On the battleship Helgoland, the flagship of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, the atmosphere was very solemn. In the past naval battle, the German Navy once again lost four battleships. By this time, 21 battleships had been sunk and two battleships had been heavily damaged. It is inconceivable that the German Navy, which had worked so hard to build, could suffer such great losses. Perhaps, before the war, no one expected this.

Although, the German Navy knew that the enemy was strong. However, they believed that with the strength of the German Navy, there was no problem in fighting for both sides. After all, the number of battleships of the German Navy was no less than that of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. But now it seems that the gap between the two sides is too great. Even if there are enough battleships, they still can't compete with the Chinese Navy!

The battleship "Helgolan", the battleship "Osterfrisland", the battleship "Thuringia", the battleship "Posen", the battleship "Deutschland". This is the five remaining battleships of the German Navy. Three 'Helgoland-class' battleships, one 'Nassau-class' battleship and one 'German-class' battleship. It can be said that the current German Navy's high seas fleet has reached the point of exhaustion.

The entire German Navy's High Seas Fleet is permeated with an atmosphere of negative pessimism, and even the most stubborn people have to admit that the current High Seas Fleet is indeed on the verge of defeat. In the battle with the mighty Chinese navy, they have lost a lot. Whether the remaining battleships could escape back to Germany, they did not know.

In the process of desperately escaping the German Navy. The Chinese Navy is also in hot pursuit. It can be seen on the sea in the distance. Constantly blazing, this is the huge naval guns of the battleships of the Chinese Navy are firing. Merely. With the German Navy remaining silent and the lights controlled, it was very difficult to hit the target.

It is clear that the German Navy did not expect to be able to hit the Chinese Navy's battleships again, but they also hoped that their own ships would not be hit. So, they would rather choose this way of escaping in embarrassment.

"Commander, it seems that the Germans are determined to run away." Admiral Ye Feng, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, had a smile on his face. This naval battle has come to this point. There is no doubt that the final outcome can already be determined. The crushing defeat of the German Navy's high seas fleet was already inevitable.

"They can't escape. The 5th battleship detachment was already blocked in front of them, and soon, they were going to meet. Admiral Lu Haipeng said with a smile. If the German Navy was bent on escaping, it would not be easy to sink them all. However, with the interception of the 5th battleship detachment, it was completely different. The 5th battleship detachment of the 'Ming Reform' battleship. The speed is a little higher than that of the 'Ming-class' battleships. In addition, they did not participate in previous naval battles. It belongs to waiting for work. At the last moment, it was enough to deliver a fatal blow to the German Navy.

"Commander, why don't you order the gunners to stop firing. Until now. It's been a whole day of fighting, and the gunners are very tired. Admiral Ye Feng suggested. Despite the fact that each turret has a mechanical loafer, however. The gunner is still the most physically demanding.

"Well, let's take a break. Regain your strength and get ready for the final battle. Admiral Lu Haipeng nodded.

Time passed slowly. Between the chase and flight of the German and Chinese navies, the night was about to pass.

Soon, a hint of fishbelly white appeared in the eastern sky, and the darkness was dispelled by the light. Visibility on the sea is constantly improving. The tall and majestic battleships in the distance can already be seen clearly.

Suddenly, on the edge of the eastern sky, thick black pillars of smoke appeared. This immediately attracted the attention of the watchmen on the battleship 'Helgoran'. He immediately raised the alarm. The battleship 'Helgoland' and the entire battleships of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet were nervous.

"There is also a huge fleet there, could it be that the Chinese fleet went around ahead of us?" How is this possible? Vice Admiral Müller, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, looked horrified.

"Probably not. The battleships of the Chinese Navy, always chasing after us, could not have run ahead of us. As for the remaining two battleship detachments, they were much slower than ours, and on the basis of this it was impossible to catch up with ours. "Thomas. Sir Simmonds said.

Admiral Philip was also full of doubt, and he didn't know why he was still encountering the enemy's fleet here.

"Could it be that it is the fleet of the Belgian Navy? Those guys, how can they have the audacity to stop us? Even if we had only five battleships left, it would be enough to send the Belgian Navy to the bottom of the sea. Admiral Philip said secretly.

As the distance continues to close, the mystery is finally revealed. In front of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet were incomparably large battleships. In terms of appearance, it is very similar to the 'Ming-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy. It's just that these 'Ming-class' battleships that appeared were not injured at all, as if they were new ships that had just been commissioned. In the previous naval battles, even if the Chinese Navy won, those 'Ming-class' battleships were also hit from time to time, and they were more or less damaged.

"What the hell is going on? How come there are four more 'Ming-class' battleships? Lieutenant General Müller yelled loudly, completely unable to believe what was happening before him. If the Chinese Navy had four more 'Ming-class' battleships to encircle them, they would not have been able to escape.

"Oh God! Could it be that the 'Ming-class' battleships of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy rushed to Europe? Why didn't our intelligence agencies receive a single message? "Thomas. Sir Simmonds was furious. Because of this negligence on the part of the intelligence agencies, I am afraid that it will directly lead to the total annihilation of the German Navy's high seas fleet.

Since the start of the war, the Chinese navy has become the focus of German intelligence agencies. Before going to sea, Admiral Philip also made a point of understanding that the main forces of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy had not left port. That's why he dared to go to sea to fight with confidence.

"I think we were all deceived by the Chinese. These battleships are not 'Ming-class' battleships, but more powerful 'Ming-class' battleships. The Chinese' 'Ming Modification class' battleships have already been served, or rather, a batch has been served, and it is precisely the batch in front of us. Admiral Philip said with some dismay, and he immediately figured it all out.

"'Ming Reform' battleship, God! How is this possible? Lieutenant General Muller was shocked. The battleship of the German Navy against the 'Mingkai-class' battleships was the 'King-class' battleships. It's a pity that the 'King-class' battleships are still under construction.

The appearance of the 'Ming Reform' battleship undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the German Navy. Soon, taking advantage of the speed advantage, the four 'Mingkai-class' battleships of the 5th Battleship Detachment of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy completed the pre-war deployment, and the four battleships lined up in a battle line and directly attacked the German Navy's High Seas Fleet from the front.

The battleships "Myojinzong", "Myeongkojong", "Myeongheejong" and "Myeongsijong" carried out heavy shelling of the German Navy's high seas fleet. Although the German Navy still had five battleships, only three of their 'Helgoland-class' battleships were able to compete with the Chinese Navy's 'Minggai-class' battleships. The other battleships 'Posen' and 'Deutschland', although they were two against one, could not gain the upper hand. In particular, the Chinese Navy has nine other battleships that are rapidly approaching, which makes the situation of the German Navy undoubtedly more critical.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The last naval battle began, and the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, which had been cut off from the rear route, could only engage in a fierce battle with the 5th Battleship Detachment of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy.

Although, the German Navy behaved very bravely. However, they were still unable to change the situation. The officers and men of the German Navy who had fought hard for a day were already very tired, and the most intuitive manifestation was that the German Navy's naval guns often took a minute or more to fire a salvo. On the other hand, the 5th Battleship Detachment of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy was able to fire three salves in two minutes, and the output of firepower was much greater than that of the German Navy. So much so that at the very beginning of the battle, the German Navy was completely suppressed.

At 6:12 a.m. on August 25, the battleship "Thuringia" of the German Navy was severely damaged by the battleship "Ming Xizong" of the Imperial Navy. Five minutes later, it was hit again and then sunk.

At 6:18, the battleship "Posen" of the German Navy was sunk by the battleship "Minsizong" of the Imperial Navy.

At 6:30, the 5th Battleship Detachment and the 2nd Battleship Detachment of the Reich Navy's 1st Fleet arrived to lay siege to the German Navy's High Seas Fleet.

Under the siege of more than a dozen powerful enemy battleships, the German Navy had lost its last chance. Although they fought back valiantly, they were unable to achieve any results.

At 6:38, the battleship "Helgoland", the flagship of the German Navy, was heavily damaged, and the commander of the fleet, Admiral Philippe, refused to evacuate. Ten minutes later, the battleship sank, and Admiral Philip chose to sink with the ship.

At 6:56, the last battleship of the German Navy, the battleship 'Osterfrisland', refused to surrender under heavy losses and opened the sea valve. A few minutes later, the battleship sank. (To be continued......)
