Third Reich: I took over power

On July 8, in the waters north of Azores, the battlecruiser Barbarossa was attacking a merchant ship.

This merchant ship came from South America and carried a large amount of copper ore.

During the war, copper mines were an important strategic resource. Bullet casings and artillery shells all needed to be made of copper.

"boom! boom!"

The 150mm side guns of the battlecruiser Barbarossa fired violently, and the shells kept hitting the merchant ship.

For merchant ships, it would be too wasteful to use the 380mm main gun to deal with it. After all, 380mm The shells of the main gun are not cheap! Even if the navy of the Third Reich has a great cause, it is still during the war, so it is good to save as much as possible. At this moment, the merchant ship has already ignited a raging fire. A large amount of seawater is flowing through the loopholes People are pouring into the ship crazily. In a short time, this merchant ship will sink into the sea.

"Damn the Germans, God will never forgive you! You will definitely go to hell!"The captain of this merchant ship stood on the lifeboat with a look of resentment on his face.

This was all his wealth! In the end, it was all gone.

"Has the telegram been sent? asked the captain

"BOSS, the telegram has been sent. The Royal Navy will definitely come to deal with them! said another sailor.

"Well, God bless the Empire on which the sun never sets. The Royal Navy will definitely send all these guys to hell!"The captain obviously has great confidence in the Royal Navy.

At this moment, less than fifty kilometers away from this sea area, the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy Encirclement and Suppression Fleet, three Brave-class battlecruisers, along with two heavy cruisers and Three light cruisers, as well as four destroyers, are cruising

"Report, General, that a distress telegram has been found. A merchant ship named Kalmar was sunk by a warship of the Third Reich in this sea area!"The communications officer reported

"This sea area? Just not far from us. Order all ships to speed up, we will catch up!"Rear Admiral Roderick, commander of the Third Squadron, ordered

"Yes, General!"The officer replied

"Don't you need to report to the Commander?"The officer was a little confused.

Major General Roderick shook his head:"If you send a telegram now, it will definitely be monitored by the Third Reich. In that case, it would be a mistake. Take off a seaplane to send a telegram to the Azores. We moved forward at full speed to pursue the Third Reich's break-up fleet."

"Yes, General!"

A few minutes later, a seaplane ejected from the Brave cruiser.

And the squadron began to advance at full speed, preparing to pursue the Third Army's break-up fleet.

Although the Brave-class battlecruiser was the first battleship in the last world war The one built in it has been in service for more than 20 years. However, before the outbreak of the war, the Sun Never Sets Empire modified it and strengthened its power, so that its speed can still be maintained at thirty knots.

And The firepower of the Brave-class battlecruiser is very powerful. The first ship Brave and the second ship Glory are equipped with two twin 15-inch, or 381-meter main guns. The third ship Fury is equipped with Two 18-inch, or 457 mm, main guns.

Considering that the displacement of this class of battlecruiser is only more than 22,000 tons, this is undoubtedly a typical small boat carrying big guns. The thickness of its armor and its defensive power are naturally As you can imagine. At this moment, the battlecruiser Barbarossa did not know that the Royal Navy's encirclement and suppression fleet had caught up, and was still advancing at a patrol speed of 22 knots.

So that at around four o'clock in the afternoon, the Royal Navy's encirclement and suppression fleet The third squadron of the fleet finally caught up.

"Report, sir, Royal Navy fleet sighted!"Lieutenant Colonel Sanger looked nervous.

"The Royal Navy is coming? Order the fleet to increase speed immediately and prepare to evacuate!"Colonel Fulkes ordered

"Yes, sir! Lieutenant Colonel Sanger replied.

The speed of the battlecruiser Barbarossa began to increase continuously.

The light cruiser Kassel and two destroyers also followed closely, increasing the speed to 32 knots. This is already Barbarossa's speed. The battlecruiser Rosa has reached its maximum speed.

Colonel Fulkes stood by the porthole of the battleship Barbarossa, using his binoculars to look at the Royal Navy's encirclement and suppression fleet chasing from behind, and couldn't help but smile.

"It is the Valiant-class battlecruiser of the Empire on which the sun never sets. If we didn't have only one ship, and there were many heavy cruisers and light cruisers in the Empire where the sun never sets, we could actually have a fight with them!"Colonel Fulkes seemed a little regretful.

If it were a one-on-one battle, he was confident that with the advanced performance of the O-class battlecruiser, he could completely crush the Brave-class battlecruiser. But the problem is that the opponent has three ships, and there are Two heavy cruisers and three light cruisers, while the battlecruiser Barbarossa had no other comrades except herself.

"Yes, sir. However, the Brave-class battlecruisers of the Empire on which the sun never sets are already old after all. It’s not that easy to catch up with us!"Lieutenant Colonel Sanger nodded.

"It will be dark in a few hours. When the time comes, we can get rid of them with the cover of night. said Colonel Fulks.

"Yes, sir. The sun never sets, the Empire can't catch up with us!"Lieutenant Colonel Sanger said confidently.

Indeed, after the battlecruiser Barbarossa turned on full power and increased its speed to 32 knots, the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy Encirclement and Suppression Fleet of the Imperial Navy could only watch helplessly as the sun never sets. Watching the battlecruiser Barbarossa getting further and further away from them

"hateful! Damn the Germans, are they cowards? Do they only dare to massacre our merchant ships, but don't dare to fight us?"Rear Admiral Roderick cursed.

He didn't even think about it. Now they have three battlecruisers, and the Third Reich only has one, so naturally they have to avoid their sharp edges.

"General, what should we do? Our Brave-class battlecruisers cannot catch up with the O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich."An officer said.

Major General Roderick is also very embarrassed. The maximum speed of the Brave-class battlecruiser is now only 30 knots. The remaining heavy cruisers and light cruisers can reach 32 knots, and even those destroyers can reach 36 knots. But the problem is that with those heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers alone, even if they catch up, they cannot be the opponent of the battleship Barbarossa of the Third Reich. If Major General Roderick really wants to order these heavy cruisers, If the light cruisers and destroyers catch up, they will die._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
