"Why haven't you come yet, the battle on the Northern Fleet's side has already ended, but don't let the Northern Fleet eat it, let's not say that the meat is not eaten, I'm afraid that there is no soup to drink." ”

"Lao Wang, what are you anxious about, the drone has been monitoring, now the expeditionary fleet is still more than 30 kilometers away from us, how to take an hour to arrive, and these more than 150 warships, I don't believe that the Northern Fleet can eat them all, you can rest for a while." ”

Wang Hailong grabbed the teacup on his seat, poured it all in one go, wiped his mouth and said: "Lao Li, I'm just afraid that the Northern Fleet will take away all the big fish, so I will leave us a few small shrimps, and it won't even be enough to stuff the teeth." ”

At this time, Zhang Yang, a messenger, came over and said, "Commander, the preliminary results of the Northern Fleet have been counted. ”

Wang Hailong put down the teacup and said, "Read." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Sink 8 battleships, 4 armored cruisers, 5 large protective cruisers, 3 captured battleships, 1 armored cruiser, 1 large protective cruiser, and other destroyers, casualties unknown." After a pause, he said: "There is also Minister Shang's instructions, asking us not to let go of 1 enemy ship as much as possible." ”

Wang Hailong was stunned for a moment and said, "Damn, did you really catch all the big fish?"

Chief of Staff Li Ya said with a smile while signing the telegram document: "What do you mean by 'fishing all the big fish', the battle report says very clearly, 8 battleships were sunk, 3 were captured, and there were only 11 in total, and the expeditionary fleet had a total of 24 battleships, and 13 battleships were left to us, and the Northern Fleet was very interesting." But they're playing well, so it's up to us to do the rest. ”

Wang Hailong nodded and said, "Of course, we can't lose to the Northern Fleet." By the way, what warships are left in the expeditionary fleet?"

Information officer Liu Chunliang said: "After checking, the French fleet is basically intact, the Russian fleet has lost the battleship Glorious, and the battleships Pantlemon and Ritasrov remain; the Dutch fleet has lost the battleship Wilhelm I, the protective cruiser Curacao, and the armored cruisers Utrecht and the Republic have been stationed in Kaohsiung, and now the battleships Seven Provinces and the protective cruisers Netherlands, Aruba, and St. Martin are left; the British fleet has suffered the greatest losses, and now only the battleships Majesty, Hannibal, and The Exmouth and Russell, the armored cruisers Crécy and Monmouth, the protective cruisers Terror, the Mighty and the Crown, and a handful of destroyers. However, most of the British warships were damaged, and most of them were seriously damaged. ”

Li Ya took the list of warships of the expeditionary fleet, outlined them one by one, and then said: "Lao Wang, 13 battleships, although they are deserters, they are really not delicious, we may not be able to eat them, to be honest, our weapons are not enough, unless they are used." ”

Although the Yuzhan Fleet has three modern warships, there are really not many modern weapons that can be used, and the Yueyang and Sanya warships each have 24 Haihongqi 16** and 6 Eagle Strike 83**; Huaihua can use even fewer weapons, only 6 Eagle Strike 83** and 8 Haihong Flag 7**, but Haihongqi 7** belongs to short-range air defense, which is not only less powerful, but also has a range of only 12 kilometers, so it can only hit destroyers at most, and it must also be close to strike. Compared with the Eagle Strike 100**, Eagle Strike 18**, Haihongqi 9**, etc., which the Northern Fleet has, the combat effectiveness is indeed very different.

Of course, the sum of the 3 warships, a total of 36 Yu 7 **, the number is very considerable, but the Yu 7 ** is light ** in the old time and space, the range is only 14 kilometers, because of the pre-war regulations, modern warships must maintain a distance of more than 20 kilometers from the enemy, so they can only be launched by helicopters, but this has brought a series of troublesome consequences, first of all, the helicopter load is limited, Haizhi 20 can be mounted with 2 Yu 7 **, and Haizhi 9 can only carry one round, and the helicopter of the three warships can only carry 5 rounds at most** After the light is shot, it must be returned to the warship to be re-mounted, and in the old time and space, the helicopter is usually a submarine, and to launch a warship, the helicopter must fly at a low altitude and skim the sea, and can only be launched within 10,000 meters of the target, which will also bring certain dangers to the helicopter.

Wang Hailong waved his hand and said, "We don't have enough weapons, so let's go to the Kunming ship for support, and see how much support the Kunming ship can provide us with now?" By the way, remember, we must send a telegram to Minister Shang." ”

Wang Hailong is not a dead brain who wants to save face, he can't force what he can't do, and it's not a shame to ask for support from the Kunming ship, after all, the Kunming ship is the strongest of the 5 crossing warships, and the other 4 together are not as strong as the Kunming ship. And sending a telegram to Shang Jinfeng, not to Han Chao, the commander of the Northern Fleet, also shows Wang Hailong's cunning, and losing face will be lost in front of whom, because he and Han Chao are at the same level, so he sent a telegram to Han Chao to request support, and that face can be lost, and Shang Jinfeng is the superior of the two, of course, there is no need to be afraid of embarrassment to rescue the superiors, not to mention that this time Shang Jinfeng is personally in command on the Kunming ship, and it is reasonable to send a telegram to Shang Jinfeng.

Of course, Li Ya understood Wang Hailong's intentions, nodded and smiled: "Understood, I will draft a message immediately and send it to you later." ”

At this moment, radar soldier Huang Qingping said: "Captain, the expeditionary fleet has moved." ”

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

The first to retreat from the battlefield were the fleets of Russia and the Netherlands, and the two fleets fled more than 30 kilometers south in one go, but after completely breaking away from the battlefield, they fought each other.

This contradiction was planted at the time when the two sides had just evacuated, when the Russian battleship Glorious rammed two Dutch cruisers Curaçao in succession in order to compete for the route of the retreat. The St. Martin smashed the middle side of the Curaçao into the water, and the St. Martin was also seriously injured, and the Dutch flagship Wilhelm I retaliated and destroyed the tail of the Glory, and the two propellers were damaged and unable to move; so the Glory fired on the William I, sinking the William I on the spot, and staged a series of anti-drama in the nest.

Since the scale of the fleets of both sides is not large, the loss of a battleship is a major loss for the fleets of both sides, and it is natural that they are holding back a belly of fire, but just now they want to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, so they temporarily suppress the fire, but it turns out that in the expeditionary fleet, the fleets of both sides are grouped together to form a fleet, but after the withdrawal, they have also consciously distanced themselves, and they are clearly distinguished. And now that both sides have been out of the battlefield and out of danger, of course, it is necessary to settle the account.

First of all, another Dutch battleship, the Seven Provinces, sent a telegram to the Russian fleet, accusing the Glory of deliberately sinking the Curaçao, damaging the St. Martin, and then firing and sinking the William I, demanding that the Russian fleet admit its mistake, take full responsibility for it, and promise compensation.

Of course, the Russian fleet would not admit that it was its own mistake, and not only defended itself, but also made a rake, saying that it was very common for warships to collide with each other, and that the sinking of the Glory by the Curaçao and the collision and damage of the Saint-Martin were all accidents, on the contrary, William I deliberately rammed the Glory and made the Glory lose power, and the wrong party was the Netherlands, and the Netherlands should compensate Russia.

As a result, the two sides naturally insisted on each other, and neither of them could convince the other, and the rhetoric became more and more intense. But the Russians are not good at stubble, they have always believed in the ability to never talk about artillery, you little Holland is that onion, and you dare to argue with Russia, not to mention that now the Dutch fleet has only 1 battleship left, and it is also a second-class battleship, what else to say, straight into the guy, so the Pantlemon first fired at the Dutch fleet, and the Dutch fleet was naturally not far behind, so they fired back, and the two sides fought like this.

Although Russia had two battleships, the Dutch fleet had three medium-sized protective cruisers, and Russia had no cruisers; in addition, in terms of the number of destroyers, the Dutch fleet also had an advantage of 8 to 6, so after the two sides fought, the Dutch fleet did not fall behind, and the two sides fought fiercely for about 20 minutes, and Russia sank two destroyers, and the two battleships Pantlemon and Rytasrov were also shot one after another, and they were launched by Dutch destroyers** The Dutch side also sank a destroyer, and the Seven Provinces were hit by a 305 mm shell.

Seeing that both sides were about to lose both sides, at this moment the French fleet arrived, because of the extreme retreat, the French fleet basically had no losses, and seeing that Russia and the Netherlands actually fought, the French fleet also hurriedly separated the two sides and mediated for both sides.

Although France could not judge the cause of the dispute between the two sides, it was still concerned about the overall situation and the fact that it was not yet safe, and finally persuaded the two sides to temporarily stop the war and work together to deal with the KPA Navy, but both sides refused to team up with the other side again.

At this moment, the remaining warships of the British fleet also came to join them, and the remaining British warships also took this opportunity to reorganize the fleet and negotiate the next step.

There is nothing to say about the current situation, the expeditionary fleet has been withdrawn and lost, and all that is done is to keep the remaining warships and bring them back safely. In the end, all parties decided to go back to Kaohsiung first, after all, the ships of the expeditionary fleet and the expeditionary army are still in Kaohsiung, so it is the best choice to return to Kaohsiung first.

Since you have decided on the next move, you will not hesitate, after all, it is not safe to stop here, not to mention that it is almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is almost dark, and it is still about 160 kilometers away from Kaohsiung, and it will take about 5 hours of sailing time, but it will be more troublesome at night. And the People's Army fleet will never let the expeditionary force fleet leave so easily. The expeditionary fleet immediately set sail for Kaohsiung, and the Dutch and Russian fleets were also dealt with, the Dutch fleet was incorporated into the British fleet, and the Russian fleet was merged with the French fleet.
