It was also almost at the same time that the British fleet discovered the German Navy's broken fleet.

"It's good to finally find the Germans! The 1st Battleship Detachment continued to advance, and the 2nd Battleship Detachment scattered and surrounded. This time, it was necessary to get rid of all three battleship cruisers of the Germans. Lieutenant General Martin ordered.

The 12 battleships of the British fleet, divided into two battleship detachments. The six battleships of the 1st Battleship Detachment were two 'Nevada-class' battleships, two 'New York-class' battleships, and two 'Wyoming-class' battleships. The six battleships of the 2nd Battleship Detachment were two 'Florida-class' battleships, two 'Delaware-class' battleships and two 'South Carolina-class' battleships.

The 1st Battleship Detachment was in front, and the 2nd Battleship Detachment was in the rear. The 2nd Battleship Detachment was ordered to turn around as soon as the two fleets encountered, so as to avoid detection by the German fleet.

Vice Admiral Martin's move was obviously intended to outflank the three 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers of the German fleet and eliminate them all in one fell swoop.

The British fleet immediately split into two parts, one part remained sailing, continued to advance, and met the German fleet head-on. The other part began to turn to a detour, preparing to outflank the German fleet.

At this moment, the three 'Blucher-class' battlecruisers led by Rear Admiral Lübeck were actually only six battleships of the 1st Battleship Detachment of the British Fleet.

"General, it's American. There were six battleships! "On the battleship 'Blucher', the staff officer reported.

"What are the Americans doing here? Do they want to force their way into the Empire's no-sail zone like they did last time? Major General Lübeck frowned.

The last time the U.S. fleet forcibly entered the no-sail zone demarcated by the German Navy, it almost misfired, triggering a major war between the German Navy and the U.S. Navy. In that case, it will undoubtedly further expand the scale of the war.

"Be vigilant and ask the Americans about their intentions!" Major General Lübeck ordered.

"Yes, General." The staff officer replied.

Connect with the U.S. fleet through a shared channel.

On the battleship 'Nevada', the communications officer of the British fleet was reporting to Vice Admiral Martin.

"General, the Germans asked about our intentions. They claim that this area is his no-sail zone! ”

"Go to the no-sail zone, it's clearly the high seas. Even when the Royal Navy of the British Empire was at its strongest, it did not dare to demarcate any no-sail zone so arrogantly! What's more, the no-sail zone of the Germans was still aimed at the British Empire. Lieutenant General Martin scolded.

"General, how do we reply?" The officer asked.

"Tell the Germans that we are on a routine cruise." Lieutenant General Martin said.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded.

"Order the ships, get ready for battle. After the distance was reduced to 10,000 meters, the attack was immediately launched, and at the same time, the American flag was lowered and the St. George flag was raised. Lieutenant General Martin ordered.

"Yes, General."

The order of Vice Admiral Martin was sent down to the ships of the British fleet. The ships immediately began to prepare for combat. The turret's gun coat had faded and began to spin. The shells were also lifted from the ammunition depot and stuffed into the chamber, ready to fire.

On the other side, the German fleet also discovered the anomaly of the British fleet. It's just that they don't know what these Americans are trying to do.

"General, the Americans claim that they are conducting routine cruises."

"Routine cruises? Warning them to turn around and leave the area immediately. This is a no-sail zone demarcated by the German Imperial Navy, and if you get any closer, it will be a provocation to the German Empire! Major General Lübeck said with a cold face.

The current Imperial German Navy is the most powerful navy in the world. They don't need to give face to the Americans at all.

"General, the Americans are acting abnormally, their main guns have faded their armor, and the turrets are spinning and are aiming at us!" An officer reported in alarm.

"What? What are these Americans trying to do? Could it be that they want to go to war with the Empire? Damn, warn them to stop provocative acts. Otherwise, the Imperial Navy will be unkind to them! Major General Lübeck ordered.

"Yes, General."

Vice Admiral Martin, however, turned a deaf ear to the warnings of the German fleet. Six battleships, already aimed at the German fleet. It's just that the distance is still relatively far, so he didn't give the order to fire.

"A little closer, a little closer. Just close the distance to 10,000 meters and we'll be able to fire! Lieutenant General Martin said secretly in his heart.

In view of the fact that there is a certain gap between the US warships and the warships of the German Navy in terms of sighting equipment and ranging equipment. Therefore, Lieutenant General Martin wanted to be able to shorten the distance of the engagement as much as possible. In this way, the officers and men of the British Navy will be able to give full play to their superiority in quality. The accuracy of the shelling will also be greatly improved.

"General, the Americans didn't give us any response!" Staff officer reported.

"Damn! What exactly are they trying to do? Major General Lübeck scolded.

"What is our distance now?" Major General Lübeck asked.

"General, now we are less than fifteen kilometers away from the Americans."

This distance is undoubtedly a more dangerous distance, and it has entered the effective range of the main guns of both sides.

"Order the ships and get ready for battle!" Major General Lübeck ordered.

Three "Blucher-class" battlecruisers, began to prepare for combat in accordance with orders. The turret rotated, aiming at the British fleet. The cannon's jacket has also faded, revealing a hideous muzzle.

"Warn the Americans that if they get any closer, we're going to shoot." When the distance between the two sides was reduced to 12 kilometers, Major General Lübeck ordered.

"Yes, General."

When he learned of the warning of the German fleet, a smile appeared on Vice Admiral Martin's face.

"What is our distance now?" Lieutenant General Martin asked.

"General, it's about to be pulled closer to 11,000 meters."

"Very well, but it seems that the Germans have been forced by us. It's not easy to get closer. Order the ships, aim at the target, and fire! Lieutenant General Martin ordered.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battleship 'Nevada' was the first to open fire, and two twin 356-mm guns and two triple-mounted 356-mm guns began test firing. The other five battleships, also at the moment when the battleship Nevada opened fire, began shelling.
