'Normandy' number Battleship, the flagship of French Navy.

Admiral Lame was in the command tower, pacing back and forth anxiously. Although the rumble of artillery echoed in his ears, it did not reassure him. Although they had five Battleship Encirclement Offensive German Navy and two Battleship, French Navy had no chance of winning at all.

"Damn it! Why is this happening? Our five Battleships fought against two Germanys, but we still haven't been able to score a hit! If this continues, what can we do?" Admiral Lame said angrily.

The other French Navy officers on the bridge said nothing. They all knew that Admiral Lame was angry, and they didn't dare to touch his brow. It would be bad if Admiral Lame's anger was triggered.

Although French Navy has an absolute advantage in terms of quantity, it has no advantage at all in other aspects. In terms of the performance of battleships, French has long had no ambition to vigorously develop the navy. How can they build the advanced Battleship? In terms of battleship performance, it lags behind the battleships of the two countries British-German. The quality of naval officers and soldiers is also not comparable to that of the navies of the two countries British-German. That's why the current situation is caused.

"General, Telegram of Admiral Jellicoe, he hopes that we can sink the two Battleships of Germany people as soon as possible." A Communications Officer reported.

"Asshole! Of course I also want to sink Germany's Battleship. But if I can't do it now, what can I do?" Admiral Lame roared angrily.

The officer immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.

"Send Telegram to each ship and tell them that we are running out of time and must sink German warship as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will lose. By then, we will be like this Just like the Battleships that were sunk by the Germany people, they all sank to the bottom of the sea! If you want to survive, you have to do your best!" Admiral Lame ordered.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the number 'Normandy' Battleship shook violently. Admiral Lame lost his footing and suddenly fell to the deck, making him lose his shit.

"Damn, we were hit. Report the damage!" Admiral Lame shouted at the top of his lungs. At the same time, I secretly prayed to God in my heart, praying that the injury would not be too serious. Otherwise, there would be no way to continue this battle.

"Report to the general, the bow deck was hit, the armor was penetrated, and two cabins on the second floor were blown up, causing a fire!" The officer quickly understood the problem.

Admiral Lame couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "Order damage control, carry out loss control immediately!"

"Yes, General!"

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded on German military's 'King Albert' number Battleship, and the command tower was enveloped in flames.

"God! We hit the command tower of the Germany people!" Admiral Lame cheered.

Although this shell was not fired from the Battleship 'Normandy', as long as it can severely damage the warship German military, that is a good thing. For French Navy, it is a rare victory.

This shell was fired from French Navy's 'Gascony' number Battleship. They were very lucky, and the first hit hit the command tower of 'King Albert' number Battleship. But it is a pity that the 340mm main gun of French Navy seems to be a bit difficult to face the 350mm armor of Battleship of 'King Albert'. The shell exploded before it could penetrate the armor. The huge impact caused the officers in the command tower to fall to the ground. My head also feels dizzy. However, it was unable to cause them further harm.

When the smoke cleared and German military's warship was still intact, Admiral Lame was immediately dumbfounded.

"****! What's going on? There is no way to penetrate the armor of Germany's command tower. How is this possible? How thick is the armor of their command tower!" Admiral Lame was about to cry.

'King Albert' No. Battleship, the combat effectiveness was not affected by this hit. Instead, he became more and more courageous as he fought, and in less than five minutes, he once again scored a hit.

A 343mm Shell hit the No. 4 main battery turret on the stern of the Battleship of the 'Normandy'. The 340 mm thick armor cannot withstand shells fired by the 50 times caliber 343mm Main Gun. The power of the capped Armor-piercing Shell was fully demonstrated at this moment. The shell penetrated the turret's armor and exploded inside. The huge power destroyed the entire turret. Either way, there were still hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder in the turret that had just been extracted, and the explosion occurred because of this. The entire stern of the ship burned in the explosion. The frightened French captain immediately ordered the ammunition depot under the main turret to be filled with water, for fear of causing an explosion in the ammunition depot. In that case, 'Normandy' number Battleship will be completely finished.

Even so, the firepower of the 'Normandy' number Battleship, which had lost a main turret, was also greatly reduced. At the same time, the morale of the naval officers and soldiers on the battleship was also greatly affected.

"Damn it, send Telegram to 'Gascony' number Battleship and 'Flanders' number Battleship and ask them what happened? They fired at the enemy ships without interference, but why is the hit rate so low?" Admiral Lame was very dissatisfied.

While the 'Normandy' number Battleship attracted the firepower of the 'King Albert' number Battleship, no warships opened fire on the 'Gascony' and 'Flanders' numbers. Under such circumstances, it should be easier for them to hit the target. But now, their performance cannot satisfy Admiral Lame at all.

Admiral Lame's question did not play any good role in promoting the development of the battle situation. On the contrary, it made their situation worse and worse.

French Navy's 'Bretagne' number Battleship and 'Courbet' number Battleship had multiple hits in a row. However, it is undoubtedly impossible for the 340mm main gun and 305mm Main Gun they fired to penetrate the thick armor of the 'Regent Leopold' Battleship. However, the counterattack of 'Louis Teppold' Battleship was unbearable by the French army Battleship.

"Boom!"

A 343mm Shell hit the No. 2 chimney of the French army's 'Bretagne' Battleship. The shell directly broke the chimney, and the falling chimney hit the No. 3 main turret located between the two chimneys, destroying it. At the same time, the explosion also ignited a fire, causing the superstructure of the 'Bretagne' No. Battleship to begin to burn.
