"General, will the Germany people be fooled this time?" A staff officer asked David? Vice Admiral Beatty on the "Tiger" Battlecruiser.
"Germany people should be fooled! If they want to attack British Empire, they must prevent us from obtaining resources from colonies everywhere. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to defeat British Empire." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
Now, he has come out of the shadow of the sinking of the "Lion" Battlecruiser. Although, the loss of the "Lion" Battlecruiser is a stain for him. But David? Vice Admiral Beatty believes that with the British Empire's strong background, he will be able to use German warship to wash away this stain. He has always believed in this.
The 'Tiger' ship Battlecruiser underfoot is the strongest Battlecruiser of British Navy, although it generally continues the design ideas and plans of 'Lion-class' Battlecruiser. However, improvements have been made in many internal places, making the performance of the 'Tiger' Battlecruiser significantly improved compared to the 'Lion-class' Battlecruiser. It is precisely because of this that the 'Tiger' Battleship, which was originally the fourth ship of 'Lion-class' Battlecruiser, was specifically listed as a first-class ship by Royal Navy.
However, what David? Vice Admiral Beatty is a little worried about is that even the 'Tiger' ship Battlecruiser at his feet may not be the opponent of German Navy's 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser. In that battle, the number Battlecruiser, 'Moltke', was hit, but nothing happened. Its solid defense gave David? Vice Admiral Beatty a great shock. Although the performance of the "Tiger" Battlecruiser is very strong, defense is still its biggest weakness. In this regard, it cannot be compared with Battlecruiser of German Navy. Once the two sides fight, this may become the main weakness of the "Tiger" Battlecruiser.
However, there is nothing David? Vice Admiral Beatty can do about it. Who told British Navy's shipbuilding ideas to be like this? Emphasize firepower and speed and despise defense. Even if you now understand that despising defense will bring serious consequences, if you want to change it, it won't be something you can do in a short while.
"Hmph! The defense of the German battlecruisers is very strong, but so what? This time, we will definitely win. With the addition of the 'Iron Duke' class battleships and the 'King George V class' battleships, plus nine battlecruisers, we have assembled 17 battleships. The Germans' breakup fleet only has six battlecruisers. With three times the advantage, victory must belong to us!" Lieutenant General David Beatty thought secretly.
"Victory will definitely belong to the British Empire. It is simply delusional for Britain people to challenge British Empire." The staff officer also agreed.
Obviously, the last time the battlecruiser Lion was sunk, it was considered a great shame by these officers of the Royal Navy. They are always thinking about revenge against the Germans. This time is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for them.
"Let 'Invincible-class' Battlecruiser and 'Indefatigable-class' Battlecruiser disperse and keep a two-hour voyage with us. Be careful to stay hidden and not be Germany people have discovered it. In addition, let'Iron Duke-class'Battleship form and speed up." David? Vice Admiral Beatty ordered.
"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to give the order.
British Navy's troops this time are divided into five formations, large and small, namely three Battlecruiser Squadron and two Battleship formations. Except for the formation composed of four 'King George V-class' and Battleship, which accompanied the merchant ships, the rest of the formation was prepared to wait for the Commerce Raiding Fleet of German Navy to appear before conducting an ambush.
In order to deal with German Navy's Commerce Raiding Fleet, British Navy tried their best this time.
On the vast Atlantic Ocean, a huge fleet is sailing on the ocean. More than twenty large but slow merchant ships were in the middle of the formation. At the front of the formation are four huge Battleships that look like hills. In other directions, it is the light battleship British Navy.
This fleet is exactly the fleet sailing from Canada to British mainland. Providing escort for these merchant ships are the four 'King George V-class' Battleship of British Navy.
On the 'King George V' Battleship, a middle-aged naval admiral was holding a cigar and observing the sea ahead with a telescope.
"Have you found anything?" the general asked.
"General, nothing has been discovered so far. The Germany people seem to have disappeared." A staff officer said with a smile.
"Haha! I knew that Germany people are as timid as mice. They don't dare to attack us at all. 'King George V-class' Battleship is second only to 'Iron Duke-class If Z'Battleship's powerful Battleship and Germany's Battlecruiser dare to come, they will be blown to pieces." The general said with a contemptuous smile.
"General, Admiral Beatty came to Telegram and asked if we have found Germany people." A Communications Officer reported.
"Tell Admiral Beatty that the Germany people have not been found yet, and I estimate that we will not encounter the Germany people in the future. I'm afraid this plan will fail. Because the Germany people simply don't have the guts to deal with us." The general said with a smile.
"Yes, General." Communications Officer immediately went to call back.
This middle-aged general is named Carrol, Major General British Royal Navy. Although he is not young, he is still the main militant among Royal Navy. Of course, the pride of Royal Navy being the best in the world is unmatched by anyone.
However, what Rear Admiral Carroll didn't know was that less than half an hour after their fleet sailed past, a submarine floated debris from the sea. On the side of the submarine, painted with its hull number - U-48.
The submarine reported the speed, course and other relevant information of the Britain fleet to the German Naval Ministry through the wireless Telegram. Naval Ministry immediately reported the news to the fleet in Atlantic Ocean.
"Has the decoy of the Britain people finally appeared? Send Telegram to 1st Battlecruiser Squadron and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron. The decoy has appeared. Launch an attack immediately. Try to eliminate the four 'King George V-class' Battleship of the Britain people in the shortest possible time." Reinhard? Scheer Admiral issued the order.
Considering that the Britain people still have ambushes, it is best for the Battlecruiser detachment and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron to resolve the battle in the shortest time in the first battle. In this case, they will have enough strength to deal with the Britain people's ambush.
