Damn the Russians, it’s just so shameless and despicable!” Admiral Roger Keyes, commander of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets, gritted his teeth.
He simply hated the Russians to the bone.
The tactics of the Russians to use a large number of submarines to ambush them are simply too obscene, and this is not at all what the navy of a big country should do! Admiral Roger Case was even more aggrieved in his heart, and he originally thought that the first battle would be stable turned into this.
A total of 9 capital ships were sunk by Russian submarines, and four capital ships suffered heavy damage and lost their combat effectiveness.
So much so that now the Mediterranean Fleet can use only 12 capital ships.
When facing the 13 capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy, there was no longer any advantage.
“Your Excellency Commander, what should we do now, and still act according to the scheduled plan?” asked Lieutenant General Field.
Admiral Roger Case also had a bitter look on his face.
Although he still wanted to break the cauldron and fight to the death with the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy. However, he knew very well that with the current strength of the Mediterranean Fleet, it would be very difficult to win this battle. If you don’t get it right, it’s hard to die~ watch.
After thinking for a while, Admiral Roger Case finally made a decision.
“Report the situation here to the country and ask for reinforcements.” In our current situation, if we fight a decisive battle with the Black Sea Fleet of the Russians, our chances of victory are not great, it is too risky. If the Home Fleet can send some more fleets to reinforce us. Well, we can still have an advantage, we still have a great chance of winning!” said Admiral Roger Keyes.
“Your Excellency, Commander, then the country will know that we have been ambushed by a Russian submarine. At that time, Your Excellency the Prime Minister and Your Excellency the First Sea Lord will probably be very angry. Lieutenant General Field reminded.
The expression on Admiral Roger Keyes’ face kept changing. If he could, he naturally didn’t want such a big stain to exist. But he knew that there was no way around it!
“Even if the country will punish us, it will have to wait until we win this war.” Right now, defeating the Russians is the most important thing. Otherwise, the empire could not afford to lose. As long as we can seize the opportunity and defeat the Russians. Then, we still have the possibility of atonement for our sins. Admiral Roger Case explained.
In fact, by this time, Admiral Roger Case was still lucky.
If they can win the final victory, then they will most likely not be held accountable.
Lieutenant General Field nodded, he also understood this truth.
“However, the Home Fleet has already sent a number of warships to reinforce us before. Now, the Home Fleet also cooperates with the Atlantic Fleet of the Beacon Country to suppress the Northern Fleet and Baltic Fleet of the Russians. I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to send more warships to reinforce us. “Lieutenant General Field was a little worried.
Although the strength of the Imperial Navy is stronger than that of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, there are only two more capital ships.
Especially after the loss of so many capital ships this time, the strength of the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire has actually lagged far behind the Imperial Russian Navy.
In the case of the need to suppress the other fleets of the Tsarist Imperial Navy, they can already use very few warships.
“That’s not something we think about. In order to win this war, the country will naturally do its best!” said Admiral Roger Keyes.
How to do it specifically, all the problems will be pushed to the high-level of the Sun Never Set Empire itself.
If it really doesn’t work, at most they will bear the responsibility for this failure.
It’s a big deal to retire, and there will be no other consequences.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” replied Lieutenant General Field.
Immediately, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Imperial Navy reported to the country that their main fleet and sub-fleets were ambushed by the submarine forces of the Imperial Russian Navy and suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, the sun does not set on the mainland of the empire, and the time is only six o’clock in the afternoon.
First Sea Lord Earl Betty had already returned home from work. But the general on duty, having received the telegram, did not dare to slacken and rushed directly to Count Betty’s house and handed him the telegram sent back by the Mediterranean Fleet.

After Count Betty read the contents of the telegram, the whole person almost fainted directly. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
He never imagined that such a situation would occur.
Did that guy Roger Case get into the water? Did he accidentally fall into the trap of the Russians?
Originally, he also believed that this battle should be foolproof.
But now, the battle has just begun, and the Royal Navy has already planted a big heel.
How can it continue this time?
“Your Excellency, what should we do next?” asked the general.
“Prepare a car, go to the Prime Minister’s Office immediately, and report to His Excellency the Prime Minister!” Count Betty did not dare to slacken, and immediately ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Minister!” replied the General.
While waiting for this time, Count Betty also immediately called the Prime Minister’s Office, claiming that there were 100,000 urgent economic and military information that needed to be reported. At the same time, he also instructed the secretary to inform the other inner ministers.
When Count Betty arrived at the Prime Minister’s House, the other cabinet ministers arrived.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the Mediterranean Fleet has sent an urgent war report. The vile and impudent Russians used a large number of submarines and ambushed our fleet. At present, the Mediterranean Fleet has suffered heavy losses, nine capital ships have already been sunk, and four more have suffered heavy damage and lost their combat effectiveness. Now the Mediterranean Fleet needs our urgent reinforcements. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to beat the Black Sea Fleet of the Russians. Count Betty reported with a dark face.
In order to preserve the dignity of the Royal Navy, he also inevitably absolved himself of some responsibility, believing that the Mediterranean Fleet would fail miserably because the Russians were too despicable and shameless.
As for whether Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and other cabinet ministers will believe it, he doesn’t care.
In his opinion, the Mediterranean Fleet made such a big mistake this time, it was simply a shame for the entire Royal Navy!
It can be said that the Royal Navy has never been so embarrassed for so many years!
This time, it was simply a shame to lose the spoon at home.
