On March 23, the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau received definite news that the naval battle between the main force of the Home Fleet of the British Royal Navy Fleet and the main force of the German High Seas Fleet in the waters of the North Sea ended, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After this battle, the naval strength of Britain and Germany was greatly reduced, and both lost a large number of ships, of which Britain lost many more ships than Germany, but despite this, the British navy still occupied an absolute advantage in strength.

"According to our statistical report, the total tonnage of British naval ships before the start of this naval battle was 2,714,000 tons, and in 1914 it was 2,346,000 tons, an increase of 350,000 tons in two years, and in this naval battle, 590,000 tons were sunk, dozens of large warships were lost, and a large number of battleships were damaged, even if they were towed back, they could not be repaired, and more than a dozen damaged battleships were scuttled by themselves after the British transferred their crews, Not only did all the ships developed in those two years be lost, but also the tonnage of the previous ships was less, according to our current statistics, counting those ships that could continue to fight after repair, the total tonnage of the British Navy was still 1,918,000 tons! ”

"Before the start of this naval war, the total tonnage of the German Navy was 1,305,000 tons, and the total tonnage of the British Navy ships was more than twice as much, and after this naval battle, Germany lost 182,000 tons, excluding the ships that could not be repaired, and the total tonnage of the German Navy was still 1,206,000 tons. In terms of total tonnage, there is still a gap of 700,000 tons between the German naval fleet and the British naval fleet, and this tonnage gap is about 100,000 tons smaller than the gap in the total tonnage of China's current navy. ”

"Judging from the above number jù. Britain still had the upper hand in terms of naval strength, although the Germans planned this ambush and sneak attack. Despite the heavy damage to the British Royal Navy fleet, they did not achieve their intended goals. After all, the difference in strength of more than twice as many as the three hundred mixed bombers could not be compensated, but the reason why the British did not suffer greater losses was mainly because the British ran fast, and if they were closer to the German mainland, then the Luftwaffe could reload and continue the second bombing after returning. In this way, I am afraid that the British will suffer even greater losses, and their current advantage will be lost! One thing is certain, however, that the new dreadnoughts, built by both Britain and Germany before and during the war, suffered extremely heavy losses in this naval battle, as far as we know. Britain had 34 dreadnoughts before the war, and now there are only 13, that is to say that 21 were lost in this naval battle, while Germany had 14 dreadnoughts before the war, and after this war, Germany now has 8 more and has lost 6 ".

Following Ma Xiaoshuang's comparison of the current naval strength of Britain and Germany, Yang Shiqi said to Xiao Zhenlei: "Judging from the current situation, although the gap between the naval strength of Britain and Germany has been reduced by more than half. However, the British side still had the upper hand, and Germany was only tactically victorious, but still strategically inferior, and we speculate that Germany is definitely more than that. They will certainly not be reconciled, and there will definitely be operations against Britain after that, as for what kind of military action will be taken against Britain. We don't know, but we pushed: first. Germany would secretly build a large number of airfields in the coastal cities of France near the English Channel, and then carry out a massive bombing of the ports of London and other coastal cities in England. Second, first send a group of bombers to destroy the airfield that the British are building, the 300 first-generation fighters that we sold to the British, if the British do not do a good enough job of secrecy in this regard and the Germans know the storage location of those fighter spare parts, I estimate that the British will be miserable, without this fighter plane to withstand the bombing of the Germans first, I am afraid that Britain will lose air supremacy for a long time to come, the president should know the importance of air supremacy for modern warfare, once Britain loses air supremacy, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Britain to turn over in a short period of time! ”

Yang Shiqi's words made Xiao Zhenlei understand that the Germans are very likely to do this, after all, as long as people who know a little bit of military common sense have already understood the importance of air supremacy, if Britain loses air supremacy, and Germany builds a large number of airports in cities near the west coastline of France, then German bombers can carry out large-scale bombing of the British mainland, and then ports, cities, factories, road traffic, important military facilities, especially British aircraft factories, arsenals, and shipyards will be bombed by the Luftwaffe!

"I know, you continue to keep an eye on this Anglo-German war, especially Germany's next military action against Britain, and what is the reaction of the British side, report it as soon as there is news!" Xiao Zhenlei commanded.

Ma Xiaoshuang and Yang Shiqi immediately agreed: "Yes, big president!" ”

In the early morning of 29 March, a German bomber group of 300 fighters and bombers completed its transfer at more than 20 secretly and urgently built airstrips on the west coast of France, and flew over the English Channel in three batches. Among them were a hundred fighters and two hundred bombers.

At 9:15 a.m., the first wave of 100 German bombers, 40 fighters and 60 bombers, crossed the English Channel, and the 100 fighters flew straight to the southwestern suburbs of London.

In the southwestern suburbs of London, there is an airport, which is the largest airport in the United Kingdom, and all the 300 fighters assembled from parts and components shipped from China are parked here, and so far 360 fighters have been assembled, and only 40 have not been assembled.

In the vicinity of British airspace in the English Channel, two fighter planes bought from China were training in the airspace of this area, Air Force Lieutenant Leytham was flying a fighter plane, and next to his fighter plane was his wingman, which was piloted by Second Lieutenant Creed.

"Hey man, how are you feeling during this time? Is this the fighter plane bought from China okay? Letham gestured to his wingman, Creed, to express himself.

Creed gestured in response: "Letham, Huaguo's planes are really good, at least those planes we produce ourselves are too strong, the machine guns on this kind of aircraft can fire directly without worrying about the bullet hitting the screw and bouncing back, you know?" My cousin Mark was shot in the head by a bullet that bounced off the propeller while firing on a plane of our own production and died, when the plane fell from the sky and he and the plane were shattered, oh God, it was terrible! ”

Letham gestured comfortingly: "Hey, man, you don't have to worry about this happening to our plane, just bullets from enemy planes on the other side, I've heard that the Germans have produced an airplane with similar performance to the one we fly, oh - God, what is that?" ”

Wingman Creed apparently noticed Leytham's frightened expression, turned his head to look ahead, and suddenly gasped, "Oh God, it's all fighters, yes?????? Fighters of the Germans! ”

Creed shouted, but Leyham couldn't hear him, Leyter had already lost control of the plane because he was stunned, his plane began to shake, the fuselage began to shake, and Leythme, who finally came back to his senses, immediately took control of the plane, fortunately, he had been engaged in aircraft piloting for several years, and his experience and piloting skills were very deep, and he quickly controlled the plane.

At this time, it was impossible for the two of them to fly back to the airport to report to the airport and sound the air defense alarm, and the German plane group would inevitably follow, I am afraid that they had just landed at the airport, and the German plane group would arrive, and London would definitely have no time to prepare, and the only way now was to leave one fighter plane to entangle the German aircraft group, and the other to return to the airport at the fastest flight speed to report the news.

Thinking of this, Lite immediately gestured to his wingman Creed, signaling Creed to immediately return as fast as possible to report the news, while he himself stayed to block these German fighters, although Creed was not worried about Leyteem, but he also knew that now there must be a plane to fly back to report the news, so he didn't talk nonsense, and turned around and returned directly.

Letham took it for granted, he only had one plane, and the German fleet had a hundred, and it was definitely not something that one of his planes could stop, only to see the German group flying over from the opposite side immediately flew out from the front Five fighters rushed towards him while the other fighters were still flying in the predetermined direction, which made Letham anxious, he wanted to fly over the plane to stop, but the five German fighters that rushed towards him had sped up and surrounded him to block his way, and two German fighters fired at him, He immediately flew a plane to evade, and five German fighters immediately pursued and intercepted him, encircling him to a certain airspace and unable to break out of the siege, and he also kept firing with machine guns.

While flying the plane to dodge the incoming bullets, it was actually impossible to dodge the bullets, he just drove the plane to constantly change the direction of flight, constantly up and down, left and right, so that the German fighters could not capture the flight trajectory of his piloting record.

All the remaining German planes flew behind the plane piloted by Creed, which made Letham extremely worried, he was very anxious, and there was no way to get rid of these German fighters for the time being, and he was not sure about fighting in the air with these German fighters, after all, he had not been flying this kind of plane for a long time, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

Just when he was hesitating, there was a sudden vibration from the fighter, and he immediately turned his head to look behind, only to see billowing smoke flying out of the tail of the plane behind, and the fighter plane was hit by the Germans and caught fire, and then the plane began to vibrate violently, hitting his fuselage with a series of bullets fired from the side.

"Boom!" With a bang, the plane piloted by Letham exploded. (To be continued......)
