Chapter 635: 14. Fearless Admiral Golchak (1)

A destroyer;
Two cruisers;
The strength gap between the two is clear at a glance. Even if the condition of both ships is equally good, not many people will be optimistic about the destroyer, let alone that the destroyer belongs to the Principality Navy.
Everyone knows that because there is no funds, the Principality Navy even the military pay is difficult to pay on time and in full, and there is not much money to repair and repair the pile of old antiques that have been in the water for decades, and the sailors have stolen shipboard equipment. Low The sale of prices has made those old ships that are already in poor condition even more dangerous. Basically, if you can take the boat out of the coastline and take a boatman alive to the shore, you can call it a great undertaking.
A destroyer of the Principality Navy destroys two cruisers of Albion? It's like a free French resistance fighter pulling out a Renault ft17 from the museum and then using this antique to turn over two German tigers. General Charles de Gaulle, who had more mouth guns than real guns, heard this battlefield myth, and his jaw would fall to the ground.
This is not to say that there are no examples of naval battles with weak wins and strong wins, and there are many such examples in another world, such as the single-handed pursuit of the counterattack battle of the sisters Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Another example is the navy that is still extremely powerful when transferred to Taiwan. Under the aura of Kaishen Gong and Daxiangrui's destroyer "Danyang", he was repeatedly pushed and crushed by various positions of the plan that were weaker than himself. After getting tired of the chrysanthemums, the army naval squadrons with the "Navy" brand went to the Vietnamese monkeys again and repeatedly insulted the training... er, it was the same as the 1974 Xisha naval battle.
Therefore, it is not impossible to win with weakness. The problem is that--
"How did the lucky boy do it?"
Li Lin wants to know about this matter, and intelligence agencies, naval generals, and national leaders all over the world want to know, as well as Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov. He carefully read the voyage log of the destroyer "Forget-me-not", the combat reports submitted by the captain and the deputy captain separately, and read them carefully word by word, as if to imprint all the words in his mind. After watching for an hour and a half, the commander of the Arctic Sea Fleet and the commander of the Kronstadt base raised his head and turned his attention to the opposite desk. The captain of the destroyer wearing a full navy uniform had stood there like a javelin. It's an hour.
"Alexander Vasilyevich (Gorchak's own name and father's name), why don't you sit down?"
Kolchak, who looked at the military posture more than the guard. The admiral was puzzled.
"Sorry. I think this is better."
The navy battle hero of the Principality answered with a loud chest and his jaw was raised higher.
Apparently, Colonel Kolchak was stimulated. Many people are skeptical of his record. Including his comrades and colleagues. Everyone looked at him with suspicion and jealousy. Various whispers circulated in the Kronstadt base, and in the Admiralty building on Arbat Avenue in St. Petersburg, criticism and blame were almost public.
The bragging king, the fabricated newspaper, the novelist, and the delusion... The most official and formal statement is "the cowardly deserter who fabricated the newspaper"-this long word was invented by Lieutenant General Biliruov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet. He is also one of the most exciting against Kolchak.
Dignified Lieutenant General attacked a captain of the colonel, it is unavoidable that there are some trivial matters, but those who are familiar with the situation know that there is personal grievance between the two.
Many years ago, Lieutenant General Biliruov, who always liked "I have actual combat experience" to his mouth, attended a banquet. After three tours, the generals began to boast "I have actual combat experience." An unfamiliar rookie lieutenant was curious about when the Principality Navy in the Shrinking Harbor had actually fought in the year, so in front of the guests, he asked loudly about the actual combat experience of the general, and Lieutenant General Billyov blushed. The answer is as follows: I have never participated in actual naval warfare... But I have always tried to enable our fleet to be ready for combat preparation at any time, so on this basis, I have the right to declare that I have participated in actual combat. Commander of the fleet!
After the words were over, the whole face was shocked, and the red-faced lieutenant remembered the rookie second lieutenant named Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak. If it wasn’t for Lieutenant General Makarov and Major General Roger Stevensky to protect Golchak, I’m afraid there will be another bag in the Lapland Bay with pieces of military uniforms and pieces of meat. Downsizing an excellent naval expert, adventurer, shipbuilding expert, future fleet commander and even a fearless admiral.
It stands to reason that Kolchak, who is so hated by others, should learn a lot from this experience. Be aware that in addition to Lieutenant General Biliruov, there are many jealous and careful nasty ghosts in the army and government. They are very good at picking bones in eggs and are keen to engage in small movements behind others. In the future work and life, it is indispensable to deal with these people-the villain, a smooth attitude is no harm, in order to prevent them from being stabbed from behind by somebody at some time in the future, it is inevitable to do something unreasonable.
But Kolchak’s performance told the lieutenant general that this person was still so naive in the field outside the military, just like a baby. If he had a little political common sense, then he wouldn't have such a look, nor would he single out two Albian cruisers at this delicate time.
Really bad.
Lieutenant General Makarov whispered secretly, not only for the political naivety of his men, but also for the erroneous small war between the wrong time, the wrong place and the wrong opponent.
If it were not for these mistakes, Kolchak should have become a navy of the Principality, a fighting hero of the Principality. The official will publicize this naval officer who fully demonstrates the fearless offensive spirit of the bear family, promotion, medals, commemorative pictures, stamps on the head of the man... These will soon come to Kolchak. But the Principality does not need war now, so this conflict is nothing but trouble.
No, it still has a little value, at least for the development of naval tactics and technology, this battle can still play a positive role. Lieutenant General intends to dig out these valuable treasures, conduct research and then conduct experiments in the fleet ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If the effect is good, it can also be promoted throughout the navy. In order to achieve this, he called Kolchak, who was in trouble.
"Alexander Vasilyevich, I have read your report, but I still want to listen to some of the details. You said in the report that when you found the Albian cruiser, the other party was about 1000 meters..."
"900 meters, sir."
Kolchak corrected, his chin raised higher, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
"Don't worry about these details, I want to listen to specific things."
"Yes, sir."
Kolchak shrugged, and General Makarov, who was in a bad mood, leaned forward slightly, and put on a cold, business tone and asked:
"It's time to start, Captain Golchak, report on your conflict with the Royal Navy of Albion."
"Comply, General. Last night, my ship was ordered..." (To be continued...)
