Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

In the Atlantic, the task force of the Germanic Imperial Navy had already received a telegram from home.

After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Hipper had a smile on his face and handed it to Count Spee.

After reading the telegram, Count Spee also showed a relieved expression on his face.

“The country is ready, and they will launch a large-scale armed patrol in two days.” Or to deter people from setting the sun. Under such circumstances, the sun will not set and people will definitely feel nervous. They had to pull out all their strength to guard against the main forces of the Imperial Navy. This creates a great opportunity for us to storm into the North Sea. Then, all the way into the Baltic Sea, back to the empire itself. If the sun does not set, people can only watch dryly, and there is no way to stop us from going home! Lieutenant General Hipper said.

“yes! My soldiers and I have long been eager to go home. The sun never sets and people will definitely not be able to stop them! Count Spee’s eyes were even more determined.

They have successively operated in the Pacific, Tianzhu Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, not only attacking the sea transportation routes of the sunseters, but also to avoid the pursuit of the sun.

After more than two months and tens of thousands of kilometers, I was finally able to return to my homeland. Moreover, it is still to return to the homeland alive, not to be sent back to the mainland after being turned into ashes. That’s how lucky so many of them are!

“Order the fleet, continue north, we need to arrive at the junction of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in two days, waiting for the right opportunity!” Lieutenant General Hipper ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency, General!” The officers all replied.

On the night of October 2, 1714, the main fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy set off from the Kiel Harbor naval base and entered the North Sea through the Great Belt Strait, the Katghat Strait and the Skagerrak Strait.

Then, make a U-turn and head south along the waters of the eastern North Sea.

Before the annexation of the Kingdom of Danmai, the Germanic Imperial Navy had to go to Wilhelmshaven Naval Base via the Kiel Canal to enter the North Sea. Then there it enters the North Sea.

It can be said that the reason why the Germanic Empire dug the Kiel Canal was, on the one hand, to develop the economy, facilitate maritime transportation, and save freight. Another important reason for this is the convenience of the main naval forces from Kiel Harbour to the Wilhelmshaven naval base via the canal.

However, with the increasing number of capital ships of the Germanic Empire and the increasing tonnage of capital ships, the Kiel Canal has become unusable.

Fortunately, after the Germanic Empire annexed the Danmai Kingdom this time, this problem has been fundamentally solved.

The warships of the Germanic Imperial Navy can no longer worry about being intercepted by the sun and can enter the North Sea directly.

This time, the Germanic Imperial Navy can be described as a big move, except for the latest four ‘Bavarian class’ battleships that are undergoing sea trials and are in high secrecy, and did not participate in this operation, the rest of the capital ships were dispatched.

These include four ‘King-class’ battleships, five ‘Caesar-class’ battleships, the remaining three ‘Deflingel-class’ battlecruisers, four ‘Hergoland-class’ battleships, four ‘Nassau-class’ battleships and the remaining three ‘Moltke-class’ battlecruisers.

A total of 17 battleships and 6 battle cruisers.

Plus more than a dozen heavy cruisers, more than twenty light cruisers, and more than forty destroyers.

The huge fleet is already very strong. It can even be called the main fleet that is engaged in decisive battles at sea.

Although after the Germanic Empire annexed the Danmai Kingdom, it was already difficult for the Sunset Empire to blockade the Germanic Empire. But it is a matter of victory or defeat in this war. The sun did not set or put in a large number of ships to blockade the coastal areas of the Germanic Empire.

So much so that after dawn, after the main fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy entered the North Sea, it immediately caused a shock on the part of the Empire that never sets.

Especially the Germanic Empire dispatched such a huge fleet, it is clear that it is going to fight a decisive battle with the Sun Never Set Empire!

“Oh God! Are the Germans crazy? Are they preparing for a decisive battle with us? When Sir John Fisher learned the news, his face changed drastically.

“Your Excellency, the Royal Navy must deal with the Germans with all its might. They actually dispatched 17 battleships and 6 battle cruisers. Moreover, the number of superdreadnoughts reached 12. We have to be careful! Marshal William May had a serious expression.

“Your Excellency, the Royal Navy Grand Fleet has begun to prepare, and it will all go to sea within an hour.” Admiral Hedworth Moox also said.

“The course of the Germans is to the south, and they are going to enter the Strait that never sets? Or, an attack on the empire itself, or even the imperial capital? Sir John Fisher frowned.

“Sir, we cannot be sure. But we must not allow the Germans to threaten our capital. We must immediately assemble all the main forces to meet the challenge of the Germans. Marshal William May said.

Sir John Fisher thought for a moment, and then said: “Could it be that the Germans want to deal with their fleet in the Atlantic in this way, and want to move the tiger away from the mountain?” ”

“Your Excellency, it is entirely possible. But can we go to the bet? If we did not use the main force this time, so that the Germans seized the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with us, the Royal Navy suffered huge losses. In other words, it led to the shelling of important cities such as Wudu by the Germans. Then, things will be more troublesome. Marshal William May continued.

Sir John Fisher nodded: “Yes! We can’t gamble, we can’t afford to gamble! ”

“Order all the main forces and prepare to deal with the Germans!” Sir John Fisher made the decision.

Soon, the Grand Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire that never set was dispatched.

Because five ‘Vengeance-class’ battleships and three ‘Brave-class’ battlecruisers are still under construction. In addition, they had also sent a large number of warships into the Atlantic before. Therefore, the Royal Navy Grand Fleet can only dispatch 4 ‘Iron Duke-class’ battleships, four ‘King George V-class’ battleships, four ‘Orion-class’ battleships, two ‘Giant-class’ battleships, ‘Neptune’ battleships, three ‘St. Vincent-class’ battleships and three ‘Bellerophon-class’ battleships, plus three ‘Lion-class’ battlecruisers, to deal with the Germanic Imperial Navy.
