Chapter 1176 Betty's Decision
"Are you sure there are only three battlecruisers?" Betty said, looking at the three German battlecruisers located north of him. The sea fog has not completely dispersed, but the main gun of the German fleet has opened fire, and the orange-red fireball clearly exposed the locations of the three German battlecruisers. A little farther northeast is Thomas's Queen Elizabeth battleship.
"Our seaplane roughly investigated the surrounding waters. There were no other warships within at least 15 kilometers. The main force of the German fleet was besieging three other Queen-class fast battleships. So far, they have not caught up." said an officer.
"It seems that we still 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 in his heart. As the saying goes, he became a doctor after a long illness and was beaten, his practical experience was also rising! To be honest, Betty had a lot of practical experience. In the earliest Battle of Hullgrande Bay, Betty successfully insulted the German fleet and sank several light cruisers. Then he was entangled with the Hippel fleet several times near the British coast. In terms of ability, he certainly had it.
After experiencing the Thunder-Surbruce Battle, Betty, who paid the tuition, seemed to be the powerful people who broke some limits and ascended the Tao, and had a nearly perceptual judgment on various dangers! Well, it was a bit mysterious, but no matter what, Betty, who was called the battlefield husky in later generations, accurately realized the subtlety of the battle situation, and even smelled the conspiracy scattered on the North Sea as soon as he encountered a German light cruiser!
"When did the German light cruiser become so unrestrained?!" After seeing the German light cruiser, Betty first considered not to smear the other party, but to consider whether there was a mouse-catching clip behind the cheese! Since the end of the Battle of Hullgran Bay, the Germans were so careful with their light cruiser. Unless it was certain that the other party was also a light cruiser, the German light cruiser would not be so unrestrained without a big advantage. It might be like now, directly hit the battle cruiser's face and found that there was a tiger on the other side, and he was still holding on. There was a conspiracy here!
Looking up again, I looked up today's weather. It was morning and there was a layer of sea fog on the sea surface. In this case, the other party must have calculated his own route at night to intercept the opponent. It was impossible to be so accurate to be responsible! Not long after dawn, the fleet approached the base, but before it completely entered the guard circle, it blocked itself! As for how the other party discovered it, this question was not discussed now! The other party was almost stabbing the knife, so why did you ask where to buy the knife? What were you thinking?!
Dispelling these destroyers is not the problem he is thinking now, just leave it to the people below. Betty's first reaction at this time was that the German main warship should be nearby! Look at the current visibility, the distance between the vanguard fleet and the main battleship behind was definitely not far. Under normal circumstances, the British vanguard fleet and the main fleet can be 40 kilometers wide, but now, it is at most about 20 kilometers. Considering that the weather is not good, the distance between the artillery fighting is relatively close, so the remaining time for the British is only minutes to calculate!
So, although he was not very clear about the other party's situation, Betty, who felt that he had been trapped, immediately planned to send a telegram to Thomas, asking Thomas to release the smoke screen immediately to cover the fleet's evacuation! What's sad is that at this time, a 175mm shell destroyed the Tiger's radio antenna, so that the information was not sent out at all. If you want to use the flag, it would take some time.
Every time after the war ended, Betty recalled what the British called the Battle of Forth Bay offshore, he said with great pain that if the God of War was fairer and Thomas received this critical telegram, the situation would definitely change. Betty even undermined the situation of how the British fleet fought back after the war, and gained a lot of fans.
However, only Betty and the commander on the Tiger at that time knew that even if the telegram was sent out, it would be of no use. The reason was very simple. Betty suggested that Thomas lead the fleet to break through the northwest direction, but in this direction, the more powerful Sher fleet is waiting for you to come up.
When Betty found out that the boss was fruitless, he felt that the danger was getting closer and closer! What should he do with Betty's nature? Of course, he ran away quickly! What? You said that the Royal Navy does not have such a cowardly general? Please, are we restoring history? In the Battle of Jutland in history, Betty's battlecruiser immediately whispered after encountering the High Seas Fleet? Then because the signal was a little slow, Thomas almost killed.
Although Betty thought he was very fearless, after experiencing the Thunder-Surbruce Battle, watching the British Navy from fearless to super fearless, from battlecruisers to battleships easily lit firecrackers under the attack of the opponent's large-caliber naval guns. It would be impossible to be afraid! However, after being fired by the light cruiser at close range, Betty ordered the Tiger to dodge temporarily, and the remaining light cruisers behind him, the New Zealand, attacked the German light cruiser together.
According to Betty's recollection, less than ten minutes later, Hippel's fleet exchanged fire with Thomas' five Queen-class battleships! Betty was not sure whether Hippel noticed him, but thankfully, Hippel did not cause trouble for him. Maybe he didn't find it, maybe he was disdainful. But no matter what, Betty really didn't dare to find the other party's bad luck at this time.
"When the outline of the German fleet was revealed in the sea fog, I was almost shocked! There were at least 10 main battleships! When we wiped out the fire on the ship, the opponent had already launched a battle line and successfully suppressed the Thomas fleet! I can be sure that I saw the Bavarian-class battleship, and I can also be sure that there were Moltke-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 will definitely help the Thomas fleet, but unfortunately, in this case, we rushed up to death!" In the battle report, Betty once again wrote with pain.
However, this time Betty's heartbroken pain was recognized by most people. Even Jericho thought afterwards that it was reasonable for Betty to take the fleet to evacuate at this time, otherwise what else would you think?! I think the five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were not enough to send? Get two more battle cruisers?!
