"General, it can already be concluded that those three battleships belong to the British 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, and they are all the latest battleships. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info," an officer excitedly reported to Lieutenant General Spee.

"'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships? I'm very curious, though, how they ended up here! The corners of Lieutenant General Shi Pei's mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared.

"General, the battlefield of the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment and the British Battlecruiser Detachment is just to the north. It is clear that the British were preparing to use these three battleships to carry out a sneak attack on our 1st battlecruiser detachment. The officer laughed too.

"Haha! It seems that we were lucky enough to have broken through the trickery of the British. The 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships are the latest battleships of the British, and our 'D-Fringel-class' battlecruisers will not be worse than them, right? Lieutenant General Spee asked.

"General, according to the information we have obtained, the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships are armed with four twin 42-caliber 381 mm guns. In terms of armor, its main armor belt is up to 330 mm thick, the turret armor is 330 mm, and the conning tower armor is 280 mm. The British's 42 times caliber 381 mm guns were much less powerful than the 50 times caliber 380 mm guns of our 'D-Ringel-class' battlecruisers. In terms of defense, the main armor thickness of the 'De Verblinger-class' battlecruisers was 350 mm, which was thicker than the British's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battlecruisers. A staff officer said.

"That is, our 'D-Fringer-class' battlecruisers have a stronger combined combat power?" Lieutenant General Spee said.

"Yes, General. However, the gap is not very large. Their 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships will also pose a threat to us. ”

Lieutenant General Shi Pei nodded: "Since this is the case, let's start fighting!" Catch up and intercept them. Then, kill them. We have six battlecruisers, two to fight one, to finish them out as fast as possible! ”

"Yes, General." The officers replied one after another.

The six battle cruisers of the 2nd Battle Cruiser Detachment of the German Navy quickly caught up. Although, the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships were not slow either. However, in front of the battlecruisers, which were known for their speed, they were still at a disadvantage.

At this time, the commander of the 2nd battleship detachment of the British Navy, Rear Admiral Benjamin, was also firing.

"Damn, how could you come across a German battleship here? Or a whole six battle cruisers? Major General Benjamin was very annoyed. Originally, his mission was to sneak up on the 1st battle cruiser detachment of the German Navy. In his opinion, his sneak attack was highly likely to be successful, given that his own battle cruiser detachment had already attracted the attention of the 1st battle cruiser detachment of the German Navy. However, I didn't expect it to be like this.

"General, the German battlecruisers are catching up, what should we do?"

Major General Benjamin's brows were even tighter.

At the speed of a 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battlecruiser, there is definitely no escape. Then, it seems that there is only one way left for them, and that is to fight with all their might.

"The German battle cruisers were very powerful, not only fast, but also terrifying in defense. But how could there be such a perfect battleship in the world? Even the battle cruisers of the British Empire had to make defensive concessions while maintaining speed and firepower. So, the battle cruisers of the Germans, too, must have been like this. In previous naval battles, there were no battlecruisers that were able to sink the Germans, mainly because our firepower was not strong enough. Now the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battlecruisers are armed with 381 mm guns, which will definitely penetrate the defenses of the German battlecruisers. Therefore, even if the German battlecruisers had twice the advantage, if we really had to fight, we might not have no chance of winning at all. Major General Benjamin secretly analyzed.

Of course, he did not know that the battle cruisers of the German Navy were mainly built on new power equipment in order to increase speed and at the same time strengthen firepower and defense. Heavy oil boilers and new steam turbines enabled the ships to have abundant power and ensure high speeds.

"Send a telegram to General Betty that we have encountered six battle cruisers of the Germans, and now we are no longer able to reinforce them." Major General Benjamin ordered.

In such a situation, he naturally had no way to rush to David? Lieutenant General Betty converged. What's more, even if they converge, they can't change anything, and they are still at an absolute disadvantage. It would even put them under siege from the Germans. Only his 2nd Battleship Detachment, defeating the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment of the German Navy, was able to turn the tide.

"Yes, General."

"Order the ships, reduce their speed, and prepare for battle! Tell the officers and men of the heroic Royal Navy that we cannot escape now, and for the honor of the British Empire, we must ask the Germans to fight, and only by defeating them will we have a chance of survival! Major General Benjamin ordered.

"Yes, General."

After the order was given, the three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships of the British Navy began to reduce their speed and line up in battle formation.

The actions of the British Navy were very satisfying to Admiral Spee, who had been following them.

"Order the ships and prepare for battle. Since the British are not ready to flee, let's fight them in the open! Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

In any case, in this battle, the German navy had a great advantage. The combat effectiveness of the three 'D-Flinger-class' battlecruisers was not inferior to the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battlecruisers, and at the same time, there were three 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers, which made them almost invincible.

Although, the "Queen Elizabeth-class" battlecruisers of the British Navy had armor up to 330 mm thick. However, the Moltke-class battlecruisers were equipped with 50 times the caliber 343 mm guns, which were still able to penetrate them.

With both sides intent on fighting, the two battle lines began to close rapidly. Soon, the distance was reduced to 15,000 kilometers.

"Fire!"

It was still the German Navy that took the lead in firing, and the three 380-mm guns of the 'De Fringer class' began to roar, smashing shells weighing more than a ton into the three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships of the British Navy. Three 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers also opened fire on their heels.
