The birth of the royal family brought unimaginable opportunities to mountbatten, and this identity also brought him natural resistance. Every step of his promotion will lead to all kinds of speculation and discussion. But mountbatten has always been proud of his royal blood, and he has brought greater glory to the British royal family.
1965438+In September 2003, mountbatten entered the Royal Naval School in Osborne. In June 5438+the following year 10, his father from Germany was forced to resign from the British navy after the outbreak of World War I and the declaration of war between Britain and Germany.
19 14 At the end of the year, because the senior students of Dartmouth Royal Naval Academy graduated ahead of time to fight in the war, mountbatten and the students of Naval Academy transferred to the college to study.
1965438+In July 2006, mountbatten, a midshipman, was ordered to report to Admiral Betty's flagship "Lion". The "Lion" was a first-class warship of the Royal Navy at that time, perhaps because of the royal background, or because the navy's respect for Prince Louis contributed to this very favorable distribution to mountbatten. 1965438+In February 2007, George and mountbatten were transferred to the flagship service of General Betty.
19 17 In April, the United States entered the war. When the US Navy joined the Royal Navy, the German naval fleet was even more afraid to challenge. However, mountbatten did some hard work. 19 18, mountbatten was transferred to the K-6 submarine. The K-6 submarine is not as good as the modern submarines and U boats in Germany, but patrolling under the North Sea is more exciting than serving on the USS Dreadnaught, which gives him a sense of participating in the war.
Soon after, mountbatten was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and was ordered to command the Royal Navy ship P-3 1. P-3 1 is one of the fastest boats in the navy, which is specially used to deal with German submarines and escort transport ships to France. Mountbatten fell in love with the boat, and when the captain was away, he was 18 years old and took the responsibility of commanding the whole boat.
A few months later, mountbatten left his beloved spaceship and was ordered to attend a cram school at Chester College, Cambridge University. In the meantime, he led the Cambridge University team to beat the Oxford University team as a member of the debate committee of the Student Union, and was famous for his eloquence.
In the following year,1March, 920, mountbatten was promoted to captain of the navy, and then accompanied the Prince of Wales to sail. During seven months, mountbatten and the Prince of Wales visited many islands in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Ocean. Through this trip, mountbatten not only became familiar with the place where he will live and fight in the future, but more importantly, he established a solid friendship with his royal cousin, the Prince of Wales, and took the opportunity of this visit to organize the filming of the first British military education film.
192 1 in midsummer, at a dance, mountbatten met and fell in love with a rich woman-Edvi Hashel. 1922 July, they got married in Westphalia.
Five months after their marriage, mountbatten was ordered to serve on the intrepid battleship Revenge. With the signing of the Lausanne Convention, the Turkish crisis was solved, and the "Revenge" returned to Malta.
1924 In July and August, mountbatten paid a short visit to the United States with the Prince of Wales. In September, at the request, mountbatten was ordered to study telecommunications at the Royal Naval Communication School in Portsmouth. 1925 entered the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich for further study. After graduation, he served as the communication officer of Mediterranean Fleet. 193 1 was appointed as the radio liaison officer of the Mediterranean fleet. 193 1 was appointed as the radio liaison officer of the Mediterranean fleet. 1932 promoted to naval lieutenant colonel.
1934, mountbatten became the captain of the newly-built destroyer Brave. The design speed of Brave was 36 knots, but he managed to make it reach 38.2 knots.
Soon, Brave will sail for Singapore with the entire destroyer fleet, and mountbatten will be the captain of Westhart. During this period, mountbatten completed an important invention, that is, an instrument that can keep the fleet in formation. 1936, mountbatten left "Westhart" and went to work in the Admiralty. When mountbatten left, the sailors on the "Westhart" did not let him leave by motorboat, but in the traditional way that the Royal Navy showed respect and love to the captain, six naval officers rowed him off.
At that time, the focus of controversy among the various services in Whitehall was the leadership of the fleet aviation. Admiralty wanted to lead the fleet aviation with full authority, so they thought of mountbatten, hoping to strengthen Admiralty's weight in the competition with the help of mountbatten's communication ability and his prominent relationship. Admiralty appointed mountbatten as the aviation staff of Whitehall Fleet, and mountbatten didn't let the navy down-except the coastal reconnaissance aviation and escort aviation, all other fleet aviation were controlled by Admiralty.
Mountbatten's other extremely important contribution to the Royal Navy is little known. 1936, Nazi Germany was developing dive bombs, but the British had almost no corresponding countermeasures.
Austrian engineer Ganzda learned about Germany's new diving bomb through his relationship in Germany and found a cure. However, apart from mountbatten, no one in the British Admiralty is interested in this. As a last resort, mountbatten bought the invention in his own name.
1April, 939, mountbatten's friend, Admiral Beckhaus, entered the Admiralty. Facts have proved that the Ganzda gun is the best air defense weapon of the navy.
