The sinking of the battleship 'Revenge' was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Royal Navy. Not just because the battleship 'Revenge' is their flagship. At the same time, because the battleship 'Revenge' is the most powerful battleship in active service in the Royal Navy. Now, even the battleship 'Revenge' has been sunk, and the other battleships must also be doomed to be sunk.
After the battleships "Bavaria" and "Governor of the Frontier" of the German Navy sank the battleship "Revenge", they immediately turned to the siege of other British warships.
On the battleship 'New York', Vice Admiral Martin's face was pale. Not only because the battleship 'Revenge' was sunk, Admiral John Jellicoe chose to sink with the ship. It is also because the battleship "New York" is also in danger under the siege of the German navy.
Three "Mackenson-class" battleships, each of which is far more powerful than the "New York" battleship. Three ships besieged it, which made it impossible for the battleship 'New York' to survive.
In the previous battle, the battleship "New York" had already suffered two 380mm shells. It wasn't fatal because it didn't hit a vital point. But now, as the attacks of the three "Mackenson-class" battleships are becoming more and more fierce, the probability of the "New York" battleship being hit is also rising.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell fired from the battleship 'Friedrich Karl' hit the superstructure of the battleship 'New York'. The entire superstructure was pierced with a large hole, which also caused a fire.
The damage control personnel immediately started fighting the fire. They rushed to the fire scene wearing gas masks. Many people were directly devoured by the fire.
Before the fire was extinguished, the battleship "New York" was hit again. A 380mm artillery shell hit the bow of the battleship "New York". In the violent explosion, a piece of the bow was cut off. Fortunately, the injured place was above the waterline. Otherwise, this will cost the battleship "New York" a heavy price.
However, this is only the beginning. The German naval attack continued.
"Boom! Boom!"
Cannonballs exploded around the battleship 'New York' continuously, and occasionally the shells directly hit the battleship 'New York', causing great trauma to the battleship 'New York'.
As the number of hits increased, the battleship 'New York' also couldn't hold on.
Lieutenant General Martin saw this situation and issued an order for the flagship. It's just that he didn't have the courage of Admiral John Jellicoe. He didn't choose to sink into the bottom of the sea with the battleship, but chose to take a transportation boat and headed for a destroyer. Lieutenant General Martin knew that if he continued to take the capital ship, he would still be the target of the German Navy's attack. At this time, instead of taking a small and medium-sized warship, there is a chance of escape. After all, the current targets of the German Navy are all on those capital ships. For small and medium-sized warships, I don't care too much.
The battleship "New York" sank within less than ten minutes, and the sister ship "Texas" of the same class was also sunk under the siege of three "Derfflinger-class" battleships of the German Navy. This time, there were only 6 battleships purchased by the British from the United States. Moreover, almost all of them are under the siege of the German navy and are at stake, and it is only a matter of time before they are sunk.
Lieutenant General Spee ordered three "Derfflinger-class" and three "Mackenson-class" battleships to pursue the fleeing warships of the British, French and Italian kingdoms. Judging from the current situation, only the British battlecruiser "Tiger", as well as the four French battleships and the two Italian battleships that fled first escaped. The other warships are all under siege by the capital ships of the German Navy. As long as all the battleships of the Allied Powers trying to escape are sunk, the German Navy will be able to win a complete victory.
Of course, this is undoubtedly a disastrous defeat for the Allies.
The battlecruiser 'Tiger' is frantically running for its life. The speed of the battleship has been increased to the extreme. Lieutenant General David Beatty, standing on the deck of the battleship 'Tiger', the oncoming sea breeze made him gradually calm down.
There is no doubt that this time the Royal Navy is completely finished. The loss of the Royal Navy in this naval battle was even greater than in the previous naval battle. More importantly, after the failure of this naval battle, the Royal Navy has completely lost the chance to come back. After all, no country can sell so many battleships to them anymore.
"General, the 'Revenge' has been sunk!" The adjutant reported to Lieutenant General David Beatty.
Lieutenant General David Betty's body became stiff all of a sudden. Although, he had expected such a result a long time ago. However, the bad news still made him a little unacceptable.
"What about your Excellency Commander?" Lieutenant General David Betty asked.
"Your Excellency the Commander put himself in the cabin of the battleship 'Revenge' and sank to the bottom of the sea together with the battleship." The adjutant replied.
Lieutenant General David Betty heard the news and closed his eyes in pain.
"A fiasco! An unprecedented fiasco! This time, the Royal Navy has no chance to come back!" Lieutenant General David Betty said.
So many battleships were lost, and so many good sailors were lost. Under such circumstances, the British Navy has lost everything. In this naval battle, they were completely defeated. Not only has the Royal Navy been completely broken, but even the British Empire will have no future.
Subsequently, Lieutenant General David Beatty received news that the battleships 'New York' and 'Texas' had been sunk. Another two main battleships were sunk. However, Lieutenant General David Beatty has become numb.
The only thing that makes Lieutenant General David Beatty rejoice is that the German navy has not caught up. He may be able to escape aboard the battlecruiser 'Tiger'.
Although, the Royal Navy is over, the British Empire is about to end. However, he can continue to live. Even if you don't continue to serve, being a commoner is much better than dying at sea.
However, Lieutenant General David Betty's hope must be shattered immediately.
"Woo!"
When the shrill siren sounded, Lieutenant General David Betty's expression changed drastically.
"General, the plane! The German plane is coming." The adjutant reported in horror.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
