Chapter VI History of Tampering (1)
On November 7th, late autumn in London, as always, the rainy and foggy wet weather always makes people feel a little more sad. Just after 12 o’clock in the south of the old city, the clock shyly told the time, and after many vicissitudes, the clock pierced this gloomy weather, and the fog swayed and accidentally rippled into the old British naval headquarters building.
Eddie Marsh, Winston Churchill’s private secret, was a little uneasy. From time to time, he threw away his heavy work and turned to look at Churchill’s locked door in his office. At 9 o’clock in the afternoon, Secretary of the Navy Churchill invited Jellicoe, commander of the big fleet, to hold closed-door consultations, which lasted for three hours.
On November 5th, a huge naval expansion meeting was held in London, and the differences, disputes and emotions broke up in an unhappy way. Churchill was determined to abandon the long-range blockade theory of Marshal Taylor, who had resigned, and transferred the main force of the big fleet to strangle Germany’s East Asian fleet and attack ships abroad, and he personally planned to make preparations before the battle of reaching the Daniil Strait. However, John Jellicoe, commander-in-chief of the big fleet with high prestige among the middle-ranking naval officers, will insist on keeping a big fleet with quantitative advantages over the German ocean fleet to avoid potential risks.
Hill, the British Admiralty, has been fighting for Churchill’s civilian faction for a long time. Even King George has heard a little about Churchill’s Jellicoe going to the meeting alone. Although the latter is not a strong person, it is contradictory. Once it rises to a theoretical or strategic height, I am afraid that no one will easily let go. Churchill’s office can’t escape the passionate scene of Mars hitting the earth. Eddie Marsh is worried when he thinks of this.
As it turns out, Eddie Marsh is worried about the dead silence in the spacious office, except for a little heavy breathing. This embarrassing atmosphere has been going on for a long time. Forty-year-old Winston Churchill is sitting at his desk with his eyelids drooping and sophisticated scissors to cut his big cigar in Havana, lifetime beloved, Cuba. Fifty-five-year-old John Jellicoe will wear dark black navy hands and lean back to leisurely look at the hanging wall chart. It seems that there is a hidden treasure map of the Viking era behind that plain chart.
The clock has been going on for decades, and the powerful clock and the naval headquarters have come in all day without shouting and cursing. Winston Churchill took a deep breath and was unwilling, but after all, he lit the Cuban cigar that had been playing for nearly three hours.
"In two hours, the second expansion meeting of the navy will be held soon. Maybe we should unify our positions."
"Sir Churchill …" Jellicoe will finally move his eyes back from that shallow chart. He seems to be talking to himself but his tone is firm. "I can add to the second reconnaissance fleet of the Falkland Islands. Three battle cruiser ships will join the South American sub-fleet just around the corner; You personally plan the Battle of the Daniil Strait in the spring of 1915. I reserve my opinion that the battleship Ginkul and Irish will be the biggest cards for you and the Mediterranean Fleet! "
The so-called Battle of Da Daniil Strait was planned by Churchill at the end of January to control the occupied territory of Da Daniil Strait and Bosporus Strait, and Constantinople, the capital of Turkey, forced Turkey to withdraw from the German joint war, and the British, French, naval and army joint operations.
At the end of September, Turkey’s tendency towards the Allies became more and more obvious. Churchill’s first rude courtesy of the British Admiralty to the Ottoman Empire was exposed by the London tabloids. Churchill used the excuse of avoiding technical leakage and the big fleet added ships and tiles to muddle this matter. In early January, he led two war cruisers and five cruisers to cruise the Aegean Sea in Greece. The Berkeley-Mill Navy will specially return to Alexandria on the "world’s cheapest battle cruiser"-the result is congenital deficiency and the acquired deformity of the "Seven Turrets Sacred" almost makes this. After the myocardial infarction of an old jazz, the old jazz replied to the Navy Department and Armstrong Shipyard with harsh words. There was a long-standing news of "return" to accuse Churchill of rising again to save the reputation of the Ginkul. Churchill couldn’t wait to attack Ottoman Turkey. He personally planned the battle plan for the Daniil Strait and completed it in February 1915. Jellicoe, the preparer, was opposed to the flawed battle plan for the Daniil Strait, but he didn’t mind Churchill making a sure-win deal.
"I’m moved by your suggestion. Maybe I should repay you …" Winston Churchill pointed out the window and scattered the faint smile that led to the Thames in the North Sea. He grabbed a cigar and thought-provoking. "North Sea? Or is the big fleet free to act? "
"No, Sir Churchill, I’m a professional soldier. Soldiers don’t expect anything unrealistic!" John Jellicoe pushed Churchill’s innuendo back without moving his face. His stiff expression was a little more interesting and reserved. "But maybe you can give me the access limit for free fire in the Battle of Dogel Shazhou and the communication information notification of the German Navy’s confidential line."
"This is not a problem key!" The Grand Fleet Command submitted the action plan of Dogel sandbar ambush. Churchill had been pressing for a long time. Churchill took a mouthful of cigar and rose from his desk with light blue smoke. "Although I personally appreciate David Betty, his first battle cruiser sub-fleet can’t fight against hippel’s first reconnaissance fleet!"
"What if you give David Betty three battleships of the second unit of the second Battleship Team?"
John Jellicoe, who had been going around for a long time, saw that he was desperate and played his card mercilessly and a dagger named David Betty was severely inserted into Winston Churchill’s soft spot.
"Commander, did the Secretary of the Navy agree to our plan of action?" Holding the navy cap, Jellicoe came out from the dilapidated naval headquarters building and guarded the door. Lieutenant General David Betty was greeted with a complicated look.
Jellicoe will take a look at David Betty and finally give a long sigh. "Betty, do you know that from today on, the Secretary of the Navy will never take care of you again? Your career is about to fall into a trough, and people’s expectations are fleeting, but you will face a group of politicians who are not very good!"
Churchill knew Betty well. In 1911, Betty’s sea minister, aide McKenna, was dissatisfied with Betty’s work because of disagreement. In 1912, Churchill rescued David-Betty and made him the aide of the navy minister. In 1913, Churchill ignored the question of the admiralty and handed over the fleet to Betty. It is not necessary for Churchill to value David-Betty without utilitarian factors, so he can simply appreciate more.
Betrayal doesn’t feel good, David Betty, clutching his uneasy conscience and looking heavy, said slowly
"War is military personnel, it is not romantic and arbitrary! I am a professional soldier, and I have something to do! "
"Well, you will get the second battleship, the second fleet, the three battleships and the intelligence department, the German navy’s confidential line communication intelligence support, and the Dogel sandbar, where you have free fire, and the big fleet will be your most solid backing! Let go to make the most outstanding tactical commander of the German Navy, Flantz hippel, and the best strategic genius Heidi Silem Dogel Shoal smash the sand! " Jellicoe will pat David Betty on the shoulder and encourage him.
The weather in the North Sea was just right, and the Burhan came trembling and anchored in shallow water near the British coastline.
On March 13th, Burhan, the patrol duty patrol in this area, found a German U-15 submarine floating in the air. Burhan easily sank the submarine that could not escape from Germany. Twelve days passed, and the failure rate of the Royal Navy in the Helgolan Bay naval battle belonged to the first cruiser squadron. Burhan was lucky enough to drag out an ignoble existence because of mechanical failure, and sank a German submarine, which became the only and only record of the Royal Navy.
Nowadays, the German navy is the only one in the North Sea. Even though it is close to the British coastline, the British still feel that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The captain urged the first divers to jump from the stern of the Berhan and plunge into the dark sea.
The U-15 sunken ship was not deep, and divers found many valuable things in the broken hull.
"The captain has found something!" The diver held high a sealed lead box and rushed out of the water. Excited way
The lead box was quickly sent to the captain’s room. The captain of the Bohan struggled for a long time to pry open the iron box. The captain was sweating and unscrewed the box. As a result, he was shocked.
"Oh, my God … is it even on our side?"
On 25th, 1914, the British found the German navy code from the wreckage of the German U-15 submarine. Two months later, dozens of famous Dewei linguists, mathematicians and cryptographers gathered at the British naval headquarters, and the cryptographer barely grasped a small part of the code. Recently, the British naval intelligence department intercepted the ocean fleet newspaper several times, and these vague reports invariably pointed to the same place, Dogel Shazhou.

"How likely are the British to split up?" The dim light reflected Ingenohl’s weather-beaten face more and more pale. He took off his glasses and put aside the plan of several outstanding young people of the ocean fleet to build together and asked softly
"Ten percent!" No amount of bitter coffee can save the tired erich-Lei Deer who fought for two days and three nights in a row. His eyes were bloodshot and he leaned against the cold wall. He said, "On whether Churchill or the Royal Navy need to save face and boost morale in front of the world, owning two large armored ships, the East Asian fleet is suspected to be a success. There is no reason for the British to let go of the soft persimmon and find the ocean fleet to die."
"If the British don’t divide their forces and the ocean fleet stays put for the time being, when Count Spee’s East Asian fleet arrives in Irish waters, the British will be overwhelmed and we need a brilliant Trafalgar victory!" Wolfgang Wei Gena, another strategic genius of the German Navy and the chief staff officer of the First Battleship Sub-fleet, unhurriedly took out a plan to sew Ingenohl’s doubts.
"Once the British split up, I will lead two large armored ships, Von de Tann and Mao Qi, to take the initiative to attack and threaten the coastline of the British island. The British empire has not been invaded by foreign enemies for hundreds of years. Perhaps the British navy will not respond once or twice, but if we deliberately leave a flaw and anger the British people, the Royal Navy will definitely choose to ambush and destroy us with a little white lies and disguise. Two patrol ships and a large armored ship will not let the British send out the main force of the big fleet to struggle. One blow, many of my old friend David Betty’s first battle cruiser fleet, the Lion, the Royal Princess, the Queen Mary and the Tiger, patrol Jellicoe to coordinate the main force of the big fleet remotely. "
Wang Haidi wore a military hat with a stubble on her face and yawned as if she were asleep. "My mission is to try to ensure that the warship foundation is entangled. The first battle cruiser sub-fleet is composed of two cruises by General hippel and the third battleship by General Schell. Four Caesar-class battleships and two king-class battleships complete the final blow, and the British lost their land in Dogel sandbar!"
"Major-General Selim’s action plan is perfect, but it’s unfair to you." Ingenohl took a look at Wang Haidi and worried. "blucher is a large armored ship. It can’t cope with the real patrol at all. Although the von de Tann and Mao Qi are strong, they are still a notch behind David Betty’s lion-class and tiger-class new patrol. Maybe Selim was torn to pieces by David Betty’s new warship before the reinforcements of the ocean fleet arrived!"
"Although there are difficulties and obstacles ahead …" The otaku listened carefully to his young and exciting heartbeat and recalled that Blunt Pier was calm and happy when he said this to him. He looked up slightly and said, "But there are some things that someone has to do, right?"
Dogel Shazhou campaign plan was taken away by Wolfgang-Wei Gena school, and his distant cousin, General Haining-von-Hertzendorf, was the chief of staff of the naval staff of erich-Lei Deer school.
The night is not deep. The weather in Port William is slightly cool. The sea breeze is wearing a military uniform. General Friedrich von Ingenohl is sitting at his desk and looking at the gap. The amazing talents of young people and the highlights of Tianma are planned to go out for a few drinks and return to Lei Deer and West Lemfu. The secret room outside the office is hard to conceive a naval training plan for Dogel sandbar.
In the foggy planning of the North Sea in November, the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel was another ambush. In the era of no walkie-talkie and radar director, it was very important for warships to cooperate in attack and cross-fire barrage training.
"Lei Deer, do you know the magdeburg?" After drinking a little wine, Wang Haidi was drunk at one or two points. He knocked a little dizzy and focused on the training plan. Suddenly, the otaku’s chaotic mind flashed and he vaguely wanted to see something. He grabbed Lei Deer’s sleeve and hesitated
"What happened to the second reconnaissance fleet?" Lei Deer, chief of the War Department of the General Staff of the Navy, is familiar with the troubles of the ocean fleet
"The password was not leaked?" And Wang Haidi laughed and mumbled, "It seems that history has been tampered with by me …"
