Chapter 489: The end of the Royal Navy

Fisher's wish was ultimately not realized.

The bomber overhead shattered his final fantasy.

As a battleship built during the First World War, it has 8 twin-mounted 381 mm main guns and 14 152 mm secondary guns. These guns are fired at the ship.

What kind of equipment do you have for the air? It only has two 76mm guns, which is true, just these two.

In later history, during World War II, it was equipped with a large number of 40mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns to make up for the weakness of air defense firepower.

But now, in terms of airborne, it is almost at the level of light.

The Stuka bomber swooped down from the sky effortlessly and dropped 500 kilograms of bombs at the temporarily intact battleship.

Hit accurately!

There was fire everywhere on the deck, and the sailors were rescuing nervously, and then there was the second, third, fourth...

"Boom!" When the sixth bomber dived down, its ammunition depot was finally hit. It was just behind the second turret. Three consecutive bombs exploded there. The third bomb successfully exploded. The partition of the ammunition depot was opened, and there was a violent explosion!

When the ammunition depot was detonated, the scene was out of control.

"Boom!" The sound this time was extremely loud. In the sound of the explosion, the ammunition detonation exploded, forcibly tearing the ship hull into two parts.

The Sovereign entered the water quickly. It did not want to sink, but its sinking speed was faster than that of the Nelson. When its bow sank, the main gun on the turret was still shaking on the water. It seems that he refuses to follow the hull into the seabed.

It also seems to be telling something.

Sovereign, was sunk, Barham, was sunk, Nelson, still holding on.

Of course it will not leave it a chance!

The German warship, all the artillery fire, was moving towards the USS Nelson. In just a few minutes, more than 50 shells fell on the USS Nelson, which had no maneuverability and became a target ship. .

The Nelson was riddled with holes, but it just stood firm and refused to sink.

All the ammunition depots have been flooded. It is impossible for the ammunition to explode. Looking at this floating iron coffin, the German Navy gave up the continued naval attack.

The battle is over.

The subsequent torpedo planes, bombers, and submarines, as well as the warships escorted by the British Navy, were sunk. Even the Queen Elizabeth, who ran away first, could not run away. It was dozens of nautical miles away from the fire. In addition, he was caught up by several torpedo planes and projected again.

Then, another late submarine found it, and four torpedoes fired a salvo, and the Queen Elizabeth also sank.

On the sea, there are floating sailors everywhere. The battle is over. The sailors are not dead. Hundreds of heads are floating on the sea, swimming towards the German warships.

Faced with this situation, Lütjens ordered a one-hour rescue to bring the British sailors up.

After an hour, the sea was calm again, and there was oil everywhere. It was a heavy oil leak from a warship. The Nelson had sunk for more than half, and only one side of the ship remained exposed on the sea.

The British shore-based aviation forces flew over, facing the fiercely fought seas, facing the huge warship that was about to sink, their hearts were extremely heavy.

This is a turning point, a turning point for the British navy from its prosperity to its decline!

First, the airstrike at Scarpa Bay severely injured the British navy, and this naval battle caused the British navy to break its ribs. Up to now, the battleships supporting the British navy have sunk one by one, and they never There is no strength to compete with Germany for sea power.

This naval battle has been commented by many military observers. They have reached a consensus that it is no longer possible to maintain sea power by relying solely on battleships. The integrated application of aircraft carriers, submarines, and battleships can exert maximum effectiveness.

This is a tactical consideration, and in terms of strategy, it is even more worthy of consideration. Britain is an island country. If they lose a powerful navy, their sea lifeline will not be guaranteed!

After the Deutsche Deutsche entered the North Sea, long-range F190 fighter jets were already escorted to prevent the British from jumping the wall in a hurry from launching an air attack. This warship, which has made great achievements, finally stopped on the German dock.

The warship suffered heavy injuries, showing how fierce the battles this warship has experienced. In the two attacks by the British naval fleet, it did not back down, took the initiative to fight, and killed several British warships, and even insisted. It's the arrival of our main force!

On the shore, the people were already full of people. Most of them were family members of this warship. When they learned that their relatives were finally coming back, they came to the dock one after another.

The sailors put on uniforms and stood along the edge of the warship. Everyone's heart was filled with incomparable heroism.

They won!

Captain Stange, standing on the bridge, looking at the welcoming crowd on the shore He raised his arm silently and saluted the crowd on the shore.

"Hi, Hitler." At this moment, there was a uniform sound from the shore. The troops in charge of maintaining order raised their right arm, and the people watching on the shore also raised it feverishly. Took his arm.

Colonel Stanger was also extremely excited at once, the head of state is here!

Cyric was wearing a military uniform, waving his right hand, and greeting the people. This was the first time Cyric appeared in public during the war. By his side, Graf looked serious, ready to deal with emergencies.

Although Hitler has been assassinated, the etiquette of this head of state has not changed. This is also a kind of respect for the deceased. Now, Cyric, who has led the entire empire to become powerful, has completely replaced Hitler in the hearts of the people. position.

Hitler led the empire out of the haze of World War I, and Cyric led the empire to the glory of World War II!

Now, I don’t know how many British agents want to assassinate Cyric. Unfortunately, there is no way. Under Reinhardt’s surveillance, the entire empire is as safe as the Soviet Union.

Everyone in the port has been screened and is absolutely reliable. Cyric has an important mission when he comes this time. He wants to tell the world that this is a just war and Germany will win!

This was also the first time Bruce had come into contact with Cyric at close range. He could not see Cyric. At this time, he stayed in the lower cabin like the other prisoners. However, like everyone else, he could Hear Cyric's characteristic inflammatory voice.

In the past, Hitler's speeches concealed Cyric's light. In fact, Cyric was also an orator. This is an inevitable prerequisite for being a politician.
