Chapter 411
On the battleship USS Resolution, Lieutenant General George and Rear Admiral Lambert frowned tightly together.
Although in this naval battle, the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet has slightly gained the upper hand. However, their current advantage is not great, which makes them a little worried about the next naval battle.
Although there are only two battleships in the Caesar Kingdom Navy that continue to fight, those two are the most cutting-edge Veneto-class battleships. With the two remaining Queen Elizabeth-class battleships of the Royal Navy and a severely damaged Revenge-class battleship, it is not unusually difficult to eat them. It is very likely that in the end it will be a lose-lose outcome.
"The Caesars are not very good at fighting, but their shipbuilding ability is still good. The performance of the Veneto-class battleship is considered top-notch in the world. Even if it's not the top, it's enough to rank among the top in the world!" Lieutenant General George said
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Our battleships are, after all, old battleships. If it were a cutting-edge battleship, such as a Nelson-class battleship, they would have been easily dispatched!"Rear Admiral Lambert is very unwilling.
The Royal Navy has now concentrated its main forces on the mainland, preparing for the decisive battle with the Third Reich Navy. So much so that it is shrinking vigorously in other directions. Even though the strategic significance of the Mediterranean is very important , the Empire on which the sun never sets has only deployed a few old battleships. It is simply a fantasy to use such power to ensure control of the Mediterranean. Of course, if the Third Reich does not disrupt the situation, the Mediterranean fleet is confident that it can deal with Caesar The challenge of the Royal Navy. However, with the interference of the Third Reich Navy, everything is different. It is already full of variables.
"Your Excellency, the aircraft carrier Eagle and the aircraft carrier Glorious were both sunk by the Third Reich Navy."An officer reported.
Lieutenant General George's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The sinking of the Eagle aircraft carrier was not unexpected. But even the Glory aircraft carrier was sunk, which is a bit unacceptable..
If only the Eagle aircraft carrier was lost, the loss would not be huge.
But if both aircraft carriers were lost, the loss would be staggering. What’s even more terrible is that the two Dunkirk-class ships of the Third Reich The battlecruisers must have been on their way after taking care of their two aircraft carriers. This was fatal to the Mediterranean fleet.
"Commander, what should we do now? If two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers arrive, we will have no advantage at all."Major General Lambert was a little anxious.
The expression on Lieutenant General George's face kept changing:"It's best to withdraw from the battle now. However, the Veneto-class battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar Navy are much faster than us. It is simply impossible to get rid of them."
Major General Lamb nodded repeatedly. This is indeed one of their shortcomings.
"Order each ship to continue to close the distance, one point. If we want to win this battle, we must defeat the two Veneto-class battleships of the Kingdom of Sasha before the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich arrive!"Lieutenant General George ordered.
Obviously, it is now necessary to
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Rear Admiral Lambert immediately went to convey the order.
Then, the Caesar Kingdom Navy discovered that the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet seemed to be crazy and even more desperate. This made the two Veneto-class battleships of the Caesar Kingdom Navy, Completely suppressed.
The Third Reich's two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers, along with two M-class light cruisers and four X destroyers, quickly rushed to the battlefield. However, due to the drag of speed, the fleet could only Sailing at a speed of 5 knots.
Fortunately, the two sides are now heading towards each other. Otherwise, it will take more time for the Third Reich Navy to merge with the Caesar Kingdom Navy. At
11:32, X45 chased The ship reported that a severely damaged Royal Navy battleship was found.
"General, it should be the battleship HMS Sovereign of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. During the battle with the navy of the Kingdom of Caesar, it was severely damaged."Reported by Colonel Joachim
"How about escort force? asked Maj. Gen. William Folkes.
"Only two Horde-class destroyers escorted it." said Colonel Joachim.
"Very good, let our M-class light cruisers and X-class destroyers go over and kill the two Horde-class destroyers. Then use torpedoes to send the Royal Monarch to the bottom of the sea. As for us, it is better to continue on our way and not waste time. Otherwise, the Caesar Kingdom Navy may not be able to hold on."Major General William Folkes ordered
"Yes, General!"Colonel Joachim nodded.
Then, two M-class light cruisers and four X-class destroyers rushed to the battlefield.
The battleship Royal Sovereign, which had suffered heavy damage, serious flooding, and almost lost its combat effectiveness, discovered the incoming attack. After the light cruisers and destroyers of the Third Reich, they immediately sounded the battle alarm.
But now, they can be said to be a dragon swimming in shallow water and being fooled by a shrimp, and a tiger falling flat and being bullied by a dog.
The two Horde-class destroyers, although they performed very well Brave, but was killed in more than ten minutes.
Then, two M-class light cruisers used their 150mm main guns to pin down the secondary guns of the Royal Sovereign battleship. And four X-class destroyers launched lightning strikes.
After just one lightning strike, the battleship HMS Royal Sovereign was struck by a 533mm heavy-duty torpedo.
The battleship HMS Sovereign, which had already suffered heavy damage, naturally could not withstand it and soon sank into the sea.
"General, the Royal Monarch has been taken care of by us." said Colonel Joachim.
"Haha, doesn’t this count as us robbing the Kingdom of Caesar’s navy? They finally managed to severely damage the Royal Monarch, but in the end we took advantage of it."Major General William Fulks said with a smile.
"General, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future. It is said that the battleship USS Resolution was also severely damaged. If we sink it next, the Caesar Kingdom Navy will definitely be very angry."Colonel Joachim had the same smile on his face
"Never mind them! It's impossible not to eat the meat that's already on your lips, right?"Rear Admiral William Fulkes simply ignored the idea of the Caesar Kingdom Navy.
An hour later, the Third Reich Navy finally arrived on the battlefield._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
