On British Grand Fleet's flagship 'Vengeance' number Battleship, John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty were silent for a long time, both of them looking very ugly. After losing three ships 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship and three ships 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for British Navy. Including the previous losses, they only have 14 warships left that can continue to fight.
"Your Excellency Commander, how about we retreat immediately before the main force of Germany's people arrives." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
Now, it can be said that he has no confidence in winning at all.
Although, Royal Navy's remaining 14 Battleship include six 'Revenge-class' Battleship, one 'King George V' Battleship, and three 'Orion-class' Battleship, 'Agincourt' number Battleship, 'Ireland' number Battleship, 'Canada' number Battleship and 'HMS Hercules' number Battleship, are all considered main battleships. However, compared with the main battleships of German Navy, the gap is still too big.
Before the battle began, both John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty thought they could sink at least fifteen ships of German Navy and Capital Ships. But now, they only have 14 Battleships left, and they have to face twice as many German Navys, Capital Shipss, and Encirclement Offensives. Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to sink Capital Ships that could sink so many German Navy?
It can be said that from this moment on, their plan completely failed. Even if Royal Navy Grand Fleet fights until the entire army is annihilated, the damage caused to German Navy will be very limited.
Churchill's plan to severely damage German Navy by sacrificing Royal Navy Grand Fleet and create favorable opportunities for subsequent operations proved to be unworkable.
German Navy relied on their strong strength and advanced tactics to defeat Royal Navy at a very small cost. After German Navy wins this battle, they will become the well-deserved maritime overlord. It will be very difficult for other countries to challenge Germany's Hegemonic Status. Of course, countries may not have the courage at all.
As for the remaining huge Pre-dreadnought from Britain, if they are sent to the battlefield, they will undoubtedly be dead ends. In front of German Navy's new Battleship, those Pre-dreadnought, even though they were numerous in number, still ended up being sunk by them all.
However, retreating now may not be possible. John? Admiral Jellicoe thinks that since German Navy has planned this series of tactics, how can we let them escape again?
"Admiral Beatty, escaping is simply not possible. Don't forget, there are 12 Germany people and 12 Battlecruiser ships not far from us, watching eagerly. Even with our current strength, we may not even be able to defeat those 12 Battlecruisers," John? Admiral Jellicoe said in frustration.
Indeed, among the 12 Battlecruisers of German Navy, six are equipped with 380mm Main Gun, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than their 'Revenge-class'. The other six ships are also cutting-edge warships. Royal Navy Although there are 14 Battleships, it is almost impossible to steadily defeat Battlecruiser Squadron of German Navy.
David? Vice Admiral Beatty was immediately speechless. He had to admit that if Battlecruiser Squadron of German Navy launched an attack, they might not be able to win with 14 Battleship. After all, German Navy and Capital Ships are too powerful. Whether it is Battlecruiser or Battleship, the performance is very powerful. This should be very clear to Royal Navy, who has suffered heavy losses under the attack of German Navy.
"Your Excellency Commander, we still have so many cruisers and destroyers. Lightning strikes alone are enough to break through the interception of Germany people." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
Admiral John Jellicoe still shook his head. "I know you don't want to see the elite of the Royal Navy buried here. But now we can't escape. Don't forget, the German main fleet has not yet appeared. We have been discovered by them for such a long time. It is impossible that the German main fleet has not arrived yet. If I If there is no guessing, the German main fleet, the British, has circled to our north. Therefore, our retreat has been blocked. If we want to break out from other places, the German battlecruiser formation will definitely entangle us. By then, we will be attacked by the Germans from both sides and will be completely defeated by them."
David? Vice Admiral Beatty nodded reluctantly. He knew what John? Admiral Jellicoe said was right. Now they should have fallen into the trap of Germany people. Germany people carefully planned this decisive battle. Start with the dispatch battle Naval Gun to attack Edinburgh, forcing the main force of Royal Navy to go to sea for a decisive battle, and then target their Battlecruiser unit, and then dispatch aircraft to weaken the strength of the Royal Navy Capital Ships unit. Finally, it was time for all Capital Ships team of German Navy to dispatch and eliminate all Capital Ships team of Royal Navy in one fell swoop.
Now, German Navy has completed the previous steps, leaving only the last step to encircle and destroy the remaining battleships of British Navy's Capital Ships team. How could German Navy give up this step and let them run away? This is simply impossible.
"Now, we can only continue to fight. I hope that God can protect us and sink as many German warship as possible! This is the only thing we can do for the British Empire." John? Admiral Jellicoe said.
David? Vice Admiral Beatty Sadly discovered that they really seemed to have only this option.
John? Admiral Jellicoe There is no guess. The main force of High Seas Fleet led by General Reinhard? Scheer has already circled to the north of the British Navy Capital Ships team. If British Navy Kitakami, you will encounter them. By then, German Navy will undoubtedly be able to wait for work, defeat British Navy in one fell swoop, and destroy all their remaining warships.
However, no matter how John? Admiral Jellicoe chooses. Now the Royal Navy Capital Ships team seems to have no other choice. Facing Germany, who had already gained an absolute advantage over German Navy, their fate in this naval battle seemed to have been decided, that is, they would be defeated or even annihilated. Except for the 'Tiger' number Battlecruiser and the 'Queen Elizabeth' number Battleship that had previously withdrawn from the battlefield, the rest of the warships may not be able to escape.
