"Sir Commander, the speed of our Battleship is too slow. 'Revenge-class' Battleship's maximum speed is only a little over 23 knots. In this case, there is no way to escape the pursuit of Germany people. Please Commander sir, get out' "Tiger" Battlecruiser. Although "Tiger" Battlecruiser suffered some injuries during the battle, the speed of the battleship was not affected in any way. Only by riding on "Tiger" Battlecruiser can we escape." David? Vice Admiral Beatty advised.
The speed of the 'Tiger' Battlecruiser is as high as 27.5 knots. This speed is no slower than a cruiser. At the same time, the powerful firepower also ensures its own safety. If you take the "Tiger" number Battlecruiser, the possibility of escaping the pursuit of German Navy is undoubtedly much greater.
John? Admiral Jellicoe shook his head. "Admiral Beatty, we lost this battle. Someone must be responsible for this. I will stay and command the fleet to continue fighting. Go to the Tiger Battlecruiser and report the battle to Prime Minister and Naval Minister!"
"Your Excellency Commander, this failure is not due to us, but because the enemy is too powerful. This is not your responsibility, and you do not need to take all the responsibility on yourself. I believe that Prime Minister and Mr. Churchill will also understand." David? Vice Admiral Beatty persuaded.
However, John? Admiral Jellicoe still shook his head. He has made up his mind to take responsibility for the failure of this naval battle. In other words, he wanted to die for the defeat of Royal Navy. Therefore, he plans to fight to the end. In addition, he did not want to return to Britain to see Britain admit defeat and surrender to Germany, or the entire British Isles fall into the flames of war.
David? Vice Admiral Beatty Seeing that he could not convince John? Admiral Jellicoe, he had no choice but to stop wasting his efforts. Compared to John? Admiral Jellicoe, David? Vice Admiral Beatty values his own life more. Therefore, he chose to take a transport boat aboard the Tiger number Battlecruiser. The 'Tiger' Battlecruiser began to increase its speed, increased the speed to 25 knots, and quickly headed towards British mainland. Of course, whether you can return to British mainland safely may depend on the will of God.
British Navy The remaining warships desperately wanted to escape. German Navy, on the other hand, pursued them and wanted to keep all of these British Navy warships.
Because all German Navy warships use a combination of oil-fired boiler racks Steam Turbine, German Navy warships generally have an advantage in speed. 2nd Battle Line led by Vice Admiral Hipper and Battlecruiser Squadron led by Vice Admiral Spee are still working together to kill the remaining eight United States Battleship led by Vice Admiral Martin. After all these United States Battleship are dealt with, they will start the pursuit. After all, you have to deal with the trapped enemies at all times, and then attack other enemies. Only in this way can you be safe.
Admiral Reinhard? Scheer led 1st Battle Line to pursue British Navy's remaining six Capital Ships. As for the French and Italy people who escaped first, no one paid attention to them for the time being. In this naval battle, the weakness of French and Italy was also clearly demonstrated. Even if French's four Battleships and Italy's two Battleships escape, they will not pose any threat to German Navy. Anyway, this naval battle failed, and French and Italy no longer have any illusions about war. This will undoubtedly make them make their final decision. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of France and Italy surrendering will be very high.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One after another, the shells exploded around the "New York" Battleship, splashing water columns on the sea surface, just like whales spitting water.
German Navy's three 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser are being launched Encirclement Offensive on them. Among the remaining United States battleships on the battlefield, only 'New York-class' Battleship is equipped with 356mm Main Gun, and the others are equipped with 305mm Main Gun. Therefore, these two ships 'New York-class' and 'Battleship' were paid close attention by German Navy. Three ships 'Mackensen-class' Battleship Encirclement Offensive 'New York' Battleship, three ships 'Derfflinger class' Battleship then Encirclement Offensive'Texas' number Battleship, make sure to get rid of these two Battleship.
The other Battleship and Battlecruiser launched attacks on the remaining United States battleships.
"Damn it! How could it be like this?" Vice Admiral Martin seemed a little unable to accept the sudden change in the battle situation. Although, British Navy was gradually at a disadvantage before. However, after German Navy and Battlecruiser Squadron arrived, they were unable to even fight back. The powerful Combined Fleet immediately fell apart. Such a failure came too quickly and suddenly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The five-seat twin unit 356mm Main Gun of the New York ship Battleship was also fighting back frantically. Heavy cannonballs hit German Navy's Battlecruiser Squadron flagship 'Mackensen' No. Battlecruiser. However, the shells also fell into the sea and did not achieve any results.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the 'New York' number Battleship shook violently, and Vice Admiral Martin's face suddenly turned pale.
"Damn it, we were hit!" Vice Admiral Martin couldn't help but curse.
An 380mm Shell fired from the 'Mackensen' Battleship of German Navy hit the side of the 'New York' Battleship. The hit was just above the waterline.
The defense of 'New York-class' Battleship is much weaker than that of 'Nevada-class' Battleship. The thickness of the waterline armor is only 305 mm. In front of 380mm Shell, it was like paper.
After the shell tore through the armor, an explosion occurred, directly blowing a big hole in the hull of the New York USS Battleship.
However, the only good thing is that the big hole is located above the waterline, still dozens of centimeters away from the waterline. If the cannonball hit a few dozen centimeters lower, it would cause fatal damage to the New York USS Battleship.
Among German Navy and Encirclement Offensive, British Navy still showed extremely tenacious will to fight despite being at a disadvantage. They fought back frantically, like trapped animals still fighting, hoping to pull up German Navy's battleship to back them up before they were sunk.
