Jagged Germany

Chapter 602: The battle begins (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??Orange red flames shone at the muzzle, and shells roared and smashed towards the three "Blücher-class" battlecruisers of the German Navy. The shell hit the sea, exploded, and splashed water jets into the sky.

?? "Damn it, are the Americans crazy? They dare to fire. Is this trying to provoke a war between the two countries?" Major General Lübeck was dumbfounded. He had always believed that the Americans were nothing more than a bluff. If they were really asked to open fire, the Americans would definitely not dare. However, now the U.S. fleet has actually opened fire, which is simply beyond everyone's expectations.

?? "Are the Americans looking for death? Immediately send a telegram to the Fleet Command. We have been attacked by the Americans. The war between us and the Americans has already begun!" Rear Admiral Lübeck roared loudly.

??There was a hint of excitement in his roar. Originally, for the generals of the German navy, after the naval battle with the British, the war was considered to be over. This made these generals feel a little regretful. They hope that the war can continue, so as to gain more military exploits. In this way, after the war is over, they will be able to get more promotion opportunities. Now, the Americans are involved in the war, which undoubtedly made these generals get their wish!

??Although, the strength of the U.S. Navy is not weak. But that's only relative to other countries. In the face of the powerful German navy, the strength of the US Navy is nothing more than that. They can take out the US Navy at any time.

??However, the shouts of the staff officers shattered Admiral Lübeck's dream.

?? "General, those warships raised the St. George's flag? Those British fleets!" The staff officer shouted.

?? "What? The British fleet, how is that possible?" Rear Admiral Lübeck refused to believe it. He picked up the binoculars and saw the entire rising St. George's flag, and his face became very ugly.

"Conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy. Those warships are clearly American warships, but now they hang the British naval flag. This is definitely a conspiracy against the empire by the Americans and the British!" Major General Lübeck He gritted his teeth and said.

?? "General, what should we do?"

"Fight back, fight back immediately! Regardless of whether we are facing the Americans or the British, since they opened fire on their own initiative, the battle will begin! Fight back immediately and sink all those warships! Send them all to the bottom of the sea!" Major General Lübeck roared.

??Although, the opposite British fleet has six battleships, and they only have three battlecruisers. However, Major General Lübeck was not afraid.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The three "Blücher-class" battlecruisers of the German Navy launched a counterattack. The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns on each battlecruiser fired fiercely at the British fleet. Although four of the six warships in the British fleet are equipped with 356mm main guns, and the other two are also equipped with 50 times the caliber of 305mm main guns, the German navy is still not afraid.

?? "Boom!"

??A shell exploded on the sea surface more than 50 meters to the left of the battleship "Blücher", splashing a high column of water. As the flagship of the unit, the battleship "Blücher" was besieged by the two most powerful "Nevada-class" battleships of the British.

??Although the ranging and sighting equipment on American warships is not very good, the excellent personal qualities of the soldiers of the British Navy make up for this very well. This makes them no worse than the German Navy in terms of shelling accuracy. This put the German navy, which was at an absolute numerical disadvantage, into crisis.

?? "General, the British have six battleships, and we only have three. We can't take advantage of it!" An officer was a little worried.

??Major General Lübeck looked gloomy, and he felt more and more that this was clearly a trap.

"The appearance of those warships, as well as the caliber of the main guns, look like the Americans' Nevada class, 'New York class' and 'Wyoming class'. But why are they flying the British Navy flag now? Are we firing? This is really strange!" Major General Lübeck is still struggling with this problem.

??As an admiral of the navy, he undoubtedly has a deep understanding of the main warships of various countries. The intelligence agencies of the German Navy have conducted a large amount of intelligence collection on the capital ships of various countries. So that the admirals of one's own side can understand these capital ships, and once encountered in a naval battle, they can make accurate judgments and will not be caught blind.

?? "Yes, General. It is indeed the American 'Nevada class', 'New York class' and 'Wyoming class'." The staff officer said.

"Damn Americans, they must have colluded with the British. Or they transferred these warships to the British. Even those who manipulated those warships were Americans at all. They clearly wanted to attack the empire by doing that! "Major General Lübeck scolded.

?? The German generals can easily guess the sinister intentions of the Americans.

?? "Report our situation to the headquarters, and tell them that we need reinforcements!" Major General Lübeck ordered.

?? "Yes, General."

?? "In addition, increase the speed. If the battle situation is not good for us, we can retreat calmly!" Major General Lübeck then gave the order.

?? After all, the "Blücher-class" is a battlecruiser with a maximum speed of more than 25 knots, which is more than 4 knots faster than the American battleships purchased by the British. Once they are determined to evacuate, it is impossible for the British to catch up. It's just that it is not in line with the style of the German navy to evacuate as soon as they meet each other. Naturally, they hoped to continue the battle. It would be best if they could win more with less, and sink all the warships of the British fleet in one fell swoop. In that case, it is undoubtedly a great achievement.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The battleships on both sides started to shoot violently. All the main guns are roaring. The gunners were all firing desperately, smashing as many shells as possible at the opponent's battleship.

?? On the battleship 'Nevada', Lieutenant General Martin had a smile on his face. In his opinion, it is undoubtedly an advantage to use six battleships to deal with the three battlecruisers of the German Navy. What's more, there are six other battleships that are making a detour to outflank the German navy. At this speed, the outflanking can be completed soon. At that time, they will have a greater advantage. Obtaining the final victory is undoubtedly a certainty.
