Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The cannons roared, and heavy shells slammed into each other’s battleships.
Both sides seemed to be full of strength, and they tried their best to take out the other side’s warships and win the naval battle.
But alas, a naval battle cannot have two victors at the same time. There are winners, and naturally there are losers.
The Imperial Royal Navy’s luck was good, and it took the lead in hitting.
The battlecruiser Invincible and the indomitable battlecruiser both hit each other first. Unfortunately, none of the 305 mm shells they fired penetrated the main armor of the German imperial navy’s battlecruisers Lützov and Goeben and did not cause decent damage to them.
Instead, the siege of the battlecruiser “Indomitable” by three Constellation-class heavy cruisers achieved remarkable results, and several 210 mm shells hit the Battlecruiser Indomitable. Moreover, it penetrated several major armors, causing considerable damage to the battlecruiser Indomitable. However, for a huge battlecruiser with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, it is obviously difficult to sink it with only a few 210 mm shells. However, if more and more 210 mm shells are being fired. The sum of the few was enough to sink the battlecruiser Indomitable.
“Your Excellency, the battlecruiser ‘Indomitable’ is in a very bad situation, and the 210 mm main gun of the Germanic heavy cruiser is capable of inflicting fatal damage on it. The ‘Indomitable’ who is under siege is already facing a terrible situation! Colonel Henry said.
Rear Admiral Oliver nodded, “Send a telegram to the battlecruiser Indomitable that there is only one way out of the current situation, and that is to hit the Germanic warships.” As long as the Germans were destroyed with a 305 mm main gun and even two heavy cruisers, they would have a good chance. If, before they could sink, they could not kill the Germanic heavy cruisers, they would be dead! ”
Obviously, the battlecruiser Invincible and the battlecruiser Indomitable are both self-conscious at the moment, and naturally they cannot rescue the battlecruiser “Indomitable”.
Colonel Henry nodded and sent a telegram to the battlecruiser Indomitable.
In fact, the dilemma faced by the battlecruiser “Indomitable” is also the dilemma of the Invincible and the Indomitable.
All of the Invincible class battlecruisers were very weakly armored. So that when facing the capital ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy, once hit, the consequences were unimaginable.
The only thing the sailors of the Imperial Navy could do was perhaps pray to God that the Germanic shells would not hit them.
However, this is clearly not possible.
The imperial royal navy’s shipbuilding philosophy is to pay attention to speed and firepower, and despise defense. So much so that most of their warships are thin-skinned and stuffed. In naval warfare, this will become a fatal disadvantage of the Royal Navy, which will inevitably cause great adverse effects.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The three triple 380 mm main guns of the battlecruiser Lyuzov were still firing fiercely, and one shell after another was smashed into the battlecruiser Invincible.
Although, until now, it has not been hit. But even so, the Invincible battlecruiser has become dangerous.
Once hit, the Invincible battlecruiser probably wouldn’t be able to resist for long and would soon be sunk.
“Your Excellency, I am afraid that we are not opponents of the Germans. Their firepower was too fierce, and the armor defense was extremely thick. Even if our main guns hit the opposing ship, we can only inflict insignificant damage to the other side. Colonel Henry had a look of fear on his face.
Although the battlecruiser Invincible performed very well, it had already hit the Germanic Navy’s battlecruiser Luzov three times.
Unfortunately, because the defense of the battlecruiser “Lyzov” was too strong. So much so that none of the three 305 mm armor-piercing shells were able to inflict substantial damage on the battlecruiser Lyzov.
The defenses of the invincible battlecruiser were too weak. Once hit, the powerful 380 mm shell was enough to inflict heavy damage on the invincible battlecruiser.
“God bless the Royal Navy!” Major General Oliver prayed darkly.
Praying for God’s blessing seemed to be the only thing he could do.
But alas, God did not seem to have heard His prayers at all, did not give Him any response.
The good fortune of the battlecruiser Invincible was over.
“Boom!”
A loud explosion was hit on the spot in the main turret of the foredeck of the Invincible battlecruiser.
The 178 mm thick armor was as paper paste as it could be easily penetrated by 380 mm armor-piercing shells.
The shell exploded inside the turret, destroying the entire turret.
The gunner inside was blown to smithereens in an instant.
Fortunately, there were no shells in the turret at the moment, nor was there a package of shots. Otherwise, it would have caused even more damage to the Invincible battlecruiser.
But even this has caused the invincible battlecruiser to suffer heavy damage.
Not only was a quarter of the fire lost, but there was also a raging fire on the foredeck.
This is also because of the strange gun layout of the Invincible class battlecruisers, with four main turrets and one on the front and rear decks. The other two were deployed in the middle of the battleship.
Otherwise, the Invincible battlecruiser would have lost more artillery.
However, after the battlecruiser Lyzov received the hit, it went straight into the state of concentrated fire.
If only it was a test before. So now, the three triple 50 caliber 380 mm main guns of the battlecruiser ‘Lyzov’ are fully fired.
With the cooperation of the semi-automatic ammunition supply device, the rate of fire is extremely fast, and it can be fired once every minute. This is already very rare for large-caliber main guns.
Only to see that one after another 380 mm shells smashed into the ‘Invincible’ battlecruiser, making the battlecruiser, which had already suffered heavy losses, in danger.
If a few more 380 mm shells were hit, or if key parts were hit once, the Invincible battlecruiser would probably be finished.
