Chapter seven hundred and thirteen British and German reactions

It's a pity that Sheffield feels so powerful, but he can't tell his own woman. He can only beat the drum for the Germans in the name of rectifying his origins, and encourage the Germans to go all out to find a decisive battle with the British Royal Navy.

The advantage of this, of course, is that not long after it surpassed the French Navy, it had already overtaken the Japanese Navy and the American Navy.

The British and German navies are now close in strength. If the Germans are inspired by this naval battle and insist on causing trouble for the British Royal Navy, the beneficiary will of course be the United States.

This is also good for the slave owners. No matter what kind of rhetoric is used to package it, it is an indisputable fact that the Ottoman Eighth Army he pulled up is now fighting fiercely with the British and Indian Army in Kuwait.

What if the British Royal Navy, like history, maintained its relative advantage until the end of the war, came to its senses and liquidated him? Although Sheffield could take advantage of the Royal Navy's absence in the Indian Ocean to call himself the first navy in the Indian Ocean, but he knew that was not the case.

Really, given the tradition of the United States never fighting a strong enemy, it is still unknown whether it can be cold-blooded towards the British.

But if the British and the Germans fought at sea and both sides would lose, the matter would be saved. Even in the end, the United States had to shout twice to join the war, and the exhausted British did not liquidate them.

The power of.

Now the British Royal Navy has suffered heavy losses. Sheffield believes that once the Germans discover this, naval battles will occur one after another, because the navy is a stock service. Destroyers cannot defeat cruisers, and cruisers cannot defeat battleships. Once this kind of steel is piled up,

The advantage of standing up has disappeared. Will the Germans wait for the British to regain their strength?

The warships that are still under construction on the British window sill will return to the same posture as before this naval battle as soon as three months pass. The Germans will not understand that if they want to break the British naval blockade, they must launch the first wave within half a year.

The Second Great War?

Once the Germans missed the current window and the battleships were launched on the slipways of the British shipyards, the truth was that the New York Daily News said the German fleet attacked its prison guards, but was still imprisoned.

Sheffield must immediately refute the erroneous assertion of the New York Times and clearly point out that the Battle of Jutland was indeed a heavy loss for the British Royal Navy. It has entered a state of balance with the German Navy. Even if its maritime hegemony is not in jeopardy, there are obvious cracks. Encourage the German Navy

The second adventure was to stab each other with the British Royal Navy.

The New York Daily's rebuttal article came out immediately. The officers of the Navy Department were inspired by the money doctrine. They were interviewed in front of the editor-in-chief of the New York Daily and wrote a professional article that was impeccable at least in front of the citizenry. They believed that the British Empire had arrived.

At the most dangerous time in the past three hundred years, maritime hegemony is already in jeopardy.

"We must worry about explaining that Britain is an island country. The sea is an important part of the Germans, but it is the life of the British. Once the German navy destroys the British Royal Navy, Britain's world hegemony will collapse. And the Germans

Then we can defeat the Franco-Russian alliance surrounding us on land."

The New York Daily criticized the New York Times' misleading article with increasingly fierce rhetoric. It listed the existing capital ships of the British and German navies, indicating that the relationship between the prison and the prison guard was definitely not that of a prison. The Battle of Jutland was at least half a year away.

It has a huge impact on the security of the British mainland.

The two major newspapers in New York started a fierce war of words over the aftermath of the Battle of Jutland. The New York Times emphasized, "Don't underestimate the long tradition of the Royal Navy."

In response to this, the New York Daily News' headline was, "Speak politely and don't always list out data, you will have no friends." This is a satire that the New York Times has become so subjective that it does not believe in data.

"William, Britain is already like this, so stop instigating it." Little Morgan came to the door and explained helplessly, "The British are full of anger now. There is no need for you to attract firepower like this."

"The British are still besieging my territory now? Fortunately, the Indians are not good at fighting!" Sheffield said lazily, "You still want to cause trouble for me? It's a joke. Now the British can make the Germans not cause trouble for them.

Victory, by the way, the Secretary of War will watch the airship brigade launch drill next month, do you want to watch it?"

Sheffield has always had a clear understanding of the value of the Persian Gulf territory, and will fight if he offends the British. Now that he has fought, he will find ways to cause more trouble for the British, so that even if the Allies win in the end, the British will not cause trouble for him.

ability.

The worst case scenario is that Sheffield will return to Arlington from now on and hide there for several years without being able to come out. He is not a curious person, so he doesn’t believe what the British can do to him?

"Okay, let's not talk about this issue for now. I heard that the federal government is preparing to intervene in Mexico for the second time." Little Morgan asked. Now that the Democratic Party is in power, Sheffield is obviously better informed.

"Yes, the airship brigade will also be put into the Mexican battlefield. I also heard that General Pershing commanded the intervention army!" Sheffield scratched his scalp and said, "I agree with this. Mexico is too far away from Texas.

It’s getting close, and we should do everything we can to weaken it. If my mercenaries hadn’t been able to come back in the Middle East, I would have definitely asked John and the others to kill the northern part of Mexico into a no-man’s land. Only when everyone is dead can we temporarily feel safe.”

"I just pretended not to hear." Little Morgan said noncommittally. The nature of a slave owner is not something ordinary people can see.

Sheffield does not hide this. He has no sympathy for any ethnic group in the world today. He has been able to live from thousands of years ago to the present, and his hands are more or less stained with blood. Now the Assyrians are in the Middle East

When people were suppressed, everyone stepped in to step on them, but what about when the Assyrian Empire still existed?

Just seeing today that slave owners dared to pluck the beard of the British Empire and Britain banned the import of agricultural products, he didn't say anything when he said nothing? Who thought about his feelings when he knelt for three consecutive elections in support of the Democratic Party?

When the United States was engaged in a war of words over the gains and losses of Britain and Germany, the two protagonists involved in the naval battle were also in the aftermath of the storm. Sheffield helped the Germans across the Atlantic Ocean, but it could only play a role.

The key to the auxiliary role depends on whether the Germans themselves feel the hope of breaking through the naval blockade through this naval battle.

There is really a situation that Sheffield did not expect, and that is unrestricted submarine warfare! Historically, the German navy had no hope of breaking through the naval blockade. After the Battle of Jutland, Reinhardt Scheer, commander of the German High Seas Fleet, bluntly stated

It was shown to Kaiser Wilhelm II that the Grand Fleet alone could not force Britain out of the war.

Emphasizing that unrestricted submarine warfare is indispensable, even if the United States eventually joins the war, it must be implemented. Only by keeping the British mainland and Germany in the same blockade can the two countries be on the same basis without access to external supplies.

inflow.

In this Battle of Jutland, the German High Seas Fleet only sank one battlecruiser, and captured two British battlecruisers and twelve other warships. The 30,000 tons sunk could be replenished instantly and still be earned. On the contrary,

Only the battlecruiser HMS Invincible of Betty's fleet escaped, and the Royal Navy lost nearly 300,000 tons.

In Reinhardt Scheer's report to Wilhelm II, there will naturally be no paragraphs about unrestricted submarine warfare. Since the decisive battle of the Grand Fleet can be achieved, who will pay attention to submarines?

"Your Majesty, the current window is only half a year. There are still some powerful warships on the slipways of major British shipyards that are about to be launched. We must seize this opportunity." Reinhardt Scheer was not arrogant.

He knew that as of now, the British Royal Navy is still stronger than the German Navy.

But this is already good. At least we have seen the hope of breaking the British maritime hegemony. It turned out that there was no hope at all. Although several battleships of the High Seas Fleet were seriously damaged, the injuries were not sunk. Now that we have successfully returned to

At the military port, there will be a day when we can leave the port again.

In turn, the British Betty fleet was completely wiped out and buried at the bottom of the North Sea. This loss cannot be made up for.

"In the coming year, many generals and citizens are looking forward to the end of the war and the German soldiers to win the final victory." William II was silent for a long time, and said such words that made Reinhardt Scheer himself

Savor it carefully.

Since the Sarajevo incident, the war has been going on for more than a year. Not only the Germans, but also other participating countries are looking forward to the end of the war.

The British were also looking forward to this, but the sudden defeat in the Battle of Jutland left everyone who learned about it stunned. The British Royal Navy would actually be defeated? This was something they had never thought about.

For a time, angry British citizens hoped that the cabinet could give an explanation as to the reasons for the failure of the Battle of Jutland. Many of the angry targets were pointed at John Jellicoe, the commander of the British Home Fleet.

There is no reason for incompetence and rage. As the commander of the Grand Fleet, Admiral John Jellicoe, he instantly felt that he was being targeted. But in fact, this matter had nothing to do with him. It was a mistake in London's intelligence that led the British Royal Family to

The navy was failing.

Cabinet members, including Lord Admiralty Churchill, simply knew the inside story of the defeat. It was the Germans who discovered the leak of the radio code, and in turn planned the well-prepared ambush, which caught the Royal Navy off guard.

This responsibility should not be borne by John Jellicoe himself, so amidst the public outrage, the Prime Minister and the Admiralty Minister came forward one after another, saying that this was not the fault of the admirals, but a trap carefully designed by the cunning Germans. Now
