There are two bugs in these chapters. The Fifth Battleship participated in the sneak attack in the early morning, so it was impossible to return to the North Sea with a width of more than 300 nautical miles in one day and return to Wilhelmshaven. Secondly, the Iron Duke-class battleship was equipped with 15-inch main guns. Although the ship type is similar to the type of Joe V and Orion-class battleships, it cannot be called a ship of the same type.

"The First Reconnaissance Fleet will set out in an hour. Marshal, as long as you allow me to bring a bottle of Haoke on the ship, I will invite you to follow the First Reconnaissance Fleet..."

Wang Heidi gave the Imperial Navy Minister a difficult question, which was a single choice question with only one option.

The sea is like a poison, and its broad mind and unique charm nurtured the passion and debauchery of naval men. However, this passion and debauchery is restrained and implicit in some periods, just like the deepest nostalgia of the sea, the most restrained love for warships, and the most gentle respect for coal smoke. Although Reinhardscher has been promoted to the Minister of the Navy, how can a mere naval headquarters office nameplate and the distance from Berlin to Wilhelmshaven imprison a veteran sailor who has been wandering on the sea since 1879 cannot withstand the lonely heart?

"Singlair, let the guys work harder. We have to complete the supply task within an hour and go out before 18:12."

The commander tower of the flagship of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, Wang Heidi didn't care about the entangled Navy minister, tilted his military cap, held a cigarette that seemed more effective than sleeping pills and calming pills, and devoted himself to the preparations that made him passionately burn.

"Okay. General!" Staff Officer Singhlaire saluted and turned around and went out. Wang Heidi, who was bandit-like, turned his head again, glanced at the deputy commander of the fleet, Lewinterzo, and asked, "Where are the Fifth Battleship and the Second Reconnaissance Fleet?"

"After completing the escort mission, they were gathering near Cape Lostoft." Major General Lewentezo stepped forward and replied, pointing to the chart on the chart table.

"Import them to head south immediately and meet us at Nez Point!"

"Sight south?" After taking the signed telegram paper, Levintz, who was walking towards the telegram room, subconsciously came over for a long time before the screening came. He staggered and staggered several steps before holding the bulkhead and barely stabilizing his body.

After the decisive battle in the North Sea, the paper tiger carefully packaged by the British Empire was overturned to the ground, and the Ocean Fleet was in an unprecedented spirit. The torpedo and mine protection training started in April made everyone realize that the operation against the British coastline was on the verge of the moment. Navy people were talking about this. Most of the middle and lower-level officers and sailors of the Navy, including Lewentezo, believed that the prey of the Ocean Fleet was broken Scapa Bay, which can be seen from the Ocean Fleet's team heading north, but it was obvious that they guessed wrong.

Is it the tightly defended Thames River instead of the Scapa Bay that I thought was?

Lewentezo glanced at Wang Heidi with a complicated expression. He vaguely felt that this was not the whole truth.

Within a few minutes, several consecutive orders were issued. The preparations for the First Reconnaissance Fleet suddenly accelerated, and several reserve battle fleets, light cruisers, destroyers and minesweepers scattered on the North Sea were like precision machinery, running around the Thames River at the southern end of the North Sea.

Looking at Wang Heidi who gave orders, Navy Minister Scher looked envious. It should be known that he, born in Hannover, also fought in the flagship Hannover, the flagship of the Second Battleship Fleet, the flagship Caesar, the flagship of the Third Battleship Fleet, and the flagship of the Ocean Fleet Fleet Fleet Fleet Fleet Fleet Fleet Fleet the Great. The flying battle flags, the smoke of the naval guns, and the roar of the sea had already penetrated into his soul.

Scher was almost in love with Wang Heidi. The Navy did not avoid its officers and soldiers drinking one or two bottles of beer and a little red wine occasionally. Although the Hawkeheim white wine produced in the Rhineland is famous for its strength, it is considered red wine at least. Drinking is not allowed during the mission, but what about when returning?

The six words "at most half a cup of high-cook" were almost blurted out. But the damn Erich Hepna jumped out.

"General Schell, I found a Prohibition on the wall of the combat command room of the base headquarters..." The guy who had worked in the Military Law Department seemed to have no idea that the Earthlings had the "mind" thing. He showed his superb business qualities at the inappropriate time. "General Han High School, commander of William Naval Base, told me that this Prohibition is not formal..."

The greedy Wang Heidi's body trembled, and her big heart that could face Dogel's terrifying terror was beating violently, and she almost jumped up and praised Han High School for being "good".

It’s not that Wang Heidi doesn’t accept the love of Han’s senior high school general, but that Erich Hipna’s continued words were too fierce, so fierce that even a time traveler could not afford it.

"Although this prohibition order, which is only for General Silame, sounds less formal, from a legal perspective, this prohibition order signed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ocean Fleet and stamped with the seal of the Shanghai Army Commander-in-Chief, is completely legal, that is, this prohibition order has already taken effect from the date of signature!"

Gorgeous dividing line

The daytime duration in high latitudes in late April is always longer than that in Wilhelmshaven. Even though Wilhelmshaven has sunset in the West Sea, the setting sun is just right in northern Scotland.

A dozen giant steel ships unloaded their heavy murderous aura and rushed along the west side of the Orkney Islands.

The sea water on the Atlantic Ocean is blood-red, dyed with the colors of burning clouds. Several lighthouses stand on the cliffs of the Hoy Bay coast on the east side. A patrol boat converted from a trawler was sprayed with coal smoke, forming a dynamic without realizing it. The oblique light sprinkled on this silent fleet, quietly coating the desolate and remote sea area with impressionism.

Unfortunately, the owner of Orkney Islands did not have time to appreciate the sunset of the Scottish Fjords.

Waiting is an unknown sorrow, anxiety is its appearance, fear of the unknown is its inner self, and you cannot grasp it is its essence. Waiting can always underestimate the passing years, perfunctory youth, and encircle you into the invisible net woven by yourself. Those who can see through cannot speak, while those who cannot see through are simply entangled.

This is a true portrayal of the mood of Henry Jackson, the commander-in-chief of the Great Fleet. This general, who has long existed as a technical officer, but has lofty ambitions, never thought that the Royal Navy would lose its ability to take the initiative to attack. He did not expect that the naval battle could develop into a stunning battle of wits and courage like Heidi Silem and David Betty, and he did not expect that the knowledge he learned at the Royal Navy Academy and the experience of the Navy for decades would not help him deal with problems at all.

Before taking office as commander-in-chief of the Great Fleet, the conceited Henry Jackson believed that his ability was not inferior to that talented guy on the other side of the North Sea - Heidi Sileme.

"I wrote a successful science fiction novel, relying on the hardships of ships and guns and the mistakes of some British commanders, and the mistakes of some British commanders, and the most sincere evaluation of Lieutenant General Heidi Sileme, the first strategist of the German Navy and the commander of the Ocean Fleet. However, when Jackson stood at the same height as Sileme, except for the coldness of the heights and the frequent exhaustion, Jackson found that he was very wrong.

Be able to see through the situation at the British and German seas, launch a series of ambush battles within the authority of the Helgolan Bay Defense Circle Command, changing the morale of the navy; be able to guess the complete plan of the former commander of the Haric Fleet Reginald Tiritte, and give the Haric Fleet a devastating blow to the Helgolan Bay; be able to lead a lonely army as bait to bombard and land on the British Empire. He has to deal with eight main battleships in the Dogel Sands; be able to design a sophisticated sneak attack tactic like the Battle of Mudros Bay, and be able to lead five main battleships to fight against a powerful fast fleet, sink five main battleships at the cost of losing a export ship, creating unprecedented glory. Even when the world navy explores the future development of the navy, it makes a shocking prediction. Can you say that these are all unpredictable luck?

The young man's story is wonderful, and every word is full of legend and incredible, which makes Jackson shudder. More importantly, Jackson realizes that David Betty and John Jelico, who can be Heidi Sileme's opponent, are not as unbearable as he imagined.

Technically, Heidi Sileme has written "On Asymmetrical Warfare in the Age of Battleships", and Jackson has also made indelible contributions to the development of British torpedo technology and telegraph technology. However, in terms of strategic vision and command ability, Jackson was not even half a street in Heidi Sileme, and he was even worse than David Betty, whom he despised.

April 28. The Germans' large-scale attack was imminent, and no one in the large fleet could guess Heidi Sileme's true intentions. However, David Betty was able to jump out of the trap Heidi Sileme deliberately set out through the strange current situation and messy clues. Find the key to the problem.

As for personal charm, Jackson is an absolute dwarf. In order to correct the impetuous naval expansion plan of the emperor and the Navy minister, Wang Heidi was not hesitant to entangle with the top German naval leaders, and finally brought an invisible brainstorm to Germany. As the main member of the Fisher Gang, Jelico reformed personnel, improved the status of technical officers and turbine officers under the heavy pressure of naval conservatives, and vigorously adopted new technology. Although Jackson was quite technically insightful, he was confident in this controversial reform. Even David Betty, Jackson despised the most, had once been heartfelt to Jackson:

"The most elite army troops in the Kingdom are already trapped in the French battlefield. The troops left on the land are just newly recruited soldiers and unstoppable militias. However, no matter how empty the land is, as long as the large fleet is still there, the Germans dare not really give up and land on the British Empire. Relying on the powerful shipbuilding industry of the Kingdom, although it is difficult, Britain will always rise again. But if the large fleet suffers severe damage or no longer exists, then the British Empire will be really finished!"

Yes, when Jackson was at a loss, he thought of David Betty. He once humiliated David Betty in public at the Navy Conference in London, but he was sure that David Betty would not dare to watch the fire from the other side of the river based on his personal grudges when the British Empire was in crisis.

Jackson won the bet. Betty turned his back to Lampard with a gloomy face, and gave up Scapa Bay without hesitation. That was indeed the best choice in the chaotic situation, allowing Jackson's large fleet to stand at a height of attacking, retreating and defending. Jackson was only the commander-in-chief of the large fleet, not the commander-in-chief of the three local fleets. As long as he could preserve the large fleet, he would be an undefeated winner! As for his former ideals, Jackson no longer cared about his life in the face of his personal career.

The intelligence room confidential officers were filled with commander towers that broke into the Iron Duke's battleship, and used their sharp voices to break the silence of the commander tower and Jackson's flying thoughts.

"General, the First Reconnaissance Fleet has been dispatched and headed southwest!" (..)
