The faces of Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty were so gloomy that they could almost drip water. Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul actually wanted to retreat, how could this work? Although the French Navy has five battleships left, and the Italian Navy has only two battleships left, this is also an indispensable and important support for the British Navy.
If the French and Italian navies retreat, the British navy will only have 20 battleships left. Facing the 34 capital ships of the German Navy, you can imagine what will happen with your toes!
"General Lame, General Paul. Although, the German aircraft attack caused us a lot of losses. However, this battle has just begun, and we have not been defeated. If we are lucky, we may not have no chance to defeat the Germans Yes. This is the last chance for our country, and we must not let it go. If we retreat, it means that we have lost this battle. At that time, we can only lose this war It's gone!" Lieutenant General David Beatty said.
"Everyone, once we lose this war, the Germans will surely destroy our country." Admiral John Jellicoe also said.
Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul fell silent immediately. Indeed, the reason why their government will send them to join this battle is to hope to seize this opportunity to defeat the Germans and prevent the country from failing in this war. But now, the strength shown by the Germans in naval battles is really too strong. Let them lose confidence in victory.
"The Germans are strong, there is no doubt about it. Otherwise, they would not have cost the Royal Navy so much. But if we fear the Germans because of this, then there is no need to fight this battle I believe that although the Germans are powerful, their warships can also be sunk. Just like we sank the German battlecruiser 'Blücher' before. Although our current strength is stronger than that of the Germans Weak. But I believe that God will bless us! We still have a great chance of winning this battle." Admiral John Jellicoe continued.
Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul both nodded. Although the worries in their hearts have not dissipated, they know that there is no way out now. For their country, they must fight on. If it fails, France and Italy will be completely finished.
"Woo!"
Suddenly, the shrill siren sounded shrill. Admiral John Jellicoe and others all changed their expressions.
"It seems that even if you want to retreat, it's too late. The main German fleet has arrived, so get ready to fight!" Admiral John Jellicoe said.
Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul nodded, left the battleship 'Revenge', and took a transport boat to their flagship to prepare for the battle.
After the second round of strikes by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft, the main force of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet accelerated southward, preparing for the final confrontation with the Allied Fleet.
The carrier-based air force took care of the ten capital ships of the Allied Fleet. This is already a great help to the High Seas Fleet. It is absolutely certain that they will use 38 capital ships to deal with the remaining 26 capital ships of the Allied Powers United Fleet.
"This will be our last duel with the British. If we win this time, the British will have no chance of a comeback!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. However, it is really not easy to take the position of sea supremacy from the British!" Lieutenant General Hipper said.
In order to defeat the Royal Navy, the German Navy and the British fought several large-scale naval battles alone. Fortunately, the strength of the German navy can stand the test, and every time it ends in victory. This eventually allowed the German Navy to replace the British Navy as the supremacy of the sea. But obviously, even at this time, the British have not given up, and are still stubbornly resisting.
"No matter how many times the British fight, we will defeat them! As long as we win every time, the British will lose." Lieutenant General Spee said.
Admiral Reinhard Scheer and Lieutenant General Hipper couldn't help laughing.
Subsequently, Lieutenant General Spee returned to command the battle on his flagship "Mackenson" battlecruiser. Usually, Lieutenant General Spee is the commander of the Breaking Fleet. During the decisive battle at sea, he was in charge of commanding the battlecruiser formation of the German Navy.
After the sinking of the battlecruiser "Blücher", although there were only 11 battlecruisers left in the German Navy. However, their strength has not suffered much loss. 11 battlecruisers, divided into two battlecruiser squadrons. The 23 battleships were divided into 4 battleship squadrons.
"Send a telegram to General Spee, asking him to lead the battlecruiser formation and go around behind the British. On the one hand, flank the British. On the other hand, prevent them from escaping!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered road.
He hopes that in this decisive battle, not only will he win, but he will also wipe out all the enemy's capital ships in one fell swoop. In this case, the British would no longer be able to threaten the German Navy.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Hipper nodded.
"By the way, Your Excellency, Commander. His Royal Highness informed us that the pilots need to take a break, and they will be able to launch the third round of attacks in about two hours." Lieutenant General Hipper said.
Admiral Reinhardt Scheer nodded: "No problem. Two hours later, the carrier-based aircraft force will attack again, which will almost help us defeat the British in one fell swoop."
The High Seas Fleet of the German Navy immediately took action, and the 11 battlecruisers began to accelerate, preparing to circle around the Allied Fleet. The remaining 23 battleships continued to approach south, forcing the United Fleet to fight decisively.
"Damn the Germans, they want to wipe us out!" Admiral John Jellicoe immediately understood the intention of the German Navy. This is not good news for the United Fleet. Once defeated, they may not have many warships to escape.
"Order the ships, prepare to fight! Since the Germans want to outflank our rear, let's defeat their main force first! Before their battlecruisers encircle them, defeat them first! In this case, we will win !” Admiral John Jellicoe ordered.
