"General, Washington's order. His Excellency the President personally sent it." Admiral Fletcher's secretary sent the telegram to him.

   Admiral Fletcher took the telegram and read it quickly.

   "It's time to end this farce!" Admiral Fletcher sighed.

  Indeed, in his opinion, this is simply a farce. All the elite forces of the U.S. Navy were mobilized just to give an explanation to the domestic people. This is undoubtedly difficult for these admirals to accept. As a soldier, their bounden duty is to fight for the benefit of the country. But now, they are acting like clowns. This is undoubtedly very distressing.

  However, Admiral Fletcher can also understand President Woodrow Wilson's choice. Who made the current U.S. Navy so weak? Although, their navy is already considered a world-class powerful navy. However, in front of the German Navy, it undoubtedly appeared very weak. If they start a war now, they have no chance of winning at all. In order to preserve strength, this had no choice but to retreat.

   "Command the fleet to prepare to retreat. After twenty minutes, start turning." Admiral Fletcher ordered.

   "Yes, General." The staff officer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that Admiral Fletcher had finally issued such an order. Obviously, within the U.S. Navy, those officers were unwilling to really fight the German Navy. Because they know that there is no chance of winning at all.

  The German Navy broke through the fleet and has always been vigilant against the US fleet. Naturally, the changes of the US fleet cannot be hidden from them.

   "General, there is a change in the Americans." A staff officer said.

   "What?" Lieutenant General Spee immediately grabbed the binoculars and looked at the US fleet. But then he breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that the Americans wanted to make a dangerous move and launched an attack on them. But now it seems that the Americans don't seem to have this meaning.

   "Don't worry, the Americans seem to be unable to hold on and are about to retreat. We still won this battle." Lieutenant General Spee smiled.

   Indeed, in this confrontation, Germany still won. After all, the Americans are not Germany's opponents, and they dare not continue the confrontation like this. He didn't even have the courage to help the British hold back part of the German navy. Not dare, Lieutenant General Spei can also understand. After all, if the Americans really did that. Once the main force of the German Navy has eliminated the Royal Navy, the next target to attack must be the US Navy. With such a little strength of the U.S. Navy, it simply cannot withstand the attack of the German Navy.

   "Report to the country!" Lieutenant General Spei ordered.

   "Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.

  When Qin Tian, ​​Marshal Count Tirpitz and others received the news of the retreat of the American fleet, they couldn't help laughing.

   "His Royal Highness, it seems that the Americans have made their choice. The British have been abandoned. Therefore, we only need to deal with the British." Marshal Count Tirpitz said with a smile. However, there was obvious regret on his face.

  Qin Tian knew that Marshal Earl Tirpitz was regretting that the Americans had no courage to fight the German navy. In that case, maybe they will be able to achieve greater results.

"Your Excellency Marshal, although we have no chance to fight the Americans this time, we will definitely have a chance to beat them down next time. The Americans will not just sit and watch the empire become the world's hegemon. The empire launched a challenge. Similarly, if the empire’s world dominance wants to be stable, it must suppress the United States. Therefore, the contradiction between our two countries is irreconcilable. In the future, we will inevitably have a war. Moreover, the scale of future wars may be larger than the present one," Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, I believe that under your leadership, the Empire will be able to win the final victory. Even the Americans are absolutely impossible to resist the advance of the Empire." Marshal Count Tirpitz said to Qin Tian, I am very confident.

  Qin Tian nodded. Although Marshal Earl Tirpitz had great confidence in him, the key point was that he didn't have that much confidence in himself! Although, he is the crown prince of the empire, the future heir to the throne of the empire. However, Qin Tian knew very well that William II lived a very long life. If it is not possible, after the next war, William II will still sit on the throne of the emperor. And he is still the crown prince of the empire.

"Your Excellency Marshal, now that the Americans have retreated, the Navy's plan against the British can begin to be implemented. I believe that after the Americans retreat, no one in our no-fly zone will dare to challenge again. The British People are blocked, it will be something that no one can change. Perhaps, the British can't help themselves and want to fight us. In that case, our chances of winning will be much greater." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness. There are only two ways for the British to die now. One is to be surrounded and dragged to death by our blockade. The other is to fight us at all costs and try to reverse the situation. However, With such a large gap in strength, the final outcome is still doomed." Marshal Earl Tirpitz seemed very confident about the future war.

  Qin Tian nodded. According to the information they have received now, the number of capital ships of the British Navy has been completely suppressed by the Imperial Navy. The existing capital ships of the British Navy include 5 'Revenge-class' battleships, 5 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, 1 'King George V-class' battleships, 4 'Orion-class' battleships, and 2 'Giants' class' battleships, one 'Neptune' battleship, four 'St. Although in terms of number, there are two more battleships than the German Navy. But in terms of performance, I am afraid there is nothing comparable. Especially the first eleven ships are all battleships equipped with 305mm main guns. The German Navy has only 4 battleships equipped with 305mm main guns.

In terms of battlecruisers, the British Navy has only one 'Tiger' battlecruiser, two 'Lion-class' battlecruisers, one 'Indefatigable-class' battlecruiser and two 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers. There are only six ships, equivalent to half of the battlecruisers of the German Navy. Moreover, its performance was completely suppressed by the German Navy.

   Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Royal Navy has no chance of winning. What's more, the German Navy also has a powerful submarine force and aircraft carriers to assist in the battle, which will make them have a higher chance of winning.
