"'Agincourt' was sunk so easily. How can we continue this battle?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty murmured to himself. Royal Navy originally had few warships, but now they have lost one, which will undoubtedly put them at a further disadvantage in the next battle.

"'Agincourt' Battleship was originally a deformed warship. It was originally designed like this in order to meet the requirements of those Brazil people. In order to install it on a hull with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, With so many turrets, its armor was extremely weakened, and the three main turrets on the stern were directly destroyed after being hit." John? Admiral Jellicoe said with an expressionless expression.

Although, the 'Agincourt' number Battleship was sunk, causing them heavy losses. However, it was as if he had expected such a moment. Originally, the 'Agincourt' and the Battleship were just foreign trade warships. If it was not a last resort, they would not let it serve in Royal Navy. It's just that Capital Ships suffered heavy losses and was forced to do nothing by the Germany people, so they put it on the shelves and used the 'Agincourt' number Battleship to recharge. As a result, once on the battlefield, the performance of the 'Agincourt' number Battleship was really rubbish, and it was easily sunk. As a result, British Navy lost not only one Capital Ships, but also hundreds of elite naval officers and soldiers.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 'HMS Agincourt' has been sunk, which will put us at a greater disadvantage on the battle line!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.

John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded, but there was nothing he could do about it!

"Let the ships continue to fight! Find a way to sink German warship as much as possible in the next battle. This is the only thing we can do." John? Admiral Jellicoe said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said helplessly.

On the other side, German Navy is already cheering for victory. Not long after the war started, a result was actually achieved. This is undoubtedly a great encouragement for German Navy.

"Very good, well done. All the officers and soldiers of the 'Regent Leopold' are doing a good job. I will ask Your Excellency for their credit!" Admiral Reinhard? Scheer smiled all over his face.

Although, he is full of confidence in this war. However, he was still somewhat nervous in his heart. It wasn't until this moment that he saw German Navy's warship sinking Britain's warship that he completely put his heart back in his stomach.

"Send Telegram to 'Regent Leopold' and ask them to cooperate with 'Helgoland' to kill Britain's 'Ireland' number Battleship." General Reinhard? Scheer ordered.

The reason why he took the 'Ireland' No. Battleship as the next target of attack was not because of anything else, but because the 'Ireland' No. Battleship was also a foreign trade warship. This Battleship was originally built by Britain for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. But because Royal Navy lost in the naval battle, he was detained by the Britain people and joined the battle order of Royal Navy.

Therefore, the 'Ireland' Battleship, like other foreign trade type Battleship, is equipped with as powerful firepower as possible based on a limited displacement, making the battleship's defense very poor. 'Ireland' No. Battleship is equipped with five twin-mounted 343mm Main Gun, and its full load displacement is only 25,000 tons. In terms of defense, the thickest part of the waterline armor is 305 mm, and the other turrets and command towers are only 280 mm. Such defense is undoubtedly too weak.

After the 'Regent Leopold' number Battleship joined the shooting of the 'Ireland' number Battleship, the Battleship was immediately caught in a pincer attack. The shells fired from the 'Regent Leopold' number Battleship and the 'Helgoland' number Battleship continued to explode water columns around the 'Ireland' number Battleship.

In this naval battle, the truly eye-catching battle was undoubtedly the adventurous action of the 'Sachsen' number Battleship. Just when the 'Regent Leopold' number Battleship killed the 'Agincourt' number, the 'Sachsen' number Battleship had successfully shortened the fighting distance to 10,000 meters. At this distance, it was almost as if the cannon was directly pressed against the belly of the 'Ramillies' number Battleship.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three-seater triple-mounted 380mm Main Gun on the 'Sachsen' number Battleship let out a thundering roar. Nine artillery shells, weighing more than one ton, hit the number Battleship 'Ramillies' hard.

This round of volleys did not hit. However, this does not prevent the 'Sachsen' number Battleship from sending firepower to the 'Ramillies' number Battleship at a rate of one salvo per minute.

Although, at this time, British Navy's 'Determination' number Battleship and 'Royal Sovereign' number Battleship were also firing at 'Sachsen' number Battleship, in an attempt to sink the 'Sachsen' number and save the 'Ramillies' number. However, they have never been able to succeed.

As for the counterattack of 'Ramillies' number Battleship, it was simply ignored. After the sighting equipment and ranging equipment were destroyed, the 'Ramillies' number Battleship could not hit the 'Sachsen' number Battleship even at a distance of 10,000 meters. Therefore, they have become the soy sauce characters from beginning to end.

The adventure of 'Sachsen' number Battleship finally paid off handsomely. After they narrowed the combat distance to 10,000 meters, the third salvo hit. A 380mm Shell hit the port side of the Battleship 'Ramillies' hard, blowing away two secondary guns and igniting a fire.

Immediately afterwards, the fifth round of volleys hit again. In this round of salvos, a 380mm Shell hit the bow of the Battleship ship of the 'Ramillies'. Moreover, a piece of shrapnel got stuck on the rotating device of the main turret of the Battleship 2 number 'Ramillies', causing it to lose its steering ability. In this case, it is equivalent to losing combat effectiveness.

Subsequently, Battleship number 'Sachsen' also scored a hit, and one 380mm Shell directly blew up the only chimney of number Battleship number 'Ramillies'. The collapsed chimney crushed the superstructure and also hit the No. 3 main turret at the stern of the ship, making it impossible for this main turret to continue firing.

Although the 'Ramillies' number Battleship has not been sunk yet, there is no doubt that it has been severely damaged. It seems that it is only a matter of time before it is sunk.
