Germanic Empire: please call me William III

On the endless Tianzhu Ocean, a fleet full of scars was sailing fast.
The iron crusader flag hanging from the mast fluttered in the wind.
This fleet was none other than the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy.
However, the entire Far East Fleet originally had 7 battleships, including the heavy cruisers Sagittarius, the light cruisers Overwatch and the light cruisers Hunting, as well as four A-class destroyers.
However, after more than a month of war, the entire Far East Fleet was left with only the heavy cruiser Sagittarius and two light cruisers.
The other 4 destroyers have all been sunk.
The tonnage of the destroyer is too small, and the carrying ability is still too weak. In naval warfare, once hit by a shell, it is easy to be severely damaged or even sunk.
After the outbreak of war, the Far East Fleet, loaded with oil and ammunition, sailed out of the military port and entered the Pacific Ocean from the Java Sea, intercepting merchant ships from the kangaroo country in the western waters of the kangaroo country that had sailed from the kangaroo country to the mainland of the Empire.
Half a month later, the number of merchant ships they had sunk had reached twenty.
These were merchant ships, almost all carrying iron ore, cotton, and grain. These resources are indispensable and important resources in war.
A large number of merchant ships were sunk, which immediately made the Imperial Royal Navy very angry.
The Royal Navy’s Far East Fleet and the Tianzhu Ocean Fleet rounded up the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Empire Navy.
After a fierce battle, the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Navy lost four destroyers. The Royal Navy, on the other hand, was sunk by three protective cruisers, four unprotected cruisers and two panzers.
The losses of the Royal Navy were much greater than those of the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Empire Navy.
However, in the Tianzhu Ocean, the Royal Navy has an absolute advantage.
Even after the outbreak of war, in order to blockade the coastline of the Germanic Empire, the Royal Navy had already allocated all its capital ships back to defend the homeland. However, on the Tianzhu Ocean, there are still several former dreadnoughts.
These former dreadnoughts, though not as powerful as dreadnoughts. But the powerful 305 mm main gun was still not able to withstand the heavy cruiser Sagittarius of the Far East Fleet of the Imperial German Navy.
Moreover, these former dreadnoughts also had thick armor, and the 210 mm main gun of the Heavy Cruiser Sagittarius was difficult to penetrate, let alone inflict fatal damage on it.
Fortunately, these former dreadnoughts were slow. Otherwise, the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Navy had absolutely nowhere to run.
Even so, the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy was chased down on the Tianzhu Ocean.
If they continue like this, they may soon be caught up.
Not because of anything else, but because of a lack of supplies. Whether it is fuel or ammunition, as well as living materials, there is a growing shortage.
When they left their home port, in order to load as much fuel and ammunition as possible, they used almost all the space on the battleship to store tanks and ammunition tanks.
Even in the cabin of Count Spey, the commander of the fleet, there were several large oil barrels piled up.
But even so, after more than a month of war, the materials were almost consumed.
“Your Excellency, Commander, we will be able to hold out for at most half a month. If we don’t get supplies again, I’m afraid we’ll be caught up by the sun never sets! “On the heavy cruiser Sagittarius,” said the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Erich.
Count Spey nodded, “The situation is very unfavorable to us. The sun is already gathering a fleet to encircle and suppress us. The whole Tianzhu Yang was no longer safe. ”
“Yes, Sir Commander, we need to leave. But are we going into the Pacific, or is it the Atlantic? Lieutenant Colonel Erich asked.
Count Spey was also hesitant.
The Atlantic Ocean is the home of the Imperial Royal Navy, which has assembled a large fleet across the Atlantic. If the Sun Never Sets, the Far East Fleet of the Imperial Navy, if it enters the Atlantic Ocean, it will be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger!
However, if you enter the Pacific Ocean, you may have a chance to escape. But the biggest problem is that they don’t have enough fuel anymore.
“Sir, I just received a telegram!” The communications officer walked in.
Lieutenant Colonel Erich took the telegram and looked at it, and laughed.
“Your Excellency, Commander, good news. A merchant ship was secretly prepared at home, and in the southern part of the Atlantic, we could rush to the predetermined sea to join it. When the time comes, we will be able to replenish fuel and ammunition, as well as daily necessities! Lieutenant Colonel Erich said with a smile.
Count Spey nodded, “This is indeed good news. However, once we enter the Atlantic, we will be even more dangerous. Perhaps, we will soon be captured by the main force of the Imperial Royal Navy and then sunk! ”
“Your Excellency, Commander, we are soldiers of the Imperial Navy, and even if we do die on the sea, we have nothing to fear. As long as it can cause greater losses to the people who never set, it is enough! Lieutenant Colonel Erich’s face was filled with fearless determination.
Count Spey sighed, “Well, turn now, bypass the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa, and enter the Atlantic.” Hopefully, there is a proper plan on the part of the Empire to rescue us. Otherwise, we would only be able to fight until the last moment and sink with the ship! ”
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” Lieutenant Colonel Erich answered.
Immediately, the three warships of the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy turned around on the Tianzhu Ocean.
However, in order to confuse the Royal Navy’s pursuing fleet, they did not go directly to the Cape of Good Hope, but swung around in the northern part of the Tianzhu Ocean, sinking several merchant ships of the Empire of the Sun Never Setting, before sailing into the vast Tianzhu Ocean, preparing to cross the entire Tianzhu Ocean, bypassing the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa, and entering the Atlantic Ocean.
The pursuing fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy, which never sets, is turned around by Count Spey and others.
On the entire Tianzhu Ocean route, there was a lot of wind and cranes.
Many of the ships that had originally set sail, fearing being caught by the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Navy, even returned to port. This dealt an extremely serious blow to the sea transport lines of the Empire that never set.
The Empire of the Rising Sun was originally a powerful colonial empire, and it was only by exploiting the colonies that they had great strength. However, it was impossible to transport a large amount of supplies from the colonies back to the mainland. Then, the war potential of the Empire will be greatly weakened. This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable to the Empire where the sun never sets.
