"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Orange-red flames shone at the muzzle, and the shells roared towards the three German Navy ships, 'Blücher-class' and Battlecruiser. The cannonball hit the sea, exploded, and splashed water columns into the sky.
"Damn it, are Americans crazy? They dare to fire. Are they trying to provoke a war between the two countries?" Rear Admiral Lübeck was stunned. He always believed that Americans was just a bluff. If they were really asked to open fire, Americans would definitely not dare. However, now American fleet actually opened fire, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Americans is seeking death? Send Telegram to Fleet Headquarters immediately. We have been attacked by Americans. The war between us and Americans has already begun!" Rear Admiral Lübeck shouted loudly.
There was a hint of excitement in his roar. Originally, for the generals of German Navy, after the naval battle with the Britain people, the war was considered over. This made these generals feel a little regretful. They hope that the war can continue to gain more military exploits. In this case, after the war is over, they will be able to get more promotion opportunities. Now, Americans is involved in the war, which undoubtedly makes these generals get their wish!
Although, American Navy is not weak. But that's only relative to other countries. In front of the powerful German Navy, American Navy's strength is just that. They can take out American Navy at any time.
However, the staff officer's shout made Admiral Lübeck's dream shattered.
"General, those warships raised St. George's Cross? Those British Fleet!" the staff officer shouted loudly.
"What? British Fleet, how is that possible?" Rear Admiral Lübeck refused to believe it. He picked up the telescope and saw the rising St. George's Cross, and his face became very ugly.
"Conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy. Those battleships are clearly Americans's battleships, but now they are flying the naval flag of the Britain people. This is definitely a conspiracy by Americans and British to unite against the Empire!" Rear Admiral Lübeck said through gritted teeth.
"General, what should we do?"
"Fight back, fight back immediately! No matter whether we are facing Americans or Britain people, since they took the initiative to open fire, then the battle begins! Fight back immediately and sink all those warships! Send them all to the bottom of the sea!" Rear Admiral Lübeck roared.
Although, the British fleet on the opposite side has six Battleship, while they only have three Battlecruiser. However, Rear Admiral Lübeck is not afraid.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
German Navy's three ships, 'Blücher-class' and Battlecruiser, launched a counterattack. The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm Main Guns on each Battlecruiser fired fiercely at British fleet. Although four of the six warships of British fleet are equipped with 356mm Main Gun, and the other two are also equipped with 50 times the caliber 305mm Main Gun, German Navy is still unfazed.
"Boom!"
A shell exploded on the sea more than fifty meters to the left of the battleship Blücher, splashing a high water column. As the flagship of the squadron, the battleship 'Blücher' was besieged by the two most powerful British 'Nevada-class' battleships.
Although the ranging and sighting equipment on the Americans warship is not very good, the excellent personal qualities of the soldiers of British Navy make up for this very well. This makes them no worse than German Navy in terms of artillery accuracy. This puts German Navy, who is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, into crisis.
"General, the Britain people have six Battleships, and we only have three. We can't get the slightest advantage!" An officer was worried.
Rear Admiral Lübeck's expression was gloomy, and he felt more and more that this was clearly a trap.
"The appearance of those battleships and the caliber of the main guns look like Americans's 'Nevada-class', 'New York-class' and '' Wyoming-class'. But why do they have the guts to open fire on us now that they have the British Navy military flag?" Rear Admiral Lübeck is still struggling with this issue.
As a naval general, he undoubtedly has a deep understanding of the main battleships of various countries. German Navy's intelligence agency has conducted a large amount of intelligence collection on Capital Ships in various countries. So that our own naval generals can understand these Capital Ships, and once encountered in a naval battle, they can make accurate judgments and not be blinded.
"Yes, General. It is indeed 'Nevada-class', 'New York-class' and 'Wyoming-class' of Americans." said the staff officer.
"Damn Americans, they must have colluded with the Britain people. In other words, they transferred these battleships to the Britain people. Even the ones who control those battleships are Americans. They clearly want to attack Empire!" Rear Admiral Lübeck cursed.
German military's generals could easily guess Americans's sinister intentions.
"Report to the headquarters about our situation here, and also tell them that we need reinforcements!" Rear Admiral Lübeck ordered.
"Yes, General."
"In addition, increase the speed. Once the battle situation goes against us, we can retreat calmly!" Rear Admiral Lübeck then issued the order.
After all, 'Blücher-class' is Battlecruiser, and its maximum speed can reach more than 25 knots, which is more than 4 knots higher than the United States Battleship bought by Britain people. Once they decide to evacuate, it will be impossible for the Britain people to catch up. However, retreating as soon as they meet each other is not in line with German Navy's style. They naturally hope to continue fighting, and it is best to defeat more with less and sink all these British fleet warships in one fell swoop. In that case, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The warships on both sides started firing fiercely. All the main guns were roaring. The gunners were all firing desperately, hitting as many shells as possible at the opponent's warship.
On the 'Nevada' number Battleship, a smile appeared on Vice Admiral Martin's face. In his opinion, there are now six Battleships against three Battlecruisers of German Navys. This is undoubtedly an advantage. What's more, there are six other Battleships taking a detour to outflank German Navy. At this rate, the outflanking can be completed very quickly. By then, they will have an even greater advantage. Winning the final victory is undoubtedly a sure thing.
