Before entering the age of dreadnoughts, Britain built a large number of former dreadnoughts. With-Dream- . Although the German Navy had already begun to catch up with the British Navy in terms of capital ships. However, in terms of the number of former dreadnoughts, the British Navy still had about twice the advantage. It can be seen how many former dreadnoughts were built in Britain in total.

As soon as the British Navy's battleship 'Dreadnought' was put into service, the former dreadnoughts that were being built or had already been built by various countries became obsolete in an instant. Equally outdated are the Royal Navy's own former dreadnoughts. It's just that the Royal Navy has a lot of money and doesn't care. They believe that as long as they have been at the forefront of naval development, they will be able to keep the British Navy at the top of the world.

It's just that the later development of facts made the British face swollen. In the era of dreadnoughts, the German Navy successfully overtook the British Royal Navy in one fell swoop. And in a naval battle one after another, the British Navy was knocked off the altar. Under such circumstances, the situation of the British Navy was undoubtedly very bad. If they were never able to defeat the German navy, it seemed inevitable that Britain would lose the war.

Portsmouth Military Port was originally one of the most important military ports of the British Navy. However, after the opening of the military port in Scapa Bay, in order to contain the German navy's entry into the Atlantic, the Royal Navy deployed almost all of its capital ships there. What remained in the port of Portsmouth were nothing more than old and weak warships. Among them, there are a large number of former dreadnoughts.

"General, the order of His Excellency the Admiral!" A communications officer rushed into the office of the commander of the Royal Navy's base in Portsmouth.

The commander, Lieutenant General Cavison, took the telegram disapprerovingly. He thought to himself that there would be no important task for him anyway. After all, the entire Portsmouth military port is in a state of neglect.

However, when Lieutenant General Cavison read the telegram, it was as if he had changed his life. As a senior admiral of the Royal Navy, he undoubtedly has a fighting spirit. It's just that out of desperation, there is no other way but to get by. Now, a new combat mission has been issued, which naturally makes him full of confidence.

"Order the base, sound the alarm, and everyone will return to the ship at once!" Lieutenant General Cavison ordered.

"Yes, General." A staff officer immediately went to give the order.

"Whew!"

A terrible siren sounded over the military port, and those sailors immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to their warships. Good training has enabled these officers and men of the Royal Navy to react immediately.

"Order all eight 'Edward VII-class' battleships, two 'Fast-class' battleships, six 'Duncan-class' battleships and five 'London-class' battleships, as well as the 'Minotaur-class' armored cruisers, 'Warrior-class' armored cruisers, 'Devon-class' armored cruisers, get ready. An hour later, leave the port and prepare for battle! Lieutenant General Cavison ordered.

"General, are we going to fight the Germans?" An officer asked. After all, this time they had as many as 21 battleships and 13 armored cruisers. These battleships, although they are all old-fashioned warships. However, the performance is still good, accounting for about half of all warships in the entire Portsmouth military port. With so many warships dispatched, it was clear that something big was about to happen.

"A decisive battle with the Germans? Did you get kicked by a donkey? What kind of battleships are wers, and if we go to a decisive battle with the Germans, it will be a death at all! Lieutenant General Cavison said coldly.

If ten years ago, Vice Admiral Cavison still had the confidence to lead such a powerful fleet and sweep the navies of other countries around the world. But now? He didn't dare to say anything like that. The fleet he led seemed to be huge. But these old former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers are simply vulnerable in the face of cutting-edge dreadnoughts.

Even the latest capital ships of the Royal Navy were sunk in the decisive battle with the German Navy, not to mention their old former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers, which were easily sunk by others once they went to a decisive battle with the German Navy.

"General, what are we going to do here?" Another officer asked.

After all, they dispatched 21 battleships and 13 armored cruisers this time, plus other small and medium-sized warships, there were more than 60 of them. In terms of the number of fleets alone, this is undoubtedly a very large fleet. Obviously, Vice Admiral Cavison was not in a position to organize such a large fleet and go for a ride.

"His Excellency Churchill has given the order for us to go to Le Havre. The Germans are storming Le Havre, and the bastards of the expeditionary force are about to be overwhelmed by the heavy German shelling. Therefore, His Excellency Churchill wants us to go and reinforce them at once. In this way, our battleships are no match for the battleships of the Germans. However, it was not a problem to bully the German infantry with a huge main gun. I'd rather see what it would be like for the Germans to be torn to pieces by shells fired from our huge naval guns! A sinister smile flashed across Lieutenant General Cavisson's face.

It's been almost a year since this war broke out. The British Empire, which once dominated the world, was about to be defeated in this war. This led many Britons to blame the Germans for all this. To think that the Germans were responsible for all this, and that the Germans were to blame. If the Germans had not started the war, the British Empire would not have fallen to this point. This naturally caused many British people to hate the Germans.

For the soldiers of the British Empire, whether it was the army or the navy, they all hoped to defeat the Germans, or inflict more casualties on them, and avenge the death of their comrades.

This time, Lieutenant General Cavison, naturally, also has this purpose.

For them, shelling the German troops besieging Le Havre was undoubtedly a very simple and easy task. They just had to keep firing according to the coordinates provided by the British Expeditionary Force. The powerful battleship's main gun shells will tear all those German soldiers to shreds.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of May 7, a large fleet of the British Royal Navy left the Portsmouth military port. The fleet crossed the English Channel and headed for Le Havre on the other side of the channel.
