"The German fleet has dispatched again?" With a click, the cigarette in Jericho's hand fell on the table, burning a small hole in the tablecloth. "It's only been more than a month, what do they want to do?" Jericho said with some annoyance,

He had just dealt two heavy blows to the Germans. He originally thought that the North Sea should live in peace for a while. Now he is considering the list of fleets heading to the Mediterranean. However, the Germans have moved again. They are simply an immortal force.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, but this time their target is not the North Sea. It seems to be General Essen's Russian Baltic Fleet. Several new figures appeared among the warships that attacked this time. These are definitely not the Germans we know.

Battleships, they are bigger and more powerful than the King. If I guessed correctly, they should be battleships equipped with 15-inch guns." The adjutant next to him said and put a document in front of Jericho's desk.

"Our technical advantage only lasted a few months." Looking at the pictures in the document, Jericho was in a very bad mood. A powerful warship equipped with 10 15-inch naval guns finally came out. According to the characteristics of the Germans

, Needless to say, the defense of this battleship is

The firepower also surpasses the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships. Their appearance and layout are similar to the King-class battleships. They can almost be regarded as enlarged versions of the King-class battleships. And there are 4 of them at once! 40 15-inch naval guns! When I think of this,

Jericho has a headache!

"The Germans dispatched a total of 10 battleships, including two fast battleships, and the rest were 4 König-class battleships and 4 new battleships. This time the German navy sent out all its elites, and General Essen may be in danger.

Thomas on the side looked at the document and analyzed it. "The Germans are most likely planning to start from the root this time."

Basically solving the threat of the Russian fleet. In this operation, the Germans also brought a large number of destroyers and minesweepers, and it is said that landing ships appeared. They may intend to completely capture the Gulf of Riga, or even St. Petersburg! And General Essen may be afraid

It is difficult to stop. Even relying on turrets and mine arrays will only delay it."

"The Germans have directly stabbed Russia's vital point! And we have no good way to do this. The Germans' west wall mine defense system is too complete, and we have to send a fleet to support the Mediterranean." Thomas looked at it.

He looked at the map and said helplessly.

"There is another question. What if the Germans suddenly move westward while part of the main force of the Grand Fleet is moving south? The Germans still have 20 capital ships, accounting for two-thirds of the Grand Fleet. They are qualitatively stronger.

. Even if we only send 2 super-dreadnought squadrons, the remaining warships may be difficult to cope with the current situation! The other party only has to go through the Kiel Canal to get to the North Sea, and it will take a long time for us to return from the Mediterranean to the North Sea.

More importantly, it will take a long time to deal with the Italian fleet. If this is the time..." Thomas said to the end, he was also frightened into a cold sweat by his own thoughts. After more than 2 years of fighting.

The Allied navy lost more than it won. The losses were far greater than those of its opponents. After all these struggles, the gap in naval strength between the two sides has been significantly narrowed. If something happens to the Grand Fleet, then the defeat of the Allied forces is a sure thing!

"Hiss..." Jericho couldn't help but take a breath of air. What Thomas said was definitely not alarmist. God knows how Essen's 4 super-dreadnoughts and 2 dreadnoughts can face the 10 elite battleships of the German Navy.

No matter how long you persist, Borodino-class battleships were mediocre to begin with, and even more so after more than 10 years

Rubbish. The new super-dreadnought is indeed pretty good. But it can’t even beat the King, let alone the German super battleship equipped with 10 15-inch guns. More importantly, the Germans still have backup. There are still battleships.

sent, but the Russians have nothing left, and the new warships are still being outfitted, so they are really useless!

Once the German Navy has solved the Russian fleet, what is the next step? Naturally, the whole army will return to the North Sea to find trouble of its own, and if the main fleet is not strong enough at this time, then the situation will be very bad! Unless the Queen Elizabeth class

Both battleships and R-class battleships are there, otherwise

If so, Jericho himself is not sure. Battleships such as the Iron Duke are weaker than the King-class battleships. The Queen Elizabeth-class is also weaker than the new German battleships, so in order to ensure his own safety, it seems that the 15-inch gun battleship cannot be sent.

In other words, we can only send out one or two ships.

Jericho and Thomas immediately began to evaluate the Mediterranean fleet of the Allied Powers. There were 15 capital ships, 3 dreadnoughts, and 12 super-dreadnoughts. Among them, 11 were 350mm gun warships, but one was a new Chinese warship that had beaten New Mexico.

two people

I’m very confused. They destroyed the most cutting-edge American warship in less than half an hour. Although there was some luck involved, but think about it, the British 343mm super-dreadnought is far inferior to American products. If this is bad luck, maybe

It will be destroyed in a few minutes.

Obviously, the Allies' super-dreadnoughts are not ordinary goods. The British first need to use 6 343mm super-dreadnoughts to make up the number. In addition, they also need 2 R-class battleships to hold down the position. One of them will deal with the Kaiser.

As a result, the British 343mm artillery super-dreadnoughts were almost completely exhausted, but the Grand Fleet still had 8 battleships equipped with 15-inch guns. And Thomas's fast fleet still needed all

The full tail has maneuverability and reconnaissance advantages. Overall, even if the German fleet attacks in full, the British fleet does not need to be afraid. Of course, Jericho does not know that Scheer is considering a battleship firepower upgrade plan, so the 6 German fleets

Dreadnoughts were simply ignored. After all, in the Battle of Jutland, apart from drowning a battleship with cannonballs, the German dreadnoughts had nothing to gain. Light resistance and no output would be enough!

The support fleet has been arranged, but the commander has no suitable choice. It will definitely not work to let the French take command. The last time they lost was a mess, this time they must not let the British suffer as well. Betty? This guy has also been defeated repeatedly. And his style is too much.

strength, advantage

Under the circumstances, Betty is a strong player, but it would be hard to tell if they were evenly matched. Jericho thought for a while and it would be better to let Thomas go. This guy is calm, and he just won a fight and is very popular. Even if he is at a disadvantage, he can be safe.

Come back with the fleet.

Just when the list of British Fleet personnel and warships was almost drawn up, an official document from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was sent to the Department of the Navy. The U.S. Navy hoped to send senior generals to participate in the war as observers, and the first person on the list was

It's Sims, this unlucky guy who was beaten by the Chinese navy in the Far East. If you want to say that the battleship loses in performance, it's a hardware problem, but then Deng Shichang

A scolding and mishandling is a problem of ability. Although other generals in the U.S. Navy may not have done a better job handling this matter than Sims, who made him unlucky? Just like the Pearl Harbor incident in history

Admiral Kimmel, who was forced to retire early, was just like Vice Admiral Short. This incident could only be considered unlucky for him. So, after losing the title of Fleet Commander, he was swept here by the US Navy!
