The navy’s original call for closed-door consultations was an out-and-out political show because of the insistence of the emperor and the secretary of the navy

Emperor William and the Minister of the New Navy, General Hei Linger, Prime Minister Bateman Hollwich, Foreign Minister Kiderlen, the Speaker of the National Assembly and the leaders of all political parties sat in the left-hand gallery of the conference room, while the reporters of major German newspapers sat in the right-hand gallery.
The senior commander, the general staff of the Navy, the commander of the Baltic Fleet, King Henry, and the commander of the blockade fleet of the Gulf of Finland, who rushed from Port William, sat in their seats and did not communicate with others. They looked at the media and newspapers with hatred and exposed the contradiction of the Admiralty. Minister of the Navy.
"Gentlemen, I think this resignation statement of Selim is perfunctory or a naked threat to the Admiralty and public opinion!"
Capelle, the secretary of the navy, threw a thick stack of mainstream newspapers in front of the rostrum, waving his arms and expressing his opinions. The reporter of Berlin Daily fiddled with the old camera to freeze capelle’s high-spirited expression.
"In his resignation letter, Selim only mentioned the words’ unforgivable mistake just ended in the naval battle’, which is a hypocritical mistake and a violation of naval system and discipline! Resignation can’t hide that Selim personally destroyed the maintenance system and the law and discipline. I asked the naval independent prosecutor to intervene in the investigation! "
Capelle 1 was busy putting Heidi Selim’s wrong outline and trying to erase the sympathy reporter’s sketch record in Selim’s resignation letter, wrote The New York Times Anthony, the only foreign newspaper in capelle speech field.
"capelle is perhaps the most unpopular secretary of the navy in the world. His attack on the navy and his brilliant honor makes people feel that he has fallen into a state of madness."
Romantic American journalist Anthony has a limited affection for West Lyme. Neutral journalist Xuan Heidi West Lyme and David Betty are like medieval white knights leading their helpers to fight a fair gentleman in Beihai. Anthony seems that this duel is blameless!
Capelle’s aggressive suppression made Anthony feel tired of sympathizing with Selim, so he wrote a short comment casually, and after the meeting, the First Times sent it back to Anthony in the United States. He never thought that his short comment meeting would be crazy and quoted by the world media on March 12.
"General Selim, what do you want to say?" Capelle asked triumphantly.
Heidi Selim got up from the dark corner of the conference room and could see that he was dragged down by the war and his body was not fully recovered. He gradually became the title of "King of the North Atlantic" and Selim’s face was pale.
West Lyme held the armrest of the chair and just got up. The simple movement seemed to be overwhelming. There were soldiers who were sad, generals who were angry, winners who were humiliated and losers who insisted. Although West Lyme was a poor man who was forced to retreat to the corner at the moment, everyone had a strange idea in his heart-this man should be on the capelle stage in front of him. He was born to be in that position. The ocean fleet should be the West Lyme fleet!
"First of all, I want to apologize …"
Wang Haidi didn’t wear the vice admiral system, but a set of the most common epaulettes. He wore the sailor’s iron cross 1st class medal, which symbolizes the highest glory of the Germans. He shook his chest and everyone was not relieved from that strange feeling. Selim had already bent down and bowed to someone in the place.
It was a sincere bow, an apology, not a mistake!
"Please forgive my selfishness for driving me to hide a somewhat heavy story for the first time after the war." West Lyme slowly straightened up and was stubborn and dark. The corner looked a little bleak, and the silence spread and suffocated. After a few breaths, General West Lyme spoke again.
"Before the decisive battle in the North Sea, I expected that it was possible for the British to display the North Sea Cruise Station after two Queen Elizabeth battleships were re-commissioned. I sent a trawler team disguised by naval officers and soldiers to Jutland coastline and Scarborough Gerakl Strait respectively to ensure concealment. I made them fly the neutral country, that is, the Norwegian flag."
Every word that came out of general Selim’s mouth was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked everyone out of their wits.
There was a commotion in the conference room, and the reporter was so frightened by this terrible thing that he was in a hurry. The truth was that the commander and the staff were whispering. Although the political figures maintained a faint reserve, everyone could see clearly that they were confused.
"I violated the rules of engagement and offended the dignity of the kingdom of Norway, which was my first mistake."
"Jesus, Selim, you’re crazy!" Emperor William has realized what panic is. He almost broke his hand, white gloves and red eyes stared at the young man who made him sleepless.
"When the British fast fleet passed the Jutland coastline, one of our camouflage reconnaissance fleets lost. After the United War, we learned news from the prisoners of the fast fleet that was more cruel than death, but I always refused to believe that I stubbornly asked the staff officer to put them on the list of missing persons instead of the list of dead! I think I desecrated those brave soldiers who were loyal to the navy and the empire, and I was also suspected of concealing and tampering with naval battle data, which was my second mistake. "
"More cruel than death. What did the British do to our boy?"
As soon as Wang Haidi’s painful voice fell into the meeting room, he became angry and almost broke the conference table.
The pen slipped from the hand of American journalist Anthony, and the talented people in the white age were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The crime of the British killing Boers and Irish people is not far away. This time, their hands and feet are not clean. They took the lead in the French war to make anti-human gas bombs and slaughtered prisoners in the naval battle. Damn it, they are not those Japanese monkeys or African worthless slaves. They are actually white hands again and again!
"West lime don’t confuse people! We will discuss the issue of your unauthorized mobilization of the fleet! "
Capelle, who became angry from embarrassment, finally failed to bear it. He almost jumped onto the podium and beat the lying guy to death.
"Maybe mobilizing the fleet without authorization is your so-called third mistake!"
Capelle tried to save the situation and turned everyone’s attention to the most deadly unauthorized transfer problem in West Lyme.
"Gentlemen, I have something to say!"
West Lyme mused that there was no mouth, but capelle’s confidence had collapsed because the owner of the old line was impressively Hugo von Boer, the chief of staff of the navy!
The second gun The first chapter Scarborough Gerakl gold (9)
"On March 2nd, due to a premonition that the British might take a surprise attack in the North Sea and the ocean fleet lacked rapid reconnaissance power, the Navy General Staff secretly worked out a reinforcement plan to transfer the first reconnaissance fleet in the Baltic Sea to Port William." The old conference room was as quiet as death, leaving the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Bohr, throwing the floor with "There is no doubt that this was a successful tactic to deceive General Selim. The reinforcement action on March 2nd did not violate naval discipline!"
"There is no violation of naval discipline!" Capelle was dizzy-something exploded in his head, and his body temperature passed away. At present, it was dark. Several breaths, and the Secretary of the Navy, capelle, had been beaten by Bohr. He was flustered and dying.
"Impossible! If it wasn’t for Selim’s guilty conscience, why did he turn a deaf ear to all kinds of public criticism? "
"General capelle, have you forgotten the naval rules?" Selim is not surprised that Bohr will recite the words for him with a sharp meaning. "On how the outside world misunderstood and accused me, I can’t protect myself and reveal naval secrets until the Naval Committee discussed and formed a unified opinion!" When I said the first two mistakes, it already constituted the third mistake! "
This is the third mistake that Selim made?
This is the third mistake that Selim made!
In addition to capelle breath air conditioning sound in the meeting room a little quiet, everyone was capelle clamor, west lime bowed their heads and admit their mistakes, Bohr will turn around and get confused.
Most people in the conference room have a paste in their heads, but capelle has a clear moment. He has already thought about everything.
Selim gave in step by step, confusing the field, and Bohr connected a wonderful drama in series. The third and most important mistake buried a foreshadowing, a shocking reversal, and made the most pungent irony on capelle.
Yes, it’s a big reversal. capelle will never believe that Selim and the First Reconnaissance Fleet have obtained the memo from the General Staff when they took action. Everything is a trap. The trap has been designed long ago, just waiting for him. capelle jumped in!
It’s time to think white! After the naval battle, capelle launched a public opinion to declare war. First, it held West Lyme high, and then through the consistently anti-naval Berlin Chronicle, it revealed the problem of West Lyme’s unauthorized mobilization, and finally knocked down the naval hero in one fell swoop.
Capelle acted strictly according to the plan, but he should have thought that he could survive the naval political storm and still be able to overturn the throne of George von Muller’s naval cabinet minister with a backhand blow under the pressure of Emperor William.
In this war of public opinion, the people who worship and believe in Germany remain silent. However, this silence is not a sit-and-see change, but a compromise between reason and law. This silence is as strong as it is repressed.
What’s even more frightening is that the navy is biting Heidi Selim, a middle-ranking naval officer and an ordinary sailor. Although capelle released the most important news and rumors through some anti-naval conservative newspapers, this flash of inspiration can’t save him. capelle’s hatred for Selim has long been known, and it has been fueled by his incident. At the end of the naval meeting, capelle was severely criticized, and he had already exposed himself. Waiting for him would be the anger of tens of thousands of naval officers fighting in the North Sea.
"It’s a trap. Damn it, the bastard from Kiel and the old guy from the Erpitz era played a good game together. They cheated everyone and the emperor should send them all to the gallows!"
Capelle wanted to point at General Bohr’s nose and yell abuse, but he repeated it a thousand times in his mind and didn’t put it into practice after all. He realized that the era when the ocean fleet belonged to the Hohensolen family was over.
If the capelle navy can’t master too much, but the position of secretary of the navy is less, it can give him the right to participate in decision-making and retain relative dignity. This time, capelle not only lost the support of naval officers and soldiers, but also carved himself into a naval shame column
Gorgeous dividing line
"Failed again?" The veins stood out in the emperor’s left arm suddenly and violently, his eyes were bloodshot and his head hung down, and he murmured.
The secretary of the navy cabinet and the secretary of the navy have always been the emperor William’s right-hand man who took control of the navy. After the secretary of the navy cabinet was brought down by West Lyme, the secretary of the navy also fell down. The fact that the navy has been "out of control" William was very unwilling that the navy would take the West Lyme Ocean Fleet instead of his William von hohenzollern Ocean Fleet one second after leaving the meeting room.
The emperor is speechless. He really wants to retaliate against Bohr, the chief of staff who defiled the majesty of the Hohensolen family. But he knows that Bohr, the old guy, must be indifferent. Everyone knows that Bohr has been suffering from mental illness for a long time. He is not afraid of thunder.
"Positions should come forward to clean up the situation …"
It’s not time to think about cleaning up Bohr and Selim, but it’s important to deal with the rebound of the imperial people and the admiralty. In this storm of public opinion, the means of Charlottenburg Palace are not high, and William is almost shirtless. Now he must give the navy an account to the people
"Bateman Hollwich, you made me bow to that poor Kiel fisherman descendant?"
William, the emperor of West Lyme, refused to get up and ease the situation. He was used to cleaning up the mess. Bateman Hollwich, the first German repairman, had to shake his head with a wry smile and look at William’s bloodthirsty eyes, Lang announced.
"Since there was no unauthorized transfer in the West Lyme War, call a press conference to explain everything clearly. The problem of West Lyme violating the rules of engagement and concealing and tampering with post-war statistics is still handled by the naval military court."
Loyal Bateman gave William the best step, and the emperor finally loosened the white gloves that were ravaged in every way, sullenly and resentfully.
