Less than 20 minutes after the battle with the Hamburg, the Descartes had lost its combat effectiveness, the entire battleship had been reduced to a flaming torch, the battleship was riddled with holes and a severe tilt, and in desperation, the French captain announced that he had abandoned the ship.

"Let's do it for now, save face for the French." Looking at the French warship in the distance, which had gradually sunk into the sea, Scheer, who had won the first battle in his life, was still very satisfied. Not to his own detriment, Scheer knew that the encounter had come from an accident. In order to have a better ending in the future, Scheer is still more generous to the enemy who has lost his combat effectiveness.

"Let the supply ship East Africa go to rescue the people who fell into the water, and we will help the prime minister!" Scheer, who was in a good mood, decisively took his battleship and sailed towards the battlefield not far away, and at this time, after a period of shooting, Charlemagne gradually couldn't stand it!

WHEN A 254MM HEAVY ARTILLERY SHELL COMPLETELY JAMMED THE CHARLEMAGNE'S NO. 2 TURRET, THE LATEST FRENCH WARSHIP WAS VERY LITTLE THREATENING TO THE MARQUIS BISMARCK, RELYING ON THE ONLY TWO REMAINING 12-INCH GUNS, AT A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 5,500 METERS, IF YOU WANT TO HIT THE OPPONENT, YOU REALLY HAVE TO RELY ON RP.

"General, the Descartes is finished, and we can't get out now." An officer said in horror as he pointed to the battleship in the distance that was spewing tongues of fire.

"General, there was a fire in the auxiliary gun gallery on the port side, and more than half of the gun gallery was destroyed, and the fire was a little uncontrollable!"

The successive bad news made the commander of the French fleet despair, he really didn't expect that a simple shock mission could lead to such a result! His fleet was caught off guard and suffered an unimaginable defeat! Three French warships, with a total tonnage of 25,000, were defeated in less than 1 hour!

If it weren't for the rumbling of cannons from outside, and the violent vibrations and the sound of torn armor after the battleship was hit from time to time, Vice Admiral Pierre would have thought he was dreaming! And with the arrival of the Hamburg, the battle turned even more one-sided.

The two German battleships began to close the distance between each other, and at the closest time, the Marquis Bismarck was only about 2,000 meters away from each other! At this distance, the heavy artillery fire of the two German battleships was brought to the extreme! EVEN IN JUST ONE MINUTE, 4 254MM AND 11-INCH SHELLS HIT THIS POOR BATTLESHIP! And it's all concentrated in the tail!

In an instant, explosions came from the stern of the Charlemagne, and even half of the stern was cut off by the violent explosion! The entire aft deck of the hull was completely twisted, billowing smoke and flames rose from the damage, and a column of smoke tens of meters high rose from the aft.

But the most lethal blow came from the Hamburg's 11-inch shell, which hit the ship's steering room directly! After easily tearing through the outer armor, the personnel and all the machinery inside were torn to pieces. The majestic Charlemagne instantly drifted on the surface of the sea like a repine-broken dog.

"The Charlemagne is no longer capable of fighting back, let's take it out with a torpedo, shall we?" This inquiry came from the Hamburg.

"Wait, let's get in touch with the French." Hipper said after looking at the battleship in the distance, which had tilted a little and continued to stagger along.

"Remember, you're going to be a general in the future! And as a general, in addition to doing a good job in military affairs, you must also learn to think from a political point of view, because the military itself is the continuation of politics, and a soldier who does not understand politics is unqualified! Hipper remembered what his prince had said to him alone at the send-off reception before he departed.

"This battle is a little inexplicable!" Until now, Hipper, who was in a relaxed spirit, didn't know what caused this engagement, how the hell those two damn French transports exploded! "Ask Scheer, what happened to the French transport?"

"They didn't listen to the advice, they went into a minefield, and then they hit the mines one after another." When Hipper saw the message from the flag in the distance, he suddenly cried and laughed. "This is definitely the most absurd casus belli in the last 100 years!" The French accidentally ran into a Portuguese minefield and then engaged the German fleet.

"Let the fleet cease fire, and then send this information to the French, we should think about the aftermath." Whether the fight continued or not, the German fleet had become the de facto victor, and the reasons for this exchange of fire were so absurd that Hipper really did not think that the misunderstanding should be allowed to continue to expand.

"The Germans seem to have stopped shooting. They are moving away from us! When the French naval officers and men, who had suffered heavy casualties, saw that the two warships in the distance had stopped firing, they were amazed and a sense of joy arose in the aftermath of the disaster.

"Surely our fleet has arrived, kill the damned Germans." A soldier from Lorraine flails his fist angrily at the German fleet in the distance.

"What about coming? We have lost our combat effectiveness, and even two more battleships will not necessarily be the opponents of the Germans, not to mention that they should not be here at this point in time. Pierre was a little confused, but he knew that there would be no more reinforcements in this area!

"The Germans are signaling, they say." The dutiful captain looked at the German fleet signal flag in the distance and said: "They say that our transport ship has actually hit a minefield of the Portuguese, and the German fleet has only been here for three hours, and there is no time to lay mines." ”

"Poof." When Lieutenant General Pierre heard this, he felt that his eyes were dark, and a fishy liquid rushed up his throat, and then he knew nothing, and there were faint bursts of anxious shouts and walking sounds in his ears. At this time, Pierre really wished that he could fall like this and never wake up again. He can't afford it! Then, his consciousness sank into darkness completely.

"Send Mr. Lieutenant General down to rest for a while, and I'll take care of the rest." Morality. Captain Scock sighed and said, now that the battle is over, both sides have lost their reason to fight, since the Germans are willing to talk, then Skok must be responsible for the soldiers of his ship.

"Arrange, I will personally go and talk to the Germans, and the battleship will be handed over to you, remember to exercise restraint at all times, and let the dignity of the French Navy not be insulted!" Captain Scok patted his deputy on the shoulder.
