Jonathan did not choose to run away in the end, the naval battle of this era is extremely dangerous, not everyone is willing to move forward bravely, in the naval battle, especially in the close contact battle, there are few people who turn around and run, there should be no such prerequisite.

This is not an order, but an experience formed during a long period of naval warfare. For naval warfare, you can only rush forward, appropriate evasion can, turn and run, any battleship is a nightmare-like existence, people turn around for only a few seconds, it is much more difficult for the battleship to turn around, the faster the battleship, the slower the turn, the fastest battleship, to turn around and return to the original position, it takes a long time, in the war, every minute is precious, turn around and waste precious time, it is better to rush forward directly, in both cases, the probability of being hit is the same, Even if you slow down when you turn around, you are still easy to be hit, and it is not easy to dodge.

Outside of time, when the battleship is designed, the front and side chords are always the most fierce and dense, and the tail is often only one or two artillery fire, dreadnought era, or a lot of it, but the angle is not enough, and when it escapes, it is almost always passively beaten.

Only rushing forward, the vast sea cannot be completely blocked like land, and there are gaps in the duel of hundreds of warships that can be crossed. The reason why Jonathan thinks this way is also that there may not be so many ships in the other side's fleet, as a naval colonel, Jonathan has access to most of the secrets of the navy, since the beginning of the war, the home fleet and the fast fleet, have resumed cruising in the North Sea, and there are small ships that can run out of the middle. It is unlikely that a large ship will be able to send out three capital ships. It's already quite impressive, with a maximum of a few destroyers. The rest, possibly improvised patchwork, such as old ships like ironclads, which are not very effective unless they have been improved.

The sudden appearance of the German navy proved the conjecture of Britain and France before, and the Chinese actions in Borneo not only had the shadow of the northwest, but also the German forces. Even before, what happened to the Dutch Navy had a lot to do with Germany, and as long as one capital ship came out, it was not surprising that the Netherlands would be wiped out.

It is necessary to preserve strength, Germany suddenly appeared several capital ships in East Asia, and now the East Asian fleet, any battleship is very important, maybe the next decisive battle will be. In order to hold the battleship to the maximum, Jonathan gave the order to all the ships to adjust their course. Rushing towards the opponent's battleship, of course, he deliberately avoided the capital ship and freely avoided the opponent's artillery fire.

Both sides were very fast. The Scheer fleet side had a top speed of 25 knots, and Jonathan's side was also close to 20 knots. From the time of the discovery of the Scheer fleet, the distance between the two sides was less than 10 nautical miles. Now it was driving at full speed again, a distance of 10 nautical miles, and it took less than 10 minutes to be in sight, at this time Jonathan froze, the other party's warships were not as few as he imagined, but many.

Needless to say, the 3 capital ships are mighty big guys at a glance, and even from visual inspection, they are much larger than the Queen Elizabeth class, isn't it that Britain has been pressing Germany in terms of shipbuilding capabilities, why do German battleships look bigger than Britain's.

In the field of battleships, it may not be big or strong, but the small ship must not be very strong, if it is large, it can accommodate more things, and it is easier to achieve a certain balance, especially for warships of more than 30,000 tons, 5,000 tons is a grade, within two grades, it is possible to divide equally, more than 2 grades, it is much more difficult, even if the technology is ahead.

As for being made by someone else, Jonathan didn't even think about it, the whole world, can make dreadnoughts, that is, only a few countries, and even some countries can't be counted, such as Italy, such as Austria-Hungary, and even Russia, Italy is a little better, has design capabilities, Austria-Hungary and Russia are an assembler, and those who really have the ability to innovate, that is, Britain and Germany, even the United States and France are one level behind. Such a large warship, if not built by Germany, would have been able to be built by that country.

He was not afraid of only three capital ships, but the other ships were very important, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and even destroyers were quite a lot, looking at the quality, they all seemed to be newly built, and the speed was also very fast, and the number was huge, at least more than 50 ships.

This is going to be a big deal, just to deal with 3 capital ships, that's nothing, spread as much as possible, so that the capital ships can't easily hurt him, no matter how powerful the capital ships are, there are only eight or nine guns, when they can't fire a salvo, the power is also limited, and the small ships should be dispersed far enough not to be hit by the capital ships, that's fine, but when dealing with dozens of capital ships of the same level, or even faster and stronger, it depends on how strong the opponent's battleship is.

In fact, a few minutes later, the opponent's battleship told him how strong it was, whether it was a destroyer or a cruiser, it was not a little bit worse, and the other party was obviously the latest cutting-edge battleship, maybe it had just completed sea trials, it was very powerful and sophisticated. Jonathan's side, the latest has been built for 10 years, for merchant ships, 10 years old, is just a very young age, but for warships, especially those of the early 20th century, this is almost a generation, or even two generations.

Without Xiao Jianfeng's invitation, the Scheer fleet was already rushing towards the other side like an arrow from the string, the Entente and the Central Powers had already declared war, the two sides were in a state of war, and every warship of the other side was a successful result, and the northwest helped them create such superior conditions, how could they not seize it.

A new warship is a new warship, speed protection, and even firepower, can crush the opponent, before their numerical superiority, when Scheer's fleet arrived, it was gone, and a war of annihilation began, almost a huge gap, almost a massacre.

Watching the Scheer fleet and the fast fleet catch fire, the Black Dragon can finally take a breath, continuous fighting, the armor can be immune to the opponent's naval guns, but it can be less damage or less damage, besides, from the beginning of the preoccupation of attention, whether it is attack or defense, the previous 2 hours of escape, that is a critical moment, he can't have the slightest mistake, otherwise there will be no current situation, fortunately he persevered, the Black Dragon persevered.

Relaxing from the tension, Xiao Jianfeng's legs were slightly weak, and after drinking a few cups of tea, he calmed down, and the correspondent reported that Scheer was coming. Scheer personally took the V1 to the side of the Black Dragon, and when he met Xiao Jianfeng, the battle was almost over, not only was the encirclement and annihilation of the fast fleet on this side nearing the end, but the other side was almost over.

Here in Sher, Xiao Jianfeng knew the movements of the main fleet of Britain and France not far away, they were even more unbearable than the fast fleet, the fast fleet, no matter what, was the speed, if they really went all out to escape, it was not without a chance, Jonathan's fleet finally ran away from 8 ships.

The capital ships are different, the difference in speed is obvious, the main fleet with a maximum speed of only 14 knots, facing the enemy who is 10 knots faster, and the strength is above them, there is no shortage in number, 6 capital ships easily deal with the front dreadnoughts, the rest of the heavy cruisers are on the loading patrol, the chess opponent will meet the good talent, after 1 and a half hours of melee, half of the 9 former dreadnoughts and 10 loading cruisers were sunk, the rest surrendered, only 4 ships in the entire fleet eventually ran away, and 2 of them had mechanical failures, The repairs that were repaired more than 20 nautical miles away happened to escape the encirclement of the Scheer fleet and escaped.

In a hearty victory, Scheer's fleet did not even pay the price of sinking a ship, but on a few ships, there was a little emotional intelligence, armor, or a little problem with the muzzle, which basically did not affect the battle.

Among them, the commanders of the Asian fleets of Britain and France were defeated and captured, and they basically did not stay long in Southeast Asia, and they were directly sold to the northwest by Schell.

Unconsciously, the export of population has become an important aspect of German income, from Belgium, northern France, and even after the conquest of Paris, a total of more than 5 million people have been transported, and they will receive an average salary of about 3 US dollars per month, which is a monthly income of 15 million US dollars, and an annual income of nearly 200 million US dollars, which greatly supports Germany's finances.

On the one hand, including talents from all walks of life, these people joined, which is a supplement to the Northwest, and the value created is far higher than the wages paid, on the other hand, even if there is no skill, working under some more difficult conditions, it is also one aspect, the Northwest has established a market economy, relying on market regulation, and the wages of working in remote areas and areas with poor conditions have been more than three times the ordinary wage. That is, about 150 US dollars per month, with one-tenth of the funds, to purchase enough labor, to transform remote and bad places, to the completion of development, is a mature area, when the time comes, in the gradual attraction of Chinese people, and gradually change the structure of the current country, will not be like the later generation of China, more than a billion people, are concentrated in the southeast plain area, the vast central and western regions, the population is quite sparse, the natural conditions can not be changed, as far as possible coordination, by the way to increase the greening rate of the west, Efforts should be made to reduce some deserts and disasters and increase the country's heritage.

These people are just ordinary uniforms, such as Kinghel, Jonathan and other senior generals, this is not such a fate, they will be arranged to be sent to Germany, waiting for them, it will be another experience, the German intelligence agencies will try their best to get some secrets from their mouths, by the way, it can be regarded as a process of display, annihilating a fleet, but few prisoners, it is unreasonable.
