Chapter 13 Mutiny (1) [Watering]

Late at night on June 21, the ocean fleet located in the depths of the North Sea was rushing around the sky with the bright moonlight and cool sea breeze of the North Sea.

Wang Heidi was lying on the iron bed with many bottles of medicine for treating depression, resting on the Bavarian battleship commander's lounge, scattered with a bottle of rum, and covered with a North Sea chart with death marks on the Shetland Islands on the north side of the Orkney Islands, sleeping soundly.

The Admiral Mi Tian's dream no longer had the towering main mast of the warship, no more troubles of Charlottemberg Palace, no hugging and crying on the eve of the wedding in the lower-class area of ​​Kiel, and no more gunshots and farewells in Dick's villa. It was just a bridge full of modern atmosphere. A young man with a lawsuit hit his girlfriend with a youthful smile on his face and hugged each other tightly.

At the northernmost end of the North Sea, several scarred battle cruisers of the fast fleet that left the Warriors battle patrol slowly drove into the extremely empty and lonely Scarpa Bay. Lieutenant General Lampard sat blankly on the bridge, holding the manuscript of "Scarpa's Gold" and trembling constantly.

‘We lost after all…’

Several main battleships were docked sparsely in the depths of the Furth Bay, and the main fleet was the battleship St. Vincent, who had left the battlefield and the Indomitable Battle Patrol, who had been stranded on the beach, had not returned. The down-and-out David Betty grabbed the wine bottle and sat drunk on the rugged rocks of the cape, which was about to become the Scottish Highlands. Looking at the hazy shadow of the battleship Lamilis, which was no different from the nameplate and the Revenge in the dark night, he let out a familiar and strange sigh.

‘Oh, damn Kempedon!’

In 1893, the Campeton, who was serving in Betty, collided with the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet flagship Victoria. The Victoria sank on the spot and Campeton was severely damaged. This late night, Betty never did as he did today. He hoped that he would die in Campeton.

On the other side of the North Atlantic, the warlike Roosevelt stood in the telegraph room with red eyes, stubbornly refusing to admit that the four main battleships of the American battleship detachment had been destroyed, but only instructed the telegraphers to call Major General Rodman in vain, until the last trace of faith dissipated in the blood-red sunset in Washington.

After the fierce decisive battle, both the extremely tired winners and the defeated parties who could not sleep all night were resting. However, the temporary resumption of the navy does not mean that the vast North Atlantic Ocean will become silent.

Military is an extension of politics. After soldiers sacrifice their lives, it is time for politicians who are like clowns to make their debut.

"Sinking two German capital ships, the American Navy is still honored even if it is defeated!"

Just when the night in the North Sea was deep. Dozens of main battleships gathered there were either buried in the ocean or scattered in birds and beasts, it was dusk. American war dealers who planned the battle undeclaredly sent four main battleships to cross the ocean to secretly participate in the war, hoping to use a good start to inspire the morale of the depressed American people, but they did not want to suffer a crushing defeat on the first day of the war.

The death and disappearance of more than 4,000 officers and soldiers of the American battleship detachment caught the Americans off guard and difficult to get out of control. The Americans may not care about the four new main ships that have been in service for less than three years. After all, the local shipyards on the east and west sides are filled with new main ships under construction. If necessary, they can continue to build dumplings with wealth. However, the number of casualties is somewhat difficult to accept. Only God knows how difficult it is to recruit soldiers in the United States.

Americans have always felt that World War I was an internal strife between Europeans. America did not need to be involved in the storm. The consortium-controlled Congress forced the declaration of war on the allies, which has caused the American people to complain. Once the news of the failure of the participating fleet was leaked, the government department received countless pairs of shoes was considered the best ending.

Under the operation of the US government and Congress, American newspapers deliberately downplayed the fact that the entire battle fleet was destroyed, and one-sidedly intercepted the telegram of the Nevada, making the "American spirit" shown by the US Navy officers and soldiers in this naval battle and the excellent achievements of the US battleship detachment of the US battleship sinking two German Nassau-class battleships at the cost of sinking a New York-class battleship.

The Americans were busy evading public opinion. The British were angrily jumping over there and scolding the Americans as a war layman. The Sun never sets, and the Empire was still thinking about how to cover up and preserve the few fighting wills on the British Islands, but the Americans vividly portrayed their team-destroying battle fleets into typical examples of defeat and glory. Since even Americans who came to pick up cheap were embarrassed, the failure of the Royal Navy can be imagined.

"After the Battle of Orkney, there is no more naval in the British Islands!"

The mainstream London newspapers used this horrifying title in the morning of June 22. The sleepy John Bulls sat at the dining table and threw away the newspaper in their hands angrily, feeling that their dignity as British people had been insulted and violated. The first reaction of the people of the British Empire was to find the closest Mi-shaped flagship fleet, and tore out a series of ships to bombard the unscrupulous tabloids in London. It took a long time to wake up. They no longer had the fearless fleet that could intimidate the London tabloids.

The British could not accept the life without a naval force. After the Battle of Orkney Islands, the British who were defeated were really panicked. Many people gathered in front of the naval department and asked Belfort to explain, while more British people were thinking about what this war brought to Britain.

Did the Germans punish the Germans? No, the Germans can already approach the doorstep of Britain's home and block the waterway of the empire without setting sun!

Did the colonies be expanded? No, the interests of the Allies in the Far East were mostly covered by Japan, and Africa was in full swing, and in the North Atlantic, the British were losing the Ireland Islands!

Did it plunder wealth? No, support for France, land wars, rebuilding the large fleet and suppressing the Irish rebellion have exhausted the wealth accumulated by the British Empire for a hundred years, and the Germans are negotiating with Russia to include millions of square kilometers of land into their sphere of influence.

"Five hours after the declaration of war, the entire fleet was destroyed. Is this your American choice?!"

Sarcasticizing Americans who are greedy for small gains is a topic that Berlin talks about after the Naval Battle of the Orkney Islands.

At noon yesterday, news of the United States declaring war on Germany spread like crazy. Although the Germans comforted themselves that the US Army was not worth mentioning and that they could not even pass the North Atlantic Ocean, which was guarded by General Heidi Silem, in fact, the Germans, who were exhausted by the three-year war, were still a little panicked. Unexpectedly, in just one afternoon, the situation completely changed. The Ocean Fleet, which secretly went to sea, not only fortunately fulfilled their fate, but also brought an old punch to the American warfighting fleet that was shamelessly delivered to the door, directly sunk three prisoners, and won a complete victory.

The Navy did a great job. The German newspapers who learned the news added a stamp overnight and immediately publicized the pleasant news, causing countless Germans who were tortured by high-intensity work, unemployment, hunger, and disability to cry out in joy.

In the craze for promoting naval victory, some newspapers have set their sights on Heidi Sileme ingeniously.

"Who else can stop Heidi Sileme, the God of War?"

The topic about Heidi Sileme has been so bad that in the German dictionary republished, Sileme became synonymous with the naval god of war. Sileme's wife Anne is equivalent to the fierce wife. In 1902, the tear at the tavern became a widely circulated idiom in Europe and appeared frequently in novels praising love. However, on June 22, Heidi Sileme's prestige in Germany reached its peak, and the reports of new wines in wine bottles still attracted a lot of attention.

The Berliners unscrupulously show off Heidi Sileme's record. From the Battle of Helgolan to the nearest Orkney Islands, this naval god with a rough career and long-term mild depression has commanded almost all the naval forces of the Allied countries, defeating the world's major naval powers, including Britain, France, and the United States. On the premise that Russia surrendered and the navy was divided by Germany and Austro-Hungary, Heidi Sileme was left with the last opponent on this dazzling sea of ​​stars, the disgusting second-rate naval power in the Far East.

Amid the noise, a train closely monitored by the Imperial Army was speeding towards Wilhelmshaven. The second-ranked Army figure Ludendolph, who actually controlled Berlin, sat in one of the high-end cars, staring at the thick stack of newspapers praising Heidi Sileme on the desk and frowned.

At noon, the train that Rudendolf took to enter Wilhelmshaven Railway Station. As soon as he got off the train, he ran into the hot atmosphere from Wilhelmshaven Pier.

On this day, Wilhelmshaven was empty, and the white-haired veterans took out their old military uniforms and stood upright at the dock. The children held models of warships made of wood and chased any soldiers in naval uniforms and sang naval songs. The young people gathered together in groups of three to discuss the possibility of joining the Imperial Navy. The girls stood on tiptoe and anxiously waited for their lovers to return. Even though the sailors at William's base and a small number of Marines had already pulled out the cordon at the dock, they still could not stop the enthusiasm of the residents of Wilhelmshaven.
