Chapter 452 Dilemma

"Your Excellency, the battleship Ramiris has been sunk." A staff officer reported to Admiral John Jellicoe.

Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty witnessed the sinking of the battleship Ramiris. This made them feel very sad. The 'Revenge Class' battleship is their most powerful battleship! Unexpectedly, it was sunk by the German Navy so easily. Then, the remaining "Revenge-class" battleships may not be able to withstand the German attack! It can be said that they have lost this battle. Next, these capital ships of theirs may be sunk one by one by the German Navy.

At this time, the battleship "Resolution" of the British Navy finally hit the battleship "Saxony" of the German Navy. A 380mm artillery shell hit the mount of the No. 1 main turret of the battleship 'Saxon'. Although, the armor of the battleship "Saxon" is as thick as 380 mm. However, the angle of the shell fired by the battleship 'Resolution' was too tricky. After the shell exploded, it directly overturned the No. 1 main turret of the battleship 'Saxon'. At the same time, because the front main gun of the "Saxon" battleship was designed as a piggyback turret, the No. 2 main gun turret was also implicated and could not continue to fire. This caused the battleship "Saxon" to lose two-thirds of its firepower at once.

"Good job!" Seeing this scene, Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty couldn't help shouting. But at the same time, they also feel a little regretful. If the battleship "Resolution" can hit the battleship "Saxon" before the battleship "Saxon" kills the battleship "Ramilis", it may be able to save the "Ramilis".

However, it was also a surprise to be able to severely damage the battleship 'Saxon', causing it to lose most of its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the 'Saxon' joined the bombardment of several other 'Revenge-class' battleships, and that would be truly fatal.

Before he had time to enjoy the joy, he was hit, which surprised the German naval officers and soldiers on the battleship "Saxony". During the construction, Colonel Konix Longhardt quickly ordered the battleship to turn around and regain the distance between it and the British battleship. If you continue to fight at a distance of 10,000 meters, you will be courting death.

Originally, the sinking of the battleship "Ramilis" further expanded the advantages of the German Navy. However, the battleship 'Saxon' was severely damaged, which immediately reduced their advantage a lot.

Admiral Reinhard Scheer's face, which was already smiling, suddenly darkened a lot. However, in calculations, the German Navy still took advantage. It is still very cost-effective to exchange the heavy damage of a battleship for the sinking of a British battleship. The battleship "Saxon" only needs to return to the shipyard and reinstall a new main gun to restore its combat effectiveness.

"Give the battleship Saxon an order and let them return!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered.

With the battleship 'Saxon' losing two main turrets, Admiral Reinhard Scheer obviously didn't want them to continue taking risks.

However, Colonel Kornix Longhardt refused this order, and he asked Admiral Reinhardt Scheer to continue fighting. Although the battleship "Saxon" lost two main turrets, the No. 3 main turret at the rear can continue to fight. The triple-mounted 380mm main gun can still exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Admiral Reinhardt Scheer thought about it, and finally agreed to Colonel Konix Longhardt's request, allowing them to stay and continue fighting.

Next, the battleship "Saxon" began to cooperate with the battleship "Baden" to attack the battleship "Resolution" of the British Navy in an attempt to take revenge. However, the combat effectiveness of the battleship 'Saxon' with only one main turret left has been greatly reduced. In the ensuing battle, it didn't play a big role either. But they sank the battleship "Ramilis" of the British Navy, giving the German Navy a greater advantage in this naval battle, which is a great achievement.

With the sinking of the battleships "Agincourt" and "Ramilis", the situation of the battle became more and more unfavorable for the British Navy. Although, they are still holding on. However, many officers and soldiers were frustrated. If it weren't for the support of a strong will to fight, they might have collapsed long ago.

After the battleship 'Agincourt' was sunk, the battleship 'Louitpold Regent' and the battleship 'Nassau' of the German Navy were besieging the battleship 'Ireland' of the British Navy, making 'Ireland' The USS battleship is in danger.

Although the battleship "Ireland" has a powerful firepower composed of five twin 343mm main guns, it was still completely suppressed when faced with the siege of two warships of the same level by the German Navy. What's more, the battleship 'Ireland' is a foreign trade battleship, and its defense itself is very poor. Once it is hit, it means a lot of injuries, or even serious damage.

"boom!"

A shell fired from the battleship 'Ireland' successfully hit the battleship 'Nassau'. The shell hit the conning tower, but unfortunately, because the fuze was too sensitive, the shell exploded before it penetrated the armor of the conning tower. But the huge power still stunned all the officers in the command tower.

As a last resort, the battleship 'Nassau' can only be temporarily commanded by the navigator. The shelling was also interrupted for several minutes. But it quickly recovered.

Seeing that their shelling hit the target, the British naval officers and soldiers on the battleship 'Ireland' couldn't help cheering. However, before their cheers fell, the German navy responded. The battleship 'Lewittpold Regent' once again demonstrated its strong combat effectiveness. A 343mm artillery shell hit the battleship 'Ireland' near the midship waterline. Although the waterline armor of this part of the "Ireland" battleship is as thick as 305 mm, it still cannot withstand the shell.

After the shell tore through the waterline armor of the battleship "Ireland", it exploded. The huge power immediately blasted a big hole. Immediately afterwards, the battleship 'Louis Polder Regent' continued its efforts. In the next salvo, it hit the battleship 'Ireland' many times, directly sending the battleship and the battleship into the bottom of the sea.
