"Order the fleet, prepare for battle. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the glory of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, in this battle! "John? Admiral Jericho, gave the order to fight.

David? Lieutenant General Betty didn't say a word, but his face was very serious. He knew that this might be the last naval battle of his life.

Despite the formidable enemy, the officers and men of the British Royal Navy still showed an extremely tenacious will to fight. The spirit, handed down from Nelson's time, has inspired and motivated them.

In John? Under Admiral Jericho's orders, the Royal Navy was ready for a last-ditch effort. 14 battleships, lined up in a long battle line. First were the five 'Revenge class' battleships, followed by the 'King George V', followed by the three 'Orion-class' battleships, followed by the 'Agincourt', the 'Ireland' and 'Canada' battleships, and finally the 'Hercules' battleship.

Faced with this battle line of the British Navy, which was several kilometers long, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer also made a choice immediately.

"The First Line consisted of the battleships of the 'Bavaria-class', the battleships of the 'Caesar-class' and the battleships of the 'Nassau-class'. The second line consisted of the 'King-class' battleships, the 'Helgoland-class' battleships, the three 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers drawn from the battlecruiser formation, and the second ship of the 'D-Verblinger-class' battlecruisers, the 'Lützov' battlecruiser. Two battle lines, flanking the British! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer ordered.

If the German Navy added the battle cruisers, the number of capital ships was fully twice that of the remaining capital ships of the British Royal Navy. So, this allowed them to form two battle lines against the British Navy. Although, the battle cruiser did not seem to be very suitable for a decisive battle on the battle line. However, it has undoubtedly been proven in previous naval battles that the battlecruisers of the German Navy were no worse in defense than the battleships of the British Navy. It is completely possible to bombard the capital ships of the British. In such a situation, the German Navy was naturally victorious.

As for the remaining eight battlecruisers, they were made up of Maximilian? Feng? Led by Vice Admiral Spee, they were tasked with dealing with the small and medium-sized warships of the British Navy, including armored cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers. There are hundreds of small and medium-sized warships in the British Navy. If they launched a lightning strike regardless of casualties, it would undoubtedly be a great threat to the main fleet of the German Navy.

When it was seen that the German Navy had formed two battle lines, intending to flank the British Navy. John? Admiral Jericho and David? The lieutenant general's face couldn't help but become very ugly. There is no doubt that the German Navy is preparing to bully them with more and less.

"Shameless Germans, don't they dare to fight us in a grand and honest manner? Such a despicable and shameless tactic was adopted! "David? Lieutenant General Betty couldn't help but scold.

John? Admiral Jericho though not like David? Lieutenant General Betty is like that, but he is also very aggrieved.

"Hit the flagship of the Germans first, and then against another line of battle. This time, we must do our best! "John? Admiral Jericho gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Yes, General." The order was immediately conveyed. The officers and men of the Royal Navy were already indignant and ready to fight to the death with the German Navy.

At 12:34, the battle officially began.

The 1st battle line of the High Seas Fleet of the German Navy, which was the first to attack. The 2nd Battleline took some time to go around to the other side of the British Navy. Of course, in order to avoid being flanked as much as possible, the British Royal Navy was also constantly speeding up, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the German Navy's 2nd battle line. It's just that in terms of speed, the warships of the British Royal Navy also have no advantage in the slightest. This made it impossible for them to get rid of the German navy's two-sided attack, at most it was just a little longer.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battleship Bavaria, the flagship of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, opened fire first, and three triple 50x caliber 380mm guns began to roar. Shells weighing more than a ton whizzed and smashed into the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the Royal Navy.

The 'Bavaria-class' and 'revenge-class' battleships represented the strongest ships of the German and British navies, respectively. Now, the final showdown between these two battleships is finally begins.

"Fire!"

The British Royal Navy also launched a counterattack. Although, now the distance is more than 15 km, but for large-caliber naval guns, this already belongs to their effective attack range. It's just that at such a distance, it's very difficult to get a hit.

Although both sides were only test firing, the shelling was not too intense. However, the whole sea was still rumbling with cannons, which seemed very intense.

The 'Bavaria-class' battleship, as the most powerful first-class battleship of the German Navy, although the key data, was about the same as the 'King-class' battleship. However, what is more powerful than the 'King-class' battleships is the improvement in the soft power of the ships. The sighting equipment, the fire control system, are the most advanced. In addition, the 'Bavaria-class' battleships are also equipped with semi-automatic loaders, which greatly reduces the firing time of the 'Bavaria-class' battleships. If it takes a minute and a half for a 'King-class' battleship to fire a salvo, then the 'Bavaria-class' battleship takes only a minute.

Before there were precision-guided weapons, it was undoubtedly very necessary to hit the target and increase the output of firepower. The more shells you fire, the higher the hit rate will naturally be. In addition, the ability to aim more accurately increases the probability of hitting the target naturally.

The battle has just begun, John? Admiral Jericho and David? Lieutenant General Betty, felt this. How could those huge battleships of the German Navy on the opposite side have such a fast rate of fire?

"Oh God! The German 'Bavaria-class' battleships had an average rate of fire of one round a minute, right? How is this possible? "David? Lieutenant General Betty was shocked. You know, their 'revenge-class' battleships will take a minute and a half or even two minutes to be able to fire a salvo.

John? Admiral Jericho's heart was sinking. Because, he found that the disadvantages of the Royal Navy seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
