? Hold the grass! What is Hipper doing? What are the other warships of the German High Seas Fleet doing? "When he thought of this, Jericho felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave! The most elite battleship formations had all come out, and the other battleships were huddled at home? Jericho didn't believe it anyway! This is like fighting World of Warcraft, with the Archmage and the Hill leading The three methods of the human race came out to fight their opponents, but they didn't call in the militia! This is impossible! "I don't know, but we have not received feedback from various warning lines. If a large-scale fleet is dispatched, we There can be no information. "The chief of staff on the side said with certainty. Although the High Seas Fleet is not as big as the big fleet, if a decisive battle is really decided, hundreds of warships can be added together. How can such a large fleet be hidden? Jericho looked up at the sky. The weather is good today. If everyone spreads out the battle, Jericho guarantees that he can beat Scheer to the north. This also means that the Germans want to avoid the airships in the sky and the ones on the sea. A reconnaissance network composed of light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines in the water is basically impossible. After all, the boys of the Harwich Fleet are even more familiar with the situation on Germany's doorstep in the North Sea than they are with the Shetland Islands. After all, they have been wandering around for several months. . "Perhaps the Germans plan to make a fortune and leave? Although the coming ship is not a battlecruiser, the speed of the Bavaria-class battleship is obviously faster than that of our Queen, and is no slower than the first-generation battlecruiser. "Lieutenant General Duff said in a guessing tone."They have already made a lot of money! So far, the biggest trouble Betty's fleet has caused the Germans is the consumption of their ammunition! If possible, I hope that Vice Admiral Jerram can free Betty's remaining battleships and then turn around and leave the battlefield. "Jericho said. "Send another telegram to Betty and Jerram to explain what I mean. ""What about the Admiralty? They may not be able to accept it. Lieutenant General Duff said with some worry. "Go to hell Fisher!" What is the battleship he advocates? ! Something even the Japanese don’t like! "Jericho suddenly broke out. Not long ago, the two queens of the Thomas fleet made other people's export warships half-dead. Now those so-called "perfect cats" have made people beat two ships in seconds! When did the warships of the British Empire become so unbearable? ?! Jericho has decided that after this battle is over, he will have a good talk with Fisher. And if possible, he hopes to express his "distrust" to Fisher to the top brass of the British government! p>Second update~~~! Please subscribe and reward~~~!
