On the vast Atlantic Ocean, a huge fleet is sailing eastward. There are more than 80 large and small warships in total, including 12 Battleship, 5 Armored Cruiser, 20 Light Cruiser and 50 destroyers.
Although, this fleet all flies the United States flag. However, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, they are all Britain people. This fleet is exactly the fleet that Britain secretly purchased from United States.
'Nevada' number Battleship is the flagship of this fleet and is at the center of the entire fleet. Other battleships are scattered around.
Vice Admiral Martin stood on the front deck of the 'Nevada' number Battleship, feeling a little uncomfortable in the sea breeze.
From Vice Admiral Martin's professional perspective, the performance of Americans's battleship is indeed not very good. Although the firepower is not weak, the armor is also thick. But the speed is too slow. Such a battleship is undoubtedly a typical Battleship designed for battle line decisive battles.
The battleship design ideas of American Navy are different from British Royal Navy, but the same as German Navy. However, due to the technical gap, their warships are still inferior to those of German Navy. When getting familiar with the United States battleship, Vice Admiral Martin discovered these problems. However, now Britain is no longer qualified to be picky. Being able to buy so many battleships from Americans is already a blessing from God. Otherwise, no country in the world can sell them so many warships.
"Damn Americans, these warships are not very good in performance, but they are sold at sky-high prices. It's like a lion's mouth!" Vice Admiral Martin cursed bitterly. Indeed, even British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship only costs two million Pounds Sterling. However, the price of these warships sold by United States to Britain is as high as 50 million US dollars. This price is already five times that of 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship.
"When we defeat the Germany people, we must make Americans pay the price for their greed!" Vice Admiral Martin thought secretly. This time Americans was brutally stabbed, which made Royal Navy's generals very dissatisfied. If possible, they naturally hope to make Americans pay the price for this one day. Of course, the prerequisite is that they must defeat German Navy in the next naval battle. Otherwise, British Royal Navy will cease to exist, let alone find trouble with Americans.
"General, Telegram from the headquarters!" a Communications Officer reported.
Vice Admiral Martin took Telegram and looked at it carefully. This letter from Telegram is a combat plan sent by Fleet Headquarters. Vice Admiral Martin is required to lead the fleet to the sea area about two hundred kilometers west of Ireland, launch an attack on German Navy's Commerce Raiding Fleet, and attract the other fleets of German Navy. The main force of Combined Fleet will arrive later to cooperate with them Encirclement Offensive German Navy.
"Call back Fleet Headquarters and we will implement it according to the plan!" Vice Admiral Martin said.
"Yes, general." Communications Officer immediately went to send Telegram.
"May God protect us, and hope that we can defeat the Germany people this time!" Vice Admiral Martin secretly prayed to God.
For them, this is the last chance. If you fail to defeat German Navy this time, then you will never have such an opportunity again. Royal Navy will never have the chance to return to maritime dominance. Even British Empire will be destroyed because of this. It can be seen how important this decisive battle is to the British Empire.
British fleet continued to secretly move towards Eastern Atlantic. Because the flag of United States was flying, they did not have to worry about being discovered by German Navy. Even if he was discovered by German Navy, it would be nothing. United States is a neutral country, and German Navy has no right to board these warships for inspection. Naturally, it will not be discovered that the people driving these United States* warships are Britain people.
Vice Admiral Martin hopes to lead the fleet close to German Navy, and then suddenly attack. In this case, maybe German Navy can be caught off guard. And their possibility of winning will also be greatly increased.
After all, German Navy is too powerful. In the previous naval battles, Royal Navy had experienced their strength several times. Although Royal Navy has a profound foundation, the quality of its officers and soldiers is world-class. However, during the naval battle, he was pinned to the ground and beaten wildly by German Navy, a rising star.
Therefore, if British Navy wants to win the decisive battle, he will have to adopt some unconventional tactics. Using the disguise of American fleet, secretly approaching German fleet and then launching a surprise attack has become an excellent tactic.
The fleet led by Vice Admiral Martin suddenly became the key force for Royal Navy to reverse the situation and defeat German Navy.
May 16, Ireland western waters. German Navy's three ships 'Blücher-class' and Battlecruiser are cruising in this area. Their mission is to strengthen the blockade of Britain, ensure that no ship from any country can reach Britain, and deliver various urgently needed supplies to the Britain people.
On the 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser, Major General German Navy Lubeck was drinking coffee leisurely. For German Navy raiding fleet, the current task is undoubtedly very easy. British Navy's main force has been wiped out by them, and the remaining warships can only hide in the military port and lick their wounds. The entire ocean is already under the control of German Navy.
"The weather is really good today. It would be even better if we could encounter a few warships from Britain and sink them!" Rear Admiral Lübeck put down his coffee and said with a smile.
"General, we haven't encountered a Britain warship for three days." A staff officer said.
"Yes! It's been three whole days. This kind of mission is really boring. It's hard to imagine why the Britain people still refuse to surrender at this point? Even if they persist, there is absolutely no chance of winning." Rear Admiral Lübeck said.
"General, maybe the Britain people think they still have a chance of winning!"
"Hmph! That is absolutely impossible. Even if God appears, it will not be possible to help the Britain people win this war!" Rear Admiral Lübeck said confidently.
"Report to the general, a fleet has been discovered at West!" the staff officer reported.
"Fleet? Order all ships to be on alert." Rear Admiral Lübeck ordered.
