From the very beginning, Lütjens had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the main fleet of the British Royal Navy, and this idea did not change in the slightest even after Bismarck awakened the spirit of the ship, but became more determined.

Compared with the heritage of an old naval power like Britain, Germany at this moment is undoubtedly just a slightly stronger child, and once it encounters the main force of the British fleet, the Prince Eugen is by no means a powerful help, and it is necessary to take into account the existence of Altmark in the fleet, these factors will definitely affect the strength of the German fleet.

Moreover, at this moment, the German navy has not completed the huge Z plan, if it can be as the Führer replied back then, the German navy will have more time to build a navy, the Z plan is undoubtedly one of the most daring shipbuilding plans in Germany and even the whole world, and its scale is large enough to make a second-rate naval country have the strength to challenge the most powerful sea power in just a few years.

However, all this changed completely at dawn on 1 September 1939, when a million-strong German army crossed the border into Poland and the naval training ship Schleswig Holstein shelled the port of Danzig at the beginning of the attack.

The apparent tranquility was easily broken, and on the morning of that day, Britain and France officially declared war on Germany, and war broke out from land to sea......

At this moment, the sister ship of the Earl Spee, the Deutschland, was cruising along the line between Greenland and Iceland, and a group of twenty-two submarines was spreading west of the British Isles.

The outbreak of war so early is definitely not good news for the Navy. Although the 30,000-ton battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gnessenor were already in service at the beginning of the year; Although the battleship Bismarck had been completed, the Tirbitz had also been launched into the sun-loading phase...... But it seems that the huge Plan Z will have to be shelved.

In the face of this situation, the only Bismarck who awakened the spirit of the ship is the hope of large German surface ships, if the huge shipbuilding program represents the future of the German Navy, then Bismarck represents the present of the German Navy!

As the only large ship spirit awakened by the German Navy, Bismarck's significance and influence were too great, and Bismarck's outstanding combat strength in the Danish naval battle further strengthened Lütjans's strength.

"If it's you, it's absolutely fine, right?" Looking out the window at the figure standing on the deck, Lutyans muttered as he took a sip of the coffee in his cup.

Sebastian also subconsciously followed the direction of Lütjans's line of sight, and cast the faint searchlight line of the searchlight of the Prince Eugen not far away, and Sabastian barely saw who the figure was.

"Miss Bismarck?" Sebastian spoke out in surprise.

Although the bow design of the Bismarck-class is different from that of the vertical bow and the inclined bow, her Atlantic bow not only has a larger bow volume and a large buoyancy reserve, but also because the angle of the bow floats with the rise of the freestring, so when the bow is submerged in the water, the buoyancy increases in geometric progression, so that the problem of the ship's "burying its head" can be avoided to the greatest extent, and the ship's anti-sinking performance and longitudinal (pitching) stability in high sea conditions can be improved.

Even so, looking at the waves outside the window, Sebastian was a little worried, "But ......"

Lütjans shook his head helplessly, "The will of the ship spirit is not something you and I can shake. After Captain Cheng Hao carried out her mission, Miss Bismarck would be alone on the deck as long as she had time, and no one knew what she was thinking......"

The black burst in, the roar was completely replaced by hoarseness, and the whistling and arrogance brought by nature collided head-on with a wanton state, and under the impact of waves wave after wave, there was a girl standing on the deck of the bow, letting the sea water brush under her feet again and again, she was standing so straight, it seemed that even the waves were impressed by the girl's heroic appearance, the original violent waves became very docile when they met the girl, and the gentle sea water brushed the girl's feet.

The bad weather didn't seem to have any effect on the girl, she just stood like this, staring at the dark front and sighed, in order to avoid possible encounters with British reconnaissance planes, the searchlights of the entire fleet were not all turned on, and they could only rely on the faint light of Prince Eugen to guide the direction of the entire fleet, and the original light rain gradually became heavier, hitting the girl's shoulders even wetter, "In this bad sea condition, the British carrier-based aircraft may not be able to take off." ”

"But in such bad weather, when will the captain just arrive......" Bismarck looked up at the sky, and although she could not see anything in the gloomy sky, she was still accustomed to looking up like this, "It's really dark, Captain, you can't even see the stars......

"Wait, what's that!" Thanks to Bismarck's blessing as a ship spirit, she spotted the unusual black spot in the sky in the distance before the crew on duty.

"Hallucinations?" Bismarck muttered, and then denied the idea, how could he, as a ship spirit, have such an illusion?

frowned, and with Bismarck's thoughts, the searchlight on the huge hull suddenly turned on, and Bismarck at this moment didn't care about the order given by Lütjans, if it was really as he guessed......

"Could it be a swordfish?" Seeing that black spot in the sky continue to magnify, Bismarck undoubtedly confirmed his guess that it was a Swordfish torpedo bomber!

Although the Swordfish flies slowly, thanks to its biplane design, the aircraft gains more lift than a monoplane at the same take-off distance, and the take-off and landing and flight stability are shorter, the flight range is longer, and the take-off and landing and flight stability are higher.

Coupled with the specially designed folding wings of the aircraft, the aircraft does not occupy much space on the ship, and the superposition of these factors allows the British aircraft carrier to carry more carrier-based aircraft and enhance the attack capability of a single aircraft carrier, and at this moment, a Swordfish loaded with a 388-pound TNT explosive torpedo, like a shark that has found its prey, is diving down in the direction of Bismarck at great speed.

"Damn it......" Bismarck gritted her teeth, and while controlling the air cannon to suppress it, she began to turn one of the turrets that began to control the bow......

At this moment, Bismarck understood that a vicious battle was waiting for him in front of him......

"Sure enough, can't it be so easy......"
