The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 845: This is politics!

This is simply unreasonable. Fisher didn’t even think about it. If the Tiger didn’t follow Betty’s order, it would be fine to continue chasing Hipper, because he is the pilot ship, and the next ship will follow forward, so 4 dozen. 3 is still possible. But if the tiger and the eldest princess both turned to beat Blücher, the two BCs continue to chase Hipper, let alone whether they can catch up, even if they catch up, 2 fights 3 and kills. ? ! It is okay for you to throw this pot on the head of Tiger Captain Perry, because he is the only one who can resist this order, but what does that mean when you finally throw it on the head of Moore at the back?

Of course, Betty may also realize that it was his signal officer's problem on this issue, so he did not directly criticize Moore, but he did not forget to pour some dirty water in his memoirs. To make matters worse, Betty also pointed out to Jericho that Moore was not suitable for the commander of the battlecruisers. Just for this behavior, it is not too much to say a villain?

And with regard to the fire door problem, the Germans found the problem. The turret of the No. 5 turret of the Sedritz was penetrated, and even the No. 4 turret was destroyed. Hipper, who almost became a local plane, went back and took the battle. The fire protection has been changed, but what about the British? The chief engineer of the Lion proposed that the ammunition operation room caught fire after being hit, so he hoped to set up a fire door to prevent this problem. However, there is no use for eggs... No one cares about him.

As for the follow-up? Sir Fisher wanted to find out, but Churchill believed that people should not pour cold water on the joy of victory. So many things will stop here. Then, it was time for the Battle of Jutland. The Lion’s signal was still blurred, and the British Empire lost three battlecruisers due to fire protection... It's not too much to say that it is a system problem, right?

Although Major General Kul is not as foresighted as the prince, as an old fried dough stick who has been in the organization for many years, he naturally knows that those things can be said, those things cannot be said, and that the problem of his equipment is not good, it is absolutely impossible to say. This is a question of political correctness. Your best warship is not as good as the German second-rate warship. If this argument is true, who will bear the responsibility? Fisher? Churchill? Or someone else? Anyway, no matter who it is, Thomas can not afford it...

Major General Kuhl is fair or somewhat conscientious. In fact, he is also very dangerous. After all, he and Thomas are planning this battle together. If he really slaps him down, Thomas and Kuhl will not be able to run.. ..... He knew that apart from the command of concentrated firepower, Thomas’ command had no problems. They successfully obtained the intelligence of the Germans and successfully led the Germans into the encirclement, but you can’t beat others. Method?

"After all, we also caused a lot of damage to the German fleet, didn’t we? Their main guns also suffered heavy losses. None of the two German warships lost at least 2 turrets, and the power system of the Scharnhorst seemed to be out of order. They just got better luck so they can run away.” Major General Kuhl said, these words are not groundless, he also made a conclusion after listening to the reports of the officers and soldiers on the two battleships, of course, because of the chaotic battlefield. Circumstances, it is normal for misjudgments to occur, and God will forgive some things wrongly...

"This result is too optimistic." Thomas said with an embarrassed expression. "If there is such a result, I will never retreat."

"No, your fleet retreated because the Queen Elizabeth turret was destroyed, and the ammunition depot was forced to fill with water, which caused severe tilt and speed reduction. This is the key. If you want to continue to direct the Indian Ocean encirclement and suppression plan, Then you must listen to me on this point. We must let the people of the Admiralty see hope. Only in this way can you have a chance to save." Rear Admiral Kuer insisted.

"If this is the case, you will draft this battle report." Thomas said dissatisfied.

"I can consider this, but I need to determine a few things. First, is Scharnhorst really damaged the power system. Second, do you think the German fleet can resist war exhaustion and Malaya?" Ku You are still very ethical, although he decided to "artize" the battle report. Let the battle report originate from reality but higher than reality, but, after all, he cannot write repeated defeats as repeated defeats... The former can be said to be a mistake, while the latter is a matter of principle.

"The power system of the Scharnhorst should have been damaged. At first, the Germans were planning to run away, so it was a last resort to stay. But in the end they seemed to restore the power system to normal? I am not sure about this, but I can guarantee , They will certainly not be able to catch up with Malaya in perfect condition and war exhaustion."

"Although the German fleet has an advantage in the battle, their combat power is also very expensive. Even if it is not a loss, their ammunition is definitely not enough. My flagship destroyed 450 shells in this battle~www.mtlnovel. com~ The opponent’s rate of fire is faster and it must consume more ammunition. Their remaining ammunition is definitely not enough to support such a battle." Thomas said.

"In other words, as long as we can find them, we can complete the task?" Major General Kur asked.

"It can be understood this way." Thomas nodded and said.

"Well, let's work harder. We will compile the report tonight and send it out overnight. I think those big men in the Admiralty should have been waiting for this, right?" Rear Admiral Kurt sighed.

"What is your purpose for writing this report like this?" Thomas looked at the major general in front of him, feeling a little strange. The other party seemed to know a lot of things. Although everyone is a general, it is clear that Kuhl is closer to the core. Some things are clearer. What he did was definitely not just to justify this failure.

"You know? Three days ago, General Jericho sent me a telegram. He said that the situation in the North Sea was very bad. German battlecruisers attacked frequently. They bombarded our cities on the east coast and were in the harbor. Minefields were laid out outside, making us very passive. Betty’s battlecruiser formation tried to intercept, but the effect was not good. General Jericho thought this was a sign that the High Seas Fleet had to take action. In order to prevent it from happening, Jerry In the last week, General Ke conducted three tactical cruises. However, it was of no use. The fleet was too loud, and Betty had difficulty catching the opponent." Major General Kuhl sighed.
