Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

On the endless Tianzhu Ocean, a fleet full of scars is sailing at a rapid pace.

The Iron Cross flag hanging from the mast, fluttering in the wind.

This fleet is none other than the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

It’s just that the entire Far East Fleet originally had 7 warships, including the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius”, the light cruiser “Shouwang” and the light cruiser “Hunt”, as well as four A-class destroyers.

However, after more than a month of war, only the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius” and two light cruisers remained in the entire Far Eastern Fleet.

The other 4 destroyers have all been sunk.

The tonnage of the destroyer is too small, and the ability to carry strikes is still too weak. In naval battles, once hit by a shell, it is easy to be severely damaged or even sunk.

After the outbreak of the war, the Far Eastern Fleet, loaded with oil and ammunition, sailed out of the military port and entered the Pacific Ocean from the Java Sea, intercepting merchant ships from the Kangaroo Country to the mainland of the empire in the western waters of Kangaroo Country.

In half a month, the merchant ships sunk by them were already as high as twenty.

These were merchant ships, almost all carrying iron ore, cotton, and grain. These resources are indispensable and important resources in war.

A large number of merchant ships were sunk, which immediately made the Royal Navy of the Empire very angry.

The Far East Fleet of the Royal Navy and the Tianzhu Ocean Fleet besieged the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

After a fierce battle, the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy lost four destroyers. The Royal Navy, on the other hand, was sunk by three protected cruisers, four unprotected cruisers and two armored cruisers.

The losses of the Royal Navy were much greater than those of the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

However, on the Tianzhu Ocean, the Royal Navy has an absolute advantage.

Even after the outbreak of war, in order to block the coastline of the Germanic Empire, the Royal Navy had already dispatched all the capital ships back to defend the mainland. However, on the Tianzhu Ocean, there are still several former dreadnoughts.

These former dreadnoughts, although not as powerful as dreadnoughts. But the powerful 305-mm main gun is still not something that the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius” of the Far East Fleet of the German Imperial Navy can withstand.

Moreover, these former dreadnoughts also had thick armor, and the 210mm main gun of the heavy cruiser Sagittarius was difficult to penetrate, let alone fatally damaged.

Fortunately, these former dreadnoughts are slow. Otherwise, the Far Eastern Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy would have nowhere to escape.

Even so, the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy was chased in the Tianzhu Ocean.

If this continues, I am afraid that they will soon be caught up.

Not because of anything else, but because of the lack of supplies. Whether it is fuel or ammunition, as well as living materials, they are becoming more and more scarce.

When leaving their home port, in order to load as much fuel and ammunition as possible, they used almost all the space on the battleship to store tanks and ammunition boxes.

Even Count Spee, the commander of the fleet, had several large oil drums piled up in the cabin.

But even so, after more than a month of war, all kinds of materials are still almost consumed.

“Your Excellency Commander, we will be able to hold out for half a month at most. If we don’t get supplies again, I’m afraid we’ll be caught up by the sun never sets!” “On the heavy cruiser Sagittarius, the captain, Lieutenant Commander Erich, said.

Count Spee nodded: “The situation is very unfavorable for us. The sun never sets and the people are already mobilizing fleets to surround us. The whole Tianzhuyang is no longer safe. ”

“Yes, Your Excellency Commander, we need to leave. But do we enter the Pacific, or the Atlantic? Lieutenant Colonel Erich asked.

Count Spee was also a little hesitant.

The Atlantic Ocean is the nest of the Royal Navy of the Empire, which has assembled a large fleet throughout the Atlantic. If the Far East Fleet of the Imperial Navy enters the Atlantic, it will simply be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!

However, if you enter the Pacific Ocean, you may have a chance to escape. But the biggest problem is that they don’t have enough fuel anymore.

“Sir, I just received a telegram!” The communications officer walked in.

Lieutenant Colonel Erich took the telegram and looked at it, and immediately laughed.

“Your Excellency Commander, good news. A merchant ship was secretly prepared in the country, and in the southern waters of the Atlantic, we could rush to the predetermined waters to meet it. At that time, we will be able to replenish fuel and ammunition, as well as living supplies! Lieutenant Colonel Erich said with a smile.

Count Spee nodded: “This is indeed good news. But once we enter the Atlantic, we will be even more dangerous. Perhaps, we will soon be captured by the main forces of the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Setting Empire and then sunk! ”

“Your Excellency Commander, we are soldiers of the Imperial Navy, even if we really die in battle, we have nothing to fear. As long as it can cause greater losses to the people who do not set the sun, it is enough! Lieutenant Colonel Erich’s face was full of fearless determination.

Count Spee sighed: “Well, turn around at once, bypass the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa, and enter the Atlantic Ocean.” Hopefully, there is a proper plan on the mainland of the empire to rescue us. Otherwise, we would only be able to fight until the last moment and sink with the ship! ”

“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Lieutenant Colonel Erich replied.

Immediately, three warships of the Far Eastern Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy turned on the Tianzhu Ocean.

However, in order to confuse the pursuit fleet of the Royal Navy, they did not go directly to the Cape of Good Hope, but swung around in the northern part of the Tianzhu Ocean, sank several merchant ships of the Sun Never Set Empire, and then sailed into the vast Tianzhu Ocean, preparing to cross the entire Tianzhu Ocean, detour through the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa, and enter the Atlantic Ocean.

The pursuit fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire never sets, and was played by Count Spee and others.

On the entire Tianzhu Ocean route, there is a lot of noise.

Many ships that originally set sail were afraid of being caught by the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy, and even returned to port. This dealt an extremely serious blow to the sea transportation routes of the Sun Never Setting Empire.

The Sun Never Sets Empire was originally a powerful colonial empire, and it was by exploiting the colonies that they had great strength. However, it is impossible to transport large quantities of supplies from the colonies back to the mainland. Then, the war potential of the Sun Never Sets Empire will be greatly weakened. This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable for the Sun Never Sets Empire.
