“(The King of North Atlantic, Section 8, American Tragedy [End])

At 16:41, the panicked American battleship team collided head-on with the main force of the Ocean Fleet.

The Americans' situation at this moment can no longer be described as difficult, cruel, and desolate. The Americans only have three main battleships, the commander is a major general pulled out of the short man, and the officers and soldiers only have some fixed ship target gun training and few ocean-going experiences, while their opponent is the ocean-going fleet at its peak.

A few hours ago, the high seas fleet and the Royal Navy concentrated all their main battleships, fought against the sea of ​​stars under their feet, and then defeated their opponents for the second time. After the one-sided harvest battle, the Germans were involved by the vast northern part of the Fers Bay and were fleeing to three parts that could not be supported in time. The weakest part happened to encounter the American battleship squad that was heading south.

The sea situation in the Furth Bay may not be beneficial to the Americans, but at least it has given birth to many opportunities. Just when the Americans thought they could use some to take advantage of others, the Germans who had mastered the great fleet to combine and fight the small teams to perfection showed the rookies who had just stepped into the fearless and angry sea what was the Silame-style battlefield insight and the Ocean Fleet-style tactical execution, and told the fictional claiming how "Big White" the Great White Fleet, which was the new North Atlantic King, was in front of the new North Atlantic King!

In the 21st minute of the naval battle between Germany and the United States, eight battlecruisers in Germany's first reconnaissance cluster "stepped on the drums" and entered the battlefield at high speed from the northeast direction. Both the timing and angle were just right, forcing the Americans to give up their prey and ran to the preset direction with their tails and at the preset speed in the direction preset by the Germans.

In the 50th minute of the naval battle between Germany and the United States, the German main fleet appeared in front of the American battleship detachment. The main team of the Ocean Fleet, which had thirteen main battleships, had completed the snatch of the T-shaped horizontal position under the guidance of Baron Purple. The rear team was also turning on the way, forming a spectacular steel Great Wall against the Americans.

The Germans formed a double-sided attack on the three new battleships of the American Battleship Detachment, from harvesting the unrestrained ocean of the German disabled team to becoming a betrayal dog that everyone shouted to beat. The situation changed so quickly that the US Commander Major General Rodman was dazzled and caught off guard. The moment before he encountered the German main fleet, this commander, who had insufficient naval combat experience, strategic vision and personality charm, was still eager to hope that the German main force located on the west side of the battlefield could not find himself in time on the vast sea, but he did not expect that the Germans brought their meticulous attitude and stereotyped character to the naval battle, and used their ultimate tactical execution to tear the last trace of American hope to pieces!

Major General Rodman was stunned, his breathing was heavy, his eyes were bloodshot, his heart was unsteady, as if an angel and a devil were fighting in his mind, forcing the major general to face a false multiple-choice question.

‘Die or surrender?’

Major General Rodman repeatedly muttered Hamlet-style questioning. Perhaps he had already made a decision, but the dazzling star on the left shoulder stamp on the gorgeous and neat uniform was too dazzling, which forced Major General Rodman to lose his voice for the time being.

At 16:44, the sun in the North Sea had already tilted down, and at this moment, the German front team opened fire.

Four King-class battleships, 32 350mm main guns and three Caesar-class battleships, 30 305mm main guns, shot capped armor-piercing bullets, splashed like rain columns, and even though the high speed maintained by the Americans made it difficult for German observatorys to observe the opponent. The shelling accuracy was scary. However, it was not without surprises.

Three minutes later, the USS Oklahoma was shot by the concentrated fire. A 350mm armor-piercing projectile hit the front armor of the American's main turret with a straight ballistic.

If the Americans' main gun does not adopt the scam-saddle-common-saddle-mounted design, a mere 350mm capped armor-piercing projectile will definitely not shake the Nevada-class battleship that will bring the ultimate protection. However, the Americans who were eager to lay a layer of 1,618-inch main guns for the Nevada-class battleship suddenly felt sorry for the armor weight of the main turret. Under the banner of saving the tonnage of the warship, put the main guns in a double or triple order, and placed them side by side on the same gun stand in a relatively straight posture, thus forming the main guns.

It is very appropriate to describe the American's main gun, the design of the saddle-saddle mount, but even the British do not lack that little tonnage. The consequence of the weight of the main gun is that although the frontal defense armor of the American main gun is strong enough, the saddle-saddle of the main gun makes the lack of armor protection between the American double-equipped and each main gun in the three-two-mounted unit. Even though the Americans made a trick to make each American's main gun fire. The two adjacent main guns will affect each other's ballistics and shooting accuracy, but the saddle-saddle is a saddle-saddle, after all, it cannot be compared with the fully enclosed main turret of mainstream countries.

The 350mm armor-piercing bomb hit the right place in the gap between the saddle cannon stands. So after a violent explosion, the captain Oklahoma could only watch the double-mounted main gun weighing more than 60 tons in the commander's tower, and rolled up on the deck at an incredible angle, and then was engulfed by fire and large masses of toxic gas.

From time to time, firemen drilled out of the thick smoke near the Oklahoma II main gun, and then turned into coke in the breeze. Through the narrow commander tower observation hole, the captain found that the horizontal deck in front of the cockpit was like soft plasticine, twisted by external forces, and pieces of iron flying around to harvest life. The damaging team and medical soldiers saved the situation in vain. As a result, the fire and smoke continued to deepen along the breaks of the gun well and the horizontal deck, and finally spread to the depths of the hull.

The thick smoke-rolling appearance of the battleship Oklahoma scared the American battleship team that continued to move westward, the commander tower of the flagship Nevada, and the officer who was unwilling to fight focused his eyes on Major General Rodman's face, looking forward to Major General Rodman doing something 'what American professional officers should do at this time'.

‘Order, the fleet goes south, and all ships move freely…’

Facing his subordinates who were just about to step forward to force the palace, what else could Major General Rodman say? As long as he was not a lunatic, no one would think that just three American battleships could challenge the Ocean Fleet, not to mention the retreat of the American battleship team, which Rodman's previous hesitation had completely ruined.

Since discovering the main force of the Ocean Fleet, Major General Rodman has been in despair for a long time. The First Reconnaissance Cluster commanded by Lieutenant General Bihanik took advantage of this period and gradually caught up with the American battleship team with the high speed of the battleship patrol. They are located on the north side of the Americans and maintain a distance of about 17,000 meters from the Americans. Although the speed of about 25 knots does not allow the First Reconnaissance Cluster to perform any shelling action, the First Reconnaissance Cluster is worthwhile to lose the life of the battleship host, just as they blocked the Americans' way to strand the North Beach in imitation of the British Indomitable Battle Patrol, and forced the Americans to turn around and go south with a potential T-shaped head.

Major General Rodman finally came forward to take responsibility for the failure of the naval battle. The officers and soldiers of the American battleship team finally got the order they wanted. The Americans with low fighting spirit were relieved and began to think about how to "decently" end this battle that shouldn't have happened.

As a result, the seriously injured battleship Oklahoma raised the white flag at the first time. Under the threat of eight German destroyers' rapid-fire cannons and torpedoes, the Americans did not even have the courage and self-esteem to secretly open the bottom of the ship to the sea valve. The officers and soldiers of the battleship Oklahoma, who were afraid that the Germans would be angry and retaliated, handed the powerful main ship to the German sailors who came to take over the battleship, and then walked into the prisoner-of-war camp with a smile.

The Oklahoma battleship became the best research specimen for the German Navy. It was this fully captured American battleship that helped the Germans improve their understanding of warship protection, allowing the German Navy to completely abandon the concept of high-speed flickering, and gradually transition to the era of rebooting during the war period lasting twenty years.

Unlike the Oklahoma's direct surrender, although they were at the same destination, the captains of the Nevada and Texas decided to surrender after exhausting all the main shells.

Europeans did not refuse to surrender in an established manner under the premise of being isolated and out of ammunition and food. For Americans who cherish their lives, it is rare for Nevada and Texas to end the battle in a decent way. Unfortunately, they miscalculated their opponents and overestimated the survival ability of their own warships.

Under the concentrated fire of the German Ocean Fleet, the USS Texas battleship was shot more than 11 times, and was eventually hit by a 380mm armor-piercing projectile that hit the horizontal deck and ended its life.

On the other hand, although the rough and thick-skinned battleship of the Nevada battleship has repeatedly staged classic cases of the main armor belt spreading out German large-caliber armor-piercing bombs, since it is a battleship with key protection, the Nevada battleship must have a weak position of non-key protection. As a result, the Nevada battleship, which was chiseled, has holes, has been tilted because the hull of water in the non-key parts, has too much water inflow.

At 17:18, three consecutive armor-piercing bombs hit the Nevada, causing the hull of the Nevada battleship to tilt suddenly. Before the captain ordered the water injection to be leveled, a shell located in the No. 1 turret underwater ammunition depot fell off the cannon stand, which eventually triggered the ammunition depot to explode.

After the explosion and sank of the battleship Nevada, the North Sea finally calmed down, and the naval battle between Germany and the United States ended with the destruction of the entire American battleship detachment.

On the evening of the 21st, the setting sun in the North Sea was bleak, and the large warships flying the German naval flag slashed the waves. The German sailors stood wildly near the bridge of the new flagship, looking at Heidi Silem with a drunken red glow on his face, and wanted to speak but stopped.
