    This naval battle that took place at 6:30 in the morning on May 31, 1919 is known as the turning point of this world war.  In this naval battle, the Chinese Navy won the naval battle at a small cost, while the German Navy lost its main force!

    According to subsequent statistics, in this naval battle, the German Navy treated 15 aircraft carriers, 8 of which were sunk on the spot, and the remaining 7 ships, four of which were severely damaged. Two of them were destroyed by the Chinese on their way back to Germany.  The navy submarine discovered it and sank it!  Although the remaining two ships struggled to return to Germany, they also lost the value of repair!  Although the last three ships were not seriously damaged, they also suffered some damage and needed to be returned to the shipyard for repairs.  However, the most serious loss is the loss of the carrier-based aircraft!  The 15 carrier-based air wings were considered to have lost more than 90%, which directly caused the German Navy to lose the ability to continue fighting!  The remaining carrier-based aircraft are no longer enough to support them in continuing to fight the Chinese Navy!  In addition, so many pilots were killed, which directly caused the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force to suffer heavy losses!  The lost aircraft may be replenished, but the personnel are not so easy to replenish!  Compared with army soldiers, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to train a pilot.  And the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the aircraft carrier are even more valuable!  It can be said that this disastrous defeat of the German Navy directly caused their navy to lose the opportunity to challenge the Chinese Navy in this world war!

    In addition to the aircraft carrier, the remaining warships of the German Navy also suffered considerable losses.  Six super battleships were used, four were sunk, and the other two were also severely damaged.  The losses of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers also amounted to hundreds!  The main force of the German Navy was completely annihilated in this naval battle!  This naval battle is so similar to the naval battle in World War I.  The German Navy at that time also wanted to challenge the British Navy and compete for maritime supremacy!  As a result, they were tricked by the British Navy, lost their main force, and never recovered.  This time it finally developed again, but the final result was still the same as last time.  Perhaps, in Chinese terms, the German Navy is not destined to be the overlord of the sea at all!

    Compared with the heavy losses of the German Navy, the losses of the Chinese Navy are much smaller!  Only one aircraft carrier was severely damaged, and the other two aircraft carriers that were slightly damaged only needed to go back to the dock on the island of Ireland for repairs before they could continue to fight!  In the carrier-based aircraft force, the losses of the Chinese Navy were not large. Thousands of fighter planes were dispatched, but less than two hundred were lost in the end. Many of them were killed by the enemy when attacking the surface warships of the German Navy.  Anti-aircraft fire shot down.

    Through this naval battle, the Chinese navy not only consolidated its position as maritime hegemony, but also successfully blocked Germany's sea lanes!  After this naval battle, the main force of the Chinese Navy entered the North Sea and bombed Germany's important western ports. Belgium and northern France controlled by Germany were also within the bombing range!  In order to further curb Germany's naval strength, the Chinese Navy dispatched carrier-based aircraft units to bomb German coastal shipyards, which directly caused a heavy blow to the German shipbuilding industry!

    In addition, the result of this naval battle also directly caused Germany and even other members of the Holy Alliance to have a pessimistic and disappointing attitude.  Within a week of the naval battle, the British government secretly contacted China, hoping to surrender.  Although if you surrender now, you will still inevitably be stabbed by China, but this is much better than having more people die!  After all, on the British battlefield, the British Army is completely at a disadvantage. The Chinese Army, together with the armies of many allies, are slaughtering British youths on the battlefield, and these young people are the pillars of Britain's future!

    In mid-June, King George V of the United Kingdom announced in London that the United Kingdom would formally surrender to China and withdraw from this war!  After Britain surrendered, only Germany and Russia were left in the Holy Alliance to hold on!  The development of the war situation has exceeded everyone's expectations. It seems that China and the Eastern Alliance led by China are not far away from winning the war!

    On the morning of May 31, Kaiser Wilhelm II received a battle report from the Admiralty while he was having breakfast. When he saw that the main force of the German navy had been annihilated, Wilhelm II fainted on the spot.  After the doctor's rescue, although he regained consciousness, he was still very depressed!

    Crown Prince Wilhelm, Prime Minister Hollweger, Foreign Minister Stresemann, War Minister and Chief of General Staff Karl?  Feng?  Marshal B¨¹low, Minister of the Navy Marshal Tirpitz and Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Admiral Schultz came to Gonlu Palace on orders.  However, everyone's faces were very ugly. Apparently they all knew the news of the navy's defeat!  In particular, Prime Minister Hollweger and Foreign Minister Stresemann looked even more desperate!  In their view, this disastrous defeat of the navy undoubtedly declared the defeat of Germany!  In this world war, Germany has obviously??No more ability to defeat China!

    Crown Prince William¡¯s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, as if someone owed him money and hadn¡¯t paid him back!  Before the decisive battle at sea, he, like most others, was full of confidence in the German Navy!  Although he also knew that the strength of the German Navy was much worse than that of the Chinese Navy.  But he firmly believes that God will bless the German Empire, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese and reverse the current unfavorable situation!  However, the final result was still different from what he expected. The Chinese Navy once again used their victory to prove their strong strength!  Once again, the Germans discovered that their challenge was completely reckless!

    Marshal Tirpitz, the German Navy Minister, looked ashamed.  Although he is known as the father of the German Navy, he almost single-handedly established the powerful German Navy!  However, although he established a powerful German navy, he could not lead them to victory. Instead, he was defeated by the enemy time and time again!  This made him very ashamed!  If the German Navy can win, perhaps the situation of this war will be changed!  But now it seems that Germany's failure seems inevitable!

    German War Minister and Chief of General Staff Karl?  Feng?  Marshal Biro was expressionless.  These days, he has been focusing his main attention on the eastern defense line.  As the Chinese Army transfers more and more troops to the front line, this has shown that the time for the Chinese Army to launch a counterattack in Eastern Europe is getting closer!  Although the German Army has deployed three million troops on the plains of Eastern Europe, Russia has also urgently assembled five million troops!  But even he himself can't guarantee whether he can withstand the Chinese Army's attack!  Originally, Karl?  Feng?  Marshal Biro is also looking forward to this navy's counterattack!  If the navy can win, China may be affected and have to invest more energy on other fronts. In this case, the pressure on the German army on the Eastern European plains will be reduced a lot. But now, the German navy has suffered a disastrous defeat!  This seems to indicate that the Chinese Army is about to launch a large-scale counterattack from the Eastern European plains!  After the victory of the Chinese navy, China no longer poses any threat on the European Western Front battlefield. They can concentrate all their strength on the Eastern European plains and fight the final decisive battle with the German and Russian coalition forces!

    The commander-in-chief of the German Air Force, General Schulz, looked ashen!  During this period of time, the German Air Force has been dealing with strategic bombing by the Chinese Air Force.  Although the mass production of the Hurricane V fighter jet has given the German Air Force a weapon capable of dealing with the Chinese Air Force's F11 'Vulture' fighter jet.  But as more and more fighters are lost and more and more pilots are killed in action, the pressure faced by the German Air Force has not weakened at all, but has intensified a lot!  The tragic defeat of the German Navy was undoubtedly worse for the German Air Force!  Previously, the battle for air supremacy on the Western Front was all handed over to the navy!  Now that the navy has suffered a disastrous defeat, the heavy responsibility of protecting the security of the western airspace will definitely fall on the German Air Force!  And with the current strength of the German Air Force, it simply does not have the ability to do all this!  In General Schultz's view, Germany has been completely defeated in this war!

    When William II woke up, his face was a little pale, and his spirit was very depressed, as if he had a serious illness!

    "Your Majesty, I should bear the main responsibility for this disastrous defeat of the Navy. I request to resign as Minister of the Navy!" Marshal Tirpitz said with a face of shame.

    "Marshal, this is not entirely your responsibility! I was too impatient! I asked for a decisive battle with the Chinese before the navy's combat power was fully formed, which led to this tragic defeat!" William II said.  However, now I understand that it seems to be over!

    "The failure of the navy's counterattack has made the empire's current situation even more dangerous. Everyone, tell me, what should we do now?" William II asked.  Although he needs time to rest now, Germany is in a dangerous situation now. How can he have time to rest?

    This time, no one spoke, not even Crown Prince William!  Perhaps, he was also shocked by this disastrous defeat and didn't know what to do!  Previously, Crown Prince William always believed that Germany's strength was no worse than that of China, and that China was just an upstart!  With Germany's foundation and the integration of the strength of the entire Europe, it can completely compete with the upstart China, or even defeat China!  But now, the cruel reality wakes him up!  (To be continued.
