"Your Excellency, in this afternoon's battle, the battlecruiser Lion was suppressed almost from the beginning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The Germans formed a straddle before us, the first to get a hit, the first to hit us. That feeling is completely pressed and beaten by the Germans! Even after the arrival of the Royal Princess, our two powerful battlecruisers laid siege to the German battlecruiser, but the Lion was quickly sunk. Of course, I don't deny that there is a certain element of luck in this. But the battleships of the Germans were strong in the past, and this is really beyond doubt! "David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

Churchill and John? Admiral Jericho frowned, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. They know David? Betty's personality knows that he won't deliberately say that in order to shirk responsibility. So, there is undoubtedly only one possibility. That's the battleship of the German Navy, it's really very powerful.

It's just that it is precisely because of this that they are a little worried about the situation of the Royal Navy.

"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral, if the warships of the German Navy are really so powerful that they can defeat us with one enemy and two enemies, then it will be difficult for the Royal Navy to defeat the Germans. After all, the Germans are now building ships at a very terrifying rate, and the Royal Navy, although it has also accelerated the speed of shipbuilding, has never been able to gain twice the advantage of the Germans. Of course, I personally don't think that is a big possibility. After all, the Germans developed their navy much later than we did. It's unlikely that they will really outrun us in such a short period of time, and still be so far ahead of us. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

If you were any other person, you would probably think so. The British Empire has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years, not only because of the outstanding quality of the British Navy, but also because the British Navy has a great lead in building ships. This can be seen from the fact that they were the first to start the era of dreadnoughts. Therefore, the generals of the Royal Navy have always believed that the Royal Navy's shipbuilding technology is the most powerful in the world. It has always maintained an advantage over other countries.

Actually, that's exactly what happened. The British Navy's shipbuilding strength and technology are indeed far ahead of other countries. But what they didn't know was that with Qin Tian, the biggest existence like cheating, the German Navy was able to surpass the Royal Navy in a very short period of time in terms of the performance of the warships. After all, Germany's industrial technology is no worse than that of Britain. The only thing that is bad may be their way of thinking about building ships. But Qin Tian is different, as a traverser, he has a great advantage in this regard. Under his 'guidance', the German Navy was naturally able to overtake in corners very quickly.

"Your Excellency, during the battle, the battle cruiser 'Lion' hit the main turret of the German battle cruiser. But what is incredible is that after the shell exploded, the opponent's No. 1 main turret was unscathed! "David? Betty continued.

"Shhh

Both Churchill and Admiral Jericho gasped.

"How could the Germans' defenses be so strong? Are you sure it wasn't a battleship? Admiral Jericho asked.

In general, in the pursuit of speed and firepower, battleships had to compromise on defense. Battlecruisers are the ultimate in this regard. It has the firepower of a battleship, and it also has the speed of a cruiser, but its defense is not much stronger than that of an ordinary cruiser.

But the German Navy's battle cruisers were able to withstand the shelling of 343 mm guns, which is too amazing!

"Your Excellency, the German battleships we are fighting are very fast, and they are not much different from the 'Lion-class' battlecruisers. So, how could that be a battleship? "John? Lieutenant General Betty shook her head.

"Perhaps, it's just a coincidence. After all, when a shell hits a target, it often bounces off because of the angle of fire. Churchill said.

"It's a possibility. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Germans had a strong defense of battlecruisers. If the defense is not strong, the shells will not bounce so easily. Admiral Jericho said.

"The Germans have a different approach to shipbuilding than we do, we pursue speed and firepower, but the Germans pursue defense and survivability. Now it seems that the Germans have done a very good job in terms of defense! Churchill sighed.

"Your Excellency, it is too early to say the merits of the two lines of thought now. The war has only just begun. The warships of the German Navy, perhaps, were very powerful. But it would be ridiculous if this could defeat the Royal Navy. In the next battle, the Royal Navy will find a way to verify the true strength of the German Navy. Future victories must belong to the Royal Navy. Admiral Jericho said confidently.

Churchill nodded too, and he thought so. Although, judging by the current situation, the Royal Navy seems to be in big * trouble. Overall, however, the Royal Navy still has the upper hand.

"No, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Commander. I'm not as optimistic as you are. This afternoon's battle was a big shock to me. The German Navy was nowhere near as bad as we expected. Even their soldiers are not much different from us. If their warships can suppress us in terms of performance, then we may be in great trouble this time. "David? Lieutenant General Betty shook her head.

Churchill and John? Admiral Jericho frowned, in their impression, David? Betty was a man of courage, could it be that she was defeated by the Germans once and became timid? If that's the case, that's not good. After all, David? Vice Admiral Betty's current duties, but if he commands the battle cruiser formation of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet, if he becomes cautious, he will miss many opportunities, and it will also have a great impact on future wars.

David? After Lieutenant General Betty saw the expressions of the two, he also understood what they were worried about, and hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Commander, I say this, it does not mean that I am afraid of the Germans. Rather, through this encounter, I realized that the Germans were not easy to deal with, even more difficult to deal with than we expected. The Germans will surpass any of the previous opponents of the British Empire, and we will have to defeat the Germans with all our might! ”
