Chapter 885 No Mercy, No Forgiveness 1

This pressure finally dissipated only after the war! But even so, at the Naval Armament Conference in Washington after the war, all British representatives refused to shake hands with Admiral Hipper. Admiral Hipper's reaction was bland: "I don't even bother to communicate with losers who massacre women and children."

Compared with the British's deep hatred, the German government and historians viewed Hipper's behavior as negative. First of all, German historians believe that under the conditions of international law at the time, even belligerent countries could not detain non-military supplies shipped by neutral countries to hostile countries, let alone forcibly redeem the cargo of neutral countries' ships. The British's actions had seriously trampled on the international norms of conduct at the time, and the Germans would naturally fight back against those who violated the "rules of the game." Secondly, the Germans believed that the British actions had extended the scope of attack to ordinary German people who were not directly related to the war, but the British blockade put them at risk of hunger and disease. Well, this behavior itself is a crime! The German understanding is that before any soldier actually puts on a uniform and goes into battle, his right to exist should not be threatened by war. The British's approach has pointed the contradiction at civilians. Naturally, the Germans will not show mercy to these civilian killers! In addition to Britain and Germany, which were in hostile camps in this war, some historians from neutral countries commented on this North Sea death prophecy, "In order to win the war, both parties fought for victory and interests. Gradually losing the most basic morals and norms, the British's behavior seems gentle, but it is a butcher's knife that kills without blood. When the opponent raises the butcher's knife, the Germans will naturally look at it differently. Therefore, in At the beginning of the war, the British chose blockade and the Germans chose submarine warfare. Then the two sides continued to escalate in the blockade and counter-blockade battles until they finally abandoned mercy and forgiveness." And when Hipper gave the fleet an order After receiving this order, although the fleet behind the mission to break the blockade was no longer Hipper's battlecruiser, they were all silently executing this order, not only because they hated the British blockade, but more importantly The thing is, too much sympathy is not allowed in war situations! The British's camouflaged submarine hunting ship has completely broken "the most basic trust between people." Therefore, for your own life assistance, do it as safely as possible! "Okay, remember my order and start executing the mission! I hope that before we evacuate today, there will no longer be a living British person in this sea area!" Hipper ignored some of his stunned subordinates. , said calmly. Five battlecruisers, along with a large number of light cruisers and destroyers, spread out in places the British would never expect! They were looking for the British warships like giant beasts hidden in the deep sea. At this time, these guys who were already good at bullying civilian ships had no idea what kind of terrifying existence they encountered this time! "We seem to have discovered a big guy!" the lookout finger of the 10,000-ton auxiliary cruiser Alsatian said, pointing to the vague outline on the sea in the distance. "Really? It's that ship. Can you tell by its appearance?" A British sailor under the mast immediately became interested. "It seems to be a flying fish, yes, it is a flying fish! The guy who escaped from us last time was the longest ship I have ever seen. I will definitely remember it." This person was originally in The lookout, who was a sailor on the cruise ship and is now a volunteer soldier, said excitedly. The high-speed merchant ship that repeatedly escaped from his hands was not called Flying Fish. It was just a nickname given by the sailors of the Alsatian. There were too many ship names and it was difficult to remember.

So, they always have a nickname for some impressive guys. And this time, the Alsatian finally found this "old enemy" again. After notifying the captain and the entire battleship sounding the alarm to prepare for war, the Alsatian began to approach the target.

"Send a telegram to the Minotaur armored cruiser. This time we need his help. We can only keep tracking. The real hunting depends on them." Captain Kaos said. The Flying Fish is a large cruise ship flying the Swedish flag. It was formerly the German fast cruise ship Crown Prince Wilhelm. After the war, it was "transferred" to Norway, and it wore the coat of a neutral country to transport various supplies to Germany. Generally speaking, Next time it sailed between the United States and Norway, relying on high speed to evade pursuit again and again. When fully loaded, the maximum speed of this cruise ship is about 21 knots, and the Alsatian is modified from a 10,000-ton dome-armored cruiser, with some artillery removed, but more added. personnel and lightning protection equipment (such as wood and empty barrels in watertight cabins). Then all of a sudden, this battleship, which was commissioned in 1895, became overloaded... Therefore, coupled with the tragic equipment aging problem, the original speed of 22 knots could not be reached at all, and it could only reach about 18 knots at most! "Judging from the course, this guy plans to repeat his old trick and enter Norwegian territorial waters. Fortunately, we can now cross it on its way to Norway, and then wait for the arrival of the Minotaur. Well, that's it! The battleship is heading 1 O'clock, full speed ahead," Major Cowes ordered. The Minotaur armored cruiser is the last British armored cruiser. It was originally intended to suppress the existence of other cruisers, but when the British and German battlecruisers were launched, this class of battleships became a very useless existence. It wanted output but not output, wanted speed but not speed, and wanted defense but not defense. . It was originally intended to be used for escort in the outer sea, but after the Su Xiong fleet entered the Indian Ocean, it could not go here, so it could only be brought back to the mainland and operated with the large fleet. If necessary, it could also be dealt with with 10-inch guns and 7.5-inch guns. What about a light cruiser? But now, because of the threat posed by camouflaged assault ships to auxiliary cruisers, these last-generation cruisers are used in blockade operations in the North Sea because of their huge endurance and strong combat effectiveness, specifically to hunt down those with higher speeds. cruise ship and exposed German camouflaged raider ship. Just a week ago, the Minotaur had just killed a camouflaged assault ship named Leopard, which was originally intended to sneak out of the North Sea! Since the Fourth Armored Cruiser Division participated in the blockade of the North Sea, the entire situation has improved a lot. Compared with the camouflaged assault ships, the armored cruisers with absolute firepower and speed advantages are excellent bodyguards for the auxiliary cruisers, and the mission pressure is A lot less.
