Chapter 460: A Great Victory

The night had completely darkened, and the North Sea had become pitch black. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Some burning warships, lighting up a sea area. Overall, however, the North Sea has entered a dark night.

German ships with searchlights turned on are searching back and forth to see if there are any survivors at sea. Regardless of whether it was the German Navy that fell into the water, the British Navy at sea rescued them one by one. Although, everyone was an enemy before. However, the battle is over. The obligations of the soldiers have been fulfilled. Next, it's time for humanitarian aid.

The British, of course, as losers, have long escaped. They simply don't have that much leisure to rescue the poor people who have fallen overboard. Dozens of capital ships went to sea to fight the German navy, and in the end only four wrecked battleships escaped. Such a defeat was equally unacceptable for the Royal Navy. And, after this defeat, the Royal Navy can be considered finished.

The German Navy, at a very small cost, won the battle. This means that Germany has replaced Britain as the new maritime hegemon.

"Your Excellency, I am very sorry that we have not been able to leave all the capital ships of the British, the battleship 'Revenge' and the battleship 'Resolve', which have already been severely damaged by us. But in the end, they still escaped under the cover of night. Lieutenant General Hipper was a little sorry.

"General Hipper, you've done a pretty good job. We have won this battle! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer smiled.

Nothing can be 100% perfect, and he was very satisfied that the German Navy was able to win this decisive naval battle at a small cost.

In this naval battle, the German Navy lost one battleship, while three battleships and one battlecruiser were heavily damaged. On the side of light cruisers and destroyers, 7 and 15 were sunk, respectively. Such losses are not small. However, this is undoubtedly a little insignificant in terms of the results they have achieved.

In this naval battle, the British Navy sank a full 22 battleships and 5 battlecruisers, and another 3 battleships and 1 battlecruiser were severely damaged, and the losses of cruisers and destroyers were extremely heavy. It can be said that some of the most elite forces of the Royal Navy have been wiped out by the German Navy. Next, the Royal Navy was left to hide in the harbor. In the face of the attack of the German Navy, they simply had nothing to do.

"Your Excellency, the British, now in general, have 7 battleships and 1 battlecruiser left. Although, almost all of these battleships were heavily damaged. However, with the shipbuilding capabilities of the British, it was soon possible to repair these battleships. At that time, this will still be a threat to us. "Maximilian? Feng? Lieutenant General Spee said.

Reinhart? Admiral Scheer nodded: "But, no matter what, we have already taken out the main battleship of the British." The next few battleships are relatively much easier to deal with. I believe that the Imperial Navy can take out their main fleet, and they will be able to destroy all the remaining warships they have. From now on, the blockade of Britain will be restored by the broken fleet, and no supplies will be able to flow into Britain. Without those supplies, it would have been very difficult for the British to build new warships. After the army had dealt with the Anglo-French forces, the next step should be to land on British soil. When the time comes, the British will lose completely. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Both Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee nodded.

"Report the news of our victory to the country. The United Kingdom is in a hurry. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer said.

Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spee both laughed, and Germany was also very concerned about whether Germany could replace Britain and become the supremacy of the sea. This was directly related to whether Germany could win the war. After so many years of careful preparation, Germany has finally won the final victory.

Berlin, Germany, inside the Imperial Palace, German Emperor Wilhelm II, Crown Prince Qin Tian, Chancellor Bernhardt? Feng? Bülow, Foreign Secretary von? Kidren? Vahit, Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff, von Hirts? Marshal Falkenhein and others gathered in the office of Wilhelm II.

Since the outbreak of the battle, they have been anxiously waiting for the final result. Although, Qin Tian and Marshal Tirpitz repeatedly assured that the German navy had the absolute upper hand in this battle, and the final victory must be theirs. However, everyone was a little worried. Although the German navy had a great advantage, no one could guarantee that there would be no surprises in the naval battle. In that case, Germany's low-hanging victory might slip away.

Therefore, until the final definite news is obtained, everyone does not dare to take it lightly.

From morning to afternoon, the sun went down, but there was still no news, which made everyone a little anxious. Although, they know that a large-scale naval battle is very normal to fight for a day, and it may even last longer. However, it is understandable that everyone is a little anxious.

After a light meal of hostel to everyone, Wilhelm II continued to wait for news. The waiter had already brought the coffee. Obviously, without waiting for the final result, everyone didn't even have the heart to sleep.

At 8 p.m., the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Navy, von ? Marshal Boer, rushed to the palace and reported to Wilhelm II on the urgent military situation in the navy.

"Did we win?" Kaiser Wilhelm II looked at Von expectantly? Marshal Pol. At the same time, there are some apprehensions in my heart. He was also a little scared that he would hear bad news next. After all, the naval supremacy of the British was not so easy to challenge. Over the centuries, several countries have fallen on the road to compete with the British for supremacy at sea. Although Germany was close to victory this time, Wilhelm II was somewhat worried.

"Your Majesty, we won, we won. The High Seas Fleet defeated the British in this naval battle. "Feng? Marshal Pol said.

"Win? We won? Wilhelm II was stunned, as if he had been shocked by the good news.

The others cheered. Everyone knows what this victory means for Germany.
