Three Hundred and Sixty Six Misfortunes Never Come Singly
The red-eyed Destuca dive bomber roared down, immediately turning the deck of the already ruined Hermes aircraft carrier into an even more ruined existence. The Dapeng fighter jets that An Xin surrounded the Royal Ark aircraft carrier had no intention of going up to trouble the Stuka fleet. Looking at the f that has been pulled up to the clouds, waiting to dive down all the time, the British navy can't even arouse the interest of rescuing the drowning crew of the Hermes.
After losing the slightly old Hermes aircraft carrier, the speed of the British fleet became even lighter. And unexpectedly, the German fighter group also cooperated terribly, and had no intention of attacking the Ark Royal aircraft carrier at all, which also puzzled Fleet Commander Lawrence.
Could it be that the Germans were so kind and let go of the most advanced and largest aircraft carrier of the British Navy? Do you want to be so funny? But if it wasn't that the Germans let go of most of his fleet on purpose, how can this situation make sense now? Could it be that God is on the side of the Royal Navy again? You stand a bit late, don't you?
Of course, it was not that the German naval aviation deliberately let the British navy go, nor did God bless the British navy instead. In fact, in the command cabin of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, Lütjens was looking angrily at several of his proud men.
If Lawrence could hear Lütjens's furious curses, then the truth of the weird scene where the Stuka of the German Naval Air Force only attacked the burning Hermes would be revealed.
In fact, the German navy was busy killing the Quartet and regained its kingly demeanor during the day when the weather was fine. As a result, they were busy harvesting the fat that the British Navy sent to their door for a while, but things went wrong during the frequent take-off of carrier-based aircraft.
Because 0 torpedo attack aircraft with torpedoes have been dispatched, the German Navy, which made mistakes in its busy schedule, only dispatched the next 20 Stuka dive bombers to retain the British Navy's aircraft carrier fleet because of the tight deck.
It's a pity that although this decision saved the deck for the landing of the carrier-based aircraft that bombed the Hood battlecruiser, it also created a ridiculous situation-the f ammunition that originally took off to attack the British aircraft carrier fleet was not enough. The Stuka bomber group that arrived had enough ammunition and fuel, but because they didn't have an escort plane, they really didn't dare to trouble the Ark Royal.
As a result, very reluctantly, the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal, which had been firmly eaten by the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, just escaped from birth. And the German High Seas Fleet, which was capable and determined to eat up most of the British Navy, miraculously failed to complete the task.
But now for Lütjens, the record is already super rich. After his high seas fleet escaped overnight, he successfully counter-killed two battlecruisers of the Royal Navy and sank an aircraft carrier Hermes. For the British Royal Navy, which is already at a low morale, it is tantamount to worsening the situation.
Lütjens is even full of confidence. Even if he lets go of the Ark Royal, this time the return voyage is a sure thing. He seems to have seen the moment when he wears the rank of general,
Seems to have seen himself take the Knight's Iron Cross loaded with oak leaves from Yuan's palm.
If you count the two captured British cruisers, the German Navy has won a complete victory this time. The British Royal Navy seems to have handed over control of the sea, and even maintaining the defense near the English Channel has become a problem.
Germany, Berlin Yuan Mansion, Accador took over his long-awaited report from Syndra, listened to the waves of cheers outside the door, and raised the corner of his mouth to read the whole content.
He gently walked back to the desk, looked at Master August who was not in a good mood because of staying up late, as well as Chief of the Navy Chief of Staff Raeder and Marshal Brauchitsch with a smile, and his face was not very good. Raeder said, "What's the matter? Are you hungry after you haven't eaten?"
In fact, it is not to blame for Raeder's ugly face. Originally, the navy had fierce competition for the ownership of the command. With Yuan's support, Lütjens vaguely surpassed Raeder to become the number one in the navy. With another big victory this time, Raeder's life will be even more difficult.
Akado seemed to see through Raeder's thoughts, he laughed and ignored him, but looked at Master Augustus, saw that the master seemed to be dozing off and nodded in agreement, and then handed a box to his Admiral Raeder, his confidant.
Raidel opened the box and saw that he almost knelt down for Akado. In this small and slender box, there was clearly a blue gemstone inlaid around it, and Brauchitsch's red marshal's scepter. A very different cane. What is the purpose of handing this to him Raeder? If Raeder still can't figure it out now, then he won't be able to be the admiral.
If Raeder, the general, is still ranked behind Lütjens and Doenitz in commanding operations, then his political vision and loyalty make Akado very happy and very relieved. This admiral quickly stood in line when Akado was just rising, and handed over half of the navy's power to the current Yuan without hesitation. Compared with his cautious combat style, this admiral is really bold. From the aura of the dragon.
Now, Raeder knows his day is coming. Yuan, this is to bring an obedient dog to the stage, and sing a rivalry with the dominant Brauchitsch. Even if he knows that no matter how much he is blessed as a marshal, he is just an empty vase, but Raeder knows that this honor, even if it is just a small one, is enough for any admiral to honor his ancestors—isn’t it just to be an obedient dog? ? I, Raeder, is Yuan's dog! Whoever bares his teeth at Yuan, I will kill him!
"Long live the great emperor, Arkado? Rudolph!" Raedel quickly stood up holding the wooden box, and sang loudly to Akadoang. Brauchitsch on the other side seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The days when he was roasted on the fire by the old and young of the Junker nobles are finally over. It is not an easy thing to play against August, who has exhausted all the tricks in front of him, and Yuan, who is a genius in heaven. Now there is Raeder Being promoted to marshal is also a kind of love and protection Yuan Akado has for Brauchitsch. Without Raeder's promotion this time, Brauchitsch knew that he would have to resign and go home to retire after knowing that he would work for at most half a year.
Who wants to go home to retire at this time? It’s not too late for Junjun to take revenge for ten years. It took him twenty years to get ready to go. This blockbuster directly took the six countries of Behe, Bodan, Norway and France to sacrifice their battle flags. It is estimated that Paris, France will be in the bag in a month or so thing.
And the navy even pulled down the world's number one naval power, Britain, in one breath. It seems that landing in the UK at this great moment is no longer a dream on paper—whoever retires and goes home at this great time misses Germany? The chance to rise up and leave history, you probably won't be able to close your eyes even if you die, right?
So for Marshal Brauchitsch, the news that Raeder became admiral is not bad news. Although this marshal is not as valuable as unique, but he can continue to step on the position of the army chief of staff and wait for the victory, and he can repair the distrust between him and Yuan Akado. Undoubtedly it is a good deal.
At this time, Augustus seemed to wake up from his sleep. He stood up from the sofa with a stick on his palm, squinted his eyes and walked out with his back arched. While walking, he muttered in his mouth: "So For a big victory, we should call on that little girl, Fanny, and organize a celebration, so that the German people can enjoy themselves together. How many years have I been waiting for this prosperous world, old man? I can’t even count it..." If not, Akado couldn't hear clearly.
England, London, Prime Minister's House. Winston Churchill stared at the sub-report on the table with a bloodless face, and remembered an ancient oriental proverb - good fortune never comes twice, but misfortune never comes singly. One thing he can be sure of now is very simple, the Royal Navy is really over this time.
The first report was simple and clear: the Hood, the Reputation and other warships under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Holland of the United Kingdom who were chasing the German High Seas Fleet were all sunk. Only one major battleship of the German Navy, the Admiral Graf Spee, was sunk. Lieutenant General Holland, Colonel Cole and other officers died in battle.
If you die in battle, you will die in battle. Do you still have the face to live? For such a huge battle plan, it took advantage at the beginning and fell short in the end. How many people should be responsible for it? Churchill can't wait to arrest the relevant people one by one.
The second report is a bit interesting: the Royal Ark aircraft carrier escaped from danger, and Lieutenant Lawrence saved the British Navy's aircraft carrier fleet. At the expense of the Hermes aircraft carrier, the British Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier was kept. Worthy of Lawrence's rout.
Churchill sighed, and threw this report aside. In such a rout, a slightly brilliant performance could not save the overall failure of the British Navy. So what if the Ark Royal was saved? In the end, didn't he flee back in despair, not daring to fight again?
The first report was the last blow that made Churchill completely desperate: on the way back, the newly launched brand-new battleship Howe was attacked by a German submarine, ate 4 torpedoes in one breath and capsized directly, and only 19 of the more than 1,700 officers and men on the ship survived. people.
This is the true portrayal of the leaky house being rained overnight, and the boat being late and headwinded. This is the reason why Churchill submitted his resignation to His Majesty the King this morning-no accident, the British Royal Navy fell from the altar of the world's number one navy.
