"Are the Germans crazy?" Jericho angrily threw the report sent by his men on the table. When the time entered February 1915, the actions of the German fleet suddenly became more frequent, with a large number of submarines and light cruisers.

Under the cover of German pre-dreadnoughts and battlecruisers, they frequently challenged the British Empire's

Although the old pre-dreadnoughts of the blockade were not enough to catch up with the speed of the British light cruisers, they greatly compressed the British defense line. Following the advice of the Admiralty, Betty was originally prepared to go south and enter the Mediterranean to fight. Battlecruisers

The formation has been recovered, but I didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

"The Germans may have noticed our actions. We know that the key to breaking the situation lies in the Mediterranean and in saving Egypt. The Germans also know this very well, so they want to contain us through a series of actions in the North Sea until they open up the connection between the Mediterranean and Egypt.

The traffic in the Indian Ocean merges with the Spey fleet." Betty speculated in the report. He hopes to enter the Mediterranean more than anyone now, but the damn Germans are causing trouble for themselves at this time.

It was not that the British did not take countermeasures. They concentrated more secondary capital ships and light cruisers in this area to try to prevent the Germans from further breakthrough. However, the British fleet, which lacked the support of dreadnoughts, could not resist Hipper's command.

The attack by 4 fast battleships cost 1 pre-dreadnought battleship to be sunk and 2 armored cruisers to be hit.

After the cost of destruction, the British finally realized that such behavior would serve no purpose other than causing the Royal Navy to bleed more blood. With the approval of the Admiralty, Betty was granted a certain degree of freedom of action. And she also obtained an agreement with the Intelligence Department.

With direct contact, he could decide the fleet's actions without informing Jericho. This made Jericho very dissatisfied.

"The fast fleet and the main fleet complement each other. He is the eyes of the grand fleet. And the grand fleet is his body." In private, Jericho complained to his subordinates more than once about the Admiralty's disposal plan.

I sensed Churchill's admiration for Betty. Churchill's aggressiveness and aggressiveness were very much in line with Betty's temper. Moreover, they were also full of hope for the Royal Navy. No, this was no longer hope. It was a kind of superstition. They believed that their opponents would not dare to confront them.

Fight against yourself. Even if your opponent already has the strength to challenge the Grand Fleet.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on February 18, 1915, a powerful fleet was cruising on the sea. Hipper's flag was flying high on the mast of Seydlitz. Behind it was the same-class ship Lützow

and the remaining four fast battleships. Their target was

It's Dogger Sandbank. This place is not too far or too close to the German mainland. The telegram has been sent, using the original code. If the British intercept the telegram and act quickly enough, both sides will

The fleet should meet at Dogger Sandbank.

"The call back from the Meteorological Bureau has arrived. They said it will be clear skies all day long, which is rare good weather in the North Sea." After a while, a staff officer handed the call back to Hipper.

"Today is a good day for fighting, isn't it?" Hipper muttered to himself. Only he knew the true content of this telegram, which showed that the German main fleet led by Scheer had arrived at the designated position. If the British main fleet appeared

, they will come to respond. Note that Scheer's High Seas Fleet will not move until the British main fleet appears. Otherwise, regardless of whether Hipper wins or loses. As long as the war situation does not become unmanageable, Scheer will

Will stand still.

"Order the fleet to prepare for battle and tell the guys that we are going to go to the British coast." Hipper ordered. Of course, the second half of this sentence was obviously false. Hipper's purpose was to destroy the British coast.

Goel Sandbank is waiting for Betty's arrival, instead of actually going to the British coast to find trouble! Set up with the British

What I think is different is that after experiencing the last battle, the officers and soldiers of the German fast fleet were not afraid of the Betty Fleet, but full of confidence. In the last naval battle, the Betty Fleet almost had the upper hand, but they still

He allowed the German fast fleet of 4 ships to escape, and was bitten back.

The middle management of the German Navy and above generally believe that the Hipper fleet can only be driven away when Betty uses all his cards. When the German vanguard fleet is strengthened, the German fleet will not be afraid even of a head-on confrontation! You know, the newly added

The ability of the two battleships to fight against each other is stronger than all previous battleships. Moreover, the Germans also discovered that British armor-piercing bombs had the problem of premature explosion, so they were not afraid of the Betty Fleet and even planned to go through an upright battle to prove their worth!

At the same time, the telegram was intercepted by the British and easily deciphered. At this time, Jericho's fleet was cruising in the north. When Betty got the telegram sent from the intelligence department, her first reaction was that an opportunity had come.

!A complete solution to the German fast fleet, and for the South

Here comes the opportunity to prepare for the voyage to the Mediterranean! Betty believes that if his fleet can gain an advantage in this battle, then the German fleet will definitely not make any big moves in the first half of 1915! And Betty is also convinced that

His fleet is confident.

"Our projection volume is originally higher than that of our opponents. Even if they do some tricks, it will not change this fact. Our speed is faster than the opponent. If it were not for the German High Seas Fleet, Hipper would never be able to return to the port alive.

, and this time, they are sure to pass through Dogel Sand Bank, and we can intercept them here!" Betty said excitedly to his men, and mentioned a place called Dogel Sand in the telegram.

Continent, so Betty could only be sure that the German route would pass through this point. As for how the other routes would go, it was uncertain. So after much deliberation, Betty decided to end it with Hipper here! And it was even more frustrating.

What he was proud of was that he could catch up with the time from now on! God and the German Navy were so cooperative with him! Betty even wondered if he should say a prayer and thank God first before talking about it.

Betty was decisive. After notifying Jericho and the Admiralty, he ordered the fleet to prepare to light fire and sail. After the steam pressure reached the sailing requirements, he did not hesitate at all and took his 8 battlecruisers and 8

The light cruiser and a dozen destroyers left the anchorage and headed for Dogger Sand Bank. He even

I didn’t even wait for Jericho’s reply! But it doesn’t matter, there is nothing overstepping the bounds in terms of procedure. First Sea Lord Churchill expressed his agreement with Betty’s action and said that he was responsible for all administrative issues, so,

Betty's fleet sailed towards the battlefield with an uncertain future full of confidence and hope.

"Betty went out like this?" When Jericho received the telegram, he asked in surprise. This seemed to him too hasty! A whole eight battlecruisers were taken away by a telegram! But this time

This was obviously not the time to hold Betty accountable. He needed to ensure that Betty's fleet could come back safely! So the big ship that had been training in northern England

The team will quickly go south to meet the Betty fleet that has already set off, but even so, Jericho found that when he arrived at the battlefield, Betty may have been fighting with the opponent for about 4 hours! You know, the speed of Betty's fleet is 25

At about 21 knots, the speed of your own fleet is only 21 knots! Coupled with the other party's early actions and your own position!

Both sides believed that they had captured the other party's famous family. The Germans had already considered the issue of code leaks this time, so they deliberately set up a game to test the correctness of this inference. The British obtained the German Navy's code book.

Judging from the situation of both sides, the Germans clearly have the advantage, but at this time, Hipper also has some worries. The first worry is where is Jericho's large fleet? The second worry is, if the powerful

What should I do if the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship is commissioned and incorporated into the Betty Fleet?

Especially the latter. The Queen Elizabeth-class battleship is also a fast battleship. The theoretical speed is the same as that of our own fleet, but the actual speed is definitely faster than our old ships Blücher and Vondertann. If the other party becomes

If there are 10 ships, then I'm afraid it will be heavy

Repeat the process last time, just avoid people and don't dare to fight at all! The Americans have actually told the world how powerful the Chinese Navy's 15-inch heavy artillery is. Even if the British's is just a little bit powerful, it will be very powerful. Of course, this

At that time, Hipper had no idea how bad the British artillery shells were!

The two fleets just sailed towards the same place under the arrangement of fate. The main fleets of both sides were unable to support due to various reasons. If someone could be familiar with the deployment of both sides at the same time, then he might feel a bit like a duel in the Middle Ages.

Select two evenly matched troops and then compete. Both sides believe that they will be the winner of this battle.

Both parties took into account all the variables. As time passed by, the fleets of both sides were rapidly approaching. According to the speculation of the German Navy, the official meeting time of the two sides would be around 9 o'clock in the morning. This is a very good time.

Just like the naval battle in Malta, both sides have one day to decide the outcome until one of them dies or surrenders!

"It's daybreak. Maybe this will be the last time you see the sunrise." Betty said, looking at the sky that was gradually clearing. The light cruiser serving as the vanguard has been released. About ten nautical miles in front of her, their mission will be to search for each other.

Battleship. At the same time, Hipper's fleet had also arrived at the battle area, and he was also searching for the Betty fleet. The mist on the sea began to gradually dissipate, and the sun hung in the sky.

The golden sunshine is shining in the sky. This day is a rare good weather in the North Sea. The goddess of war will also judge the victory, defeat and survival of the two powerful fleets on this day! This is the first showdown between the two sides! It is the old maritime power of Britain.

Will she win, or will a powerful challenger win? The goddess of war is waiting to see, and she can't wait to see the sacrifices sent by the two superpowers this time!
