Huang Fu had spent much of spring 1935 in talks with the Japanese in Shanghai rather than in Beiping.

Over the course of the next half hour, whilst admittedly scoring the only hit on the Grand Fleet itself when one of Seydlitz's guns managed to hit HMS Colossus, Seydlitz herself would be hit no less than six times.

Senses: examples: text: One last scenario that was played in the evening we chose to excise from our overall results from the point where the Grand Fleet was sighted, and that was basically because, having kind of seen how the first six scenarios had gone, the person playing Hipper in that particular scenario decided "screw it, as soon as I see the Grand Fleet coming, the entire High Seas Fleet just turned east and death-rode straight into the 5th and 6th Battle Squadrons". Now, that, admittedly, did do an awful lot more damage (the 5th and 6th were almost completely wiped out), but the High Seas Fleet was, in turn, almost completely wiped out (in fact, basically was wiped out, to a man) by the oncoming rest of the British Grand Fleet, and it was decided by everybody that this kind of, like, suicidal, completely suicidal, charge was probably a bit out of character for Hipper, and so we didn't take that particular one into account.
