"Colonel Benyank, please give an objective account of the situation of the entire fleet when Rear Admiral Moore made the decision to retreat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Especially in the case of the 3 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships under your command. "At the British Admiralty, after learning of the recent naval battle in which the British Navy had lost a battlecruiser, Sir Fisher, who could not bear his anger, personally sat down, summoned some of the Royal Navy's top brass, and summoned some personnel to investigate the cause of the defeat, and the brunt of the Rear Admiral Moore's temporary command of the fast fleet.

"The situation was very bad, the Warweary was hit by at least a dozen or more shells from its main guns, our main armor was even penetrated, and the battleship lost half of its firepower at that time. The Prestige was also in a bad situation, having a turret destroyed. The Counterattack was hit in the bow with 2 large-caliber shells, which carried about 1,300 tons of water. The No. 4 turret in the stern of the battleship was broken by one barrel. I don't know what will happen to the other warships, if they hold on for another 20 minutes, then it's hard to say anything else, it is estimated that the Warweary will definitely not be able to go back, it will fall behind, and then be killed by the swarming German destroyers. Colonel Benyank said.

"But there will always be sacrifices in the battle, and if Moore can hold on, even if it costs us, we can definitely get it back, right?" Churchill motioned to Sir Fisher, who was angry next to him, to remain silent for a moment, and then asked in a calm but dignified tone.

"I don't think so. I'm not just talking about the Invincible of the Grand Fleet, Neptune, the Iron Duke, the Prince of Wales, and even the Queen Elizabeth, the Vengeance-class battleships, none of which are useful! Really, trust me. I once participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Blucher, and it took us at least 3 hours to take out 1 of the original German battlecruisers with 4 Queen-class battleships and a large number of light cruisers and destroyers! We questioned the prisoners, and the guy was pretty sure that none of our shells had penetrated its main armor belt, and he even defiantly said that the Royal Navy would have worked better with only torpedoes! This bastard. The Colonel's unexpectedly tough and resentful attitude shocked everyone present.

"When did the officers and men of the British Empire degenerate to such an extent?! These cowards! Coward! Shameful scum! After the soldiers had taken the colonel down, Sir Fisher's angry roar, which had finally reached the brink of an outburst, resounded throughout the room.

"The 7 battle cruisers that originally belonged to the 1st Battle Cruiser Squadron have now sunk 5 ships. If you calculate the battle loss rate of personnel, it is at least more than 60%, and there is not one in ten surviving personnel on the battleship that was killed in seconds. There was indeed something wrong with Major General Moore's actions, and Admiral Jericho agreed to deal with Major General Moore, but the scope of the strike should not be expanded. "Charles. Lieutenant General Madden thought for a moment and said.

Although the chief of staff of the Royal Navy was also very angry about Rear Admiral Moore's early withdrawal, after calming down and thinking about it, he had to say that this was understandable. Because some events that happened afterwards made the British realize that even if Rear Admiral Moore held out for half an hour, after the Grand Fleet was in place, there might not be any results. The Germans could fight for another ten minutes and then retreat, and the fleet, as the second largest naval power in the world, could not be compared to the British fleet, but everyone had it!

At the time of evacuation, those seaplanes that were broken behind the fleet carried smoke canisters and released smoke screens to cover the fleet's retreat, as long as the Germans left early, under the cover of the smoke screen, at least about 20 minutes could be gained, and after 20 minutes, the German fleet may have relied on high speed to throw off the large fleet, and by that time it will still be victorious. The fast fleet, on the other hand, may suffer new losses as a result of this time. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the Tiger and Australia in the back, these crispy skins are almost undefended under the 15-inch naval guns of the Germans, as long as a suitable hit, maybe they will be directly lit with an extra-large firecracker.......

"I hope Vice Admiral Betty can replace this coward and bring the Fast Fleet back to life! His high fighting spirit and indomitable spirit will definitely be able to bring the fast fleet out of the trough! Sir Fisher said, taking the opportunity.

"I need to talk to Admiral Jericho about this. However, Vice Admiral Thomas will soon be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital, and in the event of an exciting victory without fault, the Fast Fleet should still be under the command of Vice Admiral Thomas. Churchill thought for a moment and said. Then, instead of giving Fisher the opportunity to continue bargaining, he turned around and asked Lieutenant General Madden. "Your Excellency, what is the most serious thing about the Royal Navy right now, apart from the problems with its equipment? Is it courage or confidence that is lacking? ”

There were many problems with equipment, such as the early explosion of shells, such as the Queen's overweight, and the problem of insufficient armor protection that existed on almost all British battleships. The British have already identified these problems, but, alas, they are not capable, and the latter say that it will take a long time to solve ....... Churchill knew that the Royal Navy was full of complaints about its equipment, and if he had brought it up, the rest of the time would probably have been criticism of someone and complaints about the Imperial shipyards. And this does nothing good except to increase antagonism within the Navy and resentment towards each other.

"I think it's the confidence, and the low morale, that the officers and men of the Royal Navy are still fearless and courageous. But the repeated defeats have left them with no hope of defeating their opponents, and our Grand Fleet is like a wild boar with infinite strength but no one can hit the opponent, and the opponent can easily play us with ease. Although the fast fleet has improved a lot, the number of queens is still not enough, and we cannot even guarantee that we will hold out long enough in front of the German high seas fleet. ”

"Of course, our officers and men also believed that our fleet was not capable of destroying the excellent German battleships. They were like an unbeatable hydra, repeatedly battered but still survived to the end, and the more troops participated in the battle, the more powerless this feeling became, and even in General Thomas's fleet there was a saying that their fleet needed at least 2 base shells to take out a German battleship. Lieutenant General Madden responded.

"The shipyards of the British Empire were building new warships around the clock. We are even considering the production of warships with 16-inch guns! As for the issue of shells. I'm sorry, but so far, almost all suppliers have not been able to solve the problem. Fisher said with some embarrassment.
