"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
German Navy's 'Bavaria' number Battleship was the first to open fire. Three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm Main Gun hit the Battleship, the flagship of Combined Fleet, 'Vengeance', with shells weighing one ton.
The other German military battleships also opened fire immediately.
For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbled on the sea, and one shell after another, under the influence of huge kinetic energy, hit the enemy warship. The shell fell into the sea and splashed up huge water jets. The water splashed down and made a crackling sound, as if the entire sea surface was boiling.
On another battlefield, 2nd Battle Line of German Navy and 2nd Battle Line of Combined Fleet also started fighting. The 11 Battleships of German Navy are against the 11 Battleships purchased by Britain people from United States. The Battleship of the 'Arkansas' was sunk by the Carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, so there are only 11 ships left.
Although, the quantity is the same on both sides. However, judging from the performance of the battleship, German Navy undoubtedly has the advantage. British Navy's two 'Nevada-class' Battleship and two 'New York-class' Battleship are equipped with 356mm Main Gun, and the rest of the warships are equipped with 305mm Main Gun. The three 'Kaiser-class' Battleship of German Navy and the four 'Helgoland-class' Battleship are all equipped with 343mm Main Gun. There are only four 'Nassau-class' Battleship equipped with 305mm Main Gun. The 50 times caliber 343mm Main Gun of German Navy is not weaker than the 45 times caliber 356mm Main Gun of American Navy in terms of power, and even has stronger armor-piercing ability.
Among the remaining British Navy and Battleship, except for the 'Wyoming-class' Battleship, which is equipped with a 50-fold caliber 305mm Main Gun, the rest are equipped with a 45-fold caliber 305mm Main Gun. The four ships of German Navy, 'Nassau-class' and Battleship, are all equipped with 50 times the caliber 305mm Main Gun.
In terms of defense, the defense of 'Nevada-class' Battleship is indeed very strong. But the defenses of German Navy and Battleship are not weak either. However, except for 'Nevada-class' Battleship, the defense of the other Battleship is not very good.
Therefore, considering all aspects of performance, the performance of German Navy is undoubtedly better. It also has a greater advantage in naval battles.
Of course, this does not mean that German Navy will definitely win this naval battle. After all, there are too many factors that determine the outcome of a naval battle. Occupying performance is just one of them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At a distance of 13,000 meters, Battleship from both sides opened fire fiercely. One after another, the shells roared and hit the opponent's warship. The sound of the cannon rumbled like thunder.
German Navy and Battlecruiser Squadron are still taking a detour. 11 Battlecruiser formed a long battle line. Their speed has increased to 25 knots.
"General, the Capital Ships team has started fighting with the Britain people. Your Excellency Commander ordered us to cooperate with 2nd Battle Line and give priority to the Battleship that the Britain people bought from United States!" the staff officer reported.
Vice Admiral Spee nodded. "The Britain people actually didn't escape and dared to fight us. Obviously, they thought they could defeat our main force before we arrived. I really don't know where John? Admiral Jellicoe got the confidence."
"How long until we reach the battlefield?" Vice Admiral Spee asked.
"General, at the current speed, it is expected that in about an hour, we will be able to appear right in front of 2nd Battle Line of Britain. If we grasp the timing well, we can even grab Crossing the T." The officer said.
"Very good, let's do it! After an hour, cooperate with Admiral Hipper to get rid of those United States battleships. Then rush to cooperate with His Excellency Commander to kill the Britain people, The remaining warships of French and Italy must be destroyed. In this battle, Britain must not let another Capital Ships go, and they must all be sunk!" Vice Admiral Spee said.
If they can sink all Combined Fleet and all Capital Ships in this battle, then they will solve all the problems once and for all. German Navy will truly dominate the world. Even if all the navies of other countries in the world are combined, they will not be German Navy's opponent. German Navy will be far more powerful than when Royal Navy of the British Empire dominated the world.
Of course, Vice Admiral Spee is very confident about winning this naval battle. German Navy not only has an absolute advantage in quantity over Capital Ships. In terms of battleship performance, German Navy is also dominant over Capital Ships. What's more, German Navy also has aircraft carriers to assist in the battle. It won't be long before Carrier-based aircraft can continue to attack. At that time, it will be enough for Combined Fleet to pay a greater price again.
From Vice Admiral Spee's point of view, Combined Fleet's action was simply to commit suicide. For the slightest hope of victory, they sent so many naval officers and soldiers to die. It was really a stupid act.
The battle reached a climax almost from the beginning. Both sides were unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity and wanted to win. Therefore, they are all trying their best to defeat the enemy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Around the number 'King Albert' number Battleship, high water jets continued to splash. French Navy's three 'Normandy-class' Battleship were firing fiercely at it. 'Normandy-class' Battleship is equipped with four triple-mounted 45 times caliber 340mm main guns, although its performance is far inferior to 50-caliber 343mm Main Gun of German Navy. But the advantage lies in the large number of main guns. The three 'Normandy-class' and 'Battleship' ships have 36 340mm main guns. It is four times as powerful as the main gun of the Battleship number 'King Albert'.
As for the number 'Regent Leopold', Battleship, the pressure is relatively much smaller. The 'Bretagne' number Battleship is equipped with a 5-seater double-mounted 45 times caliber 305mm Main Gun. Although the Battleship number 'Courbet' has six 45 times caliber 305mm Main Gun, only five main guns can fire to the same side. 305mm Main Gun with 45 times the caliber of French Navy, it is difficult to tear through the armor of Battleship number 'Regent Leopold', but 'Regent Leopold 50-caliber 343mm Main Gun with the number ', Battleship, can easily tear through the Battleship's armor of French Navy.
Of course, due to being in Encirclement Offensive, the number 'King Albert' Battleship and the number 'Regent Leopold' Battleship are in danger. But in fact, they can also inflict fatal blows to the enemy.
