Jagged Germany

Chapter 450: adventure rewards

   "The 'Agincourt' was sunk so easily, how can this battle continue?" Lieutenant General David Betty muttered to himself. Originally, the Royal Navy had few warships, but now that they have lost one, it will undoubtedly put them at a further disadvantage in the next battle.

"The battleship 'Agincourt' was originally a deformed battleship. It was designed like this to meet the requirements of the Brazilians. In order to install so many turrets on the hull with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, it made Its armor has been extremely weakened. The three main turrets at the stern are even closer together. This caused it to be destroyed directly after being hit." Admiral John Jellicoe said expressionlessly .

  Although, the battleship 'Agincourt' was sunk, causing them heavy losses. However, he seemed to have expected such a moment. Originally, the battleship 'Agincourt' was nothing more than a foreign trade warship. If it wasn't a last resort, they wouldn't have given it service in the Royal Navy at all. It's just that the capital ship suffered heavy losses and was forced to do nothing by the Germans, so they rushed the ducks to the shelves and used the battleship 'Agincourt' to fill the number. As a result, once on the battlefield, the performance of the battleship 'Agincourt' was really rubbish, and it was easily sunk. Not to mention the loss of a capital ship, the British Navy also lost hundreds of elite naval officers and soldiers.

   "Your Excellency, the 'Agincourt' has been sunk, which will put us at a greater disadvantage on the battle line!" Lieutenant General David Beatty said.

  General John Jellicoe nodded, but there was nothing he could do about it!

   "Let the ships continue to fight! Find a way to sink the German warships as much as possible in the next battle. This is the only thing we can do." Admiral John Jellicoe said.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General David Betty said helplessly.

   On the other side, the German navy is already cheering victory. Not long after the war started, a victory was actually achieved. This is undoubtedly a great encouragement for the German Navy.

"Very well, well done. All the officers and men of the 'Prince Regent' of Luitpold are doing a good job. I will give credit to the Marshal!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer's face was full smile.

  Although, he is full of confidence in this war. However, there was still some tension in his heart. Until now, seeing the German navy's warship sinking the British warship, he completely put his heart back into his stomach.

   "Send a telegram to the 'Louis Polder Regent' and ask them to cooperate with the 'Helgoland' to kill the British battleship 'Ireland'." Admiral Reinhardt Scheer ordered.

  The reason why he chose the battleship 'Ireland' as the next attack target was not because of anything else, but because the battleship 'Ireland' was also a foreign trade warship. The battleship was originally built by the British for the Ottoman Empire. But because the Royal Navy lost in the naval battle, it was detained by the British and joined the battle order of the Royal Navy.

   Therefore, the battleship 'Ireland', like other foreign trade battleships, is equipped with as powerful firepower as possible on a limited displacement, making the battleship's defense very poor. The battleship "Ireland" is equipped with five twin-mounted 343mm main guns, and its full-load displacement is only 25,000 tons. In terms of defense, the thickest part of the waterline armor is 305 mm, while the other turrets and command towers are only 280 mm. This kind of defense is undoubtedly too weak.

  After the battleship 'Lewittpold Regent' joined the shooting of the battleship 'Ireland', it immediately put the battleship in a pincer attack. The artillery shells fired from the battleships "Prince Regent" and "Helgoland" continuously exploded water columns around the battleship "Ireland".

  In this naval battle, the truly eye-catching battle is undoubtedly the adventurous action of the battleship "Saxon". Just when the battleship 'Louitpold Regent' killed the 'Agincourt', the battleship 'Saxon' had successfully narrowed the engagement distance to 10,000 meters. At this distance, it can almost be regarded as directly hitting the belly of the battleship 'Ramilis' with a cannon.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The three triple-mounted 380mm main guns on the battleship 'Saxony' let out a roar that shook the sky. Nine shells weighing more than a ton slammed hard at the battleship 'Ramilis'.

   This round of salvo did not score a hit. However, this does not prevent the battleship 'Saxon' from outputting firepower to the battleship 'Ramilis' at a rate of fire of one salvo per minute.

  Although, at this time, the battleships "Resolution" and "Monarchy" of the British Navy were also firing on the battleship "Saxon" in an attempt to sink the "Saxon" and save the "Ramilis". However, they have never been able to succeed.

  As for the counterattack of the battleship 'Ramilis', it was simply ignored. After the sighting equipment and ranging equipment were destroyed, the battleship 'Ramilis' could not hit the battleship 'Saxon' even at a distance of 10,000 meters. Therefore, they have become soy sauce characters from beginning to end.

   The adventure of the battleship "Saxon" finally paid off handsomely. After they narrowed the combat distance to 10,000 meters, the third round of salvo scored a hit. A 380mm artillery shell slammed into the port side of the battleship 'Ramilis', blowing up two secondary guns and igniting a fire at the same time.

   Immediately afterwards, the fifth round of salvo scored another hit. During this round of salvo, a 380mm artillery shell hit the bow of the battleship 'Ramilis'. Moreover, a piece of shrapnel got stuck on the rotating device of the No. 2 main turret of the battleship 'Ramilis', causing it to lose its ability to turn. Under such circumstances, it is equivalent to losing combat power.

  Subsequently, the battleship 'Saxony' also scored a hit. A 380mm artillery shell directly blew up the only chimney of the battleship 'Ramilis'. The collapsed chimney crushed the superstructure, and at the same time hit the No. 3 main turret at the stern heavily, making the main turret unable to continue firing.

  Although the battleship 'Ramilis' has not been sunk, it has undoubtedly been severely damaged, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it is sunk.
