"Hell! That's the British 'Queen Elizabeth class' battleship! How is this possible? Didn't those guys in the intelligence services swear by the promise that the British 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships were still on the slipway? How did it end up here? "Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer roared angrily. The appearance of 5 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships of the British Navy completely disrupted his plans. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the British Navy, but he never expected that the British would set such a trap. It is clear that the British 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships have long been commissioned and have developed combat effectiveness, and the reason why they have kept it a secret is to deceive the main force of the German High Seas Fleet from the heavily defended military ports and annihilate them. Now, Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer understood it all. However, it was too late, and he already sensed that the German High Seas Fleet had fallen into the trap carefully laid by the British. From the very beginning, that's it!

"General, what should we do now? The British have hidden 5 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, and the addition of these five battleships to the command will greatly change the balance of strength between our two sides, and it will be difficult for us to defeat the British Navy. General, I will retreat immediately, it will be dark soon, and with the help of night cover, our main force should be able to retreat safely! "Rear Admiral Schmidt, commander of the 1st Battleship Detachment of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, said Yì. There is no doubt that now if the German Navy wants to win, it will already be very difficult, unless something miracle happens.

Frankly, Reinhardt. Admiral Schell had already listened to Rear Admiral Schmidt's advice, which was for the German Navy. Undoubtedly the most secure. Even during the retreat, some capital ships will be lost, such as the slower 'Nassau-class' and 'Helgoland-class' battleships, many of which may be sunk by the British Navy. However, the most powerful 'Bavaria-class' battleships, the 'King-class' and 'Caesar-class' battleships, might be able to escape. In this way, the main forces of the German Navy could be preserved and other opportunities could be looked for later. However, will there be a chance in the future? Reinhart. Admiral Scheer thought to himself that he would never have a chance again. If the German Navy had suffered heavy losses in this battle. It is estimated that there will never be a chance to challenge the British Navy in the future. Even if they had preserved the main force, they would have served as a fleet of preserves moored in the harbor.

More importantly, Germany was now facing a serious precarious situation if the navy could not achieve victory, if it could not achieve a decisive victory. The crisis that Germany is now facing will not be alleviated. In the event that overseas trade is cut off, the blockade of Germany by Britain and France will tighten like a noose around Germany's neck, and finally suffocate Germany. While leading the battleship out of Wilhelmshaven, Reinhardt. Admiral Schell knew that Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz, valued the battle, and that the German Navy had been built for such a day, in order to be able to defeat the British Navy. This is also the meaning of the existence of these naval soldiers. If they could not win for Germany, then they would have no point in existing.

"Order the ships. Keep fighting! The fate of Germany is in our hands, and we must defeat the British. The British have the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, and we also have the 'Bavaria-class' battleships that are no worse than them, who will win in the end. It's impossible to know for sure. I believe that the final victory will certainly belong to the great German Empire! "Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer did not give up hope, and even at this time, he wanted to give it a go. And hopefully a miracle will happen.

After receiving Reinhardt. Under the command of Admiral Schell, the main fleet of the German High Seas Fleet continued to fight. Though. They fought very valiantly, but could not organize the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the British fleet.

The five 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships of the British Navy's Sixth Battlefleet joined the battle line command, and the first to suffer were the German Navy's battlecruisers at the back of the battle line.

At 7:30 p.m., the German Navy's "Scharnhorst" battlecruiser was heavily damaged, and the 381-mm armor-piercing projectile, which weighed a ton of shells, was able to tear through the armor of the "Scharnhorst" battlecruiser under the action of huge kinetic energy. After being heavily damaged, the battlecruiser 'Scharnhorst' had to withdraw from the battle, and if it continued to hold on, it had only one end, and that was to be sunk.

Next unlucky was the battlecruiser 'Hindenburg'. During the siege of the British Navy, the battlecruiser held out for only 5 minutes and was hit several times. The power of 381-mm armor-piercing shells is simply not something that battlecruisers can withstand. Soon, the formidable battlecruiser sank to the bottom of the sea. In order to reduce losses, Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer had no choice but to order the battlecruisers to withdraw from the battle and let the four 'King-class' battleships slow down to deal with the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. It's just that although the 'King-class' battleships are strong, they are still unable to resist in the face of the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, especially when they are still inferior in numbers.

While the battleships behind the battle line were struggling to resist the attack of the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, the four 'Bavaria-class' battleships of the German Navy were also in full swing. Whether or not the tide of the battle can be turned around depends on the performance of these battleships. And their table is undoubtedly outstanding.

At 7:33 p.m., the battleship "Bavaria" hit the battleship "Iron Duke". The powerful 381 mm armor-piercing bullet lightly tore through the armor of the battleship "Iron Duke" and destroyed the engine room of the battleship "Iron Duke". Two of the four steam turbines were destroyed, and the speed of the battleship 'Iron Duke' dropped by half. In this case, in order to avoid being sunk, John. Admiral Jericho had no choice but to order the battleship Iron Duke to withdraw from the battle, and the flagship of the British fleet was changed from the Iron Duke to the more powerful Queen Elizabeth. John. Admiral Jericho also moved to the more powerful and safer battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth to direct the battle.

Immediately after three minutes, the "Baden" once again hit the battleship "Benbau". An armor-piercing shell hit the main mast of the 'Ben Bao', causing the main mast to collapse directly, and the superstructure was smashed a lot, and the rear main gun was also smashed, and it was impossible to continue firing. At the same time, the rangefinder was destroyed, which reduced the hit rate of the Ben Bao to an extremely terrible level, which was basically a waste of ammunition. In order to reduce losses, John. Admiral Jericho ordered the 'Benbau' to withdraw from the battle.

At 7:37 p.m., the battleship 'Ireland', which was besieged by the German Navy's battleships 'Württemberg' and 'Saxony', could not escape its doom this time. Having been hit almost simultaneously by both ships, the scarred battleship ended up sinking to the bottom of the sea. Of the thousands of British naval officers and sailors on the battleship, most of them did not survive.

The naval battle was very tragic, and during the duel between the battleships of the two sides, from time to time the battleships were shot and caught fire, and then sank. Although the German fleet, which was absolutely inferior in numbers, fought very bravely, the naval battle could not be reversed by bravery alone. While the battleships of the 'Bavaria-class' were in full swing, the 'West**' of the 'Nassau-class' battleships of the German Navy was also sunk.

The battleship of the German Navy was a new type of battleship designed for the "Han-class" battleship after Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich saw the "Han-class" battleship of the Chinese Navy, with a displacement of up to 28,000 tons and strong armor, giving this battleship a very strong defensive power. At the same time, the 5-seat twin 343-mm main guns also gave this battleship a strong firepower. However, in the face of the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth class' battleships, it still seems to be somewhat insufficient.

At 7:40 a.m., the battleship Crown Prince, which had been besieged by the British Navy's 'Warrior' and 'Malaya', was heavily damaged. The front main gun was destroyed, losing forty percent of its firepower. At the same time, the burning flames on the foredeck became the best coordinates for the shelling of the British Navy. Two minutes later, the Crown Prince was hit again, and although the 350 mm thick armor on the bridge was a strong defense against the British Navy's armor-piercing shells, the violent explosion still seriously injured all the officers inside. In the confusion of command, the battered battleship had to withdraw from the battle line.

At 7:44 a.m., the battleship 'Frontier Governor' hit the British Navy's battleship 'Barham'. The 343-mm armor-piercing projectile was equally powerful, blasting a large hole in the starboard side of the battleship 'Barham'. And, this big hole is just near the waterline. The damage management personnel on the battleship 'Balham' immediately carried out emergency repairs, but the 'Balham' was no longer fit for further combat until the loophole was closed. After consulting the commander John. Admiral Jericho commanded the battleship 'Barham' to withdraw from the battle line. However, by the time the battleship successfully closed the hole and returned to the battlefield two hours later, the battle at sea was already over.

The addition of the five 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships of the British Navy plunged the German Navy into a bitter battle, and with the German Navy's battleships being sunk or heavily damaged, the balance of victory has begun to slowly tilt in favor of the British Navy!
