Finding that the combined fleet of the nine navies had signs of escape, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires certainly would not sit idly by, and the 4 battle groups composed of 12 main fleets immediately launched a pursuit.

The carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier fleet also chased after the remnants of the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy and hit hard.

Even with the unsparing support of the air forces of the five countries, the Golden Lion, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, the Flying Leopard, and the Wild Bull, the retreat of the combined fleet of the nine navies has almost become a road of death.

In order to be able to withdraw most of the warships to the port of Zatvina, Svia, the admiral of the Red Tiger Empire, who took over the command of the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy, had to order the navies of each country to leave behind the blocking fleet, which was dominated by seriously damaged capital ships and large armored cruisers.

It is said that it is a blocking fleet, but in essence it is no different from sending a fleet to death.

However, the warships of various countries that were ordered to stay, including the Golden Lion Navy, which was recognized as having a weak will to fight, showed great tenacity in the following battles.

Although the blocking fleet composed of more than 250 warships was finally wiped out, none of the warships chose to surrender to the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, which even shocked the officers and men of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Even after some warships of the coalition forces lost their combat effectiveness, the officers and men on the warships would open the sea-sealing valves and watertight hatches to prevent the warships from falling into the hands of the Han and Tang Imperial Navy.

The behavior of the Interception Fleet is also related to a notice issued by the navies of various countries before the war.

In order to avoid large-scale surrenders, the navies of various countries have announced that once there is a surrendered warship, all officers on the warship will be held accountable, and the accountability will also affect the officers' relatives.

Anyway, the meaning of the navies of various countries is that people can surrender, but warships must not fall into the hands of the navies of the Han and Tang Empires.

Because of the blocking fleet, the remaining warships of the combined fleet of the nine navies successfully disengaged from the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

And the initiator of turning the retreat of the combined fleet of the nine navies into the road of death was the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Seeing a Red Tiger Empire Royal Navy's Admiration-class all-main gun battleship in the distance, after a violent explosion, the hull was blown into three sections, and quickly sank towards the sea, the corners of the Red Tiger Empire's Navy Minister Svia's mouth couldn't help but tremble.

Then Svia looked up, looked at the fighting planes in the sky from the observation window of the bridge, turned his head and said to the captain of the Admiration, Fike: "Send another telegram to the coalition command on the northern front."

Ask them to send more fighter jets to cover the withdrawal of our combined fleet of nine navies to the port of Zatvina. ”

The captain of the Admiration, Feke, smiled bitterly, "General, in the last telegram from the coalition command on the Northern Front, it was clear that they had done everything they could, and I am afraid it would be useless for us to urge." ”

Svia gritted her teeth and said, "Then send another telegram too!"

We must bring more warships, especially the capital ships, back to the Spirit World through the different time node in Zatvina Harbor, and we can't let the Interception Fleet die in vain! ”

When the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires wiped out more than 250 warships of the combined fleet of the Nine Navies, it was not until 4 pm on the 29th that they came to the port of Zatvina.

It's a pity that at this time, except for a few warships that are slowly sinking, the rest of the warships have already withdrawn to the side of the beast world through the different time and space nodes.

Liu Ergou, commander of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, used a telescope to observe the artificial canal where the node of time and space in the port of Zatvina was located, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Liu Ergou relieved the binoculars, and reluctantly said to Wang Kedong, the captain of the Huarong, and Li Baogang, the captain of the China Resources: "The coalition forces have arranged too much anti-aircraft firepower on both sides of the artificial canal.

Carrier-based dive bombers and carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft, there is no way to block the artificial canal with a sunken ship. ”

It turned out that Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, learned that the remnants of the warships of the combined fleet of the nine navies that had returned to the port of Zatvina had begun to retreat to the beast world through different time and space nodes, and immediately ordered the carrier-based aircraft group to strive to sink the enemy warships that had entered the artificial canal, hoping to use the sunken warships to block the artificial canal.

However, because the coalition forces deployed too many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on both sides of the artificial canal, and the artificial canal was 200 meters wide, even if one or two warships were blown up and sunk, it would not affect the retreat of other coalition warships, and the plan to block the artificial canal was not successful.

Wang Kedong, the captain of the Huarong, said: "Commander, no matter what, this decisive battle at sea is the victory of the Royal Navy of our Han and Tang Empires.

From now on, the sea control on this side of the Western Continent will belong to the Royal Navy of our Han and Tang Empires. ”

Li Baogang, the captain of the China Resources, nodded and said with some emotion: "This victory is not easy to come by!"

Putting aside the difference in strength between the two sides, just from the perspective of combat awareness, the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy is no worse than our Royal Navy. ”

At this time, Liu Ergou yawned, "It's good to win, and then you can finally sleep peacefully." ”

Considering that there was no point in bombarding the battery group in Zatvina Harbor, the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires turned around and withdrew before they could get close to Zarwina Harbor.

In the middle of the night on October 29, in the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui couldn't help but sigh with the loss data sent by Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

In this decisive battle at sea with the combined fleet of the nine navies, although the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires won a victory, and it can be called a brilliant victory, the losses of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires themselves were also very large.

In this naval battle, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires sank a total of 37 battleships with full main guns, 42 battle cruisers, 12 heavy cruisers, 27 large armored cruisers, 134 light cruisers, 156 destroyers, 19 submarines and 3 escort aircraft carriers, in addition to 10,125 carrier-based aircraft.

Including the pilots of carrier-based aircraft, the total number of killed and missing officers and soldiers exceeded 220,000.

Of course, the results achieved by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires were also quite amazing, only the sunken battleships and battlecruisers with all main guns added up to more than 900, and the total number of enemy warships sunk was likely to be more than 5,000.

In the afternoon, Zhou Rui also received a prompt from the lottery system, congratulating him on completing the hidden task of "winning the largest naval battle" again, and rewarded Zhou Rui with a four-star lottery card and 40 points.

Originally, Zhou Rui's points in the lottery system had reached 390/400, and after getting these 40 points, Zhou Rui's level in the lottery system was suddenly upgraded to level 4, and the points became 30/800.

In this way, at the beginning of each month in the future, Zhou Rui will get a four-star lottery card from the lottery system for nothing.

After Zhou Rui used up a four-star lottery card, a total of seven rewards were issued, and all of them were warships.

American Fletcher-class destroyers (80 units)

American Cleveland-class light cruisers (40 units)

American Baltimore-class heavy cruisers (40 units)

American Alaska-class battlecruisers (12 units)

Italian Veneto-class battleships (12 ships)

Yamato-class battleships (12 ships)

U.S. Midway-class aircraft carriers (12 units)

Among the seven rewards, the first five warships have been opened before, and the last two are newly opened warships.

The Yamato-class battleship was the largest battleship built during World War II, with a full load displacement of 72,810 tons and a maximum speed of 27 knots.

It is equipped with 3 triple 45-caliber 460-mm main guns, 4 triple 155-mm secondary guns, 12 twin 127-mm anti-aircraft guns, 156 25-mm machine guns, 2 catapults, 7 seaplanes, and is equipped with anti-air and sea-search radars.

The broadside armor belt was up to 410 mm thick, the main deck armor was 200 mm, the main turret armor was 650 mm, and the crew was 2415 people.

The U.S. Midway-class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier designed and built by the U.S. Navy during World War II, with a full load displacement of 59,901 tons, a maximum speed of 33 knots, and a crew of 358 people.

It is equipped with 18 single-barreled 127 mm caliber high-level dual-purpose guns, 42 quadruple 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 28 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

It has 58 F4F Wildcat fighters, 58 SBD dreadnought dive bombers and 29 TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft.

Although these warships drawn by this four-star lottery card still cannot make up for the losses of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, they give the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires a more powerful battleship with full main guns and a stronger aircraft carrier.

In fact, even if there is no supplement to the lottery system, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires will have a big gap in scale for a long time in the future, even if the navies of the six beast countries and the navies of the three elf countries are combined.

After Zhou Rui put a few pieces of paper on the table that recorded the data on the losses of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, he said to Zhou Xiaorong: "Second uncle, the navy has won the victory, and the next step is to consider the issue of opening up a third battlefield."

Second uncle, where do you think it is more appropriate to open up a third battlefield? ”

Zhou Xiaorong, commander of the Fengwu Military Region, pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I still advocate opening up a third battlefield in the coastal areas of the Red Tiger Empire.

In this war, it is difficult for us to defeat the six orc countries and the three elven countries in one go.

If our Han and Tang Empires can annex the 6 provinces of the Red Tiger Empire in this world, then even if a war breaks out with the Nine ** Things Alliance in the future, our Han and Tang Empires will not be attacked on their backs. ”

Zhou Rui frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the other countries of the coalition will not watch the six provinces of the Red Tiger Empire be eaten by our Han and Tang Empires." ”

"Your Majesty, the army forces of the three elven countries with up to 18 million troops are in the Via Province and Chesla Province of the Red Tiger Empire at this time.

These three elf countries will definitely not watch the Red Tiger Empire be swallowed up by our Han and Tang Empires, but the other five beast countries may not be able to go all out to reinforce the Red Tiger Empire, maybe this is the opportunity for our Han and Tang Empires. ”

"There is some truth in what the second uncle said, and in the future, the major military regions must make every effort to ensure the battle plan for opening up the third battlefield in the Red Tiger Empire."

In the palace of Norya City, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno said to Prime Minister Salento in frustration: "I didn't expect the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy to be so miserably.

There are almost no ten warships in the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire that have joined the combined fleet of the nine navies, and even the Minister of the Navy, Raff, has been killed.

Prime Minister, what do you say next? ”

According to the statistics of various countries, the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries sank a total of 457 battleships with full main guns, 478 battle cruisers, 12 aircraft carriers, 680 large armored cruisers, 1,385 light cruisers, 1,476 destroyers, 479 submarines, and 638 escort aircraft carriers in this naval battle, and also lost more than 13,000 carrier-based aircraft.

Even the surviving warships of the combined fleet of the nine navies were almost all wounded.

The combined number of dead and missing naval officers and sailors in nine countries exceeds 2 million.

It can be said that this naval battle not only crippled the combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries, but also caused the navies of the six beast countries and the three elf countries to suffer heavy losses.

Prime Minister Salento said with a wry smile: "No one thought that the Han and Tang Empires would hide so many aircraft carriers, and they were aircraft carriers in the true sense of the word.

After the disastrous defeat of the combined fleet of the nine navies, the sea control along the coast of the Western Continent fell into the hands of the navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Next, we have to guard against the Han and Tang Empires opening a third battlefield in the Western Continent, but ......"

"But what?"

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's estimates, even if the Han and Tang Empires want to open up a third battlefield, they should choose to be in the coastal areas of the Red Tiger Empire.

After all, as long as the Red Tiger Empire occupies the 6 provinces of the New World, the Han and Tang Empires will get rid of the situation of being attacked on the Western Continent. ”

Emperor Kosno nodded slightly, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense, if the Han and Tang Empires choose to land in the coastal areas of the Red Tiger Empire, the pressure on our Golden Lion Empire will be much less."

There are the armies of the Red Tiger Empire and the armies of the three elven countries to resist the landing of the ** team of the Han and Tang Emperors. ”

After a pause, Emperor Kosno continued: "Prime Minister, do you say that it is possible to hold peace talks with the Han and Tang Empires now?"

The northern and southern fronts have been in a stalemate, and now the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy has been defeated again.

I feel that if this war continues, it will be difficult for our Nine Events Alliance to see the hope of victory, so it is better to negotiate peace with the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Prime Minister Salento said: "Your Majesty, the three elven countries in the Nine ** Things Alliance, as well as the Barbarian Bull Empire, may not agree to negotiate peace with the Han and Tang Empires.

After all, the four of them have no territory in the New World at present, and the Barbarian Bull Empire is counting on relying on this war to return to the New World, and the three elven countries are also pinning their hopes on gaining a foothold in the New World through this war.

In addition, our Nine ** Alliance is now at a disadvantage, and once peace is negotiated, the Han and Tang Empires will inevitably put forward some harsh conditions. ”

Emperor Kosno sighed and said, "I know all this, but what's the point of continuing to fight like this? ”
