"Huh?"
"PSST …"
"Oh!"
The senior officers in the field were obviously shocked by the bold plan in the portfolio and unconsciously issued all kinds of words while covering their mouths.
"The United States has fourteen capital ships, most of which are stationed on their east coast and often go to sea for cruising and training. Even if the world knows that Americans are actively preparing for war, but several battleships sneak out of the military port for a few days, not many people will notice that Americans should choose a lonely route. They can cram a battleship detachment into Scarpa Bay before the Germans react!"
Betty’s fingers beat on the corner of the table and looked at the frightened fleet commanders Gherardini way
"According to the agreement, the Americans sent their best battleships to New York-class battleships, with a standard displacement of 27 tons, 45 times the diameter of 356 mm, and five main guns with a speed of about 21 knots. The standard displacement of Dahua-class battleships is 27 tons, 5 tons, 45 times the diameter of 356 mm, two main guns with a diameter of 45 times the diameter of 356 mm, and two main guns with a speed of about 21 knots. These four super-feared ships will further increase our advantage. When the Americans arrive in Ri, it should be when the big fleet decides to fight the North Sea
"Wait … Commander, the Americans have not officially declared war on the Allies!" Jellicoe supporter Lieutenant General Martin jerram, commander of the Second Battleship, jumped out first.
"Don’t worry about these diplomatic procedures. US President Wilson will read the war when the naval battle breaks out!"
"But commander, we don’t need to risk a long-range blockade to deal with Germany." "People and the sea are all possible …" Although Martin jerram is eloquent, those who are afraid of war and conservatism are still very obscure.
If the decisive battle wins, everyone is a hero, if the decisive battle loses, everyone is a sinner. Although the "remote blockade" is tepid, it will not make them experience tension, excitement, joy and sorrow.
"General Martin jerram, do you think the Royal Navy will not take the initiative to find the Orkney Islands and we will fight it out?"
Betty smiled as if Lieutenant General Martin jerram had said some ridiculous joke to make him forget the status of commander-in-chief of the big fleet, and laughed before him.
"West Lyme won’t let the Americans get involved in this war, so that the North Sea has been biased towards our balance of power, showing a one-sided situation. He will definitely launch a decisive battle at sea before the Americans declare war. General Martin jerram thinks that the Germans will attack our coastline in a big way like the Portsmouth naval battle or send a small team to raid the soil like the Dogel sandbar naval battle. Can we still treat Scarpa Bay with confidence? !”
Martin jerram, commander of the Second Battleship Team, shed cold sweat on his sideburns and flowed obliquely into vice admiral’s flustered heart.
"Since the decisive battle in the North Sea in 1917 is bound to make Selim take the initiative, it is better for the big fleet to take the initiative!" David Betty folded up and smiled, holding his desk and pulled him up. The Germans didn’t know that the Americans were going to declare war, and it was even more unclear that the London Naval Intelligence Department had cracked some of their codes. Although the armor-piercing projectile was a big trouble, the progress of fleet training, officers and soldiers training and logistics support was not satisfactory, but the Royal Navy still won the battle!

The second gun chapter gun bore (3)
"Forgive me for making up for it in the early hours of the morning yesterday. Before midnight, General Lampard informed all the captains of the fast fleet to go to the flagship barham for a meeting. Captain Cole, who was supposed to stay on duty, had to entrust me with the war-weariness until three o’clock in the morning. The captain returned to the war-weariness in a small transport boat and told me that the fast fleet was about to go to South Firth Bay.
The captain said that this was a routine transfer of the navy, but I didn’t believe the story of the Grand Fleet Command. Although not all the battleships and fast fleets of the Grand Fleet were in Jescapa Bay before the naval battle in Scarborough Gerakl Strait, just as the second battleship was stationed in Cromarty Port, the fast fleet occasionally stayed in Firth Bay in central Scotland. However, since the naval battle in Portsmouth, the battleship Ireland was destroyed by the first Mediterranean rescue fleet, the battleship Collingwood was chased by a light patrol fleet, and the battleship Huntington was ambushed by submarines in the Irish Sea, the Admiralty learned the lesson and tried its best to avoid the main ships together.
I don’t believe the story of the Grand Fleet Command, which links the tragic battle of Ska Gerakl Strait. A destroyer captain of Harriet’s fleet failed to participate in the magnificent naval battle that represented the highest achievement of mankind, but this did not prevent me from understanding the naval battle through General Lampard’s Ska Gerakl Gold.
I know that before the naval battle in Scarborough-Gerakl Strait, the two sides conducted several deception, anti-deception, anti-camouflage and anti-camouflage. With reference to the naval battle that brought the strategy to the extreme, I boldly speculated whether the sudden South Fast Fleet was the bait to attract German reconnaissance groups.
Cole school said that there is no reason to be afraid of a sneak attack by a German reconnaissance group with a mere patrol because it has 13 battle cruiser fast fleets!
I sneer at a word and let Cole School wake up. "
Major Ri Ji, the vice captain of the War-weary patrol, was interrupted as soon as he wrote here.
In summer, the high latitude days always light up a little earlier, and it’s only after five o’clock in the morning that the residents of the Orkney Islands are still asleep, but the anchorage of the Imperial J Λ ng Waskapa Bay is moving.
The main mast of the fast fleet is raised, and the auxiliary ship of the sea replenishment flagship team slowly leans against the fast fleet and is painted with gray Se which is said to have camouflage effect. battle cruiser hands over the water and oil hoses.
Sailors of auxiliary warships wear anti-pollution deep Se system and lean against the valve, staring nervously at the pressure gauge to pressurize the pipeline, and then send the fresh water and fuel of the supply ship to the wet cabin of the battle patrol line.
The supply ship’s powerful mechanical boom and the patrol’s own mechanical boom are also operating under load. Tons of high-quality Welsh white coal is hoisted, which is about to leave the naval patrol and is pushed by the engine room soldiers to move the coal bunker. In the busy replenishment procedure, many impatient battle patrol captains once again offer the navy’s usual little game to make those majestic double-mounted main guns temporarily serve as mechanical booms, or to move the rear deck of the camel water plane warship with floating water surface or the coal tank of the supply ship with lower freeboard to the more affluent front deck.
Major Jenas walked along the deck with the inherent pride of English gentlemen to examine its feet. The stranding incident of modern war patrol and the collision incident made this battle cruiser big. ""The fleet laughed at this point, but Jenas didn’t care at all. This battle cruiser came from the battleship to dismantle the main gun and add the boiler magic change. The captain was the captain of the original Leona reconnaissance cruiser, half of whom were former graduates of the military academy, and half of them were officers and sailors transferred from destroyers and Q ships. Except for more than 100 backbones, most of them volunteered to join the Royal Navy merchant sailors. Whether it was a warship or driving it, the officers and men still need to run in!
Coal cinders are flying in the sea breeze near the power cabin. The leaky-spoon coal bunker is filled with water lines, and the armored dry cabin is also filled with water lines to form ballast. The water and oil tanks are also full of enough materials. The freeboard height of the war-weary ship has dropped sharply, and the battle patrol is the problem of waves on the front deck of the ship-type North Sea. Otherwise, Major Janus will have to worry about whether the unfamiliar sailors will make the war-weary ship encounter the same embarrassment as the brave light cruiser.
There is only one chimney in the stern of the War-weariness, and a few wisps of soot have risen. The chief engineer reported to Jenas that the power cabin is enough for the steam turbine to run, and the tugboat sent by the Steam Port Bureau also threw a thick rope. Major Jenas climbed the War-weariness towering bridge and looked at the flagship of the fast fleet in the southwest.
Before the fast fleet flagship barham patrol, the mast sea supply flag has been removed, and the main mast has been hung obliquely, and the flag of Lieutenant General Lampard at the top of the Royal Navy’s miter flag is also flying in the wind.
The Royal Navy is used to raising the flag and lowering it in the morning, but it must always fly the navy flag when sailing. Since the barham hoisted the navy flag before 8: 00 in the morning, it is not far from the departure of the fast fleet.
"Sea Soul of a Great Country Chapter 3 Gun Barrel" Captain Cole instructed the seaman to anchor the ship’s bow with mechanical winch to push the heavy anchor to be pulled up from the muddy bottom of Scarpa Bay with steam. The sailors gathered together the main mast and looked solemnly at the rice flag. Three minutes later, the flagship barham hung the flag "Each team keeps its formation and goes out to sea gradually" and repeated the line. The patrol team No.3 of World War II followed the footsteps of the flagship lookout, hung an E-shaped square flag representing the right turn and sounded the steam.
On June 17, 1917, at 6: 30 in the morning, the four-row cruise formation of the fast fleet left Scarpa Bay and a squadron of light cruisers accompanied it to Firth Bay, Scotland for routine training.
When the fast fleet left Scarpa Bay, the Oriental Xu of the Orkney Islands rose sharply, and the sun’s rays made the anchorage of the big fleet pale. Whether to leave Scarpa Bay for the big fleet or go to Firth Bay for the fast fleet never thought that this hasty farewell would be a permanent separation between man and nature.
Major Jenas went back to his cabin again to continue his ri-Ji.
"I sneer at a word and let Cole’s school wake up.’ Can the three old enemy-class and tireless-class war patrols of our fourth war patrol team still run?’
In addition to the vicissitudes of life, the Fourth World Patrol Fleet can run out of 26 knots. The highest speed of the indomitable, indomitable and New Zealand power trains is about 23 knots due to mechanical wear, which is only a little faster than that of the German battleship. There is no place left for the Fourth World Patrol Fleet Fast Fleet. It is just a cover-up here.
"Sea Soul of Great Powers" Without these four patrol fast fleets, can nine patrol ships win the German reconnaissance group of Seidlitz patrol ships? "
As soon as the fast fleet left the Scarpa Bay naval base, the atmosphere became strange. The young people in the general staff of the big fleet all went out of Firth Bay before the fast fleet. It was just a simple combat cruise, but from the frowning brows of the generals David Betty and Osmond Brock, the young people vaguely realized that something was wrong.
"Is Emperor Murphy another naval battle in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait?"
A brooding staff member in the duty room of the general staff of the big fleet suddenly angry and shouted at a room full of colleagues.
"In 1915, the fast fleet was able to finish blasting the German reconnaissance fleet, but the big fleet was not an opponent of the ocean fleet. Now our fast fleet is not the first opponent of Germany’s reconnaissance group because of three enemy-level and tireless patrol, but if we calculate the fast fleet’s fourth patrol fleet, four patrol ships take a back seat, and the battleship dread has 29 battleships, but the big fleet of the German ocean fleet can finish blasting 19 battleships! Did General Betty decide to copy the lessons of the naval battle in Scarborough Gerakl Strait from the arrogant Germans? "
This resourceful staff member’s bold speculation triggered a brainstorming. Based on a little information and the vivid example of the Battle of Scarborough Gerakl Strait, the staff members made up various blueprints for the decisive battle in the North Sea.
The South Firth Fast Fleet is the German reconnaissance fleet in the naval battle in Scarborough-Gerakl Strait. The purpose of this is to lure out the ocean fleet, and the big fleet will follow closely to find the German fleet "and" destroy it!
Captain Jackson, who is in charge of naval intelligence at the London Naval Headquarters, left his office in a hurry and quickly walked into Room 4 of the famous Naval Intelligence Department and asked briefly, "Where is the flagship calling code of the German Fast Fleet?"
"Jasper anchorage!"
Jasper Anchorage is what the British call "contempt for all civilian scholars and decoding experts" in Port William. Captain Jackson still doesn’t change his opinion, turns away slightly and never looks back, and refuses to stay there for a quarter of an hour.
Half a minute later, Captain Jackson looked down on the "civilian" and rushed in to report to William R Hall, Minister of Naval Intelligence, and shouted.
"Wei received the message that they went to sea!"
The news of the first German investigation group’s emergency going to sea was quickly fed back to Scarpa Bay. At this time, the headquarters building of the big fleet was full of rumors about the decisive battle in the North Sea, which attracted the three main fleets of the big fleet, sā, sailors and officers who believed in the news that the big fleet was about to go to sea for a decisive battle.
And locking himself in the commander-in-chief’s office is fidgeting. David Betty’s ecstasy seems to be talking to Osmond Brock, commander of Scarpa Bay base, and it seems to be telling the naval god of war across the North Sea through jǐng.
"Look, old friend, well, I’ll surprise you!" to be continued
The second gun chapter gun bore! (4)
(The fact sheet is a joke …)
The ancient church rang and sang centuries-old hymns. Sailors shouted and patrolled Jed Bay along the breakwater. There was a little light fog floating on the ocean surface, and the shadow of the times was looming in this shallow sea fog.
The early morning in Port William is like a medieval European oil painting permeated with tranquility and tranquility.
An iron ore ship far away from the dock of the military port, the pilot ship of William Harbor, led by tall Nordic sailors slowly approaching the dock, threw thick cables from the bow of the ship flying the Finnish flag, and the port bureau workers tied the cables to the iron piles of the dock.
