Let’s count how many big events happened on this day.

On the afternoon of June 21, 1917, an American battleship detachment consisting of two New York-class battleships and two Dahua-class battleships crossed the Puntland Strait in Orkney Islands, Scotland, and entered the North Sea.
At the moment, the British Grand Fleet and the German Ocean Fleet, which firmly occupy the top two fleets in the world, are about to fight off the coast of the Orkney Islands and enter the battlefield. However, the Americans have obtained some vague, fragmented and contradictory information from the national spies and naval attache.
Americans can’t figure out the situation in the North Sea. Both the German Navy and the British Navy have rushed to the vast North Sea to compete. In contrast, Major General Hugh Rodman, the highest-ranking naval officer in the United States at this stage, lingered in the flagship commander tower of the fleet for a long time until noon before making a final decision to sell him. After decades, everyone in the United States shouted and beat him.
At 11: 45, the battleship Dahua once again broke the line and silently sent the agreed "Eagle Flag" code to their admiralty.
Eagle Flag means "War". After receiving the news of the pro-British-French naval assistant secretary Roosevelt proudly and quickly came to the White House a few minutes later, the US Congress held a hearing at an unusually rare lunch.
At 12 o’clock, the British special envoy of the US Congress and Assistant Secretary of the US Navy Roosevelt successively issued a report that "Germany and its allies are threatening and harming the United States", and then the US Senate and House of Representatives passed a declaration of war in a vote.
At 12: 03, it rained cats and dogs outside Capitol Hill in Washington. US President Wilson took over the resignation of William Jennings Bryan, the famous pacifist of the United States, and picked up the declaration of war in one hand. The reading of the war before Congress was still recorded by reporters’ spotlight, which would shock the world.
Wilson’s reading of the war marked that the last big country was also involved in the quagmire of the war. In 1914, Europeans lit a bonfire, and Africa, Asia and Oceania finally spread to America after three years of burning. Although zhèng fǔ incarnation of the United States received several pairs of shoes from the people, the capitalist power was unparalleled.
Twenty years after the European war officially advanced into a world war, a new war broke out in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, involving dozens of countries, and this war was renamed World War I again.
Wilson said this day
The world must be safe … profit is more precious than peace, and we will fight for what we cherish most.’
But the fact is that when Americans gave up their cherished peaceful choice with great "perseverance" and let é n zh ǔ and é yó u shine on the land of Europe, the first army, including Fenston troops in Kansas, had already boarded the port of Davenport, England, and the first naval’ escort fleet’ had already crossed the vast North Atlantic and crossed the Puntland Strait into the North Sea.
Also on June 21, another drastic change took place in the Paris Basin of France.
This summer, the German state was in turmoil. As usual, the emperor of the navy was at odds with each other, and then the workers rose. They successively launched Kiel Uprising and Schleswig Uprising, and the conservative forces fought back. At this time, the German emperor abdicated in diplomatic difficulties and tried to take over Lizhen. Finally, the royalists, the navy, the army, Croatia, the bourgeoisie and the workers’ party were entangled with each other.
Chaos weakened the German army’s western front. J Ρ ng fought against the Germans slightly, so he hoped to recover the land. General Xia Fei, commander-in-chief of the French army, ignored the fact that the British and French allied forces on the western front forced to launch a containment campaign at the end of April and the beginning of May to prevent Russia from withdrawing from the war, and insisted on launching a new campaign, vowing to completely recapture Paris and drive Germany out of France in one breath. The war would burn Germany.
Marshal Wavell, the British and French allied forces, led a series of offensives, but they were good at defensive warfare. The Germans were confident that the allied forces lost 200,000 people again. In mid-June, the British army began to refuse to obey the orders of the French. On June 17, the Rifa team began to mutiny and mutiny on a large scale. At first, several regiments refused to obey orders, but after General Xiafei took coercive measures, the confrontation between officers and soldiers intensified and finally spread to the whole French army.
On June 21, 21, the mutinous rebels of the Paris front-line forces attacked the front-line command, and the commander of the Kang front-line sent a representative to the United German army to unilaterally declare the Germans into a state of armistice before Wei zhèng fǔ incarnation was granted.
On this day, the British Empire was also saddened.
When the army forces of the British Isles were hoarded, Dublin Irish troops continued to attack and eventually fell, and the Irish riots finally got out of control.
The gluttons of the British Defence Committee clamored to hang them, but Lord kitchener, the Secretary of the Army, couldn’t find a better way to curb the Irish riots. Prime Minister Bonalau hoped that Belfo could handle the Irish ministers’ love again. "Chapter 11 of the Sea Soul of a Great Power Changes the Moment of History (4)" The Irish riots, but the navy also needed an iron hand like Belfo. The Secretary of the Army, kitchener, could pin his hopes for defending Ireland on the United States Army, which had just left new york Harbor and the North Atlantic was still vast and bumpy.
It was also on June 21rì that the Russian war broke out for more than three years.
After the April Revolution broke out, two political opposites appeared in St. Petersburg, the political center of Russia.
It is a pity that Russia has not formed a relatively stable and core political body of the State Duma, similar to the two-party system in the United States, despite the efforts of the temporary zhèng fǔ incarnation and the Soviet Union represented by workers, peasants and soldiers.
In the Russian-scale constitutional conference election held on June 19rì, a total of 270,000 Russians voted, and the Bolshevik Party won 60,000 votes, and the social í n ZH incarnation party won nearly 10,000 votes. In constitutional conference, out of a total of 77 seats, the social í n ZH incarnation party won 37 seats and won the majority, while the Bolshevik Party actually controlled St. Petersburg with 175 seats, and the Bolsheviks suffered a fiasco.
The actual election is unfair to the Workers’ Party, because czar ZHENG F incarnation of Bolsheviks has long slandered and reactionary declared that most Russian civilians regard the Workers’ Party as an organization that represents the advanced direction of mankind. St. Petersburg people don’t like the Workers’ Party, and the Russian Workers’ Party has not extended its strength to the countryside. As far as the outside world is concerned, farmers are more likely to be tempted by landlords and rich peasants who tend to be temporary and vote for the bourgeoisie ZHENG F incarnation.
So on the third day after the election, the workers’ uprising called "June Revolution" or "Second Revolution" broke out.
At this time, the troops loyal to the temporary ZHENG F incarnation were all at the front line, and the troops near St. Petersburg were completely controlled and mastered by the Workers’ Party. When st.petersburg overhauled the cruiser Avril and randomly sent several shells to the urban area, a bloodless revolution began, and the workers’ armed forces attacked the temporary ZHENG F incarnation along Neva Street, which surrendered after only a few shots.
At noon, Lenin people swarmed to the door of the Winter Palace and proudly announced that "the Russian people have made a wise choice again", but they didn’t know that his rash move had started a long war in Russia.
In this period, the Russian economy fell into total collapse. Vladivostok Port in the Far East was swallowed by the international trust Sakhalin Island, and even the interests of Mongolia and Zhongdong Road were taken back by the China people. What is even more frightening is that the Germans were neither defeated nor defeated by the Bolsheviks’ Red Se Thought plus Armed Subversion’. A German shared the same fate and shared the same breath. The Russian side of a huge military empire quietly took shape!
Nearly a hundred years after the end of the First World War, we can look back at the historical high ground and comment on those people who have profoundly influenced the historical process, which changes the history of the moment, but for the great men who were at the front line of the battle or were deeply mired in politics at that time, they can also follow the historical trend or make choices actively or passively.
Just as it was decided in this series of accidents in 1917, General Lampard, commander-in-chief of the British fast fleet in the naval battle of the Orkney Islands, did not choose to protect himself, but took on the historical mission entrusted to him by the British Empire and resolutely led ten battle cruiser ships to speed north. This naval battle embellished the last touch of tragic splendor.
Just as David Betty misplaced the British’ sea cavalry’ repeatedly in this naval battle, he was never a believer in the idea of protecting the ship and avoiding the war. He was the national luck of the Ri not falling empire in the next hundred years. This pressure was too heavy, and other departments could not give him courage like erich Lei Deer, one-armed general Wolfgang and fleet staff officer Lewentzo, so that Betty, who was bound to breathe, seemed worried when making decisions.
At 12: 32, the patrol of the indomitable reported that after the turn was completed, the command tower of the British flagship Revenge was filled with an unwarranted and unspeakable emotion.
"Entertainment Show" for this kind of mood Betty wrote in his personal memoir "Two Hours and an Era"
Our battle line has finally taken shape, and the chief of staff woke up and said that our formation is too scattered, which is extremely unfavorable for naval battles, but I still heard the relaxed meaning from the words of the chief of staff
This kind of relaxation may be the common mood of the big fleet. Please don’t blame us for going out angrily but forgetting our ambition in the sea battle. No one can feel the sense of discouragement when we encounter the main ship of the Ocean Fleet Department far away from Firth Bay. No one can feel the weakness of the big fleet when the battleship and battle cruiser German are looking dignified, and even less can we feel that our dim flagship command tower can’t see the tragic back end of the front line. We can constantly send in reports of battle damage and death to scrutinize the state of this fleet.’
The most difficult time seems to be over. Even though the Royal Navy’s German Herringbone lost a battleship rented from Argentina and two old-fashioned battle cruiser’s First Battleship and Fourth Patrol Fleet, they have already ushered in a breathing space.
Next, it should be a long-distance bombing of the ship in the naval battle of Ritland. Betty judged from the experience of the naval battle of Shazhou in Dogel and the naval battle of Ritland that the big fleet could hold on until the moment when General Lampard came to reinforce it.
No sooner had this unrealistic idea taken shape than the bad news came.
Once the Germans chased and intercepted the battleship Canada, which escaped from the birth day, and made the ocean fleet novel. It was almost more than 14,000 meters away from the Devingel-class patrol No.3 ship Auden, and the former commander tower was exploded with one shot! to be continued
The second gun chapter 11 change history instantaneous (5)
"("The King of the North Atlantic "in the fifth quarter fell like a meteor)
At 12: 32, the British indomitable battle cruiser merged into the battle line of the big fleet. David Betty and Heidi Selim unanimously reached the order of "suspending shelling and adjusting fleet formation"
The poor performance of the British Second Battleship made the first unit, the second unit, the second unit, the formation of the first Battleship out of line. The hull of the first Battleship, the Canadian Battleship and the Bellerophon, was seriously damaged, and it was difficult to maintain a high speed. In addition, the large fleet kept its course and could not let them join together as soon as possible. The large fleet had to reduce its speed and contract, and the battlelines were out of line. The damaged battleships were given a breathing space to ensure the fighting distance, and the course was slightly adjusted before the battle.
The long-term fire in Germany not only exhausted the officers and men of the gun department of each capital ship, but also seriously reduced the shelling efficiency and efficiency of the ocean fleet. In addition, the ocean fleet also needs to adjust its course and speed at this moment to let the battle line team lead the British, and let the German Iron Cross flag try to oppress the British fleet students located on the eastern coast of Scotland on the German battle line.
In memory of General bernhard von Auden, the captain of the large armored ship Shane Horst, who was killed in the naval battle of the Falkland Islands, the Devlinger-class patrol No.3 Auden was specially named, and his 26 main ships began the final round of shelling.
Short fire jǐng newspaper resounded through the German battle line, the Oden patrolled the low bow building with a backpack arrangement, and the gas near the muzzle of Bruno turret was sharply collected. ""The muzzle of the dark hole with a deafening gun burst with dazzling light and orange Se fire fog.
This side of the North Sea Ocean Fleet is quiet and tired. For the time being, German naval officers and men let go, take off their caps and wipe the sweat on their foreheads, or lean on the gun emplacement or shovel, or close their eyes and gasp for breath to accumulate strength for fighting again.
There will be peace on the other side of the North Sea fleet, but they have to withstand the last round of German shelling.
German large-caliber artillery shells rained down on the Wang Yang on both sides of the battle line of the big fleet, creating clouds of water columns as high as tens of feet
When the battle damage report was delayed, the big fleet command relaxed its nerves. When the rear end of the British battle line was inconspicuous, thick black smoke suddenly rose.
It was the amazing swan dance off the Tyne River that just won the naval battles of Ritland and Portsmouth, and the mighty battleship Canada failed to keep this honor off the coast of Orkney Islands at 12: 34 on June 21, 1917. This awesome ship boasted by Armstrong Shipyard designers made the opening of the ocean fleet novel.
The battleship Canada was shot almost 14,000 meters away from the Devlinger-class patrol ship No.3, which was supposed to be the strongest and safest commander tower of a feared ship!
In 1914-1917, it should be the most feared ship in moderns. There were night battles and melee battles like the Shazhou naval battle in Dogel, a decisive battle of large ships and giant guns like the Ri Tran naval battle, a crushing naval battle like the Portsmouth naval battle and the Cape Sochi naval battle, and a melee like the ustica naval battle. There was also a Ri Tran-style word-crossing tactic like the ustica naval battle.
However, even though these three years have created several classic naval battles and achieved several classic naval tactics, naval warfare in this period is still a "game involving statistics and probability"
This sentence is the prediction of the naval battle of fearing ships in Heidi Selim’s "On the Asymmetric Warfare in the Battleship Age". This sentence can be understood as who can fire more artillery shells in a shorter time to form a denser cross-Se area, and can also be understood as pursuing a certain firepower density to generate the ability to counter later.
The British are loyal supporters of the first theory. Almost every Royal Navy capital ship is designed with the idea of "maximizing firepower intensity and firepower density". Cutting corners on armor weight will save tonnage to strengthen artillery.
However, the British people who pursue the maximization of output obviously forget that the British Empire is no longer the leading industrial power in the new century, and the financial and military laws support them. In the brutal naval arms race, the numerical superiority completely suppressed the Germans, and the Royal Navy never played their limited numerical superiority in actual naval battles.
Since the Royal Navy suppressed Germany in both the arms race and the actual naval battle, the British can’t expect the Germans not to fight back.
At 12: 34, the 35 mm armor-piercing projectile crossed the 14,000-meter sea and was just 21 meters short. The hull was arranged with five 14-inch main guns, two control towers and main masts, and two chimneys. The compact hull was searched for "Chapter 11 of the Soul of the Great Country: Changing History (V)" and crashed into the small iron box-shaped commander tower.
The British gave full play to the firepower of the battleship Canada, so the sacrifice must be the protective force. The officers and men of the Canadian paid attention to the German armor-piercing bullet, which was hardened by the cap and rushed straight towards their commander tower. After shaking the mountain, the 35 mm armor-piercing bullet nearly fell vertically and cut through the side protective armor of the commander tower of Canada less than 11 inches or about 2 mm.
A large hole with a diameter of more than one meter is cut in the armor wall of the commander tower of the iron armor piercing department. The armor piercing projectile itself breaks and hardens the fragments of the cap and flies in the air of iron fragments splashed from Harvey hardened armor.
Before the naval officers and men of the battleship Canada, including the commander tower worker, could react, the armor-piercing projectile exploded and the commander tower was closed.
Fully loaded with 1 kg of N fierce explosives, the narrow explosion of the warhead released the terrible force. The commander’s tower steering wheel, sand table soldiers and documents were overturned by air billow for the first time and then disappeared in the hot and high temperature.
After the explosion, the shrapnel burned red, and the tower continued to fly, collide and bounce, giving off worrying friction until it lost its kinetic energy and fell, mixed with black Se blood fog and blackened the floor by smoke.
Part of air billow and shrapnel poured out from the observation porthole of the Commander Tower, and the trestles on both sides of the Commander Tower of the Canadian battleship and the bow deck in front of it suddenly became messy.
In the previous battle, two boilers on the port side and a coal bunker were shot three times in a row, and the generator set stopped running at a speed of about ten knots. The officers and men of the "Sea Soul of the Great Power" Canada did not give up the meaning of this capital ship. The firemen were red-eyed and pulled all fire-fighting equipment at the commander tower, and tried to get close to the commander tower by crossing the trestle full of sharp iron blocks, meat scraps filled with disgusting smell and human body burning smell.
The sailors tried to save the Canada, but the Germans blew up the command tower of the Canada. Where is there anything worth saving?
Captain killed, vice captain killed, seaman killed, gunner killed …
Battleship Canada, the headquarters of the big fleet, has drawn up a long list of the dead. Although a capital ship usually has a command tower at the forecastle and a command tower at the rear mainmast, the crew can continue to fight on the back of the command tower after losing the command tower. The question is who will command it. It is two different things to control a capital ship and command a capital ship!
