Chapter 1176 Betty's Decision
"Are you sure there are only three battlecruisers?" Betty said, looking at the three German battlecruisers located to the north of her. The sea fog has not completely dissipated, but the main guns of the German fleet have fired, and the orange fireball clearly exposed the position of the three German battlecruisers. Farther to the northeast, is Thomas' Queen Elizabeth battleship.
"Our seaplane roughly surveyed the surrounding waters. There are no other warships within at least 15 kilometers. The main German fleet is besieging the other three Queen-class fast battleships. So far, they have not caught up." Said the officer.
"It seems that we need to maintain the face of the Royal Navy of the British Empire!" Betty looked at the four warships in the distance and quickly weighed the pros and cons. The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, and more beatings, then the actual combat experience is also rising! To be honest, Betty has a lot of actual combat experience. In the earliest battle of Helgeland Bay, Betty also successfully overshadowed the German fleet and sank several light cruisers. Then he entangled with the Hipper fleet several times in the British offshore waters. The ability is certainly there.
And after experiencing the Thunder-Surbrus battle. Betty, who has paid enough tuition fees, seems like those who have broken a certain limit and gained a soaring power, and have a nearly perceptual judgment of various dangers! Okay, it’s a little bit mysterious, but no matter what, Betty, who is known as the battlefield husky in later generations, accurately realized the subtlety of the battle, and even smelled the conspiracy scattered in the North Sea the first time he encountered the German light cruiser. taste!
"When did the German light cruiser be so unrestrained?!" After seeing the German light cruiser, Betty's first consideration was not to wipe the opponent out, but to consider whether there was a mouse trap behind this piece of cheese! Since the Battle of Helgeland Bay, the Germans used their light cruisers to be careful. Unless it is confirmed that the opponent is also a light cruiser, otherwise, the German light cruiser will not be so unrestrained without a big advantage. It may be like this, directly on the face of the battlecruiser, and found that the opposite is a tiger, and it is still dead. Holding on? There is a conspiracy in it!
Look up at today's weather again. It is morning and there is a layer of sea fog on the sea. In this case, the opponent must have calculated his own route at night to intercept the opponent, and the responsibility cannot be so accurate! Not long after dawn, the fleet was approaching the base, but before it fully entered the alert circle, it blocked itself! As for how the other party discovered himself, this issue is not discussed now! The knives are almost stabbed up, you still ask where to buy the knives? What do you think? !
Dispersing these destroyers is not a problem he is thinking about now. This can be handed over to the people below. Betty's first reaction at this time is that the German main battleship should be nearby! Looking at the current visibility, the distance between the avant-garde fleet and the battleship behind is definitely not far away. Under normal circumstances, the British avant-garde fleet and the battleship can be opened for 40 kilometers, but now, the maximum is about 20 kilometers, considering the bad weather. The combat distance is relatively close, and the time left for the British is calculated in minutes!
So, even though he doesn't know the situation of the other party, Betty, who feels he has been trapped, immediately intends to send a telegram to Thomas, asking Thomas to immediately release the smoke screen to cover the fleet's evacuation! The sad reminder is that at this time, a 175MM shell destroyed the Tiger’s radio antenna. So that the information was not sent at all. And if you want to use semaphore, it will take some time.
Every time after the war, Betty recalled what the British called the Battle of the Gulf of Forth, and said with sorrow that if the **** of war is fairer and Thomas receives this key telegram, then the war will definitely happen. What changes are so many. Even Betty took a look at how the British fleet was fighting back after the war, and gained quite a lot of fans.
However, only Betty and the commander on the Tiger at the time knew that even if this telegram was sent, it would be of no use. The reason is simple. Betty suggested that Thomas lead the fleet to break through to the northwest. However, in this direction, it is more powerful. The Scheer fleet has opened its net, waiting for you to come up...
After discovering that telling the boss to no avail, Betty feels that the dangerous steps are getting closer! What should Betty's nature do at this time? Naturally, run away! what? You said the Royal Navy does not have such a persuasive general? Please, are we restoring history? In the historical battle of Jutland, Betty’s battlecruisers didn’t slurp immediately after encountering the high seas fleet? Then, because the signal was a little slow, he almost killed Thomas.
Although Betty considers herself very fearless, after experiencing the Thunder-Surbrus battle, watching the British navy go from fearless to super fearless, a series of battleships from battlecruisers to battleships are easily hit by the opponent's large-caliber guns. It's impossible to be fired if you are not afraid! However, after being hit by a fire at close range by a light cruiser, Betty ordered the Tiger to temporarily evade, and the remaining light cruisers, the New Zealand behind him, attacked the German light cruisers.
According to Betty's memories, after less than ten minutes Hipper's fleet exchanged fire with Thomas' 5 Queen-class battleships! Betty is not sure if Hipper noticed him, but thankfully, Hipper didn't bother him. Maybe it was not found, maybe it was dismissive. But no matter what, Betty at this time really dare not look for the bad luck of the other party...
"When the outline of the German fleet appeared in the sea fog, I was almost stunned! That was at least 10 capital ships! When we put out the fire on the ship, the opponent had already launched the battle line and succeeded. Suppress the Thomas fleet! I can be sure that I have seen the Bavarian-class battleships, and I can be sure that there are the Mochi-class battlecruisers. I once thought that the main force of the German High Seas Fleet appeared in front of us! Believe me, if there is a chance, I must Will help the Thomas fleet, but unfortunately, in this case, we rushed to death!" In the battle report, Betty once again wrote bitterly.
But this time Betty’s heartache won the approval of most people, and even Jericho thought afterwards that it was reasonable for Betty to take the fleet to evacuate at this time. Otherwise, what else do you want? ! Do you think the delivery of the 5 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships is not enough? Two more battlecruisers? !
