The French and Italian navies fled, and the combined fleet fell apart in an instant. After losing the six battleships of the French Navy and the Italian Navy, the British Navy was left with only 14 capital ships. It would be a fool's dream to use these 14 capital ships against the 34 capital ships of the German Navy.

In the end, there will only be one result, that is, all of their warships were sunk by the German Navy, and none of them could escape. After all, the German Navy had 11 more battle cruisers. The capital ships of the British Navy could not escape the pursuit of these battle cruisers, even if they tried to escape.

"General, what should we do now?" David? Lieutenant General Betty asked, a little flustered.

"What else can I do? The French and Italians fled, and will our remaining battleships still be able to fight the Germans? "John? Admiral Jericho's face was desperate.

Originally, they were already at an absolute disadvantage. Now that the French and Italians have fled again, they have even less chance of winning. It is foreseeable that they have already lost this battle, and they have lost completely, and there is no chance to reverse the situation again.

And after losing this naval battle, they are also very clear about what the consequences will be. In this naval battle, the British Empire also had no chance to turn the tables around.

The kingdoms of France and Italy, after this battle, would soon surrender to the Germans. The reason why they waited until this time was to wait for the outcome of this naval battle. If the naval battle is won, they still have a chance. No matter how bad it is, it is possible to strive for a decent peace. It will not be slaughtered too much by the Germans. However, the defeat of this naval battle is tantamount to cutting off all hope. They had no choice but to surrender to the Germans. What's more, surrendering earlier and ending the war earlier would also be of great benefit to their country. The longer the war drags on, the greater the cost they will pay in the war.

After the surrender of France and the Kingdom of Italy, the Germans could concentrate their forces against the British Empire. The British Empire also had only two paths, one was to surrender to Germany. However, the conditions of the Germans must have been very harsh. At that time, the British Empire will lose too many benefits and will directly fall from a world hegemon to a small third-rate country. The other is to fight to the death. But even that would not have prevented the fall of the British Empire. The mighty German Army, with the support of the Navy, would cross the Channel and land on British soil. Britain itself will be scorched in the middle of the war. I don't know how many people will die in the war. Eventually, the British Empire will cease to exist.

"Order the fleet, disperse and break through! We have lost this battle. If you continue to fight, there will only be one result, and that is to be completely sunk by the Germans. Rather than let everyone die here, it is better to break out, and there will always be people who will be able to escape back to the UK. I hope God will bless you and let as many people escape back as possible! "John? Admiral Jericho sighed.

David? Lieutenant General Betty closed her eyes in pain. In order for the British Empire to win, they have exhausted all means. But unfortunately, in the end, it still ended in failure. Such a result is really unacceptable to him.

But the facts are the facts, and there is no room for David? Lieutenant General Betty did not accept it.

"May God bless the British Empire!" In addition to praying to God, David? Lieutenant General Betty seems to have no other ideas.

The order to disperse the breakout was given, and the remaining warships of the British Navy began to turn around. At the same time, the speed is constantly improving. In order to be able to escape the possible pursuit of the German navy in the future, those captains even did not hesitate to order the boiler to be forced to ventilate, and fight to scrap the boiler, but also to increase the speed. They knew that only in this way would it be possible to escape. As for whether the service life of the boiler will be affected by this, no one cares. After all, if you can't escape, you'll be sunk in the end. In that case, it doesn't matter if the boiler is intact or not.

The remaining more than a dozen capital ships of the British Navy began to flee one after another. Those small and medium-sized warships also withdrew with these capital ships. The current Royal Navy has long lost the demeanor of the former sea hegemon, just like a group of lost dogs.

The reaction of the British, however, made the German Navy somewhat unresponsive. They had thought that the British Navy would fight to the death. After all, this is already the last chance for the British Navy. If you miss this opportunity, there will never be a similar opportunity in the future.

But it did not occur that at the last moment, the British would choose to flee.

However, this is undoubtedly a great benefit for the German Navy. British battleships that escaped, were more likely to be sunk. At the same time, there was less threat to the German Navy.

"By this time, the British still wanted to escape. Do they think we're going to let them go? Order all ships to pursue the British, and in any case, to kill as many of these British warships as possible. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer ordered.

"Yes, General."

"In addition, send a telegram to His Royal Highness, asking him to send carrier-based aircraft to attack. Since the British want to escape, let's see if they can escape the pursuit of our carrier-based aircraft! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer gave a new order.

The speed of the battleship was only more than twenty knots. However, the speed of the aircraft can reach hundreds of knots. Under the pursuit of the planes, the British battleship could not have escaped.

The only thing to worry about is probably the arrival of night. It's only three or four hours before it gets dark. As soon as it got dark, the British battleships could escape under the cover of night. Therefore, if the Germans wanted to destroy all the British warships, they could not let the battle drag on until dark.

Reinhart? Immediately after Admiral Schell's order was given, the German navy launched a pursuit battle. At this time, the role of battle cruiser formations became prominent. The speed of a battlecruiser can be faster than that of a battleship. And the British, except for one battlecruiser 'Tiger', the rest were battleships. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for the British Navy to escape the pursuit of the German Navy.

This decisive battle at sea suddenly turned into a pursuit battle. Now that the German Navy has already won, all it has to do now is to maximize the gains as much as possible.
