Chapter 444: Main Battle (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

On the aircraft carrier "Pioneer", the flagship of the German Navy's aircraft carrier group, the commander of the formation, Marshal Prince Heinrich, was waiting for the group to return. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Although, in the previous training, the performance of the carrier-based aircraft unit was very good. However, he was also a little worried before he really succeeded. After all, this is a real battle, not a previous exercise training.

However, the appearance of the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet this time can be described as perfect. 24 fighters and 72 torpedo attack aircraft took off from the two aircraft carriers and directly sank six battleships of the British Navy, but they did not lose a single one. Because the British fleet simply did not have weapons capable of firing at the air, these carrier-based aircraft could swagger away after launching an attack.

An hour later, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft to take off returned one after another. At the same time, Marshal Prince Heinrich also learned about the battle. After knowing that they had sunk the British Navy's battleship 'Bellerophon' and also severely damaged the battleships 'Magnificent' and 'Reckless', Marshal Prince Heinrich's heart finally returned to his stomach. The first carrier-based aircraft to take off, but half of them were fighters and half of them were torpedo attack aircraft. The second batch of carrier-based aircraft that took off were all torpedo attack aircraft. You don't have to think about it to know that the second batch of carrier-based aircraft will definitely achieve greater results.

Sure enough, when the second batch of carrier-based aircraft had not yet returned, Marshal Prince Heinrich learned of their results. Not only the battleships 'Magnificent' and 'Reckless' were sunk, but also three 'St. Vincent-class' battleships. This is undoubtedly a very perfect victory for the aircraft carrier fleet.

On the battleship 'Bavaria', the flagship of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer's face was full of smiles.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft is really the absolute main force in future naval warfare! Now just carrier-based aircraft, which can only carry light aviation torpedoes, are able to play such a big role. When carrier-based aircraft capable of carrying medium torpedoes and heavy torpedoes are developed in the future, won't the power of carrier-based aircraft be further enhanced? Thankfully, the Imperial Navy was once again ahead of the rest of the world. Before they could think of this, we already had the most mature and powerful aircraft carrier formation in the world. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer sighed.

As the commander of the High Seas Fleet, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer admired Qin Tian's forward-looking vision very much. The German Navy has become extremely powerful because of Qin Tian, otherwise, they would never have had the opportunity to beat the British Royal Navy like now. Not to mention, Qin Tian also planned the future development path of the German Navy, which will make it easier for the German Navy to consolidate its maritime supremacy in the future.

Once the German Navy has a larger aircraft carrier fleet and more advanced carrier-based aircraft, will other countries still have a chance to challenge the maritime supremacy of the German Empire? That's obviously impossible.

Although, the German Navy now has only two aircraft carriers. However, the next batch of four new aircraft carriers is already under construction. The new aircraft carrier will have a larger displacement, be able to carry more fighters, and naturally have a more powerful attack power.

"Your Excellency, Your Highness the Prince, asks, is it necessary for aircraft carriers to launch a second strike?" Staff officer to Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer reported.

"Tell His Royal Highness that you don't need it for the time being. The British already did not have many capital ships left. What's more, except for the battleship 'Hercules', the rest of the battleships are super dreadnoughts with stronger defenses. Light aviation torpedoes from carrier-based aircraft can hardly pose any threat to them. The rest of the battle is up to us. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer said.

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

Reinhart? Admiral Scheer has another meaning in his heart, that is, if the battleships of the British Navy are all sunk by the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier, then their more than 20 battleships will not have any results? They went to sea with such fanfare to fight a decisive battle with the British Navy, but in the end they only went to sea for a while, in that case, it would be too embarrassing, right?

"Order the battle cruiser formation, continue to monitor the British. The main fleet, immediately headed south, preparing for a decisive battle with the British. Now the British had only 14 battleships left. The final victory must be ours! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer is confident in this.

Of the 14 remaining battleships of the British Navy, there were six 'Revenge' and three Orion-class, plus the battleship George V, the Agincourt, Ireland, Canada and Hercules. Although the strength is not weak, it is undoubtedly much inferior to the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet.

Of the 24 battleships of the High Seas Fleet, five were of the 'Bavaria-class' and five of the 'King-class' battleships, all armed with 380 mm guns, five of the 'Caesar-class' and five of the 'Helgoland-class' battleships, all armed with 343 mm guns, and four of the 'Nassau-class' battleships, all armed with 305 mm guns.

The German Navy's High Seas Fleet had an absolute advantage over the British Royal Navy's Grand Fleet, not only in terms of the number of battleships. In terms of single-ship performance, it also has an overwhelming advantage. Although the Royal Navy has a numerical advantage in small and medium-sized warships. However, it would be foolish to defeat the mighty High Seas Fleet with those warships alone. So, Reinhardt? Scheer can confidently believe that they will win the next battle.

In Reinhardt? Under the orders of Admiral Scheer, the main fleet of the High Seas Fleet began to move rapidly south. The officers and men of the German Navy, one by one, were in high spirits, and they seemed to be ready for a brilliant victory, a brilliant victory that would send the German Navy to the sea hegemon.

On the other side, the commander of the British Navy's Grand Fleet, John? Admiral Jericho is also waiting for this final decisive battle. Although he knew that it was impossible to defeat the German Navy with the remaining ships of the Royal Navy. However, he hoped to be able to fight with the German Navy and lose both!

At 12 noon, the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet appeared on the battlefield.
