Like Germany, the other side of the war, Britain, has also been paying attention to the outcome of this naval battle. British Prime Minister Asquith directly asked the Lord of the Admiralty John.
Sir Fisher reported to him immediately after receiving the results of the naval battle.
British Lord of the Admiralty John.
Sir Fisher has been staying at the British Admiralty since the naval battle began, waiting for further news and the final result. However, compared with the anxious German side, he is much calmer. For this naval battle,
He and the British Admiralty have been preparing for a long time. If the British Navy still loses this war despite being fully prepared, then it can only be said that the Germans have really been favored by God.
However, this situation should not happen. John.
Sir Fisher is almost 60% sure that the British Navy will achieve a brilliant victory this time, just like the British Navy defeated the Spanish, Dutch and French in history, completely consolidating its position as a maritime hegemon. Of course, it will affect the naval battle
There are many factors. Therefore, John.
Sir Fisher is not 100% sure either. But there is a 60% chance of winning, which is already very high.
However, when the British Navy's battlecruiser squadron was severely defeated by the German Navy's High Seas Fleet's reconnaissance squadron, John.
Sir Fisher was still very nervous. He even said that he would send the battlecruiser squadron commander David.
Lieutenant General Beatty was sent to a military court. The British naval battlecruiser squadron had a numerical advantage, but was defeated by the German naval reconnaissance squadron. This made John.
Sir Fisher's confidence in this naval battle was affected. Fortunately, John.
Admiral Jellicoe led the main force of the Home Fleet and fought very well. He successfully fulfilled the strategic requirements of the British Admiralty.
At half past NO in the evening, the chief of the telegraph room of the British Admiralty personally reported John, the commander of the Home Fleet.
Details of the defeat from Admiral Jellicoe were sent to John.
Sir Fisher's hand.
John.
Sir Fisher immediately started reading. Sure enough, the naval battle did not surprise him. The British Navy and the American Navy joined forces and achieved a huge victory. The main force of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet had been annihilated. The German Navy would

Strength. However, the cost of eight battleships and six battlecruisers being sunk, and 14 battleships and three battlecruisers being severely damaged still made him feel a little pain. Fortunately, the British navy has a great cause, so this loss is not worth it.
Affordable. In addition, those damaged battleships and
Battlecruisers can continue to serve after being repaired and commanded, so they cannot be regarded as losses. These losses are compared to the sinking of 16 battleships and 3 battlecruisers of the German Navy and the severe damage to 6 battleships and 4 battlecruisers of the German Navy.
Already very satisfying to him
After all, the German Navy is far from comparable to the British Navy in terms of foundation. The British Navy has once again established the British maritime supremacy through this naval battle. In addition, five battleships of the US Navy were severely damaged.
report, which was not reported by John.
Sir Fisher took it to heart. Although the US Navy Expeditionary Fleet also played a great role in this naval battle, if they had not blocked the retreat of the German Navy in time, the British Navy would not have achieved such glory.
The victory was successful. But the British Navy, with the crisis over, became arrogant again.
"Come here, prepare a car, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Office!" John.
Sir Fisher compiled the battle report and then said. Such good news must of course be reported to the Prime Minister immediately.
The British Navy has once again won a victory, which should be commended by the royal family and the government, as well as the love of the British people. As the Lord of the Admiralty, John.
Sir Fisher can also gain both fame and fortune!
"It's your Excellency!" John.
Sir Fisher's secretary immediately went to prepare. This great victory will allow Britain and the British Navy to once again reverse their decline and return to glory.
When John.
It was already 11 o'clock in the night when Sir Fisher arrived at the Prime Minister's Office. However, Prime Minister Asquith still did not sleep, but was working in the office. John.
Sir Fisher knew that Prime Minister Asquith had no intention of resting until he learned the outcome of the naval battle. Fortunately, the outcome of the naval battle was quite satisfactory.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, the Lord Admiralty is here!" the secretary in the Prime Minister's Office reported to Prime Minister Asquith.
"Ah? Please, prepare two cups of hot coffee!" Prime Minister Asquith said. He has indeed been waiting for the result of this naval battle, and now the answer should be revealed. However, he does not know the final outcome.
Whether the outcome will be beneficial to Britain? This naval battle is really of great importance, and Prime Minister Asquith can’t help not paying attention to it!
"Good evening, Prime Minister!" John.
Sir Fisher said with a smile after entering Prime Minister Asquith's office.
"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral! It seems you have brought me good news!" Seeing John.
After the disgrace on Sir Fisher's face, Prime Minister Asquith's heart that had been hanging around was finally put back in his stomach. If the battle was defeated, John.
Can Lord Fisher, Lord of the Admiralty, still laugh?
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. As you guessed, the Royal Navy defeated the Germans in the North Sea and achieved brilliant results. We once again proved to the world that the Royal Navy is still the overlord of the world's oceans!" John.
Sir Fisher said impassionedly, his face full of unconcealable pride.
"Then, Your Excellency, Lord Admiralty, can you give me a detailed battle report?" Prime Minister Asquith said with a smile. The Royal Navy had achieved a great victory, which made him feel very happy.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. In this naval battle, the Royal Navy sank a total of 16 battleships and 3 battlecruisers of the German Navy. In addition, it severely damaged 6 battleships and 4 battlecruisers of the German Navy. In other words, Germany
The main force of the navy has been annihilated by us. For a long time to come, the German navy will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Royal Navy!" John.
Sir Fisher said.
Prime Minister Asquith nodded, this result made him very satisfied.
"So, were the Royal Navy's losses significant?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Royal Navy paid the price of 8 battleships and 6 battlecruisers being sunk in this naval battle. In addition, 14 battleships and 3 battlecruisers were severely damaged!" John.
Sir Fisher said.
"The loss is so big?" Prime Minister Asquith frowned suddenly.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, in fact, the real losses are only the battleship and 6 battlecruisers. The damaged battleships and battlecruisers can be repaired quickly with Britain's shipbuilding capabilities. It will take at most half a year to repair these damaged battleships and battlecruisers."
Battleships and battlecruisers will be able to return to the fleet. Moreover, the gap between us and the German Navy will further widen! Overall, in this naval battle, the Royal Navy has achieved a decisive victory.
!" John.
Sir Fisher explained.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Asquith nodded, which was regarded as recognition of John.
Sir Fisher's explanation.
"Come here, go and invite all the cabinet members right away. I want to personally announce to them the news of the Royal Navy's glorious victory!" Prime Minister Asquith said. Since the beginning of the war, the British Expeditionary Force has been on the European battlefield.
They were constantly defeated by the German army and suffered heavy losses. The whole of Britain was also immersed in a pessimistic atmosphere. Now, the news of the Royal Navy's victory can finally free Britain from its pessimism. The government can also let the people see
to gain hope of victory, which is very important for the next war.
That night, the British Prime Minister's Office was filled with cheers. The navy's victory allowed these cabinet members, who had been feeling a lot of pressure, to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Moreover, after the navy's victory, Germany would definitely be further weakened.
Strength. By the time the British and French forces defeated the Germans on land, it would be obvious that they would win this war.
British War Secretary Winston.
Churchill even claimed on the spot that the Royal Navy's annihilation of the main force of the German Navy was completely regarded as a turning point in this world war. From then on, the Allied Powers, led by Britain, would lead the entire Allied Powers group to defeat the ambitious Allies and the evil empire in the East.
Winning the World War. Winston.
Churchill's words also appeared intact in mainstream newspapers in the United Kingdom, and were later quoted by other major newspapers in the Allied Powers.
The next day, all the newspapers in the UK published the news of the Royal Navy's great victory. The whole of Britain was excited, and the people cheered, as if they had seen the victory of the war coming. The people who were being ravaged by the German army
After learning about the relevant situation, France also actively launched its propaganda machine. French President Clement.
Armand.
Farier even praised the British Royal Navy's victory, claiming that this was the most crucial battle to defeat Germany and the entire Allies. There is no doubt that the Allies won this world war.
The United States on the other side of the ocean is also celebrating this victory. After all, the U.S. Navy also made great efforts in defeating the German Navy. Although eight battleships were severely damaged, they were not sunk at least.
.This has also restored the confidence of the U.S. Navy. This is like a shot in the arm for the United States, which is struggling to resist the Chinese army.
