Germanic Empire: please call me William III
Chapter 186
The main forces of the Germanic Navy’s High Seas Fleet returned to Wilhelmshaven Naval Base after an armed cruise in the North Sea. Afterwards, return to the Kiel Harbor Naval Base via the Kiel Canal.
At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Naval Task Force also returned to the naval base in the port of Kiel.
Emperor August personally went to the naval base in the port of Kiel to welcome the officers and men of the Far East Fleet back safely.
“Your Excellency, your Excellency, the officers and men of the Far East Fleet, welcome home. God forbid, you are finally back in peace with the Empire itself. Thank you for fighting on the ocean for the Empire, the Empire will not forget you, and will always remember your merits! Auguste made a warm speech in the harbor, so that every sailor in the Far East Fleet could feel the care of the Emperor of the Empire for them.
This also made the officers and men of the Far East Fleet and even the entire navy extremely excited. His Majesty the Emperor was particularly admired and supported.
“Your Majesty, there are only two light cruisers left in the Far East Fleet, and the losses are great, and I have the trust of Your Majesty!” Count Spey looked ashamed.
“Your Excellency, Don’t say that. It is a great credit that you were able to return safely, that you were able to bring back most of the officers and men of the Far East Fleet. I approve you to take two months off before returning to serve in the Navy. Next, we will also receive a large number of capital ships. You and the officers and men of the Far East Fleet still have a lot to do.
Although, from now on, the far east fleet was temporarily dismantled. However, I can assure you that the Far East Fleet will be rebuilt. When we have won this war, the Far East Fleet will be rebuilt. And, in the future, the Far East Fleet will be even more powerful! ”
August said to the crowd.
“Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Empire! The admirals of the Navy shouted.
It can be said that the Germanic Imperial Navy was a great victory in this operation. Not only did he save the Far East Fleet, but he also killed three battlecruisers at the cost of a heavy cruiser.
The Germanic Imperial Navy made a lot of money this time!
The biggest loss is naturally the Imperial Royal Navy. Not only did they lose three battlecruisers, but they were also stunned by the Germanic Imperial Navy. More importantly, the safe return of the Germanic Imperial Naval Task Force undoubtedly hit them in the face.
So much so that the Gaul Andio Empire sent telegrams asking if they could deal with the Germanic Imperial Navy.
If the Royal Navy is unable to accomplish this task, there may be many variables in this war against the German Empire.
The upper echelons of the Empire had to assure the Gaul and the Russian Empire that this time it was all an accident. The Imperial Navy had enough strength to blockade the Germanic Empire against the Germanic Imperial Navy.
After dealing with the cross-examination of the Gaul Andio Andio Empire, Prime Minister Asquis of the Empire of the Rising Sun naturally became angry and summoned the Minister of the Navy, Sir John Fisher, and scolded him.
Prime Minister Asquith claimed that such a situation must not happen again. Otherwise, Sir John Fisher would resign himself.
You know, Sir John Fisher is the soul of the Imperial Royal Navy over the years. His will was implemented in the overall shipbuilding concept of the Royal Navy, and it had a very great influence in the Royal Navy.
Prime Minister Asquis said such a serious thing directly, which shows how dissatisfied with the Navy’s performance this time.
When Sir John Fisher returned to the Admiralty, he naturally conveyed the pressure of Prime Minister Asquith to the top of the Royal Navy.
“Gentlemen, Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very dissatisfied with the performance of the Royal Navy this time. Not only did we lose three battlecruisers, but we were also humiliated. As you can imagine, the whole world is laughing at us now. Such a thing can never happen a second time. Sir John Fisher was in the middle of the meeting, with a somber face throughout.
“Sir, we will keep an eye on the Germans next, and we will never let their capital ships slip into the North Sea, let alone let them slip into the Atlantic. The main force of the Royal Navy will always sit in Scarpa Bay! Marshal William May gritted his teeth.
“Yes, Sir. The main forces of the Royal Navy were already gathered in northern anchorages such as Scapa Bay. The Germans would never have another chance. With our more powerful capital ships such as the Revenge class battleships and the Brave class battlecruisers in service, our numerical superiority over the Germanic capital ships became even greater and more pronounced. The Germans wanted to defeat us in naval battles, which was simply delusional! Admiral Hudworth Mox also said.
Sir John Fisher nodded.
“Well, then do it. Next time, the Royal Navy must give the Germans a little color to see, to let them know how tragic the fate of the Royal Navy is. We must not let them succeed anymore! said Sir John Fisher.
“Yes, Sir!” Marshal William May and Admiral Herdworth Mox answered.
Sir John Fisher was also acutely aware of the larger number of capital ships of the Royal Navy, although more than the Germanic Imperial Navy.
However, in terms of single-ship performance, the Royal Navy was not an opponent of the Germanic Imperial Navy. So much so that the Royal Navy faced the Germanic Imperial Navy without numerical superiority, and it was difficult to have any advantage. Even, it will pay a heavy price.
The sinking of three Invincible-class battlecruisers is already the best example.
Of course, Sir John Fisher had never thought of using the Invincible class battlecruiser against the Germanic Navy’s battlecruisers.
The Invincible class battlecruisers were designed to deal with Germanic light cruisers and heavy cruisers.
But who knew that the Germanic Imperial Navy would secretly send two battlecruisers to sneak into the Atlantic?
So much so that the sun never sets The Imperial Navy paid a heavy price.
Sir John Fisher then ordered construction of two Nelson-class battleships and four Admiral-class battlecruisers to begin as soon as possible.
Among them, the Nelson-class battleships were equipped with 406 mm main guns. The Admiral-class battlecruisers were armed with a 381 mm main gun.
