Respectfully

During the Battle of Jutland during the First World War, both the British Royal Navy and the German Imperial Navy dispatched their main fleets, which was a collision of absolute strength between the two naval powers.

Whether it is the total tonnage of the fleet or the caliber of the artillery, Britain is far superior to Germany.Although the German naval fleet is known as the second largest in the world, since the beginning of the war, except for submarines and some light ships, the main German fleet has always been unable to fight against the British home fleet and can only retreat in the harbor.The German navy was very annoyed, but it did not lose its mind. Using warships with a total tonnage of only half that of the British navy to fight the opponent is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

The new commander of the German High Seas Fleet, General Scheer, was a strategic commander. In order to defeat the British Navy, he formulated a bold battle plan.

By attacking and harassing the British coastline, luring some British warships out of port, and then using the main German fleet to annihilate them, in order to consume the strength of the British navy, and then wait for an opportunity to fight the main force of the British navy.

The seemingly impeccable combat plan is not intended to be kept secret. Due to the credit of Russian submarines and divers, the code book and semaphore manual of the German Navy fell into the hands of the British, who deciphered the German radio code.The German Navy during World War I made the same mistakes as Rommel, the desert fox during World War II. As a result of short-legged intelligence work, their every move fell into the eyes of the British.

Li Jinyan did not know about this episode before the Battle of Jutland.Even if he knew, he wouldn't think twice to remind the Germans.What if the Germans or the British follow the vine and touch him and get into trouble?

It is enough to watch the fire from the other side and add a few sticks of firewood. It is not for a smart person to set himself on fire.

General Jericho, the commander of the British Navy, received top-secret information from London. After learning about the German Navy's combat plan, he formulated a combat plan that was almost exactly the same as that of the German Navy Commander Scheer.

It's just that Scheer's combat purpose is to destroy some British warships, and Jericho's ambitions are even greater. He wants to swallow all the main German fleet alive.

The commanders of the decoy fleets on both sides are British Vice Admiral Beatty and German Admiral Hipper.

In the early morning of May 5, Hipper followed the order of General Scheer and led the fleet to set off from the German harbor, and the British fleet led by Beatty also set off immediately.

They searched for each other in the vast sea, and Betty was more eager to find each other than Hipper due to errors in the messages sent by the Navy Department and the Government Intelligence Department.But often the more impatient, the less able to achieve the expected goal. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Betty and Hipper discovered each other's existence because of a passing merchant ship making soy sauce.

The decoy fleets that met all thought that their own battle plan had worked, and at the same time opened up their pilots, preparing for a big battle.

Hipper was looking forward to the arrival of the German main fleet led by Scheer, and sent the British fleet in front of him to the bottom of the sea. Betty desperately chased behind the German bait fleet in order to find the German main fleet at sea, so that After the arrival of the main force of the British navy led by General Jericho, they were able to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop.

The goddess of victory made a cruel joke, which made the commanders of both Britain and Germany think that victory would eventually be on their side.

Betty and Hipper issued combat orders at the same time, signal lights and semaphore soldiers, and conveyed the commander's orders one ship after another. This process took more than ten minutes.

It wasn't until around [-]:[-] in the afternoon that the battle really started.

The initial battlefield situation was very favorable to the German army. They used the light and smoke to make the British navy misjudge and make mistakes in firepower distribution. They turned a blind eye to the powerful German battleship "Derfflinger", but concentrated their firepower on a German light ship. cruiser.

For the captain and officers and men of this German light cruiser, the whole process was painful and joyful. After all, they attracted most of the British firepower and won the opportunity for other warships to attack. However, the British Two battlecruisers, surrounded by a light cruiser, is like two heavyweight boxers besieging a lightweight, so fucking bullying!The officers and soldiers on the ship also tried to fight back, but in the end... there was no good result.

The battle of the decoy fleet lasted for 10 minutes. Both sides felt that the naval guns were not enough to bombard them, so they fired torpedoes again, but unfortunately none of them hit the target.

During the battle, some of the British warships suffered a great loss because they did not have protective armor. German shells could easily penetrate the ammunition bays of British warships, but the British could not do it.

German armored cruisers are not as fast as British battlecruisers, but with the impact on the hull, their self-protection capabilities are far ahead.

Betty's fleet was battered and scarred, and a cruiser had been hit by the ammunition compartment and sank to the bottom of the sea, but the British still persisted, and their persistence was rewarded. The main fleet of the German Navy led by General Scheer finally appeared.

When the final goal appeared, Betty no longer wanted to fight, and ordered all the British warships to turn around immediately and run first!

The Germans will naturally not give up such a "great opportunity", chase, must chase!

The situation on the sea changed immediately, from the German ship running and the British ship chasing, to the British ship running ahead and the German ship chasing behind.

The Germans chased and fired at the British. The Hipper Fleet, which was the first to exchange fire with Betty, was like a shark smelling blood, biting the British tightly and not sending them all to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. Swear not to give up.

British warships were hit repeatedly, and one of them was hit by a torpedo, but it was always sailing "firmly" on the sea, and it would not sink even if it was killed.

Betty kept sending telegrams to the main British fleet, reporting his location, but unfortunately the telegrams were misinterpreted. Before the life-saving reinforcements appeared, Betty's fleet could only continue to run like burning buttocks, leaving the Germans behind Chase and bang.

It wasn't until [-] o'clock in the evening that the main British fleet led by Jericho arrived late. The only thing Betty wanted to do after escaping was to greet all the female relatives of the Germans.

The main British fleet rushed towards the Germans aggressively, and the main fleet of the German Navy immediately realized that something was wrong.

The tide of the naval battle was reversed again, and the British once again had an absolute advantage.

The number of British warships on the sea has reached 150, while the number of German warships is only in the early [-]s.In the era of giant ships and cannons, such a comparison of strength is quite terrifying and deadly.If one is not careful, the seabed of Jutland will become the burial place of the main German fleet.

The only thing that can comfort the Germans is that the German navy is superior to the British army in night combat.German naval commander Scheer ordered the entire fleet to turn 180 degrees, and dispatched all destroyers to conduct indiscriminate attacks on British warships from different angles.

The destroyer's firepower is not strong, but it has a big killer that can stop the British, the torpedo!

Time passed bit by bit, the Germans were racing against time to survive, and the British were also trying their best to kill.

On the dim sea, the fleets of both sides fired at each other aimlessly with the help of searchlights, flares and artillery shells hitting the fire ignited by the ship.In this case, the three-dimensional range finder equipped on the German warships can't play a role, and their purpose is no longer to destroy more British warships. They just want to drag the British as much as possible and let the main force of the German fleet run away. .

The German destroyers and light cruisers stood in front of the British desperately, causing considerable trouble to the British.British naval commander Jericho ordered the warship to slow down out of prudence and referring to the British army's combat manual.

This gave the Germans a chance of survival. After the main German fleet led by Scheer broke away from the battle circle, the only thing to do was to flee back to the German harbor before the British caught up.

A few hours later, there was another brief exchange of fire between the British fleet and the German rearguard fleet. In this engagement, the British had four destroyers sunk, but the Germans only sank one old ironclad ship to the bottom of the sea.

At four o'clock in the morning, the British fleet at sea received information that the main German fleet had safely returned to the naval port.

Having lost their hunting target and missed the best opportunity to attack, Generals Jericho and Betty had no choice but to turn around and return.

At this point, the largest naval battle in the early twentieth century, and the last large-scale battleship duel in world history, came to an end.

After the Battle of Jutland, both Germany and Britain declared themselves victors, but they were also dissatisfied with the results.The British thought it was an unpleasant battle, and the Germans were not happy about it.

Although the Germans sank more British warships, the British succeeded in blocking the Germans in the naval port again.Until the end of World War I, the German fleet failed to play a greater role.

As the Americans said, the German fleet was like a prisoner in prison. It fought hard to attack the British guard, but was still locked in prison.

However, although Germany's main battleship avoided being sunk by the British, after the signing of the armistice treaty, it was scuttled into the sea by the German sailors themselves. The French who came to receive the ship could only watch helplessly. any way.

Are you going to shoot?That only helped the Germans scuttle the ship faster.

After the Battle of Jutland, Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered that the German fleet should not take any more risks.Unrestricted submarine warfare, halted by neutral protests, is about to be repeated because the German fleet is no match for the British navy.

Just as the British and German fleets were fighting fiercely at sea, and the sea and the sky were dyed red by artillery fire, the night sky of Huaxia Capital also burst into gorgeous fireworks.

The streets and alleys of the capital are crowded with excited crowds. On Chang'an Street, more than a dozen square fireworks are lined up. As the fireworks are ignited and explode, one after another fireworks are in full bloom in the air, as if they are rushing down. The star river illuminates the entire night sky.

On the city tower, President Lou Da, Sima Jun and others stood side by side, talking while watching the fireworks.

Elder Bai and Elder Gu are also in high spirits, as if they were ten years younger in an instant, "Fire trees and silver flowers, phoenixes fly and dragons soar, I will regain my former glory, and the prosperity of China will not be far away."

Mrs. Lou and her family members stood behind the tower to watch the ceremony. Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Zhan, and the wives who came to Beijing with the governors and commanders from various provinces, although they never showed up at the military parade, they knew every detail clearly. .The husband can stand on the city tower, before the people, and the son can carry the national flag on his shoulders and win the cheers of the people. How can he not be honored.

Different from other wives, the wives of Sanma are all neatly dressed, with double-breasted tops and trousers with tight feet, and a pistol and dagger hanging from their waists.Ma Qingxiang's wife, Ma Shaoshuai's biological mother, the pistol on her waist is still the Type 15 that Li Jinyan brought from Guanbei. It was originally a box cannon. After seeing the Type 15, the box cannon was retired. up.

Mrs. Ma's profile was very deep, with an exotic style. Young Marshal Ma's appearance followed his mother's, with the same high nose and deep eyes, and an extraordinary handsome appearance.

Don't look at Ma Qingxiang's wives, big and small, and many sons, but in the backyard of Ma's house, Mrs. Ma absolutely agrees with one thing, refuses to accept?She dared to use a knife and a gun against Marshal Ma, let alone others?

Mrs. Lou has a good impression of Mrs. Ma. On the contrary, she is very indifferent to Mrs. Han Anshan, the governor of Shandong Province. Well, apart from the wives of officials from Shandong, few people present were willing to talk to her.

After the fireworks, all the street lamps were turned on, as well as temporary electric lamps and hanging lanterns, illuminating several streets in the capital like daytime, and the traditional dragon and lion dances celebrated by Chinese people appeared one after another. There were orange-red sparks, and all the viewers applauded loudly.

Temporary stages were set up at intervals of more than ten steps, and various juggling tricks, North and South operas were staged in turn. The voices of people rubbed shoulders one after another, and the opera singing could not be heard clearly, so they all went to martial arts. Amidst the sound of gongs, a martial artist As soon as they got the applause, a group of monkeys and grandchildren jumped out and tossed and turned on the stage, somersaulting one by one.

The bustle in the capital made the Chinese people sitting in front of the radio equally excited.Today's Huaxia, today's country, makes the common people have hope.

Li Jinyan was walking among the crowd, holding two packs of snacks in his arms and half a twist in his mouth. Adjutant Liu and several soldiers in casual clothes were guarding him. Whenever he turned his gaze to a certain booth, Naturally, there will be soldiers who will come forward to "do it for you".

Li Jinyan thanked him with a smile, and turned his head to stare at the monkey on the stage who was doing somersaults without taking his eyes off it.

He doesn't understand opera, but this somersault is really beautiful.

He knew about the fireworks after the military parade, but the dragon and lion dance, and then the stage... Which genius thought of this?Although the "procedure" is a bit strange, like holding a temple fair, it is really lively,

There are more and more people, and for many people, it is destined to sleepless tonight.

After looking at the time, Li Jinyan didn't plan to go shopping anymore. He also had a certain understanding of his identity. Most of the time, he couldn't do things as he pleased.

"Adjutant Liu, let's go home."

"Will Yan Shao stop playing for a while?"

"No." Li Jinyan smiled, and put the last piece of dim sum into his mouth. The crispy skin was only slightly sweet, and even Li Jinyan, who can't eat sweets, liked it very much.

Li Jinyan said that he was going back, and the soldiers would naturally not object. Several people walked out of the crowd, and several soldiers came up to meet him. More people followed Li Jinyan than ever before.

Back at the Presidential Palace, President Lou and Mrs. Lou were not there, there was only a room full of handsome young men with tall legs and long legs carrying various stars, standing or sitting, talking and chatting in the living room, and three of them were playing around the table Playing cards.

Li Jinyan paused, turned to look at the maid at the door, her cheeks were flushed, and her heart was moving.Not just the little girl, but even he felt like being blinded when he saw the shiny creatures in this room.

From military uniforms, to military ranks, to the military caps held by several people, Li Jinyan can easily guess their identities, whether they are young commanders or young commanders.

However, among this group of handsome second generations, the most eye-catching one is still Young Master Lou.The dark eyebrows and eyes, under the light, can almost make people look enchanted.

Li Jinyan hesitated, should he go in and say hello?

Before he could think about it, the people in the living room had already seen him. Young Marshal Lou waved his hand and signaled him to go over. Song Wu who was sitting beside him smiled and said, "Cousin is back, isn't it lively outside?"

Li Jinyan is still not used to his familiar attitude, and Song Wu's attitude tonight seems to be more "friendly" than before.

Marshal Lou pulled Li Jinyan to his side and introduced everyone in the room to him one by one. Li Jinyan nodded and said hello to everyone, while secretly baffled, how did they grow up?

Isn't it clear that people are envious, jealous and hateful?

Everyone has heard about this golden doll in Lou Xiao's family.They didn't feel too surprised when they saw the deity, but it was Li Jinyan's appearance and conversation that gave them a feeling of "it should be like this".

Although this group of handsome second generations are not dudes, they are all naturally domineering. As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman?

Lou Xiao still got married, and he will leave it to the brothers of Shaoshuai Ma, if he doesn't get married, he will just snatch her away.

When meeting for the first time, it is natural to give a gift.

Seven greetings, four pistols, two daggers, and a saber with a gold handle.

Looking at these in front of him, Li Jinyan didn't know what expression to put on.Should it be said that the tastes of these handsome second generations are so similar?Even the meeting gifts given out are "exactly the same".

But since they were all given away, Li Sanshao could only accept them with a smile.After thinking about it, it should be considered a "record" to be able to receive the greeting gifts from seven young marshals at once...
