"If there is really a person who should be buried with the warships of the Great Fleet, then this person should be me! All the others who can survive should continue to be loyal to the Royal Navy! So, take Lieutenant General Bernie away for me! You can die under the German shells, but you cannot commit suicide!" Jericho ordered loudly.

Although Thomas had no life worries at this time, he was also under tremendous pressure. He raised his telescope from time to time and looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of other main ships of the large fleet. However, so far, he still did not wait for the expected reinforcements.

"Telector sent by Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General Duff." A British officer walked forward and sent a telegram he had just received before Thomas.

"Damn it! I would have crushed Hippel if I had known this!" The angry Thomas threw the telegram to the ground! It turned out that some of the remaining battleships of the British Fleet had recovered their combat effectiveness. When they were about to come to support, the two remaining battlecruisers of the Hippel fleet and the two battleships of the German Fourth Battleship Squadron had also returned to the battlefield. The remaining British fleet commanded by Lieutenant General Stedi was fighting with the four British fleets commanded by Shippel. Judging from the current situation, even if the Stedi fleet had the advantage, they could still not leave Hippel and support Thomas.

Let's go back 20 minutes ago and see the scene of another battlefield in this naval battle when the main force of the high seas fleet commanded by Ruprecht fought with the elite of the large fleet!

"What's the situation with each ship now?" Lieutenant General Stedy, commander of the British Third Battleship Squadron, asked anxiously.

"The flagship Orion is in good condition. We still have 6 main guns that can be used. The Monarch is in the best condition. There are 7 main guns on it, and the Conqueror is also in good condition. There are 4 main guns on it. The main guns on Lieutenant General Duff's flagship have been completely destroyed!" An officer reported.

"Bon Bow has tried his best, and it is useless for him to stay on the battlefield. Lieutenant General Duff, you are the commander appointed by General Jericho. Do you have any suggestions at this time?" Lieutenant General Stedy asked.

Originally, Lieutenant General Duff was preparing to go to the last battleship of his fleet, but the bad condition of the Benbao had already made him lose the qualification to become a flagship. Therefore, after hesitation, Lieutenant General Duff decided to come to the relatively good Orion, and Lieutenant General Stedy also accepted Duff and his group and expressed his willingness to hand over the command to the other party.

"Okay, let Benbao and some seriously damaged warships take the wounded to evacuate first. I don't know how the situation of General Gonte's fourth battleship squadron is." Lieutenant General Duff asked.

"The situation of King George V of England is very good, and there are 8 artillery available. The situation of the Magnificent and Reckless is OK. At the beginning, the German fleet actually focused its main firepower on the Fifth Battleship Squadron. In addition to the Collingwood, the situation of the St. Vincent and the Avant-garde was also not optimistic. There are a lot of water inflows, and there are some problems with the power system. As for the Fearless, the situation is even worse. He has fallen behind in the battle just now." Lieutenant General Stedy said.

"Give power to the Fearless, tell him that he can choose to evacuate, let the St. Vincent and the Avant-garde rest first, and then participate in the war as appropriate. All the remaining warships gather together, and we will support the main force." General Duff said after sorting out the battlefield situation.

At this time, the main fleets of both sides re-engage in battleships, with a speed of around 17 knots. If he wanted to catch up with this battle, he would obviously keep the fleet at a high speed. The Fearless had fallen behind and didn't know where to lose... The situation is urgent now, and it is obviously impossible to wait for St. Vincent and the Forward. As for Ben Bao? The seriously damaged warships naturally cannot participate in the battle again, and there is not even a useful main gun... And from the bottom of Duff's heart, he really doesn't want his fleet to be wiped out!

But even so, Lieutenant General Duff still gathered a fleet with considerable combat power! 4 super fearless ships and 2 dreadnoughts! If they can successfully enter the battlefield, the situation against the battle is definitely huge! After all, no matter how strong Bavaria is, they have been fighting for more than two hours. Even if the hull is not damaged much, there will be many shells left, right?

Opposite them, the Hippel fleet also completed the preparation again. The two Moltke-class battleships were actually very lucky in the battle just now, because the British first targeted Von der Tinn, and then Moltke. Hippel's Goben and Seedritz were not killed by cannons due to their location and smoke. Although they were shot a lot, their firepower was preserved intact. Both battleships had 6 main guns to use.

After completing the fire extinguishing and self-rescue, the Hippel fleet did not choose to support the main fleet, but sailed towards two damaged Helgolan-class battleships and helped them drive away the British destroyers who wanted to attack.

"General, this is a telegram from the Bavaria. The headquarters has agreed to incorporate the remaining Helgolan and Oldenburg of the Fourth Battleship Squadron into our battle sequence, but Thuringian was damaged a little and could no longer keep up with the speed." said an officer.

"Very good. The Fourth Battleship Squadron reports on the situation and then sends a report to the flagship, saying that the Hiper Fleet will do its best to block the opponent's reinforcement fleet." Hiper thought for a while and said.

Hippel had his own ideas. Just now, he roughly sorted out the situation of the squadrons of each side. The British Second Battleship Detachment, the target of the target, was already completely wiped out. The third Battleship Detachment was sunk by one. The other battleships were in general. After all, the subsequent Bavarian-class battleships participated in actual combat after they entered service, and their hits and levels were a little different. As for the British Fourth Fleet, it should be considered the best situation, because at the beginning, they fought with more and less. They were still facing the weakest battleships in the German fleet. The fifth battleship was a little worse because the warships were too old and the quality of the personnel were poor, so they were a little injured by the German fleet. Various faults caused by aging were also troublesome. In short, the remaining combat power was not high.

So, Hippel probably estimated that the other party should be able to mobilize 5 to 7 warships in a short time! There will be 3 to 4 super-dreadnoughts. Overall, Hippel's estimate is relatively accurate!
