On the afternoon of November 14th, 1914, a German fleet raided the port of the British Empire and sent marines to the British Isles.
November was a painful time. After the legendary swordsman’s bloody army was in full swing, the northern part of France stopped fighting on two fronts. The Germans had reason to panic about the anxious war situation. However, the gossip from the clerk of the Imperial Navy headquarters quickly spread all over the streets of Berlin. It may not be a long drought, but it is enough to reassure people.
In front of the Brandenburg gate in the old city, in the summer of parliament, in the private club of the Croatian nobles and by the barbecue of the civilians, Berliners carefully exchanged their vulgar views on the navy, the ocean and the naval battle in groups of three.
Yeah, they don’t know about the navy, and they don’t know about the unified war of the marine empire. The fiasco at sea made them realize that the feast of the navy in the important imperialist era made them determined to build a powerful navy. It took the Germans more than ten years to build an ocean fleet.
Since its birth, the ocean fleet has faced a huge monster. There are countless shipyards, the most experienced sailors, the most abundant and the best naval academy. What about Germany? The Germans didn’t understand the ocean and hastily built an iron fleet. However, they didn’t know the future of the ocean fleet, and they didn’t know where the brave soldiers went until one day they didn’t pay attention to the submarine’s repeated exploits. In the deep part of Helgolan Bay, a German sailor named Heidi Selim School was desolate. korol closed the Black Sea, and created a young man who didn’t lose the army’s pride and rushed to the sky. Harry Chilostoft did something that the German nation couldn’t even think about.
The shelling of British ports landed in Britain, and the retreat of the Romans and the entry of William of the Netherlands into Britain have been at war for hundreds of years. The British island was trampled by the Germans wantonly, and the German land was boiling with eagerness to win.
The name Heidi Silym reappears in the German field of vision. In 1997, from Schleswig-Herstein, a 19-year-old young man, Kiel Naval Academy, the "On Asymmetric Warfare in the Battleship Age" was launched, but it was also criticized by the high-level science fiction of the Admiralty for lack of data to support logical argumentation. In the summer of 19 years, the conservative member of the Young People’s Congress, the First Navy Expansion Act, regarded him as a hero army by the navy, the emperor and the emerging industrial and commercial class, while the landlord jumped on his feet and cursed the fishermen who ruined the German atmosphere and unified the fishermen. In 19 years, the young man disappeared from Kiel Shipyard, the Baltic Sea Reserve Fleet of the Far East Qing Empire, the German East African Marine Corps was in turmoil, but the Balkans were not in the sight of the Germans until one day they were overwhelmed by the royal navy’s prestigious reputation and regarded the rich North Sea as a dangerous road. The Germans woke up with a wonderful submarine ambush and were shocked by the fog in Helgolan Bay. They exclaimed that the young man who had been wanton in Wang Yang had come back for 20 years, and the years had not only gone by, but also washed away the lead from the soul to the outside. Heidi Selim had become a German.
On November 14th, the most outstanding commander of the younger generation, David Betty, led five warships to patrol south to intercept and return to the West Lyme Fleet. The news spread along the River, which is no longer clear, and along the Bavarian Valley, which is as warm as spring, and along the vast Danzig Plain, it swept all over the Kiel Shipyard in Germany, and Blunt threw away his inferior cigarettes and cursed the British shame. The Redstone country villa was dressed in white, and Catherine accidentally broke the clay figurine given to her by Heidi Selim. The remote Baltic Sea Danzig Bay excited the sailors of the German warship to shout "invincible Ares"; War-torn France’s Marne province, weary soldiers looked up at the North Sea and waited for the glory of the German nation.
The future of the German Navy will be the rich and magnificent sea area in Dogel Shazhou on November 14th. Please keep that genius!
On the afternoon of November 14th, 1914, a German fleet raided the port of the British Empire and sent marines to the British Isles.
A man with a sea soul in his bones regards the ocean as life. He has a big fleet, a maritime nation, a steaming day in the ascendant. Although the history is unified, he dares to explore the ocean. He has a world’s second ocean fleet, and the vast North Sea can’t cut them off. However, in the end, the enemy is full of accidents and accidental fate. On the 4 th of the month, the wheels were fought.
Fear of the ship, Yunbeihai, is destined to become a killing battlefield after all. Is Britain defending its honor or is the Germans overthrowing the old kingdom? On March 23rd, Ziher Golan Bay was full of amazing experiences. September and January were long and suffocating, waiting for the decisive battle of the big ship and giant gun that was highly anticipated in November!
The Hampton naval base in the United States put aside the table to bake bread and it was cold. Major General Hugh Rodman 1 looked at the chart of the North Sea and frowned. Alexander vasilyevich-kolchak, the war minister of the Baltic Fleet in the cold water bath in the port of Ribava, Russia, was stunned for a moment and then ran barefoot towards the fleet newspaper office; On the day of Sato Takazo, Major General No.3 cruiser, the bridge looked at the morning light, and the color on his brow could not be dispersed.
In the night, Heidi Selim, the undefeated Ares in the North Sea, is leading the fleet back to the Sea Cavalry. David Betty is leading a patrol fleet to intercept in the south. At the moment, the eyes of the world are on the North Sea, where a ship-fearing era is about to play. First, for the world sailors who have no experience in the battle line battle in the ship-fearing era, the two world’s most powerful fleets in the North Sea are boundless in the night, and every tactical move and command loss will become valuable naval experience and lessons. The mobilization of flint and the rapid reinforcement of the two main fleets are of great reference significance. For politicians who are responsible for their respective countries and nationalities, the British blockade war and the German breakout war will have a subtle impact on the world situation. For a neutral country, it is a rare strategic genius of the Royal Navy on the one hand and the German Navy on the other. Young people are similar to medieval European knights, and a duel is about to start. Whether it is a good life or a hero, appreciate each other, whose white clothes are fluttering and wonderful, is worth talking about after dinner!
On November 14th, the eyes of the world focused on the North Sea!
1 Hugh Rodman, this gentleman is the commander of the ninth Battleship Sub-fleet of Dabai Fleet. After the United States entered the war, he led his fleet, the Sixth Battleship Fleet, to escort.
Alexander vasilyevich-kolchak was commander of the Black Sea Fleet, commander-in-chief of the White Army in the Soviet era, democratic fighter in the western world, and head of the white bandits in the red country.
3 Sato Takazo, commander of the Second Special Fleet of Japan, led two cruisers, Ishii and Izumo, and the 10th, 11th and 15th destroyer detachments to protect the carrier port in Malta in the Mediterranean during World War I.

On the morning of November 15th, Dogel Shoal in Beihai.
Light gray morning fog, choking smoke and blood smell are still cloudy and quiet. The ocean is full of burning oil, small pieces of hull wreckage, floating clothes, waste paper and the bodies of sailors from both sides.
At 22: 00 on the 14th, two large-scale fleets left the battlefield to support the fleet, and the star exchange of fire ended at around 23: 00. The dust settled in Dogel sandbar. In the early morning of the next day, several British old torpedo boats and German old Maibray boats could not find the ocean surface of Dogel Shoal. After the magnificent taste, hundreds of tons of destroyers with chicken feathers smashed the sampan. The sailors leaned forward to salvage the bodies of sailors belonging to their respective countries, and then hurriedly wrapped in gray shroud to experience the darkness, cruelty and dawn in Lebanon.
Eating seabirds in the morning and coming to this sea area with the smell of death is not in line with the sadness and dignity of sailors. It is triumphant to set up the mast of torpedo boats and mine boats while sailors are not paying attention.
The carelessness of the two * * ships has accelerated the salvage. Occasionally, when the two * * ships meet, the abuse of "arshlh" and "* *" is endless.
And never die. The sailors of the two countries can’t understand each other’s language. When the air blows against each other, a terrible storm is brewing around the world and is about to detonate!
At noon on November 15th, the mist has cleared away, and it happened that a blue-gray painted L-shaped Led Zeppelin was on alert in Helgolan Bay.
In 19 years, Ferdinand-Zeppelin designed and manufactured the rigid airship for the first time. Due to the adoption of a structurally complete skeleton to maintain the shape of the airbag and the good flight performance of the airship powered by the piston engine, Led Zeppelin finally entered the sight of the Imperial Navy and Army, and Wang Haidi came up with the concept of combat airship a year ago.
The concept of otaku combat airship leads the German airship to develop smoothly and outshine others. Before the First World War, Zeppelin Company introduced the navy L-type airship, the army Z-type airship and the lz-type airship. These airships can carry out low-intensity support operations with machine guns and small bombs, and can also detect troops. The weight of 4 tons can also make airships gorgeous and transform into transportation forces.
Since the outbreak of World War I, the navy has been equipped with more than three Led Zeppelin ships. It is these airships that support and ensure that even though the ocean fleet is grounded, German light ships are still rampant in the North Sea.
At lunch, with bacon sausage in his mouth and white bread in his hand, the flying soldiers gathered around to have a small talk about last night’s uncertain naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel. The fate of the West Lyme Fleet prayed. Of course, the flying soldiers were entangled in the topic of Germany and Italy. In a corner, the old man, housewife, petty official and business tycoon pricked up their ears and held their breath to listen to the good news or … bad news in the depths of the North Sea.
Klopp, a flying soldier on duty after lunch, interrupted a few words at first, but his attention was quickly attracted by the vast stretch of Helgolan Bay outside the observation hole. His black eyes contracted sharply and his lips began to tremble.
"Is the ocean fleet! They are back! " Klopp pick telescope skimming, pointing to the observation hole shouted
The hungry flying soldiers panicked, and a crumb got into the respiratory tract and immediately leaned over and coughed violently for a long time before they dared to look up. The flying soldiers looked at each other with a dignified expression.
On November 14th, the evening gossip spread all over the streets of Germany. David Betty led the first world war patrol fleet to intercept and return to the south. John Jellicoe led the main force of the large fleet and then tried to strangle the German genius. Although no one wanted Major General Heidi Selim to become Nelson’s second, he was outnumbered, which made this group of honest German Hans unable to fabricate reasonable lies to comfort himself.
"Is the West Lyme Fleet back?" The flying soldiers were too nervous to see the casualties of the ocean fleet and asked klopp little
"Maybe the light is too dazzling …" klopp, who was only 19 years old, rubbed his eyes and bit his lips. "I can’t see blucher. I can’t see von de Tann …"
The roar of the piston engine seems to be isolated, like the sound of another world. The flying soldiers are in a trance and almost bite their silver teeth.
What an old ship blucher sank. It was once affectionately turned into blucher the Great by sailors. It once made the British enemy and tirelessly patrol the land! Von de Tann sank. It was the first German warship, and its performance was no less than that of a lion-class warship equipped with 343 main guns. The old captain, Max Hahn, was also respected, but they were buried in the shallow seabed of the North Sea for just over an hour overnight, and the lighthouse of Port William and the lock of Kiel Canal were never seen again.
"Mao Qi? ！” Lost for a long time, the flying soldier remembered that there was also a war patrol and a Heidi Selim.
In front of the airship, the ocean fleet’s smoke billowed and the flag was hunting, and the Mao Qi was obviously an exception. Because of the water in the engine room, the Mao Qi almost lost power. Four doors of the 35 mm main turret were completely destroyed into an unguarded warship floor building. Except for the narrow commander tower, there was almost no complete place, which was particularly tragic. Wang Yang was less than half a meter away from the main deck of the Mao Qi. The waves rampaged and the main deck was devastated. After the battle in Dogel sandbar, the Mao Qi was hit hard, just like the semi-submersible dock Luzov of William Shipyard was towed to the William Shipyard.
"Although the Mao Qi is still teetering, it is not sinking!" Klopp left his head and waved his arm. "Long live the unsinkable ship! Long live undefeated Ares! Long live Germany! "
Scarpa Bay, Orkney Islands, cold and remote in northern Scotland.
In order to avoid the German U-boats and camouflage mine-laying ships attacking the British Scarpa Bay, a steel defense line consisting of light patrol, destroyers, trawlers, airships and anti-submarine nets was built.
In the south of the defense line, a British Admiralty registered and supported a warship trawler patrol boat. Volunteer sailors and naval officers and men lined up to eat on the deck and rushed over to take over the shift. They either took the helm without a trace of meat and greasy stomach or sat in front of the newspaper machine with a little lazy afternoon tiredness or climbed the mast nimbly to look in the direction of Dogel Shoal.
At 14: 23, several smoke columns appeared in the east-south direction. The smoke columns were not like the general merchant ships, and they were somewhat sparse.
"Big fleet! The big fleet has returned! "
David Betty led five war cruises and three dreaded ships in the early morning, followed by South John Jellicoe, who led the main force of the big fleet in the early morning. After a late fermentation, the news has spread all over the Orkney Islands and spread to the center of the sunset empire. When David Betty cheered on the British island, he paid attention to gentlemanly manners. The British people showed their love and hatred to young people without delay, and the trawlers in the southern Orkney Islands shared the same fate with their compatriots.
Sailors and volunteers were so excited that they couldn’t wait to jump off the mast or the top of the deck and wait for the hero to return to victory and defeat. They didn’t even consider the possibility.
Although Heidi Selim’s personal ability is outstanding, he has two patrol ships and a large armored ship, while the South Interception First Patrol Fleet has five patrol ships and three dreaded ships, not to mention the command ability of the "sea cavalry" of the British Empire, which is not lost to the Germans at all!
The first battleship is divided into four dreaded ships, the first patrol fleet is composed of six armored cruisers, the third patrol fleet is composed of six light cruisers, and the first and second destroyer fleets are composed of 32 destroyers. From the depths of the North Sea, the trawler can’t help but play the Z-flag symbolizing victory and glory and the semaphore "Welcome back".
Avant-garde fleet looks after ants in their spare time, and trawlers pass through this sea area in darkness, chopping waves at Scarpa Bay.
"I lost the battle …" I walked away with a ridiculous, irrational and Arabian nights idea, like an evil cancer. These sailors teased each other and said the enduring yellow jokes among the sailors and waited for the main force of the big fleet.
At 14: 42, the main force of the big fleet opened up. Three dreaded ships, the Duke of Iron Marboro, Bao and the Emperor of India, took the lead in leaping into the eyes of sailors, followed by six armored cruisers and six light cruisers supporting the second fleet. David Betty’s first battle patrol fleet finally slowly opened up.
The waterline has holes and cracks in the main armor, dazzling plugging plugs in the weak armor of the bow and stern, riddled buildings, crumbling bridges and main masts, and traces of smoke and fire. The faltering Lion, the Tiger, and the patrol dragged towards Scarpa Bay, and the Royal Princess was slightly injured. The deck was in a mess, followed by the Monarch and the Levator.
"The enemy number? What about the Queen Mary? What about Raytheon? " The trawler sailors refused to believe that their eyes were bad, and their premonition was gradually proved to be like a thousand pounds of burden, which made it difficult for them to breathe. So no one would take the lead in opening their mouths, making a creepy silence and making a desperate resistance!
The guard fleet continued to sail into the King George V battleship. It’s still a pity that the trawler sailors have no interest in watching it. At that moment, the joy was buried deep for a long time, and they became fascinated. The sailors dreamed of several endings, but the worst ending was better than two patrol boats and a feared ship sinking. You must know that there are only two patrol boats and a large armored ship in the West Lyme fleet!
"Are we overestimating David Betty or Heidi Selim? It’s unstoppable. Is the strength of the ocean fleet too strong, or is it that the big fleet has become inevitable? Who will save England? ！”
The guard fleet separated a destroyer and approached the trawler. Several officers jumped on the trawler and looked at a group of sad sailors. The destroyer officer’s white face showed an evil smile.
"Brave Royal Navy men, I have to tell you that the West Lyme Fleet’s raid on British soil is an out-and-out conspiracy! Unfortunately, we were ambushed by the main force of the ocean fleet and suffered heavy losses! " The officer waved his arms, sometimes sad and sometimes excited. "But the Queen David Betty Mary and the Raytheon sank at the cost of two war patrols and a quasi-war patrol. The West Lyme fleet repelled the aggressive ocean fleet!"

Chapter Otaku Fleet (6)
"Dogel Shazhou naval battle is perhaps the strangest naval battle in the world. There is no such cult element as plot against, suspicion, mistakes and disorderly warfare throughout this naval battle. Even the naval battle against Ma can’t compare with Dogel Shoal!
Before the war, Major-General Heidi Sillem, a genius of the German navy, made an ambush plan for the sandbar in Dogel. He led two war cruises and a large armored ship to repeatedly attack British ships and threaten the British coastline. The minimum goal was to attract David Betty’s first war patrol fleet to Dogel Shoal, and to join forces with General Franz von hippel’s first reconnaissance fleet, three war cruises and General Reinhard Schell’s third battleship to strangle the battleships together. The highest goal was Jutland-style battle line battle!
It is suspected that this is a German-style plan with precise calculation and rigorous scrutiny.
In order to bypass the "rest conservative" emperor, Edward von capelle, the new Minister of the Navy, and Ingenohl, Commander-in-Chief of the Ocean Fleet, and Haining von Hertzendorf, the general staff of the Navy, jointly directed a wonderful play. By spooking the emperor, they forced him to transfer his treasure to the Baltic Sea far away from the battlefield, and then delayed the tactics to keep the first reconnaissance fleet and the third battleship sub-fleet as far as possible in the North Sea, attracting the British firepower and not letting the big fleet rush to dispatch the Germans. For example, they hid Germany well. Flingher’s war patrol left the already-in-service Luzov in the depths of the Baltic Sea, while Major General Heidi Selim led the seemingly vulnerable decoy fleet to harass the British coastline through routine combat cruises.
Almost at the same time, Lieutenant General David Betty, Heidi Selim’s half-life enemy of the Royal Navy, also made an ambitious ambush plan for Dogel Shoal, which was almost the same as his old friend. He planned Major General Lampard to command the enemy and the Royal Princess to raid Helgolan Bay to attract hippel’s first reconnaissance fleet and annihilate the German patrol fleet without Devlinger class.
Compared with the simple and rude raid plan in Helgolan Bay, this time the British really made some efforts, for example, three hunting class battleships were transferred from the first world war patrol fleet, for example, using Room 4 to detect the German changes
It is inevitable that two highly similar ambush plans and both sides have made their own preparations for the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, will turn into an out-and-out chaos.
However, the accident and confusion are not limited to this. Experts in the history of China’s naval warfare have made an incisive analysis of the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, which is very oriental.
When the British were brewing emotions, Heidi Selim had brazenly launched the initiative.
The raid of the German decoy fleet was a previous success. They shelled Harwich Port and Los tofte Port, sank three destroyers, berthed a submarine, and three auxiliary ships. Twenty-six civilian ships injured Chatham. The light patrol destroyed five coastlines watchtowers, three forts, two oil depots and three military warehouses, causing millions of pounds of property losses to the British people and more than 600 officers and men killed. The British people had an inexplicable panic about the ocean fleet. The German decoy succeeded in attracting the British firepower, making Winston Churchill’s throne as secretary of the navy faltering and insisting on long-distance blockade. John Churchill-
However, the British did not give in easily. Because the U-15 submarine sank, the code of the ocean fleet leaked, and the big fleet had the intelligence advantage. By deciphering the newspaper words, David Betty accurately predicted the Heidi-Sillem Dogel sandbar raid plan, and intercepted the Sillem fleet in the south.
The British have reason to feel confident. According to the intelligence of the naval intelligence department, the newly-launched Devingle class war patrol had to return to the factory to repair the fast battleship of the ocean fleet due to boiler problems. There was only one ship left in the overall situation of the Cedritz war patrol in Jeddah Bay, and it was deciphered as the last straw to overwhelm the camel. Because the German emperor had just transferred the remaining Cedritz and the third battleship fleet to the Baltic Sea.
The British firmly believed in their intelligence superiority, and they paid a great price for it. They rushed to the battlefield before the ocean fleet and sank the Von de Tann patrol Raytheon in high spirits, and then hit the Queen Mary head-on and sent a big meal.
The Germans also fell into a fixed mindset. At about 13: 00, Heidi Selim learned that the first world war patrol fleet was south. He missed the first world war patrol fleet with five warships. In view of the poor artillery fuze and fragile defensive armor of the British, Selim decided to plan before, and he even set the goal of the Dogel sandbar naval battle plan as a decisive battle with big ships and huge guns.
At 1: 22 on the 14th, after a series of plot attacks, suspicions and mistakes, two patrol fleets met unexpectedly and fought in Dogel Shoal full of accidents and unpredictability. "
