Chapter 882: Temporary Meeting 1

"According to General Moore's telegram, the time they fought against their opponents was not long, that is, about 20 minutes. During this period, the New Zealand and Australia used up almost all the smoke canisters, and the destroyer fleet also threw away All the torpedoes were destroyed." Jericho vaguely revealed the reason why the Moore fleet was spared.

"Destroyers, destroyer fleet! Hold the grass, where are Betty's destroyers?!" At this time, Major General Duff remembered that there were more than 2 dozen destroyers and 1 dozen light cruisers going out with Betty! But looking at it now, apart from these crumbling battleships, the remaining kittens together total less than 2 digits! "Maybe they went back to the port first?" Duff came up with a very lame excuse. "A destroyer group seems to have been sunk by all members. This is an out-and-out disaster, gentlemen! Cheer up! Let us meet new challenges! The glory of the Royal Navy cannot rest on us. Loss, Nelson, Drake and other ancestors are watching us in heaven! It’s not that we have never experienced failure. The only difference between us and our opponents is that we can stand up again after losing, but if the opponent loses, everything will be over. It’s over!” Admiral Jericho, who always gave people a peaceful and strong feeling, said loudly. "Move now! Help our partners who have just experienced this war return home smoothly! Let's go to Roses Base together! And let all the officers above the major general who participated in this battle come to me immediately flagship, I need to take care of some things," Jericho said. Half an hour later, four fleet chiefs, Betty, Jerram, Hood, and Moore, took transport boats and arrived at General Jericho's flagship, the Iron Duke. Looking at these pale-faced generals with a murderous aura all over their bodies, the adjutant in charge of the reception ran away immediately after giving each of them a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. These guys who were originally at the level of carnivores had gone through a lot. After the battle, it became even more terrifying and unsettling, like a sword being sharpened! “Let’s drink 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. Just a small cup will give you a few I won't be able to sleep all night. I don't think you all want to have a good night's sleep during this period of time. We have a lot of work to deal with. So, let's drink a cup of coffee to refresh ourselves." After speaking, Jericho glanced at Several people present drank the coffee in their hands. Jericho's eyes swept over everyone present one by one. Betty's anger and unwillingness, Jerram's solemnity and worry, Moore's helplessness and loneliness, and Hood's perseverance all fell on Jericho. In his eyes, "Well, very good. Although we lost, our spirit has not collapsed!" Jericho gave everyone here a thumbs up in his heart. It was just a spiritual performance, but in the end, tactics and battles How to deal with the mistakes made on the Internet, and how to deal with them... "I have a document in my hand that describes the course of the battle. I hope everyone here can take a look first to see if there is anything missing." Jericho said. Fifteen minutes later, when Betty was the last one to close the document in his hand, Jericho asked again: "If there is no doubt, then I want to know why General Betty discovered the German fleet and fought with him. Before the battle, the four super-dreadnought battlecruisers Lion, Tiger, Queen Mary, and Grand Princess want to break away from 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 hold them back. Hipper only had 5 battlecruisers, of which 3 were super-dreadnoughts. I originally thought that even my 4 battleships could not be defeated. The opponent can at least hold them back. The speed difference between General Moore and myself is only 2 to 3 knots.

General Moore will soon follow. "Betty said with a pale face.

"My fleet did quickly catch up with General Betty, but by that time, we had been defeated. Before the German battle line unfolded, we couldn't even be sure. How many battleships does the opponent have? This time, the German frigates came out a lot, there were 3 squadrons of light cruisers, and at least 3 dozen destroyers! Neither we nor the Harwich fleet can penetrate their outer cordon for close reconnaissance. There's nothing we can do about it. "Looking at the commander next to him, Major General Moore said."Yes, it's Tilit! (Commander of the Harwich Fleet) He has two destroyer groups in his hands, a total of 8 squadrons and 32 destroyers! But he failed to figure out the opponent's fleet formation. This is an intolerable failure. He should go to a military court! "Betty suddenly shouted. (Actually, from a historical perspective, Betty's character is really not very good, and the behavior of shirking responsibility and passing the blame is too normal.) "Brigadier General Tyrit has no responsibility. His fleet was conducting decentralized reconnaissance, and he sent out the information on the discovery of enemy ships as soon as possible. The entire German fleet was traveling at about 24 knots, followed by 3 light cruiser formations and 40 destroyers. Commodore Tirit did not Perhaps the model and number of the German fleet were so clear through the layers of blockade. "Jericho stared at Betty, with a trace of disgust hidden in his eyes."General Betty, you can reserve your opinion, but I will never admit that the Harwich fleet has subjective errors in any report. "Finally, Jericho added."Lieutenant General Jerram and Major General Hood, what do you think? Let's talk about it, Betty's fleet was dispersed, and you and General Hood fought a battle with each other that was at least equal in numbers. "After Jericho finished speaking, he no longer looked at Betty on the left, but turned his attention to the others. "The other party had a total of 6 Bavaria-class battleships participating in the battle, but the guns of the two battleships behind them The skill level is relatively low, which is probably one of the main reasons why my fleet was spared. With all due respect, if the same number of warships were fighting, it would be impossible for any of our warships to last more than an hour in front of the battleship Bavaria! "Rear Admiral Hood said with a wry smile. Rear Admiral Hood's guess can only be half right. The poor gunnery of Hesse and Mecklenburg is one reason, but the most important reason is the number of armor-piercing shells on the two battleships. Not enough... "Not even the Queen? "Although Jericho was a little surprised, he still said calmly.The second update~~~! Please subscribe and support~~~!
