"General, the Island Nation Navy has begun accelerating! Radar shows that their battle line has split. The last two battleships have broken away from the nine battleships ahead of them," Major General Felix reported.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi nodded. "It seems sinking one of their battleships has driven them all into a frenzy. To improve their hit rate and strike us, they are willing to accelerate like mad."
"General, what should we do?" A trace of concern flashed across Major General Felix's face.
Although they had sunk one Island Nation Navy battleship, the Island Nation fleet still had eleven battleships. They had only eight. Even if two of the Island Nation fleet's Capital Ships had been left behind due to their speed, it was still nine against eight. They held no advantage whatsoever.
The German Navy's eight Capital Ships truly had no advantage in speed. The Kaiser class Battleships were, after all, old ships from the last World War. At that time, the standard speed of Capital Ships around the world was only about twenty knots. Thus, the Kaiser class's twenty-three-knot speed had been considered quite fast then. But now, the speed of Capital Ships across the world was moving toward thirty knots. By comparison, the Kaiser class Battleships seemed very slow. Even after modernization and reinforcement of their propulsion systems, the Kaiser class Battleships could only maintain a maximum speed of twenty-five knots. Apart from being slightly faster than the Island Nation Navy's Fusō-class Battleships, they were slower than every other Battleship.
The Island Nation Navy's Ise-class Battleships had a maximum speed of twenty-five knots, the Nagato-class Battleships could reach twenty-four-point-three knots, the Kaga-class Battleships could reach as much as twenty-six-point-five knots, and the Kii-class Battleships had soared to a terrifying twenty-nine-point-seven-five knots. Before these New-style Battleships, the Kaiser
