In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sea, a piece of golden light, everything looked so beautiful. It's a pity that the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, the corpses floating on the sea, and the burning and sinking warship completely destroyed this beautiful scenery.
Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, Commander of the High Seas Fleet of the German Navy, Lieutenant General Hipper, Chief of Staff of the High Seas Fleet, and Lieutenant General Spee, Commander of the Breaking Fleet, all gathered on the battleship "Bavaria". All three had smiles on their faces. A day of fierce fighting, although it made everyone very tired. However, being able to win this decisive battle at sea made them very happy. From now on, no navy in the world can pose a threat to the German navy.
"Your Excellency, Commander, it has been confirmed that all the capital ships of the British were sunk by us. The battlecruiser 'Tiger' was sunk by carrier-based aircraft. Some small and medium warships escaped. Our energy They are all placed on the British capital ships, and those small and medium-sized warships will not be taken care of for a while." Hipper said with a smile.
Admiral Reinhardt Scheer nodded: "It is very good to be able to eliminate all the British capital ships. Those small and medium-sized warships, just run away, and it will not affect the overall situation."
"Your Excellency, Commander, we also captured four French battleships and two Italian battleships. However, the performance of those battleships is not very good, and they cannot be compared with the battleships of the Imperial Navy. In the previous naval battles Among them, this has been proved." Lieutenant General Spee said.
The battleships of the French Navy and the Italian Navy are both typical multi-turret battleships, basically with more than 12 main guns. However, the weak armor is flawed. The caliber of the main gun is also relatively small, which cannot be compared with the main gun of the German Navy with a large caliber and a large aspect ratio.
"The battleships of the French and Italians, take them back home first. After repairing them, put them there. After the war is over, find a buyer to sell them!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.
"Sell it? Although the battleships of the French and Italians are not very good, they can still be used to make do with them! Wouldn't it be a pity to sell them?" Lieutenant General Spee said.
"Not only the captured battleships will be sold, but also many of our own battleships will be sold. Before this naval battle started, Your Excellency the Marshal discussed this issue with me. It is estimated that among the capital ships in active service, except for the 'King' class Except for the 'battleships,' Bavaria-class battleships, 'Mackenson-class' battlecruisers and 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruisers, the rest of the battleships will be sold!" Enter Reinhard Scheer will say.
"What?" Lieutenant Admiral Spee and Lieutenant General Hipper were both stunned. They didn't expect to sell so many battleships. In that case, the German Navy would have only 10 battleships and 6 battlecruisers left. This scale is really too small.
"Your Excellency, are there only a few battleships left, are they enough? At that time, we will have vast overseas colonies to protect. There are also Americans on the other side of the ocean who are eyeing us. Without a strong navy, there is no It is impossible to protect our overseas interests and suppress our enemies!" Lieutenant General Hipper said.
"Reducing the number of capital ships does not mean weakening the strength of the navy. Don't forget, the performance of the aircraft carrier in this naval battle is amazing. This is still the case when the Imperial Navy only has two aircraft carriers in service. Soon, the next The four aircraft carriers of the first level will be in service. The construction of the next level of aircraft carriers is expected to start soon. Aircraft carriers will replace battleships and battlecruisers and become the real main force of the Imperial Navy. Therefore, as long as the Imperial Navy is in service There are more and more aircraft carriers, and the strength of the Imperial Navy can still be guaranteed!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.
Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee both nodded. They already have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers. If the Imperial Navy can equip more aircraft carriers, then the Imperial Navy is still the most powerful. This will not change. It's just that, compared to battleships and battlecruisers, aircraft carriers are not so powerful and majestic.
With so many capital ships missing for a while, Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee felt really uncomfortable.
"In addition, according to the information we have received, the British now have many powerful battleships and battlecruisers under construction. The British have fully learned the lessons of the failure of the last naval battle. Most of the rebuilt battleships have strengthened their defenses and their firepower Very powerful. However, with the whole of the UK under our blockade, those battleships and battlecruisers basically cannot be completed and put into service. After we defeat the UK, if there is a chance, we can use these unfinished All the warships are captured. At that time, on the basis of these warships, a large number of battleships can be obtained with very little money. This will further expand the strength of the Imperial Navy." Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer said.
Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spey suddenly had their eyes lit up. The British are building battleships and battlecruisers, and they know it well. If the British have been busy for a long time, but finally made a wedding dress for Germany, this is undoubtedly a very exciting thing.
"Your Excellency, Commander, this is undoubtedly a good idea. By then, the strength of the Imperial Navy will still be number one in the world!" Lieutenant General Spee said excitedly.
"Okay, after calculating the results of the battle, let's report to the country! Your Majesty the Emperor must be waiting for our success report." Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. The results of the battle have basically been calculated. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be very happy to hear the news of our victory." Lieutenant General Hipper said.
General Reinhard Scheer and Lieutenant General Spee nodded repeatedly. Indeed, this time, the Imperial Navy once again won a brilliant victory. Thoroughly stabilized the status of the world's hegemony of the imperial navy. The emperor of the empire must be very happy to hear such good news.
When the imperial navy received a loud victory report and sent it to Qin Tian, Qin Tian was very happy. The heart that has been hanging around can finally be put back into the stomach. He knew that with this great victory of the Imperial Navy, there was no doubt that the Empire won the final victory of this war.
