In November, 1914, Mao Qi, chief of the army’s general staff, was replaced by the emperor, and Falcken Haine will be officially appointed as the chief of the general staff of the field army. Since Falcken Haine was the minister of war, it was the first time that the war department and the general staff merged with the commander-in-chief of the army from scharnhorst. Since May, 13, 2Ri William I issued a cabinet order to grant the chief of the army to face the emperor, the chief of staff, old Mao Qi, won the dream of the army officer corps from Massenbach, and Falcken Haine was the chief of staff and commander-in-chief of the army.
The soldier trotted out of the booth and took the driver’s pass. jǐng asked, glancing at the carriage.
The window of the military vehicle was shaken, and Wang Haidi poked his head out lightly and said, "Heidi Silem, Admiralty, we have an appointment with General Falcken Haine!"

Scarpa Bay, the northernmost part of Scotland, has never been so lively as it is today. Bottles fall to the ground, broken rifles are like fried beans, and sailors shout at random after being drunk. From the main island of Orkney, the officers and men of the 19 capital ships of the big fleet are also moving.
Lampard, a lonely villa standing on the cliff in the north of orkney Island, is packing his luggage. Soldiers’ luggage is simple, especially boundless love soldiers’ clothes and personal belongings are put into suitcases one by one. Lampard is holding the unfinished Scarborough Gerakl Gold in his hand, and suddenly there is no reason to give birth to a sentimental feeling in his heart.
"Is this a dream or a reality?" Lampard touched the stubble in front of the mirror and wondered to be continued.
The second gun Chapter 12 Collapse (5)
Light scattered in the dark passage of Scarpa Bay Naval Court
The door of the conference room is closed, and the jury and the judge are having a heated discussion. On the other side, there is a detention room guarded by gendarmes. Betty is sitting on the sofa with a sad expression, but she is absolutely happy.
"It’s time to think about the future." Betty hurriedly threw away her cigarette end and blew a few words at her scalded finger for a long time. Then a few words popped out of her mouth. "Immigration to the United States to become a professional manager at Eiffel Shujia Department Store? Or return to Ireland to inherit his father’s career and become a wandering captain? "
The corridor came whispering for a second, and a little light shone near the dark room. The old man came in trembling with a pipe in his mouth and a suit and tie.
"Mr. Belfo …"
Betty was embarrassed, and there was a little trepidation in her tone. It was because of Winston Churchill’s cautious but self-respecting respect. Betty knew that King Arthur was not as talented as Marshal Hill, and that King Arthur had an advantage over a previous naval leader. This fact was precisely the lack of the Royal Navy. "
"General Betty, I have been a member of parliament, chairman of the local zhèng fǔ incarnation committee, Irish minister, Irish chief secretary, finance minister and foreign minister, and I have been a prime minister and leader of the Conservative House, but my 40-year-long resume is that there is no place where the navy has made diplomatic relations."
Admiralty has always been aggressive. King Arthur casually sat beside Betty with a pipe in his hand and waved his greeting. Betty sat on the sofa. Belfo was like an old man who always liked to remember the past. Betty talked about his first memories of the navy.
"I don’t know anything about the navy. My limited impression of the navy is that the Royal Navy is invincible, and there is a young man named David Betty in the navy who is promoted to major general at the fastest time. He may develop into a comparable figure to Nelson during his vacation!"
"Cough that young man hull golan bay naval battle; J and jīng heart planning Dogel sandbar ambush not only failed to eat the west lime fleet but let the Germans sink three capital ships; Ri Dylan’s naval performance was even worse. Losing five capital ships, not to mention dragging the weak fleet, led to the collapse of the British Empire. "
David Betty joked and laughed, and Zhang made up the story for the Secretary of the Navy.
Fortunately, however, that young man’s military career is over. He will fight hard on Wall Street, and he will go to the sea and master and commander. No one needs to worry about what kind of disaster this guy with high hopes will bring to Britain.
When Betty complained, J: ng’s energetic old guy didn’t interrupt. He was snickering with a cigarette butt until Betty was thirsty.
"General Betty, listen, the horse is about to be finally sentenced. Let me ask you a question while I have no ideological burden. This question is very important. Please answer me honestly. The old man has only one question."
Betty didn’t nod, but Betty regretted Dambert’s question.
"Captain Clemente Ley of collingwood in Portsmouth naval battle was frightened by the aggressive First Reconnaissance Fleet, and the old slick Jackson was vague about collingwood’s next move." Belfo paused to pick up his pipe and took a mouthful of Gherardini. "I’m curious that you are being imprisoned by the Navy Procuratorate and investigated. If you are not suitable for the Scarpa Bay base headquarters, what motivates you to make a choice when you reach the controversial command of collingwood, which is not under your command?" …,
"What is it? What is it! " Betty’s line of sight, Belfo’s wrinkled face, and a trembling hand tried to touch the cigarette case to remember the matchbox. "Is there anything else to ask about this question?"
"It’s time for Mr. Sentencing …"
When the court adjourned for ten minutes, it was just a snap of your fingers. The gendarmes pushed the door and came in, looking at the two people who were deadlocked hesitantly.
"Young man, I understand." Belfo finally picked up his face and smiled and stood up with a cane. "Congratulations!"

"Is this a dream or a reality?" Lampard touched the hard stubble in front of the mirror and wondered
Looking back seven hours ago, Lampard could still break out in a cold sweat when he was confronted by the naval military court in Scarpa Bay.
"Deputy Commander Lampard, you have the responsibility and righteousness to know the service status of the main ships of the fast fleet. Before the naval battle in Scarborough Gerakl Strait, did you know the operation status of three machines that were transferred to the tireless patrol class after attending the Wan Li in the Falkland Islands?"
"General Lampard, I understand that it is from you that you suggested that naval experts recognize that the naval battle in Ritland suffered a major defeat. Although this was Betty’s final decision, you should be responsible for it!"
"I have checked the fleet Rizhi and found that there were minor problems in the mainframes of the battleships Tired of War and Queen Elizabeth on the eve of the battle, which directly led to the unsatisfactory performance of the two fast battleships in the whole naval battle. General Lampard was in your hands when the fast fleet was in command. I think you were responsible for the sinking of the second world war patrol fleet and the Tired of War."
For more than an hour, Lampard was almost cornered by the prosecutor of the naval procuratorate. Lampard has a good writing style, but this does not mean that he is excellent in eloquence. However, even if he is excellent in eloquence, I am afraid he does not want the prosecutor to argue that because he shirked his responsibility, it will be blamed on Betty.
After the recess, the judge went back to the courtroom, and the clerk took the lead and shouted "Stand up!" "
Everyone got up and listened to the judge’s sentence with trepidation.
Old judges wear reading glasses, turn over thick splints, draw out papers signed by jury members, and smash hammers symbolizing credibility.
The sound of the falling hammer was not loud, but it frightened the fragile hearts of the trembling people. Lampard clasped the defendant’s stand with his hands tightly closed, and silently recited a meaningful prayer in the Bible’s gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
"Ask the emperor to forgive us for our transgressions, and we will forgive others for offending us."
"According to the first paragraph of Article 120 of the Naval Law, the third paragraph of Article 69 and the common law constitution J Ο ng of Article 64 of the Regulations on Punishment of Violation of Military Discipline in Lu Haijun, I declare that Jason Lampard was responsible for the Battle of the 2Ο 4Ο Skaparak Strait in March 1915, but he did not commit the crime of dereliction of duty because of his minor crimes."
"What?" Everyone in the military court opened their mouths and a word flashed in their minds, "Crazy! This is all crazy!"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
After Major General Lampard’s trial, Jellicoe tried David Betty, the former commander of the fast fleet, and finally reached the high court.
Osmond Brock, deputy commander of Scarpa Bay base who was kicked out of court, was celebrated by the officers and men of the big fleet, and many orkney residents were comforting Betty’s wife Ethel Shu. Even though it was David Betty who suggested that the big fleet should withdraw from Scarpa Bay and abandon the residents of orkney Island, the "two-faced, three-faced bastard from barnsley, South Yorkshire" preferred to talk quickly to David Betty,
