The fires of the large-caliber artillery were constantly shining. Each round of shells fell was a disaster for the British. They could see their homes in the distance, and even torpedo boats and destroyers coming to the reception. But soon, under the attack of the German light cruisers and destroyers, after throwing away three destroyers, the British support fleet was forced to retreat. Under the suppression and attack of crossfire, British auxiliary cruisers were turned into piles of ruins floating on the sea. No one knew how many British naval officers and soldiers died in the last moment, but looking at the sea gradually dyed with blood, almost everyone could feel the cold cruelty and madness in the war!&1t;/p>

When the last auxiliary cruiser turned into a rising fireball in the volley of Blüchel and Goben, the cannon sound that lasted for more than 4 hours on the sea finally subsided, and everything was over. The 10th cruiser detachment used by the British to blockade lost twelve auxiliary cruisers in just a few hours! 8 other ships, including trawlers, and 4 armored cruisers.&1t;/p>

With the losses of these warships, the Royal Navy also paid tens of thousands of casualties, and it is relatively small compared to ordinary deaths. This time, almost all the so-called casualties were deaths. After all, if no one rescued people who fell into the sea, it would be unlikely to swim back to the shore. Although it is still autumn, at night, the water temperature in the North Sea is enough to make a person lose his heat quickly and then disappear from the sea forever.&1t;/p>

In this battle, the German fleet suffered very limited losses, only four destroyers, and the number of people killed in battle was just over 50 years old. The only surprise to Hippel was that one of the destroyers was actually sunk by a submarine, and a British submarine could actually die and move high. This really shocked Hippel.&1t;/p>

"From now on, from the west to the Shetland Islands and east to the war zone on the Norwegian coast, there will be no more mercy or forgiveness. The only thing left is to die!" Looking at the turbulent sea surface, Hippel sighed. It was he who opened this head, but he did not regret it.&1t;/p>

Is war? Especially wars related to national destiny, the focus is on eye for eye for eye for tooth. When the British were in the first day of the lunar calendar, then don’t blame Germany for fifteenth. Everyone is for blockade and anti-blockdown. What is the difference between the Germans using submarines and the British using auxiliary cruisers? If they fail, everything will be over. After victory, who will be confused about these issues? The winner recalls the previous decision and will give a thumbs up for themselves, while the losers will only sulk in a dark corner even if they are angry. That’s all!&1t;/p>

Hippel looked up at the sky, looked at the clock on the wall again. It was already 4 pm, so it was time to clean up and prepare to flash people. After all, the entire German fleet is now scattered in the sea area of ​​thousands of square kilometers, and it will take some time for the fleet to re-converge. It has been done well today. If there is a problem at the end, it will be more than worth the loss.&1t;/p>

Hippel immediately ordered all the participating warships to regroup as the commander of the fleet, and then formed a formation to go home. An hour later, familiar figures appeared in Hippel's vision, the Goben battlecruiser, von der Tinn, and Blüchel. They are now like when they first came out, without even a layer of paint. Such a battle is really good.&1t;/p>

Then there were several other light cruisers and a team of destroyers. These warships gradually surrounded them like servants patrolling beside the God of War. Because they were attacked by submarines before, Hippel was still very serious in the end. All the main battleships were organized, and the light cruisers opened the way for 1,000 meters, and the destroyers were divided into two parts to guard both sides of the main battleship. When the entire fleet returned, it also took anti-submarine routes, constantly changing its course, making it impossible for the submarine to lock its position.&1t;/p>

"Our fleet seems to be a little bigger..." Looking at the huge figures following behind the fleet, Hippel couldn't help but frown. Among them, Hippel knew the big ship that was the first. Isn't this the William Emperor of the year? I've been here! The two ships behind are also somewhat similar in appearance, but I can't remember it.&1t;/p>

What Hippel didn't expect was that just today, several German cruise ships were carrying a large amount of cargo passing through the North Sea. It was impossible to say that it was luck. These large high-speed cruise ships were all solo passengers on the sea. They relied on high and high to travel between the oceans to leave all the guys who were not as good as it. Now, they actually went to the North Sea blockade line in groups, and it was impossible to say that there was no trick!&1t;/p>

"It seems that another hidden task of our fleet is to help these warships smuggle over." Hippel said helplessly. There were 8 large transport ships back with the fleet, and 4 of them had their flags hanging on the Bavarian Kingdom at this time. Needless to ask, they must be ships from the Bavarian Kingdom. This plan was formulated by the prince. The meaning behind this is worth considering......&1t;/p>

"By the way, I telegram to Seedritz, and said, on behalf of the German High Seas Fleet, I wish him a smooth journey and a happy return!" Hippel thought for a while and said.&1t;/p>

All warships were evacuated, except for the battlecruiser of the USS Cedritz! Colonel Eidman finally decided to implement the previous plan and stayed alone at the entrances of the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea to continue hunting the auxiliary cruisers. Before this, Hippel had contacted Colonel Eidman many times and said that the plan was not made public and Colonel Eidman could cancel it at any time without worrying about reputation damage.&1t;/p>

"We have torn the chains imposed on our necks by the British, but it is not enough! The British will definitely try to restore this blockade. We want to leave a profound lesson for the British. I want them to feel fearful when they appear in the waters between the Shetland Islands and the Norwegian coast! We must take advantage of the unprecedented weakening of the large fleet to open up the route to the country. As the best ship and fastest battleship in the entire German fleet, I think the USS Cedritz has the responsibility to carry out this mission!" Colonel Eidman said.&1t;/p>

Hippel finally agreed to the latter's plan and left behind the best light cruiser in the entire fleet to accompany the Seedritz to fight, which was the beginning of a new legend. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.&1t;/p>
