Jagged Germany

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  On the surface of the North Sea, the sound of cannons rumbled. The battlecruisers of the German Navy and the British Navy are firing crazily, intending to use powerful shells to hit the opposing battleship and sink it.

   "Boom!"

  A cannonball landed on the sea, splashing a jet of water into the sky. This is a 380mm shell. Although it is an armor-piercing projectile, the power after the explosion is still very amazing.

   "Damn the Germans, they actually equipped so many warships with 380mm main guns. Why didn't we expect such a situation before?" Lieutenant General David Beatty sighed in his heart.

   The Royal Navy has always been at the forefront of the world, and they lead the development of the world navy. But this time, they fell behind the German Navy. And the consequences of this will be disastrous. Once the Royal Navy loses in this naval battle, the British Empire will pay an extremely heavy price for it. Even, the empire will be destroyed because of this, and it will become a small third-rate country from then on.

  The 380mm artillery shells fired by the German Navy are amazingly powerful. Don't say that the battlecruisers of the British Navy are thin-skinned battleships, even their battleships are absolutely irresistible.

  The only thing the British Navy can do is to pray to God, and pray that those shells will not hit them. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

   It's just that God doesn't hear the prayers of his believers in many cases. Only five minutes after the war started, the battlecruiser "Prince Frederick" of the German Navy took the lead in forming a straddle. A shell exploded on the sea surface to the left of the battlecruiser 'Queen Mary'. Although, this shell is more than two hundred meters away from the Queen Mary. But still let the British navy sailors on the battleship look ashen.

   "Good job!" Lieutenant General Hipper couldn't help cheering.

  After forming a straddle, the battlecruiser "Prince Frederick" immediately changed from test firing to salvo. Three triple-mounted 380mm main guns began to fire with full force. Each salvo can almost smash ten-ton shells on the battleship 'Queen Mary'. The power of the 380mm armor-piercing projectile is astonishing. Once it hits, it can easily tear the weak armor of the "Queen Mary" battleship.

   "Damn it! The luck of the Germans is still so good!" Lieutenant General David Betty couldn't help cursing. There was also a faint bad feeling in his heart. If the luck of the German Navy is still so good, I am afraid that even with the help of three "Queen Elizabeth-class" battleships, they may not be able to win! In the opinion of Lieutenant General David Beatty, the combat effectiveness of the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships is probably equivalent to that of the German Navy's 'Makensen-class' battlecruisers.

   "General, the distance is too far, our gunners, it is difficult to hit the target." A staff officer said.

  Lieutenant General David Betty hesitated for a moment, and then ordered: "Closer the distance between the two sides! Let the gunners perform as well as possible. Whether we can kill the German warships depends on them."

   "Yes, General."

  In order to increase the hit rate, the British fleet began to turn, trying to get a hit by shortening the distance.

   It's just that, in this case, the hit rate of the German fleet will be further improved at the same time.

   Lieutenant General Hipper stood on the bridge of the battleship 'Mackenson' and put down the binoculars in his hand. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that the British have not changed at all from before! Don't they know that the closer the distance is, it is also very beneficial to us? The armor of our battlecruisers can withstand their main guns ...and the armor of their battlecruisers, in front of our main guns, is like paper." Lieutenant General Hipper said with a smile.

   "General, the British must think they can get more hits!" An officer laughed.

  The other officers immediately burst out laughing.

  The distance between the two sides kept getting closer, and soon, the distance was only 13,000 meters. As the distance gets closer, the hit rate of both sides is also constantly improving. However, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be more beneficial to the German Navy.

   Less than 20 minutes after the battle started, the six battlecruisers of the German Navy completed straddle shots one after another. Similarly, all but two of the six battlecruisers of the British Navy completed the straddle. The battlecruisers on both sides began to focus their fire, which made the naval battle more intense.

   "Boom!"

   There was a loud noise, and a huge fireball erupted from the bow of the battlecruiser Friedrich Karl of the German Navy. The battlecruiser "Royal Princess" of the British Navy scored its first hit, and it was also the first hit of this naval battle.

  The 343mm artillery shell directly blasted a large hole on the bow deck of the battleship "Friedrich Karl" and ignited a raging fire.

   "Haha! Well done! God bless the British Empire!" Lieutenant General David Beatty couldn't help but smile when he saw that his warship scored the first hit. The uneasiness in my heart seemed to have disappeared.

   "It seems that our luck is very good. Maybe we can still win this naval battle." Lieutenant General David Betty couldn't help but look forward to it.

   However, Lieutenant General David Betty was obviously happy too early. The 'Royal Princess' did not cause much damage to the 'Friedrich Karl'. Even the combat effectiveness of the 'Frederick Karl' was not affected in any way.

  Although the British Navy scored the first hit, the German Navy then retaliated.

   "Boom!"

Two minutes later, the 'Prince Friedrich' scored its first hit in this naval battle. A 380mm artillery shell hit the side of the battlecruiser 'Queen Mary', directly gnawing off a large piece of it. hull. If it hadn't been for the place where it was hit above the waterline, the 'Queen Mary' would have been in disaster.

  Five minutes later, the battlecruiser "Blücher" of the German Navy hit the battlecruiser "New Zealand" of the British Navy.

Only one minute apart, the battlecruiser 'Frederick Karl' successfully retaliated against the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess'. A 380mm artillery shell shot the stern main turret of the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess' It was turned over. Although no further damage was caused, it did cause the Royal Princess to lose a quarter of its firepower.

   Seeing this scene, Lieutenant General David Betty couldn't laugh anymore.
