"The commander tower is in some bad condition. The Germans are turning the muzzle!" As if to prove Macaulay Leckie’s late insight, the lookout came in the microphone and called Macaulay Leckie hurriedly. Macaulay Leckie opened his hand to show that he was wrong, but the lookout’s report slapped him hard.
"Mao Qi is attacking the enemy, it seems …"
It seems that something exploded in Macaulay Leckie’s head. The Lieutenant Colonel was dizzy, his limbs were weak, his eyes were bloodshot, and the lookout finally said something, but the Lieutenant Colonel could not hear him.
Stumbling back a few steps, Macaulay Leckie slipped a few pages of newspapers in his hand and scattered them on the deck through the observation hole. The handwriting of the newspaper in the setting sun was faintly recognizable.
"collingwood Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet can act on its own initiative. Grand Fleet Command April 29, 1915" is to be continued.
The second gun Chapter 9 Gorgeous ending collapse new chapter (6)
"The collingwood and the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet can act on their own as appropriate. The Grand Fleet Command on April 29, 1915"
Ambiguous messages from the Grand Fleet Command put Captain Clemente Ley of the USS Collingwood in a dilemma.
Ley school can see that Jackson will subtext the commander-in-chief of the big fleet. He could have taken himself out of the bombing of London by the German navy, but he never imagined that the ultimate goal of the Germans was not Scarpa Bay or the Thames, but that Jackson would make repeated demands to come back to the Mediterranean to help the fleet.
Jackson dare not give up the Mediterranean aid fleet, which includes a formidable ship, six old battleships and thousands of officers and men. Once Jackson gives up their post-war liquidation, it will shake his shaky throne as commander-in-chief
However, Jackson did not dare to reach the rescue order. It goes without saying that the first reconnaissance fleet is powerful. Although there is a formidable ship near Portsmouth, the collingwood may not be able to save the Huiyuan fleet, but it may put itself in. Once the latter reaches the rescue order, Jackson has to take command responsibility, so everything will be really finished.
So Jackson, as always, gave evasive instructions to kick the ball to Clemente Ley.
Act on your own! Captain collingwood is not blindly arrogant in the face of the ocean fleet. The best choice for the first reconnaissance fleet is to turn its course and retreat to Portsmouth Port with fortress guns to protect it. But Jackson will hint that one after another "helping brothers" with the Mediterranean aid fleet really stirred Clementely’s ocean heart.
From ruin is not a British gentleman, and his style is even worse. Once the Mediterranean aid fleet army is destroyed, the rescue force will be criticized by all walks of life in Britain.
"Give a brother a hand?" The staff officer snorted, "Are you pulling us to die together?"
As soon as the word "rescue" was rejected, it was like a flood of water, and the determination was strong enough to make Captain Clemente Ley stunned.
Looking back, when the European War just broke out, the morale of the Royal Navy was high, and the commander of the Harriet fleet, Reginald, dared to go deep into the Helgolan Bay with only a dozen light patrols and destroyers and believed in the "long-range blockade". Jellicoe would face all kinds of doubts from the military to the people every day. On the other hand, the German ocean fleet was in a state of panic. Ri, their admirals regarded the theory of "patiently waiting for the end of the land war, France and Russia defeated Britain and surrendered" as the golden rule.
In less than a year, the naval battles in Helgolan Bay, korol and Dogel Shazhou, the naval battles in the Falklands and the tragic ScarGerakl Strait were all lost. The Royal Navy originated from the adventure in the era of great navigation. J Ο ng suddenly lost a column of the most precious backbone in the defeat, but the ocean fleet changed its cautious attitude before the war and constantly challenged and compressed the Royal Navy students.
Clemente Ley couldn’t make up his mind, but he knew that maybe the man in Scarpa Bay could make a final decision.
The newspaperman went back soon and devoted all his efforts to Britain. It’s no surprise that people who are frustrated will reply …
(Gorgeous dividing line)
Arthur Belfo was in a relaxed mood when he returned to the naval headquarters from Whitehall. Although the Germans were storming the Thames, Belfo knew that the Germans could not and did not dare to break through the defense line.
It can’t be the terrain where the Thames estuary is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the ocean fleet cleans up the fortress group on the north bank at a high cost, the fortress group on the south bank of the 29-kilometer channel is just as wide as it is.
It’s not because the German high emperor walked alone. If there is a stalemate in the navy, the ocean fleet is dancing boldly on a tightrope. They won again and again to force the emperor to misrepresent the navy’s economy and shipbuilding plan to quell the army’s dissatisfaction and jealousy. But a small defeat is enough to lose the initiative of the young people of the ocean fleet. Belfo never believes that Heidi Selim and his followers dare to exchange the capital ship for the ruined state of London
Arriving at the enemy’s city makes Britain awake from pride and face the pressure from the war. Belfo can pay the minimum price. Prime Minister Bonalau has formed an interest alliance. The left hand is the parliamentary Conservative Party and the Labour Party spare no effort to support the right hand, and the king’s great influence. The Ziyó u party has caused Britain to slide into the abyss. The background is vivid. After nearly a month of layout, Arthur Belfo in Whitehall Street finally became the most solid back garden of the navy.
Londoners are angry, but when the Admiralty held a press conference in front of hundreds of thousands of angry Londoners, which was the most arrogant in the history of the British Empire, it was publicly announced that warships had brought three Spanish-class battleships and two King Kong-class patrol ships to Britain, Londoners were immediately surrounded by Mr. Belfo.
The British are the ancestors of balanced diplomacy. Three Spanish-class battleships and two King Kong-class war patrols are just a war of attrition. What’s important is that the Admiralty of the British Empire held a grand press conference, which is different from forcing the palace to the Far East. There is no excuse for the yellow monkey to perfunctory Spain. There is no excuse for ambiguity. Because they Germans are already dead, the German Empire will never pity traitors.
After the shelling of London on April 29, Arthur Wang Haijun’s foundation has already begun to emerge. The Admiralty is eager for quick success and instant benefit, and the Churchill faction and the personnel bureaucracy are no longer a threat. The cutting-edge force that another aggressive and enterprising force is afraid of has been beaten and honed into a soldier by King Arthur under the guise of an arrogant senior officer. It is foreseeable that in the near future, they will be gathered by King Arthur into the most important link in Arthur Wang Haijun’s map.
Belfo, the scapegoat who was shelled in London, prepared earlier than the long-lost Chief of Staff of the Navy, the Minister of the Third Sea, and the commander-in-chief of the big fleet. He calculated that they were the last link in Arthur Wang Haijun’s plan.
After completing these preparations, the greatest lean man in the British Empire has the confidence to take an extremely risky bargain-hunting and thoroughly clean up the stale. The Royal Navy allowed this stumbling ship to stand on the top of the ocean again, but before the plan was almost successful, the episode was played on the other side of the North Sea. The genius once again played the whole British Mediterranean aid fleet, which was the dish in his bowl.
"Asphyxiation plan? Is this to drain the blood of Britain? All right, let the collingwood retreat. Our scapegoat can carry the responsibility of the Mediterranean Huiyuan fleet! "
(Gorgeous dividing line)
Solved the problem that the battleship Fearless, Mao Qi, patrolled and chased the battleship Fearless, and the Mao Qi people were not in a hurry to fire and had the speed advantage. They needed to make the Mao Qi in the best position, so the imperial emperor tried his best to advocate the emergence of a diagonal main turret.
At 16: 51, the Mao Qi patrol opened fire on the Hatred and swore to join the battle groups of three old battleships, the Seidlitz Majestic, the Ocean and the Hatred.
Although Seidlitz sank its target ship earlier, it shifted the muzzle and fired again a little later than Mao Qi.
Seidlitz spent a little time waiting for the smoke produced by the explosion and sinking of the battleship Majestic to disappear. When the general observation conditions were restored, the four 35 mm main turrets of the battleship Seidlitz aimed at the Ocean at the first time.
The officers and men of the Mao Qi Battleship Patrol Ocean are in a completely different mood at the moment. The former is delighted to find that the Seidlitz killed the Majestic in less than ten minutes with one enemy and three conditions. It is a kind of lofty sentiments that it is appropriate to chase the poor and the enemy. The latter is depressed to find that the last battleship fearless has been laid to rest. Three former dreaded ships besieged a dreaded ship, and the situation changed so quickly that a commander was caught off guard. It was a rabbit, a fox, and a sad and bleak one.
The mission of the Ocean Fire Command Ship ended gloriously. The bridge bell was completely lost. Lieutenant Colonel Macaulay Leckie fell from the altar and took another brave step to hell. Lieutenant Colonel Macaulay Leckie wanted to turn around and get rid of the German main gun.
At the same time, the cat-and-mouse game 3,000 yards away is also enthusiastic about the battleship solemn, which can be better than the dead majesty and the fearless, but the Devlinger is not worthy of the battle patrol.
Although Devingel didn’t hit the ammunition depot, steering engine room and power cabin of Solemn, many old battleships were shot, and a large amount of water flooded into the hull. The captain dared not reach the order of "leveling with water". When thousands of tons of water flooded into the hull and the right angle exceeded 25 degrees, the captain of Solemn painfully reached the order of abandoning the ship, waiting for them to be collected by destroyers with iron cross and black hawk flags and located in the East Prussia prison camp.
"At 16: 47, the Seidlitz sank the battleship Majestic; At 16: 04, the Mao Qi sank the battleship Fearless. After reading a circle, the intelligence commander finally came to the seemingly indifferent Marshal Schell’s hand. At 16: 53, the Devingel sank the battleship Solemn!
Sink three old battleships! Marshal Schell, the supernumerary of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, glanced at the newspaper carelessly, and the corners of his mouth were not easy to detect. Then he returned the newspaper to Heidi Selim.
"West Lyme is really curious about how you got the route of the British Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet when it returned …" Marshal Schell looked at the left and right low lines and asked, "I know that William’s aggressiveness and the pressure from your followers have moved you, which can shake the whole German mind. There is no word’ VN’ in my last name, and I also want to stop anything, but the Secretary of the Navy wants to make it clear that everything belongs to the Secretary of the Navy."
"It’s Italian!" Wang Haidi took the information and passed it through the Graudenz light patrol. He glanced at it and came over. erich Hepner, a personal assistant, had no heart to answer.
"The high-level navy in West Lyme knows that you have reached some agreements with some Italian politicians and their navy, but I don’t think Italians can get such J and NG quasi-information." Scheer sharply exposed Wang Haidi’s lies and kept asking questions.
"Well, Marshal …" Wang Haidi’s bitter face took the medicine and the water cup from erich Hepner, an old-fashioned assistant forced by the Admiralty, and glared at the first figurine angrily, swallowing the medicine for inhibiting neurasthenia and depression.
Schell was full of expectation that Wang Heidi would swallow the medicine and return the cup to the assistant and then show his cards, but Wang Haidi gave Schell a strange smile, which made the Secretary of the Navy have a bad feeling in his heart.
"that’s a secret that can’t be told!"
The second gun Chapter 10 Brilliant victory (1)
On April 29, 1915, at 16: 55, leaving the English Channel far from Germany, the two sides of the North Sea were in full swing.
Not open to the sea, a standard displacement of 19,56 tons equipped with a 12-inch main gun cost as much as 160,000 pounds before inflation. The ship was driven around by a standard displacement of 4,912 tons equipped with seven single-mounted 15-mm main guns, two destroyers with a displacement of less than 600 tons and only a few 45-mm guns and an unarmed seaplane.
To the British people’s shame, the former hung the great Mizi flag high, while the latter was their enemy, the German Navy.
"Watchtower report found a light patrol and two destroyers temporarily no trace of the German first reconnaissance fleet …"
"Since we haven’t found the first reconnaissance fleet, there’s no need to beat around the bush on the Isle of Wight." The lookout’s report slightly soothed the panic of the collingwood and associated it with the pursuit of those three light warships. Just now, I tried my best to oppose the rescue of the Mediterranean Rescue Fleet gunner Cooper. I was so stupid that I moved captain Clementley. "Sink the Germans with a 12-inch muzzle. There is room for those daring small sampans in Germany to tremble!" ”“
"But Cooper, we have lost contact with the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet. We can’t rule out that Heidi Selim has solved the problem that the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet has transferred its combat power back to deal with the collingwood. This may be!"
Co-captain Watson refuted Cooper’s radicalism.
At 16: 33, the collingwood newspaper office received a report from the flagship "German battleship discovered" of the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet. Selim did not divide his troops but attacked the Huiyuan Fleet with Chinese troops.
At 16: 04, whether to support collingwood, the Mediterranean aid fleet in the midst of fierce fighting, still has no idea. Jackson, commander-in-chief of the big fleet, will throw a hot potato to the people of collingwood, but collingwood also dare not jump to conclusions. Captain Clemente Ley sent a report to Scarpa Bay for advice. At this time, the collingwood watchtower accidentally discovered a German ship in the east.
The strangest scene in naval history happened when it was discovered that the German light warship collingwood did not beat the children in the past, but quickly turned its course and fled to the Isle of Wight in the northwest. German light warships not only failed to show that they were afraid of British ships, but should be modest and prudent. Instead, they swaggered after the collingwood.
It’s not that the men of the British Empire lost their courage to bully others, but that the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet lost their contact, which made them treading on thin ice at 16: 46. The battleship Collingwood received the last newspaper from the Irish, and then lost its contact reporter. For example, calling the flagship of the Irish Huiyuan Fleet remained silent all the time.
The story that the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet lost its connection and found a German light surface ship was so tense that it was impossible for collingwood people not to use their imagination and creativity to connect two things together. The first reconnaissance fleet had wiped out the Mediterranean Huiyuan Fleet, and the Germans were not satisfied with a super-feared ship and six old-fashioned battleships. The result was that the leading force in the north was already in the east of collingwood.
The foggy and anxious chess game off Portsmouth harbor is so strange that Clementeley is in a suspicious situation. The naval academy hesitates to infect the 20,000-ton collingwood and let a group of little guys chase it around.
"Captain Scarpa Bay!"
The light of the battleship Collingwood went out, and a telegraph operator panted and rushed into the swaying heart of the commander of the battleship Collingwood, Taclementley, to add a weight.
"General David Betty asked us to return to Portsmouth immediately!"
