On the evening of September 1, 1914, three huge battleships slowly sailed out of Wilhelmshaven Naval Base. Under the escort of several Light Cruiser and destroyers, they left the military port and sailed into the vast Atlantic Ocean. These three huge battleships are none other than German Navy's 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser, and they are also the powerful Capital Ships that German Navy has been hiding.

In order to hide their strength, they were not even dispatched during the diplomatic-breaking operations. But now, in order to break the trap set by the Britain people and make the Britain people suffer a big loss, Oscar finally decided to send them out.

General Commander Reinhard? Scheer of German High Seas Fleet personally directed this operation. Therefore, he took the 'Derfflinger' Battlecruiser as his flagship, commanded these Battlecruisers, and joined the upcoming naval battle.

Although, it is already night. But under the bright moonlight, the figure of 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser still looks so tall and straight, with a strong deterrent effect. Especially the 380mm Main Gun, which was shrouded in a thick gun jacket, exuded a terrifying aura.

Admiral Reinhard? Scheer stood on the bridge, looking at the huge battleship under his feet, feeling very excited. As Commander of High Seas Fleet, the burden on his shoulders is undoubtedly very heavy. It can be said that he shoulders the dream of German Navy defeating British Navy and dominating the world's oceans. If you were a weak-willed person, you might have been crushed long ago. However, General Reinhard? Scheer did not. Because German High Seas Fleet's powerful strength allows his waist to always be straight.

"Come on, Britain people. This time, let me show you the true strength of German Empire Navy. Now German Empire Navy is no longer the weak offshore navy it used to be. We have enough strength to defeat you and let you know the price of provoking German Empire." General Reinhard? Scheer swore secretly in his heart.

For every officer and soldier of German Navy, watching British Navy show off his power on the ocean, and even rely on his strong strength to suppress Germany step by step, is undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for them. Now, they finally have the opportunity and the strength to take revenge. This is certainly something worth getting excited about.

"Send Telegram to Admiral Hipper and Admiral Spee and let them act according to the predetermined plan. Defeat the four ships of the Britain people'King George V "Battlecruiser, it's up to them. We will attack again when the Germany people's ambush appears." General Reinhard? Scheer ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Communications Officer immediately went to send Telegram.

Soon, the fleet went into blackout. The entire fleet sailed on the aircraft carrier under the cover of night. They will break through the blockade of Britain people as soon as possible and enter the vast Atlantic Ocean.

On Atlantic Ocean, German High Seas Fleet 1st Battlecruiser Squadron and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron are swimming in the vast ocean, looking for targets to attack.

On board the number 'Blücher' Battlecruiser, Vice Admiral Hipper, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up.

"General, this is Telegram from Your Excellency Commander." Communications Officer delivered Telegram to Vice Admiral Hipper.

"Haha, I knew we would not miss this opportunity. Order the fleet to turn around immediately, contact 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron, and join them as soon as possible." Vice Admiral Hipper couldn't help laughing after reading Telegram. He has learned the information that Britain has mobilized a huge fleet from Canada. However, he did not dare to act rashly without receiving a clear order. Now, German High Seas Fleet has officially made the decision to eat the huge fleet of Britain people, and has also dispatched 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser to participate in the war. This has undoubtedly shown German Navy's determination.

On German Navy's 'Moltke' number Battlecruiser, Vice Admiral Spee also received Telegram from General Reinhard? Scheer. After reading Telegram, Admiral Reinhard? Scheer ordered the fleet to start turning and prepare to act according to the predetermined plan.

After sinking the "Lion" Battlecruiser, Vice Admiral Spee has become a star among German Navy. Even German Emperor Wilhelm II commended him and decided to personally award him a medal, which made Vice Admiral Spee very excited. At the same time, he also liked the feeling of sinking the enemy's Capital Ships even more.

Now, the Britain people actually want to send a fleet from Canada back to British mainland. Although this is a trap, it still makes Vice Admiral Spee very excited. If he could seize this opportunity, the fleet under his command might be able to achieve one or more victories. After all, the performance of 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser is undoubted. Even compared to Battleship, which is at the same level as Britain, it still has a certain advantage. Not to mention Battlecruiser who belongs to Britain.

Of course, if you want to get a bargain, it's best to bump into Britain's 'Invincible-class' Battlecruiser and 'Indefatigable-class' Battlecruiser. These two levels of Battlecruiser are undoubtedly the most rubbish existences. If you are caught by them, you will definitely die.

When German Navy had decided to eat the bait British Navy deliberately put down, British Navy did not know this. They are still implementing the plan step by step.

The remaining two ships of British Navy's 'Invincible-class' Battlecruiser, 'Indefatigable-class' Battlecruiser and 'Lion-class' Battlecruiser, plus the 'Tiger' Battlecruiser, all rushed to the battlefield. This time the operation was still directed by David? Vice Admiral Beatty. He placed his flagship on the "Tiger" number Battlecruiser.

In addition, British Navy's four 'Iron Duke-class' Battleship also secretly left Scapa Flow, entered Atlantic Ocean, and rushed to the battlefield.

In this upcoming naval battle, British-German the navies of both sides have invested their main forces. Although it is not the entire main force, it is still very powerful. And this is probably a rehearsal before the final decisive battle between the navies of both sides.

Both of them are ambitious and want to inflict a heavy blow on the other party in this action. German Navy hopes to take the opportunity to severely damage British Navy and gain further advantage. British Navy, on the other hand, wants to eliminate Commerce Raiding Fleet of German Navy in one fell swoop and protect the maritime transportation lines they rely on for survival.
