"Now the public and the members of parliament have a delusion about the navy, believing that the battleship has both strong attack and defensive power, in fact, the battle of the navy's capital ship is more like two eggs with a hammer smashing each other, a little less lucky, or some accident, a capital ship worth millions of pounds will be lost, and the battle is very dangerous for both sides. "That evening, at the British Prime Minister's residence, Churchill greeted Herbert Murphy opposite.www.biquge.info Henry. Prime Minister Asquith made his point.

"It's not convincing." Prime Minister Asquith said in a tone of frustration: "Then can you answer me a question, why the broken eggs are all the warships of our British Empire, and the Germans are the same when they go back!" Is it true that we don't know anything? Look at the newspapers in Germany! Take a look at the dates above, and look at these ships that are the same as new! This is simply an insult to the Royal Navy! ”

"I am not directed against you, Churchill, but against all of you, including myself, who are sinners of the British Empire! Centuries of glory and splendor of the British Empire and the Royal Navy have been lost in our hands! The fortunes of the empire are in crisis! I asked you to come this time, not to listen to your quibbles, but to want to know two questions, first, why the Royal Navy lost. Second, what should we do in the future. Asquith's words contained anger.

"First, I admit that Admiral Betty did make a mistake in the campaign, because of the problem of intelligence, we misjudged the size and configuration of the German fleet, and the number and combat strength of the opposing fleet far exceeded our previous estimates. And this responsibility should not be borne by the Navy alone. As for General Moore, General Jerahm, and General Hood, they acted very correctly and there was nothing worthy of responsibility. ”

"Second, this is a battle planned by the Germans for a long time, our 4 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were transferred to the Indian Ocean to deal with the Suxiong fleet, resulting in the double lack of our fast warships and combat effectiveness, which is an inevitable thing, the advantage of the large fleet over the opponent is not great, but there is a disadvantage in the fast battleships, and there is no way to be overstretched." Jericho said.

"Finally, I want to say that in this case, even if you change to someone else, you won't do better in this situation." Jericho's meaning is very clear, the intelligence is wrong, and the navy cannot be blamed entirely, after all, the British intelligence officers in Germany are not under the control of the navy, and the Bavaria is reported back as a battle cruiser, which is already half the rhythm of losing and losing. Secondly, strategically, the departure of the queen has indeed greatly reduced the strength of the British fast fleet, which is an objective fact and there is no way to do it. As for the last point, whether you are happy or not, the Grand Fleet is like this now, and you may not be able to get any better if you are replaced by someone else. Your Excellency, please take care of it yourself...... Polite, courteous, and scoundrel enough!

"This defeat is not just a loss on the battlefield, it is a failure of the system, we need time, step by step to find out the mistakes, and then change. As First Admiral, I agree with Admiral Jericho that there is no obvious subjective error on the part of Vice Admiral Betty, except for Vice Admiral Betty's miscommand. Churchill said earnestly.

"Well, I'll wait to say these things to the members of the council to see if they agree with you, but as for the war damage, is it true? The British Imperial Navy lost 6 capital ships in World War I? As well as auxiliary warships with a total tonnage of tens of thousands of tons. Asquith is still a little hard to believe the stats.

"That's right, we suffered a lot of losses in this battle. And it seems that there are also some problems with the blockade of the North Sea, it is said that there are German battleships, some of our warships have lost contact, and possibly some have already suffered miserably. Churchill said. Auxiliary warships such as light cruisers were not as dazzling as the capital ships, and the battleships after the N rank of the Navy as auxiliary cruisers were even more unwatched, and now the Hipper's fleet has returned, and more than a dozen warships of various types that were killed on the blockade line in the North Sea have sunk into the rolling waves of the North Sea, and even Britain has not even figured out the specific losses until now.

This can't all be blamed on the Dusk style of the Royal Navy, in fact, most of the auxiliary cruisers have been working at sea for a long time, and it is normal to not be able to find them for a while and a half, and of course, there is also the question that when everyone is worried about the loss of the Grand Fleet, they are all thinking about how to face the German High Seas Fleet that strikes again, who cares about the loss of these scraps and consumables? In the past, the North Sea blockade line was often sunk by submarines or something, maybe this matter would not be brought to Jericho's attention, and now it is normal for Churchill to not figure out the specific situation.......

"After you came up with a plan for these things, you were talking to me, okay, you definitely didn't come here tonight just for this matter, tell me, what do you want? Budget? Resource? Or manpower? To be honest, the current British Empire is embarrassed. Asquith waved his hand and just knocked them down, there was no need to say more, if the other people in the senior management thought that the navy was too big a problem this time, it would be okay to remove Churchill and Fisher, by the way, and that Betty, that's all for later, and there is no need to be a villain now.

"We must now rely on the strength of our allies, and I wonder very much now how the negotiations between the Empire and the Japanese are going. If the Japanese Navy could provide capital ships, our situation in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean would be much better. Churchill said.

"Well, the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean." Asquith muttered. "Wait! The Su-Schung fleet in the Indian Ocean has not yet been dealt with? "The Prime Minister suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very important issue!" The shipping situation in the Indian Ocean has been much better lately, but those two battleships have not been destroyed yet?! Asquith's face showed a look of disbelief.

If the naval battle was a boxing match that counted points, the Suxiong fleet would naturally have won the Indian Ocean Cup boxing championship, judging from the damage effect and hits, Thomas obviously paid a heavier price, but this is a war, not a competitive sport! After Thomas's two queens were wounded, they could return to India for repairs and maintenance.
