Chapter 435: Scheer's confidence

   On the battleship "Bavaria", the flagship of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, the Commander of the High Seas Fleet, Admiral Reinhard Scheer, is listening to his adjutant's report on the battle situation.

"General, the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment has already sunk three battlecruisers of the British Navy, namely HMS Invincible, HMS Invincible, and HMS New Zealand. Currently, they are conducting operations against the remaining British Navy's battlecruisers." Three battlecruisers launched a siege. Although the British navy is struggling to support it, judging from the current situation, they simply cannot last much longer," said the adjutant.

  Admiral Reinhard Scheer nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. For the German Navy, the current situation is undoubtedly developing in their favor. Every time a capital ship of the British Navy is sunk, it means that they are one step closer to victory. If this continues, it won't be long before they will be able to win the final victory.

   "Where is the 2nd battlecruiser squadron?" Admiral Reinhardt Scheer asked.

"General, the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron is currently besieging three of the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. They encountered the British Navy's force in the sea south of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron. Therefore, we judge that the British Navy This unit originally planned to attack our 1st Battlecruiser Squadron. However, after being bumped into by the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron, the plan failed and they were also besieged by the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron. At present, although the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron has not been able to sink any capital ship of the British Navy, they have already firmly gained the upper hand. Perhaps, it will not be long before there will be good news." said the adjutant.

"Very good, very good. It seems that the Imperial Navy has completely taken the initiative in this battle. If the remaining three British battlecruisers and three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships can be killed in one fell swoop. , Then, the Imperial Navy will have a greater chance of winning in this battle." Admiral Reinhard Scheer became more and more confident in winning.

   "By the way, is there any news about the British main fleet?" Admiral Reinhardt Scheer asked. The main fleet of the British Navy still has more than 20 battleships. Those capital ships also pose a certain threat to the German Navy. If you want to defeat the British Navy, you will inevitably have to fight the main force of the Royal Navy.

"General, there is no news about the main fleet of the British Navy yet. However, their battlecruiser formation and three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships are in crisis. Then their main fleet will definitely not be left to die! said the adjutant.

Admiral Reinhardt Scheer nodded: "The analysis is very reasonable. Indeed, if the British main fleet does not act, they will have to watch us kill their remaining battlecruisers and three ships. The 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships are definitely a serious blow to the British. After losing these battleships, they will no longer be able to reverse the situation."

"Command the fleet to speed up and move closer to the 1st battlecruiser squadron. If the main fleet of the British appears, then this means that our decisive battle with them has begun." Admiral Reinhard Scheer Said.

   "Yes, General." The adjutant immediately went to give the order.

   "By the way, where is our aircraft carrier formation?" Admiral Reinhard Scheer asked.

  The two existing aircraft carriers of the German Navy also went to battle this time. It's just that the German Navy has always kept this new type of warship and tactics strictly secret, and only a very small number of generals know the existence of the aircraft carrier. Admiral Reinhard Scheer had personally seen the aircraft carrier's maneuvers, so he believed in the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.

  Although, the German Navy now has only two aircraft carriers, and the carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carriers can only carry light aviation torpedoes. Light aviation torpedoes may not pose much threat to heavily armored battleships. However, for small and medium warships, it can cause fatal damage. What's more, many of the British Navy's warships are weakly armored. The armor of some previously built battleships may not be able to withstand light aviation torpedoes. This makes Reinhard Scheer full of expectations for the performance of the two aircraft carriers.

   "General, the aircraft carrier formation has been in the sea to the east of us, about a hundred kilometers away from us." A staff officer reported.

"Tell the aircraft carrier formation that once they find the main fleet of the British, they will launch an attack immediately. They will cause casualties to the British as much as possible. This way, it will be more conducive to our decisive battle with the British," said Reinhard Scheer will order.

   According to Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, as long as the carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier can cause damage to the dreadnought ships in the main fleet of the British Navy, it is enough. As for the remaining capital ships, such as the "Revenge-class" battleships, they can be handed over to the main fleet of the Imperial Navy, such as the "Bavaria-class" battleships that have just entered service. As the most powerful battleships of the German Navy, this is their first time on the battlefield, so naturally they have to perform well. In addition, the "King-class" battleships are also equipped with 380mm main guns, and their overall strength is also far superior to the "Revenge-class" battleships of the British Navy.

   It can be said that judging from the current strength of both sides, the German navy has firmly gained the upper hand. In the next naval battle, it seemed very easy to defeat the British navy in one fell swoop and win the naval battle.

   "Yes, General."

   "Come on, British. In this battle, the Imperial Navy will completely knock you down from the altar." Admiral Reinhard Scheer is full of confidence in the next battle. He also believed that the Imperial Navy would not let him down. As the German Navy sank more and more of the capital ships of the British Navy, the German Navy's hope of victory grew.

  The main fleet of the German Navy began to accelerate to the battlefield. Although, they are a little farther away from the battlefield.

  On the frontline battlefield, the German Navy's 1st and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadrons still firmly controlled the initiative on the battlefield. The British Navy's Battlecruiser Squadron and 2nd Battleship Squadron suffered increasing losses under their siege.
