This is a volley of the Brandenburg at a distance of about 8,000 meters. It actually made a contribution with one blow. It won it so easily without getting a shell!

Warm cheers rang out in the German team, and without any words of encouragement, they collectively released several times of their enthusiasm for fighting.

Eight thousand meters! This is the first time in the history of Western naval warfare - let's not mention the Chinese fleet's 10,000 meters of killing ten years ago.

In the history of the military evolution of the Western Navy, tactical changes were derived from a series of upgrades along with the types of warships and the range, accuracy, use of optical range-finding instruments, etc. If it were not for the intrusion of Yang Hao and others, until the appearance of the dreadnought, countries were still discussing the possibility of a seven-kilometer combat range. Optical range-finding instruments and new turret aiming, and the innovation of the entire ship's shooting command system slowly pushed this distance forward.

But now it is different. Not to mention that the construction competition for dreadnoughts began seven or eight years in advance, and from the beginning, all countries rushed to hit more than ten kilometers to strike. Even more unrestrained naval tactical experts even proposed to open fire and bombard the distance 15 kilometers.

In the past, this had exceeded the range of the main gun. However, with the practical exercises of Chinese warships, countries have developed artillery technology in a crazy way, taking out a 35mm main gun with a range of more than 15 kilometers in the shortest time, and after a few years, they evolved to an excellent 5-diameter 12-inch gun at the fastest speed, successfully pushing the range over 2 kilometers.

In the past decade, the British developed high-range main guns of various calibers such as 13.5 inches and 3mm in one go; no one in the Germans, Americans, Italy, Russia, and France would not fall behind, and repeatedly pushed the main guns upwards. The range was not enough? Then lengthen the tube. If the turret is too heavy, it would be too heavy to bear it? Then take drugs.

In short, the caliber of the main gun in the whole world is expanding wildly, and the range is constantly expanding. Up to now, the cannons (not counting China) that have been made by various countries are undoubtedly the first 5-diameter 12-inch cannons developed by the Germans themselves. They have been designed and produced, but the 12-inch cannons of the Russians who have not yet served in the warships will come from behind in terms of life and power. However, at that time, the Germans will use the 45-diameter 356mm produced by China to suppress them again.

The Americans are not humming, they are not haggling. They have successfully developed 5-digit 12-inch cannons and installed corresponding warships. In terms of performance, they are not much the same as those of the Germans. A large part of the reason is that Yang Hao's version of the naval cannon was originally a copy of the original Americans.

The world overlord, the most powerful naval power, the British Empire, fell behind in the competition for naval guns! The 45-diameter 35mm gun they developed was the tail of the crane. After several twists and turns, they successfully developed 5-diameter ones, but the result was insufficient lifespan and worrying accuracy. The most intolerable thing is that the rate of fire is only 1.5 rounds per minute, which is twice as slower than other countries!

The British, unwilling to fail, developed a 13.5mm/45l main gun, barely maintaining their face. But it was only a few days since the German warship came back with a 14-inch main gun and slapped it in the face!

In short, over the past decade, the world's naval ship construction technology and naval tactics have undergone earth-shaking changes. The levels of the great powers and second- and third-rate countries have suddenly increased, and even reached a point where they cannot catch up with them later.

Except for China, the great powers have no theoretical experience in long-distance (meter-1 meter) combat. The various tactics they designed are upgraded along the equipment, and their practical ability is worrying.

However, the Germans quietly took a little experience from China and spent nearly a year to simulate training. In terms of familiarity, they naturally had much more familiarity than others.

So, when the battle really happens, the extra experience value will be immediately converted into actual results. It is still so gorgeous, it is simply too exciting!

The success of one shot in the eight thousand meters brought great confidence to the Germans. Major General Spe pretended to be reserved and calmed down without losing his composure. The young officers ignored that, their eyes shone with excitement, and they were ready to clean up the other warships.

On the other hand, the British were all confused.

They have all heard that in the naval battles in the Far East, hits ten kilometers away more than once. But most people think that it was a lie made by the Chinese exaggerating their military achievements and the navies of various countries to cover up their failures. Hits ten kilometers away? You can take a look at me first?

Not to mention ten years ago, now, the UK has equipped a shooting sight, and the Drell fire control table is launched in advance, and the nine-foot pedestal rangefinder has pushed the accurate shooting distance of the naval battle to 1 meter. In terms of British experience, it only takes two volleys to determine and calculate the precise position of the enemy ship, and obtain a 2% volley hit rate at a distance of meter.

This is already quite amazing data. If you make the proud British admit that China's technology is ahead of them, it's better to kill them!

The "Cornwall" was killed from 8,000 meters. Let's not talk about the problem of death and explosion, which has not been solved for more than ten years. Judging from the impression of Rear Admiral Stoddart, it is immediately determined that the Germans on the opposite side must have obtained the corresponding technical equipment!

"The Germans must have optical range measurement and volley command equipment, and their main guns are also quite amazing. Judging from the water columns splashed from the shells, the caliber of the gun is likely to be more than 12 inches."

He kept calculating various data in his mind, and the Major General's face became extremely ugly! Because if he made such a correct judgment, it would mean that no existing warship in the entire British Empire could beat the four big guys on the other side!

The latest and most powerful battleships are not good, and they are even more intimate!

But the problem is that now the few of their warships are not far from each other, all within a range of ten kilometers!

Major General Stodat was decisive in killing and immediately ordered: "All people broke through in a straight line at full speed! Don't hesitate or stay! Once you rush through the enemy's strike range, evacuate directly to the north, and don't bother!"

Yes, he changed his mind! Because he already knew that according to previous estimates, there was only one result - the Germans were intact, and the warships and all crew members of the British Empire would sacrifice unnecessary sacrifices, which would only show the courage of the British Navy.

But it was a pity. It was a bit late to his order.

The fleets of both sides charged face to face. After the Germans successfully seized the T-head, the four ships staggered two parallel positions in front and back, cutting horizontally into the British fleet, and after meeting, they aimed at the targets and carried out uninterrupted artillery strikes.

It is not a one-on-one single practice, but a fast aiming speed and powerful artillery. It even uses 15mm secondary cannons to target British warships that are reachable from three distances, middle and far respectively. It carries out continuous and indiscriminate bombardment!

It is equivalent to saying that the lateral bombardment firepower of the four warships, from the first to the last, aims at more than one enemy ship that enters the range at the same time. Although the two arrays of warships on the outside will cause the two warships on the outside to be unable to fire at a considerable angle, otherwise it is easy to accidentally injure the warship. However, when both sides enter parallel positions, they can gather fires in four and take care of other enemy ships by the way!

In this way, the British warships that plunged into the battlefield only had two of them greeted the four twelve main guns and secondary guns with the front, and soon became 12 36 guns and pounded them together!

When the "Cornwall" was sunk, all four British warships entered the strike range.

So Major General Spe ordered the flagship to concentrate firepower on the farthest "Carnafon", and with the subsequent main guns and deputy guns, taking care of the flagship "Defense". Other warships followed suit, with a total of sixty or seventy main guns, which woven a dense explosion craze in the entire sea area!

In just a few minutes, all the other three warships were shot. None of them could withstand the heavy blow of 45 times the 356mm cannon. The armored ship was still a heavy cruiser. Faced with bombardment with more than 4mm armor-piercing capabilities (this is a shrinking version of the shell), they simply took the gun away.

Before they could rush out of the water covered by bullet rain, they were all destroyed by excessive hits. They exploded one after another and sank heroically!

From beginning to end, the British showed fearless courage and insisted on firing and fighting back. Although the blind cat hit a dead mouse, they added a few black spots to the German warships. In the end, they could not resist the gap in the absolute sense.

From Major General Stodat, more than 90% of British officers and soldiers died heroically and became ghosts under the Pacific Ocean.

Major General Spe did not show much excitement. He was a battle of hammer smashing walnuts. Victory was inevitable, and it was a shame to let the other party run away. Fortunately, the young men did not do bad things, and the one who started the best was quick and neat, very beautiful!

In private, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly thanked the British, and he was really good at cooperating!

If we were not four broiler battleships, but four slightly weaker main battleships, and they would be hard-bombed face to face, the result would definitely not be so satisfactory.

He knew very well that the British navy was not bragging, and the real world overlord was not a joke. Even if the ship was rough and thick in skin and comprehensive defense, and had fierce artillery fire and first-class performance, it would definitely be impossible to avoid being hit by the enemy ship. By then, even if the bombing was not restored, the young men who lacked experience and record proved could still maintain stable performance in the continuous bomb explosion?

That is still an unknown number!

From the exchanges with the Chinese Navy, he got a very frank statement. The reason why the Chinese Navy won those naval battles was that it was based on its absolute advantage in equipment and surpassed the enemy in terms of range, accuracy, firing rate, speed, etc., and took the initiative to attack. If it hits, it will never hesitate. All officers and soldiers did not have too many worries, and would not face too many shells, so they could attack so easily and smoothly.

If you were caught in a hard battle with the later joint navies of various countries, you might be able to fight like this.

But if you fight a few more times, continuous victory will cultivate enough self-confidence. Over the past ten years, the Chinese Navy has also matured from raw melon seeds. At least, they will never be afraid of confronting the enemy head-on.

Major General Spe was deeply inspired. Although he had four strongest battleships, he still had never thought of using them to provoke the British navy head-on. He also wanted to learn from the Chinese, start with the weaker enemies, and use continuous victory to hone the brave, fearless, calm and calm navy soldiers.

The British are so informed and tactful that they actually came to their doorstep. This is a great cooperation!

Major General Spey believed that if he had such victory a few more times, he and the German soldiers of four warships would definitely become the backbone of the Imperial Navy! At that time, the German Navy would not need to conceal the North Sea and dare not come out. The entire vast Atlantic Ocean, even the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, can practice with the British!

Waiting quietly for the soldiers to cheer, the Major General ordered: "The whole ship continues to move forward, bypass Cape Horn, and enter the Atlantic Ocean!"

Otto, the son who was following him, was stunned and couldn't help asking him: "General, shouldn't we send someone to rescue the surviving British?"

The navy is a noble army, gentlemanly demeanor, and chivalrous spirit. Since the enemy has been defeated and the survivors have been saved, it should be the meaning of the question?

Unexpectedly, Major General Spey had a cold face and said lightly: "We don't need to worry. The British have other ships who will do this. Our only task now is to let go of everything and concentrate on welcoming the upcoming battle!"

He made a decision and there was no need to ask what he said later.

In fact, the Major General is also selfish. He would rather risk his unfair reputation than ensure the top secret of this fleet. The British would not give up, and Germany would get rid of unnecessary moral burdens as soon as possible, making it easier to go into battle.

There is no room for change between Britain and Germany. Once the battle starts, the navy will be the main force. It is a little bit weak to weaken the opponent's strength, and it is impossible to say that the means will be dirty.

The German fleet was drifting away. After more than an hour, two British armed cargo ships drove over and drove over to save the surviving navy. However, the number was really small, and one ten was not enough to survive!

Soon, the news that the British fleet was killed shocked the world again!

The British were once again caught in a fierce quarrel. The Germans' resolute and ruthless behavior was far beyond many expectations. They did not give any face at all and they could start a war! The problem is that Britain was not prepared enough for this. The French who could count on land were timid in Morocco, North Africa last time, and the Germans saw the weakness inside. Another powerful thug, Tsarist Russia, was dragged down by the war launched by the Chinese.

This damn situation is simply too bad!

However, this was not the worst case. Soon after, Major General Cradock's forward fleet also encountered the Germans entering the South Atlantic. At that time, they were firing fire on British colonies set up on the east coast of South America and on the mid-Atlantic islands.

Major General Cradock bravely and fearlessly led the fleet to kill.

This time, they have two dreadnoughts and two armored ships with powerful lineups. (To be continued.)
