The sinking of the 'Vengeance' number Battleship is undoubtedly a huge blow to British Royal Navy. Not just because the 'Vengeance' number Battleship is their flagship. At the same time, it is also because the number Battleship of 'Vengeance' is the most powerful Battleship currently in service with Royal Navy. Now, even the Battleship number 'Vengeance' has been sunk, and other Battleships will certainly not escape the fate of being sunk.

German Navy's 'Bavaria' number Battleship and 'Brandenburg' number Battleship are attacking After sinking the Battleship 'Vengeance', it immediately transferred to the Encirclement Offensive against other Britain battleships.

On the 'New York' number Battleship, Vice Admiral Martin was looking pale. Not only was Battleship sunk because of the receipt of the number 'Vengeance', John? Admiral Jellicoe chose to sink with the ship. What's more, because the 'New York' number Battleship is under Encirclement Offensive of German Navy, it is also in danger.

The combat effectiveness of each of the three 'Markenson-class' battleships far exceeds that of the 'New York' battleship. Three ships besieged it, making it impossible for the USS New York to survive.

In the previous battle, the "New York" Battleship had already suffered two 380mm Shell. Because it didn't hit a vital point, it wasn't fatal. But now, as the attacks of the three "Mackensen-class" and "Battleship" become more and more fierce, the probability of the "New York" Battleship being hit is also increasing.

"Boom!"

A 380mm Shell launched from the "Frederick Karl" Battleship hit the superstructure of the "New York" Battleship. A large hole was punched through the entire superstructure, which also caused a fire.

Damage control personnel immediately began to put out the fire. They wore gas masks and rushed to the fire scene. Many people were directly swallowed up by the fire.

Before the fire was put out, the "New York" Battleship was hit again. A 380mm Shell hit the bow of the USS New York Battleship. In the violent explosion, a piece of the ship's bow was cut off. Fortunately, the damage was above the waterline. Otherwise, the New York No. Battleship will pay a heavy price.

However, this is just the beginning. German Navy's attacks continue.

"Boom! Boom!"

One shell after another continued to explode around the "New York" Battleship. Occasionally, a shell directly hit the "New York" Battleship, causing great trauma to the 'New York' USS Battleship.

As the number of hits increased, the 'New York' number Battleship could no longer hold on.

Vice Admiral Martin saw this situation and issued the flagship order. However, he did not have the courage John? Admiral Jellicoe. Instead of sinking to the bottom of the sea with the battleship, he chose to take a traffic boat to a destroyer. Vice Admiral Martin knows very well that if he continues to ride Capital Ships, he will still become the target of German Navy's attack. At this time, only by taking a small or medium-sized warship can you have a chance to escape. After all, German Navy's current targets are all those Capital Ships. For small and medium-sized warships, I don't pay much attention.

The 'New York' Battleship sank in less than ten minutes, and the sister ship 'Texas' Battleship of the same class was also sunk under the German Navy's three 'Derfflinger class' Battleship's Encirclement Offensive. At this time, there are only 6 Battleship left that the Britain people bought from United States. Moreover, almost all of them are under the German Navy and Encirclement Offensive, and it is only a matter of time before they are sunk.

Vice Admiral Spee ordered three 'Derfflinger class' and three 'Mackensen-class' Battleship to pursue the escaping warships of Britain, France and Kingdom of Italy. Judging from the current situation, only the "Tiger" Battlecruiser owned by Britain, and four Battleship owned by French and two Battleship owned by Italy who escaped first. The other battleships are among German Navy, Capital Ships, and Encirclement Offensive. As long as all the Allied Powers Capital Shipss trying to escape are sunk, then German Navy will be able to win a complete victory.

Of course, this is undoubtedly a disastrous defeat for Allied Powers.

The 'Tiger' number Battlecruiser is running frantically for its life. The speed of the battleship has been increased to the extreme. David? Vice Admiral Beatty, standing on the deck of the "Tiger" Battleship, the oncoming sea breeze made him gradually calm down.

There is no doubt that this time Royal Navy is completely finished. Royal Navy's losses in this naval battle were greater than in the previous naval battle. More importantly, after the failure of this naval battle, Royal Navy has completely lost the chance to make a comeback. After all, no country can sell them so many Capital Ships anymore.

"General, the 'Vengeance' has been sunk!" the adjutant reported to David? Vice Admiral Beatty.

David? Vice Admiral Beatty's body suddenly became stiff. Although, he had already expected such a result. However, when the bad news came, he still couldn't accept it.

"Where is your Excellency Commander?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty asked.

"Your Excellency Commander put himself in the cabin of Battleship on the 'Vengeance' and sank to the bottom of the sea together with the battleship." the adjutant replied.

David? Vice Admiral Beatty couldn't help but close his eyes in pain when he heard the news.

"A tragic defeat! An unprecedented defeat! Royal Navy This time, there is no chance of comeback!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.

So many battleships were lost, and so many outstanding naval soldiers were lost. Under such circumstances, British Navy has lost everything. In this naval battle, they lost completely. Not only has Royal Navy's spine been completely broken, but even British Empire will have no future.

Subsequently, David? Vice Admiral Beatty received news that the 'New York' number Battleship and the 'Texas' number Battleship were sunk. Two more main battleships were sunk. However, David? Vice Admiral Beatty is already numb.

The only thing that makes David? Vice Admiral Beatty probably lucky is that German Navy hasn't caught up yet. He might be able to escape by taking the 'Tiger' number Battlecruiser.

Although, Royal Navy is finished, British Empire is about to be finished. However, he can continue to live. Even if he no longer serves, being a civilian is much better than dying at sea.

However, David? Vice Admiral Beatty's hope will soon be dashed.

"Woo!"

The shrill siren sounded, and David? Vice Admiral Beatty suddenly changed his face.

"General, plane! German aircraft is coming." The adjutant reported with a Panic look on his face.
