"Okay, now I want to ask General Betty, why did you lead four battlecruisers to pursue first without knowing the enemy situation? Isn't this a very irresponsible thing?" After Betty and others re-articled the entire war process at the venue, Fisher made the first wave of inquiries while confirming that the other party's testimony would not change.&1t;/p>

"According to the intelligence provided by the Admiral Department, the enemy fleet is Hippel's battle cruiser team. They only have 5 ships, of which Wu Wu only has 3 ships, and I have 4 battle cruisers. I think it is the right choice to take the initiative to bite the opponent when the strength is not much different. Of course, regarding the issue of intelligence errors, I don't think this responsibility can be borne by me." Betty said without changing his face.&1t;/p>

"Even if the intelligence provided by the Admiralty is wrong, then when the two sides meet, can't you count how many battleships each other has?!" Fisher said while knocking on the table.&1t;/p>

"Look at this photo, tell me, how many battleships are there in this fleet?" Betty took out a black and white photo taken on the battlefield. Under a "black cloud", huge figures faintly, and because they were crowded together, it was really difficult to judge the number.&1t;/p>

"This, these are not at least five ships, right? You can only judge based on intelligence, and not add your own analysis. What is the use of such an officer? A fool can do it well according to the rules!" Fisher first glanced at the photo, and then said a little angry, because he really didn't know how many main ships there were. The warships in the first battle were burning coal, and the coal smoke sent by the warships during high sailing can itself cover up. Moreover, the distance between the two sides is nearly 20 kilometers, and the formation of the opponent is relatively close. It is indeed not easy to judge the size and organization of the opponent's fleet by visual method.&1t;/p>

And there is another problem. Since the Hurgren class battleship, whether it is the Hurgren class battleship, Moltke class battleship, or Bavarian class fast battleship, the appearance is similar, the same triangular mast, the same 4 turrets, and the spacing between the turrets is similar. The number of chimneys in the superstructure is the same... The only difference is the length, but can a ship be seen more than 20 meters apart, which is 20 kilometers apart? Those who can see it have their eyes that are better than rangefinders!&1t;/p>

"In fact, there is not a battleship here. The one surrounding the destroyer is and the light cruiser of the Germans in the middle is the one from the Germans." Betty's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm!&1t;/p>

"Hold the grass~~~~!" Fisher was really depressed this time. He didn't expect that Betty would dare to tease him on such occasions! He looked carefully again and it seemed that it was not a battleship, because the German battleships usually had 4 turrets, and this one seemed to have 3 turrets... The figure also seemed to be a little thinner, and it was really hard to see under the smoke screen and blurry photos.&1t;/p>

In fact, even in real combat, even if there is a big gap between the two warships, it may be wrong. After all, in history, did the German fleet in War II regard reputation as Nelson, and then one ship chases two Schanehorsts and runs around? You know, Nelson has three turrets in front, and reputation is 2 first and 1 behind!&1t;/p>

If we look at the length, it is also difficult to identify. The length of the light cruiser equipped with 175mm artillery in Germany is about 165 meters long, while the length of the hull of Bavaria is 195 meters, which is only 30 meters away. The Hurgren-class battleship is shorter, so in the blurred background, it is really impossible to distinguish just by looking at a contour. These are objective reasons. In fact, it is also forgiven for admitting wrong targets in the fleet. But Betty just smeared Fisher, which in the latter's opinion cannot be forgiven...&1t;/p>

Under normal circumstances, Betty would never dare to make fun of the First Sea Minister, but after the end of this battle, it basically determined that Betty's naval future was almost over... No matter how he defended himself, no matter what objective reason, the responsibility of throwing away three fearless battle cruisers in a battle is too great. Even if he doesn't get it all, he might throw it to a idle fleet to get a job and retire? For Betty, whose reputation is everything, at this time, he naturally has to sacrifice his reputation for his own life.&1t;/p>

"However, the Harric fleet mentioned before that the size of the German fleet's escort warships was larger than expected, and in the telegram, it was mentioned that at least two light cruisers were dispatched this time. This situation has never happened before. Could it be that such an obvious phenomenon cannot arouse your alert? Did the Hippel fleet carry more than four light cruisers every time it attacked?"&1t;/p>

Unlike the First Navy Minister Churchill, who had never boarded the ship, the First Sea Minister came out of the fleet. If Betty could really ask a few words, then this would not only be Fisher's own sorrow, but also the sorrow of the Royal Navy... Fisher, who has been the commander of the fleet, still has this qualities!&1t;/p>

"Okay, let's change the topic. Things that cannot be distinguished for various reasons are common on the battlefield. We should not be confused about this matter. The Harric fleet has not yet figured out the opponent's fleet organization." Churchill came out to smooth things out. This debate did not match the theme of the conference. It was about discussing the issue, not criticizing each other. If you continue to argue like this, you will have no result. As for the issue of responsibility, I will talk about it later.&1t;/p>

"Overall, General Betty first brought some fleets to the battlefield, which was positive from a subjective perspective. In fact, from a time perspective, General Moore's fleet arrived in time. The only thing that made us feel incomprehensible is that the combat effectiveness of the German light cruisers and battleships was too strong. The light cruisers that accompanied the operation of the Betty fleet were defeated within ten minutes. From the time the two sides started to fight to General Moore's arrival, it took only half an hour to fight, and we sank two fearless battle cruisers. This can no longer be explained by the quality of the officers and soldiers and the command of the chief officer. The opponent's combat effectiveness is too strong. Our warships are too weak."&1t;/p>

"I can say that our warship design ideas are all problems. All warships are parallel to German warships of the same level! If we have to discuss the defeat of this battle, I think the performance of the warship itself is an unavoidable problem, even the main problem." Jericho said bluntly. Because in his opinion, Betty did make a mistake, but the handling of Lieutenant General Geram and Major General Hood is classic, but this has no effect. Should I lose or lose...&1t;/p>
