"General, Island Nation's Capital Ships almost all have the advantage of speed. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up. Especially 'Kaiser class' Battleship, the speed is too slow and it is impossible to catch up." Major General Felix said.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi nodded, of course he knew this.
"Let'Derfflinger class'Battlecruiser speed up. Although their speed is not as good as Island Nation's'Kii-class'Battleship. But the other Battleship is much slower than 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser," Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
"General, would it be dangerous to let the three 'Derfflinger class' Battleship pursue them alone? Once they encounter the Encirclement Offensive of the Island Nation people, our losses will probably be even greater." Major General Felix was a little worried.
"Tell the captains of each ship to control the combat distance and don't give the Island Nation people Encirclement Offensive a chance. Sea-search radar keep turning on. If the Island Nation fleet wants to Encirclement Offensive us, it will be impossible."
Major General Felix nodded and immediately conveyed Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi's order.
German fleet's battle line was immediately disbanded. The three ships 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser began to accelerate, while the three ships 'Kaiser class' Battleship gradually fell behind. After all, the maximum speed of 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser can soar to more than 27 knots. 'Kaiser class' Battleship can only maintain a speed of 24 knots at most.
"Ask General Otto Schneewind, where is his fleet? The Island Nation people have begun to retreat. If they still cannot arrive, then we can only watch those Island Nation people escape." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said. If possible, he certainly hopes to sink all the Capital Shipss in the Island Nation fleet in this battle. But he knew that this was impossible, so he could only sink as many Capital Shipss in the Island Nation fleet as possible.
"Okay, General." Major General Felix said. Now that they have an absolute advantage, the next step is to find ways to further expand their advantage as much as possible.
Soon, they received a call back from the Indian Ocean Fleet Battleship formation.
"General, Otto General Schneewind's fleet is fifty kilometers north of us. They are preparing to outflank the Island Nation people's retreat." Major General Felix reported.
"Very good, tell General Otto Schneewinter that they need to be faster. Otherwise, you can only watch the Island Nation people slip away." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battle continues. Although the speed of German fleet's three 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser cannot catch up with Island Nation Navy's 'Kii-class' Battleship, they can surpass the other Island Nation Capital Ships. The 'Tosa' Battleship was already on the verge of arriving at the battlefield, but now it had to turn around and evacuate. However, the three ships of German fleet, 'Derfflinger class' and Battlecruiser, targeted it, making the Battleship miserable.
If they only relied on their own strength, it would obviously be impossible to withstand the attack of German Navy's three ships 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser. As a last resort, the 'Tosa' Battleship had no choice but to ask for help from the flagship, asking the 'Suruga' and 'Ōmi' to slow down and wait for them. That way, they won't be at a disadvantage in a three-on-three matchup.
Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo had no choice but to slow down. However, he did not dare to be too slow. Once German fleet's three 'Kaiser class' Battleship catch up, they will be at a disadvantage again.
Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo didn't know that another German fleet was about to join the battlefield.
German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet's seven Capital Ships are entering the battlefield at high speed. The seven Capital Shipss are four 'Nassau-class' Battleship and three 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser. 'Nassau-class' Battleship is 'New Iron Duke-class' Battleship that British Navy did not finish in the previous World War. And 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser is the unfinished 'Centurion-class' Battlecruiser.
After the war, the construction of these warships was restarted with the input of Germany, and the construction was finally completed.
'Nassau-class' Battleship, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, is equipped with three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm Main Gun, with a maximum speed of 24 knots. The 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser has a displacement of 39,000 tons and a maximum speed of an astonishing 31 knots.
On the formation's flagship 'Nassau' Battleship, Lieutenant General Commander Otto? Schneewinter's face was calm. However, the eagerness in his eyes betrayed his mood at the moment.
The Battleship formation of Pacific Fleet fought so beautifully in this battle, sinking four Island Nation Navys and Capital Shipss. Although one of its own was lost, another one was severely damaged. But overall, I still took advantage of it. Not to mention, Pacific Fleet's Battleship formation is still chasing Island Nation Navy, and they might be able to gain some results in the next battle.
This made Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind very envious. He couldn't wait to join the battle and sink those Capital Shipss of Island Nation Navy, proving to the world that the Battleship formation of Indian Ocean Fleet was equally powerful.
"How long do we have until we can get to the battlefield?" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter asked.
"General, it is expected that we will be able to join the battle in an hour." Major General Abraham, chief of staff of the formation, said.
Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind nodded. "Let all ships prepare for battle. Once the Island Nation fleet is discovered, we will immediately go into battle. This time, we must kill all the Capital Shipss of the Island Nation people!"
"Yes, General." Major General Abraham nodded.
An hour later, two targets were discovered on the Radar screen of the Battleship, the flagship of the Indian Ocean Fleet Battleship formation, the Nassau.
"General, two targets were found 35 kilometers southwest of us. Based on the intelligence obtained from the Pacific Fleet Battleship formation, it was initially determined that they were two 'Fusō-class' Battleships belonging to the Island Nation people." Officer Radar reported.
Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewinter couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Every ship speeds up and gets rid of these two 'Fusō-class' Battleship first!" Otto Lieutenant General Schneewind ordered.
"Yes, General."
The seven Capital Shipss in the German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet Battleship formation rushed towards the two 'Fusō-class' Battleships in the Island Nation fleet at high speed.
