"General, orders from Washington. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info from His Excellency the President personally. Admiral Fletcher's secretary sent the telegram to him.

Admiral Fletcher took the telegram and read it quickly.

"It's time to put an end to this farce!" Admiral Fletcher lamented.

Indeed, in his opinion, this is simply a farce. The entire elite forces of the US Navy were dispatched just to give an account to the domestic people. This is undoubtedly difficult for these admirals to accept. As a soldier, their vocation is to fight for the good of their country. But now, they're like clowns. This is undoubtedly very distressing.

For Woodrow, though? President Wilson's choice, Admiral Fletcher was able to understand. Who made the current US Navy so weak? Although, their navy is already considered a world-class powerful navy. However, in front of the German Navy, it undoubtedly looked very weak. If the war starts now, they have no chance of winning at all. In order to preserve his strength, he had to choose to retreat.

"Order the fleet, prepare for retreat. Twenty minutes later, the steering begins. Admiral Fletcher ordered.

"Yes, General." The staff officer could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Admiral Fletcher had finally given such an order. Obviously, within the U.S. Navy, those officers were also unwilling to really fight the German Navy. Because, they know that there is no chance of winning at all.

The German Navy broke the fleet and was always wary of the American fleet. Naturally, the movements of the US fleet could not be concealed from them.

"General, the Americans have moved." A staff officer said.

"What?" Vice Admiral Speese immediately grabbed his binoculars and looked at the American fleet. But then he breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that the Americans wanted to make a dangerous move and launched an attack on them. But now it seems, Americans don't seem to mean that.

"Don't worry, it seems that the Americans can't hold it anymore and are going to retreat. We won this battle. Lieutenant General Shi Pei smiled.

Indeed, in this confrontation, it was Germany that won the victory. After all, the Americans were no match for Germany, and they did not dare to continue such a confrontation. Not even the courage to help the British hold back part of the forces of the German Navy. Don't dare, Lieutenant General Shi Pei can also understand. After all, if the Americans really did that. Once the main force of the German Navy has eliminated the British Royal Navy, the next target to attack must be the US Navy. With such a little strength of the US Navy, it could not resist the attack of the German Navy at all.

"Report back to China!" Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to telegraph.

When Qin Tian, Marshal Tirpitz and others received the news of the retreat of the American fleet, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that the Americans have made their choice. The British have been abandoned. So, next we just have to deal with the British. Marshal Count Tirpitz said with a smile. However, there is obvious regret on the face.

Qin Tian knew that Marshal Count Tirpitz was regretting that the Americans did not have the courage to fight the German Navy. In that case, maybe they will be able to achieve greater results.

"Your Excellency, although this time we have no chance to fight the Americans. But, next time, we'll definitely have a chance to knock them down. The Americans will not watch the empire become the hegemon of the world. They will definitely challenge the Empire. In the same way, if the empire's world hegemony is to be stable, it must suppress the United States. Therefore, the contradictions between our two countries are irreconcilable. In the future, we will inevitably have a war. Moreover, I am afraid that the scale of the war in the future will be even greater than that of the present. Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, I am confident that under your leadership, the Empire will be able to achieve the final victory. Even the Americans could never stand up to the advance of the Empire. "Marshal Count Tirpitz has a lot of confidence in Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded, although Marshal Count Tirpitz was very confident in him, the key was that he didn't have that much confidence in himself! Although, he is the crown prince of the empire, the future heir to the throne of the empire. However, Qin Tianke knew very well that Wilhelm II lived a very long life. If not, after the next war was fought, Wilhelm II still sat on the throne of the emperor. And he is still the crown prince.

"Your Excellency, since the Americans have retreated. Then, the Navy's plan against the British can also begin to be implemented. I believe that after the Americans retreated, no one in our no-sail zone dared to challenge it anymore. The British are blocked, and no one will be able to change it. Perhaps, the British themselves can't hold back and want to fight a decisive battle with us. In that case, our odds are much better. Qin Tian said.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The British now have only two ways to die. One is to be besieged by our blockade and dragged to death. The other is to fight us at any cost and try to turn the situation around. However, with such a big gap in strength, the final outcome is still doomed. "Marshal Count Tirpitz seemed confident about the future war.

Qin Tian nodded, according to the information they had received now, the capital ships of the British Navy had been completely suppressed by the Imperial Navy in terms of numbers. The British Navy's existing capital ships include five 'Revenge-class' battleships, five 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, one 'King George V-class' battleship, four 'Orion-class' battleships, two 'Giant-class' battleships, one 'Neptune' battleship, four 'St. Vincent-class' battleships and four 'Bellerophon-class' battleships, for a total of 26 ships. Although, in numbers, there were two more than the battleships of the German Navy. But in terms of performance, I'm afraid there is no comparison. In particular, the eleven in front were all battleships armed with 305 mm guns. And the German Navy had only 4 battleships armed with 305-mm guns.

In terms of battle cruisers, the British Navy had only one 'Tiger' battlecruiser, two 'Lion-class' battlecruisers, one 'Indefatigable' battlecruiser and two 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers, for a total of only six, which was equivalent to half of the German Navy's battlecruisers. Moreover, in terms of performance, it was completely suppressed by the German Navy.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Royal Navy has no chance of winning. What's more, the German Navy also has a strong submarine force and aircraft carriers to help them fight, which will make their chances of victory higher.
