After the "Sovereign" and "Revenge" battleships were all wiped out, the remaining Wyoming-class battleships were also bombed by the German Do 217 and He-177 heavy bombers under the ferocious bombardment of the German Do 217 and He-177 heavy bombs, and were bombed into slag and sank into the sea, and the whole army was wiped out.

"Oh no! Commander Cunningham! If we continue to fight like this, our aircraft carrier fleet will suffer heavy losses, and now we have sunk more than 15 ships of different types by German ships! ”

Sir Charles Moulton Forbes, who had been by Cunningham's side all along, shouted anxiously about the worsening war situation.

Beside him, Viscount Alain Francis Brooke, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Henry Maitland Wilson, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the Mediterranean, and John Colonin Tovey, Commander of the Home Fleet and Commander of the Headland Naval Station, also stared worriedly at Andrew Brown Cunningham, First Sea Lord.

Even the other one is named Cunningham, but they are not related by blood, in May 1946, John Henry Dekkers Cunningham, who succeeded Andrew Brown Cunningham as First Sea Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Navy, also stared intently at Andrew Brown Cunningham, the First Sea Lord, waiting for the other party's next words and how to deal with it.

"After a while, our aircraft carrier fleet also sank a lot of German ships and carrier-based aircraft; Our aircraft carrier fleet has more ships than the other side, and this is the best moment for us to consume German ships, and I don't believe that the German aircraft carrier fleet will endlessly, constantly manufactured, and it is simply impossible with their national strength and natural resource capabilities! ”

But in response to the nervous and boastful British generals, Cunningham said solemnly, seriously and resolutely.

"But now that Hitler is so powerful, he doesn't know what method he used, secretly built so many aircraft carrier fleets, and was able to buy and sell these high-level weapons and equipment to the Japanese, so I think it would be better for us to preserve our strength."

"Because we want to build the same number of aircraft carrier fleets, we can't do it in a short period of time!"

But as soon as the words fell, Sir Charles Moulton Forbes immediately retorted disagreeably.

"I don't care what method Hitler used to create so many aircraft carrier fleets, but now I want him to know that our British Empire's aircraft carrier fleet is not a coward, not a character to be bullied!"

"So today I insist that we must consume the German aircraft carrier fleet to the greatest extent possible!"

Andrew Brown Cunningham, in the face of opposing opinions, was even more determined to fight to the end, at least sinking 10 more German aircraft carriers, or submarines before he was willing to leave.

"You've changed! Cunningham, unlike the cautious Cunningham before, I still like the cautious Cunningham, and now you are too impulsive! ”

"We now very much need a calm commander to direct us in battle, and we must not be able to fight against the Germans when they are in an advantageous position, our losses in the past few days are a lesson!"

The Chief of the General Staff, Viscount Alain Francis Brooke, also immediately interjected against it.

"You have changed, you have become weak! When did our fleet of the British Empire become so afraid of Germany? We are the maritime hegemon of the Mediterranean, and even the entire Atlantic, but now we have been beaten by our enemy, the German Navy, and we have no fighting spirit and fighting spirit? ”

"Are you doing something worthy of the position you are in now? Don't you forget what kind of danger will our homeland face if our aircraft carrier fleet is defeated by the Germans? ”

"Once we are defeated, we will face the battle of the German army landing on our homeland, and in the face of such a huge crisis, will you continue to be cowardly?"

But the more he listened to the other party's rebuttal, the more displeased Cunningham sneered at each other.

So Andrew Brown Cunningham and the Chief of the General Staff, Viscount Alain Francis Brooke, and Sir Charles Morton Forbes, immediately quarreled and shouted.

But while the quarrel was in full swing, the German bomber group was bombing more intensely, and a small number of German bombers and submarines had already quietly come to the sky over the aircraft carrier where they were and the bottom of the sea when they were distracted.

Preparing to continue the surprise attack, but the German bomber group that had already flown over them was discovered by the British aircraft carrier radar before the bombing, and the captain also gave the command of the anti-aircraft operation to carry out anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft artillery counterattacks.
