The night has completely dimmed, and North Sea has become pitch black. Some burning warships illuminated a sea area. However, overall, North Sea has entered a dark night.
One by one, the German military ships turned on their searchlights and were searching back and forth to see if there were any survivors at sea. Regardless of whether the person who fell into the water was German Navy or British Navy at sea, they were rescued one by one. Although, everyone was an enemy before. But the battle is over. The obligations of the soldiers have been fulfilled. Next, it's time for humanitarian aid.
Of course, the Britain people, as losers, had long since escaped. They simply don't have that much leisure to rescue those poor people who have fallen into the water. Dozens of Capital Ships went to sea to fight German Navy, but in the end only four disabled warships escaped. Such a failure is also unacceptable to Royal Navy. Moreover, after this failure, Royal Navy can be considered finished.
German Navy won this battle at a very small cost. This also means that Germany has replaced Britain and become the new maritime overlord.
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm very sorry, but I still haven't been able to keep all the Capital Ships belonging to Britain people. The number 'Vengeance' is Battleship and the "Determination" number Battleship were severely damaged by us, but in the end they still used the cover of night to escape. "Vice Admiral Hipper was a little regretful.
"Admiral Hipper, you have done a great job. We have won this battle!" General Reinhard? Scheer said with a smile on his face.
Nothing can be 100% perfect. German Navy was able to win this decisive naval battle at a small cost, which already made him very satisfied.
In this naval battle, German Navy lost one Battleship, while three Battleship and one Battlecruiser were severely damaged. As for Light Cruiser and destroyers, 7 and 15 were sunk respectively. This kind of loss is not small. However, compared to the results they achieved, this was undoubtedly a bit insignificant.
British Navy In this naval battle, 22 Battleship and 5 Battlecruiser were sunk. In addition, three Battleship and 1 Battlecruiser were severely damaged. In terms of cruisers and destroyers, the losses were extremely heavy. It can be said that some of the most elite forces of Royal Navy have been eliminated by German Navy. Next, Royal Navy could only hide in the port and linger. Facing German Navy's attack, they had no choice at all.
"Your Excellency Commander, Britain people currently have 7 Battleship and 1 Battlecruiser left. Although, almost all of these warships have been severely damaged. However, With the shipbuilding capabilities of Britain people, these warships will be repaired soon. By then, this will still be a threat to us, "Mark Similian von Vice Admiral Spee said.
Admiral Reinhard? Scheer nodded. "But no matter what, we have killed the main battleships of the Britain people. The next few battleships, relatively It is much easier to deal with them. I believe that Imperial Navy can solve their Capital Ships team, and they can also solve the remaining battleships of Commerce Raiding Fleet from now on. resumes the blockade of Britain. No materials can flow into Britain. Without those materials, Britain people want to build new ones. It will be very difficult for the battleship. After the army has solved Anglo-French Allied Forces, the next step will be to land on British mainland. By then, the Britain people will be completely defeated."
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Vice Admiral Hipper and Vice Admiral Spee both nodded.
"Report the news of our victory to the country. The domestic Britain is waiting impatiently." General Reinhard? Scheer said.
Vice Admiral Hipper and Vice Admiral Spee both laughed. Germany The country was also very concerned about this naval battle, which was about whether Germany could replace Britain and become the dominant force on the sea. This is directly related to whether Germany can win this war. Germany has prepared carefully for so many years, and now he finally won the final victory.
Germany Berlin, inside the palace, German Emperor Wilhelm II, Crown Prince Oscar, Prime Minister Bernhardt? von? Bülow, Foreign Minister von Kidron Wachth, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord, Minister of War and Chief of Staff von Field Marshal Falkenhayn and others all gathered in the office of Wilhelm II.
Ever since the battle broke out, they had been anxiously waiting for the final result. Although Oscar and Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz have repeatedly assured that German Navy has the absolute upper hand in this battle, and the final victory must belong to them. However, everyone can't help but be a little worried. Although German Navy has great advantages, no one can guarantee whether there will be any unexpected factors in the naval battle. In that case, Germany's easy victory might slip away.
Therefore, no one dares to take it lightly before getting the final and accurate news.
From the morning until the afternoon, the sun went down, but there was still no news, which made everyone a little anxious. Although, they know that it is very normal for a large-scale naval battle to last for a day, and it may even last longer. However, it is understandable that everyone is a little anxious and uneasy.
Wilhelm II treated everyone to a simple meal and continued to wait for news. Servant has already served coffee. Obviously, without waiting for the final result, no one even thought about sleeping.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Marshal von Boll, Imperial Navy's chief of staff, rushed to the palace and reported the navy's emergency military situation to Wilhelm II.
"Did we win?" Wilhelm II looked at Marshal von Boll expectantly. At the same time, there was also some anxiety in my heart. He was also a little scared that he would hear bad news next. After all, the maritime hegemony of the Britain people is not so easy to challenge. Over the past hundreds of years, several countries have fallen on the road to compete with the Britain people for maritime hegemony. Although Germany is close to winning this time, Wilhelm II is still a little worried.
"Your Majesty, we won, we won. High Seas Fleet defeated Britain in this naval battle." Marshal von Boll said.
"Win? We won?" Wilhelm II was stunned for a moment, as if he was shocked by the good news.
The other people also cheered. Everyone knows very well what this victory means to Germany.
