Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The current formation of the Allied fleet has been chaotic. Almost half of the warships are fighting each other, and the remaining half of the warships are desperately covering the half of each battle. The wounded warship was ordered to leave the fleet, and the fire was burning and hopelessly struggling on the sea.
The fire and sinking of the carrier Carlisle undoubtedly caused inestimable losses to the Allied fleet. These losses were not only due to the loss of air defense aircraft, but also from the attacks on the morale of the Allied navy.
"The captain of the Carlisle has ordered to abandon the ship. Fortunately, there are not many carrier aircraft remaining on the ship. When hit, there are 9 remaining." The adjutant reported to his chief with some luck. News of the sinking of the US carrier Carlisle: "The cruiser Liverpool is trying to come over, but in front of him is the battleship Ramirez being attacked, which may take longer."
"No time! Anson, what we lack most now is probably time!" Dudley Pound watched anxiously as his fleet was attacked by German aircraft. He finally knew why Churchill, who was born as a Navy secretary, would experience the English Channel. The battle was fiasco. The pattern of naval warfare had changed at that time, and ridiculously, he still adhered to the glorious tradition of a bunch of shit.
The long-range carrier-based aircraft can easily tear apart the seemingly sturdy battleships beyond the line of sight. The bombs that can be mounted on those slender aircraft make all the large ships at sea desperate. Human society will develop, and weapons will also progress. The weight of carrier-based aircraft is increasing, and the power of engines is getting higher and higher. The performance of these aircraft will obviously be better and better.
On the other hand, bombs will become more and more sophisticated due to the progress of chemistry and other sciences, but their power will become larger and larger. Those bombs and torpedoes will produce even more amazing destructive effects.
But what about the seemingly powerful warships? No matter how much armor these battleships increase, it cannot change the fact that ships need to float on the water. So the thickness of the steel plate is difficult to change with time. The defense power of the battleship has almost come to an end, but the attack power of the weapon is far from
Therefore, the future naval warfare has quietly changed the model. The era of large ships and giant artillery will end, and the era of carrier-based aircraft carriers will begin. It is a pity that the Germans and Americans are ahead of the world in this respect, but the British are not visible in the first echelon.
One hundred years of glory, one hundred years of undefeated mythology, the glory brought to the British Royal Navy and strong beliefs, the accumulated heritage and accumulated experience make this navy well-trained and amazingly powerful; but the same Yes, a hundred years of time also left obsolescence and decay to this navy, making this navy unable to show courage in the changes of the times and taking steps to go in the right direction.
"Our glory is no longer there." Dudley Bond stood beside the porthole and sighed quietly before changing his expression. He shook his head and said firmly to himself: "No! It's not that our navy has lost The glory of the past, but I lost the fearless Nelson spirit myself! "
He felt that his timid war had led to the present situation. In order to save the current decline, he must cheer up, play the fighting spirit of Nelson, and use brave and strong faith to fight for a great victory for the British Royal Navy. .
"God! Please bless me! Please bless the British Empire! If this war we can finally win, then I Dudley Bond, I will insist on the development of naval aviation, no longer make stupid mistakes!" Unconsciously , Dudley Pound prayed in a pessimistic mood, he hoped to seize any trace of hope that might win, even the gods.
Then he looked at the staff behind him and said the following command: "Let the fleet turn again! Then it will advance at full speed! Target the German high seas fleet, heading to the east!"
"General! Didn't the steering action we just took in vain?" The staff looked at his general with some doubt: "The fleet is very prone to chaos in this repeated order."
"I know! I know! Anson!" Dudley Bond also felt that his orders were too inconsistent, but he had just resolved his contradictory thoughts, and of course had to issue another inconsistent order: " But in this case, we have to rely on battleships to find our rhythm slightly. "
The staff did not have a head to convey the order, but continued to persuade: "My excellency! My honour, my duty makes me have to remind you that you are using the entire fleet to risk Germany. There is also a battleship like the Scoundrel. The Mires is not necessarily capable of defeating the German battleship. The Ramirez was built in 1917. The German battleship is at least 15 years younger than it. "
"I know! But we still have heavy cruisers and Queen Elizabeth. As long as we can disrupt the Germans, the scoundrel and the Nelson, we have a chance to create miracles!" Dudley Bond looked at himself Under his staff, he said firmly: "We should not hesitate anymore, it will make us forget Nelson's spiritual fight! We must fight! This is everything for us, isn't it?"
"General! You persuaded me" the staff made a salute, and then said to Dudley Bond: "But our orders may anger the Americans, but I think we still have to try as much as possible, at least because of German, suffer a little bit! "
"Signal to all the submarines nearby, and our real reinforcements may be coming soon!" Of course, Dudley Bond is well prepared. If he really only relied on two fleet aircraft carriers, his old fox, It will not expose its fleet to the threat of the German high seas fleet.
"Is this British commander crazy?" The captain of the USS Franklin carrier looked at the order in front of him, sneered and dropped the telegram under his feet: "He has issued four orders to change course! Does he think he is playing with a wheelbarrow? Which way do he want to push?
"He messed up the fleet by himself! But now we still have to drag us to die together?" Another American officer shouted angrily with his hands on his back, "We have lost nearly 100 fighter jets." He is still thinking about whether we should charge or should we run away? Does the Britons have any smarter people to serve as their naval commanders? "
The captain of the United States shook his head, and then satirized: "God! Our generals should have known that since the time when the British were defeated in Washington, there was no better military commander in the United Kingdom than the United States! But this The fools turned over our fleet to the British for command of the so-called allied relations. "
"So, Captain, are we going to carry out the orders of the British?" The officer, who had long been angry, asked.
"Keep the route! Let the British command go to hell!" The American captain waved his hand: "Telegraph the British, saying that because of the serious loss of the aircraft, we will keep the original route and give them the back of the fleet!"
So the entire fleet immediately became a mess. The American ships maintained their original course and almost broke up the British fleet. The British fleet was interfered by the US Navy and it was difficult to complete the steering. There were not many formations at all.
What's more, when the steering was completed, the fourth batch of German attack aircraft was still on top of the Allied fleet. These German aircraft had no compassion, and by the chaos of the Allied forces, sunk a destroyer and two cruisers. The Royal Ark was also hit for the first time during the steering process, but hardly caused any substantial damage.
"This group of American bastards! What are they thinking about at this time? Are they with the Germans? Hell!" The staff was excited when the American fleet maintained its original northbound route. Scolded. Of course he knew exactly what disaster the Americans had brought to the entire fleet. The loss of British ships skyrocketed directly because of the Americans ’decision.
"Don't be so excited to open some, at least they didn't shoot at us." Dudley Pound sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let the fleet restore the formation as much as possible, cover each other and don't flinch! Our reinforcements immediately As it comes, the victory will still belong to our British Navy after all! "
As he said these words, two German Stuttgars rushed down the clouds one after the other and aimed the torpedo at the side of a British Navy cruiser. They adjusted their position and then at a very close distance On the trip, two torpedoes were thrown into the sea. Then the two planes pulled away and left the battle.
Soon, the torpedo hit his target, and a British cruiser was hit hard. The warship's speed slowed down suddenly, and a huge explosion even pulled off part of its deck. The seawater directly poured into the big hole on the side, submerging one chamber after another.
"General! The Germans' fifth batch of attack aircraft has arrived!" The news was just received, and the staff handed over to Dudley Pound a report that made people laugh. Obviously the Germans come faster, and they come more and are more deadly!
However, the second officer then ran into the bridge command room and shouted with dancing: "The radar on the other side of the fleet has responded! It is our reinforcements! The reinforcements are here!"
The second correction is working hard, please be patient, it is estimated to be released around 0
