"Your Excellency, the battleship 'Bellerophon' is sinking, and Admiral Davidson has asked to abandon it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Correspondence officer to John? Admiral Jericho reported.

John? Admiral Jericho's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Previously, he had dreamed of sinking about 20 capital ships of the German Navy in a decisive battle. However, before they could engage in a decisive battle with the German Navy, they were besieged by the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, and once again lost one capital ship. What's even worse is that the attacks of those carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy have not ended yet! Who knows how many capital ships they will lose in the next battle.

"Allow them to abandon the ship!" John? Admiral Jericho said through gritted teeth.

Since the battleship 'Bellerophon' can no longer be salvaged, it is destined to sink. In such a situation, John? Admiral Jericho was naturally unable to refuse their request to abandon the ship. After all, he wanted the officers and men of the Royal Navy to fight to the death, but that didn't mean he could deliberately murder them. In that case, even if the battle is over, he will go to court-martial. Unless, of course, he dies in a naval battle.

After receiving the order to abandon the ship, the officers and men of the Royal Navy on the battleship Bellerophon rushed to board the lifeboat. But there are only so many lifeboats that it's almost impossible to get everyone on board. Therefore, less than 200 of the more than 700 officers and men on board the battleship Bellerophon escaped, and the rest sank into the sea with the battleship.

Compared to the battleships 'Bellerophon', the 'Magnificent' and 'Reckless' had a little better luck. Although they also suffered a few torpedoes, they were not fatal. It's just that it also suffered a lot because of too much water.

When the German Navy's carrier-based planes finished dropping bombs and swaggered away, the British Royal Navy Grand Fleet on the sea was already deeply shocked. A round of attacks by the carrier-based aircraft forces of the German Navy cost them the loss of one battleship and two heavy losses. This undoubtedly cast a shadow on their hearts once again in this naval battle.

"Your Excellency, I have to admit that the Germans are already far ahead of us. While we were still thinking about how to build more powerful and defensive warships to catch up with the Germans, they had already completed a magnificent transformation, and actually applied the aircraft to naval warfare, and they also achieved extremely good results. It seems that the Royal Navy, after hundreds of years of world domination, has already carried it, and this is what allowed the Germans to surpass us. In this battle, we are not unjustly defeated! "David? Lieutenant General Betty sighed.

John? Admiral Jericho nodded, and although he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth. Once again, the Germans went ahead of the British and began to attack surface warships with their aircraft. This was something that the British Navy had not thought of at all.

This also puts them in an even more disadvantageous position in this war. If you want to win this war, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

"This way of attacking the surface fleet with aircraft is really unheard of. It is indeed admirable that the Germans actually came up with such a way of fighting. If the British Empire can make a breakthrough in this regard, it may be able to turn our defeat into victory. "John? Admiral Jericho said. Even by this time, he had not given up on defeating the Germans.

"Your Excellency, this is hard. We simply do not know how the planes of the Germans managed to fly such a long distance, or rather, they simply took off at sea. If you want to figure these things out, then study them, and form combat effectiveness, it will undoubtedly take a long time. And the Germans, definitely not going to give us that much time. "David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

Speaking of which, John? Admiral Jericho's eyes couldn't help but darken. Indeed, Germany has too many advantages in this regard, and if Britain wants to catch up, it will undoubtedly start from scratch. What's more, Germany already has an absolute advantage in this war. Therefore, they will definitely not give Britain another chance to catch up with them.

"Your Excellency, the planes of the Germans flew away, and we suffered great losses. However, the Germans seemed to be able to carry only light torpedoes, so they were only able to attack the 'Bellerophon-class' battleships. This is already a great blessing in the midst of misfortune. If the German planes were able to strike at our super-dreadnoughts, it would be truly deadly. "David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

"Yes, God bless the British Empire. The planes of the British could not pose a threat to our lead battleship! "John? Admiral Jericho said.

When the British were glad that the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft attack had ended, they did not know that the second batch of 48 carrier-based aircraft was on their way. Moreover, these 48 carrier-based aircraft, all of which are torpedo attack aircraft carrying torpedoes, for surface warships, the threat of torpedo attack aircraft is undoubtedly much greater than that of fighters.

The aviation machine guns of fighters, at most, pose some damage to the personnel on the battleship, and cannot pose a threat to the hull structure. However, torpedoes carried by torpedo attack aircraft can pose a lethal threat to surface warships. Even light aviation torpedoes are no less deadly.

Once the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy were able to carry medium and even heavy aviation torpedoes, it was a real killer at sea, and for surface warships, it would become a mortal threat. However, due to scientific and technological reasons, the German Navy was not able to succeed in this regard.

"Generals, planes, planes of the Germans are here again." A British officer shouted.

John? Admiral Jericho and David? Lieutenant General Betty immediately rushed to the window, picked up the binoculars and looked at the eastern sky.

I saw that dozens of planes were flying towards them, and the torpedoes hanging under the belly of the plane were shining with a cold edge.

"Damn! There were at least forty or fifty planes in this, and where did these planes of the Germans take off from? "John? Admiral Jericho couldn't help but scold, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

Previously, the planes of the German Navy had already cost them one battleship, and two more battleships were sunk. Now, with dozens of planes appearing, wouldn't that make them pay even more losses?
