The view of Scarpa Bay was originally beautiful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, after the stationing of a large number of Royal Navy warships, the tranquility has been completely disturbed.

Today's Scapa Bay is even more confused by an atmosphere of mourning.

The sneak attack of German submarines last night caused great damage to the Royal Navy. There were five battleships hit. Among them, there are many cutting-edge capital ships such as the battleship "War-weary" and the battleship "Warrior". The other battleships 'Conqueror', 'Giant' and 'Neptune' were also the main battleships of the Royal Navy, which suffered heavy losses. But just one submarine of the German Navy cost them such a big loss. This is undoubtedly difficult for the Royal Navy to accept.

"Your Excellency, the damage assessment report is out." The adjutant walked into John? Admiral Jericho's office, reported to him.

At this time, the office was filled with smoke, as if there was a fire. John? Admiral Jericho didn't sleep all night last night. How could he have been able to sleep when he had been attacked so badly?

John? Admiral Jericho sent the report and read it carefully.

Of the five battleships that were hit by German naval submarines last night, the battleships 'War Weathiness' and 'Warrior' were the most severely damaged. These two battleships, because of their large size, became the key targets of the U-037 submarine. Two torpedoes, which hit the two battleships, respectively. After the underwater armor was torn apart, it led to serious flooding of the two battleships. Despite the efforts of the damage management personnel, they were still unable to save the two battleships. Now, the two battleships have sunk in the harbor. Most of the hull has sunk into the water. Although, with the technical strength of Britain, it is not too much of a problem to want to salvage these two battleships and then repair them. However, this is obviously time-consuming. And what they lack most now is time.

The battleship 'Conqueror', although it was hit by two torpedoes at the same time. However, the damage was not serious. They reacted in a timely manner and closed the watertight compartment. However, because of the amount of seawater pouring into the hull, the hull still tilted to a certain extent. The rest of the repair work was also difficult and time-consuming.

The battleships "Giant" and "Neptune" were also seriously damaged after being hit by torpedoes because of their weaker armor. It's just that it didn't sink directly. If you want to repair these two battleships, it will also take a lot of time.

"Damn! Five battleships were attacked, two sank outright, and the remaining three could not participate in the battle for a short time. How are we going to fight this battle? "John? Admiral Jericho had a headache.

Originally, the battleships of the Royal Navy occupied a certain numerical advantage compared with the battleships of the German Navy. However, if these five battleships were excluded, it would make even the numerical superiority of the Royal Navy no longer exist.

"General, how are we going to report to London now?" David? Lieutenant General Betty also looked very tired because of staying up late.

John? Admiral Jericho thought for a moment, then said, "Report it truthfully!" After all, it is impossible to hide such a big thing. ”

David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded. There is no doubt that the sneak attack of German submarines last night once again dealt a heavy blow to the Royal Navy. Moreover, the face of the Royal Navy has also been greatly hit. It also makes the Royal Navy have little chance of winning in future wars. He could guess how angry Churchill, the Secretary of the Admiralty, would be when he heard the news. However, there is no way around it, who made Scarpa Bay's underwater defense almost equal to zero? This allowed the German submarine to easily dive in, fire a torpedo, and then calmly leave. From beginning to end, the British Navy did not even see the face of the German submarine. This is undoubtedly a shame for them.

"General, we have so many battleships heavily damaged this time. I'm afraid the next battle will not be easy to fight! "David? Lieutenant General Betty said. Obviously, he has even less confidence in the future decisive battle at sea.

"I know! But do we have any other options? The Germans succeeded in sending submarines to attack us, which further fueled their arrogance. I think soon the Germans will provoke a decisive battle! "John? Admiral Jericho sighed. If he could, he would certainly like to be able to drag on the decisive battle for another year or two. In that case, the Royal Navy will be able to regain its strength. Even in the face of the powerful German Navy, it is not without a chance of victory, and it will definitely not be as embarrassed as it is now. But, John? Admiral Jericho could feel that the decisive battle seemed to be about to begin.

"It's a big deal, we'll hide in the military harbor and just don't fight." David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

"Is this possible?" John? Admiral Jericho shook his head.

David? Lieutenant General Betty was also silent for a moment. Of course, he knew that it was impossible. Even if they hid in the military port, the Germans would not let them go. Although, the military port has complete coastal fortifications. But those coastal cities in Britain would inevitably become the targets of the German navy. Even the capital was in danger of being attacked by the German Navy. When the time comes, if they don't fight, is that still possible?

No matter how bad it was, as long as the German Navy destroyed the British coastal shipyards, then their battleships under construction could no longer be built. The Royal Navy will never have a chance to defeat the German Navy.

Moreover, Britain is still under German blockade. Overseas trade routes have been completely cut off. Next, this made all kinds of materials in Britain gradually began to be scarce. I'm afraid it won't be long before British society collapses. In that case, how could they go to war with Germany!

"No matter what, our decisive battle with the Germans will continue. Unless the government decides to admit defeat and surrender. Otherwise, we will have to do everything we can to win for the British Empire. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded in agreement. Indeed, there is no way back for them.
