Several boats with red cross or navy flags came from swimming, carefully shuttled through the burning fire field of Youzi River, and experienced rescuers skillfully used barbed long poles to salvage survivors, martyrs, clothes and rags floating on the river.
The most prosperous people on both sides of the Thames went to the building, which was a mess. jǐng Zara pulled up the jǐng ring line. Soldiers carrying rifles and military vehicles with heavy machine guns shook the shore. Municipal personnel were busy cleaning up the roads on both sides of the river. After simple rescue, the injured were transferred to the hospital. The victims were wrapped in snow-white shroud and the church nearby rushed over. These poor people read the Bible with them. "
The main streets and key areas of London have been taken over by the army. jǐng Cha canceled all vacations. On duty in the streets, Victoria trains came from the eastern coastal areas one after another. The train doors slowly entered the platform and were hit. The citizens of London were stunned. Their luggage, wife, children and women flocked from crowded sardines.
The same scene happened: King’s Cross and Liverpool Train. Residents living in coastal towns are doomed to be disappointed. Because the waiting area and other platforms are crowded with Britons who want to flee further away, the news that the German navy stormed the mouth of the Thames has not yet been digested. The tragedies of German fighter planes plundering Greater London have come one after another, and the commitments of the Admiralty have long been discarded like rags. The refugees have to turn around and embark on their journey again.
The already heavily guarded Downing Street has reached the peak of the jǐng ring level. An old barracks has been urgently transferred here, and the commanding heights of buildings are also densely packed. Pop guns are guarded by jǐng Cha, and there are already angry London residents throwing stones and eggs to stop passing cars. Members of the National Defense Commission have arrived in jǐng Cha and the guard protection surface Se dignified and walked into the Prime Minister’s Office.
Although the so-called "Fogg Disaster" attack has ended and resounded through the city, jǐng newspaper industry has calmed down a small part of the chaos in Greater London, and it has disappeared because of the intervention of the army, but some deep-seated J ǐ ng gods involved in national temperament have changed, but those dark and dark pubs pretend to calm the hearts of London with mugs and rum.
"Please give me an explanation!"
It is reported that the shaking of the table fell to the lock room, and the prime minister’s chamber was fluctuating violently, while the important cabinet member, the Minister of the Navy, looked pale.
"Mr. Prime Minister, don’t worry about the people’s rebound. I will take the blame and resign!" Arthur Belfo looked up lazily and said to his boss lightly
"Resign? ! This is the only explanation for misjudging the attack direction of the German navy, which led to the self-defeating goal of the big fleet, the discredit of the Royal Navy and the loss of London. !” The indifference of the Minister of the Navy angered Prime Minister Bonalau and set up a console table mug, gold pen and file bag, which jumped a little and then sounded dull. "We need inspiring news in the current situation in Britain instead of changing the Prime Minister or the Minister of the Navy repeatedly.",
"For the big fleet’ running away without fighting’, I intend to defend what is attacking the Thames and attacking the German fleet. I think it is the last madness."
Arthur Belfo is not the most vigorous civilian in the history of the Royal Navy. The Minister of the Navy, King Arthur, is full of relief when he faces the troubled Prime Minister.
"Thames is the illusion that the Andes can bombard the British capital at most, but it will not bring us any real harm. Although it is difficult for Greater London to accept this view, it is an indisputable fact from a military point of view!"
The Prime Minister finally came out of anger and be swayed by considerations of gain and loss. Although Belfo was unruly, Bonarau had to admit that tough Belfo was the indispensable person for the Royal Navy’s revival and revenge. "Maybe you are right, but politics is the Minister of the Navy. You can’t always think from a military perspective."
"Mr. Bonalau, please forgive me for being a straightforward politician. We can make politics but we can’t be influenced by politics! British people can be proud, but they can’t continue to be proud. They must realize that this is Britain in 1915! "
As the tone rises, Belfo is thin and straight, and once it is leaked, it will cause an uproar. The negative remarks will be truthfully told.
"After the decisive battle in the North Sea, the Germans can attack thousands of kilometers of British coastline, but we can’t take counterattack measures, because no one knows whether this is another naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel. Mr. Prime Minister, this is not the first time that the Germans have attacked our coastline, nor is it the last time. Maybe we can change department heads and generals, even the Prime Minister, to calm the public’s anger, but once?"
"What’s your opinion?"
"Britain will enter a difficult period. Although it is timid and despicable for the big fleet to flee without fighting, passive avoidance of war can shorten the Germans’ bluffing to some extent. If the big fleet really burns its bridges and goes to sea for a decisive battle, it will be Britain’s doom." Belfo narrowed his eyes and flashed a fierce light. "Our fleet will become a fleet, and our submarine force will become a sword to contain the German ocean fleet. We must remember the damage that the Germans have done to us and wait for the big fleet to regain its strength and fight for the North Sea!"
"Don’t forget the destruction of the enemy fleet, don’t forget the brilliance of Trafalgar Cape, and don’t forget the importance of enterprising J and jīng God in a fleet." Bonalau heard that Belfo, the secretary of the navy, was sincere, and the prime minister’s heart had been inclined to gamble with other departments for a century, and the notorious secretary of the navy would win back. He would be a great man in British history, and the British empire would be completely reduced from a world hegemon to a second-rate country. However, before betting, the prime minister had one last question.
"I have arranged everything just as I planned for the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet. I know that Jackson is not the man needed by the Royal Navy, but he is a technical officer. He can be careful to protect the Royal Navy to the greatest extent. His professional knowledge has contributed to the technical innovation of the naval battle of the Royal Navy. Finally, our Grand Fleet has a commander who can save the morale of the Grand Fleet and be able to counter Heidi Selim …" Belfo helped his head and said slowly, "And Jackson is the key to the victory door!"
"Well, Mr. Belfo, you talked about me!" After a brief encounter, Belfo said Bonalau, who handed out an old hand to his genus and ally, and the armed speed of the British chariot accelerated again. "I will deal with the parliament and the king, and you need to shorten the dawn.",
King Arthur, the mean and famous navy, finally loosened his face. Belfo took out a large cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth, telling every exciting news.
"Admiralty Spain zhèng fǔ incarnation negotiations have ended, and the Spanish have agreed to our plan, that is, fifteen million pounds for special lease, two old battleships in good working condition, and iron duke class’s design drawings and 135-inch main gun technology in exchange for two of the four Spanish-class battleships in service, which will be incorporated into the French Navy. The materials and engineers of the remaining two pocket battleships whose slipways are abandoned due to lack of parts will be compiled by us after completion."
"According to our agreement in France, once two Spanish-class battleships are incorporated into the French navy, France will send four isolated battleships to defend the eastern Mediterranean and put no less than 200,000 troops into war, which will make the Balkan direction tight, so Italy and Romania will vacillate, the Austro-Hungarian and Turkish navies will be re-suppressed, and the negotiations are nearing the end. In addition to Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay, the status of outsiders has yet to be determined. It is agreed in principle that we will hand over half of the new Asian islands to the equatorial northern German colony. They managed to attach a million pounds of loan and iron duke class technology in exchange for two King Kong-class patrol ships, Mr. Prime Minister, two King Kong-class patrol ships and two Spanish-class battleships. This is my warlords! " to be continued
The second gun chapter echoed Portsmouth horn (1)
From the Thames Tower Bridge, the first lighthouse stumbled across the land for almost ten minutes, and the sea off Greater London was vivid.
It’s rare that there is no Y and N haze. The air in the North Sea is so pure that Hannashaw can vaguely see the strangely shaped island-like building of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier across the vast sea.
The purple baron finally breathed a sigh of relief when he narrowly escaped from the thumping gunner. His life was in danger, but in less than half a minute, the tragedy broke down to the extreme and shattered Hannashaw’s fantasy.
The purple baron turned his head in horror to find the source of the explosion, and then found that the top wing on the right side of his plane had disappeared, and only a few of them were hanging around hundreds of feet above the fixed wing metal bracket.
Hannah Shaw’s consciousness deviated from the line of sight to catch the wing before it crashed into the sea. Hannah Shaw finally found his target and broke away from the broken wing of the fuselage like a thin piece of paper, spinning towards the blue sea at a strange angle in the sky.
After the disappearance of the top wing, the middle wing became loose, which made it more difficult for the fighter to control, and there was a narrow flight runway of the Zeppelin that bumped the sea ahead. Rao was a experienced flight, and cold sweat still seeped from his forehead. "
The wing debris hit the sea, and a little white spray splashed on the sea. Hannashaw’s fragile heart throbbed a little, and suddenly he felt that falling the wing debris was the reason why he could not escape his fate.
"Virgin Mary, I am still young. I haven’t tasted podol wine and Italian macaroni. I haven’t enjoyed enough warm red lips of Berlin girls. I didn’t come to Lucknow to break off my engagement …"
Hannashaw smashed and corrected the direction of the fighter nose. Less than a kilometer away from the mother ship, the fighter nose of Fokker E5 could only be turned at a slight angle. Finally, it was aimed at the flight deck of Zeppelin, regardless of the ship’s go-around. Hannashaw put all his eggs in one basket to slow down and reduce the flight altitude, and then he prayed to the emperor.
"The situation is not good. I need maintenance technicians, damage management teams and medical decks to be on standby at any time!" The captain of the air command tower picked up the telescope and grabbed the microphone and ordered
Hannashaw’s full-time maintenance technician rushed out of the hatch distraught, and he was ready to rescue the crew. Near the deck of the island, he looked at the injured fighter plane slowly approaching the Zeppelin.
The sea breeze whistled and painted with a ship number, and the bow was gorgeous and staggered. Later, the fighter plane landed hard about 40 meters from the top of the flight deck
The wooden plane is also a wooden flight deck. It jumped a little without considering the shock absorption cockpit. A little Mars grabbed the ā longitudinal bar. Hannashaw suddenly felt that his insides seemed to be displaced by violent vibration.
This is not the cruelest. Hannah Shaw vaguely heard the sound of broken wings, and the tendency of the fighter to lean to the left confirmed Hannah Shaw’s guess.
Hannashaw tried hard to hold the longitudinal bar, but the fighter plane still rushed to the ship island at a small angle, so there was a chicken flying and a dog jumping on the flight deck of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, and the panicked maintenance technicians and damage control team looked around for a place to hide.
The runaway fighter raced down the runway and Hannashaw finally regained his vision, but he hoped that he would lose it. It was not the great Purple Baron who had a tendency to self-harm, but the ship island of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier reflected in Hannashaw’s eyes like a mountain. Zoom in and zoom in until it was completely covered.
"Lucknow, help me!"
Hannashaw was desperate. He closed his eyes and roared.
The canvas skin sagged wildly, and the wind stopped. When the friction pin on the wooden deck of the tire disappeared, it solidified for a few seconds, and then the ear came again. The weight fell back to the deck at an inappropriate time.
"This is heaven?" Young Hannashaw opened his eyes and was embarrassed to find that the right wing of his landline had disappeared. Hannashaw’s face showed joy and Se quickly opened his second eyes.
At noon in April, the sun was lazy and folded into Hannashaw’s eyes, making him unable to see whether the propeller of the plane was in close contact with the island.
"Ha ha Lao is still alive!" Handsome and romantic Hannah Shaw lifted herself high in his cockpit and embraced the sunshine with his hands open.
"Hannashaw, why did you cry when you landed?" Concerned maintenance technician Otto Deslow’s door emerged from the corner and joked.
Facing the warm sunshine, Hannah Shaw’s cheek was blushing. A small piece of young people coughed lightly and tried to turn the page, but the angry voice of the old captain floated over.
"Damn guy, what have you done to the old boat!"
Just now, Hannah Shaw’s face suddenly changed, and Baron Se Zi jumped into the fighter plane in a panic while fleeing and shouted to his maintenance technician.
"Deslow, didn’t you say that even if I gave you a sampan, you could make it fly? Repair my landline as soon as possible and my landline is painted with four stars! "
(Gorgeous dividing line)
"It’s a big fleet, not Scarpa Bay. What does this mean? !”
General Betty’s repeated emphasis made Major General Osmond Brock, deputy commander of Scarpa Bay Base, shudder for a few seconds. When Major General Brock came to his senses, he couldn’t catch a flash of inspiration.
"Commander, urgent report from the Admiralty!"
The soldiers rushed into Scarpa Bay base, and the headquarters handed a newspaper whose corner was soaked with sweat to Major General Brock whose brow was about to condense into frost.
"How come the commander-in-chief of our big fleet and the admiralty are gossiping about my disrespect for life?" Disrupted thoughts, Major General Brock looked down at the newspaper and said, "Oh! You know, I have sent two reconnaissance cruisers, twelve destroyers, thirty reconnaissance fishing boats and more than twenty planes to the North Sea, but even Lord Jackson insisted that the German ambush fleet was not found! The children have done their best! "
"General, you misunderstood that this is a war bulletin." The soldiers were afraid to explain, "We have discovered the main force of the ocean fleet!"
"This cape? Thames? " Brock, major general consciousness rhetorical question 1 confirmed Brock has been out of his mind.
Major-General Brock is more worried about Betty’s final result being swept out of the house by the current commander-in-chief of the big fleet, Jackson. The former navy commander Brock knew that Jackson had infiltrated into the bone marrow. Y and N were dark and selfish. If the Germans really attacked Scarpa Bay, then he consulted General Betty, and this history would be completely erased. Jackson would naturally claim that he decided to enjoy the glory alone. If the Germans attacked the Thames and got permission from the Admiralty to retreat, Jackson wouldn’t mind dragging Betty to protect himself.
Major-General Brock went out on a warship and served longer than on land. Major-General jumped into a military vehicle and stepped on the gas pedal to the end, heading for the villa in the northern part of orkney Island like lightning.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the military vehicle scratched two deep ruts in the hardened mud, and the car key bounced out of his pocket and hid in the rut. Major General Brock forced his way in without showing his papers to the gendarmes guarding here. His shirt and tie were loose and his breathing became heavy. Major General Brock rushed into the room of David Betty, the former commander-in-chief of the fast fleet, dizzy.
"General, the news that the German fleet shelled and bombed London has been confirmed. In addition, the coastal reconnaissance plane Zcape found the main ship of the Ocean Fleet Department!"
"No, the Germans can’t spend the capital ship to kill the Thames coastal gun!" Carving a wooden model with a carving knife David Betty’s right hand trembled, and the sharp blade crossed his finger and blood spilled out and slipped off the battleship Queen Mary. "I know Heidi Selim. He is a real pie, otherwise he would not be exiled overseas for opposing the expansion plan of the battleship of the ocean fleet. The German goal is that the Thames is a big fleet. After all, there must be something missing!"
David Betty jumped up and grabbed Major General Brock’s shirt and collar, his eyes were full of worries about Britain and the big fleet, and he said rudely
"The main force of the big fleet has hid in Willis Bay." Major General Brock can’t grasp the key points in one breath, and he can remember the information. "According to the gossip of the admiralty, we will rent two Spanish-class pocket battleships from Spain, and they may be incorporated into the French Mediterranean Fleet. Besides, the two Ri-class war patrols are already ours!"
"Mr. Belfo did a good job," Betty sincerely praised, but her brow worries did not go away. "But the Germans don’t want to go to Spain to destroy those four pocket battleships, do they?"
"Murphy …" Major General Brock murmured, this time it was no longer a vague idea but a real soul trembling. Major General Brock turned to David Betty and said, "This is really Heidi Selim style!"
