The British did not offend the down-and-out aristocratic lady, but the whole of the European continent.

Because of the geographical location, the British living alone on the islands have never regarded themselves as Europeans, and their attitude towards Europeans has always felt like a group of country mud legs with dung forks. The Europeans are also very unhappy, a group of pretentious, treacherous and treacherous island natives are holding-stirring sticks every day to make wind and rain on the European continent, and they don't have a lot of pressure in their hearts?

Lisa Gratini was undoubtedly deeply influenced by this view and did not want to have too much contact with the British.

But Cato understood the seriousness of the problem: "Let me contact Acheson Bell. ”

Acheson Bell is leading a group of admirals to study strategy, and his good brother Abel Atwood, who has shared the spoils with Xu Zhonglin, is among them.

As an ugly man, Acheson spoke in a very good voice, giving people a feeling of warmth and jade: "News has come from the south, and the avant-garde has taken face from Tirpitz, but unfortunately we have suffered here, and her old man is not very happy." Let's talk about what to do next. ”

In the ugly man's view, the petty fights here are nothing more than to make Germany feel the pressure, and the real deterrent is the home fleet led by the avant-garde and the home fleet detachments in Shetland and the Faroe Islands in the north.

"What to do? The military department is a bunch of neurotics! I'm fed up these days, I don't understand why we're wasting time here? It would be better to go south and follow the avant-garde and Master Rodney to have a good fight with the Germans. ”

Acheson looked coldly at the grumbling Admiral, who was in his camp, and they belonged to the representatives of the 'hawks' and had always been more radical. It's just that this kind of brainless remark still made him frown a little: "If you want to go, I won't stop you, you can mention it to the avant-garde lord yourself." But if you stay, you have to work hard. ”

The Admiral was silent, and Acheson's prestige was not comparable to his.

Another admiral complained: "Ritchie is right, if you continue to spend so much time with the Germans, you will only make a mess of the Orkney Islands, this is our territory, and the French and Italians will not feel sorry." ”

Acheson glanced at the admiral disdainfully, "What do you know?" In an environment where the two countries fear each other, for a long time to come in the foreseeable future, this kind of small-scale friction between us will continue to increase, and this is the so-called fighting but not breaking. And the mode, scale, and bottom limit of this kind of war all need to be tested on the spot through this campaign. I have been informed by the Naval Academy that the entire battle will be recorded in detail, and that they will compile a textbook based on our battle report to be used as a textbook for the new course. In any case, we are already with France and Italy, and this experience of war in intercepting transport lines cannot be obtained by them and we do not. ”

The so-called big country means that what others have, whether it is useful or not, we must also have it. Do electromagnetic guns work? Are laser weapons adaptable to the battlefield? Will massive swarm bombing by UAVs become widespread? None of this matters, the important thing is that if you have it, I must have it!

It's not bad for money, but what if it's really useful?

Richie, who asked at first, was a little surprised: "Dartmouth actually takes our side so seriously?" ”

He was well aware of the importance of the events of the campaign being written into a textbook, which meant that he would be involved in a tactical innovation. Generations of admirals will learn about this pattern of warfare based on the experience he has gained today. What is it? Go down in history!

The three immortals of life: speech, meritorious service, and virtue are highly valued anywhere. For this opportunity to best reflect self-worth, the admirals who are doing are very important. Richie thinks that the admirals of the future will say: Look, this tactic we use is called the 'Richie tactic,' and it was pioneered by a great admiral in the past.

The blood is boiling!

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Acheson could only answer patiently: "In the past, the territory of Europe was relatively concentrated, but with the gradual expansion of human territory, the scope of the colony will become larger and larger, and the distance between it and the mainland will become farther and farther. This means that sea lines of communication will become long and fragile. This time we could not put diplomatic pressure on the United States to prevent them from transfusing blood to Germany. That's why Nelson and Lord Hood came up with this tactic. They've seen this tactic before, and it seems inconspicuous, but the damage caused to the homeland is quite huge, so you must pay attention to it, understand?! ”

There were more or less prototype ships here, and everyone could understand Acheson's words. The impact of the archetypal ship girl on the world is enormous, from art, culture, faith, medical treatment, to the war situation...... Every field is inseparable from the promotion of these prototype ships. Since it was Lord Nelson himself, everyone was shocked, and no one questioned it anymore.

At this time, Agamemnon spoke: "Admiral, the Italians and the French have contacted us. ”

Acheson was a little upset: "What? And support again? ”

"No, they're all reminding us that German submarines may have landed on the island, and there will be an attack tonight."

"Oh? These guys still have some ability, so they can't be underestimated! ”

Through reconnaissance, Acheson certainly knew that most of the German submarines had not been evacuated. In fact, they had already discovered the submarine as soon as it appeared last night, and made an early warning, and the encirclement net was also spread out in time, but today's harvest is also not big, and it is not difficult to judge the catty in it.

"Cato also judged that this tactic of night harassment would continue for a long time, and they wanted to join forces with us, advocating the abandonment of most of the ports on the Orkney Islands, and the concentration of all the admirals to ensure the safety of a few ports, so as to minimize our force being drawn and concentrate on intercepting the German lines of communication. They also put forward a request for the home fleet to assist us in reconnaissance and timely intelligence sharing......"

Before Agamemnon could finish speaking, the admiral named Richie interrupted her: "Nonsense! Wouldn't the abandonment of most of the ports make the Germans more arrogant, and make it easier for them to attack us by borrowing those abandoned ports? How dare they make such a request?! ”

Acheson thought about it for a moment: "Not really. There's some truth to what Cato little guy said. Now we're spreading out to make it easier to form squads and go around. But in fact, most of the ports here are civilian ports, and there is no infrastructure such as summoning halls and renovating halls, so they don't have much effect, but if they concentrate on manpower, they can really improve efficiency. Although intelligence sharing will reveal the location of our home fleet, since it is an ally, presumably there is no problem with military secrets at this level, ask Lord Nelson what he means in a moment, and then contact the admirals of France and Italy, and we will have a meeting to discuss. ”

Agamemnon tacitly understood the look in his admiral's eyes, and as soon as the admiral wanted to take command of the navies of the three countries, others would send him a pillow. This collaboration is going to be made possible no matter what.
