"This is a hobby that I cultivated in my spare time in 1994." David Betty found a comfortable place to sit and hold a fishing rod, and repeatedly speculated that Marshal Hill had come all the way to chat with him, and his mouth was not idle. He was a little sad and explained, "I haven’t touched a fishing rod for many years, but I didn’t expect the technology to return."

"The Campedang incident?" Hill people are old enough to easily change the unpleasant topic. "194 was really lively. If I remember correctly, you were waiting at the shipyard for the completion of the repair of the armored ship Campedang, and Jellicoe, the captain of the Victoria, got rid of the charges against him by the military court, and the three musketeers of the German strategic Shuang Jie and Kiel Sea School joined the German navy that year."
David Betty smiled awkwardly. In 1993, the flagship Victoria of the Mediterranean Fleet sank in Campedang, including the death of the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Trane, and the collision of 357 officers and men. David Betty still thinks it is a terrible nightmare.
"Betty, what do you think of my old rival, Marshal Alfred von Erpitz, the German Minister of the Navy?" Hill narrowed his eyes and looked like he was trying to get into school.
"Although it lacks strategic foresight, it can turn the poor German navy into the second largest ocean fleet in the world, which deserves our respect." David Betty was wary and grabbed the fishing rod, and his words were watertight.
"Yeah …" Hill slightly raised his head and stared at the blue sky, trying to hide a lost veteran’s eyes in front of young people, feeling lonely and bitter. Hill actually had a feeling of appreciate each other for his old enemy on the other side of the North Sea. He sighed "It’s a pity that Erpitz also resigned."
Erpitz resigned? That paranoid, grumpy guy will never relent, and his good friend Selim has been holding the post of German Minister of the Navy for more than ten years and seventeen years, and the old guy actually resigned? The shocking news jumped out of Marshal Hill’s mouth and made David Betty’s scalp numb. Suddenly, he felt that the world was ridiculous.
"Although it didn’t even know about the German navy’s top management, it was the day before yesterday that Erpitz sent a private message to me …"
Marshal Hill added that David Betty’s fantasy was shattered. Before 1914, Hill left his job in a daze, but after Erpitz retired, how far could the ocean fleet go without Erpitz’s suppression of Franz von hippel and Heidi Selim, the leader of the young German navy? Will the German navy take asymmetric warfare against Britain? Will the ocean fleet change its old lethargy and prudence and become determined to forge ahead?
David Betty, the first-line commander of the big fleet, can’t sit still. He has a premonition that the quiet North Sea is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and he must make corresponding plans as soon as possible!
"general, what did you want to see me for?" David Betty is a little anxious. He defines himself as a professional soldier rather than a liar. He can’t learn from the fact that politicians are paralyzed and black. He takes a deep breath and goes straight to the marshal.
Marshal hill was silent for a moment and looked down at the flowing water of Spee River. "David Betty, can I entrust you with the future of the navy?"
"What?" The fishing rod in David Betty’s hand trembled slightly, and the fish just bit the hook and escaped with alarm, leaving a full face of consternation. David Betty.
"To be honest, Erpitz lost to him in the end." Marshal Hill frowned and was unwilling. "I really envy that old guy. His ocean fleet has both a first-class naval tactical commander hippel and a rare strategic genius Selim, but the big fleet has a David Betty!"
"Marshal, you can trust Admiral John Jellicoe!" Jellicoe is the main member of "Hill Gang". David Betty is not sure about Hill’s insincere compliment.
"Even you know that John Jellicoe is a holdover. He can’t get rid of the military navy minister, and he can’t tell others what to do. He can’t cope with the complicated and changeable situation in the post-Erpitz era by remote blockade." Marshal Hill’s bleak eyes became sharper with the rising tone. He stared at David Betty’s slightly nervous face and said, "But you are different. Everyone knows that you are a brave and resourceful expert, but I know that your limit is not this. Your strategy is no better than Heidi’s. -You will be an indispensable soul of the big fleet in the post-Sillem Erpitz era. What you lack is an opportunity, a bigger stage than the first battle cruiser sub-fleet, and I can give you all these. "
Marshal Hill paused in a hasty tone and asked, "David Betty, can I entrust you with the future of the navy?"
"But I’m from Churchill!" David Betty that young agitation flustered a crustily skin of head in a fog replied.
"You are wrong, son. You are David Betty of the Royal Navy and David Betty of the British Empire, not Winston Churchill." The 74-year-old veteran shook his head and told him everything. "I know that my old rival, Erpitz, will never give up starting a business by himself easily unless he has found a successor and the lucky guy has arranged everything, Betty. I have a hunch that it will not be Reinhard von Schell but Heidi.
After a brutal bloody battle, the sweetness of love is always a bit hard to accept. However, the naval captain Otto Weddigen or the Rand Weddigen family from Raffenseberg loved the wedding of the U-9 submarine captain Otto-Weddigen William Cathedral on the fourth day after the naval battle in Golan Bay, Ziher.
Weddigen’s family has produced many great people, including Protestant religionists, scientists, economists and businessmen. Weddigen’s family has connections from all walks of life, Weddigen’s naval colleagues, and the emperor, naval and army executives and journalists from all walks of life who came to hear about it. William Weddigen’s cathedral, his childhood sweetheart Linda’s wedding as scheduled, is bound to make a sensation in Germany.
It’s still the same old story. The lover priest and the cross promised to exchange rings and vowed to protect each other forever. The otaku has reason to love Weddigen and Linda, and he has a good excuse to laugh and curse at the solemn scene
In the midsummer of 1992, Catherine Shihe, a big businesswoman in Kiel, and a high-ranking member of parliament, Little Victor’s wedding caused a sensation in the city. In the winter of 1992, the wedding of Anne, the little daughter of Haidi Shrek, ended in a poor chapel in Kiel District. In that year, four young people were shocked that it was a wrong love, regardless of their promises, and they did not finish the journey. The most beautiful love was Gao Fushuai’s short and ugly love!
The priest announced that Weddigen and Linda were married, and the champagne was opened. The band played cheerful music, cheers and blessings. The cathedral echoed, but Haidi was dizzy and always felt that this happiness was turned into pressure.
The couple threw out the flowers with the love of God, and accidentally got into the hands of Lieutenant Lauren. The wretched hand of Wang Haidi was so shy that it seemed like a hot potato. He stuffed the flowers straight into Wang Haidi’s hands. The otaku was able to be natural and graceful and smiled at the wedding ring.
Shi Haidi is not a person who doesn’t understand amorous feelings. This is for Catherine.
"Are you all right?" The couple pursed their lips and took the flowers away and decided to throw them again. Catherine hesitated for a moment, but after all, she came over and asked a small question. Then she replied for Wang Haidi independently, "Hey, this question is really interesting. You have a good life. The newspapers are full of news about you. Congratulations to Major General Heidi Sillem, deputy commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet!"

"Are you all right?" The couple pursed their lips and took the flowers away and decided to throw them again. Catherine hesitated for a moment, but after all, she came over and asked a small question. Then she replied for Wang Haidi independently, "Hey, this question is really interesting. You have a good life. The newspapers are full of news about you. Congratulations to Major General Heidi Sillem, deputy commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet!"
Captain Weddigen’s wedding sensationalized German Kiel businessman, chemical tycoon Dick and his baby daughter Catherine were naturally invited. Just as Catherine was intellectually charming in those years, those who belonged to young people gradually became indifferent with the passage of time. After all, she was absolutely beautiful and left a pale mark.
"vielleih (maybe) …" Wang Haidi smiled freely, and the newspaper was full of white bones behind the victory, as well as the ups and downs of the political struggle after the naval battle and the fact that he had to face his new rival Wang Haidi. Everything seemed to melt into the quiet and happy church and dissipate.
"Heidi-Selim was promoted to Rear Admiral and transferred to Deputy Commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet; Cancel the post of Major General Mas, commander of the Second Reconnaissance Fleet, and Commander-in-Chief of the Hewan Patrol Fleet, which belonged to the former Hewan Defense Command; The airship squadron of the former Hedao Defense Command and the coastal defense forces were formed under the command of Hedao Command! "
General George von Mueller, the conservative flag of the Admiralty and the minister of the Admiralty Cabinet, proudly introduced the full-scale French offensive of the Imperial Army and the prospect of a light war, and then read out a list of lives on behalf of Emperor William.
Otaku has been promoted again. Wang Haidi’s life track is always so wonderful. It took a few months for him to graduate from the military academy as an alternate lieutenant officer to a navy lieutenant. After 19 years of parliamentary debate, the otaku was in full swing, like a burst balloon. After 16 years of overseas displacement, he was only promoted to a navy captain. At the beginning of 1914, hippel and Lei Deer made great efforts to return to the rank of ocean fleet from Istanbul’s barren land, and with the cloud of large-scale European war and the accumulation of European savings and 20 years’ service, the military quality soared like a rocket, from naval captain to chief staff officer and naval lieutenant colonel of the first reconnaissance fleet for only four months. Less than a month after the outbreak of the war, Wang Haidi finally passed the threshold that several people have spent their lives but still can’t get what they want.
"Is this a consolation prize?" Major-General Wang Haidi, who has been ranked in the front row of the meeting room of the naval headquarters, took the seal of the secretary of the navy and turned to look at Lieutenant General Franz von hippel with a wry smile way
Although the commander of Hewan Defense Command is higher than the rank of major general and deputy commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, the actual position of Hewan Defense Command is far more affordable than the deputy commander of the fleet in name only. Moreover, the nature and functions of Hewan Defense Command also determine the arduousness and frequent fighting, and only the meritorious deeds, glory and victory that war soldiers and passers-by like best can be at your fingertips.
Everyone can see that this is the Imperial Admiralty’s revenge on Wang Haidi for a series of defiant and provocative acts during the chief officer of Hewan Defense Command. From the frown of erich Lei Deer, the staff officer of the War Department of the General Staff of the Navy, it can be seen that the Imperial Propaganda Department and the Admiralty boast that Wang Haidi has never lost since the war in the North Sea, and has become a German Nelson. It is out of place to suppress national heroes at this time, but it is the best lesson for those politicians in the Admiralty to be tactful and tactful!
Wang Haidi hasn’t been discouraged. She has been suppressed and refrigerated by the Admiralty more than once or twice. From 19 years, she has been in a state of panic, and now she is natural and full of confidence. Nearly 20 years of wandering life has given Wang Haidi a lot of experience and wealth.
The naval battle in Golan Bay, Ziher, broke the myth that the Royal Navy was invincible. The low morale of the ocean fleet was swept away at the beginning of the war, and now the naval officers and men are in full swing. They are not satisfied with the tentative step taken to the sea. Young sailors are eager to challenge the Royal Navy to test the quality of the empire and then overturn the flagship team of the vertical and horizontal seven meters.
Otaku single-handedly contributed to the brilliant victory. Before the war, Scheer and hippel’s first young naval officer’s words kept expanding. Before the war, they formulated a conservative strategy of passive avoidance of war. Young people were shocked by the shaky and terrible blockade war. bernhard von Auden and his East Asian fleet were defeated in the Falkland Islands. In 191, they were exhausted and sailors rioted, and Wang Haidi, who loved this fleet, couldn’t sleep at night. These nightmares of the German Empire have finally come to light.
Wang Haidi is convinced that he has got what he wants, and no one can take it away from him in the future, whether it’s an old rival, Erpitz, who is used to showing off his breath but ambitious, or a wimp, Ingenohl!
Just as the otaku was triumphant, General Friedrich von Ingenohl got up, accompanied by George von Muller’s little man laughing wildly. The higher the position, the softer the bones. The commander of the Ocean Fleet read out the No.1 Navy Order, which was drafted by the Minister of the Navy Cabinet.
"The timing of a large-scale naval decisive battle is not mature. The Imperial Navy should stick to the estuaries of the North Sea before the army wins a decisive victory or the Royal Navy suffers heavy losses. In addition to the investigation fleet, the main fleets of the ocean fleet are not allowed to privately dispatch violators to engage in military law!"
The army won a decisive victory? Will John Niu, who didn’t start as a navy, be forced to surrender, or will the General Staff expect the army to swim across the English Channel?
The Royal Navy suffered heavy losses? Without the navy’s active attack, do you expect the British to use their super-fear of ships to verify the size and power of the German minefield?
After a brilliant victory, the victorious party sticks to the port and can’t take the initiative to attack. Isn’t this the trend of a big country in later generations?
Wang Haidi’s boiling dog blood instantly solidified his proud young heart, and he felt that he was seeing stars inexplicably.
The emergency meeting of the navy was depressed and dreary, and ended hastily. The despondent youths and the dominant conservatives were hostile to each other and dispersed like a flood. In a short time, the meeting room was deserted, with Wang Haidi and General Ingenohl Ingenohl leisurely holding coffee and sitting in the old chair in the front row of the meeting room. Wang Haidi’s face was like Kiel’s weather in June.
After General Ingenohl read the No.1 Navy Order, to everyone’s surprise, Wang Haidi didn’t jump out to criticize and refute at the first time, but sat in an oblique armchair and squinted and said nothing. Wang Haidi’s silence not only made hippel and Scheer slightly rude, but even the ministers who were preparing to exploit the topic were caught off guard.
For a long time, the old chair in the conference room finally creaked. Wang Haidi sighed for a long time, and her eyes gradually became firm. A few steps walked towards the conference room.
"Selim, can you tell me why you chose silence?" Ingenohl has put aside his teacup and shouted, "Silence is not Heidi Selim’s character!" "
"General, what do you want to hear? Let me jump around like a clown and perform lonely monologues or drunkards talking and then be humiliated and suppressed by you? " Wang Haidi’s roar almost overturned the dome of the swinging conference room. "Well, as you wish, my fate has been tied together by the German Ocean Fleet. Believe it or not, I have to say something!"
"Count Spee’s East Asian Fleet will contain Britain, France, the Far East and the American Fleet, Lieutenant General Soroqin, and the British-French Mediterranean Fleet will be dragged to the Aegean Sea, unable to defend the British-Turkish fleet. There are three big fleets left. The Harriet Fleet has been in the battle of Hewan, and the strait fleet has almost been destroyed. Marshal Hill left his post, and the deep-seated evolution of the big fleet created by him will continue. The remaining months in 1914 will be the best opportunity for the ocean fleet to challenge the big fleet, and it is the only opportunity!"
The otaku babbled forcefully and Ingenohl smiled. The smile was not sarcastic. "Major General, will you save the German navy?"
Wang Haidi is almost desperate to know the admiralty conservatively. Those senior admiralty officials who stay in the office all the year round are lifeless and lifeless. Do they understand Mahan’s "On the Sea" and the sea battle in the era of big ships and huge guns? They can’t foresee how serious the economic blockade will destroy a country’s war potential. They decided to adopt a general plan for age of steam Ocean Fleet based on those cold intelligence data and the deduction of shadow chess with sails.
"Maybe hohenzollern can save all this!" Wang Haidi took a look at the cold way of Friedrich von Ingenohl when the navy started ten years ago.
In 19 years, the otaku was able to get rid of his former retirement fate only by exile overseas. Somehow, it seems that the Kaiser cared for him. In 1914, the otaku was able to escape from Istanbul purgatory. It seems that when Lei Deer was at his wit’s end, Haidi felt that persuading Kaiser William to change his mind would be his only and only chance!
"No, Selim, you are wrong!" General Ingenohl, known as "the emperor should be a worm", narrowed his tone to a line and his eyes flashed from time to time. "The world is a dirty and affectionate political package. What you saw with your own eyes and heard with your own ears is not necessarily the truth. It’s like agreeing that the ocean fleet left Jed Bay and it’s your old enemy. It’s like that old guy resigned from the emperor two days ago. It’s like …
Ingenohl stopped abruptly, but she seemed to have some unfinished business, but she was stubborn and didn’t want to say a word more.
