German Navy Aircraft Carrier Formation's flagship aircraft carrier 'Vanguard', formation Commander Heinrich Marshal Prince, is waiting for the fleet to return. Although, in the previous training, Carrier-based Aircraft Unit performed very well. However, before he really succeeded, he was a little worried. After all, this is actual combat, not previous drills and training.

However, German Navy Carrier Fleet's appearance this time can be described as perfect. The 24 fighter jets and 72 Torpedo Bombers that took off from the two aircraft carriers directly sank six British Navys and six Battleships, without losing any of them. Because British fleet has no weapons capable of shooting in the air, these Carrier-based aircraft can leave in a swagger after launching an attack.

An hour later, the first batch of Carrier-based aircrafts that took off returned one after another. At the same time, Heinrich Marshal Prince also learned about the battle. After knowing that they had sunk British Navy's 'Bellerophon' number Battleship, and also severely damaged the 'Magnificent' number and 'Reckless' number Battleship, Heinrich Marshal Prince's heart, which had been hanging, finally returned to his stomach. The first batch of Carrier-based aircraft to take off were divided equally between fighter jets and Torpedo Bomber. The second batch of Carrier-based aircrafts taking off were all Torpedo Bombers. You don't need to think about it to know that the second batch of Carrier-based aircraft will definitely achieve greater results.

Sure enough, when the second batch of Carrier-based aircraft had not returned, Heinrich Marshal Prince learned of their victory. Not only were the 'Magnificent' Battleship and the 'Reckless' Battleship sunk, but also the three 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship were sunk. This is undoubtedly a perfect victory for Carrier Fleet.

On German High Seas Fleet's flagship 'Bavaria' number Battleship, the face of General Reinhard? Scheer was full of smiles.

"The Crown Prince is right. The combination of aircraft carriers and Carrier-based aircraft will indeed be the absolute main force in future naval battles! Now the Carrier-based aircraft, which can only carry Light Aerial Torpedo, can play such a big role. In the future, the Carrier-based aircraft that can carry the medium-sized Torpedo and Heavy Torpedo will be developed. Once it is produced, won't the power of Carrier-based aircraft be further improved? Fortunately, Imperial Navy has once again reached the forefront of the world. Before they thought of this, we already have the most mature and powerful Aircraft Carrier Formation in the world," sighed the Reinhard? Scheer general.

As Commander of High Seas Fleet, General Reinhard? Scheer admires Oscar's forward-looking vision very much. German Navy became extremely powerful because of Oscar. Otherwise, they would never have had the opportunity to defeat British Royal Navy. Not to mention, Oscar has also planned the future development path of German Navy, which will make it easier for German Navy to consolidate maritime hegemony in the future.

Once German Navy has the larger Carrier Fleet and the more advanced Carrier-based aircraft, will other countries still have the opportunity to challenge German Empire's maritime hegemony? That's obviously impossible.

Although, German Navy now only has two aircraft carriers. However, the next batch of four new aircraft carriers are already under construction. The new aircraft carrier will have a larger displacement, can carry more fighters, and will naturally have a more powerful attack power.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Highness asked, is it necessary for the aircraft carrier to launch a second strike?" the staff officer reported to Admiral Reinhard? Scheer.

"Tell Your Highness, no need for the time being. Britain people don't have many Capital Ships left. What's more, except for the 'HMS Hercules' Battleship, the rest of the battleships are super-Dreadnought, Carrier-based aircraft's Light Aerial Torpedo, will hardly pose any threat to it. The next battle will be left to us," said General Reinhard? Scheer.

"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to send Telegram.

Reinhard? Scheer Admiral has another meaning in mind, that is, if all the British Navy battleships are sunk by the aircraft carrier's Carrier-based aircraft, then they will not get any results from the more than twenty Battleship? They went to sea with such great fanfare to have a decisive battle with British Navy, but in the end they just went to sea to have fun. In that case, it would be too embarrassing, right?

"Order Battlecruiser Squadron to continue to monitor the Britain people. The Capital Ships team immediately goes south to prepare for a decisive battle with the Britain people. Now, the Britain people have only 14 Battleship ships left. The final victory must belong to us!" Admiral Reinhard? Scheer is full of confidence in this.

British Navy Among the remaining 14 Battleship, including 6 'Revenge-class' Battleship, three 'Orion-class' Battleship, plus 'King George V' Battleship, 'Agincourt' number Battleship, 'Ireland' number Battleship, 'Canada' number Battleship and 'HMS Hercules' number Battleship. Although the strength is not weak, it is undoubtedly much inferior to the main force of German High Seas Fleet.

Among the 24 Battleships of High Seas Fleet, five 'Bavaria-class' Battleship and five 'Kaiser class' Battleship are equipped with 380mm Main Gun, and five 'Kaiser-class'Battleship and five 'Helgoland-class' Battleship are equipped with 343mm Main Gun, and four 'Nassau-class' Battleship are equipped with 305mm Main Gun.

Compared with German High Seas Fleet Britain Royal Navy Grand Fleet, Battleship has an absolute advantage not only in terms of quantity. In terms of single ship performance, it also has an overwhelming advantage. Although Royal Navy still has a numerical advantage in small and medium-sized warships. However, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to defeat the powerful High Seas Fleet with just those battleships. Therefore, Reinhard? Scheer can confidently believe that they will win the next battle.

Under the orders of General Reinhard? Scheer, High Seas Fleet's Capital Ships team began to move south quickly. The officers and soldiers of German Navy are all in high spirits. They seem to be ready for a glorious victory, a glorious victory that will send German Navy to Shanghai as the hegemon of the sea.

On the other side, British Grand Fleet Commander John? Admiral Jellicoe is also waiting for this final battle. Although he knew that it was impossible to defeat German Navy with the remaining warships of Royal Navy. However, he hopes to fight German Navy to the death, causing both sides to lose!

At 12 noon, the main force of German High Seas Fleet appeared on the battlefield.
