Boom boom boom boom...

The volley of 54 15-inch (380mm) cannons really hit the earth and rock the mountain! General Karls and Colonel Wagner both grabbed the telescope tightly. Inside the camera was a dazzling muzzle flame and the huge body of the next British battleship.

The British and German fleets hit the flares on each other almost at the same time. The British were illuminated by the battleship Lamilis. The German flagship Frederick I was exposed to a pale light.

The first wave of shells fired by the British fell. The most recent one was even 50 meters away from the starboard side of the Frederick I. Water droplets more than ten meters high rose into the air, and huge waves even spread to the deck.

Even General Karls, who participated in the Battle of Jutland, was so scared by the scene in front of him that there was really no weapon in the world that could compare with the main guns of battleships. Even V3 missiles could not produce such a magnificent scene.

Unfortunately, the era of battleships has passed, and the future belongs to aircraft and missiles. It is precisely because the German Navy seized this trend of change that it was able to revive and have a brilliant future.

The raindrop-like shells fell again, and dozens of huge water columns rose up near the starboard side of the three P-class missile cruisers. At this time, the main guns of the three P-class ships on the sea surface were also fired. Since a turret of Maria Teresa was destroyed in the air strike on May 2, only 5 turrets, a total of 15 280mm cannons can be fired, and the momentum is not comparable to the 54 16-inch cannons of the British.

Seeing the Germans' powerless counterattack, General John Tovey felt relieved. This time he could sink the German battlecruiser, and at least two ships would have to sink! This way, he could block Ireland for at least one week... With this precious week, the British Army could destroy every German guy who landed in Ireland.

Today's naval battle may become the turning point of World War II!

Rumble! Rumble!

Two loud noises of earth shaking came, interrupting the thoughts of General John Tovey. He quickly raised his telescope and looked forward, wanting to see the tragic situation of the German battle cruiser that was shot, but the one that appeared in the eyepiece was an intact battle cruiser.

What's going on? When he was wondering, someone was already shouting around him.

"La Milis!La Milis explodes!"

What!? When John Tovey heard this, he almost didn't hold the telescope in his hand. He quickly turned to the direction of the Lamilis and saw that the entire ship of the 30,000-ton battleship was covered by fire and the hull was seriously tilted to the port side, as if a shell had penetrated its underwater armor!

This is ridiculous! Admiral Tovey couldn't believe his eyes. How could a battleship like the USS Lamilis be so fired by a 280mm cannon? This damage seems to be only possible by the 80,000-ton Japanese super battleship that could only be fired with a 460mm caliber cannon when it arrived in the Atlantic Ocean. Could it be that the Japanese super battleship that arrived in the Atlantic Ocean? But I didn't see the muzzle flames of the 460mm cannon firing.

"Admiral!" The chief of staff of the local fleet Mountbatten shouted at this time, "The Ramilius reported that they were hit by two fearless missiles!"

"What? Fearless missile?" General Tovey felt even more ridiculous. Are the Nazis crazy? Do they need to fight like this now? The war situation is obviously more beneficial to them!

"Commander, the Germans are retreating, they are evacuating at high speed!"

General Tovey heard someone shouting again, and he hurriedly raised his telescope to look at it. The German battlecruiser under the flares had indeed disappeared in a large area of ​​smoke, obviously retreating under the cover of smoke bombs.

What's going on? Why do the Germans always retreat and come back? What's the tactic?

Of course, this British Admiral did not expect that the Germans temporarily evacuated because the missile loading method was too troublesome, but he now felt that the situation was wrong and very wrong!

First, the three heavy cruisers were severely injured (it was still burning at sea, but I could hardly hold on), then the battleship Lamilis was severely injured, and it was also hit by the Fearless Aircraft... It seems that the three heavy cruisers were also injured by the Fearless Aircraft!

So... are there any fearless planes in the sky now?

Thinking of this, General Tovey no longer has any intention of fighting. The Germans have such a big advantage and are not afraid of death and are not afraid of fearless attacks. What kind of play does the British Empire have? It seems that they can only live their lives in Canada...

Just as General Tovey was about to order his retreat, another loud bang came from the sea, and then he heard someone shouting: "The ammunition depot of the Ramilius exploded, God, it's over!"

The Ramilius is finished, and the British Royal Navy seems to be almost finished! Admiral Tovey is in a very heavy mood. He saw the battleship whose half of the hull had fallen into the sea not far away but was raised high on the bow, sighed and issued an order to retreat.

...

"The Lamilis battle sinks, the Cavendish battle sinks, the Berwick battle sinks, the Hawkins battle sinks...

Moreover, the operation to lay mines outside Cork Bay was not successful. After defeating the main force of the local fleet, the German fleet went outside Cork Bay, attacked the B fleet that was laying mines, and sank the Adventure."

When the First Minister of Maritime Affairs Dudley Pound said this, he glanced at Churchill with a blank expression and said, "Admiral Tovey has submitted his resignation after returning to Clyde Bay."

"I know." Churchill nodded, "The Admiralty can approve his resignation... Then let Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Fraser take over him. In addition, is Clyde Bay still safe now? Are you going to transfer the local fleet?"

"You can move to Lorne Bay, which is more than a hundred kilometers north."

In fact, Lorne Bay is not much safer than Clyde Bay. Once Germany seizes the Ireland Island and deploys a large number of aircraft on the island, the British local fleet will not have a safe port on the local area. By then, the local fleet will probably become a Canadian fleet. And the people in this conference room can only leave the local area in shame and move to Canada on the other side of the Atlantic to live their lives.

"Well, go to Lorne Bay, close to Fort William." Churchill said only halfway. The other half was "to facilitate His Majesty the King and the Cabinet to move from Fort William to Canada by boat."

It seemed inevitable to move into Canada, but Churchill was still unwilling to give up his efforts until the last moment.

"Well, after all, we hit Nazi Germany hard in the English Channel, causing them to lose two aircraft carriers and one battlecruiser, and dozens of troop carriers and cargo ships to sink."

Churchill said in a very majestic and reassuring tone: "Our victory in the English Channel, and the Royal Navy Submarine Force, the Mine Force has achieved or will achieve victory is decisive. These victories will save the Irish people from the iron hoof of the Nazis, and will ensure that this land of Ireland will always be bathed in democracy, freedom and…"

"Mr. Prime Minister."

Deputy Prime Minister Attley suddenly pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in. Because he was the leader of the Labour Party of Britain, he still had some friendship with the leader of the Irish Republican Party. Last night, he was looking for a way to contact Irish Prime Minister Emon de Valera. But looking at his frustrated expression now, everyone knew the result.

"There is no other way. The Irish Prime Minister told me that the German fleet had entered the Cork Bay. Now the German army in Ireland has exceeded 50,000! The Irish government has to cooperate with the Germans..."

50,000!? So many?

The faces of the senior officials present became even more ugly. The 50,000 Nazi armed to the teeth have already arrived on the Ireland Island! What should I do now? The total British army in Northern Ireland is only more than 100,000, and there are only a few hundred tanks. How can it beat the 50,000 Nazi Superman?

"Why is it only 50,000?"

When he heard Churchill’s question, Viscount Brook, the chief of staff of the Empire, had the urge to give up his pick and go to Canada to farm.

What does it mean to be only 50,000? Do you think the person who came to it is Italian? That is the Germanic Nazi Superman! 50,000 is not enough?

"Not enough!" Churchill said, "at least 150,000!"

150,000? Viscount Brook thought that if there were 150,000 Montgomery, he would have to be a prisoner...

"There are 1,000 tanks No. 4 and assault guns No. 3!" Churchill continued, "Just say that to the outside world, Stalin would definitely believe it. The Germans paid such a great price, and even the aircraft carriers had sunk. How could it be that only 30,000 people were transported? At least 100,000 people, and an armored army would be transported to Ireland soon... According to the intelligence, they were already on the way. So Ireland will soon become the main battlefield of the world's anti-Nazi and anti-fascist war!"

As soon as Fatty Qiu said this, the British cabinet ministers and the heads of the navy, army and air forces in the room suddenly realized. This was for the Red Tsar of Moscow. The 150,000 Nazis who arrived in Ireland were just the beginning. In the long run, there must be 1 million or 1.5 million! This is like the main battlefield. If most of the Nazi army was restrained in Ireland, then the Soviet Red Army could open up a second battlefield on the Eastern Front.

"Mr. Prime Minister," Viscount Brook made a suggestion immediately, "the 12th Army should be expanded into the 12th Army, and should also announce additional troops to Ireland."

Churchill nodded, "Now set up an Irish Army Group to make it at the same level as the Local Defense Command. The commander-in-chief can be appointed by the commander of the 1st Army, Harold Alexander, and at the same time he is promoted to general to show the importance of the Irish battlefield."
