Chapter 871: No Choice 1

Does the Bavarian royal family have admirals? I haven't heard of it, but the Bavarian Naval Design Bureau is quite NB, whether it is the Scharnhorst-class battleship that drew the queen in the Indian Ocean or the Bavaria-class battleship that is now beating itself, it seems that it comes from this design bureau. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But someone who understands the navy? Seem? There really is one!

Battle of Dadonggou! A German armored cruiser that accidentally broke in! And that shocking double kill in an extremely unfavorable situation!

"Ruprecht! On the other side is Ruprecht! Betty exclaimed. caused the side eyes and surprise of the officers next to him.

"The Bavarian Crown Prince? The heir to the throne of the Jacobite faction of the British Empire? An officer said. And this sentence exposes some secrets about this officer, for example, that he is a Jacobite figure. (For specific information, you can take a look at Baidu.) )

"Isn't he an army commander? His legion was still on the Eastern Front, how could he suddenly run to the North Sea? A somewhat surprised voice came out. As the first engagement of a pure steam warship, the Battle of Dadonggou commanded by the prince still left a strong mark in the history of the world's navies. How many battles are there in the world? Although it cannot be compared with the later wars in terms of scale and influence, it is still inevitable to become a model for naval research in various countries, and there is no way, the sample data is too small .......

"At first he beat the Russians, and then a few months ago he and his corps reappeared on the Western Front, and then took out the forces of the two armies of the French. Now he has gone to sea with his legions again. ”

"Could it be that the German High Seas Fleet is also divided into the Prussian fleet and the Bavarian fleet?"

"Who knows, the army is divided like this, the air force is like this, and the navy may not be able to say it."

"It is said that all the capital ships of the German High Seas Fleet were designed by the Bavarians, and it is not too much to say that Bavaria contributed half of the High Seas Fleet." Several officers on the side whispered.

"This prince may not have graduated from a naval school, but he possessed the most important qualities of a naval officer - a sharp mind, quick reflexes, and excellent strategic sense, and the process of naval warfare was wonderful, but above all, he knew how to deal with the rest, war and politics were inseparable, and the whole process of his life could be called perfect. If one day we run into such an adversary, I hope you will take it seriously! At this point, Betty recalled what a teacher had said about the prince when he was in military school.

"I really didn't expect that I would actually fight this prince in such a situation." Betty muttered to herself, "And we seem to have fallen for the calculations of our opponents, whose fleet is far stronger than we expected, and we are not facing the Hipper fleet, but a main German fleet that is much stronger than him." Send a telegram to Commander Jericho now, we need more support! And explain to him the current situation. ”

A few minutes later, Jericho read the telegram from Betty, and he was also a little wilted. "It's Bavaria? A whole 6 Bavarians? God, if I were Betty, then I would immediately choose to run. Jericho said after taking a sip of his coffee.

"However, now that they have fought each other, it is not easy for Betty to leave, not to mention that 2 super dreadnoughts have been lost, if this war ends like this, the prestige of the Royal Navy will probably fall to a low point, and the morale of the officers and men of the fleet will also suffer a heavy blow." Vice Admiral Duff of the 3rd Battleship Detachment said. (Lieutenant General Duff and Jericho are both on the Iron Duke.) )

"But we really can't catch up now, the other side is playing too fast, and we are walking too slowly!" Jericho glanced at his old partner and said helplessly.

"Well, send a telegram to Rear Admiral Hood asking him to speed up, and remind him to be aware that the other side is big guys with 15-inch guns, which are great killers for battle cruisers." Jericho said. At this time they already knew where the two sides were fighting, and even in the best case, the British fleet went north, he went south, and it would take the British about three hours to enter the battlefield! Three hours? Jericho wanted to know what was left of Betty's hands by then!

"Am I going to push Hood's Third Battlecruiser Detachment into the fire pit?" After issuing the order, Jericho said to Lieutenant General Duff.

"Perhaps, but your choice right now is undoubtedly the best. We can't die without help. Lieutenant General Duff said. If he hadn't sent a telegram to Major General Hood, then when he was held accountable afterwards, a hat that would not have been saved would have been put on Jericho's head. And if after this telegram is sent, whether Major General Hood can arrive or not, whether he will be beaten into a dog if he arrives, it doesn't have much to do with Jericho, the allies are in trouble, I try my best to save them, but I still can't beat the opponent, it will be force majeure. You can blame Major General Hood for not playing well, you can say that the opponent is too strong, but you can't say that Jericho is not dedicated. That's politics!

"Sometimes it's wisest to leave behind what you can't save, and you can't do it even if you know it's right. You know, I've never felt so powerless as I do now, with a forest of steel ships behind me, but not functioning. Jericho pointed to the majestic fleet in the distance and said, at this time, this large fleet was lined up in 5 columns under the cover of hundreds of cruisers and destroyers to go south, that kind of formation and majesty, even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the great pressure, but it is useless for the situation, they are too slow!

"Betty still wants to turn the tables at this time? He's like a gambler on the verge of losing all his money now! Think of anything as a lifesaver! As everyone knows, even if his fleet and Vice Admiral Jeram's fleet converge, they will not be able to defeat their opponents! ”

After reading a few more telegrams, Jericho had a more accurate picture of the whole situation. Betty also sent a telegram to everyone he could contact, himself, Jeram, Hood, and even Harwich, he asked all the fleets to move closer to him and attack at all costs, judging from the telegram, Betty was not thinking about how to evacuate, but how to fight, even if there was a wall in front of him, he wanted to try it with his head!

If it were Betty himself, Jericho wouldn't care what you would be like, but right now, Betty is basically taking the most elite battlecruiser formation of the British Empire and the strongest battleship formation of the opponent to the death! The entire British Royal Navy may even be in trouble because of his recklessness!
