The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 866: Can't go!

In less than half an hour, 3 British light cruisers and 7 destroyers, the headquarters of the German High Seas Fleet had never fought such a joyous battle. This is also a memorial to the heroes of the Helgeland Gulf naval battle. However, this is only the beginning.

"Have you hit?" Eight minutes into the war, the German fleet had not scored a hit. This made the prince feel a bit dissatisfied. Although there are objective reasons that can explain everything, for example, the British fleet is facing the sun, the opponent released smoke, and It is turning at a high speed and the speed change rate is very large.

But think about the battle of Jutland in history. At 15:48, the mast of Lützov’s ship raised the signal of "start of shelling". Three minutes later, Lützov shot two shells into the lion. One minute later, Mo Qi also hit the opponent's front deck. Even if the position of the British fleet was not good, the Queen Mary opened the scoring in ten minutes. Of course, the fleets of the two sides were almost parallel at this time, and there was no smoke screen interference. When the war started, the distance between the two sides was only 15,400 meters. Later, it was even closer to 11,800 meters, but this result still made the prince somewhat unsatisfied.

The British fleet in the distance began to turn. The first one to pass was the Lion. The Lion turned around. The Queen Mary followed, and the Tiger also turned around! The final Grand Princess is complete! The fleet maneuver is complete! Prepare to speed up the evacuation! After seeing the last battlecruiser successfully passed the most dangerous link, after slowing down and turning, the speed of the entire fleet at this time was around 23 knots. Betty finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the acceleration was added to the Moore fleet and the Jeram fleet, then it was all right to fight back. Betty’s pride and ambition did not allow him to just defy. Absolutely not!

"Hippel's wreck, I know! He beat his little brother violently in front of him back then, how can he retreat now? (Battle of Helgeland Betty thought in her heart.

At this time, the light cruiser formation in front of Betty can already see the clear shadows of the Moore fleet hurriedly from the north, and at this moment, a 15-inch shell that did not know where it came from was hit straight. On the deck of the Queen Mary! A huge pillar of fire rose into the sky, and the impact of the impact threw a large number of deck debris and debris into the air.

This 850kg shell went all the way down. After successfully tearing open the deck and dome, it hit the steam turbine cabin with one head. Unfortunately, this is a dud... But even so, this "solid iron lump" weighing several hundred kilograms still killed the condenser on the left side of the Queen Mary! What was even more unexpected to the British was that when the shells and condenser were broken into countless pieces at the same time, the violent impact even caused damage to the bottom of the battleship. A large amount of seawater poured in from the gap and gradually filled the whole Steam engine room on the left!

"The Queen Mary can't go..." When Betty saw the billowing smoke from the side of the battleship Queen Mary and the signal flag hanging from the mast behind him, Betty had at least 200,000 alpacas in her heart. Swarm by! This tm is too unlucky!

"General, what do we do?" The voice of the officer next to him trembled. Drops of cold sweat fell from his head. Although there were loud noises from time to time outside. But at this time, the lion's bridge was quiet and terrible, and everyone was waiting for Betty to make up his mind.

Hamlet once said that survival or destruction is a question worth thinking about, and now Betty is also facing such a choice, throwing or not throwing is a question worth thinking about... Although Betty is still not sure about the composition of the opponent's fleet, it is certain that this is definitely a fast fleet, and may not be able to catch up with the lions and tigers, but there is nothing wrong with throwing the queens away. And now the speed of the Queen Mary is declining, and it would be good to be able to maintain 20 knots in the end. Throw away Queen Mary. The other three battlecruisers have hope to escape, and if they are not thrown away, 4 to 7!

"The destroyer releases the smoke screen." It took a full minute before Betty squeezed a few words from his teeth. Anyone who knew him knew that he was hesitating and hesitating! Even a little afraid! "Let the Queen Mary repair it immediately."

"Your Excellency Commander, the Queen Mary was directly hit by the main gun, the entire condenser has been destroyed, and the water in the engine compartment on the left is half a meter deep!" an officer said loudly.

"Let the Queen Mary repair it! Now! Now! He will surely fix it!" Betty's voice was not loud, but there was unquestionable pressure. "We move closer to the Moore fleet, and let Lieutenant General Jeram come close to me at all costs. Contact Major General Hood. We need support."

"The British have released the smoke screen again. They seem to be fleeing?" Scheer said after looking at the British battlecruiser formation that was shrouded in smoke again, his tone was very flat.

"It may also be procrastinating. They don't want to give up that battlecruiser." The prince thought for a while and said. If you want to run, just accelerate directly. If you run at a high speed of 28 knots~lightnovelpub.net~, even if you put a smoke screen, you will quickly rush out, which is very limited. After all, it is impossible for the smoke screen to keep up with the battleship at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour. If you can keep up, it would be the mist of the old demon in Black Mountain... So at this time, Betty's fundamental reason for releasing the smoke screen again is to delay time!

For Betty’s psychology, the prince has a good grasp of this kind of dilemma. The prince has encountered too many choices. For example, in the previous life, when playing Warcraft, you were playing the red dot monster and you were taken away by the 80-population orc troops. Caught later, your 60 population did not return to the city, and the three heroes Kodo, the poisonous dragon, the big headhunter, the big g, and the wolf ride all have it. If the wolf riding the web is a spider, then throw it away... But what if the ice dragon is netted? At this time, I was a little irrational and turned around to play a wave, and then 80% directly gg.

But at this time, Betty was also very entangled. A light cruiser formation went up, four ships lost three. This was a bit miserable, but it didn't matter, the British Empire didn't care. How much does a light cruiser cost? But about 400,000 pounds. But if a battlecruiser, especially the most cutting-edge battlecruiser, is gone, the Great Fleet of the British Empire will not be heartbroken either...

But Betty couldn't stand it. Because, to create this kind of sad situation, Betty has to carry at least 60% of the pot and throw off other warships without authorization. This will make him choke! Moreover, this matter is more serious than the signal transmission error in the historical battle of the Doger Sandbar, because there is almost no room for excuse.
