"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fierce exchange of fire continued. The capital ships of both sides were firing desperately, smashing heavy shells one after another at the opponent's warship in an attempt to sink the opponent's warship and win the battle.
The battleships "Grand Kurfürst" and "Governor of the Border" of the German Navy were responsible for dealing with the battleships "Giant" and "Dreadnought" of the British Navy. These two battleships are dreadnought ships built by the British Navy in the early days, especially the battleship 'Dreadnought', which created a precedent for dreadnought ships. However, as of now, these two battleships are seriously outdated. Not only is the armor weak, but the firepower is also not strong. It is undoubtedly very difficult for the 305mm main gun with 45 times the caliber to penetrate the armor of the battleships "Great Kurführer" and "Border Governor". You know, these two battleships belong to the "King Class" battleships, and they can be regarded as the most powerful battleships in the world.
"Keep firing! Aim at one point. Twenty minutes later, I don't want to see the British battleship 'Giant' still floating on the sea!" The captain of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst' ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns of the battleship 'Great Kurführer' fired wildly at the battleship 'Giant'. Shells weighing one ton fell on the sea surface, splashing a column of water as high as ten meters.
The British naval officers and soldiers on the battleship 'Giant' all looked pale. For them, it was too difficult for them to fight against the powerful battleship 'Grand Kurfürst'. After all, the displacement of the battleship 'Giant' is only a little over 20,000 tons. The displacement of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst' is as high as 37,000 tons, which is almost twice that of the 'Giant'. In front of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst', the 'Giant' was nothing more than a child.
The 380mm main gun of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst' can easily tear the weakly defended battleship 'Giant' into pieces. It can be said that in front of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst', the battleship 'Giant' has no chance of winning.
The same situation also applies to the battleship 'Dreadnought'. The battleship "Governor of the Frontier", which is the enemy, belongs to the third ship of the "King Class" battleship. Although the battleship 'Dreadnought' ushered in the era of dreadnoughts, it is already outdated after all. It can be regarded as a confrontation between the oldest dreadnought and the latest dreadnought. What kind of result this will have is naturally conceivable.
The officers and soldiers on the battleship 'Giant' and the battleship 'Dreadnought' all have a feeling that they are clearly destined to be abandoned pawns. Admiral John Jellicoe attempted to use them to hold back the newest battleships of the German Navy, thus creating an opportunity for the French Navy to sink the battleships "King Albert" and "Prince Regent Louisepold". But the officers and soldiers on the battleships 'Giant' and 'Dreadnought' didn't think so. They were worried that after the German battleships 'King Albert' and 'Lewittpold Regent' were sunk They may have been sunk before.
"Damn! How could Your Excellency Commander issue such an order? Isn't this telling us to die?" the captain of the battleship 'Giant' complained. He looked at the cannonballs hitting the sea in horror, each of these cannonballs had the power to seriously injure them. If it hits the vital point, it is even more likely to be sunk with one shot.
"God bless! The German shells must not hit us! Otherwise, we will die." The captain of the battleship "Giant" kept praying to God. It seems that this is the only thing he can do now.
As soon as the battle started, the battleships "Giant" and "Dreadnought" of the British Navy were suppressed. Especially after the battleship "Great Kurführer" and the battleship "Governor of the Frontier" formed a straddle fire and switched to concentrated fire, they were even more dangerous. The large-caliber main gun shells continuously exploded around the two battleships, making the two battleships like small boats in a storm, which may capsize at any time.
On the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the British Navy, Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty are closely watching the progress of the battle. The faces of both of them were not very good-looking, because the situation on the battlefield seemed to be very unfavorable to them.
"Your Excellency, the situation of the battleship 'Giant' and the battleship 'Dreadnought' is very bad. The two powerful battleships of the Germans may hit them at any time. And the 380mm artillery shell is obviously not the 'Giant' The armor of the battleship and the battleship 'Dreadnought' can withstand it. Once hit, it may be severely damaged or even sunk. At that time, our advantage will be gone." Lieutenant General David Beatty said .
Admiral John Jellicoe nodded. Once the battleships "Giant" and "Dreadnought" are sunk, then the two "King-class" battleships of the German Navy can join the battleships of other combined fleets. in the attack. At that time, they will have no numerical advantage. In the case that the performance is seriously inferior to the German Navy, there is not much chance of winning.
"I hope the 'Giant' and 'Intrepid' can last longer. Other warships must also seize this rare opportunity to sink the German warship. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to win it!" said Admiral John Jellicoe.
In the plan of Admiral John Jellicoe, the battleships "Giant" and "Dreadnought" were originally abandoned children. As long as they can gain the upper hand in this naval battle, or win, it doesn't matter even if the two battleships are lost. Admiral John Jellicoe's only concern now is whether the two battleships can hold on. If it is sunk soon, the problem will be serious.
"Damn the French, their five battleships beat the Germans' two battleships, why haven't they succeeded yet?" Admiral John Jellicoe was also secretly anxious.
He pinned all his hopes on the French. If the French Navy can sink the battleships "King Albert" and "Louis Pold Regent", then the advantages of the combined fleet can be further expanded. The possibility of winning will also be further improved.
