Chapter Eleven Aftermath (6)
Night, eleven o'clock..././
"General Silame, we admire your outstanding command ability and advanced strategic vision, but we cannot accept the imprisonment and torture of us by **s!"
In the command cabin of the USS Dokenheim transport ship, the naval officer of the British Empire was furious and pointed at the victor's nose and pointed at the erection of the erection.
"** room, a set of laundry changes, allowing the reservation of personal belongings, espresso and some desserts. General Silame, this is not a request, but the etiquette that any country's navy deserves to the captured officers!"
The Imperial sailors, who were not interested in the British, were really impatient with these British men who couldn't recognize the status quo. In an instant, several committee rifles were raised, and the black muzzle pointed directly at the gentlemen of the British Isles.
"What is this? Threat? Well, sailors, shoot us and kill us! Use the blood of the Royal Navy to highlight the majesty of the German Navy flag!" The school officials began to cheer, and the voice of Captain John Saville of the Crown was particularly prominent. "But remember, if the Ocean Fleet cannot have the mind and demeanor of the ocean, then **s will always be the dwarf who can only dominate the small pond in the North Sea!"
The British official's toughness shocked the simple sailors a little. Just as the sailors hesitated, they could really hear the gunshots.
Most of the sailors of the Ocean Fleet have been tempered by war. The so-called war is not endless trenches, countless machine gun castles and land war artillery of various calibers, but heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 280 mm and shell weights of more than 400 kilograms. These naval guns can easily lift water columns dozens of meters high, and fragments can penetrate the profile of the secondary artillery artillery. The iron armor-piercing part can penetrate more than 100 millimeters of carburized hardened armor, completely destroying a costly dreadnought. However, such a group of imperial sailors who can remain calm in the face of the most tragic maritime war were actually frightened by the sudden gunfire.
The frightened British officials looked at the place where the gunshots were heard, and then they saw a little blue smoke coming out of the ugly c96 Mauser pistol. Wang Heidi didn't care about British officials' slightly chilling eyes, and used the controversial "mirror box" that General Hippel called "the shame of the naval officer" to the crooked naval cap, and a bloodthirsty light burst out under the brim of the hat.
"Don't fucking talk about the treatment of captured officers with me! I don't care about international conventions and naval traditions, to be honest. I have never been a gentleman of Rauss, I am just a descendant of poor fishermen in Kiel, son of a slum-descending porter. The lowest porter on the dock!"
The commander-in-chief of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, who had been silent, burst out in emotion. Captain John Saville, the captain of the Qiu Ren, looked up at the bullet holes on the top of the steel wall. The aggressive mockery came to an abrupt end, as if someone had been choked. He was so guilty that he couldn't even breathe.
"I just want to know one thing, where did you get my soldiers! Don't tell me that you don't know, you must have read the internal report of the Jutland Naval Battle!"
The officers of Great Britain finally stopped talking about him. In the Battle of Skagrak Strait, Britain lost six main battleships, and another main battleship severely damaged, accumulated to sink a German main battleship, two old battleships and four dome cruisers, but this is not the whole truth. The fast fleet did not accept the surrender of the German reconnaissance fleet in the Skagrak Strait, and used naval guns to destroy fishing boats without resistance and erase all evidence. The madness of the war report was not written into the battle report, but there were still many true and false rumors spreading.
"General Silame. I... I'm sure they are still alive!" Whether Wang Heidi, who couldn't bear to ask the guardian to make a good lie, or to tell a lie in order to protect himself, Lieutenant Colonel John Saville, the captain of the Crown, refuted some rumors by nature, sowing the seeds of hatred for the broken relationship between England and Germany and the fragmented friendship between Wang Heidi and Betty.
"I know there are many unfounded rumors on both sides of the North Sea, but that is not true. Although several German sailors were unfortunately killed in military operations, the remaining sailors stayed in prison camps, and they were very safe!"
(--Gorgeous dividing line--)
The king's study was filled with high-ranking officials of the empire, including kingdoms, grand priests and princes, government cabinet members and emperor's state secretary, senior army officers and former naval ministers, and many veterans with high prestige in the empire.
"No, your majesty, you are right!"
The commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet, the younger brother of the German Emperor William, was usually the Great Prussian Prince Albert William Heinrich, who was usually Prince Henry, emphasized without hesitation:
"Mr. Bateman Holwich and Prince Marx insist on dealing with Heidi Sileme after the war, but the truth is that if we don't kill everything before the young man gains higher prestige, we are likely to lose control of him after the war."
"Prince Henry, are you sure that the Navy can continue to win after getting rid of Heidi Sileme?"
Bateman knew Prince Henry's dark mind. Prince Henry joined the Navy in 1880 and served as admiral on September 13, 1901. He served as commander of the Baltic Fleet from 1903 to 1906. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ocean Fleet in 1906. Later, due to the conflict with Tirpitz, he was re-transferred to the Baltic Fleet. After the outbreak of the European war, Prince Henry became commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet.
It is somewhat similar to the three major British fleets. Although the German Ocean Fleet and the Baltic Fleet are in the same class, the Ocean Fleet has all the imperial dreadnoughts, battle patrols and most new light patrols and ocean destroyers. The Baltic Fleet responsible for monitoring Russia has only a few re-mobilized old battleships and older dome cruisers.
After the Battle of Tannenberg, the passive situation of the Empire in East Prussia was completely broken. The Army asked the Navy to take feint attacks and restrain the actions along the Baltic Sea coast. The young people who controlled the Navy, with the support of Ingnore, bypassed the Baltic Fleet Command and formed a separate Baltic Sea Blockade Fleet with an unfixed organization.
Prince Henry's only remaining combat power was drawn out, and the Baltic fleet was in name only. Therefore, Prince Henry had reason to resent the young people.
William's Germany has replaced four prime ministers. In terms of ability and pattern, Bateman Holwig is far inferior to the first three, but Bateman Holwig is the one who has been in office for the longest time. The reason why Bateman can withstand the Emperor William's various unrealistic ideas and his character of causing trouble and firmly occupying the position of Prime Minister is not unrelated to his pot-making craftsman's curve in saving the country.
"Your Majesty, I stand by my point of view!"
"Mr. Bateman, I will lead the Navy to continue to win, there is no doubt about this!"
For the experience-oriented navy, 53 years old, it is not too old to be old, but both government officials and the emperor themselves know the importance of Prince Henry. It is a glory to be promoted to become an admiral at the age of 39, but after all, this is due to the surname Hohenzollern. It must be known that Heidi Silem had won a series of naval battles before being promoted to Lieutenant General. This is not a war-style "victory" to rescue the Far East, but a true defeat of the arrogant Royal Navy!
"So how do we calm the opposition within the Navy?"
The most democratic Prince of Baden, Marx von Baden, was unwilling to get entangled in this issue. He saw through the root of the hesitation of the German Emperor William.
(--Gorgeous dividing line--)
"I can finally get some relief. The guys are still alive, and you can still see the statue of Wilhelmshaven and the oak trees in Kill Harbour!"
The essence of the Imperial Navy - the Ocean Fleet, about 100 warships, formed three square formations in the northern and southern parts of the North and Hainan, pulled a dozen kilometers of fronts on the ink-like sea, and drove forward towards the northeastern Bay at night.
The British sailors surrounded the deck were escorted to the cabin under the deck of Lieutenant Colonel Lauren by Marines trained by Lieutenant Colonel Lauren. The British officials who escaped by luck wiped away the fine cold sweat from their foreheads and smoked cigarettes in fear and enjoyed the lucky treatment of the officer.
The noisy transport ship finally gained a deep tranquility. Wang Heidi, who was hung with the rank of lieutenant general, squatted on the fly bridge in front of the chimney, sucking the smoke in his mouth with big mouthfuls, and rushing to embroider and spit it out before passing his lungs.
The light blue smoke dissipated in the sea breeze of the North Sea. Wang Heidi grabbed a small piece of cigarette butt and stared at a distant place. She continued the topic in a leisurely manner.
"Commander, I am very frightened to the young people and their families, fearing that the young people I sent out will not come back. Fortunately, they are still alive when this terrible war is over. We can also welcome the heroes back."
"Silem..." General Franz von Hippel, commander-in-chief of the Ocean Fleet, raised his hand to the patrolling sailors. He secretly glanced at the navy's undefeated Ares, looking away step by step and three times. Hippel coughed lightly and expressed his uneasiness truthfully. "Wegener carefully calculated the schedule of the Jutland Naval Battle. He found that from the British's encounter with the reconnaissance fleet to the captive of them, there was about fifteen minutes window between them, which was enough for them to send us early warning messages..."
"Maybe there was a problem with the telegraph plane of the reconnaissance fleet. It could be due to weather or other things."
Wang Heidi shook her head and rejected General Hippel's judgment. Unconsciously, her first acquaintance with the eight great hutongs in the Far East Rescue War in 1900, a chat in the tavern in Tianjin and Shanghai Concession, a hangover on the eve of the wedding in 1902, and a mutual appreciation for Kiel Port in 1914.
Wang Heidi threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it again. "I know David Betty, he is not a tyrant!"
"I hope so." Admiral Hippel, known for his rationality and calmness, changed the subject, leaned against the iron rope guardrail of the flying bridge, and asked casually, "How about it, are there any new plans?"
"How about occupying Scapa Bay?" Wang Heidi retracted her dispersed gaze and said seriously: "The large fleet has retreated to Willis Bay. Now is a good time to occupy Scapa Bay!"
"Occupy Scapa Bay?!" The rash Lieutenant Colonel Lauren came out from somewhere. He tightened his armed belt and looked excited. "Commander-in-Chief, my Marine Corps has a size of 3,000 people. Although there is no artillery, the captains of the Ocean Fleet must not mind that I took away some 150mm and 88mm naval guns from the warship..."
"Haha, General Falkenhein will definitely appreciate you!" When Lieutenant Colonel Lauren focused his attention on Scarpa Bay on the northwest side, Hippel turned his eyes in the opposite direction.
Crossing the dangerous English Channel minefield, crossing the trenches of the front line, and crossing the rolling hills on the north side of the Paris Basin, the Normandy beach behind the meat grinder is quiet.
(--Gorgeous dividing line--)
As soon as the most democratic Prince Marx von Baden finished speaking, the Chief of Staff of the Army Erich von Falkenhein jumped out.
"First, the nobles and officers will firmly support His Majesty's actions; second, we have mastered the imperial finance and land. Although some factory owners and university professors support Silame, this force is not yet in a state of chaos; third, we have already had the most perfect plan, and the Oolong after the Battle of Jutland this time is impossible to replicate this time; fourth, the empire inherited the military tradition of the Prussian era, which is strong enough. Once we show our trump card, the navy can only shut up!" (This site.com your support is my greatest motivation.)
