On the third day after the end of the battle, the report of the war prepared by Kuhl and Thomas was finally sent back by telegram, and on the morning of the fourth day, a copy of the telegram was delivered to the desks of Fisher, First Sea Lord, and Churchill, Admiralty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and after carefully reading the contents of the document, the two decided to have a meeting.

"I can smell a strong smell of decay in this telegram." Fisher was as mean as ever. "The article is full of words that shirk responsibility, and there are also vague complaints about the Navy's warships. They met the German fleet, but were repulsed by the Germans! Our most advanced warship was actually repulsed! It's a shame! I think Thomas, or maybe some of the people on the battleship, have an unshirkable responsibility! ”

Sir Fisher was not very good-tempered, in fact, after the Battle of the Dogle Sandbank, in history, in addition to dumping the pot on Rear Admiral Moore, he also blamed the captain of the Tiger, Perry, and the captain of the guns and others for being cowards! Well, there is some truth to the latter, because the accuracy of the Tiger is really worse. And now, Jazz himself has a distrust of Thomas's war report, and a large part of it is due to his confidence in the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship!

"Now there is very little intelligence, we still have to wait, I think, as the commander of the Grand Fleet, Commander Jericho should have also seen this telegram, I hope he can analyze this naval battle from the point of view of naval technology." Churchill was more pertinent. Churchill did not come out of the fleet or served in the fleet like Sir Fisher and Jericho. He didn't know much about naval technology, so he wanted to hear more people's opinions.

"Alright then, we can talk about it later, waiting for more intel and Jericho's arrival." Sir Fisher could not have left Jericho out.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jericho had already arrived in London, and in the conference room of the Admiralty, the assessment of this naval battle had officially begun. At the beginning, Sir Fisher spent nearly fifteen minutes accusing Thomas and others of negligence and dereliction of duty, while emphasizing that the telegram was really a cover-up!

"First of all, I need to emphasize that, judging by the current situation, the battleships Queen Elizabeth and Balim have indeed been hit hard, very hard! Just now, judging from the news sent from the port, the Queen Elizabeth has been pumped out of nearly 2,500 tons of seawater, but the drainage work is still not over. Both Baliem and the Queen have a record of their turrets and main armor belts being penetrated. Jericho spoke eloquently.

"And then what do you want to say? They deserve to fail?! Sir Fisher said angrily.

"At least, judging by the information coming from the ports and the fleet at the moment, the German fleet is very strong! Their artillery is powerful and well-trained. This is an objective fact, we can improve our tactical level through training, but we must not reduce the opponent's hit and artillery power. Jericho said mercilessly.

"In addition, two German battleships were also seriously wounded, which is supposedly evidenced by photographs and testimonies of those who took part, and Thomas assured that the two German battleships would not cause us any more trouble in a short time. I think that in terms of effect, General Thomas has achieved some success, and the reason why he did not solve the problem completely may be simply due to a lack of luck. ”

"Hehe, lack of luck?! I think the Admiralty should set up an independent investigative body to investigate this matter thoroughly! Sir Fisher said.

"Whatever. There is nothing wrong with General Thomas's plan, if you want to investigate, you can investigate, I don't care about it, but what about now? I wonder what the two of you think about the next battle in the Indian Ocean? Jericho asked.

It's easy to find a problem, but it's too hard to solve it. If you want to check the responsibility of others, this thing can be done by everyone, and others can find out something without ...... responsibility. But if we are to continue to solve the problems of the Indian Ocean, this is not something that can be said casually. And in the current situation, neither Fisher nor Churchill can come up with a realistic plan.

Whether it is Fisher or Churchill, they all know that if you want to completely solve the Su-Xiong fleet, I am afraid that it will not work by relying on Thomas alone, it is not that you can't beat it, but you can't find ....... If you want to find an opponent as soon as possible, you have to send more warships, and now it is really unrealistic to draw warships from the Grand Fleet......

How to draw the fleet again? Betty's 5 battlecruisers are now playing hide-and-seek with Hipper. In the past two months, Hipper has been to the British coast at least 5 times, and the two sides have met 3 times! Then the Germans told the British what it meant to be a surging power ....... Hipper's fleet was able to successfully turn in front of Betty again and again, and the lion and tiger princess could naturally catch up with the opponent, but General Moore's New Zealand and indomitable were left behind 108,000 miles away.

Once, Betty's first battle cruiser formation easily bit Hipper, and then the two sides exchanged two times, and then Betty felt that the 3 battle cruisers really couldn't beat the 5 ....... The front deck of the Lion was opened by 1 hole and the Tiger by 2 holes. At that time, Hipper's mind was hot and he wanted to turn around and beat Betty, but when he looked at the hurried Harwich fleet and the airship, he reported that the whereabouts of the British fleet had been found in the northeast direction, and Hipper could only choose to run away.......

And the situation at that time was like this, there was indeed a British fleet in the northeast, but this fleet was a former dreadnought fleet, and Hipper, under the conditions of his own actions, naturally did not dare to bet on whether this new fleet was super dreadnought of the British. Operation Hipper was not followed by the Grand Fleet, because if the Grand Fleet was frequently dispatched, then the Jericho fleet would naturally not be indifferent. Therefore, to make the British feel the pressure, and at the same time not to lead out the Grand Fleet, this needs to be well grasped.

Betty is not a fool, and she can naturally be reckless when she has a good hand. Then he has a reputation for being tough and brave in battle, but if the situation is not good, or when he thinks the odds are not good, he also knows the trade-offs, for example, in history, Betty asked for Thomas's fleet to be allocated to him before the Battle ......of Jutland, because he was worried about what to do if something happened. And as it turned out, Betty really did the right thing this time, and then easily tricked Thomas--!
