On the night of September 1, 1914, three huge warships slowly sailed out of the Wilhelmshaven Naval Base. Escorted by several light cruisers and destroyers, they left the naval port and sailed into the vast Atlantic Ocean. These three huge battleships are the "Derfflinger-class" battlecruisers of the German Navy, and they are also powerful capital ships that the German Navy has been hiding in the snow.
In order to hide their strength, they were not even sent out during the battle of breaking the diplomatic relationship. But now, in order to break the trap set by the British and make the British suffer a big loss, Qin Tian finally decided to send them out.
Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, commander of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, personally directed this operation. Therefore, he took the battlecruiser "Derfflinger" as his flagship, commanded these battlecruisers, and joined the upcoming naval battle.
Although, it is already night. But under the bright moonlight, the figure of the "Derfflinger-class" battlecruiser still looks so tall and straight, with a strong deterrent force. In particular, the 380mm main gun covered by a thick gun coat exudes a fearful atmosphere.
Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, standing on the bridge, looked at the huge battleship under his feet, feeling overwhelmed. As the commander of the High Seas Fleet, the burden on his shoulders is undoubtedly very heavy. It can be said that he shouldered the dream of the German navy defeating the British navy and dominating the world's oceans. If it is a person with a weak will, it may have been crushed long ago. However, Admiral Reinhard Scheer did not. Because of the strong strength of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, his waist can always be straight.
"Come on, British. This time, let you see the true strength of the German Empire Navy. The current German Empire Navy is no longer the weak offshore navy. We have enough strength to defeat you and let you know , the price of provoking the German Empire." Admiral Reinhard Scheer swore secretly in his heart.
For every officer and soldier of the German navy, watching the British navy show off its power in the ocean, and even oppress Germany step by step with its strong strength, is undoubtedly a great shame to them. Now, they finally have the opportunity and the strength to take revenge. This is undoubtedly something to make them excited.
"Send a telegram to General Hipper and General Spee and let them act according to the predetermined plan. It's up to them to destroy the four British battlecruisers 'King George V'. We will be on the Germans. When the ambush appears, attack again." Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.
Soon, the fleet began blackout. The entire fleet sailed on the aircraft carrier under the cover of night. They will break through the blockade of the British as soon as possible and enter the vast Atlantic Ocean.
On the Atlantic Ocean, the 1st and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadrons of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet are cruising the vast ocean, looking for targets to attack.
On the battlecruiser "Blücher", Lieutenant General Hipper, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened.
"General, this is a telegram from Your Excellency Commander." The communications officer delivered the telegram to Lieutenant General Hipper.
"Haha, I knew that we would not let go of this opportunity. Order the fleet to turn around immediately, contact the 2nd battlecruiser squadron, and join them as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Hipper read the telegram , couldn't help laughing. He had received information that Britain was mobilizing a large fleet from Canada. It's just that he didn't dare to act rashly when he didn't get a clear order. Now, the German Navy's High Seas Fleet has officially made a decision to eat this huge fleet of the British, and has also dispatched the 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruisers to participate in the battle. The Navy is determined.
On the battlecruiser "Moltke" of the German Navy, Lieutenant General Spee also received a telegram from Admiral Reinhard Scheer. After reading the telegram, Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered the fleet to turn around and prepare to act according to the predetermined plan.
After sinking the battlecruiser "Lion", Lieutenant General Spee has become a star figure in the German Navy. Even Kaiser Wilhelm II commended him and decided to award him a medal himself. This made Lieutenant General Spei very excited. At the same time, he also liked the feeling of sinking the enemy's capital ship more.
Now, the British actually want to send a fleet from Canada back to the British mainland. Although this is a trap, it still makes Lieutenant General Spee very excited. If he can seize this opportunity, the fleet under his command may achieve another or even more victories. After all, the performance of the "Moltke-class" battlecruiser is unquestionable, even against battleships of the same level as the British, it still has a certain advantage. Not to mention the British battlecruisers.
Of course, if you want to pick up a bargain, it is best to bump into the British'Invincible-class' battlecruiser and'Indefatigable-class' battlecruiser. These two levels of battlecruisers are undoubtedly the most **** existence. Once they ran into them, they would surely die.
At a time when the German Navy had decided to eat the bait that the British Navy had deliberately laid down, the British Navy didn't know this. They are still implementing the plan step by step.
The British Navy's "Invincible-class" battlecruiser, the remaining two of the "Indefatigable-class" battlecruiser and the "Lion-class" battlecruiser, plus the "Tiger" battlecruiser, all rushed to the battlefield. This time the operation was still under the command of Lieutenant General David Beatty. He placed his flagship on the battlecruiser 'Tiger'.
In addition, the four "Iron Duke" battleships of the British Navy also secretly left Scapa Flow, entered the Atlantic Ocean, and rushed to the battlefield.
In this upcoming naval battle, the navies of both Britain and Germany have invested their main force. Although, not all the main force, but also very powerful. And this is probably a rehearsal before the final decisive battle between the navies of both sides.
Both of them are ambitious and want to inflict a heavy blow on the other side in this operation. The German Navy hopes to take the opportunity to severely damage the British Navy and gain further advantages. The British Navy, on the other hand, wanted to get rid of the German Navy's broken fleet in one fell swoop and protect the maritime transportation lines they depended on for survival.
