April 3, 1916. The light warships of both sides reappeared as if they were going to work, 100 kilometers west of the island of Schulte, where the main battlefield of the light warships of both sides had been the most recent moment, and after Scheer was pinned down by the Russians, the British were bolder than before, and almost set up a battlefield on the doorstep of the Germans. And Scheer was fighting with Essen at this time, so the actions of the British can be described as fearless. Naturally, the German Navy would not turn a blind eye, and a large number of German destroyers relied on mine arrays to fight with the British destroyers, although they were not fierce, but they fought almost every day, and there were always a few unlucky ghosts who were sunk every day.

Today, however, the situation has changed somewhat, and under the deterrence of two British armored cruisers, the German destroyers have been completely intimidated, and they only dare to cruise around from a distance. These two old armored cruisers, armed with 9.2-inch guns, had the feeling of being the king of the mountains without tigers and monkeys, and they flaunted their might on the doorstep of the Germans. A short time later, an airship that looked like a huge cigar smoke appeared in the sky...... It's like walking in your own garden, and you're walking into the distance very leisurely. The Germans were inferior at sea, but in the air these huge guys were not afraid of anything except anti-aircraft artillery. At this time, it seems that the battleship did not think about how to defend the ......... of the aircraft.

Things have developed to this point, almost according to the daily script, with British and German auxiliary warships making trouble with each other, and German airships conducting reconnaissance. But soon, the script changes, and the break-in of a new guy makes everything a little confusing, and several biplanes suddenly dive down from the sky, followed by tongues of fire. Puff, puff, one of the airship's airbags bursts, and a large amount of hydrogen begins to overflow. Obviously, this time the British were not using an ordinary machine gun, but a powerful rapid-fire weapon, which could easily penetrate the shell of a hard airship and destroy the airbags inside.

Several planes were as small as flies in the face of the huge airship. But it was these little ones who put this behemoth in a desperate situation. The Germans never expected to be intercepted by planes at sea, so naturally they did not bring weapons. And with the space of the airship pod, even if you put two machine guns, you won't be able to hit! Although they knew that they might not be able to escape, the German officers and soldiers on the airship were still trying to search the sea while controlling the airship. Right now. Through the dense sea fog, a thick smoke is heading towards the battlefield, under the cover of sea fog and smoke, huge ships looming, but the scale does not look like the main force of the British High Seas Fleet, because the scale of the fleet below is still ......... smaller.

The vital telegram was finally sent out before the entire airship was smashed into a fireball by the plane's tracer bullets, and it was placed on Hipper's desk a quarter of an hour later. The titan of the High Seas Fleet looked at the telegram carefully and fell into deep thought. "Is this an opportunity or a trap?" When their own reconnaissance advantage is offset by the opponent's aircraft. Hipper's mind was a little uncertain, after all, no matter what the previous battle was. The German Navy could determine the whereabouts of the other side, and this time, it was clear that the other side was on guard, and it could not penetrate everything through the fog of war.

The fact that the opponent's plane can get here means that the opponent has an aircraft carrier. In this case, sending an airship over is undoubtedly a death, and you can try to fly by detour, but under the shield of the aircraft, there is always a sea area that you can't see. Where is the main British fleet? Will it suddenly appear on the battlefield? This is a problem that must be addressed. So, Hipper decided to wait and see.

To say that the German Navy was defenseless against the British using aircraft carriers to drive airships is absolutely wrong, who are Schell and Hipper? They are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. So Hipper didn't put all the treasure on the airship. The cordon built by the submarine is another reliance of Hipper, although it is impossible to monitor the British fleet, but the other party can still figure it out whether the other party has come or not! …………。

The wait was a long process, and 2 hours after the airship was smashed into a fireball, a telegram finally came from the submarine force responsible for perimeter vigilance and reconnaissance, saying that no trace of the British Grand Fleet had been found. That is, even if the German Navy was defeated, the British Grand Fleet would definitely not have appeared in the field of view of the Germans until they retreated to the protection of minefields, in other words. If the Germans did not chase and fight fiercely, they would not have encountered the British Grand Fleet at all, and the only main force of the British in this sea area was the fleet in front of them, and there would be no other forces. And after hearing the news, Hipper couldn't help but get excited, as if the opportunity to recreate the glory of the Battle of Doger Sandbank was just around the corner!

Hipper's fleet was always on standby, and when it was determined that the British Grand Fleet would not arrive...... With Hipper's order, the eight capital ships under his jurisdiction and their frigates rushed to the battlefield at full speed, and a major battle was about to break out. At this time, the fleets of both sides were moving opposite each other. Thomas didn't know what Hipper was doing, but it didn't matter, in his opinion, as long as he was sure that Scheer wouldn't come to the rescue, then he would run for nothing at most, and if he bitten, Thomas thought he had at least a seventy percent chance of winning! …。

Without the continuous reconnaissance of the airship, the reconnaissance efficiency of the Germans was greatly reduced, although the downed airship sent a telegram at the last moment, but the telegram did not say how many warships the British had. The submarine pulled out the cordon, but this cordon was full of loopholes, and it was possible to find whales like the British Grand Fleet. But for the 2 Queen-class battleships and auxiliary battleships that followed behind Thomas's fleet, nothing was found. One of the important reasons is that the size of this fleet is too small, but only 2 battleships and 6 destroyers, in order to prevent being attacked by submarines, these 6 destroyers do not carry torpedoes but anti-submarine equipment.

If this battle is compared to a big drama, then now that the British have appeared, the rest depends on whether the Germans dare to come!

"It's coming!" Hippert didn't keep Thomas waiting, and soon, Hipper's vanguard, destroyers led by 4 light cruisers, appeared in Thomas's telescopic field of vision, and they looked at the modest fleet from a distance. The 3 majestic Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are so conspicuous. They were a symbol of British sea power and the most formidable enemy of the German High Seas Fleet. Later, the two new Amsterdam-class fast battleships, which were supposed to be Dutch, lost the first capital ship of the German Navy, and then the Tiger, the only remaining of the four British Fisher-type super-dreadnought battle cruises. As for the latter two? In the eyes of the Germans, it is a soy sauce-level existence, a guy who can be killed in a little time! "In that case, let's get started!" Hipper said after making sure there were no other ships..........
