When they received the third telegram from the Far East Group, the British and German diplomats were secretly laughing before reading the telegram, because they were all thinking at the time that Li Ningyu didn't know that he had eaten wrongly this time.
What kind of medicine did it bring about self-humiliation time and time again? But after they saw clearly the content of the message, they were all frightened and turned blue and purple.
Because the Far East Group actually demanded that Britain and Germany immediately cease fire in the North Sea, otherwise the maritime war between the two countries would affect the Far East Group's ocean-going ship freight, and the Far East Navy would protest to both countries unceremoniously.
The diplomats of Britain and Germany naturally did not dare to delay such a telegram. After sending it to the two heads of state for reading, Edward VII and William II could no longer laugh because they had already read between the lines.
Li Ningyu’s murderous intent.
If the Germans taught the British a profound lesson in the Battle of Jutland on the first day, then at this moment, Li Ningyu's message is undoubtedly saying that you two will fight no matter what.
Go home and rest! In the North Sea region of Europe, it is not your turn to dictate.
At this time, Edward VII and William II were completely stunned by Li Ningyu, but after all, both of them were the overlords of one party and the supreme heads of the major European powers, so they immediately learned from their country's naval department about the Far East Navy's presence in the North Sea.
Case.
The first day of the Battle of Jutland was a tragic victory for the British Navy. It taught them many lessons, the most profound of which were three points:
The first is the strategic missteps made by the Navy Headquarters. This is mainly because the final strategic decision-makers of Britain and Germany, Edward VII and William II, have always been influenced by old military ideas for a long time. They both believe that decisive battles between naval fleets are the only way to achieve success.
It is the most reliable and simplest way to gain control of the sea.
Therefore, before the Battle of Jutland, both the navies of the two countries, in terms of equipment construction and naval organization and training, regarded annihilating the enemy's main fleet in a decisive battle as the highest means to ultimately achieve the goal of the war, so they did not hesitate to
Spend huge sums of money to build and train a huge fleet of battleships.
After the outbreak of the World War, the intentions of both sides were exactly the same. They were both trying to find the most powerful fighter planes and an opportunity for a decisive battle between the large fleets, and both wanted to achieve this decisive victory. However, after more than two years, the British
The decisive battle of the Grand Fleet was reached only between the two navies of Germany.
In this way, at this time, the final decision-makers of Britain and Germany had not yet realized that the 20th century was a great era of scientific and technological progress. New naval weapons had begun to appear continuously, and the naval combat methods were becoming increasingly rich. They attempted to pass a
It seems impossible to achieve the goal of war through a decisive battle.
So while Britain and Germany are trying to get enemy ships to fight at any cost, the Far East Navy has begun to set sail. Their final destination is European waters. Judging from the current situation, the Mediterranean is no longer Europe's territory.
, because two Far East Navy aircraft carrier battle groups have trapped the Mediterranean Sea, and French and Italian naval bases are caught in the fishing net.
This situation is favorable to the Far East Army, but the British and German admirals still believe that as long as the North Sea issue is resolved, forcing the Far East Navy to withdraw from the Mediterranean and achieving reconciliation are within easy reach.
But none of them thought that this important strategic deployment would have a significant impact on the future of the world. You must know that the Mediterranean is one of the main routes from Europe to Asia.
Moreover, Britain and Germany never thought that if both sides were wiped out by the enemy in the battleship battle between Britain and Germany, then the Mediterranean Sea would completely sink to the bottom of the sea and become the garden of the Far East Legion.
However, the facts are facts, and all the results have been revealed. At the same time, in the first Battle of Jutland, Britain and Germany made operational command errors. For example, before the naval battle, the British Navy's home fleet actually had objective advantages and opportunities.
Therefore, you should take advantage of the situation and use clever tactics to improve your combat effectiveness.
However, due to the repeated missteps of the British naval commander, he finally blindly pursued the German naval fleet indiscriminately, catching the German fleet responsible for the task of luring the enemy by surprise. Finally, when the main fleet was fighting, the large fleet was still
He was a little timid and voluntarily gave up chasing the fleeing enemy, thereby losing a favorable opportunity.
Also, at the last moment, the lack of determination and courage to engage in a decisive night battle allowed the German Navy's Home Fleet to constantly create opportunities to break through the British Navy's blockade.
It is not difficult to see from the above points that whether it is the navy or the army, having correct combat command is the key to everything. At the same time, one must be able to assess the situation, use troops to measure the enemy, not be fooled by the illusion in front of you, and actively carry out beneficial operations.
Attack, so that unfavorable situations can be avoided. Only by pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and taking advantage of the trend, can we strive for the final victory of the war. The so-called strength of strength and the contrast of the situation, these are just the possibility of victory, big or small.
The problem.
Once the advantages and disadvantages are established, if there are mistakes in combat command, the battle will still be defeated in the end. In the end, it will be a lack of coordination and cooperation. It can be said that in this fierce battle, both the British and German navies are in danger.
There are many problems, but the British Navy has the most problems.
Just say that the British Navy's Home Fleet did not notify the only aircraft carrier in the UK when it set off. Even if the aircraft carrier is only used for reconnaissance, it at least has the right to participate in combat, not to mention that it can add more to the British army in subsequent battles.
The advantages.
The German Navy also has many problems. During the battle, the German High Seas Fleet had serious deficiencies in its reconnaissance and intelligence capabilities. It often ended up being passively beaten. You must know that Germany is the second country in the world to have an air force.
The country, but the fighter jets and bombers in the naval base are all sleeping, and only the High Seas Fleet is fighting alone, as if it has nothing to do with the Air Force.
You must know how much the air force and the army played in the victory of the war in the Far East and Tsarist Russia during the Second Northeast War.
However, Edward VII and William II, who had not yet come to their senses, laughed self-righteously after seeing the situation reports reported by the admirals of the two countries, because at this time there were only three aircraft carriers and ten aircraft carriers in the Far East Navy in the North Sea.
Ten thousand ton mini battleships, as well as other cruisers, destroyers, frigates, etc.
However, the final assessment report given by the naval departments of the two countries was that the Far East Navy had nothing to fear because they did not regard an aircraft carrier battle group and three light aircraft carriers carrying more than 150 aircraft as one
