Jagged Germany

   "We can lose this naval battle. However, the British Empire cannot lose this war!" After Lieutenant General David Beatty figured this out, he immediately issued an order to retreat.

  Although, in this battle, they have lost many battleships. However, it is better to be able to escape a few ships than to lose them all. At least, if these few battlecruisers of theirs want to retreat wholeheartedly, the German Navy will not be so easy to catch them. However, the three 'Iron Duke-class' battleships on the other battlefield may not be able to escape. Lieutenant General David Beatty had no choice but to let them hold back the German navy in an attitude of waste utilization, creating opportunities for the evacuation of other warships.

   After the order was issued, the remaining five battlecruisers of the British Navy immediately began to turn around, and then began to accelerate and sail south quickly.

  The behavior of the British surprised the German navy. Why did the British run away after fighting?

   "What's going on? What are they going to do?" Lieutenant General Hipper was a little dazed.

   "Damn it, are they trying to escape?" Lieutenant General Spei cursed.

   "Escape? They have already lost so many capital ships, is there any point in escaping now?" Hipper frowned.

   Indeed, in this battle, the British Navy suffered a lot of losses. Of the four "King George V-class" battleships, three were sunk and one was severely damaged. Of the nine battlecruisers, three were sunk and one was severely damaged. In addition, one of the four "Iron Duke-class" battleships has been sunk, and the remaining three seem to be unable to escape. With such a huge loss, why do they still think about retreating?

   "Is there any fraud in this, or the British have another battleship coming. So, they want to lure us to go south and throw ourselves into the trap?" Lieutenant General Hipper asked.

"It is indeed possible, but I don't think it is very likely. This time, the British have dispatched nine battlecruisers and eight battleships. This is already all the warships that the British can deploy. If they deploy again For other warships, unless they don’t want to continue to block the North Sea. It is estimated that the British were frightened by the huge losses and dare not fight any more.” Lieutenant General Spee said.

   Lieutenant General Hipper nodded, agreeing with Lieutenant General Shipper's point of view.

   "Then shall we pursue it?" Seeing the five British battlecruisers slip away like this, Lieutenant General Hipper was a little unwilling.

   "Forget it, the British are determined to escape, and we can't catch up." Lieutenant General Spee shook his head. Although the speed of the two sides is equal, it is almost impossible to intercept the escaped British.

   "Let's go help General Scheer and get rid of the three remaining British 'Iron Duke-class' battleships earlier." Lieutenant General Spee said,

  The German Navy's breaking fleet immediately rushed to join Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, preparing to eat the remaining three "Iron Duke" battleships of the British Navy. In this case, in this naval battle, they sank seven battleships and three battlecruisers of the British Navy. This kind of victory is already very fruitful.

   On the battleship 'Iron Duke', Rear Admiral Robertson was scolding.

"Damn it, that coward Betty, he actually abandoned us and ran away alone. He should be sent to a court-martial for his behavior!" Major General Robertson asked Lieutenant General David Betty to stop him and drag the Germans back Order, very resistant. In his opinion, Lieutenant General David Betty clearly meant to escape by himself and let him die.

   But what choice does he have but to carry out his orders? Even if you want to run, you can't run! How can a battleship with a maximum speed of only 21.25 knots and a scarred battleship outrun the German battlecruiser? So, even if he didn't want to stay, there was nothing he could do! Apart from scolding Lieutenant General David Betty, there was no other way.

   Of course, he could also choose to surrender to the Germans. However, this is undoubtedly trampling on the honor of the Royal Navy for hundreds of years. If he dared to do that, his family would not be able to survive in England. Therefore, Major General Robertson has no other choice but to fight to the end. At most, they were captured by the Germans after the battleship sank.

  Almost at the same time, Admiral Reinhard Scheer also received reports from Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee, and learned that the British battlecruiser had escaped.

"It's a pity! It would be great if the British fought to the end! In that case, we can also eat up their remaining battlecruisers." Admiral Reinhard Scheer sighed Take a breath.

  As the commander of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, he certainly hopes that the German Navy can sink more British warships in this battle. In that case, in future naval battles, the German navy will have a greater advantage.

   "The ships continue to shoot and get rid of the remaining three battleships of the British!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered.

  Since the British battlecruiser has run away, the remaining three "Iron Duke" battleships cannot be let go. If they are eaten, it will also be a huge blow to the British Navy.

  Knowing that they must die, the remaining three "Iron Duke" battleships of the British Navy also performed very bravely. They were still firing desperately in the face of a strong enemy. The reason why the British Royal Navy has been able to dominate the world's oceans for hundreds of years is not only the possession of powerful warships, but also the desperate fighting of these naval officers and soldiers.

  However, the efforts of these Royal Navy officers and soldiers are still meaningless. Because the disparity in strength between the two sides is really too great.

  Especially after the five battlecruisers of the German Navy's breaking fleet also arrived and joined the siege of them.

  The battleship 'Ben Bow' was the first to be sunk, and more than ten minutes later, the battleship 'Marlborough' followed in his footsteps. The battleship 'Iron Duke' was the last to be sunk.

  Rear Admiral Robertson and other British navy generals did not choose to sink with the ship, but boarded the lifeboat before the battleship sank, and were subsequently captured by the German navy.

   This naval battle ended with a complete victory for the German Navy. At the cost of one battlecruiser, the German Navy sank seven British battleships, three battlecruisers, and damaged one battleship and one battlecruiser.
