"The British Navy suffered a Waterloo!"

"In the Battle of the Century, the German High Seas Fleet won a great victory! The German Navy is proud!"

"The Battle of England and Germany, the British fleet was completely wiped out!"

"The iron cross floats high over the North Sea!"

"Air attacks destroyed Scarpaflo, and the plane became the new natural enemy of the warship!"

...

On September 3, 1914, news of the victory of the German Navy filled the front pages of major newspapers around the world. People were surprised by this matter even more than two months ago. The assassination of Grand Duke Ferdinand, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, has become the natural maritime overlord in people's minds for many years. 100 years ago, France and Spain, which were unprecedentedly powerful under Napoleon, jointly challenged the British Navy, but ended up losing. 100 years later, the Germanic nation, who had always been accustomed to living on land, challenged the extremely powerful British Navy with its disadvantaged maritime power. In just one day, the British fleet that was higher than the entire German Navy was almost wiped out.

Although the British suffered heavy losses on September 2, many people still hold the concept of "a lean camel is bigger than a horse". They believe that the British have just taken a nap for the time being, while more people believe that the more intense and exciting era of British-German maritime hegemony has arrived.

On the sea south of the North Sea, an extremely large fleet was slowly sailing south. At the forefront of the fleet, 16 majestic and hideous Fearless Class battleships and 12 old battleships were lined up in four neat columns, with majestic and thick black ground cannons being their despicable capital; the center of the fleet was the biggest contributor to defeating the British Navy - the "Lisa" and the "Super Duck Mom". Pilots and ground crews who had been working for a day were mostly blew leisurely at this time, and only a few reconnaissance and patrol planes were occasionally

Take off or land from the deck; at the rear of the fleet, a large number of destroyers and cruisers carrying war captives were also towed warships where they lost their power due to injuries, including the heavily damaged battlecruisers "Diseritz" and "Moltch" battlecruisers, as well as five other German destroyers, three British battleships and one British cruiser, while the "Von der Tann" and two other captured British warships can still sail slowly with their own power. The submarines follow the fleet like a group of big sharks floating in the sun on the surface of the sea.

In the captain's room of the flagship "Frederick the Great", General Jellyd, who had become a prisoner, tried his best to maintain his demeanor, but his eyes kept glancing out the window. Unfortunately, the aircraft carrier could not be observed at that angle.

"Mr. Admiral, don't be restrained! We invite you to come and just chat casually!" Tirpidz and Heidrich on the chair looked at each other. They were friends for many years. Jellid was their opponents for many years, and gathering in such an environment was something that no one of them had ever thought of.

"Thank you for your generosity! I know that I am a prisoner in your territory and have no right to make any requests, but as a soldier, I really hope to see the weapons to defeat me!" Jellyd did not intend to talk to them, he now only had one idea. He was to look at the secret weapons of the Germans.

"Sir Admiral, we may not be able to meet your request!" Tilpiz directly refused his request. All British prisoners were taken to the back of the fleet, and no British should have the opportunity to see an aircraft carrier. If it were not for the need to continue to use aircraft carriers to carry out air strikes and blockade of British land, Heidrich even wanted to directly drive the raid fleet back to East Prussia. Now the raid fleet and the high seas fleet return to Wilhelmshaven together, and the "Lisa" and "Super Duck Mom" ​​will also be disguised as they were in Keel Harbor last time.

"Sooner or later the world will recognize and understand this weapon. But now, it only belongs to Germany!" Heidrich said that, and asked the guards to invite Jellyde out, leaving only him and Tirpiz in the room.

"Do you remember when we saw this guy at the banquet at the Vienna Palace? I don't know how arrogant and arrogant he was, but now he has finally been retribution! Look at his bitter face, haha!" Tirpiz looked happy, and Prince Heidrich also had the same expression.

"Yes! Do you still remember? Twenty years ago, when we collaborated on the Jazz cruiser, we often hoped that one day we could command the powerful German Navy to defeat the British. Today we really did it!" Recalling the past years, Heidrich couldn't help but sigh that time flew.

"Remember, of course! But 6 years ago you left the Navy and left me alone to support me. It was really not interesting!" Tilpiz walked to a small cabinet, took out a bottle of champagne and poured a glass of glass by himself. Hedrich hesitated for a moment, took the cup and said:

"I didn't accept the emperor when he asked me to command the super fleet in his planned order, because I believed that we could not defeat the British and I didn't want to do things that were doomed to fail. Isn't this very cowardly?"

"Anyway, we have now completed the most unlikely task in the world. The past has passed, and now we can finally fight side by side again!" Tirpiz raised the cup in his hand and looked at his old comrades sincerely.

"That's right! But I still need to thank someone if I can go to the battlefield again!"

"You mean the Prince of East Prussia? He is indeed a rare talent, an imaginative commander, but he still needs more experience. He still lacks a domineering attitude, the domineering attitude of leading a country!"

"Tirpiz, you..." Heidrich looked surprised. Although he had the same idea, he did not expect that this sentence would come out of Tirpiz's mouth.

"I just talk about the matter and did not target the current crown prince!" After looking at each other for a few seconds, the two did not continue to talk. After clinking glasses, they drank the champagne in one go.

When the fleet sailed towards Wilhelmshaven, a signal was sent from the harbor: The heroes who wanted to return in triumph!

Many German citizens even came from dozens of kilometers away, and the dock was surrounded by people holding flowers and small flags. German Emperor William II also came to the viewing platform early. Countless nobles and politicians gathered around him, and the congratulations and compliments were just like the surging river...

There were two huge airships floating above the pier. Looking from the airship, there were masts outside the port and smoked, and the entire fleet had stopped. The battleships in front began to enter the port one by one.

Amid the roaring salute, the flagship of the High Seas Fleet "Frederick the Great" first sailed into Wilhelmshaven. Five turrets of double-mounted 305mm caliber cannons were installed on the 24,000-ton behemoth, including one main turret at the head, two diagonally arranged in the center and two stern at the stern. In the previous day's battle, he and the "Kathering" worked together to sank the British battleship "Imperial". He was also hit by two British shells, and there were obvious bullet marks on the port side.

Behind the "Frederick the Great", there are two king-class battleships that have been in service and embodied the essence of German ship technology. The "King" in the place of service on August 9, 1914 and the "Election Emperor" in the class. The number of turrets of this class is the same as the caliber of the main gun, and all 5 turrets are arranged along the center line. There are 2 seats at the head and tail of the ship, and 1 muzzle in the middle is arranged backwards. In the battle to pursue British warships, they arrived first with a maximum speed of 21 knots and severely damaged two British warships that lost their speed after being hit by torpedoes.

Next entering the harbor were the four remaining battleships of the Caesar class except Frederick the Great: the Caesar, the Caesar, the King Albert, and the Regent Louiseboel. During the naval battle, they sank and injured 4 British battleships in total. The Caesar and the Caesar, the King Albert, and the King Albert were slightly injured.

Amid the cheers of 100,000 German citizens, the remaining battleships entered one after another, and all the naval officers and soldiers lined up to salute the bow and the side of the ship. The superstructure was already mixed with unbearable views of the "Diseritz". The "Moltz" and "Von-der-Tann" battle cruisers appeared, the dock suddenly became much quieter, and low sighs came one after another. However, when the captured British battleships "George V", "Bold", "Ajax", "Conqueror", "Thunderbolt", and "Forward" were dragged slowly into the harbor, thunderous applause and cheers erupted again from the crowd. These British warships only took 4-8 ​​months to enter the battle sequence of the German Navy.

The aircraft carrier and submarine battle groups are waiting quietly 5 nautical miles outside the port, and they will quietly enter Wilhelmshaven after dark.

When the "Frederick the Great" approached the dock, the greatest heroes of the British Navy, Tirpitz and Prince Heidrich, appeared together under the attention of everyone. The pilots, submarine captains and other naval officers and soldiers, who made great achievements in the naval battle, followed closely behind. They came to the emperor along the long red carpet, and the German emperor would award them medals. The entire celebration continued until nightfall, and citizens from all over Germany even cared all night.

That night, William II had dinner with Tirpitz and Prince Heidrich. After dinner, they had a three-hour conversation. Heidrich highlighted the idea of ​​raiding the main British naval ports and captains.

At the imperial meeting the next day, the German Emperor announced a very important appointment: because he led the High Seas Fleet out of his voyage without authorization, Navy Marshal Tirpiz was removed from his post as commander of the High Seas Fleet and still served as the Imperial Navy Minister; the raid fleet that attacked the British Port of Scarpaflo was temporarily merged into the High Seas Fleet, and Prince Heidrich, the commander of the raid fleet, was appointed as the new commander of the High Seas Fleet; the Baltic Sea Squadron was upgraded to the Baltic Sea Fleet, and the Prince of Prussia also served as the commander of the fleet. Three old battleships originally belonged to the High Seas Fleet were transferred into the Baltic Sea Fleet to curb Tsarist Russia's military power in the Baltic Sea.

The German Emperor also proposed that the task of the German Navy and the new high seas fleet is to firmly grasp control of the North Sea, and to shell and bomb important coastal cities and shipyards in the UK as soon as possible, forcing the British Navy to concentrate the remaining forces to fight and destroy them in one fell swoop, and then replace Britain's overlord position in various oceans.

Everyone, including Heidrich himself, was very surprised, and he quickly expressed his willingness to take on this important task. Naval Secretary Tirpiz also said that he would work with Prince Heidrich to create an unprecedented powerful navy for Germany.
