[Haha, Black Churchill is so happy... Speed ​​up the pace, second update, exhausted...]

"The Battle of Helgolan Bay, the Haric Fleet was almost wiped out, and it has not yet recovered its vitality; the Battle of Coronel, the Cradock fleet, except for the Old Asterisk battleship, none of the four cruisers survived, Major General Cradock died in his country; the Battle of Cape Sochi, the ally Russian Black Sea Fleet was defeated, two old battleships sank, and Lieutenant General Andre, the commander, was killed; the German Emden and the Konesburg attack ships turned the Indian Ocean upside down, and the Royal Navy was helpless; in the North Sea, German light ships chased our merchant ships unscrupulously, but we were powerless; 500,000 troops were deeply trapped in the French battlefield, and the French and our army brothers urgently needed local support, but German submarines could always easily cross the defense line of the Strait fleet and attack our transport ships!"

On November 5, all members of the British Navy Committee, commanders of the three local fleets, intelligence officials, technical consultants, senior staff of the Navy General Staff, as well as representatives from the Supreme National Defense Commission and the British Lower Parliament gathered in the slightly dilapidated conference room in the British Navy headquarters building in London.

November 1, 1914 was undoubtedly the crying day of the Allies. The British King George V-class daring battleship sank after "safety" of the mines, damage pipes and drag rescue in Swiley Bay were ineffective; the German Army launched another land offensive, and when the war was intensified, the busy Strait transportation line was paralyzed due to the mine laying of German submarines; just when the British Empire was in vain, on November 2, a London tabloid detonated the news that the Royal Navy was defeated in the Battle of Conerol.

Britain is an island country with insufficient manpower and small land and scarce resources. The ocean made the British industrial revolution and the empire for a hundred years. This young island country has never had any bonds of land. The people of the kingdom know the ocean better than any country in the world. There is something called the sea soul flowing in their bones and blood. It is precisely because of this that this island country devotes their best talents, the most military expenditure and the greatest pride to the navy. Whenever they face it,

In danger, the first reaction of the people was to find their navy. A tragic war broke out, and the British continued to express their feelings as usual, but they were surprised and embarrassed to find that the actions of the Royal Navy had failed their trust. The large fleet not only did not dare to take the initiative, but could not even defend the coastline and the lifeline at sea. The people of the British Empire were still looking forward and still in Xiyi, trying every means to find reasons to excuse their pride, but Coronel's miserable defeat gave them a blow.

The whole country of Britain was shocked, and riots broke out in London first. A large number of people who had lost their minds marched and demonstrated in front of the Prime Minister's residence and the Navy headquarters building, throwing stones and making homemade incendiary bombs. The Prime Minister led the resignation of the cabinet members. Churchill's position as a Navy minister was shaking, and a strange atmosphere of trees falling and scattering were filled with the Navy.

Winston Churchill, standing on the rostrum, suddenly raised his soothing tone. He stood up and stubbornly pushed open the window of the conference room, allowing the hustle and bustle of the demonstrators outside the Navy Headquarters building to come in.

"Gentlemen, the honor that the Royal Navy has accumulated over hundreds of years is about to be defeated by us. I have no intention to criticize anything, I have no intention to blame anyone, but we have to do something! The Royal Navy needs to save the lost honor and win over the willfulness of the people towards us!"

Outside the building, the British people held up a portrait of Churchill and burned it in public. Winston Churchill smelled the pungent burnt smell, expressionless, and slightly provocative eyes swept across the shameful faces of a group of middle- and senior officials.

"Mr. Churchill, the Defense Commission unconditionally supports any action you have!"

"Mr. Churchill, the Parliament agrees with your point of view!" The National Defense Commission and the representatives sent by the House of Commons stood up without hesitation and expressed support for the stormy Navy Minister Churchill.

Although Churchill lacks military literacy, as a civil servant, he has enough connections in the UK, so he resigned as the prime minister. Churchill, at the age of 40, can still stand on the main seat of the Navy headquarters conference room.

The main members of the Fisher Gang remained silent under the vague warning of the National Defense Committee and the Parliamentary representatives. The romantic Churchill returned to the rostrum in the conference room and talked quietly about the huge sea chart hanging on the wall.

"Gentlemen, we are facing many huge difficulties and challenges now: the Battle of Conerol and the Battle of Cape Sochi tell us that no matter how many old battleships are, they cannot fight against even a dreadnought and a battle patrol. The South American squadron, which we have high hopes for, cannot stop the Spee fleet. The British Empire, with the sea as a natural barrier, will encounter two fronts for the first time; Admiral Berkeley-Mirne's Mediterranean fleet was weakened, the old man and the defense were transferred to South America, and a large number of light fleets were transferred to the Indian Ocean to participate in the hide-and-seek game against the Emden attack ship. Now the Jazz has only two invincible class battle patrols and a temporary Agincourt. Once the German Goben battle patrols are fought in the battle patrols, the Jazz has only two invincible class battle patrols and a temporary Agincourt.

After rushing out of the Dardanelles, the Mediterranean fleet will be unable to interfere with any German actions; the cruising of the Emden and Konisberg attack ships in the Indian Ocean has seriously affected the empire's maritime lifeline. We have invested more than 30 cruisers into the Indian Ocean in one go. The question is how many warships or strategies are needed to appease the Eastern route? In order to defend France and Paris, the Royal Navy will draw all light ships stationed in the local area and equipped with large fleets to escort the English Channel transportation line. However, the German submarines carrying mines and airships carrying small bombs can still cross the blockade of the Strait Fleet to raid the transport fleet. The situation in the North Sea is also decayed, and the Bold Super Dreadnought is a victim!”

"Gentlemen, the situation is not optimistic, and it is even in danger! The long-range blockade theory of Marshal Fisher and the Grand Fleet has been in name only. It is time for the Grand Fleet to attack! Let the second battlecruiser squadron tirelessly, the three battle cruisers of New Zealand and Australia march south to strangle the Speh fleet to avoid the British Empire's terrible two-line battles; let the battleship Agincourt become the formal organization of the Mediterranean fleet, maintain the blockade of the Dardanelles; mobilize more cruisers to deal with the guerrillas of German attack ships in a regional blockade; completely block the English Channel and transfer the light fleet temporarily assigned to the Strait Fleet back to deal with the aggressive offensive of the German Navy!"

Churchill drew four clear fronts on the huge chart. He took a deep breath and shouted: "It's time for the large fleet to attack. We need to give the Germans a thunder strike to let them know the Royal Navy's reverse scales!"

Winston Churchill's passionate agitation ended, without the applause he deserved, no flowers, only the dumbfounded soldiers who had been through war. John Jelico finally stopped his sneer, coughed softly, and slowly stood up.

"On November 1, the battleship of the Bold sank; the power systems of the Iron Duke and Ajax were aging and continued to return to the factory to improve; Orion is returning to the factory to repair due to a steam turbine failure; the Ireland (formerly Turkish Rensadih), Benbao, the Indian Emperor battleship and the Tiger battleship have just been put into service and have not yet formed combat effectiveness; the Aginkur set off for the Mediterranean in September." General Jelico, the commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet, did not directly

Refuting Churchill, he listed a series of data quietly: "Mr. Churchill, if you draw out three battle patrols of the second battle cruiser squadron, in a long time in the future, the large fleet will only have 17 battleships and 5 battle patrols to use, while the German Ocean Fleet has 16 battleships, 4 battle patrols and one quasi-war patrol (Blüchel). Our numerical advantage over the ocean fleet will be gone!"

"With the German Emperor William here, the Ocean Fleet will never take the initiative!" Jelico used cold data to refute Winston Churchill, who was more emotional than rational. Churchill's face was covered with drunken blush and said in anger.

"You said the same thing before the Battle of Helgolan Bay!" Admiral John Jelico, the only remaining senior executive of the Fisher Gang, looked at his boss Churchill, shook his head and said calmly.

"If the British do not divide their troops, the British South American squadron will not be able to stop the pace of Earl Spey, and the British west coast will face a huge threat; if the British divide their troops, the numerical advantage of the large fleet will be gone."

In Berlin, Germany, in a dark painted room at the Navy headquarters, the floor was filled with cigarette butts that had been smoked or not finished. The choking tar smell ferments in the narrow room. The dim light was only turned on, and the soft-toned light made the people in the room pale. Lieutenant General Reinhard Schell, who had been transferred to the third battleship squadron, Lieutenant General Franz von Hippel, Commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, Major General Heidi Sileme, Chief of the Navy Staff Operations Section, Colonel Erich Redell, Flashing at a wrinkled chart.

"Commander, our ship is better than the British. This is the best time for us to break the British's remote blockade!" Wang Heidi dropped the pencil in his hand and handed the plan to General Ingnoll, the commander-in-chief of the Ocean Fleet, and concluded with unsatisfactory satisfaction.

"The Emperor's Voice" General Ingnoll did not carefully review the plan. The good man raised his head and said gentle to the energetic young man: "Silem, are you sure you want to fight this battle, and the Ocean Fleet will win?"
