The current formation of the Allied fleet has been chaotic, almost half of the warships are fighting on their own, and the remaining half of the warships are desperately covering the half of the war. The wounded warship was ordered to break away from the fleet, and the fire and burning were even more hopeless and struggling on the sea.

The fire and sinking of the escort aircraft carrier Carlaire undoubtedly caused incalculable losses to the Allied fleet, not only from the loss of air defense carrier-based aircraft, but also from the blow to the morale of the Allied navy.

"The captain of the Galaire has already ordered the ship to be abandoned, but fortunately there are not many carrier-based aircraft left on board, and there are only nine left when they are hit. The adjutant was a little glad to report to his commander the news of the sinking of the American escort aircraft carrier Galile: "The cruiser Liverpool is trying to find a way to come, but in front of him is the battleship Ramirez, which is being attacked, and it may take a little longer." ”

"There's no time!Anson ...... What we lack now is probably time!" Dudley Pound watched anxiously as his fleet was attacked by German planes, and he finally knew why Churchill, a naval minister, had suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of the English Channel. The pattern of naval warfare had changed by that time, and it was ridiculous that he still clinged to the glorious tradition of a bunch of bullshit.

Long-range carrier-based aircraft can easily shred apart sturdy-looking battleships beyond line of sight, and those slender planes can carry bombs that make all large ships at sea desperate - human society will develop, and so will weapons. Carrier-based aircraft are getting heavier and the engines are getting more powerful, and the performance of these aircraft is obviously getting better and better.

On the other hand, bombs will become more and more sophisticated due to the progress of chemistry and other sciences, and the bombs and torpedoes that are dropped will produce even more amazing destructive power.

But what about the seemingly powerful ships, and no amount of armor can change the fact that the ships need to float on the water. Therefore, it is difficult for the thickness of the steel plate to change dramatically over time - the defensive power of the battleship has almost come to an end, but the offensive power of the weapon is far from ......

Therefore, the future naval warfare has quietly changed the model, the era of large ships and huge guns will eventually end, and the era of carrier-based aircraft carriers will begin. It is a pity that the Germans and Americans are ahead of the world in this regard, but Britain is not visible in the first echelon.

One hundred years of glory, a hundred years of undefeated myths, brought the British Royal Navy supreme glory and strong faith, precipitation and accumulated experience made this navy well-trained and amazing in combat;

"Our glory is gone...... Dudley Pound stood by the porthole, sighed quietly, then changed his expression, shook his head and said to himself firmly: "No! It's not that our navy has lost its former glory, but that I myself have lost the fearless Nelson spirit!"

He felt that it was his cowardice that had led to the current situation, and in order to save the current decline, he had to pick himself up, give full play to Nelson's fighting spirit, and use courage and strong faith to win a great victory for the British Royal Navy.

"God, please bless me! Please bless the British Empire! If we can win this war in the end, then I, Dudley Pound, will definitely insist on developing naval aviation and not make stupid mistakes again!" Unconsciously, Dudley Pound prayed in a pessimistic mood, hoping to seize any hope of victory, even that of the gods.

Then he looked at the staff officer behind him and said the order behind him: "Let the fleet turn again! Then go at full speed! Target German High Seas Fleet, sail due east!"

"General, is the turning action we just taken in vain?" the staff officer looked at his general with some confusion: "The fleet is very easy to make trouble in this kind of repeated orders." ”

"I know, I know, Anson!" Dudley Pound also felt that his order was a little too inconsistent, but he had just resolved his contradictory thoughts, and of course he had to give an inconsistent order: "But in this case, we must rely on the battleship to find our rhythm a little." ”

The staff officer did not turn back to convey the order, but continued to persuade: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, it is my duty to remind you that you are risking your entire fleet...... Germany also had a battleship like the Villain, and relying on the Ramirez, it really wasn't necessarily possible to defeat that German battleship. The Ramirez was built in 1917, and the German battleship was at least 15 years younger. ”

"I know, but we still have the heavy cruisers, and the Queen Elizabeth, and if we can disrupt the Germans, the Villains and the Nelson, we will have a chance to do a miracle!" Dudley Pound looked at his men and said firmly, "We should not hesitate any longer, it will make us forget the Nelson spirit...... Fight! We have to fight! That's everything we are, isn't it?"

"General, you have convinced me......" the staff officer saluted, and then said to Dudley Pound, "but our order may anger the Americans, but I think we should try as much as we can, at least because we should make the Germans suffer a little!"

"Send a signal to all the submarines in the vicinity, and besides, our real reinforcements may be coming soon!" Dudley Pound was of course prepared, if he really only relied on two fleet carriers, he, the old fox, would not expose his fleet to the threat of the German High Seas Fleet.

"Is this British commander crazy?" The captain of the USS Franklin aircraft carrier looked at the order in front of him, sneered and threw the telegram under his feet: "He has given the order to change course four times! Does he think he is playing with a wheelbarrow? Push in whichever direction he wants?"

"He's messed up the fleet himself, and now he's going to drag us to the death?" another American officer shouted angrily with his hands behind his back, "We've lost almost 100 fighters, and he's still thinking about whether we should charge or flee?

The American captain shook his head, and then said sarcastically: "Oh God! Our generals should have known long ago that Britain had no better military commander than the United States since Washington defeated the British! ”

"So, captain, are we going to carry out the orders of the British?" asked the officer, who was already angry.

"Keep the course! To hell with the orders of the British!" the American captain waved his hand: "Send a telegram to the British, saying that because of the serious loss of aircraft, we will keep the original route and give their fleet to the queen!"

So the whole fleet immediately became a mess, and the American ships maintained their original course and almost broke up the British fleet, and the British fleet was interfered with by the American Navy, and the ships that had finally completed the turn did not have much formation to speak of.

What's more, when the turn was completed, the Allied fleet was still full of German attack aircraft of the 4th batch. The German planes showed no mercy, and took advantage of the confusion of the Allies to sink a destroyer and two cruisers. The Ark Royal was also hit for the first time during the turn, though there was little material damage.

"What are they thinking about these American bastards! Are they in league with the Germans? Hell!" the staff officer scolded excitedly when he got the American fleet to keep its original northbound course. Of course, he knew what kind of disaster the Americans had brought to the entire fleet by doing so, and the losses of the British ships had skyrocketed, and the direct cause was the decision of the Americans.

"Don't get so excited...... Let's shoot some, at least they didn't shoot at us. Dudley Pound sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let the fleet recover as much as possible, cover each other and don't retreat! Our reinforcements will arrive soon, and victory will still belong to our British Navy after all!"

While he was saying this, two German Stukas rushed down the clouds one after the other, aimed their torpedoes at the side of a British Navy cruiser, adjusted their positions, and then, at a very close distance, dropped two torpedoes in the sea. Then the two planes pulled up and went away from the battle.

Soon the torpedo hit its own target, and one of the British cruisers was heavily damaged. The speed of the battleship slowed down all of a sudden, and the huge explosion even ripped open part of its deck, and the sea water poured directly into the large hole in the side side, flooding one cabin after another.

"General, the 5th group of German attack planes has arrived!" As soon as he got the news, the staff officer handed over the battle report to Dudley Pound. Apparently the Germans came faster, and more and more deadly!

However, the second officer then ran into the bridge command room and shouted, "The radar on the other side of the fleet has responded! It's our reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!"

The second correction is in the works, please be patient, it is estimated that it will be released around 0:00......
