Jagged Germany

   "Command the fleet, prepare for battle. The glory of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, fight here!" Admiral John Jellicoe issued a combat order.

   David? Lieutenant General Betty, said nothing, but his face was very serious. He knew that this might be the last naval battle in his life.

  Although facing a powerful enemy, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy still showed an extremely tenacious will to fight. The spirit passed down from Nelson's time has always inspired and inspired them.

   Under the command of Admiral John Jellicoe, the Royal Navy is ready for the last fight. 14 battleships lined up in a long battle line. At the beginning, there are five 'Revenge-class' battleships, followed by the 'King George V' battleship, followed by three 'Orion-class' battleships, followed by the 'Agincourt' battleship,' HMS Ireland and HMS Canada, and finally HMS Hercules.

  Facing the several-kilometer-long battle line of the British Navy, Admiral Reinhard Scheer also made a choice immediately.

"The first battle line consists of the 'Bavaria-class' battleships, the 'Caesar-class' battleships and the 'Nassau-class' battleships. The 'King-class' battleships, the 'Helgoland-class' battleships and the battlecruiser formations The three 'Mackenson-class' battlecruisers and the No. 2 battlecruiser 'Lützow' among the 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruisers that were transferred form the second battle line. Two battle lines, Flank the British!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered.

  If the German Navy adds battlecruisers, the number of capital ships is fully twice that of the remaining capital ships of the Royal Navy. So, this allowed them to form two lines of battle against the British Navy. Although, battlecruisers do not seem to be suitable for decisive battles on the battle line. However, it has undoubtedly been proved in previous naval battles that the battlecruisers of the German Navy are no worse than the battleships of the British Navy in terms of defense. It is completely possible to confront the British battleship. Under such circumstances, the German Navy is naturally in a position to win.

  As for the remaining eight battlecruisers, they were led by Lieutenant General Maximilian von Spee. Their task was to deal with the small and medium-sized warships of the British Navy, including armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. There are hundreds of small and medium-sized warships in the British Navy. If they launch a lightning strike regardless of casualties, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to the main fleet of the German Navy.

  When I saw that the German navy had formed two battle lines, intending to attack the British navy. The faces of Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David couldn't help but become very ugly. There is no doubt that the German Navy is preparing to bully them by fighting more and fighting less.

   "Shameless Germans, don't they dare to fight us upright? They actually adopted such a despicable and shameless tactic!" Lieutenant General David Betty couldn't help but cursed.

  Although Admiral John Jellicoe was not like Lieutenant General David Betty, he felt very aggrieved.

   "Attack the German flagship first, and then deal with another battle line. This time, we must do our best!" Admiral John Jellicoe ordered through gritted teeth.

   "Yes, General." The order was conveyed immediately. The officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy are already filled with righteous indignation and are ready to fight the German Navy to the death.

   At 12:34, the battle officially began.

  The first battle line of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet started its attack first. It will take some time for the 2nd battle line to go around to the other side of the British Navy. Of course, in order to avoid being flanked as much as possible, the British Royal Navy is also constantly increasing their speed, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the German Navy's second battle line. However, in terms of speed, the battleships of the British Royal Navy do not have the slightest advantage. This makes it impossible for them to get rid of the double attack of the German navy. At most, they just hold on for a little longer.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The battleship "Bavaria", the flagship of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, opened fire first, and three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns began to roar. Cannonballs weighing more than a ton roared and smashed towards the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the Royal Navy.

  The "Bavaria-class" battleship and the "Revenge-class" battleship represent the strongest warships of the German Navy and the British Navy respectively. Now, the two battleships are finally about to start their final duel.

   "Fire!"

  The British Royal Navy immediately launched a counterattack. Although the current distance is more than 15 kilometers, for large-caliber naval guns, this is already within their effective attack range. However, at such a long distance, it is very difficult to get a hit.

  Although both sides were just testing fire, the shelling was not too violent. However, the entire sea is still rumbling with gunfire, which is very intense.

  'Bavaria-class' battleship, as the most powerful first-class battleship of the German Navy, although the key data is similar to the'King-class' battleship. However, what is more powerful than the "King-class" battleship is the improvement of the soft power of the battleship. The sighting equipment and fire control system are all state-of-the-art. In addition, the "Bavarian-class" battleships are also equipped with semi-automatic loading machines, which greatly reduces the firing time of the "Bavarian-class" battleships. If it takes one and a half minutes for the 'King-class' battleship to fire a salvo, then it only takes one minute for the 'Bavaria-class' battleship.

  Before there is no precision-guided weapon, it is undoubtedly necessary to hit the target and increase the output of firepower. The more shells fired, the higher the hit rate will naturally be. Coupled with being able to aim more accurately, the possibility of naturally hitting the target is greatly improved.

  Battle just started, John? Jericho Admiral and David? Beatty Lieutenant General, felt this. How could the huge warships of the German Navy on the opposite side fire so fast?

   "Oh my God! The German Bavarian-class battleships have an average rate of fire of one round per minute, right? How is this possible?" Lieutenant General David Beatty looked shocked. You know, their "Revenge-class" battleships also need a minute and a half or even two minutes to be able to fire a salvo.

   Admiral John Jellicoe's heart kept sinking. Because, he found that the disadvantage of the Royal Navy seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
