Chapter 864: The Opening of the Feast

At 2 o'clock in the morning on May 14, 1915, with the issuance of the fleet order, the German fast fleet began to prepare to light a fire. As early as three days ago, the submarines responsible for warning and reconnaissance missions had already been sent out.

Lurking in the sea. Large airships have also risen into the sky. They will be divided into two parts. One part will be used to search for the whereabouts of the British fleet on the vast sea, while the other part will directly

It will be used as the reconnaissance force of the main fleet. Of course, in this era, the reconnaissance of airships and aircraft are subject to weather restrictions, so after considering the suggestions of the meteorological department, Scheer decided to launch the battle today. One of the very important

The reason is that today is probably a good day. And because of the existence of airships, Scheer's main fleet can offset the reconnaissance problems caused by the lack of Hipper's fleet.

"16 capital ships, 10 of which are super-dreadnoughts and 6 of which are fearless, with a total of 88 350mm heavy guns and 72 305mm heavy guns. I never thought that I would control such a powerful fleet. This is my honor."

He is so proud! And today I will lead him to challenge the most powerful fleet in the world!" Scheer looked out the window and was getting ready to go.

The fleet can be said to be very exciting. Hipper is aggressive, and Scheer is even more aggressive. However, the difference is that Hipper commands a fast fleet that can retreat calmly in most cases, while he commands a fleet

The pillar of a country on the sea! If something goes wrong, both of them will be destroyed. At this time, he understands Jericho very well. It's not that Jericho doesn't want to make progress, but that he really doesn't dare to act arbitrarily!

The 16 battleships were divided into 4 formations, and the numbers were reshuffled for this battle. 4 Kaiser-class battleships were the 1st Battleship Squadron, 4 Königs-class battleships were the 2nd Battleship Squadron, Seydlitz,

The two fast battleships Lütsov were formed into a group with two Helgeland-class battleships.

The earliest four Nassau-class battleships are the fourth battleship squadron. The entire fleet navigation process will be composed of four four-ship squadrons into a box formation, and the battle line will be launched according to the fleet number during the battle. Scheer's flagship will be located in the fourth battleship squadron.

The five-seat König battleship can better take care of the entire battle line in this position.

In addition, Scheer also brought almost all the light cruisers and torpedo ships. This time the number of light cruisers dispatched by the German Navy finally reached more than 10! (Well, the Germans have more battleships than light cruisers!

) and there are more than 60 torpedo boats of various kinds. Well, there are also a bunch of anti-torpedo ships improved from high-speed civilian ships. These thin-skinned dumpling-like things will form the last line of defense to intercept the British lightning strike force.

And in this battle, the number of participants in the German Navy also exceeded the highest level in history. Historically, a total of 45,000 people from the German High Seas Fleet participated in this peak showdown. This time, including the submarine force and

The total number of combat personnel of the German Navy has reached

About 50,000 people! More importantly, this fleet is more powerful than the historical German fleet in the Battle of Jutland. Although the number of battleships above the dreadnought is one less. But on this plane, Germany

The High Seas Fleet has a total of 10 super-dreadnoughts. Its firepower and comprehensive performance are definitely not comparable to that of the German fleet in history!

"General, General Hipper's fast fleet is gone?" Just as Scheer looked at the fleet outside the window with emotion, an officer pointed at Hipper's fleet that had slowly sailed out of the military port in the distance and said, this

From a distance, the fleet looks the same as the lineup that participated in the Battle of Dogger Sandbank, but

I knew that the last time I went to Hipper, I was full of confidence, but this time, it was tantamount to risking my life! "I wish them a happy journey!" For this subordinate who is very responsible and dedicated to his duties, Scheer can only give a blessing. He can only give them a blessing.

All it does is prevent the blood of the fast fleet from being shed in vain, that's all.

At the other end of the North Sea, the British fleet had already left the port. Betty's nine fast battleships were sailing 10 nautical miles in front of Jericho's fleet. Only with Jericho's permission could Betty take this fleet to the world.

The most elite fast fleet rushed to the predetermined battlefield. The British had already obtained the intelligence and concluded that this time Germany quickly

The fleet will continue to harass the British coast. Logically speaking, Betty is already fully confident at this time to suppress the opponent, but Jericho is still worried. He always suspects that there is a huge shadow behind Hipper's fleet. Once Betty has a slight chance,

If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss. So Jericho decided to personally lead the main fleet to fight for Betty.

In the hands of Jericho, he also concentrated the most elite navy of a country, the main fleet of the British Royal Navy Grand Fleet. This powerful force that can shake the world's oceans is under his command. Although it was not long before the Dogger Sand Bank.

The British Royal Navy suffered a heavy blow during the war, but Britain's strong shipbuilding capabilities and sufficient funds would soon make up for the loss.

Due to the losses caused by Ti, the current Royal Navy is more elite than the Royal Navy before the Battle of Dogger Bank. He has no reason not to be confident! Because according to his intelligence, the German High Seas Fleet has only 16 capital ships in total. This fleet

It can defeat Betty's vanguard fleet and its own main fleet, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat two British fleets at the same time.

After thinking about it, Jericho believed that his plan was flawless. Whether he was facing a fast fleet or the entire German navy, Jericho had a complete way to deal with it. The only variable was that the Germans were one year into the war.

Has any new ship been launched during this period? But at least it has been

From the intelligence point of view, no new warships were found to have joined it. But does Britain really control everything about the German navy? Jericho is a little unsure. But the war is approaching, and it is useless to care about these. All he can do is

Fight this war well and return to the port with victory!

In this way, the two most powerful fleets in the world embarked on a journey. This was a fateful showdown. Two countries that also yearned for the ocean would use the most powerful and fierce means of mankind to decide the outcome. Both fleets

The goddess of war has placed her at both ends of the scale. Will the final winner be the British Empire, which has a glorious history of hundreds of years and has been invincible throughout the world, or the European continent that has just emerged, taking advantage of the wave of the second industrial revolution?

What about the overlord?

The total displacement of the two fleets reaches more than 1.5 million tons. These tens of thousands of tons of steel giants are armed with the most advanced human technology. They will enter the battlefield under the control of the best warriors in the world and fight for victory and glory.

The battle will surely go down in history. Regardless of winning or losing, both sides will be remembered by the world!
