Third Reich: I took over power

"What about aircraft carriers? How far away are the aircraft carriers Ark Royal and HMS Fury? Were the warships of the Third Reich within their attack radius?"Major General Roderick asked.

"General, Ark Royal and Fury, more than five hundred kilometers away. If a carrier-based aircraft takes off now, it will take at least three hours to arrive."The officer replied.

Rear Admiral Roderick immediately frowned. In three hours, it will be dark. What's the use of carrier-based aircraft arriving at this time?

You know, the sun never sets on the current oil fleet of the Empire. Carrier aircraft generally fly slowly.

Especially the Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft. The maximum speed of this old-fashioned biplane is only 220 kilometers per hour.

"General, why don't we wait for the other two squadrons to arrive? We have sent the telegram, and the other two squadrons should be on their way."An officer said.

Major General Roderick shook his head:"It is difficult to catch up with the other two squadrons. The maximum speed of the Nelson-class battleship was only 23.5 knots, which was too far behind the speed of the battlecruisers of the Third Reich. The maximum speed of the battlecruiser Hood and Repulse was only 30 knots. In terms of speed, the battlecruisers of the Third Reich had an absolute advantage. Unless we can rely on carrier-based aircraft or accumulation to damage the battlecruisers of the Third Reich and slow them down. Only in this way can we have a chance"

"General, do you want to give it a try? Let two heavy cruisers try it. After all, the firepower of the two heavy cruisers is not weak, and the four twin-mounted 203 mm main guns can also pose a certain threat to the battlecruisers of the Third Reich. If we can penetrate the tail armor or several power cabins, then we have a chance!"An officer suggested.

Rear Admiral Roderick was hesitant. It would be risky to send a heavy cruiser to chase him.

However, he would be very unwilling to just watch the battlecruisers of the Third Reich escape like this.

"OK, let Kent and Kangaroo State, together with Liverpool and Manchester, chase the battlecruisers of the Third Reich. We must find a way to reduce its speed. In addition, two destroyers are also on board!"Major General Roderick ordered

"Yes, General!"The officer replied.

After receiving the order, the heavy cruiser Kent, the heavy cruiser Kangaroo Country, the light cruisers Liverpool and Manchester, as well as the destroyers Corolla and Firefly, accelerated to catch up.

Even, in order to further To increase the speed, the two heavy cruisers and the two light cruisers did not hesitate to ventilate the boilers to further increase the speed.

This increased the speed of the fleet to 34. But this state can only be maintained for two or three hours. If it continues , it is very likely to damage the boiler. Even so, it will greatly reduce the service life of the boiler.

"Sir, the heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the Sun Never Sets Empire are catching up. Lieutenant Colonel Sanger exclaimed

"oh? What's going on with them?"Looking for it?" Colonel Fulkes's face also changed drastically.

"Who knows! Sir, does the Japanese Empire think that they can defeat us with just two ships, two light cruisers, and two destroyers?"Sanger said.

The expression on Colonel Fulkes' face kept changing.

"Very good, since these guys want to find it, then let them get it. Just reduce the speed by one knot and keep it at 31 knots."Colonel Fulkes ordered.

In this case, the heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the Empire on which the sun never sets can catch up. The Brave-class battlecruisers are the least able to catch up, and the distance will become farther and farther.

Battle of Barbarossa The battlecruiser may be able to seize this opportunity and kill the two heavy cruisers and two light cruisers of the Empire on which the sun never sets. This is also a big result for the battlecruiser Barbarossa.

After all, Constantly using powerful battlecruisers to attack merchant ships is really overkill. The sailors on the battlecruiser Barbarossa have long been eager to fight with the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Time. Little by little, it was past 6 p.m., almost dusk, when the sun never set, two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and two destroyers of the Third Squadron of the Royal Navy's Encirclement and Suppression Fleet finally caught up.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The four twin-mounted 203mm main guns of the heavy cruiser Kent and the Kangaroo Kingdom began to roar. The four triple-mounted 152mm main guns of the light cruiser Liverpool and the light cruiser Manchester also began to fire.

Despite the discussion In terms of tonnage and size, these four heavy cruisers and light cruisers combined are not as good as the battlecruiser Barbarossa. But they behaved very bravely and were not intimidated at all. The brave style of the Royal Navy has been cultivated for hundreds of years. , performed vividly.

The battlecruiser Barbarossa naturally would not sit still and wait for death.

The three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm main guns, as well as the two twin-mounted 150mm secondary guns on the sides, began to fire.. The three triple-mounted 150mm secondary guns of the light cruiser Cassel were also pouring shells on the light cruiser Manchester.

The naval battle suddenly became fierce.

"Open fire and kill them! Let them know how powerful the Imperial Navy is!"Colonel Fulkes ordered

"boom! boom! boom!"

The three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm main guns of the battleship Barbarossa began to roar. The heavy shells hit the heavy cruiser Kent hard.

Even if it was one vs. three, Barbarossa The battlecruiser USS Cassel was also unfazed.

The light cruiser USS Cassel and the light cruiser USS Manchester also fought.

As for the destroyers on both sides, they maintained a tacit understanding and did not launch an attack. Instead, they protected the battleships to avoid The capital ship was struck by enemy lightning

"Damn it! Despicable Germans. Do their huge battle cruisers only dare to fight our heavy cruisers?"Rear Admiral Rodrik cursed.

It can be said that it is almost impossible for a heavy cruiser to defeat a battlecruiser. The

203-meter main gun cannot penetrate the thick armor of the battlecruiser Barbarossa. Especially Under Hess's suggestion, the battlecruiser Barbarossa thickened the armor of its main parts. The price was that the speed was reduced by two knots, but the defense was much stronger. This will undoubtedly improve its survivability in a naval battle.
