Chapter 444

On the battleship Nelson, the flagship of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet, Admiral Charles Forbes and Vice Admiral Arthur Powell were observing the capital ships of the Third Reich Navy with telescopes.

Because the distance is too far, even with a telescope, you can't see clearly, you can only see a blurry shadow.

However, the orange-red flames shining at the muzzle and the high water jets splashing around one's own battleships all indicate that the opponent's battleships are already firing on all cylinders.

"Order all ships to prepare to fire. The Third Reich's fire control radar performed very well. But equally, the Royal Navy is no worse than them!"Admiral Charles Forbes looked proud.

Indeed, in terms of electronic technology, the Empire and the Third Reich can be said to be the most advanced countries in the world. Even the Third Reich was the first to start large-scale investment in this area. As for making a good breakthrough. However, the Empire on which the sun never sets has a profound foundation and has not been left behind by the Third Reich in this regard. The gap between the two sides is very small.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Arthur Powell replied.

Suddenly, a communications officer hurried over.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Anson, Ramillies, Sovereign, and Warrior report. They were besieged by the P-class battle lines of the Third Reich Navy. Moreover, the main guns equipped by those P-class battleships are not 305 mm main guns at all, but 380 mm main guns. We were fooled, deceived by the Third Reich Navy."The officer said.

Suddenly, there was silence in the command tower of the battleship Nelson. Everyone was stunned and seemed to be shocked.

"Major, this is no time for joking. The intelligence we have obtained shows that those P-class battleships are equipped with 305 mm guns. Even in order to obtain information about P-class battleships, our most outstanding intelligence personnel paid the price with their lives, and only then did they obtain a close-up photo of P-class battleships. The photo clearly shows that the main gun of the P-class battleship is 305 mm!"Lieutenant General Ser Powell looked serious.

"However, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff. Based on the shells fired by the P-class battleships of the Third Reich Navy, our battleship determined that the shells were fired by the 380mm main gun. said the communications officer.

"This is impossible, how could it be possible?"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell still didn't believe it.

In other words, he, like other generals and officers of the Royal Navy, just didn't want to believe such a result.

Admiral Charles Forbes, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this moment..

He has realized that what the communications officer said should be true.

The P battleship of the Third Reich Navy should really be equipped with a 380mm main gun.

All along, the Third Reich Navy has always been a navy, allowing the Royal Navy to I thought I had a chance to win. So, I suddenly fell into the trap that the Third Reich had already prepared.

"Okay, no need to deny it anymore. I'm afraid I was really fooled this time. The cunning Germans actually came up with such a despicable and shameless trick to deceive us. , this time we were careless!"Admiral Charles Forbes said through gritted teeth.

The P-class battleship's main gun diameter changed from 30 to 380 millimeters. It suddenly changed from a little white rabbit with no threat to a wild wolf with sharp fangs. For the Royal As far as the navy is concerned, the P-class battleships are no longer just soy sauce, but the protagonists that can pose a fatal threat to the Royal Navy's battleships.

"Commander, how could this happen?"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell still seems unable to accept such a result and still can't figure it out.

"There is nothing unexplainable. This is simply a conspiracy set up by the Third Reich. A complete conspiracy. Their P battleship should initially be equipped with a 305mm main gun. However, before this naval battle, the 380-meter main gun was replaced."Admiral Sir Forbes easily guessed everything.

"However, Your Excellency, Commander, the design of battleships is very rigorous. If you want to replace the 305mm main gun with a 380mm main gun, this means that the weight of the main battery turret will increase by more than a thousand tons. At the same time, the space inside the hull also needs to be greatly modified."Said Lieutenant General Arthur Powell.

After all, it has never been so easy to modify a battleship and replace it with a large-caliber naval gun.

"The displacement of the P battleship is more than 32,000 tons. Even compared with our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, it is equivalent to the displacement before modification. When designing, leave enough redundancy. Naturally, it won't be a problem when replacing the main gun with a larger caliber." said Gen. Charles Forbes.

"Damn the Germans, could it be that he wanted to plot against us from the very beginning? Lieutenant General Arthur Powell cursed. At the same time, there was also a great terror in his heart.

If this is really the case, then the top management of the Third Reich must be too serious. In other words, the plan is too big. Alright

"Commander, what should we do now?"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell was very anxious.

Obviously, the transformation of the P-class battle line has made the advantages that the Royal Navy originally thought it had suddenly disappeared. In fact, it is even at a complete disadvantage.

Maybe If so, the Royal Navy will really lose this naval battle this time

"Do we have any other options now? Order all ships to fight to the death. God will bless the Royal Navy and the Empire on which the sun never sets!"Admiral Charles Forbes ordered.

Indeed, the Royal Navy now has no other choice but to fight to the end.

Even if it wants to retreat, it cannot retreat.

In terms of speed, the capital ships of the Third Reich Navy have Absolute advantage, enough to catch up with the Royal Navy

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Arthur Powell nodded.

"Send a telegram to the Special Fleet and tell them that the Royal Navy has now reached the final moment of life and death. The special fleet must arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Royal Navy will be completely finished!"Admiral Charles Forbes looked serious.

If the six battleships of the special fleet can arrive on the battlefield in time and join the battle, then the Royal Navy will not be inferior to the Third Reich Navy in terms of the number of battleships at least. Even if Because several battleships were damaged, the Royal Navy is still at a disadvantage. However, there are many factors that determine the outcome of a naval battle.

As long as the Royal Navy has better luck, it is not impossible for them to win this naval battle.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Arthur Powell went to send a telegram immediately._
