Germanic Empire: please call me William III

On the surface of the sea, the warships of both sides are like knights wearing heavy armor and charging at high speed.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The three triple 50-caliber 380 mm main guns of the ‘Lyuzov’ battlecruiser began to fire on a test, and one after another heavy armor-piercing shells weighing nearly a ton smashed into the ‘Invincible’ battlecruiser.
The battlecruiser Invincible immediately returned fire, and four twin 45-caliber 305 mm main guns opened fire fiercely, and armor-piercing shells weighing hundreds of kilograms smashed into the battlecruiser “Lyzov”.
However, the generals and officers of the Royal Navy, such as Rear Admiral Oliver and Colonel Henry, were obviously not very good-looking.
From the firing of the battlecruiser Lyzov, it can be seen that it is a super dreadnought equipped with a 380 mm main gun. If the battlecruiser ‘Invincible’ is hit, it will absolutely not be able to hold on, even if it does not die, it will definitely be severely damaged. As for whether the main gun of the battlecruiser Invincible could penetrate the armor of the battlecruiser Lyzov, it is difficult to say.
If he had known that the opposing battleship was so strong, perhaps Major General Oliver would not have been a hero.
But alas, it is too late to say this.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The battleships of both sides began to fire fiercely, and one shell after another slammed into each other’s warships, trying to hit each other’s warships and destroy the other’s warships.
One shell after another smashed into the sea, splashing a column of soaring water.
This makes the already choppy sea look more like it’s boiling.
The light cruisers on both sides also fought. Even the fighting was fierce.
The duel between light cruisers will not be like heavy cruisers, separated by more than 10,000 meters. They often open fire violently at a distance of several kilometers, and even approach within two or three kilometers. If the killing is crazy, it is also entirely possible to get close to within a kilometer.
Firing at this distance is equivalent to firing directly at the enemy’s stomach with an artillery.
In addition, the light cruisers’ defenses are a little weaker. Once hit by a shell, it often causes great damage and even ignites a raging fire. The sailors on both sides of the battleship will be even more alarming in death and injury.
Therefore, the battles between small and medium-sized warships tend to be a little more tragic.
It’s just that it’s not as thrilling as the engagement between the capital ships.
This also makes everyone’s eyes focus on the battle of the capital ships.
“Fire, aim a little, and take out the Germanic warships!”
On every Royal Navy warship, the officers were yelling at the top of their throats.
In the case of obvious disadvantages in strength, the Royal Navy hopes that their excellent qualities can play a greater role. And, thanks to their luck, it can be better. In this way, they may be able to win.
The quality of the Royal Navy’s sailors, which is notoriously good, is definitely the first in the world.
However, they soon discovered that the Germanic Imperial Navy was no worse than them.
Of course, in terms of the quality of sailors, the Germanic Imperial Navy may only be able to barely compare with the Imperial Royal Navy. However, on the battleships of the Germanic Imperial Navy, various sighting equipment and even fire control systems will perform better.
The progress of science and technology has directly made up for the gap in the quality of personnel on both sides.
This is also the reason why no one in the Royal Navy can challenge in the age of sail, but in the era of steel giants, the Royal Navy has more and more opponents.
In the age of sail, a qualified sailor was not so easy to train. But now, it’s much easier.
In such a situation, it is naturally more difficult for the Royal Navy to maintain its hegemony.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Shell after shell flew out of the chamber, and under the action of huge kinetic energy, it smashed into the opposing battleship.
Like a spear in the hand of a heavily armored knight, it stabbed at the enemy fiercely.
The battlecruiser Indomitable was besieged by the Germanic Navy’s heavy cruisers Sagittarius, Triangular and Aquila.
Although, these heavy cruisers only have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. In particular, the heavy cruiser Sagittarius was the first ‘Constellation-class’ heavy cruiser to be built, with a displacement of only 10,800 tons, almost half of the Invincible class battlecruisers. The subsequent construction of the ‘Constellation class’ heavy cruisers, displacement continued to increase.
The heavy cruisers “Triangular” and the heavy cruisers “Sky Arrow” already had a displacement of twelve thousand tons.
If one-on-one, the heavy cruisers of the Germanic Imperial Navy may not be the opponents of the ‘Invincible-class’ battlecruisers that never set.
However, it is now three to one.
So, the situation is completely different.
The 210 mm main guns of the three Constellation-class heavy cruisers opened fire violently, and the dense shells smashed into the battlecruiser Indomitable.
Shells fell like raindrops and exploded around the battlecruiser Indomitable, splashing columns of water.
This made the battlecruiser Indomitable feel as if it were in the middle of a storm.
Although the Indomitable battlecruiser has a larger displacement than the Constellation-class battlecruiser. The main gun caliber is also much larger. However, the defenses of the battlecruiser Indomitable were very weak.
The thickness of the thickest part of the waterline armor is only 152 mm, the deck armor is 64 mm, the front armor thickness of the turret is 178 mm, and the thickness of the commander tower armor is 254 mm.
With the exception of the commander tower, which is a little thicker and able to withstand the 210 mm main gun of the Constellation-class heavy cruisers, the armor of the other major parts is not thick enough to withstand the 210 mm main gun.
Once hit, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The battlecruiser Indomitable was besieged by three constellation-class heavy cruisers.
Although, the 305 mm main gun of the Battlecruiser Indomitable is not something that the Constellation-class heavy cruisers can carry. But similarly, the constellation-class heavy cruiser’s 210 mm main gun can also inflict fatal damage on it.
It can be said that in this battle, the three ‘invincible-class’ battlecruisers of the Imperial Royal Navy are not in the ascendancy. That one is at a disadvantage.
If they want to turn the tables in this battle, they may really only be able to rely on luck.
