The upright ship has a flat bow, a cruiser at the stern, and the German Navy’s Iron Cross Black Hawk Flag is responsible for raiding the fleet to support the first reconnaissance fleet. Two Devlinger-class patrol ships, a Seidlitz-class patrol ship and a Mao Qi-class patrol ship, the second reconnaissance fleet, four light cruisers and a destroyer detachment of the fifth destroyer set off an anti-submarine Z-line off the Thames and slowly headed south.
In April, Europe has always been a symbol of sunshine, and the warm season is evenly illuminated. The Luzov patrol the towering bridge, and Wang Haidi’s body is about to be mythologized by newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. The naval genius quietly closed his pocket watch with a telescope.
The gas seems to have solidified. The confidential staff of the first reconnaissance fleet behind Wang Haidi took a small step forward, waiting for vice admiral’s instructions. At this time, he should have stayed in the Berlin naval headquarters office to strategize, but he repeatedly squeezed the Luzov, the imperial naval minister, Rheinhardscher, carrying a cup of navy-specific espresso, and Wang Haidi flashed out from behind him to shoulder the bridge.
"In 179, I joined the Imperial Navy as a naval cadet for more than 30 years, and I lived with the German Navy. My neighbor, Y and N Ying, never imagined that one day German warships could block the British door and guns could bombard the place."
Looking at the guns rumbling and the flames blazing, the Thames Rhine-Hadscher’s face was red, and his face was full of excitement.
"General, I hope you don’t forget the agreement …" Wang Haidi winked at the Secretary of the Navy and made a drinking gesture.
The confidential staff couldn’t help laughing and Wang Haidi coughed lightly. When he turned around, he had recovered the elegance of a first-class commander who had experienced from the war.
"Command the British raid fleet out of contact to the main ocean fleet; The first and second reconnaissance fleet destroyer detachment gathered formation target … "
The second gun chapter echoed Portsmouth horn (2)
It turns out that it is difficult for large caliber naval guns to hit a flexible and mobile light warship accurately from a long distance, which is also the reason why the third reconnaissance fleet’s four dome cruisers were able to attack David Betty’s fast fleet with ultra-luxury firepower for nearly half an hour.
However, it is obvious that the mine-sweeping fleet is not as flexible as a light ship because of the small size of the light fleet and the serious steam loss caused by the aging of the hull
"Major, the hull of minesweeper 223 broke and we lost another minesweeper!" Without the protection of the command tower, the fragments of naval guns and water jets may wash away at any time. The bridge staff of the mine-sweeping ship with extremely low freeboard came over from the opposite port side with their military caps. The shocking news will be reported.
Major Martin Bowman frowned unconsciously, knowing that his mine-sweeping fleet had lost ten mine-sweeping ships, two officers and twenty-nine sailors were killed, but it was far from enough to supplement it. Major Bowman gritted his teeth and dragged the last reserve team back to six modified mine-sweeping ships. The problem is that the mine-sweeping fleet is too close to the British coastline for 13 kilometers, and even if Bowman is afraid of him, he will not recognize that he can face more than 60 artillery forces for ten minutes at a distance of 13 kilometers. "
"Let No.224 top!" Although the major looked resolute, there was already hesitation and sadness in his tone.
"Commander, we have a minesweeper that can be supplemented …" The young trainee staff officer’s pale face has been frightened of Se, but he didn’t object to the major’s suggestion with a German navy hat. He was faintly awakened.
Bowman has made up his mind that the staff will no longer say anything, bend over and stumble down the bridge gangway and walk towards the ship’s stern newspaper office. As soon as the trainee staff left the major’s tight face, Se collapsed and looked at the Thames in Wang Yang, which was about to become violent, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Commander Luzov is in a hurry!" The trainee staff officer who just disappeared from the gangway on the left side of the bridge climbed up again and excitedly waved his hand to Major Bowman to report that "the Luzov emergency mine-clearing fleet retreated to the north side of the open sea to move the ocean fleet to meet!"
This is the last words left by the trainee staff to the world. A 6-inch near-lost bomb exploded in the rear of the No.2 minesweeper, and a glowing shrapnel flew over and flattened the head of the young man who was caught off guard.

The No.4 auxiliary fortress method composed of sandbags, concrete and stones resists the bombardment of Caesar Frederick III naval gun. The angle and distance of the main fortress are 24 mm from the fifth reserve battleship team, and the No.4 fortress gun base is destroyed by name.
After a round of semi-main shelling, two 6-inch artillery fortifications disappeared. Lieutenant Colonel Taylor was almost desperate because there were only two 92-inch heavy artillery pieces, one was destroyed, and the remaining four 6-inch heavy artillery pieces and a large number of 6-inch artillery pieces were unbearable due to mechanical failure.
Waste and goods from the naval warehouse Se once again exploded on the surface of No.4 auxiliary fortress, which was violently shaken by the thick reinforced concrete protected area. The dust lifted up and several wisps of fine sand merged into a waterfall and a sand table.
"I hope that after my death, the land cultivated by German explosives can produce lonely but beautiful roses!"
Lieutenant Colonel Taylor is really tired of boiling frogs in warm water. He feels that he is leaning against the basement wall, and he is looking forward to the final heroic arrival earlier. However, the observation data of the No.4 auxiliary fortress and the coastal watchtower are enough to inspire news. For the time being, Britain has retained a respectable soldier.
"The Germans have retreated!" …,
Lieutenant Colonel Taylor let go of the microphone in his right hand and fell off his desk.
Taylor was a little surprised and confused. The German mine-clearing fleet was advancing very fast. If there was enough firepower to suppress them, they could get through the road to the heart of London before dark. In the artillery confrontation of the Fifth Battleship of the Auxiliary Fortress, the Germans took the advantage and it was difficult for the auxiliary fortress to lose. Although the German attack fleet is not strong enough to compete with the North Shore Fortress Group, the main force of the ocean fleet has already appeared. It takes more than an hour for seventeen capital ships to appear at the mouth of the Thames.
Na-class, Helgolan-class, Caesar-class and King-class are first-class warships that have been tempered by war. Five times the diameter of 2mm naval gun, five times the diameter of 35mm naval gun and 45 times the diameter of 35mm naval gun. These are well-known famous weapons and treasures, and they are the sharp swords of the ocean fleet that run across the North Sea.
A dense fleet of ships, such as forest guns and high-quality officers and sailors experienced in naval battles, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor denied that the Germans could be turned away with just a few 14-inch and 12-inch heavy guns, but the Germans actually retreated!

"Although the Germans created the tactics of flying planes and attacking mine clearance, the result of the battle will not exceed that of the National Defense Commission before the war. It is also confirmed that the German fleet chose to retreat."
At 12 o’clock sharp, the National Defense Commission, the highest military command body of the British wartime system, held an emergency meeting.
The so-called emergency meeting is nothing more than a meeting room with afternoon black tea logistics soldiers shuttling through the British Empire. Gentlemen exchanged their views on the weather in London with cigars for more than ten minutes before the meeting officially began.
The door of the conference room was opened, and Bonarau and Belfo, who had just unified their positions, came late. Two soldiers stood outside the door and saluted with guns. The new Prime Minister Bonarau was reserved and full of anger, but the Minister of the Navy Arthur Belfo was very polite.
"Gentlemen, blind optimism is not needed by the British Empire!"
Cloud a large number of retired or far away from the first line of the sea, the National Defense Commission has just made a prediction mistake, and Arthur Belfo has always been tough and scared, and it has been many years since the old man remembered to be angry and cold-grunted.
"Why didn’t the Germans retreat?"
"But the main force of the ocean fleet has arrived in the Thames!" Belfo walked to his seat, pressed the old conference table by hand and swept the field with sharp eyes. "Regardless of how the Germans dragged the damaged battleship out of the dock for repair in a month, it is the main force for us to deal with the ocean fleet department with hundreds of large-caliber naval guns!"

After two naval political storms, Kaiser Wilhelm’s understanding of its fleet dynamics may not be better than that of the British Imperial newspaper department. It was true that the emperor didn’t get the broken news until two hours after the oceanic fleet was dispatched.
The angry emperor ended the hunting in Danzig jungle at twelve o’clock sharp. The emperor’s special train came from East Prussia and slowly entered the Berlin train.
Greeting William zhèng fǔ incarnation officials and officers made a small move on the eastern front and marched triumphantly. The senior officers of the army held their heads high in front of the emperor, and the senior officers of the navy were slightly combed. The senior officers of the navy were deliberately left behind by the emperor’s single-handed cabinet minister, General Heeringer, who was deliberately unremarkable. He never wanted to wear a marshal army without epaulettes. As soon as Emperor William got off the train, he asked the secretary of the navy where he was going.
"Bateman, my prime minister, where did you hide my secretary of the navy?" The emperor walked on crutches to decorate the luxurious royal train and played a joke on Bateman Hollwich.
The army’s face is a little ugly. You know, three regiments and millions of troops on the eastern front have just launched a campaign in Galicia to weaken Russia in the Balkans and force Russia to withdraw from the war, while the emperor’s attention is still on the navy
Bateman is also a little strange. Marshal Schell, the secretary of the navy, has no reason not to meet the imperial emperor by train. The prime minister turned his head and looked at the naval officer and looked at him for a moment, then he realized something.
"Marshal Schell went to sea with the first reconnaissance fleet!" A naval officer crustily skin of head small explained
The pent-up mood has reached a critical point. The Kaiser Wilhelm Hu shivered slightly and unconsciously dragged a long tone, "Where is the Minister of the Navy of our cabinet?"
General Xiaoheilingen can no longer hide in the crowd, and the minister of the navy cabinet, who is regarded as the close minister of the emperor, stepped forward and paid William a standard knighthood.
