In the eastern seas of Scotland, the Grand Fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire and the High Seas Fleet of the German Empire are engaged in the largest naval battle in the history of mankind. More than 200 ships were invested by both sides www.biquge.info, and more than 100,000 officers and men participated in the battle. Huge ships made of steel collided wildly in this sea area.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Those huge steel warships were firing frantically, and heavy cannons were smashing into each other, trying to sink the opponent's warship. The cannonballs smashed on the water, splashing columns of water into the sky.

The situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable for the British Navy. Although the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet increased its speed to its maximum speed, it was still being hit under the siege of 24 capital ships of the German Navy on two battle lines.

In particular, the battleships at the back of the battle line were under siege by many capital ships of the German Navy, and their situation was quite difficult.

The battleships 'Canada' and 'Hercules' of the British Navy were such unlucky eggs. The siege of the German Navy with the battleship "Regent Louitpold", the battleship "Nassau", the battleship "West**", the battleship "Rhineland", the battleship "Posen", and three battlecruisers of the "Mackensen-class" and the battlecruiser "Lützov". This is undoubtedly a catastrophe for these two battleships!

The battleship 'Canada' was also a foreign trade battleship, with a full load displacement of more than 32,000 tons and was armed with five twin 356 mm guns. This kind of firepower is undoubtedly very powerful. However, like other foreign trade ships, the armor of the battleship 'Canada' was very weak, the armor thickness of the main armor belt of the waterline was only 228 mm, the armor of the turret was only 254 mm, and the armor of the conning tower was only 280 mm. Such a defense, in the face of the main guns of the battleships of the German Navy, was undoubtedly vulnerable. This is undoubtedly a typical British battleship, heavy on firepower and light on defense.

The battleship "Hercules" is the second ship of the British Navy's "Giant-class" battleships, with a displacement of only more than 20,000 tons, equipped with five twin 305 mm main guns, and the armor is still very weak, the thickest main armor belt is only 280 mm, and the front of the turret and the armor of the command tower are also only 280 mm.

The battleships "Canada" and "Hercules", with such weak defenses, were so difficult to hold out under the siege of the capital ships of the German Navy.

"Oh God! What are we going to do? The Germans gathered so many capital ships to besiege us! "The captain of the battleship 'Canada' has a face that is about to turn green. Seeing those shells constantly falling around his battleship was undoubtedly a great test for his psyche.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the battleship 'Canada' shook violently. The captain was fortunate to grab the table fixed in the command tower immediately, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground. However, his face at the moment had turned pale. He knew that his battleship had been hit.

"Report! We were hit by a 380-mm shot from the Germans. The entire stern was knocked out. A staff officer reported.

"Bastard, get to the loss control now!" The captain roared. 380 mm shells! This was a completely fatal blow to the weakly armored battleship 'Canada'.

However, before the captain's roar could fall, the 'Canada' was hit again. Shells fired from the battlecruiser "Mackensen" and the battlecruiser "Prince Frederick" of the German Navy hit the unfortunate battleship almost simultaneously. Two 380-mm shells, which pierced directly through the hull of the battleship 'Canada', exploded inside the battleship. The power was so great that it blew up all the internal cabins. What's worse is that a shell also broke the keel of the battleship 'Canada'.

This immediately caused fatal damage to the battleship 'Canada'. Soon, with a 'click', the keel of the battleship "Canada" broke. This led directly to the breaking of the battleship 'Canada' in two. In less than two minutes, the battleship sank into the sea. Of the more than 1,100 officers and men on the battleship, none survived.

After the battleship "Canada" was sunk, the battleship "Hercules", which was at the rear of the battle line, was immediately besieged by several battleships of the German Navy. As a result, the battleship "Hercules" could not hold out for long under the siege. In less than ten minutes, the battleship "Hercules" was hit many times, and the entire battleship was on fire. At the same time, there were loopholes everywhere, which led to a large flooding of the battleship. Soon, the battleship "Hercules" followed in the footsteps of the battleship "Canada" and sank into the sea.

Two battleships were sunk in quick succession, making the situation even worse for the Royal Navy.

At present, there are only four 'Revenge-class' battleships left in the Royal Navy, one 'King George V' battleship and three 'Orion-class' battleships. Moreover, these battleships were also in danger under the siege of the superior capital ships of the German Navy.

"Your Excellency, the situation is now even more unfavorable for us. The battleships "Canada" and "Hercules" were sunk, and we were left with only eight battleships. And our enemy still has thirty-six capital ships, more than four times as many as ours. If you want to make it into the evening, I'm afraid it's unlikely. "David? Lieutenant General Betty's face was already pale without a trace of blood, and the whole person was as if he was suffering from a serious illness.

John? Admiral Jericho nodded. Even though it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, it was only a few hours before it got dark. However, these few hours were undoubtedly difficult for the Royal Navy. The lead ships of the German Navy, during this time, would fire constantly. They simply can't hold out that long.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is not a matter for us to remain under the flanking of the Germans like this. It was necessary to find a way to break through the encirclement of the Germans. Only then will it be possible for us to escape. "David? Lieutenant General Betty continued.

"Do you mean to use small and medium-sized warships to launch lightning strikes?" John? Admiral Jericho said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, this is the only way. Only then will we be able to break through! "David? Betty looked determined.

John? Admiral Jericho thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
