Chapter 231: A Rehearsal Before the Great War

On the night of September 1, 1914, three huge battleships slowly sailed out of the Wilhelmshaven naval base. Escorted by several light cruisers and destroyers, the www.biquge.info left the port and sailed into the Atlantic. These three huge battleships are the German Navy's 'De Fleetinger-class' battle cruisers, and they are also the powerful capital ships that the German Navy has been hiding in the snow.

In order to hide their strength, they were not even sent out when they were engaged in a battle to break the diplomatic relationship. And now, in order to break the trap set by the British and make the British suffer a big loss, Qin Tian finally decided to send them out.

Commander Reinhardt of the High Seas Fleet of the German Navy? Admiral Scheer, personally commanding the operation. Therefore, with the battlecruiser 'De Fringel' as the flagship, he commanded these battlecruisers and joined the naval battle that was about to break out.

Although, it was already night. But under the bright moonlight, the figure of the 'De Fringer-class' battle cruiser still looks so tall and straight, with a strong deterrent power. In particular, the 380 mm main gun, which was shrouded in thick artillery clothing, exuded an intimidating atmosphere.

Reinhart? Admiral Scheer, standing on the bridge, looked at the huge battleship under his feet, and his mood was surging. As the commander of the High Seas Fleet, the burden on his shoulders was undoubtedly very heavy. It can be said that he shouldered the dream of the German Navy to defeat the British Navy and dominate the world's oceans. If it was a person who was not strong-willed, he might have been crushed a long time ago. But, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer did not. Because, the strong strength of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet allowed him to keep his waist straight.

"Come on, Englishman. This time, let's take a look at the true strength of the Imperial German Navy. The current Imperial German Navy is no longer the weak coastal navy it used to be. We have enough strength to defeat you, let you know the price of provoking the German Empire. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer swore secretly in his heart.

For every officer and soldier of the German Navy, it is undoubtedly a great shame for them to watch the British Navy flaunt its might on the ocean, and even to oppress Germany step by step with its strong strength. Now, they finally have the opportunity and the strength to take revenge. It's certainly something to get them excited about.

"Send a telegram to General Hipper and General Spee, and let them act according to the predetermined plan. It was up to them to defeat the four 'King George V' battlecruisers of the British. We'll attack when the Germans come up in ambush. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.

Soon, the fleet began to control the lights. The entire fleet, under the cover of night, sailed on aircraft carriers. They will break through the blockade of the British as soon as possible and enter the vast Atlantic.

In the Atlantic, the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment and the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment of the German High Seas Fleet were cruising the vast ocean, looking for targets for attack.

On the battlecruiser 'Blucher', Vice Admiral Hipper, who had fallen asleep, woke up.

"General, this is a telegram from His Excellency the Commander." The communications officer sent the telegram to Lieutenant General Hipper.

"Haha, I knew that we wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Order the fleet to make a turn at once, liaise with the 2nd Battle Cruiser Detachment, and join them as soon as possible. After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Hippel couldn't help laughing. The intelligence that Britain had mobilized a large fleet from Canada had already learned of it. It's just that he didn't dare to act rashly when he didn't get a clear order. Now that the German High Seas Fleet had officially made the decision to devour the huge fleet of the British, and had also sent the 'D-Verblinger-class' battlecruisers into battle, the German Navy's determination had undoubtedly been demonstrated.

On the battlecruiser 'Moltke' of the German Navy, Vice Admiral Spee also received Reinhardt? A telegram from Admiral Scheer. After reading the telegram, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer ordered the fleet to begin turning, ready to act according to the predetermined plan.

After sinking the battlecruiser Lion, Vice Admiral Speeth had become a star in the German Navy, and even Kaiser Wilhelm II rewarded him and decided to award him a medal himself, which made Vice Admiral Spee very excited. At the same time, he liked the feeling of sinking the enemy's capital ship even more.

Now, the British wanted to send a fleet from Canada back to the British mainland, and although it was a trap, Vice Admiral Spee was still very excited. If he can seize this opportunity, the fleet under his command may be able to achieve one or even more results. After all, the performance of the 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers is beyond doubt, and even against battleships of the same class as the British, they have a certain advantage. Not to mention the battlecruisers of the British.

Of course, if you want to pick up a bargain, then it is better to bump into the British 'Invincible' class battlecruisers and 'Indefatigable' battlecruisers. These two levels of battle cruisers are undoubtedly the most rubbish existence. If you are bumped into by them, you will definitely die.

At a time when the German Navy had already decided to eat the bait deliberately laid down by the British Navy, the British Navy did not know this. They are still implementing the plan step by step.

The two remaining of the British Navy's 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers, the 'Indefatigable' and 'Lion-class' battlecruisers, plus the 'Tiger' battlecruiser, rushed to the battlefield. This time, the operation is still led by David? Lieutenant General Betty was in charge of the command. He placed his flagship on the battlecruiser "Tiger".

In addition, the four 'Iron Duke-class' battleships of the British Navy also secretly left Scapa Bay and entered the Atlantic, rushing to the battlefield.

In this naval battle that was about to break out, the navies of Britain and Germany were put into the main force. Although it is not all the main force, it is also very powerful. And this is probably a rehearsal before the final decisive battle between the navies of the two sides.

Both of them are ambitious, and they want to inflict a heavy blow on each other in this operation. The German Navy hoped to take advantage of the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the British Navy and gain further advantages. The British Navy, on the other hand, wanted to solve the German Navy's broken fleet in one fell swoop and protect the sea transportation lines on which they depended.
