Jonathan ultimately did not choose to escape. The naval battles of this era are extremely dangerous. Not everyone is willing to move forward bravely. In naval battles, especially in close contact battles, few turn around and run away. This should be because there is no prerequisite.

This is not an order, but an experience formed in long-term naval battles. For naval battles, you can only rush forward and avoid appropriately. If you turn around, any warship is like a nightmare. It only takes a few seconds for a person to twist, and the warship will be much more difficult to twist. The faster the warship, the slower the turn. The fastest warship will take a long time to turn around and return to its original position. In war, every minute is precious. Turning around is wasteful of precious time. It is better to rush forward directly. In both cases, the probability of being hit is the same. Even slowing down when turning around, it is easy to be hit, and it is not easy to dodge.

In addition to time, when the warship is designed, the front and side strings are always the most powerful and densest. At the tail, there are often only one or two artillery fire, the dreadnought era, or many points, but the angle is not enough, and when you escape, you are almost passively beaten.

Only by rushing forward, the vast sea cannot be completely blocked like the land, and there are gaps to pass through the showdown of hundreds of warships. The reason why Jonathan thought so was that the opponent's fleet may not have that many ships. As a naval colonel officer, Jonathan could access most of the secrets of the navy. Since the beginning of the war, the local fleet and the fast fleet have resumed their cruise to the North Sea. There are small boats that can run out from the middle. The possibility of large ships is not high. It is already amazing to be able to send out three main battleships. At most, it may be a few destroyers. The rest may be temporarily pieced together, such as old ships similar to ironclad ships. These ships are not strong unless they have been improved.

The sudden appearance of the German navy proved the previous conjectures between Britain and France, and the actions of the Chinese in Borneo. Not only did it have the shadow of the northwest, but also the forces of Germany. Even the encounters of the Dutch navy before also had a lot to do with Germany. As long as a main battleship came forward, it would not be surprising that the Netherlands was wiped out in its entire army.

It is necessary to preserve its strength. Germany suddenly emerged from several main battleships in East Asia. Now the East Asian fleet, any warship is very important. Maybe next is a decisive battle. In order to hold the warship to the maximum extent, Jonathan issued an order, and all ships adjusted their courses. He rushed towards the opponent's warship, of course, deliberately avoided the main battleship and freely evaded the opponent's artillery fire.

Both sides were very fast. The Sher fleet had a maximum speed of 25 knots, and Jonathan was also close to 20 knots. When he discovered the Sher fleet, the distance between the two sides was less than 10 nautical miles, and now he was driving at full speed. The distance of 10 nautical miles only took less than 10 minutes. It was in the distance of sight. At this time, Jonathan was stunned. The other side's warships were not as small as he imagined, but many.

Needless to mention the three main battleships. You can tell at a glance that they are powerful big guys. Even from the perspective of the eye, they are much larger than Queen Elizabeth-class. Isn’t it that Britain has always been pressing against Germany in terms of shipbuilding capabilities? Why do German warships look bigger than British ones?

In the field of battleships, it may not be large or powerful, but the boat will definitely not be very strong. If it is large, it will be easier to reach a certain balance, especially for battleships with more than 30,000 tons. 5,000 tons is one level, and within two levels, it is possible to evenly divide the colors. If it exceeds two levels, it will be much more difficult, even if the technology is leading.

As for what others made, Jonathan never even thought about it. In the whole world, there are only a few countries that can make dreadnoughts, and some countries cannot even count. For example, Italy, Austro-Hungary, or even Russia. Italy is better, with design capabilities, Austro-Hungary and Russia are just assemblers, who truly have innovation capabilities, that is, Britain and Germany, and even the United States and France are one level apart. Such a large warship, if it were not built by Germany, could still make that country build it.

He is not afraid of only three main battleships, but other ships are very important. There are many heavy patrols, light patrols, and even destroyers. Judging from the quality, they all seem to be newly built, with a very fast speed and a huge number, with at least 50 ships.

This is a life-threatening thing. It's just to deal with three main battleships. That's nothing. Disperse as much as possible so that the main battleship cannot easily harm him. No matter how powerful the main battleship is, it only has eight or nine cannons. When it cannot be fired, its power is limited. As long as the boat is scattered far enough and not hit by the main battleship, it's fine. However, when dealing with dozens of main battleships of about the same level, or even faster, it depends on how strong the opponent's battleship is.

In fact, a few minutes later, the opponent's warship told him how strong it was. Whether it was destroyers or cruisers, it was not a little bit different. The opponent was obviously the latest new warship. Maybe he had just completed the sea trial, which was very powerful and very experienced. Jonathan's side, the latest one has been built for 10 years. For merchant ships, 10 years of ship age is just a very young age, but for warships, especially warships in the early 20th century, this is almost a gap of one generation or even two generations.

Without Xiao Jianfeng's invitation, the Sher fleet rushed towards the other side like an arrow from the string. The Allies and the Allies have declared war. Both sides are in a state of war. Every warship on the other side is a successful outcome. The Northwest helped them create such superior conditions, how could they not catch it?

New warships are new warships, which can crush their opponents in terms of speed protection and even firepower. Their previous advantage in numbers disappeared when Scher's fleet arrived. Annihilation war began, and with almost a huge gap, it was almost a massacre.

Seeing the Sher fleet and the fast fleet catch fire, the Black Dragon can finally take a breath. The continuous fighting, the armor can be immune to the opponent's naval gun, but it can be less damage or less damage. Besides, from the beginning, he has been fully focused on it, whether it is attack or defense, the two hours of escape before were critical moments. He could not make any mistakes, otherwise there would be no current situation. Fortunately, he persisted and the Black Dragon persisted.

Relaxed from the tension, Xiao Jianfeng's legs were slightly soft. After drinking a few cups of tea, he calmed down. The correspondent reported that Sheer had come. Sheer personally brought V1 to the side of the Black Dragon. When he met Xiao Jianfeng, the battle was almost done. Not only was the encirclement and annihilation of the fast fleet on this side approaching, but the other side was almost over.

Here at Scher, Xiao Jianfeng knew the movements of the main British and French fleets not far away. They were even more unbearable than the fast fleet. The fast fleet, no matter how fast it was, was speed. If he really went to escape with all his might, he would not have a chance. Jonathan's fleet eventually ran away eight ships.

The main battleships are different, and the speed difference is obvious. The main fleet with a maximum speed of only 14 knots is facing enemies with an area of ​​nearly 10 knots, and their strength is above them. The number is quite large. Six main battleships easily deal with the front dreadnoughts. The remaining heavy patrols faced the equip patrol. When they met the opponent, they would meet the good talent. After an hour and a half of the 9 front dreadnoughts and 10 equipped patrols were sunk. The remaining surrendered. Only 4 ships in the entire fleet finally ran away. Two of them had mechanical failures and were repaired more than 20 nautical miles away. They just escaped the encirclement of the Sher fleet and escaped.

With a refreshing victory, Scher's fleet did not even pay the price of sinking a ship. It only showed a little emotional intelligence, armor, or muzzle on several ships, which basically did not affect the combat.

Among them, the commanders of the Asian fleet in Britain and France were defeated and captured. They basically did not stay in Southeast Asia for long, and were sold to the Northwest by Schell at a price. The two countries were familiar with similar population business. After the two sides jointly counted the number of people, they registered their expertise and sent it to the Northwest. Germany would only receive their salary every month according to the statistical results.

Unconsciously, population export work has become an important aspect of Germany's income. From Belgium, northern France, and even after conquering Paris, it has transferred more than 5 million people in total, and will receive an average salary of about 3 US dollars per month. This is the monthly income of 15 million US dollars, with an annual income of nearly 200 million US dollars, which greatly supports Germany's finances.

No profit, no need to get up early. The Northwest accepts these European civilians. On the one hand, they include talents from all walks of life. These people joining are a supplement to the Northwest. The value created is much higher than the salary paid. On the other hand, even if you don’t have any skills and work under some relatively difficult conditions, it is also an aspect. The Northwest has established a market economy. Relying on market regulation, the salary for working in remote areas and harsh areas has been paid more than three times the average salary, which is about US$150 per month.

Right, with one-tenth of the funds, I purchased enough labor and transformed remote and harsh places. After the development is completed, it will be a mature area. At that time, I will gradually attract Chinese people and gradually change the current national structure. I will not be like China in later generations. The population of more than one billion will be concentrated in the southeast plains, the vast central and western regions, with a sparse population and natural conditions that cannot be changed. So as coordinated as possible, increase the greening rate in the west, strive to reduce some deserts and disasters, and increase the country's foundation.

These people are just ordinary war uniforms. Senior generals like Ginger and Jonathan have no such fate. They will be arranged to send to Germany. What awaits them will be another experience. The German intelligence agencies will get some secrets from their mouths as much as possible. By the way, it can be regarded as a process of display. They annihilated a fleet, but few prisoners are not reasonable. (~^~)
