On the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the British Navy's Grand Fleet, John? Admiral Jericho and David? Lieutenant General Betty was silent for a long time, and both of them looked very ugly. After the loss www.biquge.info of three 'Bellerophon-class' battleships and three 'St. Vincent-class' battleships, this was undoubtedly worse for the British Navy. Combined with the previous losses, there are only 14 warships left that they can continue to fight.

"Your Excellency, Commander, or let's retreat at once while the main force of the Germans has not yet arrived." David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

Now he can be said to have no confidence in winning at all.

Although, the remaining 14 battleships of the Royal Navy, including six 'Revenge-class' battleships, one 'King George V', three 'Orion-class' battleships, 'Agincourt', 'Ireland' and 'Canada' and 'Hercules' battleships, can be regarded as capital ships. However, compared with the main warships of the German Navy, the gap is still too large.

Before the battle began, John? Admiral Jericho and David? Vice Admiral Betty thought they could sink at least fifteen of the German Navy's capital ships. But now, they had only 14 battleships left, and they had to face a siege from more than twice as many of the capital ships of the German Navy. Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to sink so many capital ships of the German Navy?

It can be said that it was from this time that their plans had completely failed. Even if the Royal Navy Grand Fleet were to be completely annihilated, the losses to the German Navy would be very limited.

Churchill's plan to inflict heavy damage on the German Navy at the expense of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet and create favorable opportunities for subsequent operations proved to be simply unworkable.

The German navy relied on its superior strength and advanced tactics, which allowed them to defeat the Royal Navy at a very small cost. After the victory of the German Navy in this battle, they will become a well-deserved supremacy at sea. It will be very difficult for other countries to challenge Germany's supremacy. Of course, countries may not have the courage to do so at all.

As for the remaining huge pre-dreadnoughts of Britain, if they were sent to the battlefield, it would undoubtedly be a dead end. In front of the cutting-edge battleships of the German Navy, those former dreadnoughts, even if they were numerous, but in the end, they were all sunk.

However, I am afraid that it will not be possible to retreat now. John? Admiral Jericho thought that since the German Navy had already planned this series of tactics, how could it be possible to let them escape again?

"General Betty, escaping simply won't work. Don't forget, not far from us, there are 12 German battle cruisers on the lookout. Even, our current strength, even those 12 battle cruisers, may not be able to fight. "John? Admiral Jericho said in frustration.

Indeed, six of the 12 battlecruisers of the German Navy were armed with 380 mm guns and were no worse than their 'revenge class'. The other six are also cutting-edge warships. Although the Royal Navy still had 14 battleships, it was almost impossible to win the battle cruiser formation of the German Navy.

David? Lieutenant General Betty was immediately speechless. He had to admit that if the battlecruiser formations of the German Navy attacked, they would not necessarily be able to win with 14 battleships. After all, the capital ships of the German Navy were too strong, whether they were battlecruisers or battleships, their performance was very strong. This, the Royal Navy, which had already suffered heavy losses under the attack of the German Navy, should have been very clear.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we still have so many cruisers and destroyers. A lightning strike alone was enough to break through the Germans' interception. "David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

John? Admiral Jericho still shook his head: "I know, you don't want to see the elite of the Royal Navy buried here. But now we can't escape. Let's not forget that the main fleet of the Germans has not yet appeared. We have been discovered by them for so long, and the main fleet of the Germans cannot be unarrived. If I did not guess, the main fleet of the Germans, the British, went around to our north. So, our retreat has been intercepted. If we wanted to break through from somewhere else, the German battlecruiser formations would definitely entangle us. When the time comes, we will be flanked by the Germans, and we will soon be completely defeated by them. ”

David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded reluctantly, he knew John? Admiral Jericho was right. Now they should have fallen into the trap of the Germans. The Germans orchestrated this decisive battle. From sending battleships to bombard Edinburgh, forcing the main forces of the Royal Navy to go to sea for a decisive battle, then attacking their battle cruiser detachments, and then sending out planes to weaken the main fleet of the Royal Navy. In the end, it was time for the main fleet of the German Navy to be dispatched and all the main fleet of the Royal Navy was eliminated in one fell swoop.

Now, the first few steps have been completed by the German Navy, and the last step remains, which is to encircle and annihilate the remaining warships of the main fleet of the British Navy. How could the German Navy abandon this step and let them go? It's simply not possible.

"Now, we just have to keep fighting. Hopefully, God will bless us and sink as many German ships as possible! This is the only thing we can do for the British Empire. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

David? Lieutenant General Betty sadly discovers that there really seems to be only one way for them to go.

John? Admiral Jericho didn't speculate, Reinhardt? The main force of the High Seas Fleet led by Admiral Schell had already circled to the north of the main fleet of the British Navy. If the British Navy were to go north, they would encounter them. At that time, the German navy will undoubtedly be able to defeat the British navy in one fell swoop and destroy all their remaining warships.

But regardless of John? Admiral Jericho's choice. The current Royal Navy's main fleet seems to have no other way to choose. In the face of the German navy, which Germany had already had absolute superiority, their fate in this naval battle seemed to have been decided, that is, to be defeated, and even most likely to be completely annihilated. Except for the battlecruiser "Tiger" and the battleship "Queen Elizabeth", which had withdrawn from the battlefield before, the rest of the battleships may not be able to escape.
