"Your Excellency, the speed of our battleships is too slow. The maximum speed of the 'Vengeance-class' battleship is only a little more than 23 knots. In this case, there is no way to escape the pursuit of the Germans. Your Excellency the Commander, please go to the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. Although the battlecruiser Tiger suffered some injuries during the battle, they were only minor. The speed of the battleship was not affected in any way. Only by taking the battlecruiser 'Tiger' could it be possible to escape. "David? Lieutenant General Betty persuaded.

The speed of the battlecruiser "Tiger" was as high as 27.5 knots. Such a speed is no slower than that of a cruiser. At the same time, the powerful firepower also ensures its own safety. If you take the battlecruiser 'Tiger', it is undoubtedly much more likely to escape the pursuit of the German Navy.

John? Admiral Jericho shook his head: "General Betty, we lost this battle. Someone has to be held accountable for this. I'll stay and command the fleet and continue the fight. Go to the battlecruiser 'Tiger' and report the course of this battle to His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Excellency the Minister of the Navy. ”

"Your Excellency, this defeat is not our fault, but because the enemy is too strong. It's not your responsibility, and you don't have to take it all on your own. I am sure that Your Excellency the Prime Minister and Your Excellency Churchill will understand. "David? Lieutenant General Betty persuaded.

But, John? Admiral Jericho shook his head anyway. He had already made up his mind to take responsibility for the defeat of this naval battle. Or rather, he wanted to die for the defeat of the Royal Navy. So, he intends to fight to the death. In addition, he did not want to go back to England and see Britain admit defeat and surrender to Germany, or the whole of the British Isles to be in flames.

David? Lieutenant General Betty couldn't convince John? Admiral Jericho, no longer in vain. Relative to John? Admiral Jericho, David? Lieutenant General Betty is taking her life more seriously. Therefore, he chose to take a traffic boat on the battle cruiser 'Tiger'. The battlecruiser 'Tiger' began to increase its speed, increasing its speed to 25 knots, and quickly headed for the British mainland. Of course, whether or not they can safely return to the British mainland may depend on God's will.

The remaining warships of the British Navy desperately tried to escape. The German Navy, on the other hand, pursued them and wanted to leave all these British Navy warships behind.

Because all the warships of the German Navy use a combination of oil-fired boiler frame steam turbines, the warships of the German Navy generally have an advantage in speed. The 2nd Battleline led by Vice Admiral Hipper and the battle cruiser formation led by Vice Admiral Speeper were still joining forces to strangle the remnants of the eight American battleships led by Vice Admiral Martin. After all these American battleships have been eliminated, they will start the pursuit. After all, it is necessary to deal with the enemies that have been trapped at any time, and then try to plot other enemies, so that you can be safe.

Reinhart? Admiral Scheer led the 1st Battleline in pursuit of the six remaining capital ships of the British Navy. As for the French and Italians, who fled first, no one paid attention to them for the time being. In this naval battle, the weakness of the French and Italians was also vividly expressed. Even if four French battleships and two Italian battleships escaped, they would pose no threat to the German navy. Anyway, this naval battle was lost, and neither the French nor the Italians had any illusions about the war. This will undoubtedly make them make a final choice. Judging by the current situation, the possibility of the surrender of France and Italy will be very high.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One shell after another exploded around the battleship 'New York', splashing columns of water on the surface of the sea, like whales spitting water.

Three Mackensen-class battlecruisers of the German Navy were besieging it. Of the remaining American battleships on the battlefield, only the 'New York-class' battleships were armed with 356mm guns, and the others were equipped with 305mm guns. Therefore, these two 'New York-class' battleships were also the focus of the German Navy. Three 'Mackensen-class' battleships laid siege to the 'New York' battleship, and three 'D'Verblinger-class' battleships laid siege to the 'Texas' battleship to ensure that the two battleships were eliminated.

The other battleships and battlecruisers attacked the remaining American battleships.

"Damn! How did it come to this? "Lieutenant General Martin seems to be a little unacceptable to the sudden change in the situation of the battle. Although, before that, the British Navy was gradually at a disadvantage. However, after the arrival of the battle cruiser formations of the German Navy, they were directly unable to fight back. The mighty combined fleet fell apart in an instant. Such a failure came too quickly and too suddenly.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The five twin 356-mm guns of the battleship 'New York' were also frantically returning fire. Heavy shells smashed into the battlecruiser "Mackensen", the flagship of the German Navy's battlecruiser formation. However, the shells also fell into the sea and did not achieve any results.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the battleship 'New York' slammed into shock, and Vice Admiral Martin's face suddenly turned pale.

"Damn, we were hit!" Lieutenant General Martin couldn't help but scold.

A 380-mm shell fired from the battleship "Mackensen" of the German Navy hit the side of the battleship "New York". The place of the hit, just above the waterline.

The defense of the 'New York-class' battleships was much weaker than that of the 'Nevada-class' battleships. The thickness of the waterline armor is only 305 mm. This is like papier-mâché in front of 380-mm shells.

After the shell tore through the armor, it exploded, directly in the hull of the battleship 'New York', blowing a large hole.

However, the only thing to be thankful for is probably that the big hole is located above the waterline, and it is still dozens of centimeters away from the waterline. If the place where this shell hits, if it is moved down a few tens of centimeters, it will cause fatal damage to the battleship 'New York'.

In the siege of the German Navy, the British Navy, despite being at a disadvantage, still showed an extremely tenacious will to fight. They frantically fought back, like trapped beasts, trying to pull on the German Navy's warships to cushion their backs before they were sunk.
