"General, the Island Nation's Capital Ships almost all have a speed advantage. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to catch up to them. Especially the Kaiser-class Battleships—they are too slow to catch up at all," Major General Felix said.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi nodded. Of course he knew that.
"Have the Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers increase speed. Their speed may not match the Island Nation's Kii-class Battleships, but the other Battleships are considerably slower than the Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers," Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
"General, will it be dangerous to have the three Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers pursue them alone? If they encounter an Encirclement Offensive by the Island Nation, our losses may be even greater," Major General Felix said worriedly.
"Tell the captains of every ship to maintain the engagement distance and not give the Island Nation an opportunity to encircle us. Keep the Sea-search radar switched on. With that, it will be utterly impossible for the Island Nation fleet to encircle us."
Major General Felix nodded and immediately passed down Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi's orders.
The German fleet's battle line promptly broke apart. The three Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers began accelerating continuously, while the three Kaiser-class Battleships gradually fell behind. After all, the Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers could surge to a maximum speed of over twenty-seven knots. The Kaiser-class Battleships could maintain no more than twenty-four knots.
"Ask General Otto Schneewind where his fleet has reached. The Island Nation is beginning to withdraw. If they still cannot make it in time, then we can only watch those Island Nation ships escape right before our eyes," Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said. If possible, he naturally hoped to sink all the Island Nation fleet's Capital Ships in this battle. But he knew that was impossible, so he could only sink as many of the Island Nation
