Chapter 888 No Mercy, No Forgiveness 4

The British 10th Cruiser Squadron was caught off guard and was violently attacked by Hipper's fleet. However, because the 10th Cruiser Squadron was performing its tasks in a dispersed manner, the Germans were also conducting their attacks in a dispersed manner, and also because of the gap between the two sides. It was too big, so even if a firefight occurred, it was very short-lived, and the battle was over before the British sent an early warning telegram.

Of course, there are not only British and German warships in this sea area, but also more neutral transport ships heading to the North Sea. This is also one of the busiest waterways in the world. Merchant ships from Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and other countries, as well as German merchant ships heading to the mainland, all have to pass through the North Sea blockade. The crew members of these merchant ships were also able to see this brutal scene. "Stop the ship for inspection." When the auxiliary cruiser Night Owl's guns were aimed at the German camouflaged transport ship Kaiser Wilhelm in the distance, this transport ship was the Kaiser Wilhelm which was launched on May 4, 1897. It was a modified cruise ship. Although it could run at a speed of 22.5 knots when it was built, it is now more than 18 knots. It could have run faster. However, this transport ship with a registered tonnage of 14,349 tons has been improved. It contains a lot of stuff, actually 15,000 tons of cargo, and its full load displacement exceeds 35,000 tons! (To explain, the tonnage of battleships is different from the registered tonnage of merchant ships. For example, the Sea Wolf attack ship, a merchant ship with a registered tonnage of only 5,809 tons, can carry 6,000 tons of coal... )Well, even so, it can be called high speed. But it was a pity that Emperor William had no idea when faced with the first-class dome-armored cruiser of the British Royal Navy in front of him. The former can run at a speed of more than 19 knots. "The other party must have a problem. Prepare to be armed and wait for the ship. If they want to resist, sink them immediately. Three minutes, give them three minutes at most!" the captain of the auxiliary cruiser Night Owl ordered. "It seems we can't run away. Arrange people and prepare to open the sea valve." Captain Simmel, the captain of the Kaiser Wilhelm, ordered that the ship was loaded with a large amount of copper ingots, tungsten ore, tin ore, and other large quantities. Although it is a pity that materials that can be used in war sink into the sea like this, they must not fall into the hands of opponents. Now the British are also cunning. They will no longer approach within a few hundred meters and be intimidated. The two sides are about 5,600 meters apart at this time. Time passes by, leaving really little time for the Kaiser Wilhelm. Running out. However, the British and German ships in the confrontation did not notice that a huge figure appeared near them behind them. On the battlecruiser Vondertann, Lieutenant Colonel Braun looked at the two ships in the distance but fell into deep water. While thinking deeply, "Brother, your blocking position is too good, right?" Looking at the Kaiser Wilhelm in the distance, Lieutenant Colonel Braun couldn't help but said to himself. At this time, the Kaiser Wilhelm Kaiser just blocked part of Von der Tann's field of view, and the Night Owl loomed behind the Kaiser Wilhelm Kaiser. This forced the Von der Tann to give up the idea of ​​using the main gun to solve the opponent's problem from a long distance. We can only get closer. And for the Germans, this is a bit of a waste of time. "Oh God, the British actually sent another battlecruiser to intercept our ship. This is incredible!" When the German sailors on the other side saw the rapidly approaching Vondertann, they actually He immediately thought of him as a British battleship. This made Captain Simmel, who was already feeling desperate, even more determined to issue the order to scuttle. But just before he issued the order, his first officer discovered that something seemed wrong. "This should not be a British ship. There are only 3 main gun turrets on this ship, and no British battleship is arranged like this.

And from the appearance, it looks a bit like our Von der Tann-class battleship... "The first mate said with some uncertainty.

"We are a German warship. Don't send any messages, otherwise we will deal with you the same way we deal with the enemy. "Colonel Braun also felt that the intercepted large ship in front of him looked familiar... After all, as the most famous cruise ship in Germany at that time, its popularity and appearance rate were still very high, so he specially sent it to Emperor Wilhelm the Great The German Navy sent out an internal light signal of the German Navy. After the war, almost all German ocean liner ships that were not killed by the British had German naval personnel stationed there. If he was really one of his own, he should be able to recognize this signal! "God, I have thought about countless possible encounters in this situation, but I never thought that at the doorstep of the British, the main ship of the High Seas Fleet would appear in front of us! "Simmel exclaimed. "Let our crew stand on the ship and send a signal to tell the British that we are willing to accept inspection! We have to buy time for our navy! ""Brother, actually what you need to do most at this time is to give me a shooting position. "After the battle, at the Naval Club in Kiel Port, when Simmel expressed his gratitude to Colonel Braun on behalf of his crew, the latter said... As a battlecruiser officer, Braun thinks so. The opponent only has four 6-inch guns and no torpedoes. In other words, it is impossible to kill the Kaiser Wilhelm in a short time. So, why don't you run away at this time?"No more waiting, prepare to board the ship by force! "When the Night Owl was about to take action, a huge figure suddenly flashed out from behind the Kaiser Wilhelm and startled the British! "Go to hell! Demons who kill women and children! "When the Vondertann suddenly appeared in front of the Night Owl, the distance between the two sides was only 8,000 meters. The nine 12-inch guns and the 6-inch guns on the sides were almost leveled and sprayed out streams of fire snakes. .The instantaneous burst of firepower enveloped the target like a fire net. This was not a fight of the same level at all. It was as easy as a strong lion killing a goat. The result was certain, and the process was absolutely impossible to twists and turns... ..... Well, that's it! "If possible, I hope your ship will return with us. Although it will take some time, it is absolutely safe, and you can also enjoy a game on the North Sea for free. A magnificent epic masterpiece. "After learning about the supplies on board the Kaiser Wilhelm, the battlecruiser Vondertann sent out such a signal. "We originally did not intend to carry such a burden, but the supplies on it are really important. , so we can only reluctantly take them with us. At least before encountering other friendly forces, we must ensure their safety. "Afterwards, Braun explained this way.Three updates today~~~! Here comes the first update~~~!
