"Your Excellency Commander, the 'Bellerophon' number Battleship is sinking, and General Davidson is requesting to abandon the ship." Communications Officer reported to John? Admiral Jellicoe.
John? Admiral Jellicoe's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Before, he had a dream of sinking about 20 German Navy and Capital Ships in the decisive battle. However, before the decisive battle with German Navy, they were attacked by German Navy, Carrier-based aircraft, and Encirclement Offensive, and once again lost one Capital Ships. What's even worse is that the attacks of German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft are not over yet! Who knows how many Capital Ships they will lose in the next battle.
"Allow them to abandon the ship!" John? Admiral Jellicoe said through gritted teeth.
Since the 'Bellerophon' number Battleship can no longer be saved, it is destined to sink. Under such circumstances, John? Admiral Jellicoe naturally cannot refuse their request to abandon the ship. After all, he wanted the officers and soldiers of Royal Navy to fight to the death, but this did not mean that he could deliberately murder them. In that case, even after the battle is over, he will be court-martialed. Unless, of course, he died in a naval battle.
After receiving the order to abandon the ship, the Royal Navy officers and soldiers on the 'Bellerophon' Battleship scrambled for the opportunity to board the lifeboat. However, there are only so many lifeboats, and it is almost impossible to get everyone on board. Therefore, of the more than 700 naval officers and soldiers on the 'Bellerophon' Battleship, only less than 200 escaped in the end, and the rest sank into the sea along with the battleship.
Compared with the 'Bellerophon' number Battleship, the 'Magnificent' and 'Reckless' numbers have slightly better luck. Although they also took a few hits from Torpedo, they were not fatal. However, it also suffered heavy damage due to excessive water intrusion.
When German Navy and Carrier-based aircraft all dropped their bombs and left in a swaggering manner, Britain Royal Navy Grand Fleet on the sea was already deeply shocked. In one attack by German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit, they lost one Battleship, and two other Battleship suffered heavy damage. This undoubtedly cast a shadow on their hearts once again during this naval battle.
"Your Excellency Commander, I have to admit that the Germany people are already far ahead of us. While we are still thinking about how to build warships with stronger firepower and stronger defense to catch up with the Germany people, they have completed a gorgeous transformation and actually used aircraft It was used in naval battles and achieved extremely good results. It seems that Royal Navy has been carrying it after it has dominated the world for hundreds of years. This is why the Germany people have surpassed us. We were not unjustly defeated in this battle!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty sighed.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, it was the fact. The Germany people once again walked in front of Britain, and actually began to use aircraft to attack surface warships. This is something British Navy never thought of.
This also puts them in a more disadvantageous position in this war. If you want to win this war, it will undoubtedly be more difficult.
"This method of using aircraft to attack a surface fleet is indeed unheard of. The Germany people actually came up with such a combat method, which is really admirable. If British Empire can make a breakthrough in this regard, it may be possible for us to turn defeat into victory." John? Admiral Jellicoe said. Even at this time, he has not given up on defeating the Germany people.
"Your Excellency Commander, this is difficult. We simply don't know how the planes of the Germany people are able to fly such a long distance, or in other words, they take off at sea. We want to find out these things., it will undoubtedly take a long time to research it and form combat effectiveness. And Germany people will never give us that much time," David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
As soon as he said this, John? Admiral Jellicoe's eyes couldn't help but dim. Indeed, Germany has a huge advantage in this regard. If Britain wants to catch up, it will undoubtedly have to start from scratch. What's more, Germany already has an absolute advantage in this war. Therefore, they will never give Britain another chance to catch up with them.
"Your Excellency Commander, German aircraft flew away, and we suffered a lot. However, German aircraft seems to be only able to carry light Torpedo, so they can only attack 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship launches an attack. This is already a blessing among misfortunes. If German aircraft can launch an attack on our super-Dreadnought, it will be truly fatal." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
"Yes, God bless British Empire. Britain's aircraft cannot pose a threat to our main battleship!" John? Admiral Jellicoe said.
When the Britain people were thankful that German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft attack was over, they didn't know that the second batch of 48 Carrier-based aircrafts were on their way. Moreover, these 48 Carrier-based aircraft are all Torpedo Bomber carrying Torpedo. For surface warships, the threat of Torpedo Bomber is undoubtedly much greater than that of fighter jets.
The aviation machine guns of fighter jets can only cause some damage to the personnel on the battleship at most, but cannot pose a threat to the ship structure. However, the Torpedo carried by Torpedo Bomber can pose a fatal threat to surface warships. Even Light Aerial Torpedo is still fatal.
Once German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft can carry medium or even heavy aviation Torpedo, it will be a real maritime killer and will become a fatal threat to surface warships. However, due to technical reasons, German Navy was not able to succeed in this regard.
"General, plane, German aircraft is here again." A British officer shouted loudly.
John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty immediately rushed to the window, picked up the telescope and looked at the sky the East.
They saw dozens of planes flying towards them, and the Torpedo hanging under the belly of the plane shone with an icy edge.
"Damn! There are at least forty or fifty planes here. Where did these Germany planes take off from?" John? Admiral Jellicoe couldn't help but curse, and a trace of Panic flashed in his eyes.
The previous German Navy aircraft had caused them to lose one Battleship, and two more Battleships were sunk. Now, dozens more planes have appeared, won't they have to pay even greater losses?
