Iron Germany

"Very good, finally killed a British battleship. The first battle line has already killed two British battleships. We shouldn't be too far behind them! In that case, everyone's face It’s not very pretty.” Lieutenant General Hipper said with a smile.

"General, we have sunk the 'North Dakota', and soon we will be able to sink more British battleships." The officer said. He seems to be full of confidence in winning.

In fact, every officer and soldier of the German Navy believed that they would win this battle.

"The defense of the American battleship 'Nevada' is really strong. Our 343mm main gun can't penetrate their turret armor, which is really a pity!" Lieutenant General Hipper felt helpless Said.

Otherwise, that single shot alone would be enough to make the battleship 'Nevada' pay an extremely heavy price.

"General, the armor of the American 'Nevada-class' battleships is very thick, especially the turret armor is more than 400 millimeters thick. It is very difficult to chew off a typical hard bone!" said the officer.

Lieutenant General Hipper nodded: "Ask General Spee when they can arrive. The 380mm main guns of the 'Mackenson-class' and 'Derfflinger-class' may be able to knock open the turtles of the Americans. shell."

"If fighting at a distance of 10,000 meters, the 380mm main gun with 50 times the caliber should be able to armor the turrets of American warships, and there is no big problem!" said the officer.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Spee is leading 11 battlecruisers of the German Navy to arrive. Once they arrive, occupation will be even more detrimental to the United Fleet. Although the defense of those battlecruisers is slightly worse than that of battleships, they are still very powerful. And the firepower is very strong, which will make the combined fleet lose this war, and it is very likely that it will be completely wiped out.

Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant Admiral David Beatty on the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the British Navy, looked very ugly. With the passage of time, the combined fleet's advantage in the number of capital ships is being lost step by step. This made the two of them feel that victory was getting away from them.

"General, General Martin reports that they have lost a battleship. The other battleships have almost been suppressed by the Germans. The situation is very unfavorable to us!" Lieutenant General David Beatty said.

Admiral John Jellicoe nodded: "It seems that we still take it for granted. Otherwise, this battle would not have been fought like this. The Germans are too powerful, even if we gather All the forces that can be assembled cannot defeat them.

Admiral John Jellicoe's words were full of frustration and despair. This time, they have mobilized all the forces they can muster. If the German Navy cannot be defeated this time, then there will be no chance of defeating the German Navy in the future. Admiral John Jellicoe knew that the British Empire would completely sink because of their failure. Even though they tried their best, they still couldn't stop it.

Lieutenant General David Beatty opened his mouth to comfort General John Jellicoe, but he suddenly didn't know how to speak. Because what Admiral John Jellicoe said was true. The current situation is indeed too critical for them.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a violent explosion, and the battle at the end of the battle line became more intense. Five battleships of the German Navy faced two battleships of the German Navy, and the two sides were evenly matched. This made the French very ashamed, and at the same time made John Jellicoe and others very annoyed. If the performance of the French Navy can be better, perhaps the current situation will be different. However, it is obviously useless to say these now.

The battleship "King Albert" of the German Navy once again scored a hit. Two 343mm shells hit the battleship 'Normandy'. A shell penetrated the waterline armor on the side of the 'Normandie'. Although the waterline armor of the "Normandy" battleship is as thick as 300 mm, it still cannot withstand the 343 mm shells fired by the main gun with a 50-caliber caliber.

The more fatal injury came from the boiler room. After a shell penetrated the armor, it exploded directly in the boiler room. The violent explosion destroyed all the boilers in the boiler room. A large amount of high-temperature steam leaked out, killing the sailors inside. At the same time, the damage to the boiler room caused the battleship to lose power and slow down more and more.

You must know that in naval battles, the explosion of the boiler room caused losses second only to the explosion of the ammunition depot. The battleship 'Normandie' was severely damaged in an instant.

"Damn it, let's leave the 'Normandie' immediately and go to the 'Flanders' to continue commanding the battle!" Admiral Lame made a decision immediately. The 'Flender' was not attacked, so it was even safer.

The battleship "King Albert" of the German Navy seized this opportunity and frantically fired at the battleship "Normandy", trying to sink it.

Before Admiral Lame had time to return to the battleship 'Flanders', the battleship 'Normandie' was constantly being hit. After losing speed, this battleship is no different from a dead fish floating on the sea. The battleship "King Albert" of the German Navy can easily hit him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Violent explosions sounded continuously on the battleship 'Normandy', and the injuries of this battleship were also getting worse.

In the five minutes before and after, the battleship 'Normandy' suffered 8 shells. This is undoubtedly a fatal injury to the battleship 'Normandy'.

Soon, the battleship 'Normandy' was severely damaged, and the hull suffered great trauma. The entire battleship has been battered and riddled with holes. Of the four main turrets, only one can continue to fire. Everything else was destroyed. Sea water is also pouring into the battleship from the hole. Even the damage control personnel were desperate for such a serious injury.

This caused the battleship 'Normandy' to sink into the sea very quickly.

The French Navy now has only 4 battleships left. And all the warships on the first battle line of the United Fleet, there are only 12 left. This number is the same as the first battle line of the German Navy. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it was the first battle line of the joint strike, which was completely suppressed.
