Late at night on March 20, Scapa Bay was brightly lit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info large searchlight, illuminating the entire Scapa Bay. By John? Admiral Jericho's speech inspired the brave officers and men of the Royal Navy to sail out of the waterways of Scapa Bay and into the North Sea, one after another.

Although the number of capital ships of the Royal Navy is no longer as good as that of the German Navy, the performance of a single ship cannot be compared with that of the German Navy. However, they still believe that they can win this naval battle.

The ships of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet were regrouped. Among them, the battleships formed a number of battleship detachments, including the 1st Battleship Detachment consisting of five 'Revenge-class' battleships, the 2nd Battleship Detachment consisting of three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, and the 3rd Battleship Detachment consisting of the 'King George V' and three 'Orion-class' battleships. The second ship of the 'Giant-class' battleships, the battleship Hercules, together with the battleships Agincourt, the battleship Ireland and the battleship Canada, formed the 4th battleship detachment. The 5th Battleship Detachment consisting of three 'St. Vincent-class' battleships and three 'Bellerophon-class' battleships anchored in Wick. The remaining six battle cruisers formed a battle cruiser detachment.

In addition to these capital ships, the Royal Navy also dispatched a large number of cruisers and destroyers, bringing the total size of their fleet to more than 150 ships, about 30 more than the German Navy's high seas fleet.

Of course, no matter how many of these small and medium-sized warships there are, it will be difficult for them to have a fundamental impact on the war situation. What really determines the victory or defeat of the sea depends on the duel between the capital ships, which is the most important thing.

"General Betty, you lead the battle cruiser detachment and set out first, stop the German battle cruiser formation, and once again attack our coastal cities. If you can, it's better to beat them. "John? Admiral Jericho ordered.

"Yes, General. However, I am afraid that this will be very difficult. Even if the 12 battlecruisers of the Germans did not act together, only half of them, we would not be able to defeat them. Of course, I'll do my best to hold them back. "David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

"General Betty, I intend to assign the 2nd Battleship Detachment to your command. With the strength of three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, combined with six battle cruisers, if you encounter a German battle cruiser detachment, you should have the strength to fight, right? As long as the Germans had not assembled all the battlecruisers, they should have a chance of winning. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

David? Lieutenant General Betty's eyes flashed with joy. If he were to use six battle cruisers against the 12 battle cruisers of the German Navy, there would naturally be no chance of victory. Not to mention the doubling of the number, even the performance of a single ship, the battle cruisers of the British Navy are far from being comparable with the battle cruisers of the German Navy. In such a situation, David? The ending of Lieutenant General Betty is naturally conceivable.

However, with three more 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, the situation may not be the same. The 'Queen Elizabeth class' battleship is the most powerful first class battleship of the British Royal Navy. Of course, it cannot be compared with the battleships of the same class of the German Navy, but against the battlecruisers, it should still be possible. As John? As Admiral Jericho said, as long as it did not encounter all 12 battlecruisers of the German Navy, the six battlecruisers of the British Navy plus three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships undoubtedly had a great chance of victory.

"Your Excellency, why did you change your plans?" David? Lieutenant General Betty asked.

Before, John? Admiral Jericho's plan was to make David? Vice Admiral Betty entangled the German Navy's battlecruisers, and then the battleship formation he led fought a decisive battle with the German Navy's battleship formation, trying to sink as many German battleships as possible.

"The surprise attack of the Germans cost us two 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, one 'Orion-class' battleship, one 'Giant-class' battleship and the 'Neptune' battleship. As a result, our battleship formations suffered heavy losses. If we use the battleship formation to resist the battleship formation of the Germans, we will definitely have no chance of winning. When the time comes, it will be ugly to lose. That's why I decided to let you fight the German battle cruiser formations first. With the help of three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, it was possible to defeat the German battlecruiser formation. In this way, we will not be completely at a disadvantage. Anyway, whether it was the battleships or the battlecruisers of the Germans, they were all we needed to sink. Just do your best to sink these capital ships of theirs. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

"Yes, General, I will do my best to fight this battle!" David? Lieutenant General Betty said. He knows, John? Admiral Jericho had put all his hopes of victory on him. It was precisely because of this that he felt how heavy the responsibility was on his shoulders.

John? Admiral Jericho nodded: "For the sake of the British Empire, this time we have no way out, we must fight to the death." Even if we die in battle, we will have to make the Germans pay a sufficient price. ”

David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded heavily.

Although, they all thought that Churchill's plan was too ruthless. However, they all knew that this was the only chance. If the Grand Fleet could inflict a large enough casualty on the German Navy. Then, Britain still has a chance to turn defeat into victory in this battle. Otherwise, Britain will have no chance at all.

Although, the British Navy left Scarpa Bay in the middle of the night. However, the same did not escape the pursuit of the German Navy. After the British Navy's Grand Fleet had just left Scapa Bay and began to move south. A submarine surfaced.

Intelligence about the departure of the Grand Fleet of the British Navy from Scarpa Bay was immediately brought into play by the Admiralty. The Admiralty immediately sent this information to the High Seas Fleet.

"The British have finally sorted. Then, the decisive battle between us and the British is about to begin. The Imperial German Navy was destined to step on the corpse of the British Royal Navy and ascend to the throne of the supremacy of the seas. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer is full of confidence in this naval battle. He believed that with such a big advantage, the victory would be theirs.
