"General, the Atlantic Fleet Capital Ships formation has completed its mission. The 'Baden' number Battleship has been severely damaged and has withdrawn from the battle Fighting. However, they destroyed all four of Americans's 'South Dakota-class' and Battleship," Major General Rudolf reported.

"The Atlantic Fleet Capital Ships formation did a good job. Including our results, this time we killed a total of seven Capital Ships Americanss. So now, there are only eight Capital Shipss left in the Americans. And after deducting the Capital Shipss that were sunk and injured and returned to the mainland, we still have 19 ships. In terms of numbers, we still firmly hold the advantage." Lieutenant General Görcke said.

"Yes, General. However, Americans's'Montana-class'Battleship is too powerful. I want to sink their'Montana-class'Z Battleship, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. If we have to fight Capital Ships again, our losses will be very heavy," said Major General Rudolf. Major General Rudolf felt a little worried when he thought about how powerful Americans's 'Montana-class' Battleship was.

Lieutenant General Görcke nodded. The powerful 'Montana-class' Battleship indeed caused a great shock to German fleet. This also made the officers and soldiers of German Navy and Capital Ships feel a little regretful. Why did Germany not build a powerful Capital Ships? However, such thoughts were just fleeting.

Like American Navy's 'Montana-class' Battleship, the cost is very high. Building such a Battleship is enough to build two 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers, plus all Carrier-based aircraft. Obviously, one 'Montana-class' Battleship is definitely no match for two 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers. No matter how strong the defense is, two hundred Carrier-based aircrafts from two aircraft carriers are enough to sink it.

It is precisely because of this that German Navy did not build Battleship, but instead invested all limited resources in the research and development and construction of aircraft carriers. Let the aircraft carrier become the main force in this naval battle.

"The American 'Montana-class' battleships are very strong. However, I do not believe that they can still hold on under the siege of our shore-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft. We have completed our mission by sending telegrams to the flagships of each fleet. Next, it is up to them. I hope that after dawn, the shore-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft can be dispatched to kill all the American 'Montana-class' battleships!" Lieutenant General Geerke said.

"Those Capital Ships of Americans will definitely not be able to escape this time. Even if they evacuate westward at full speed now, they cannot escape the strike radius of our Carrier-based aircraft and shore-based aircraft." Major General Rudolf said.

Although it is a bit regretful that Americans's 'Montana-class' Battleship cannot be sunk in a Capital Ships duel. But as long as American Navy and Capital Ships can be solved in other ways. Then, German Navy also won this naval battle.

After the Capital Ships teams from both sides evacuated, this naval battle came to an end.

In any case, German Navy sank one Capital Ships and three Capital Shipss were damaged, sinking American Navy and seven Capital Shipss. This is undoubtedly a huge victory for German Navy. You know, German Navy and Capital Ships are all old battleships that have been in service for more than 20 years. As for American Navy and Capital Ships, they are all cutting-edge Battleship!

Moreover, American Navy and the remaining Battleship are not out of danger yet. Once daybreak comes, German Navy's shore-based aircraft and Carrier-based aircraft's Encirclement Offensive will be a greater test for them.

On German Home Fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'Poseidon', Fleet Commander Marshal Lütjens and Chief of Staff Karl Lieutenant General Witzel stayed up all night. They have been waiting for the result of the battle between their own Capital Ships formation and American Navy's Capital Ships formation.

Although, they have made all preparations. And the Capital Ships formation of American Navy has been lured into a trap. However, it is very difficult to say whether it can defeat the Capital Ships formation of American Navy in one fell swoop and make it pay heavy casualties. After all, American fleet is too powerful. Those new Battleship have strong defense and firepower. These are things that the Capital Ships formation of German fleet does not have.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the naval battle is over." A Communications Officer reported.

"How was the result?" Marshal Lütjens asked immediately.

"We won. In this naval battle, we sank four ships American Navy'South Dakota-class'Battleship and three ships 'Iowa-class'Battleship. As for our own, only one "Caesar" class Battleship was sunk. In addition, three Capital Ships were damaged. Now, the fleets on both sides have broken off," the officer reported.

"Great, we were able to sink Americans 7 ships Capital Ships." Marshal Lütjens couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency, it seems that our plan this time is considered a success!" Karl Lieutenant General Wetzel said.

Marshal Lütjens nodded, took Telegram from Communications Officer's hand, and read it carefully. However, after watching Telegram, the smile on his face disappeared and his expression became serious.

"Americans's 'Montana-class' Battleship is more powerful than we expected! Our Capital Ships is completely powerless against them." Marshal Lütjens sighed.

"Your Excellency, Americans's 'Montana-class' Battleship, can they be called the most powerful Battleship currently in service?" Karl? Lieutenant General Witzel asked.

"That's almost it! However, no matter how strong their 'Montana-class' Battleship is, they will never let them go this time! Order all bases on Azores to prepare for an attack. After dawn, take off the fighter planes and attack the Capital Ships formation of Americans. Sink all the Capital Shipss as much as possible!" Marshal Lütjens ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Karl? Lieutenant General Wetzel nodded.

"In addition, the fleet begins to move west. After dawn, take off a group of Carrier-based aircraft to assist shore-based aircraft in launching an attack." Marshal Lütjens then ordered.

After discovering the power of American fleet's 'Montana-class' Battleship, Marshal Lütjens has decided to deal with them at all costs.

At the same time, Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet already knew the results of the battle. They are also very satisfied with the Capital Ships formation that was able to defeat American fleet. They all unanimously ordered the fleet to start preparing to send Carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack after dawn, completely destroying Americans's Capital Ships formation.
