Chapter 898: Dispatch

The British fleet came, the British fleet was ready, then here was the beginning of large-scale transports, under the cover of the main forces of the Entente Mediterranean Fleet, groups of Allied transports began to deliver troops and supplies to Algiers. And the Allied fleet was like a sheepdog, pulling out a long cordon with the cooperation of auxiliary warships. At the outermost end is an outer alert fleet of submarines and destroyers, whose mission is to detect each other and send information back. If the scale is small, it will be handled by the fast fleet commanded by Betty in the middle level. If it's bigger, then it's time for Thomas to come in. It is relatively conservative, but absolutely practical, and it is not easy to move in the opponent's waters, and it avoids the threat of minefields and submarines as much as possible.

"The British are clearly prepared to wait for us to fight them." After a period of investigation, Lin Yongsheng found that the British approach was more than successful and not enterprising, so he almost said that you take one side and I will take the other, let's live together peacefully! But in fact, the Allied fleet had to attack Thomas, and the Allied navy could make peace with each other, but the army could not withstand a large-scale attack by French soldiers. So, for the sake of the overall strategy, the Allied fleet must attack, and as soon as possible!

During this period, the Allied fleet also made the most advanced preparations, and this military operation, codenamed Operation Peak, began early, and one of the most important tasks was the camouflage of the Julius Caesar and Suleiman Sultan I. On the one hand, let Julius Caesar get closer to the foreign trade fast battleship, and make Suleiman Sultan I more like Julius Caesar! The former was to blend in with the fast fleet and serve as the flagship of Count Spee. The latter will be incorporated into the main fleet first. And in the decisive battle, in the action with the fast fleet, in the main decisive battle. Until the fast fleet maneuvers, the main fleet under Tycho's command will temporarily keep its distance from the opposing side, and will only contain it from a distance, rather than really die. It's like Hipper's 4 Caesars pinning down 3 queens. After the advance guard fleet successfully maneuvered, Tycho's main fleet would enter within 15KM and fight the opponent. Trying to avoid hard fighting until you have an advantage is the core idea of the Allies.

August 7, 1916. The vast Allied Mediterranean Fleet has finally departed, and after months of coordination and training, it will meet Britain and France today. 4 a.m. There was a fast fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Spee, who sailed out of the port, who were to serve as the vanguard of the fleet. However, although Lieutenant General Spee was the supreme commander, even he felt that the symbolism of this commander was greater than the reality. After all, this plan was formulated by Lin Yongsheng, and Lin Yongsheng happened to be on his flagship. In this plan, the biggest variable is in the fast fleet, which can gain an advantage in avant-garde warfare. When to maneuver in a decisive battle. No one knows better than Lin Yongsheng. So Lin Yongsheng decisively joined the fast fleet.

"It's still comfortable on my own battleship, although Italian food is delicious, but I'm obviously a little tired of eating too much, and it's still good to eat hometown food." When Lieutenant General Yu Spei had breakfast together, Lin Yongsheng couldn't help but sigh. It feels like home to him, almost the same as in Huaxia. Can it be different. Considering that it was almost difficult for the Allies to make this battleship combat effective in a short period of time, in addition to Lin Yongsheng, there were nearly 2,000 people who came with the ship, and even the cooks followed. To tell the truth, except for the Turkish flag hanging on it. (That's right, replaced Suleiman Sultan I.) So only the Turkish flag can be hung. This is a Chinese warship! Lin Yongsheng dreamed a lot that he would participate in the First World War in such a daze, and he didn't expect that not long after he came, he encountered a big sea PK in scale second only to the Battle of Jutland.

Lin Yongsheng feels good, but Vice Admiral Spee doesn't feel good, although it is theoretically his own battleship, but there are not many Germans on it at all! The command is basically hollowed out, which is obviously a little uncomfortable for Lieutenant General Spee, who likes to master everything, but uncomfortable is uncomfortable, and winning is the king! After having a hearty breakfast with Lin Yongsheng, the two came to the control tower and began to plan for the next battle.

The avant-garde fleet of Count Spee's fleet did not intend to avoid the reconnaissance of the other side at all, and the four battleships swaggered towards the Allied target waters. Soon, the British light cruisers on the periphery spotted the German fleet and soon sent the information to Thomas and Betty via radio. Thomas's fleet began to set sail, and Betty, who had been on alert, met him, and the other side was 4 fast battleships, which should be the 4 purchased warships of Germany and Turkey.

"Very good, both sides are the same battleship, I finally don't have to command those sad kittens anymore." Betty muttered to herself as she looked at the intel. Although he was defeated repeatedly, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he did not think it was his own mistake, in the battle of Helgoland Bay, the performance of British battleships was weaker than that of the opponent, and the overall strength was also weaker than that of the opponent, so it was understandable that he was defeated. As for the Battle of Jutland, Betty thought that he was even more fine, it was a mistake in the intelligence provided by the intelligence services, and he had sunk 2 German capital ships, otherwise, the entire British Imperial fleet would have been shaved off. Therefore, Betty is still very confident in her command level and combat art.

"Betty is not fit to be the commander of the Grand Fleet, and she is brave and unscrupulous, and she does not dare to take mistakes." Just when Betty was fighting for herself, Lin Yongsheng and Lieutenant General Spee were also chatting about Betty, and Lin Yongsheng didn't have a good impression of Betty. And historically, Betty is really not a good person, for example, in the historical Battle of Dogger Sandbank. Betty's younger brother, Seymour (the flag bearer) did make a mistake when he signaled Major General Moore in the back, which made Moore think that he had sunk the Blücher in the back. Then after the battle, under the protection of Betty, his younger brother was gone, but Rear Admiral Moore left the fast fleet.

At the Battle of Jutland, the situation arose again, because of the mistakes of Betty and Seymour, Thomas's fleet collided directly with the high seas fleet, and almost hung up. As a result, after the end of the war, this guy was still fine, Thomas was scolded a few times, but Thomas was lucky, Major General Moore was the last to be beaten to defend the island! As a result, after someone questioned the signal problem of the Jutland avant-garde wartime, Betty began to carry it hard and had a big war of words with Thomas.

If the story ends here, Betty also has a good reputation for protecting his subordinates, but after the last Batie, Betty decisively took out Seymour to top the cylinder, saying that the mistakes in previous naval battles were his problem, but the little brother finally committed suicide by jumping into the sea directly under too much pressure, but Betty was fine. This character is really sad enough. Although Lin Yongsheng didn't know about these things, through the communication with Betty, Lin Yongsheng didn't have a good impression of Betty.
