The outcome of the war is that some people are happy and some are sad. The winner will certainly be happy, but the loser will undoubtedly be gloomy.
What's more, this time the decisive battle between Germany and Allied Powers Combined Fleet is related to the fate of the Britain, France, and Italy Three Kingdoms. These three countries have placed almost all their hopes on this war. If they lose, they will have no other choice in this war.
British Admiralty, Churchill locked themselves in the office. His secretary was ordered not to bother him with anything other than the outcome of the naval battle.
Churchill has put all his thought into this decisive battle. In order to let British Navy regain the strength to compete with German Navy, he did not hesitate to go to United States. With his sharp tongue, he persuaded US government and sold 12 active Capital Ships to Britain. Although, Britain paid a high price for this. However, I got an opportunity to challenge German Navy again. As long as they can seize this opportunity and defeat German Navy. Then, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it.
For the current British Empire, they want to continue to exist. In other words, to preserve most of the country's interests, we must win this naval battle. Otherwise, once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. British Empire may no longer exist. Even if you surrender to the Germany people, the price you pay will probably be very harsh. British Empire will be reduced from a world hegemon to a third-rate small country. This is definitely not acceptable to Britain people. If they fight to the end, the powerful Germany people can also destroy them. At that time, Britain will still be at the mercy of Germany people.
"May God bless British Empire. We must defeat the Germany people in this naval battle! This is our only chance!" Churchill secretly prayed to God.
Indeed, this is Britain's last chance. If all fails this time. Then, Britain is completely finished. The Combined Fleet now pieced together is the last maritime force that Britain can muster.
"Bang! Bang!"
There was a knock on the office door, and Churchill, who was in chaos, suddenly woke up.
"Is there any result? I hope God can bless British Empire!" Churchill prayed.
"Come in!" Churchill shouted outside the door.
The secretary then opened the door and walked in.
Churchill keenly noticed that the expression on the secretary's face was a little unnatural, which made his mood suddenly become very bad. He had a very bad feeling that Royal Navy seemed to have lost this decisive battle again. Although, he was very reluctant to accept this reality. But he knows that whether he wants it or not, reality cannot be changed.
"Sir, this is Telegram from Admiral Beatty!" the secretary said.
"Sent from Admiral Beatty? Where is Admiral Jellicoe?" Churchill frowned, and he felt more and more that something was not quite right.
"Admiral Jellicoe was killed in action." the secretary said softly.
Suddenly, Churchill was speechless as if he had been struck by lightning. Even John? Admiral Jellicoe was killed, which shows how far this battle has gone.
After a while, Churchill said, "Okay, Telegram, give it to me, you can get out!"
"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary immediately withdrew as if he had received an amnesty. He has already seen Telegram, so he naturally knows what it is about. He believed that Churchill would be furious after seeing Telegram. If he continues to stay here, he might become the target of Churchill's anger. Therefore, it is better to hide out quickly.
Seeing the secretary running away like a frightened rabbit, Churchill couldn't help but shook his head. He is now certain that Royal Navy failed again this time. Otherwise, the secretary wouldn't be so scared.
Churchill Open Telegram and read it carefully. However, as he looked at it, his face turned livid, his hands were clenched into fists, and they were constantly shaking. It can be seen how angry he is in his heart.
"Asshole! How could this battle end like this? All Capital Ships were lost, and only one Battlecruiser with Germany people was sunk. Is it possible that German Navy is really invincible?" Churchill roared angrily.
The secretary hiding outside the door couldn't help but shrink his neck. He was very happy that he ran fast. Otherwise, he would have to bear the wrath of Churchill.
"The reason why Jellicoe chose to sink with the ship was entirely because he was completely in despair! Damn French and Italy, they actually escaped! They are all cowards!" Churchill yelled.
Although, he knew it in his heart. In that case, even if French Navy and Italian Navy don't escape, it will just make Germany people have to work harder. In the end, they will all be annihilated by German Navy. But even so, the behavior of French Navy and Italian Navy was still unacceptable to him.
"It's over! It's all over! Royal Navy is finished, British Empire is finished too!" Churchill's eyes were red.
Before this naval battle broke out, Churchill had imagined that maybe Royal Navy would fail this time. However, he never expected that Royal Navy would be defeated so miserably this time. Of course, some small and medium-sized warships escaped back, but what's the use? All Capital Ships have been wiped out. German Navy's loss was very slight. Churchill is almost certain that Germany will launch an attack on British mainland soon. Of course, the prerequisite is that Britain does not surrender and chooses to continue to resist.
This disastrous defeat is not only bad news for Churchill, but also undoubtedly bad news for the entire British Empire. This indicates that all British Empire's efforts have failed. What awaits them is to lose this war completely.
Churchill vented for a while in the office, and the situation calmed down.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to Prime Minister's residence!" Churchill said.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Royal Navy failed, then this news obviously cannot be concealed or concealed. Churchill needs to report this bad news to Prime Minister Asquith. Then, everyone discusses countermeasures together. Of course, there are now very few options left for the British Empire to choose from.
