s: This chapter was supposed to be the second update yesterday because I fell asleep╮╭ In fact, the ability to "make dumplings" is not limited to the United Kingdom.
All industrial powers can do this.
Normally they don't make much, but that's just because it's not necessary.
It's not that they really only have this production capacity.
When things get really urgent, that's when the real dumplings begin.
Just like during World War II in the original time and space, if Japan sank one American warship, the United States could build five.
But no matter how good or numerous the warships are, they still need people to use them.
Compared with warships that can be quickly replenished, qualified naval officers and soldiers are the most important.
If any army loses too many backbones, it will be difficult to recover within a few years, and it may even never recover.
Especially for a highly professional technical branch like the Navy, it is even more difficult to replenish it.
This is not infantry.
They can go to the battlefield after being issued a rifle and trained for half a year.
Therefore, Wen Desi was more concerned about their personnel losses than the British warship losses.
"Mr.
Wen, in this Anglo-German naval battle, the total number of British officers and soldiers participating in the war was around 72,000, and the total number of German participating officers and soldiers was around 55,000.
Because the battle has just ended, we are not yet able to obtain accurate data on casualties on both sides.
We will follow the instructions obtained A preliminary estimate was made based on the intelligence, and the number of British casualties increased.
The number of people missing on board is about 56,000, including five major generals including Admiral Jericho, commander of the British Home Fleet, and Betty, commander of the battlecruiser detachment.
In addition, more than 13,000 British people have been killed.
The number of dead on the German side was about 3,600, and more than 6,400 were injured," Gu Xiaoyuan replied.
"In other words, the local fleet is completely destroyed.
The warships can be replenished quickly, but the 70,000 officers and soldiers cannot be replenished.
Hahahaha, I feel relieved now."
Wen Desi smiled proudly.
"If the British want to rebuild their home fleet, they will have to draw manpower from fleets around the world.
And in order to protect their hometown, these foreign fleets may have to go back.
In this way, it will be much more convenient for us."
Although the British dreadnoughts were all destroyed, their navy was not finished.
They also have a dreadnought ship "Australia", 37 pre-dreadnought ships, and hundreds of cruisers of various types.
These ships are distributed all over the world, such as the Australian Fleet, the Indian Fleet, the African Fleet, the Far East Fleet, etc.
If they transfer all these ships back to defend the homeland, they will also be a force that cannot be underestimated, and it will also make the Germans uncomfortable.
But in this way, the power of the major colonies was empty.
Of course, this is also one of President Wen's purposes.
President Wen really covets those fat colonies of Opium Cow.
Only after they withdraw their power from these places can it be easier for President Wen to control them.
Otherwise, he would be so enthusiastic about becoming the number one "self-made five marks" in the world.
He is not one of those "Hardmans" who have devoted their lives to morality.
Thinking of this, he asked: "How long will it take for the German Navy to regain its combat effectiveness?"
"Although the Germans won this time, their losses were not small.
Eight of their battleships and two battlecruisers were severely damaged.
More than 20 light ships were severely damaged or moderately damaged.
Almost all large ships were damaged.
According to our estimates, it will take at least two months for the German Navy to regain 70% of its combat effectiveness."
"Two months, that's almost enough."
Wen Desi nodded thoughtfully.

Thanks to the various new inventions of Xingke Group, the earth's media technology at this time has far exceeded the level of the same period in the original time and space.
With the increasing popularity of movies, television, and radio, people can "know the world's affairs without leaving home."
For the major media, the news of the annihilation of the British Home Fleet was nothing less than huge news, and such explosive news naturally had to be delivered as soon as possible.
This extremely heavy news quickly spread across the world on the radio waves, just like a bomb dropped in the water, causing an uproar around the world.
The whole world was shocked As for the specific reactions, of course some people are happy and some are sad.
For example, the reactions of both parties are completely opposite.
As the victors, the Germans were naturally almost crazy with joy.
They spontaneously organized various celebration activities, such as lantern parades, torch parades, fireworks shows, and of course the sausage and beer festivals that Germans loved most.
As losers, the British had a hard time.
Every one of them felt like mourning their heirs, and the entire British island was immersed in an inexplicable atmosphere of grief.
In particular, the families of the more than 50,000 soldiers who died in the battle did not stop.
They contacted each other everywhere, claiming to severely punish the traitors to the British and the country.
This is a huge headache for the British government.
The ensuing morale of the Allied Powers plummeted, while the morale of the Allied Powers skyrocketed.
This was determined by their stance, so I won't go into details one by one.
But the reaction of other countries that did not participate in the war, as well as the British colonies, is very interesting.
After being shocked, the major forces took various actions.
Various connections, exchanges, negotiations, etc. between and within the various forces were busy non-stop.
For a time, the number of radio waves on the earth increased sharply.
This has made China's surveillance personnel miserable.
Even if they have the most advanced third-generation computer assistance, they are still miserable by this sudden increase in telegrams.
For more than a month after the Battle of Jutland, the staff of the China Telecommunications Supervision and Management Center, which was administratively affiliated with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and professionally under the Ministry of State Security, had to go to and from get off work almost every day with dark circles under their eyes.
Of course, their hard work was not in vain, as they obtained some very important information during this period.
October 8, 1916, 2757 AD, Presidential Palace, Hanking.
Early this morning, Minister of National Security Wang Qi hurried to the Presidential Palace and personally delivered some important information.
"Is Italy going to join the war or join the Allies?"
Wen Desi looked at the information in his hand in surprise.
"Yes, Mr.
Wen."
Wang Qi nodded and replied: "This news has been confirmed by many parties and should be true."
"It's really incredible that these lovely Italians would actually join the Allies."
Wen Desi was very surprised.
It was clear that the Italian's reaction exceeded his expectations.
"So, Italy is Italy and Italy is Italy.
I really don't understand their thoughts.
The European war is a big pit.
It's a big pit that they are afraid of avoiding.
They are actually busy jumping into it.
Isn't this really stupid?
Isn’t it good for them to be a neutral country and do business safely and make a fortune?
They have to go through troubled waters.”
"Mr.
Wen, according to our analysis, the defeat of British Jutland may have made the Italians think that the Allies have lost.
If they join the Allies now, they can become the victors after the war and divide the cake of the Allies.
We also After receiving information that proved that Germany was also wooing Italy, William II promised that after the war, a piece of land in southern France could be allocated to Italy, and some British and French colonies in North Africa, as well as British Somaliland and French Somaliland, could be allocated to them."

"It's so funny.
The Italians are really stupid.
This time they are on the wrong team, hahahahaha."
Wen Desi couldn't help but laugh, looking very happy.
As we all know, Italy is famous for being a tough guy.
Although they were members of the Allied Powers from the beginning, in the history of the original time and space, they betrayed the Allied Powers, joined the Allied Powers, and finally became the victorious nation.
Then during World War II, they did it again and actually became the victorious nation.
Although this kind of behavior is very disgusting, I have to admit that people will take sides.
For Yi Daili, moral integrity is something that can be eaten.
As long as it is good for your face, you don’t want it.
Yes, Wen always disliked Yi Daili's behavior of always relying on being a wallflower to take advantage.
Although all countries that can be classified as great powers are full of moral integrity, well, of course, including China now, it is also common to betray teammates and cheat teammates.
For national interests, things like face are not too important.
But the other great powers still talk about the rules of the game to some extent, and at least they still need face.
If they are so shameless as Italy, they really can't find another one.
It was a rare time that Yi Daili finally stood on the wrong team with a flash of joy in his forehead, and Mr.
Wen felt extremely happy.
However, another piece of information left him speechless.
"The Ottomans are also preparing to join the Allies.
Hey, it seems that the inertia of history is still very strong."
Wen Desi sighed.
Wang Qi replied: "Yes, this is also a chain reaction caused by the defeat of the British navy.
The pro-British faction in Turkey has greatly reduced its power, while the pro-German faction has greatly increased.
They strongly demand to regain their homeland occupied by Russia, Greece and other countries. .
And Germany and Austria also made a promise that as long as they join the Allies, these places can be allocated to them."
"Humph, William II is really good at generosity to others."
Wen Desi sneered a few times.
Deputy Secretary-General Gu Xiaolan also said next to him: "Mr.
Wen, last night Comrade Kemal also informed us of the latest trends in the Ottoman cabinet and possible options.
He said that the Austrian Socialist Party is not strong yet, although they are in The middle and lower levels already have a certain influence, but they still have no say in the center of the cabinet.
They can exert very little influence on such major policies."
Wen Desi thought for a while and said: "Well, tell Kemal that they have done a good job.
In fact, the Ottoman government's action this time is also an opportunity for them.
Now they have to continue to increase their influence among the people and wait. opportunity to seize power."
Although the Ottomans and Russia have already been fighting for a long time, Türkiye has not officially joined the Allies so far.
The conflict between them and Russia is only a conflict between the two countries.
How should I put it?
The pro-British forces in the upper echelons of Türkiye are still very strong, and they are unwilling to conflict with Britain.
In fact, had it not been for Russia's strong opposition, Türkiye would have joined the Allies.
But now that Britain has just suffered a big loss, and the Ottomans are fighting with Russia, the Allied Powers, it is not surprising that they would make this choice
