(Gorgeous dividing line)
"Finally, it’s a relief that the boys are still alive and can see the statue of Port William and the oak tree of Port Kiel!"
Imperial Navy J ? ng China Ocean Fleet, a hundred warships, divided into three squares in the south of the North Sea. The sea is like ink, tearing apart dozens of kilometers of fronts and marching into Helgolan Bay in the northeast at night.
British sailors surrounded the deck were trained by Lieutenant Colonel Lauren, and the marines escorted the deck cabin of the transport ship to escape. British officials wiped their foreheads, sweated and smoked cigarettes, enjoying the treatment of lucky officers.
The noisy transport ship finally got deep peace and hung with the rank of lieutenant general. Wang Haidi squatted in the front of the chimney and flew over the bridge. He gulped his cigarette in his mouth and rushed to embroider it before he passed through his lungs.
Light blue Se smoke dissipates. In the sea breeze of the North Sea, Haidi grabbed a small cigarette butt and stared at the distant place to continue the topic.
"The commander is responsible for the young people and their families, and I am very scared. I am afraid that the young people I sent will not come back. Fortunately, they are still alive. When this terrible war is over, we can still welcome the hero back."
"West Lyme …" General Franz von Hippel, commander-in-chief of the ocean fleet, raised his hand in return for the patrolling sailors, glancing at the undefeated sailors like Ares. hippel gently coughed and truthfully revealed his anxiety. "Wei Gena carefully calculated the naval battle schedule of Ritland. He found that there was about a fifteen-minute window from the British encounter with the reconnaissance fleet to the capture of them, which was enough for them to send us a pre-jǐng message …"
"Maybe there’s something wrong with the reconnaissance fleet, or maybe it’s the weather or him."
Wang Haidi shook his head and vetoed General hippel’s judgment. In 19 years, the Far East rescue war came to mind unconsciously. The Hutong first met Tianjin and the overseas concession pub and talked about the hangover on the eve of the wedding in 1992 and the appreciate each other in Kiel Port in 1914.
Wang Haidi threw away the cigarette butt and chased after it. "I know David Betty. He’s not a bad hand!"
"I hope so." hippel, who is famous for his reason and calmness, will change the subject and lean against the iron rope guardrail of the flying bridge and casually ask, "What’s the new plan?"
"How about taking Scarpa Bay?" Wang Haidi withdrew her distracted eyes and said, "The big fleet has retreated to Willis Bay. Now is a good time to occupy Scarpa Bay!"
"Occupy Scarpa Bay? ！” Reckless Lauren Lieutenant Colonel emerged from nowhere. He tightened his Sam Browne belt with a face of excitement. Yin "Commander-in-Chief, my Marine Corps has 3,000 people. Although there is a lack of artillery, the captains of the ocean fleet must not mind that I removed some 15 mm and mm naval guns from warships …"
"Haha, General Falkenhayn will be grateful to you!" When Lieutenant Colonel Lauren focused his attention on Scarpa Bay in the northwest, hippel looked in the opposite direction.
Across the dangerous English Channel minefield, across the jagged front trench, across the rolling hills on the north side of the Paris Basin, behind the meat grinder, Normandy beach was quiet.
(Gorgeous dividing line)
Max von Baden, the richest prince of Baden, jumped out as soon as erich von Falkenhein, chief of the army’s general staff, spoke.
"The first noble and officer corps will firmly support all actions; Second, we have mastered imperial finance and land. Although some factory owners and university professors support West Lyme, this force is not yet a climate. Third, we already have the most perfect plan, similar to the oolong after the naval battle in Ri Delan, which can never be copied this time; The fourth Reich inherited from the Prussian era. The military system is strong enough. Once we show our cards, the navy has to shut up! "
The second gun chapter 11 collapse began (a)
In May, the North Atlantic wind came slowly, and the melancholy light rain fell on the remote and cold island in the northernmost part of Scotland.
Scarpa Bay was brilliant after the Battle of Scarpa Gerakl Strait in March and the Battle of Portsmouth in April. Even if the large fleet returned to Scarpa Bay in early May, the incomplete fleet could not appease the resentment of the residents and military families of the Orkney Islands and could not keep the Royal Navy sailors from being distracted.
Outside the window, the battleship Queen Elizabeth sounded its whistle and followed suit. Behind a small pilot boat, it slowly sailed into the water-covered Lescapa Bay to enter and exit the waterway.
At the beginning of May, the Canadian Battleship completed the commissioning of the Tyne River estuary in Newcastle. Although it is still a problem for this ship to return to Scarpa Bay after being re-sold for export, such as crossing the North Sea and firmly controlling the German Navy, this does not prevent the large fleet from slowly recovering its strength. Today, a destroyer detachment of the Queen Elizabeth Battleship returned to Scarpa Bay to rejoin the large fleet. The battle sequence can be regarded as gloomy and bleak. The second good news in May was that the number of main ships of the small fleet finally rose to 20.
When the queen returned, the whistle disappeared in the rainy season, and the main island of Orkney extended to the North Sea. The loudspeaker of a watchtower with a height of tens of meters sounded again.
The villa’s small windowsill is filled with the smell of humidity and decay, and even a few cactuses are impatient. The British humidity hangs its head and loses its vitality. The squeal jǐng newspaper is endless, and the boots on the corridor come to the ground and reverberate through the half-closed door. The narrow room is under house arrest.
"This memoir will never be finished …"
The half-closed door was pushed open to guard here. A military prosecutor came in and showed Lampard the tickets and handcuffs issued by the secret military court of Scarpa Bay base.
Nearly two months of investigation, evidence collection and hearing. On May 17, 1915, a significant trial was imminent. Lampard had some regrets that he could not finish the "Sla Gerakl Gold" perfectly after all. He regretted that the last hope of the British Empire was about to be destroyed in the aftermath of the futile naval battle.
"I want to know the trial result of General David Betty if the prosecutor doesn’t violate the confidentiality rules …" Lampard stuffed his memoirs into the cupboard, locked them and calmly handed out his hands to the military prosecutor.
"Although I sympathize with you …" The prosecutor didn’t accuse Major General Lampard of facing up to six charges in a military court. He looked around and shook his head with a wry smile.
The prosecutor didn’t want to say more. Major General Lampard went to the unknown front in silence, sitting in a military vehicle sent by the court in silence.
"The commander-in-chief of our big fleet left his command mistakes clean. The responsibility for the big fleet’s hasty retreat to Willis Bay was borne by the Admiralty, while the collingwood refused to rescue the fleet, and General Betty took the blame. General Betty is likely to quit the naval military prison for ten years, but the despicable person can still go to jail as his commander-in-chief!"
The military vehicle Orkney galloped on the muddy road in the north of the main island. The military police looked at the prosecutor with a slight frown and a cough, and told Lampard about the recent situation of the British navy.
"Now the situation in the sea is very unfavorable to us. After the Portsmouth naval battle, the strangulation war between German submarines and Britain intensified. Even if they sank an American merchant ship last week, the Germans still did not converge much. After the Portsmouth naval battle, Jackson lost control of the fleet, and now the big fleet is lax in military discipline and fighting spirit. The captains all complain that the combat readiness training has been carried out normally. To make matters worse, General Selim formed a marine corps with more than 10,000 troops and trained the German powerful army. I think it is not far from the time when the Germans landed in England! " …,
Lampard didn’t want to break the tacit understanding that the Navy Procuratorate sent prosecutors. He closed his eyes and dozed off while keeping his ears open to absorb the messy information from the driver’s mouth.
When the military vehicle stopped outside the military court of Scarpa Bay base, Lampard was used to big scenes, and he was still frightened by the sight of the guest cloud at the naval base.
In front of the two-story brick red Se building of the military court, there stands a Mi-flag fluttering in the wind. The Mi-flag is crowded with hundreds of media reporters in China, as well as 10,000 local residents in orkney with Se and sailors holding bottles and swearing.
The Orkney Islands residents and military families have reason to be angry because they were betrayed naked by the big fleet. Although the scene of the German attack on Scarpa Bay did not appear, everyone knows that if the genius on the other side of the North Sea wants Jackson Root, he can easily land on orkney Island without relying on the brutal German sailors.
Sailors have more reason to curse when sailors come back from the terrible nightmare of Scarborough Gerakl Strait. General David Betty has been regarded as a naval battle defeat and sacrificed under house arrest. He will be tried by a military court, and the whole Britain will be overwhelmed with accusations. The officers and men of the big fleet choose to endure this breath. They hope that the new leader Jackson can lead them to complete their self-redemption and return to the ocean. But apart from the mandatory implementation of new line management regulations and the treatment of most technical officers by the big fleet, the commander-in-chief of the big fleet is a dime a dozen. What’s more, all kinds of orders against the wishes and principles of naval sailors in the battle of Portsmouth, which was doomed to sacrifice David Betty, have made them feel humiliated. After the war, Jackson’s excuses completely angered the sailors
"is this still the royal navy that can’t be defeated in the vertical and horizontal oceans?" Major General Lampard forced himself to swallow saliva. He had no doubt that when the military court made a penalty that could not satisfy the sailors, the sailors would rush to wait for a catastrophe. "The trial should be held in secret, prosecutor. How can you make the trial public? Something will happen!"
"Major General, this is the request of the Secretary of the Navy," the prosecutor looked at the drunken sailors and worried. "General, not only these reporters and sailors, but all the important people in the British Empire have come to Scarpa Bay today!"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
There are only a hundred seats for hearing, and the Naval Military Court in Scarpa Bay is crowded. In addition to judges, juries and gendarmes who maintain order, all-powerful people in the British Empire have appeared in this corner at this moment.
King George V sent King Edward and naval service, and King Albert sent a representative of the Minister of Justice on behalf of the royal prime minister Bonarau, and a representative of the Labour Party leader on behalf of the parliament. The army just dismissed the command post of the Garipoli campaign and re-established the defense commander Sir Ian Hamilton, but the national defense commission came with great pomp. Ten defense commissioners, including the naval minister Arthur Belfo, three ministers of the sea (the third minister was absent) and the acting deputy chief of staff of the naval general staff, attended the meeting with pleasure.
If Germany had a Tomahawk cruise missile in 1915, perhaps the British empire could consider from now on, such as ending the war and seeking a decent surrender. Unfortunately, history was broken without a "if". Wang Haidi did not carry a Tomahawk cruise missile.
"Murderos Bay raid suffered a major defeat in the British Mediterranean. This was originally a naval salvation war, but the Mediterranean landing fleet was negligent in taking precautions. The news of the Murderos Bay fiasco came that the navy had two choices: either let the angry Londoners smash the naval headquarters and poke the backbone of the Royal Navy, or change the blitz attack on Helgolan Bay to cross the rubicon. last stand saved the honorary prosecutor of the navy. What choice would you make if you were in my position?" …,
The dock is wearijīng a ribbon with the epaulettes removed. David Betty’s hair is messy and his face is haggard. J and ng’s state of mind is not good either. If two gendarmes hadn’t "supported" him, perhaps the British Empire used to be proud that the Royal Navy and Marine Cavalry would have fallen to the ground because of physical weakness.
Sitting next to Major General Osmond Brock, deputy commander of Scarpa Bay Base, Ethel Shu, the daughter of Marshall Field, the founder of Chicago department store, pursed her lips and threw her heart and nervous eyes at her husband, but Betty smiled calmly and gestured a wide heart to her wife.
"Maybe you choose to ambush the German first reconnaissance fleet with a noble starting point and can be blamed, but what’s the result? After the naval battle in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait, the big fleet lost seven capital ships in one breath and became devastated! "
The young prosecutor sent by the Naval Procuratorate is not entangled in the question of whether the big fleet last stand is reasonable. You know, before the naval battle in Scarborough Gerakl Strait, the British Empire accused the navy of being conservative, and the main fleet fought a decisive battle, which was widely expected by the British. Moreover, the prosecutor was unwilling to break David Betty’s tacit understanding and avoid revealing the secrets of the Admiralty in front of the top management of the kingdom.
Churchill was a name that made the sailors feel ashamed. Since the buffoon was about to turn into the dust of naval history, he didn’t take it out and whip the corpse. It was necessary for the prosecutor to skip Churchill’s selfish and irrational newspaper and chase after the fiasco in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait. This ending gave David Betty a hard chase.
"The fast fleet has a total of ten capital ships, including three’ perfect cats’ lion class battleships, one’ perfect cats’ ending tiger class battleships and only two fast battleships in the British Empire. Look at our opponent. Even though Heidi Selim has excellent command talent, he has five capital ships, and one of them is going to be sold to the Greek export ship, General Betty. Your reputation is no worse than Heidi Selim’s, but your ten capital ships encircled five German capital ships, but you were defeated and lost four battleships, resulting in war-weariness Well, General Betty, I can understand why your command error caused the fast fleet to be defeated and dragged the big fleet into the battle group. ！”
The second gun chapter 12 collapse began (2)
"Well, general Betty, I can understand the cause of your command error, which led to the fiasco of the fast fleet and dragged the big fleet into the fray? ！”
The young prosecutor caressed his picture frame and grabbed Scarborough Gerakl Strait. The naval battle ended in a pale and aggressive way.
"I believe that the expedition of the fast fleet is not a secret for the German intelligence service, and I will not underestimate Heidi Selim’s strategic vision. Although I abandon the usual route of the fast fleet cruising in the North Sea, these tricks can’t be concealed from Heidi Selim. Of course, this is exactly what I want. When the fast fleet sank three second-class cruisers of the third German reconnaissance fleet, I decided to return to the original speed, get rid of the ocean fleet and chase the Ska Gerakl Strait to intercept our first German reconnaissance fleet for decisive battle."
Even though it has been more than two months since the end of the naval battle in Scarborough Gerakl Strait, the naval battle process has been deeply meaningful. David Betty’s former commander-in-chief of the fast fleet launched a sharp counterattack without organizing his own language.
"It’s a pity that I foresaw the beginning but didn’t guess the ending. Selim and I misjudged each other. Selim will go straight back to Scarpa Bay from Helgolan Bay, but I am sure that the interception direction of the first reconnaissance fleet comes from the northeast prosecutor, Mr. Ska Gerakl Strait. In the final analysis, it is a Lisa naval battle, but prosecutor, can you blame the source of the failure of the naval battle on the mutual prejudgment of the warring parties?"
"General Betty has’ bold and simple’ naval battles in Helgolan Bay, korol and Falkland Islands as negative materials. I have to admit that the war preparations for the war in SkGerakl Strait in Europe were the best."
The young naval prosecutor has not been infected by the slick liars in the civil court. He maintains limited and cautious recognition of David Betty’s contribution to seeking truth from facts, but he still pursues David Betty’s command responsibility.
"Since both sides misjudged mistakes, the intelligence level of both sides should be at the same starting line at the beginning of the naval battle, but the fact is that the fast fleet has the advantage of the number of capital ships but still suffers a fiasco. How should this be explained?"
