"Oh? Sir Fisher, is the Navy so sure? You're not kidding?" Prime Minister Asquith was excited, but then hesitated.
The other ministers in the British cabinet also looked at John in surprise.
Sir Fisher, I don't know why the Royal Navy has such great confidence. Everyone knows that the current strength of the Royal Navy is slightly superior to the German Navy, but it would be a bit too much to say that it will definitely defeat the German Navy.
Be arrogant! If you wait until Queen Elizabeth, the battleship and
‘If you say such words after all the battleships are in service, then you will believe it. But now? Everyone is a little suspicious.
"Don't worry, of course I won't use this to make fun of everyone. Before, there were many things that needed to be kept secret, so the Admiralty was always in secret. Now? The sea battle between us and the Germans is about to begin
Then, there is no need to worry about confidentiality!" John.
Sir Fisher said confidently.
"Wait, Sir Fisher, you said that the sea decisive battle between us and the Germans is about to begin. Has the Admiralty learned the time for the Germans to fight us?" asked Prime Minister Asquis.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. According to the information we have obtained, the German Navy will launch an attack on the Royal Navy at the end of this month, that is, on May 30. The purpose is to defeat the Royal Navy and gain sea control in the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean." John.
Sir Fisher said affirmatively.
"Sir Fisher, I'm very puzzled, how could the Admiralty know the German plan, and that it was so detailed that it even knew the date of war." Secretary of the Army Winston.
Churchill asked.
"Your Excellency, ministers, this is what happened. In February, one of our light cruisers discovered a German destroyer along the coast of Norway. After fierce battles, the German destroyer was stranded near the coast. And,
They didn't have time to destroy the German Navy's codebook. Our people took the passwordbook away and completely destroyed the German destroyer. After more than two months of deciphering, we have basically mastered the German Navy's code. After testing
Afterwards, the correctness of the cryptobook was basically verified. It is precisely for this reason that we learned that the German Navy will launch a decisive battle with the Royal Navy at the end of the month!" John.
Sir Fisher explained.
"If this is true, that would be great!" Secretary of the Chancellor of the Crown.
Lloyd.
George first said that war is just about burning money. The war in the past year has long since put a lot of debts in the government. If it weren't for the deep accumulation of the British Empire over hundreds of years and the vast colonies could be exploited, he would have no idea.
How to hold on?
"Your Excellency, everyone, I am very sorry. In order to avoid being known by the Germans, I ask the people below to keep it confidential. I hope everyone can understand!" John.
Sir Fisher said proactively.
"Sir Fisher, it is understandable that the Admiralty is cautious on this issue." Although Prime Minister Asquith was a little dissatisfied, it was not easy to attack now. After all, Sir Fisher did this to win this
A war is for the benefit of the British Empire.
Prime Minister Asquith did not investigate this issue in depth, so other people would no longer focus on this issue.
"Sir Fisher, you said before that the Royal Navy has prepared traps for the German Navy. If successful, it can damage or even annihilate the German Navy in one fell swoop? Can you now reveal the plan of the Navy to us slightly, and also allow us to make it easier.
Let's let it go!" Colonial Minister George.
Nathaniel.
Marquis Curzon said that the strong British navy was an important guarantee for maintaining Britain's overseas colonial system. Therefore, he was also very irrelevant to this decisive battle of the navy.
"Of course! This is the plan of the Admiralty.
Since the German Navy's specific plan is to first encircle and annihilate the battlecruiser team of the Royal Navy, and then concentrate all efforts to fight the main force of the Royal Navy. Then, the Royal Navy decided to use the tricks and take the lead in a battlecruiser team that eliminated the German Navy.
Then, with the help of superior forces, launch an attack on the German Navy and completely solve this problem!" said Sir John Fisher.
But John.
Sir Fisher said it very general, which made everyone a little confused. Although the specific plans of the Navy must be kept secret, everyone can understand this. But you must always know why the Royal Navy can defeat the German Navy!
"Why did Sir Fisher's Navy assert that the German Navy would be fooled? And, even if the German Navy was really fooled, with the combat power of the German Navy, it would probably not be too easy for the Royal Navy to defeat the German Navy, right?
'The Bavarian-class battleship, the Royal Navy does not have that battleship that can fight against it now, right?" Army Secretary Winston.
Churchill asked.
"Who said that the Royal Navy did not deal with the Germans' Bavarian-class battleships? Our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are enough to compete with the Germans' Bavarian-class battleships!" John.
Sir Fisher said.
"But,' Queen Elizabeth-class, isn't the battleship still in outfitting? It will take some time to complete it. And after completion, it will have to be conducted in sea trials. After joining the navy, it will take some time to complete it. It will take less than a few months to complete it.
Right!" Churchill frowned and asked in confusion.
"It's true. But it's just a spy from the Admiralty to confuse the Germans. In fact, the Admiralty had already begun to deal with the current crisis two years ago. For this reason, we accelerated the Elizabeth
The construction of Queen-class battleships has even been used for the "revenge class and battleships" and the materials used on the "Elizabeth-class battleships" have been greatly strengthened.
What is lying on the ship platform now is just the 'revenge-class and battleships. As for the Queen Elizabeth-class and battleships that are being outfitted, they are just models that confuse German spies." John.
Sir Fisher said.
"What? Why is this happening?" Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the Admiralty had made such preparations in secret.
"Sir Fisher, that is, our Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has been completed?" Prime Minister Asquith asked with a trembling voice. If this is true, the British Navy is very likely here.
Victory in a sea decisive battle. The British Navy now has thirty-five battleships, plus five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, and there are forty, which is far ahead of the twenty-nine battleships of the German Navy.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were actually completed two months ago. To keep it a secret, these battleships are now in the Irish Sea. When the time for the final battle comes, they will secretly head to the North Sea.
I think these treasures will definitely give the Germans an unforgettable surprise!" John.
Sir Fisher's eyes flashed with excitement. Since becoming the British Navy Minister, his responsibility is to lead the revival of the British Navy. Now, the British Royal Navy will step on the corpse of the Germans who are overestimating their abilities to turn the British maritime overlords.
The status is more stable.
"Sir Fisher, this is really great!" The ministers cheered. Now, in everyone's opinion, the British Navy has mastered the German Navy's plan in advance, and the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships have been in service in advance,
It should not be very difficult to defeat the German Navy. As long as the British Navy can win this decisive battle, it will completely cut off the German ambitions. At that time, we will bring Italy and the countries on the Balkans into the Allies to fight.
.British will soon be able to defeat Germany and win the war. After defeating Germany, the Allies will gather all their strength to defeat the evil China in the East and let the development of the world go back to the past. In that case, the British Empire will still be
The maritime overlord, and the world overlord, will continue to rule the whole world.
"Sir Fisher, although the "Queen Elizabeth-class" battleships were in advance, putting our naval strength to a higher level.
But the strength of the German Navy is not weak. There may be no problem in winning this maritime decisive battle. But it is difficult to severely damage or even annihilate the German Navy! After all, the Germans are not fools, and they are seeing us
The Queen Elizabeth-class, once the battleship was in a disadvantaged position, they would definitely take the opportunity to retreat and would not continue to fight with us!" said Winston Churchill. He believed that the Royal Navy might not be so easy to clean.
A win-win neatly.
"Of course, the German Navy is not weak, but the Royal Navy is fully prepared. I promise that even if the German Navy is not annihilated this time, it will suffer an irreparable heavy blow and will never be done again
The British Empire posed a threat!" John.
Sir Fisher said with great certainty.
Everyone looked at Sir John Fisher curiously, waiting for his explanation. Everyone wanted to know why he had such great confidence and where did his confidence come from?
"Everyone, don't forget that among the Allies, our allies are not weak in addition to us. I have communicated with the US Navy. This time we will fight the German Navy in a decisive battle, and the US Navy will also join. The conditions are,
When China repairs the Panama Canal and enters the Atlantic Ocean, the Royal Navy must cooperate with the US Navy to defeat the Chinese Navy!" John.
