[With the first disciple, I was going to add another chapter, but after the rat body was shocked, I suddenly found that there were still ten chapters to urge the votes to be updated. Well, I was defeated, I sent a four thousand-word chapter to the meaning. I added this, I really haven't had this recently...]

The fourth team was in a mess and could hardly imagine outsiders. As a former dreadnought ship with insufficient firepower but excellent defense performance, the Germans believed that the Prussian-class battleship was old but still had a strong spirit. But the fact is that the fourth team, which had been concentrated in eight fast battleships in the British fast fleet, suffered heavy damage and sank, leaving only the ability to fight and remove armor.[]

Facing the vicious British, Major General F-von-lichtenfels, the commander of the fourth squad, who lost an old battleship, understood that his military career had ended in advance. The military court considered the strength of the British and his own weakness, and might understand that the verdict was light, but the stain was the stain, and Major General F-von-lichtenfels would never be stingy to bear it. However, that was after the end of the naval war. The major general's current responsibility was to save his fleet as much as possible.

After a short and long rush, the huge hulls of the four king-class battleships of the Seventh Team were already far away. Before the Bavarian-class and Markens-class ships were launched to serve, the King-class battleships equipped with 350mm heavy artillery and 350mm waterline with main armor were obviously the secret weapon of the Ocean Fleet. Going closer to the Seventh Team and surviving under the wings of the King-class battleship was obviously the only way to save the Fourth Team.

The fourth team is about to usher in a breathing dawn, but Major General F-von-lichtenfels, the commander of the squadron, who is nicknamed "Thinker", has many doubts, such as the direction of the British fast fleet coming out, and where did Betty use only eight fast battleships to challenge the Ocean Fleet from.

At 3 o'clock, the Hanover Telegraph Room received the telegram from the flagship Fitreau the Great, and the Major General's doubts were answered: the British regarded the poor Fourth Team as Heidi Sileme's first reconnaissance fleet and were full of old fists. The Fourth Team caused unintentional disaster.

The flagship informed the Fourth Team of Scher's decision and decided to transfer the two old battleships of the Fourth Team into the safer left wing. However, the Major General obviously had a different mind. In the view of f-von-lichtenfels, it was time-consuming and laborious to go from a cruise formation to a battle line column formation. Perhaps during the period when the Ocean Fleet changed its formation, the Royal Navy Rapid Fleet had already seen everything and escaped.

The current sea situation is that the British hide in the sea fog, and their speed is generally above 24 knots. If the ocean fleet cannot entangle the opponent at the first time, the ocean fleet that cannot catch up with may only sigh.

It is obvious that letting the broken Fourth Team launch a desperate attack on the British and winning time for the Ocean Fleet is the best and only way. Without much thought, Major General f-von-lichtenfels issued an order with great enthusiasm.

"Send a report to the flagship that our fleet is willing to win glory, and Germany is above everything else!" f-von-lichtenfels pulled his wedding ring out of his hand and put it in a snow-white envelope along with the family photo in his shirt pocket. "There will be a desire to die, and the soldier will not be greedy for life! The fourth team turned around and fought back against the British!"

The terrified commanders and staff of the fourth team looked at each other, and saw the faint fear in each other's eyes, the simplest Xiyi.

After an embarrassing silence, the captain of the Hanover stood up first and smiled loudly and said, "Commander, for Germany!"

In the commander's tower, the voices belonging to the German nation were sparse, but in a few seconds it gathered into a common cry, the strongest voice of the times.

"For Germany!"

The seriously injured sailor of the USS Silesia was forcibly taken to a lifeboat. The cold-faced and kind-hearted medical officer untied the cable with tears in his eyes and gave them survival. The "left full rudder" flashed at the top of the superstructure of the Hanover, which was carved by the main shells and 4-inch secondary guns. The hull of the Prussian class, which had over 10,000 tons, trembled violently, the bulky servo started working, and the bow gradually pointed to the British rapid fleet, a behemoth with eight fast battleships.

Without flowers, no applause, or even the understanding of the commander-in-chief of the Ocean Fleet, the Fourth Detachment rushed towards the last sea where the British had appeared. Taking advantage of the spare time, the young sailors were writing what might be the last letter of home; the veterans climbed onto the deck and carefully caressed the turtle of the warships mixed with the mottled rust of the years in their eyes. The sailors on the main mast tried hard to resist the invasive chill, holding up a telescope to check the increasingly noble and heroic Beihai.

The fourth team was busy with a desperate blow, and the former hunter, the British Rapid Fleet, had terminated its pursuit westward and readjusted its course.

"Major General Brock ordered the Thirteenth Destroyer to go 1,000 meters west. Remember to remind those guys who are prone to fever that their mission is to be alert to reconnaissance rather than launching meaningless torpedo sneak attacks." In the tower of the Lion Battle Patrol Commander, the lights were dim. David Betty solemnly signed his name on the telegraph paper, determined to flicker before the storm of the Ocean Fleet. "Order, the Fifth Light Cruise Fleet goes 500 meters north, and each ship is gradually turning on the searchlights, five seconds each time, and five times. After completing a tactical action, the Fifth Light Cruise Fleet can retreat east at the right time, and we will connect them at the northern end of the Jutland coastline."

Major General Osmond Brock, chief of staff of Betty, took the order happily and closed the telegram to the telegram room at the back end of the commander tower.

"Watch Tower, pay attention to your west side. If there is any abnormal movement, please report to the Commander Tower as soon as possible."

In the internal telephone and microphone, the lookout responded with a powerful voice.

At 3,000 yards to the northwest of the fast fleet, the fourth team who was looking for death was full of murderous aura. At this time, a faint light flashed in the sorrowful fog of the North Sea.

"The commander tower is located at 347 and is about 2400 yards away. Four beams of signal lights were found."

The Hannover watchtower immediately sent the information to Major General F-von-lichtenfels. The Major General sneered, turned his face and asked his staff officer: "Is the light located in the southwest or northwest where the British last appeared?"

The track map of the fourth team was copied by trained staff officers, and the truth was revealed when the British finally appeared. Calculated the advance to the west, Major General f-von-lichtenfels even believed that the British were only 3,600 yards away from them.

"Northwest direction." The lights were marked on the chart, and they were clearly visible. Many young staff members looked at the blood-red point on the chart, sucking in air, waiting for the glorious moments belonging to the Fourth Team.

"Fourth Team, turn to the southwest!" Major General f-von-lichtenfels' fair face twitched and gave an order that seemed a bit cruel to him.

"General, I have to remind you that the lights are in the northwest direction!" The Major General's order made many people feel relieved. After all, no one likes death! However, they are professional soldiers from militarism. The sense of mission of soldiers makes them point out the command error of the squadron commander even afterwards.

"Gentlemen, just a few months of luxury are enough to make you forget the Dogel Sand Chamber naval battle case that the General Staff focused on analyzing?"

Major General f-von-lichtenfels' guidance made everyone lose their voice. In November 1914, Major General Heidi Silaime, who was also the deputy commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, commanded three main battleships to raid the British mainland and faced the five battle patrols and three super-dreadnoughts. At that time, Silaime's temporary flagship Moltke was severely damaged and was constantly hunted by the Lion Battle Patrol. However, it was Silaime's effective tactic deception that delayed time, which not only created the myth that the Moltke battle patrol never sank, but also allowed the reinforcement fleet of Hippel and General Scher to win precious time, easily sinking the Thor's super-dreadnought and Queen Mary in the night battle.

As the only case in the dreadnought era, whether it is the two strong men in the British and German forces involved in naval battles, or the naval powers that are closely following the naval powers, the United States and Japan attach great importance to this epoch-making naval battle. The character of the commander, every tactical action, every naval detail, the understanding and use of naval weapons, and the entry points that can be found are now detailed comments and explanations. If Betty wants to use the tactics used by Silame, he has to ask him f-von-lichtenfels

At 3:13 am, the British fast fleet's steering movement continued in the North Sea, and eight main battleships drew halos of different sizes in a corner of the North Sea. The fourth team was also turning, constantly getting closer to the British.

2,000 yards are only a distance of meters. Even the German 88 guns with very little shell power, the 47mm machine guns temporarily installed by the British have great potential. However, at such a close distance, the two fleets only had a gorgeous crossover in the sea fog with visibility of no more than 300 meters and the dark night.

At 3:16 a.m., a steam leak occurred in the boiler repaired by the 4th Detachment No. 1 Silesia, which was rushing to repair, and the battleship barely maintained its speed dropped sharply. In order to avoid a ship collision, Silesia did not care about the British fast fleet that might be ambushed nearby, and quickly called out the illumination of "sustaining ships to slow down". At the rear of the 4th Detachment, the well-trained German boys took only more than ten minutes, and the long battle line of the Ocean Fleet had already taken shape.

Victory seemed to be within reach at this time, but Betty's fast fleet had already adjusted its course. The rice flag on the main mast of the Lion crackled, and the coal smoke from the advancing forward at full speed was spread around the warship. Queen Elizabeth once again pressed and ventilated. As the boiler was running at a high speed, the entire fleet turned northeastward at a speed of 25 knots.

At 4:03, the search mission that stopped was unsustainable. Even if Schell gritted his teeth, he had to admit that David Betty had a little frigidity, his sense of war and command ability were no less than Heidi Sileme, the best young man in the German Navy. The rapid fleet of the Royal Navy almost broke away from the battle at the last moment.

Schell's reaction was fast. As soon as the sound of gunfires of the fourth team and the enemy fleet were heard, Schell ordered the Ocean Fleet to change its formation, intending to crush the British "thin-skinned armored cruisers" equipped with giant cannons with thunder. Major General f-von-lichtenfels' choice was decisive. The fourth team with only two old-fashioned battleships was fearless and even turned around and launched a desperate attack on the British, trying to win time for the main fleet. However, Betty was not a famous person. With thick sea fog and night cover, Betty escaped with just a beautiful reverse thinking and sneaked out of the German vision.

Naval battle is a complex system project full of unpredictable but never lacks quiet calculations. It is unreasonable to maintain the battle line column formation that is difficult to take care of. Schell adjusted the formation of the Ocean Fleet into a search formation: the Hannover and Silesia, who survived the fourth team, were transferred into the First Cruise Fleet, forming a left-wing search force with the First and Second Destroyers, and maintaining a distance of 2,500 meters from the main force; the core force of the Ocean Fleet, the seventeen main battleships, arranged four columns according to the battle sequence, each column being 3,000 meters away; the right wing, the third and fourth destroyer detachments and the fourth reconnaissance fleet, which are most likely to appear in the British fast fleet, have become the main search forces, maintaining a distance of 1,000 meters from the main force.

From the initial cruise formation to the column formation behind the enemy, after the British fast fleet escaped the pursuit, the Ocean Fleet changed its formation again and set out a search formation. After three shocks in one night, the Ocean Fleet sailors on duty all night were somewhat tired, but the young faces that experienced the bitter cold wind were full of excitement. They firmly believed that the time for the destruction of Silem's long-time enemy Betty was only moved backwards, and no one could defeat the Navy God of War, even if they were the Royal Navy!

Sure enough, at 5:47, the fog in the North Sea showed a slight collapse. An emergency telegram from Heidi-Silem came from the southern end of the Skagrak Strait. The First Reconnaissance Fleet encountered the British Rapid Fleet!
