The war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Tsarist Russia came to an end. After the peace talks, the signing of a compensation treaty and dividing the boundaries of the country... We will not repeat it again.

And let us move our attention from eastern Europe to western battlefields.

In December last year, France, whose capital Paris was captured, was already in a state of "destroying the country". The established government forces had been beaten by the Germans. The only one that still supported the immortality of France's fire was left to roam all over the country.

guerrillas.

The Germans were so generous that they didn't care about these scabies. What they wanted was not the complete surrender of France, but the port from France to Britain!

This is the real purpose of the Germans.

With these ports, the German Army cooperated with the high seas fleet that came out of its lair to truly threaten Britain.

Britain, France, Britain and France, Jiao Buli Meng, France is the younger brother, Britain is the boss, and only by taking this lead can Germany dominate Europe and even rule the world.

As for France, Germany knows too much. As long as they don’t force them too tightly, the romantic "toxin" in their bodies will occur on their own.

Not worth worrying.

France fell and the British Isles were in crisis. This emergency helped Edward VII.

The domestic situation of the Queen of England was originally inclined to overthrow Edward VII because of the statement, and became more beneficial to the king.

Some people say that Victoria is our queen, but she colludes with the Germans, which is to treason! We should still face reality and unite around the current king. We must never let the Germans ascend to our sacred land!

When Queen Victoria discovered this situation, she quickly informed Emperor William II of Germany and asked him to withdraw his troops and relieve the threat to the British mainland.

However, William II seemed a little stubborn. He felt that this was the best time to defeat Britain and seize its maritime overlordship, so he refused Queen Victoria's request without hesitation.

Almost at the same time as the Battle of Minsk began, on February 16, the German High Seas Fleet and the British Royal Fleet met near the Sylee Islands west of the English Channel.

The fire broke out at the touch.

According to statistics, the two sides invested more than 300 warships, including the main iron armored battleships, 42 British and 66 German!

It is known in history as the "Sili Sea Battle".

The Battle of Silly was indeed sharp. The high seas fleet, which had been frustrated in history for a lifetime, showed its reputation as a "population" spirit. As soon as it came into contact, it launched a desperate offensive against the British Royal Fleet.

On the part of the British Navy, because they were kidnapped by Clayhall, they were extremely limited in strength, so they were undoubtedly defeated by the German high seas fleet at the beginning of the naval battle.

With modern naval battles with long-range artillery fire, the addition of an additional battleship is not simply a "plus one" on the number.

For example, although there is only one warship between five and four ships, after the battle, it is very likely that the winning side has three warships left. The defeated side will be wiped out.

This formula is to subtract the square of five by four by the square and then open the root number.

Therefore, the German Navy has twenty-four additional battleships, which is a great advantage!

Perhaps after a battle, you will not be hurt at all, but the other party will not leave any armor.

However, don't underestimate the British Navy's hundreds of years of heritage.

Although their morale is low, their professionalism is not lost at all.

The harsh situation of the enemy and us is so different in front of them. They are very wise in their hearts.

Seeing that the crisis of destruction was approaching, the commander-in-chief of the British Atlantic Fleet (the supreme commander of the Royal Fleet) immediately made a decision and activated the "Death Order"!

The so-called death order is a special order executed when the British Navy is on the front line of life and death!

Order to die with the enemy!

When the death order was issued, the British army first pretended to escape, and took advantage of their familiarity with nearby ocean currents to quickly distance the distance between warships and warships in the German high seas fleet.

Then, the British warships were divided into six small columns, advancing in each direction, cutting and encircling some of the German warships that were entering deep.

After the siege, the British army did not use artillery attacks, but instead adopted the most direct offensive method: one-on-one collision, and exchange one of our own warships for the other!

One life for another!

That's right, as mentioned earlier, whenever there is one more warship on one side, the combat power it generates will double in square form.

Then, if the British army, who are at a disadvantage in the number of warships, exchange one for one and the German army, the one who earns will be Britain.

Moreover, there are at least two benefits to implementing the one-for-one ‘Perishment Order’.

First, the speed of destroying enemy ships should be faster than bombarded with shells, which can save time;

Second, the warships used to die with the enemy can be chosen by themselves. The other side is a battleship, and one side exchanges one torpedo boat... Even if two are exchanged, it is quite worth it.

This tactic was unheard of by the German Navy. Soon, the surrounded squad was collided by dozens of desperate British warships, and suddenly... the explosion sounded throughout the sea.

In just three minutes, six German battleships that had entered deep into the deep were sunk, while the British lost only one battleship and thirteen inferior battleships.

Such a loss-making ratio is usually enough to become a great victory worth boasting for ten years, but now, this result is certainly gratifying, but it is still not enough for the British army.

The Germans lost the squad in the forefront, but also gained insight into the British army's "death battle method".

So, the German high seas fleet immediately stopped radicalizing and conveyed orders, placed the spacing between the two battleships, and then covered the surrounding area with inferior warships as buffer zones for defensive collisions.

The Germans knew that the enemy who had been high above for hundreds of years was going to fight to the death, and they put down their figure and fought to the death!

If you are not careful, you may encounter a "Waterloo" at sea.

However, even though the Germans responded quickly enough, the British secretly practiced the "death order" for more than a hundred years?

Looking upward, it is probably a product left over from Britain and the Spanish Invincible Armada for world maritime hegemony.

It will be updated every ten years, in order to prevent the death order from being in danger and prevent the death order from being in use when the British Navy is in danger!

This is not the case. The Germans' actions of stopping chasing are also expected by the "Dareful Tactics".

At this time, the role of the Six Path British Navy Column appeared.

They quickly seized favorable terrain and launched bombardment on the German fleet.

The target of the attack this time bombardment was not a huge battleship, but a group of second-class warships in the German Navy that were a little dizzy by the tide order!

Without the protection and deterrence of battleships, these inferior warships have become living targets for British battleships!

Boom boom boom boom!

The results of the battle were remarkable, but when it fell on the German Navy, it was a tragic elegy.

In just half an hour, the British Navy's Six-Path Columns burst into shells like they didn't have any capital. Dozens of German sub-level warships were shot in the blink of an eye.

Flames and black smoke soared into the sky, and the water columns rose one after another. The blood dyed the boiling sea water red.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the German battleship were red in their eyes, and they immediately wanted to fight back, but unfortunately their hull was too big and it was inconvenient to turn. By the time the barrel was adjusted, the British bombardment had already ended.

After firing the cannon, the six small columns patted their butts and left.

With such a burst of artillery fire alone, the German army's second-class warships lost more than forty, and the death toll was even more immeasurable.

Even the Germans who suffered a great loss seemed to have lost their calmness at this time. They gave up the strategy of adjusting the distance and maintaining the formation of the main battleship. The nearest battleships rushed out with enough power.

Take revenge!

But this move was exactly what the British army wanted. Soon, another perfect encirclement and cutting appeared. These rash German battleships were once again savagely destroyed by British warships several times their size.

At this point, the British Navy's "Perishment of Death" achieved unprecedented success. In contrast, after the German Navy suffered repeated blows, it calmed down like a basin of cold water.

Faced with the British's unreasonable suicide collision, the Germans finally cheered up and stopped advancing. Instead, they kept a distance from the other party and greeted the other party with shells.

However, this step still fell into the expectations of the British army's "Death Order".

Some British warships were separated to cruising quickly and attract fire. They also waited for an opportunity to crash into the German warships, forcing them to slow down.

The other part turns around, splits the waves and retreats towards the local area.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not have to worry about burning firewood. The withdrawn British warships are the last force to defend the British mainland. After they return to Hong Kong, they must cooperate with the turrets on the shore to resist the subsequent crazy attack of the German Navy.

The Battle of Silly lasted for ten hours. In the end, the British army fled ten main battleships, and the total number of warships lost exceeded one hundred.

On the other hand, the German high seas fleet did not get much advantage. They lost a total of twenty-four battleships, and eighty-three second-class battleships.

It can be said that the Battle of Silly is the most tragic naval battle of this century, and it is also the naval battle with the highest level and greatest damage in modern naval battles.

After this battle, the German high seas fleet completely grabbed the British estuary, while the British navy was severely injured and could only stick to the local area and try its best to delay the German army's landing.

It was actually very lucky that the British army had achieved such results.

Thanks to the "Death Order", they sank at least ten more German battleships than conventional tactics, greatly narrowing the gap in troops between the two sides, which also made it a reality to guard the local area and prevent the German army from landing in Britain in a short time.

However, the British people do not think so. They only know that the invincible and omnipotent royal navy has been defeated in the past few hundred years. They were defeated by the Germans at sea, and their invincible halo was removed. And next, all Britain has

Danger of being occupied by the Germans!

Those who do not understand military affairs, or who know a little but still pretend not to understand, act one after another, demand that Edward VII abdicate immediately, and ask him to go to the German Emperor William II to negotiate, and end the wrong war as soon as possible!

Of course, there are also some who are firm royalists who take to the streets and call on the people of Britain to unite and not to fear the German army.

They require factories across the country to work overtime now, rushing to build and deliver bullets, shells and fast boats that can be used for suicide collisions...

After February 16, the UK was clearly divided into the above two proposition factions.

Due to the failure of the Battle of Silly, the voices against King Edward had a certain advantage.

The people of Britain are eagerly looking forward to the return of the Queen.

When the Queen was there, how could we British have suffered such pain?

The world's largest naval power was actually blocked by someone else's ship at the door!
