Third Reich: I took over power

The Revenge-class battleships and Queen Elizabeth-class battleships of the Empire on which the sun never sets are, after all, old battleships that have been in service for more than 20 years. Although it has been modernized and modified, the defense has been strengthened, the speed has been increased, and the anti-aircraft firepower has been strengthened.

However, the main gun is still the same as that used more than 20 years ago.

The 42-fold caliber 15-inch main gun is undoubtedly inferior to the 50-fold caliber 381 mm main gun of the Caesar Kingdom Navy in terms of armor-piercing capability. At longer ranges, it cannot even penetrate the main armor of the Veneto-class battleship. Of course, except for the command tower armor. The armor of the conning tower of the Veneto-class battleship is only 260 mm.

The main guns of the two Veneto-class battleships are able to penetrate the main armor of the Revenge-class battleships and Queen Elizabeth-class battleships.

Of course, the overall combat effectiveness of the Cayo Dolio and Giulio Caesar battleships in the Kingdom of Caesar is far inferior to the Revenge-class battleships and Queen Elizabeth-class battleships.

The main guns of these two battleships have a caliber of only 320 mm. Compared with the 381 mm main guns, the gap is not small.

Therefore, the two Veneto-class battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar Navy are the well-deserved main force. The other two battleships were just making up the numbers. In other words, it was used to attract the firepower of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The battle was very fierce, and the main guns of the battleships on both sides fired violently.

Heavy shells hit the opponent's battleship hard.

The performance of the two Veneto-class battleships was remarkable. Even though Even at a longer distance, good results can be achieved.

However, the performance of the battleship Caio Durio and the battleship Giulio Caesar is very poor.

This also makes the battlefield appear very strange. Scene.

That is, the two Veneto-class battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar suppressed the two Revenge-class battleships of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. The two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships of the Royal Navy suppressed the battleship Cayo Dolio of the Kingdom of Caesar. and the battleship Giulio Caesar.

The entire naval battle seemed to be evenly matched.

"Order each turret to aim at one point. Our Cayo Doulio and Giulio Caesar were at a disadvantage. Once we are hit or even destroyed, we will have to fight with fewer against many, or even one against two."Admiral Paul's expression was solemn.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Armando nodded.

"boom!"

A 381mm artillery shell was fired from the battleship Littorio and accurately hit the battleship Royal Sovereign. The shell blasted a large hole on its port side, which was fortunately above the waterline, otherwise it would have been enough to cause the battleship Royal Sovereign to pay a heavy price. The cost.

Tens of seconds later, a 381mm shell fired from the Warspite hit the battleship Cayo Dolio. A large hole was blown out on the front deck, and the 1st main turret was stuck and unable to rotate. , unable to aim at the target and almost losing combat effectiveness.

Five minutes later, the Veneto battle achieved a hit. A 381 mm shell hit the rear deck of the battleship Resolution. A big hole was blown out of the rear deck. At the same time, it also destroyed A main gun turret on the aft deck was destroyed, causing the battleship Resolution to lose a quarter of its main guns, which was only equivalent to two-thirds of the Veneto.

But just a few minutes later, the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet returned In color.

The battleship Barham hit the battleship Giulio Caesar. A 381 mm shell easily penetrated the waterline armor of the battleship Giulio Caesar, blasting a large hole and causing a large influx of seawater to the Among the battleships, the situation on the battlefield can be said to be inextricable.

The navy of the Kingdom of Caesar and the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy were almost evenly matched.

However, perhaps the battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar Caio Durio and the battleship Giulio Caesar Because they are too useless, the situation of these two battleships seems to be more dangerous. Once these two battleships are severely damaged or even sunk, the consequences will be unimaginable. The Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet will be able to have an advantage in the number of capital ships..

Even if the performance of the Veneto-class battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar is very advanced and stronger than the Revenge-class battleships and Queen Elizabeth-class battleships of the Royal Navy. However, if it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, I am afraid that it will still be defeated in the end. Even, He had to withdraw from the battle in embarrassment.

On the battleship USS Resolution, Lieutenant General George had a smile on his face.

Although the battleship USS Resolution had been suppressed by the enemy and was injured. However, Lieutenant General George did not seem to care at all.

"Let Warspite and Barham increase their attack intensity. It can further shorten the combat distance. Be sure to kill the two old battleships of Caesar Kingdom in the shortest possible time. When the time comes, we will focus on besieging the two new battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar and win this naval battle!" Lieutenant General George ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Rear Admiral Lambert nodded repeatedly.

The current situation seems to be gradually more favorable to the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

The balance of victory has gradually tilted towards them.

On the other hand, the atmosphere on the Caesar Kingdom Navy side has become tense.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the situation of the Cayo Dolio and the Giulio Caesar is very bad, they are almost unable to hold on. If this continues, they will probably be dealt with soon. By then, the situation will be very unfavorable to us."Lieutenant General Armando reminded.

Admiral Paul's face was very ugly. Originally, he thought that with the two Veneto-class battleships in service this time, they would be able to defeat the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

However, the current situation has changed for them. It was very unfavorable.

In the last naval battle, they lost two battleships, and the remaining two battleships also suffered heavy damage. They had to escape in embarrassment under the cover of the air force.

Will they make the same mistake again this time?

"Order the Veneto and Littorio to close the fighting distance and inflict as much damage as possible or even kill the two Revenge-class battleships of the Royal Navy!"Admiral Paul ordered with a dark face.

If they can kill the two Revenge-class battleships of the Royal Navy first, even if they severely damage them and make them lose their combat effectiveness, then the situation will not be so bad that it is unfavorable to them.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Armando replied

"Damn it, if the other two Veneto-class battleships could be put into service, they wouldn't be so embarrassed!"Admiral Paul couldn't help but curse._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
