Chapter 23: The Pursuit

John. It had been an hour since Tovey received the telegram from Colonel Rich, and the adjutant with the telegram in his hand turned to John in a trembling voice. Tovey reported bad news after another, the sinking of the Hood and the Prince of Wales, and on the German side, in addition to the two surface ships, there were also an unknown number of U-boats! The most important thing is that Bismarck actually has a martial spirit!

The two ships approached the pension of 4,000 officers, the fall of a mature martial spirit, and a series of blows made John. Tovey suddenly aged dozens of years.

One bad news after another made John, who was over half a hundred years old. Tovey collapsed on his stool, he knew that the impact of this matter was too great!

The emergence of martial arts has made a large number of young girls active on the battlefield appear in the original war-torn war, and has also added a different style to the battlefield full of artillery fire, and has also made more and more young people join the military academy in order to become the commander of martial arts, adding new blood to the construction of the army.

The appearance of martial spirits,Weapons have become anthropomorphic,The army has also begun to prohibit the destruction of weapons,The birth of martial spirits is related to the number of battles found out that there is no data showing how these girls were born。

In the long war, any weapon has a certain probability of awakening the martial spirit, even the German Army's standard equipment K98K Mauser 1898 short carbine, which is commonly known as 98k, can give birth to the martial spirit, and the birth of the martial spirit has become a mystery.

Over time, these girls who are active on the battlefield are also deeply loved by the people, and they also have a high popularity among ordinary people, but at the same time, they are also accompanied by an inevitable problem, that is, the fall of martial spirits.

The scarcity of martial spirits and the appearance of effeminate women seem out of place in war, and while reminding people of the cruelty of war, they also take the aesthetics of violence to the extreme.

Unlike the officers and soldiers who died on the battlefield, generally speaking, the popularity of a martial spirit is almost comparable to that of a high-ranking government official, in a country, you can not know the name of the leader, but you will definitely know the stories of all the martial spirits in your country, this is the charm of martial spirits.

This also leads to the fact that once a martial spirit in his country falls, it will attract great attention, as well as the strong dissatisfaction of the masses, in their opinion, the fall of the martial spirit seems to be due to the improper command of the superiors, the fall of the martial spirit can almost mobilize the indignation of the entire nation, and their fall is too political.

But death is inevitable in war, and even a powerful life like a martial spirit will experience death, because human beings cannot understand each other because we are on different sides!

In order to survive and develop, one group of people has to kill and plunder another group of people. The wisdom of human beings has cast the whistling eagles, the mounts of steel, the giant beasts that dominate the ocean, and also made the martial spirits appear in this world, and the human spirit has written their brilliant achievements and epic struggles, and countless martial spirits have begun a years-long battle for their own beliefs and for their own country, which is a mythical era!

And the time between the two wars is not called a period of peace, but a period of preparation for war! As long as humanity exists, as long as the resources distributed are not balanced, true peace will never come!

Headquarters of the Navy.

The officers in the command room had serious expressions, and the shock of losing the Hood and the Prince of Wales was mixed with the fear of knowing that the German battleship was ready to attack the transport, but as the news spread, the fear of the German ship was replaced by unwavering anger.

At this time, a phone rang, breaking the noise and curses in the command room, it was Prime Minister Churchill!

Churchill, who received the Hood and the Prince of Wales, was furious, just a few months ago, he had promised the people that the food ration would not be interrupted, but now the situation was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Churchill.

Once Bismarck's behemoth was allowed to enter the Atlantic, it was undoubtedly worse for Britain at that time, and he commanded with strong anger: "I am Churchill, order John. Tovey mobilized everything he could muster, and I have only one request, to sink the Bismarck at all costs! ”

"Understood, Prime Minister!" An officer who answered the phone hurriedly replied, through the phone can hear the prime minister's gloomy voice, it seems that he is quite angry, the officer did not have time to think about it, and quickly told the news to the commander of the home fleet, John, who was still on the King George V. Tovey.

When John. Tovey's receipt of the order meant that he could now mobilize any troops he wanted to launch a strike on the Bismarck. One of Tovey's tactical dilemmas was that the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen were likely to have entered the Atlantic.

The British did not know their specific location and route, which meant that the German ships had disappeared from the eyes of the British fleet, and Bismarck was waiting for the vast Atlantic, and it was very difficult to find two steel warships in the vast ocean.

John. Tovey looked at the charts in front of him and began to plan, and after a while, he stared at the lieutenant with bloodshot eyes and recorded his orders.

A direct and sharp order was given to all ships in the Atlantic that could take part in the battle. Tovey broadcast the order over the air.

Except for John. The battleships HMS George V, HMS Victory, and HMS Counterattack, as well as four cruisers and ten destroyers, led by Tovey, were in close pursuit.

He also ordered the battleship Ramey, the aircraft carrier Avenger, the heavy cruiser London, and the light cruiser Edinburgh, which were on escort duty in the Atlantic, to break away from the convoy at the same time, and rush towards the Danish Strait from all sides, and quickly encircle Bismarck!

Inform the Cruiser Sheffield, the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, and the battlecruiser Prestige in Gibraltar that Unit H is heading north quickly!

The battleship Rodney, which was originally going to sail to Boston for reconstruction, heard the news and got involved!

John. Tovey can be said to have mobilized all the forces he could in order to sink the Bismarck, and laid a net in the Atlantic!

The aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal in Gibraltar got the news and began to reload the torpedoes.

The battleship Rodney, which was bound for rebuilding in Boston, heard the news and slowly raised her sixteen-inch guns towards Europe, and the radio was full of the news, sinking Bismarck! Sink Bismarck! Sink Bismarck!

This is a huge fleet, a fleet that represents the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets!

They intend to use their strength to tell these arrogant Germans that the majesty of the British Empire cannot be provoked!
