Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Three battle cruisers and six light cruisers that never set were all killed by us, and there is not one left!” Count Spee smiled and seemed very satisfied with this victory.

After all, the three capital ships of the Sun Bu Ren were killed, and on the side of the Germanic Imperial Navy, the battlecruisers “Lütsov” and “Goben” were only slightly damaged. The combat effectiveness is not damaged at all, and the battle can continue.

Of the three heavy cruisers, only the “Sagittarius” heavy cruiser was hit hard. The other two are intact.

A few light cruisers, only suffered some minor injuries, and the injuries were not serious. The most important thing is that the speed of the battleship has not been affected, and it can still sail at high speed.

“What happened to Sagittarius’ injuries? Can it still keep up? Lieutenant General Hipper asked.

“Your Excellency General, the situation of the Sagittarius is very bad, the power system is damaged, and the speed has dropped to less than 20 knots. Moreover, it is still declining. An officer replied.

“Can it be fixed?” Count Spee hurriedly asked.

You know, the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius” is the flagship of the Far East Fleet of the German Imperial Navy, and it is also the past ship of Count Spee.

“It is necessary to go back to the port, use mechanical equipment to cut the steel plates, and replace the main power equipment. With current conditions at sea, we simply cannot do this. The officer replied.

Count Spee’s face suddenly flashed a trace of loneliness.

“In that case, we can only abandon the Sagittarius. Fortunately, we took out three battle cruisers and six light cruisers, lost one heavy cruiser, and we also made a lot of money. Your Excellency, I believe that when you return to the mainland, you will get a more powerful warship. In the shipyards of the empire, there are many advanced warships under construction! Lieutenant General Hipper said.

Count Spee nodded: “I know that the Sagittarius can no longer return to the mainland. Instead of letting him fall into the hands of the sun, it is better for us to sink him ourselves. Able to inflict huge losses on people who never set the sun, the Sagittarius is already very good. In the future, we will serve on other warships and continue to fight with no one on the same day! ”

Subsequently, Count Spee personally gave the order to open the sea valve of the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius”.

Sea water poured into the heavy cruiser Sagittarius, causing the heavy cruiser with a displacement of 10,800 tons to sink. In the end, it completely sank into the icy ocean.

The sailors on the battleship were transferred to other warships.

The entire task force quickly left this sea area.

The battle that did not fall on the same day just now lasted a full hour. Perhaps, many Royal Navy warships are already on their way.

Although the strength of the task force is still very strong, if it is entangled by the Royal Navy and surrounded by the Royal Navy’s continuous main fleet, it will definitely not be able to return to the Germanic Empire alive.

At this moment, on the sea surface only tens of kilometers away from the task force of the Germanic Imperial Navy, the 2nd battle cruiser detachment of the Royal Navy of the Empire is sailing rapidly.

On the flagship battlecruiser “Indefatigable”, Rear Admiral Roger was reading a telegram.

But then, the smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by a deep horror.

“Oh God! Order the fleet to stop advancing and turn immediately. Major General Roger gave the order.

All three ‘Invincible-class’ battle cruisers of the 1st Battle Cruiser Detachment were taken out, and none of the remaining light cruisers escaped. Moreover, the whole battle lasted only an hour before it ended.

This shows how strong the strength of the Germanic Imperial Navy is.

Rear Admiral Roger knew that the three ‘Indefatigable-class’ battle cruisers under his command would definitely not be much stronger than the three ‘Invincible-class’ battle cruisers. Once they encountered the Germanic Imperial Navy, they would definitely follow in the footsteps of the three ‘Invincible-class’ battle cruisers. Under such circumstances, Major General Roger naturally would not go to die.

Frightened, Rear Admiral Roger immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and flee the sea. At the same time, this news was also reported to the country. Ask the country to send more and more powerful fleets to reinforce them and encircle the Germanic fleet.

And the Imperial Navy Command was equally shocked when it learned of the total annihilation of the 1st Battle Cruiser Detachment. They never expected that this battle would actually be fought like this.

Originally, they all thought that a whole six battle cruisers, as well as a large number of light cruisers, were enough to destroy the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

But he did not expect that not only did he not succeed, but he lost a whole three battle cruisers. This is already an extremely heavy blow to the Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets.

“Oh God! Damn Germans, how did their battle cruisers slip into the Atlantic? Could it be that such a big hole has appeared in our naval blockade? What’s wrong with that? Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Fisher, was furious.

Prime Minister Asquith had just learned the news, but summoned him to the Prime Minister’s Office and scolded him fiercely.

This made Sir John Fisher extremely aggrieved and angry.

“Sir, the Germans must have quietly sent a fleet into the Atlantic to join their Far East fleet. They dispatched two battle cruisers, as well as two heavy cruisers, as well as several light cruisers. This is already a very powerful force. There was even a battle cruiser armed with a 380 mm gun. It is understandable that our ‘Invincible-class’ battle cruisers are not their opponents. Marshal William May, commander of the Royal Navy, said.

“Yes, Your Excellency, the gap in strength between the two sides is too great. Major General Oliver and the others have done their best, and they are still defeated, and there is no way around it. Next, the Royal Navy must send more powerful warships into the Atlantic Ocean to wipe out the Germanic fleet, and it is absolutely impossible for them to return to the Germanic Empire alive. Otherwise, we won’t have another chance. The Royal Navy Chief of Staff, Admiral Hedworth Moox, said viciously.

There is no doubt that this fiasco of the Royal Navy is a complete shame for them!
