Chapter 385: Tragic

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
"We can't just sit back and die, we should send the navy to teach the self-righteous French!" A British naval officer shouted at the table and shouted: "The world's fourth navy can't say anything to the Germans, otherwise Britain is over! "
An old officer drew his eyes down, but the tone was exactly the same: "The British empire is now hanging on the line, and the group of officers and masters, regardless of the country ’s safety, pushed behind the waves and asked our navy to fight as soon as possible to restore the defeat ... We are under pressure. This time we are fighting, there is a problem with the German navy, is there a problem with the French navy? "
Churchill took it seriously on the one side. Since the German navy could not be beaten, it should be no problem to attack the French navy? If even the French navy could not be beaten, the British would not have to struggle anymore, and the death would be over.
Driven by this idea, Churchill strongly agreed with the plan to attack the French navy and prevent French warships from falling into the hands of the Germans. Although this plan is now being questioned by many naval generals and another part of politicians in the discussion.
Now he ca n’t speak casually because the British navy has almost lost all his family members under his leadership, so he now orders which side is completely unsatisfactory. The side he supports may not be sympathetic, he opposes There will be sneer and sarcasm over there. So Churchill felt that he should be a man like Jesus, just listening and never talking.
Sure enough, before Churchill had spoken, there was a voice of opposition, and a weighty general in the navy questioned: "We are now struggling under the threat of the German navy, and then attack one to remain neutral. The French navy is an extremely unwise act! If the French navy is pushed to the German side, our life will be really bad. "
"But who dares to confirm that the declaration of maintaining navy neutrality in France is true? Who dares to say it is true? If the French navy used procrastination tactics and eventually fell to Germany at the most critical juncture, wouldn't we be more passive?"
"This is indeed a problem, even if the French navy really only wants to remain neutral now, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will fall to the German navy because of changes in the situation some day in the future." A minister nodded. "This is not impossible." , But definitely will! "
"Indeed, although the old fox of Beitant betrayed France and stood on the side of the Germans, he had to say that he did give us a great problem in Britain." Another minister nodded and said, "He let half France is almost out of the war, and now we have to consider the future direction of these half of France. "
"Now we are partially losing money, but we still have some advantages overall. At this time, it is definitely not good news for the French to remain neutral. Once we lose again or suffer some small losses, these French troops will immediately react. This kind of uncertainty is too fatal for us. "The second old officer who spoke was still in that tone, but this time it was a bit less angry.
"No more hesitation, since we are not going to accept the variables, then we will simplify the current situation." The Secretary of the Navy glanced at Churchill, who had promoted himself to this position, and had to stand up and speak for his boss: " Send out the navy, sneak attack on the French port, and sink the French navy into the military port! "
...
Watching the sunken Malayan stand on the deck of the Royal Navy's Royal Ark, staring at the four hurricane fighters newly added to the carrier, he sighed and shook his head.
He watched the sinking of the Malaya, he watched the sinking of the Eagle, he watched the sinking of the Baram, and he watched the sinking of the Brave. The opponent was numb by teasing.
In the last battle, the Royal Ark lost almost all the swordfish attack aircraft, and lost most of the Dapeng fighters. This was barely running back to the British mainland with the lost soldiers. As a result, the loss of dozens of naval fighter pilots is now The method supplements that the output of the new fighter plane is completely unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Liao Shengyu added 4 aircraft, but at the same time only barely added 2 pilots. The combat capability of the Royal Ark was at most only about half of the victory. If you think about the almost annihilated swordfish attack aircraft unit, the Royal Ark is now a battleship with no offensive capability.
A few days ago I watched the battleship Revenge, which was hit by a German plane and fleeing back to the port with thick smoke. George had lost the sorrow that he had, and just watched a corpse being lifted off the battleship. Maintenance personnel went up one by one. In order to avoid the blast of the warship's ammunition depot, the Avengers even put water into the ammunition depot to avoid the sinking crisis.
If you count the aircraft carrier Glory, which was slightly injured by the German navy, it is only the battle of the English Channel. The large main warships that have been sunk and injured have already approached ten. The British navy can now get it right. There are only a few lucky ones left.
This time, another combat mission was issued, and the entire harbor was busy again. Many warships were being renovated, including the battleship King George V, the battleship Determination, the aircraft carrier USS Wrath, and the carrier Royal Navy Ark. All have to fight, this time can be said to be the first time the British Navy has emboldened and dared out of the nest since the last fiasco.
The whistle on the ship was rang, and George picked up his thoughts and climbed up the bridge stairs that scared him a little. The polished leather shoes kicked on the hollow iron staircase and made a good sound, but in George's heart, it was like a hammer hitting his heart.
Since when did you become afraid of going to sea? Since when did the Royal Navy deploy warships with a tragic atmosphere? Since when did the warships of the Royal Navy cease to be invincible? Since when did dozens of warships leave the harbour suffocating and trembling?
The hero is late? Or is the general trend gone? George shook his head, distracted the uneasiness in his mind, pushed open the heavy armored gate of the bridge, walked into the combat command room, and stood beside Captain Lawrence.
"George, I heard that 14 of your men have applied to be transferred to the destroyer fleet?" Lawrence asked with one hand stroking the high-powered telescope on his chest and one hand holding the chart table.
"Yes." George nodded and responded concisely. After all, he is already one of the important officers on the Royal Ark aircraft carrier of the rank of major. If he says more or less, he will have many influences. So he now speaks simply and clearly. This good habit used to satisfy Lawrence.
But now Lawrence seems to want to say a few more words, so he looked at George and said: "The world has changed. Everyone used to dig into the battleship, because this is the best way to promote or save life, compared to destroyers. Come, at that time the battleship was stronger and less likely to sink ... "
He sighed helplessly, and said again before George opened his mouth: "It is different now, and now we are trying our best to upgrade to the destroyer or cruiser ... because the Germans rarely deal with destroyers when they do not hit the battleships and aircraft carriers. Start. Every time a battle comes down, only one destroyer of a fleet can return. "
"General, we are going to attack this time, and our opponent is a Frenchman. I don't think there will be any more accidents?" George thought about it, and then said comfortingly: "You know, the German navy is still afraid to go south into France. In the waters, we sneaked into French ports and returned to Liverpool ... "
"The news just came. Look at it yourself." Lawrence handed a document to George with a helpless look: "We haven't started the action yet, the shadow of the German has been over our heads. Go up. "
George took a closer look at the document, and his eyes immediately glared, because the document said abruptly: Nearly 100 German bombers attacked Liverpool, destroyed the port and the dock, and the hull of an aircraft carrier under construction was completely bombed. Destroyed in the shipyard, there was also a cruiser that was too late to escape.
This is the third consecutive day, and nearly 100 bombers patrol British airspace every day. Since areas such as Dunkirk were taken over by the Germans, the fighter jets taking off there could easily enter London airspace, and Germany no longer had to deploy limited strategic bombers to participate in the bombing of London.
Now the German bombers performing bombings in London and nearby airport cities have been replaced by nearly 500 Do-217 medium bombers, so the bombing density is greater, the number of bombs is greater, and the scale is more terrifying. Today, London is in flames every day, and countless treasures of human architectural art have been destroyed. Big Ben collapsed in the bombing on February 1st, and a member of the British royal family was injured in the disaster relief process.
Compared with the German Air Force's blossoming on all sides and being proud of itself, the British Air Force's bomber force is synonymous with bad luck. In several bombing missions, there was no return. The loss rate of bomber pilots was even greater than that of fighter jets, up to 97% of the terror. The intelligence sent back by British spies showed that the German air defense forces used radar, a new type of equipment, combined with anti-aircraft artillery and fighter jets, and formed an airtight air defense network in the country. It is no wonder that the British Air Force suffered heavy losses.
Under such a background, the British Royal Navy's local fleet went out to sea and slowly drove towards its own goal.
