"Everyone, the batch of Capital Ships purchased by the British Empire from United States has been completed. Everything is ready. Vice Admiral Martin can lead the fleet at any time and return to Britain to participate in the decisive battle with the Germany people." Churchill said.
"In this case, we will have thirty-six Capital Shipss participating in the decisive battle. In terms of number, the number of Capital Shipss is no less than that of Germanys!" Italian Navy Admiral Paul said excitedly.
Kingdom of Italy played no role in this war. However, their six Capital Shipss are what the Britain people urgently need now. Therefore, even though I look down on these Italy people from the bottom of my heart. But whether it is Churchill or John? Admiral Jellicoe, they all look kindly on Admiral Paul. This was almost impossible to happen when Royal Navy of the British Empire dominated the world.
"Indeed, although Germany people are very powerful, if our three countries unite, we still have a great chance of winning." Churchill said.
"Everyone, let's go to the office to discuss the specific combat plan in detail!" Churchill said.
Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul, of course there will be no objection to this.
When the secretary served the coffee and then exited, there were only four people left in the office: Churchill, John? Admiral Jellicoe, Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul.
"Everyone, I want to tell you solemnly. The outcome of this decisive battle will be related to the fate of our respective countries. If we can defeat the Germany people, then the current battlefield situation will be completely changed. We will no longer be passive, or even We can gradually take the initiative. It is not impossible to reverse the situation step by step and defeat the Germany people again. What this means to our countries must be very clear to everyone," Churchill said.
Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul both nodded seriously. They naturally know that this war is already very detrimental to Allied Powers. If no miracle happens, they will even lose this war completely. Therefore, this joint operation of the navies of the three countries has been regarded by all countries as the last life-saving straw. Once it fails, everything is lost. Leaders of various countries have called them, asking them to do their best in this naval battle and win.
The reactions of Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul made Churchill satisfied. He continued, "So, in this battle, we have to solve other problems and work together to ensure that our combat effectiveness can be fully exerted."
"In order to better command the fleet, I suggest that the Three Kingdoms Combined Fleet be formally established, with John? Admiral Jellicoe serving as Commander. Do you two have any objections?" Churchill then asked.
There is no other way to let John? Admiral Jellicoe command the fleet. Although, in the last decisive battle, John? Admiral Jellicoe failed. However, there is no doubt that he did his best. The reason why it failed was entirely because the enemy was too powerful.
"France has no objection." Admiral Lame said.
Admiral Paul also shook his head.
After all, among Combined Fleet, British Navy is still the most powerful. In addition to the eight Capital Ships currently moored at Morecambe Bay, there are also 12 Capital Ships purchased from United States. Altogether, there are already 20 ships. This already accounts for more than half of all Combined Fleet and all Capital Ships. In addition, John? Admiral Jellicoe has played against German Navy before, so he has rich experience. It's better to let him command the fleet than to let someone with no combat experience take command, right? After all, this is a battle related to the fate of the country, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"Then, you two will serve as deputy commanders of Combined Fleet. You will still command your own fleet. As for Fleet Chief of Staff, David? Vice Admiral Beatty will serve." Churchill continued.
In this regard, Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul also have no objection. Being able to command one's own country's fleet is already very good. At least you don't have to worry about being used as cannon fodder by the Britain people in the decisive battle.
"Admiral Jellicoe, please introduce the specific combat plan!" Churchill said.
"Yes, Your Excellency." John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded.
"Everyone, this time our decisive battle with the Germans is planned to take place in the western waters of the UK. First, a fleet of 12 battleships led by Vice Admiral Martin will attack the German break-up fleet. At the same time, we will lead the main force of the combined fleet from the Irish Sea to cut off the retreat of the German break-up fleet. Strive to defeat the German break-up fleet. Before the German main fleet arrives, try to inflict heavy damage on the German break-up fleet. If possible, it is best to kill all the battlecruisers in the German break-up fleet. In this way, we will have a greater advantage when fighting the German main fleet." Admiral John Jellicoe said.
British Navy's combat plan is not new. To put it bluntly, it is to gather superior forces and deal with German Navy's Commerce Raiding Fleet first. Then we have a decisive battle with Team Capital Ships of German Navy. In this case, Combined Fleet will have a great advantage in terms of strength.
"Admiral Jellicoe, Germany's Commerce Raiding Fleet are all made up of the fast Battlecruiser. Can we catch them?" Admiral Lame asked.
"We have barely figured out the patrol route of the Germany people's Commerce Raiding Fleet. In this case, we can ambush in advance and mobilize a large number of warships to surround them. Then attract more German warship to come, severely damage them, and annihilate them as much as possible!" John? Admiral Jellicoe said.
"Everyone, the Germany people are too strong. If we rush into a full-scale showdown with them, we won't have much chance of winning. Our only chance of winning is to weaken their strength step by step and then defeat them. Apart from this, there is no other way." Churchill said.
"Your Excellency, let's do it this way!" Admiral Lame said.
"Your Excellency Sir, when is the specific time set?" Admiral Paul asked.
"I will give an order to Vice Admiral Martin today to lead the fleet. In this case, in four days, we can launch an attack on Commerce Raiding Fleet of Germany. In other words, this decisive battle will begin in four days!" Churchill said.
Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul both nodded and had no objection to this. What they care about is not when they will have a decisive battle with German Navy, but whether they can defeat German Navy.
