Jagged Germany

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  In the Atlantic Ocean, a fierce battle is going on. The three "Blücher-class" battlecruisers of the German Navy and the six battleships of the British Navy were inseparable.

  Although the British Navy has an absolute advantage in the number of capital ships. But in the naval battle, they still failed to take advantage of it. The battlecruisers of the German Navy are fast, and the battle distance is gradually extended from the very beginning. Soon, the combat distance increased to 15,000 meters. At this distance, the warships of the German Navy can maintain a high hit rate with their advanced fire control system. But compared to before, the British Navy is a little bit worse. But because of their numerical advantage, they can do two against one, which gives the British fleet comrades a great advantage.

   "Boom!"

  A 305mm artillery shell fired from the battlecruiser "Blücher" hit the battleship "Nevada". The shell directly hit the bow main turret of the battleship 'Nevada'.

   Unfortunately, the shells failed to penetrate the armor of the main turret. The armor of the "Nevada-class" battleships of the US Navy is quite thick. Especially the main turret armor, which is as thick as 457mm. Under normal circumstances, such armor cannot be penetrated at all. Even the 380mm main gun of the "Bavaria-class" battleship of the German Navy can only be penetrated at a relatively short distance. Not to mention that the main guns of the battleship "Blücher" are all 305 mm. Even with a main gun of fifty times the caliber, there is still nothing to do with the armor of these turtle warships.

  After the shell exploded, the main turret of the USS Nevada was safe and sound. It's just that the huge vibration and impact shocked the gunners in the turret to death. Such an injury is nothing at all. After replacing the spare gunner, it can quickly resume firing.

  Lieutenant General Martin stood on the bridge and witnessed the explosion. When the turret was hit, his heart was almost in his throat. After the smoke cleared, he couldn't help laughing.

"Although the other performances of the American warships are not good, their defense is really abnormal. In this respect, they are much stronger than the Royal Navy's warships. If it were the Royal Navy's warships, I'm afraid It must have been severely injured!" Lieutenant General Martin was secretly stunned.

  Of course, for them, there is no doubt that there are only advantages and no disadvantages. The armor is thick, which means that the battleship has a stronger defense. In battle, it is even more difficult to be sunk. In this naval battle, they will have a greater advantage.

   On the other side, the officers and soldiers of the German Navy were also dumbfounded. When the explosion broke out on the "Nevada" battleship, the officers and soldiers cheered. But then, when they saw that there was nothing wrong with the battleship "Nevada", the German naval officers and soldiers were suddenly dumbfounded.

   "My God! Didn't it penetrate? The 305mm main gun with fifty times the caliber couldn't penetrate the main turret of the American warship? Their defense is too strong!" an officer exclaimed.

   Major General Lübeck's face became very ugly. He knew that they were at a greater disadvantage now. It may not be so easy to defeat the enemy.

   "The American tortoise battleship really deserves its reputation. However, the armor of the main turret is thick, which does not mean that other armor can also resist it." Major General Lübeck said.

  The defense concept of the U.S. Navy is to focus on defense, that is, to install thick armor on key parts such as turrets, waterlines, power cabins, and conning towers. The rest of the parts can be saved, or even run naked. It does not mean admitting that such a design concept is undoubtedly correct. Because, the warships of the German Navy actually adopted this design concept.

  A battleship, if it is hit in a naval battle, it will be battered and riddled with holes. But as long as the key parts are not fatally damaged, it is difficult to be sunk. Even the combat power will not suffer too much loss.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The battle became more and more fierce. The main guns of both sides were roaring crazily, and the heavy shells slammed into the opponent's battleship fiercely. There were jets of soaring water splashed on the sea, as if a whale was spraying water.

   "Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded on the starboard side of the battleship 'New York' of the US Navy. A 305mm artillery shell fired from the battlecruiser 'Von der Tann' successfully hit the side of the battleship 'New York'. broadside. After the shell exploded, a 127mm secondary gun of the battleship "New York" was blown away, and a bunch of secondary battery shells were also detonated at the same time. It caused a raging fire on the side of the battleship.

   "Damn it! I was hit again. If this goes on, it won't work. Tell the main turrets of each ship to aim at one point. We don't have so many shells to waste." Lieutenant General Martin was a little anxious.

   After all, now it is just facing three battlecruisers of the German Navy, and the battle has just begun. Once the main force of the German navy enters the battle one after another, the battle will last for a long time. If too many shells are wasted, they will not be able to participate in the next battle. In this case, I am afraid that their plans will be greatly affected. After all, these warships from the United States have become their main force.

   "Yes, General." The staff officer issued the order to the ships. All officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy know the importance of the outcome of this naval battle to the British Empire. Once it loses, the British Empire will be completely finished, and there will be no more chances. Therefore, they must do their best to win.

   However, even if you are determined, you may not be able to hit the enemy's warship. After all, there are too many unexpected factors in naval battles.

   "Boom!"

   There was a violent explosion, and the battlecruiser 'Blücher' couldn't help but shake violently. Major General Lubeck, if he hadn't grabbed the handrail, he would probably have fallen directly on the deck.

   "Damn it, we were hit!" Major General Lübeck's face suddenly became very ugly.

   "Report the loss!" Major General Lübeck roared loudly.

   After a while, the officer reported: "General, the No. 3 main turret at the rear was hit. The entire main turret was destroyed."

   "Bastard!" Major General Lübeck couldn't help cursing. The loss of a main turret caused the battlecruiser "Blücher" to lose one-third of its firepower. This made them, who were already at a disadvantage, now at an even greater disadvantage.
