The sinking of the battleship with all main guns of the Brave did not cause too many problems in the command system of the Golden Lion Empire's expeditionary fleet.

After learning that the battleship Brave had been sunk and that the fate of the temporary commander of the expeditionary fleet, Zenich, was unknown, he immediately took over the command of the entire expeditionary fleet and continued to lead the Golden Lion Empire expeditionary fleet and the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to launch a confrontation between battleships.

However, just two hours after the start of the battle, his own command ship was sunk, which still seriously damaged the morale of the Golden Lion Empire's expeditionary fleet.

What frightened many officers and soldiers of the Golden Lion Empire's expeditionary fleet even more was those strange torpedoes that came out of nowhere.

The new commander of the Golden Lion Empire's expeditionary fleet, Rogers, although he also guessed that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet might have submarines capable of launching attacks underwater.

However, in order to avoid causing more panic, Majors did not report the incident.

The three Phantom-class submarines carried a total of 24 450-mm torpedoes, except for 4 torpedoes that were malfunctioning and 3 torpedoes that missed the target.

The remaining 17 torpedoes sank 1 all-main gun battleship and 1 all-steel battleship of the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet, and seriously damaged 3 all-main gun battleships and 3 all-steel battleships, and the results were quite brilliant.

Thanks to the assistance of 3 "Phantom" class submarines, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation between battleships.

In order to regain his inferiority, Commander Rogers of the Third Fleet, who had taken over the command, had no choice but to order a part of the light cruisers and destroyers of each fleet to launch a decisive assault on the battle line of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

However, in the face of the extremely fierce artillery fire of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the hundreds of light cruisers and destroyers of the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet that participated in the decisive assault turned around and ran back after sinking a few of them.

And these light cruisers and destroyers, at this time, did not receive an order to retreat.

may be a decisive assault, which is really not suitable for the current Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire.

To the devastation of the commander of the Third Fleet, Rogers was that due to the smoke on the sea, the light cruisers and destroyers that escaped also damaged 2 battleships with full main guns and 1 battleship with all steel.

One of the Six-Headed Snake-class all-main gun battleships that was damaged by the collision was scarred by the bombardment before, and this collision directly put the Sixa-class all-main gun battleship to the end of its life.

At seven o'clock in the evening of April 1, another bad news came to the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet.

The Third Fleet Commander Majors' battleship Worker Bee's full main gun exploded its ammunition bay because it failed to control the fire, and the entire hull of the Worker Bee was immediately blown into three parts.

The commander of the Third Fleet, Marcus Majors, did not have time to escape, and sank into the sea with the flagship of the Third Fleet, the Worker Bee, with all the main guns battleship.

The death of two commanders in a row made the morale of the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet low to freezing point, and the Fourth Fleet Commander Nakola, who took over the third command of the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet, issued the order to retreat after consulting with the Seventh Fleet Commander Mitro and the Eighth Fleet Commander Chevas through the radio station.

Before giving the order to retreat, Nacora did not even communicate with the Admiralty of the Golden Lion Empire and the Doge's Palace.

Originally, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, who had gone through the last naval battle of Gaoluo Island, very much disagreed with this time the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire fighting the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires alone.

Since they have reached an agreement with the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire to form a joint fleet of the three countries, why do they still want to slap their faces and become fat?

Nakola was well aware of Governor Cosno's character, and if he sent back a telegram asking for Governor Cosno's opinion, Governor Cosno would have demanded that the expeditionary fleet must fight to the end against the Han and Tang Empire's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, saw that the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Lion Empire was about to run, and immediately began to organize teams to pursue.

Zhou Rui, who had been anxiously waiting for the outcome of the naval battle, couldn't help but feel a little dreamy when he took the telegram sent back by Song Limin, this is a win?

At this time, Zhou Rui didn't know that the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet had been attacked by two god-level dragons before, and according to the information Zhou Rui obtained, the strength of the Golden Lion Empire's Expeditionary Fleet was to be stronger than the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Early in the morning of April 2, Zhou Rui, who had just gotten up, suddenly received a prompt from the lottery system, congratulating him on completing the hidden task of "winning the largest naval battle", and rewarded Zhou Rui with a four-star lottery card and 40 points.

Sure enough, as Zhou Rui expected, this hidden task of "winning the largest naval battle" can be brushed many times.

And when Zhou Rui received the prompt of the lottery system, Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, issued an order to stop the pursuit to the various teams involved in the pursuit.

It was not until the evening of April 2 that the battle report, which was later known as the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island, was delivered to Zhou Rui.

The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet achieved brilliant results in this naval battle with the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet.

In total, 15 battleships, 1 battlecruiser, 18 all-steel battleships, 15 large armored cruisers, 22 light cruisers, and 25 destroyers were sunk by the Golden Lion Expeditionary Fleet.

In addition, in the course of a night's pursuit, 21 battleships with full main guns, 16 all-steel battleships, 3 large armored cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 4 destroyers of the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet were forced to surrender.

The Southwestern Coastal Defense Fleet itself lost 7 battleships with full main guns, 4 battlecruisers, 4 all-steel battleships, 7 large armored cruisers, 9 light cruisers, 10 destroyers and 2 submarines.

After completing its attack, the Ghost IV submarine was destroyed by a large-caliber shell that fell into the sea on its way back.

After returning to the sea where the supply ship was located, the Ghost 1 and Ghost 2 submarines learned that the Golden Lion Empire Expeditionary Fleet had retreated before they had time to restock the new torpedoes.

With the speed of the "Phantom" class submarines, it was impossible to participate in the pursuit battle, so the Ghost 1 and Ghost 2 submarines did not return to the battlefield after that.

The 21 all-main gun battleships captured by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet include 8 Brave class all-main gun battleships with a full load displacement of 30,600 tons, 7 Black Prince-class all-main gun battleships with a full load displacement of 29,000 tons, and 6 six-headed Serpent-class all-main gun battleships with a full load displacement of 25,800 tons.

The 16 all-steel battleships captured, including 7 Termite-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 21,800 tons, 4 gift-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 20,500 tons, and 5 Cardinal Sparrowhawk-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 18,800 tons.

The Termite class and the Red Sparrowhawk class, which have been captured by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet before, are the predecessor ships of the Termite class in the Gift class, equipped with 2 twin 45 times caliber 330 mm main guns and 3 twin 45 times caliber 200 mm secondary guns.

Many of these battleships captured by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet were not seriously injured, but once these battleships of the Golden Lion Empire were surrounded, they basically stopped resisting.

As for the 3 large armored cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 4 destroyers captured by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the white flag was raised on the orders of the captain because they could not escape after being seriously wounded.

The capture of so many battleships with all main guns and all-steel battleships can be said to have completely made up for the losses of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet in the Second Battle of Gaoluo Island, and even if we talk about warships alone, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has made a fortune.

After completing the hidden mission of "Winning the Largest Naval Battle" again, a four-star lottery card was used by Zhou Rui, and a total of eight rewards were issued, seven of which were warships.

50 kg gold bricks (120,000 pieces)

Russian Unreasonable-class destroyers (60 units)

German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers (36 ships)

German York-class large armored cruisers (16 units)

German Scharnhorst-class armored cruisers (16 units)

British Lion-class battlecruisers (8 units)

American New Mexico-class battleships (8 units)

U.S. Tennessee-class battleships (8 ships)

Among them, the Tennessee-class battleship of the United States is a new warship of the lottery system, according to the introduction of the lottery system, the full load displacement is 35,190 tons, and the maximum speed is 21 knots.

It was armed with 4 triple 50x caliber 356-mm main guns, 14 127-mm secondary guns, 8 76-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 2 533-mm torpedo tubes.

The broadside armor belt was from 203 mm to 343 mm, the main deck armor was 89 mm, the main turret armor was 457 mm, and the full crew was 1084 people.

Since the main guns of the American Tennessee-class battleships can be tilted up to 30 degrees, while the main guns of the American New Mexico-class battleships can only be tilted up to 15 degrees, the range of the main guns of the American Tennessee-class battleships is more than 9,000 meters longer than that of the New Mexico-class battleships.

A three-star raffle card given by Bai in April also offered two rewards for warships, including a new warship.

U.S. Nevada-class battleships (4 ships)

Toei Ise-class battleships (4 ships)

According to the introduction of the lottery system, the Ise-class battleship of the Eastern Ying Province has a full load displacement of 32,062 tons and a maximum speed of 23 knots.

It was armed with 6 twin 45x caliber 356 mm main guns, 20 140 mm secondary guns, 4 80 mm anti-aircraft guns, and 6 533 mm torpedo tubes.

The broadside armor belt 305 mm, the main deck armor 55 mm, the main turret armor 305 mm, the full crew of the crew was 1360 people.

As a result, the lottery system was stocked with 24 battleships with full main guns, 8 battlecruisers, 32 large armored cruisers, 36 light cruisers, and 60 destroyers.

If you count the four-star lottery card you got because of the victory in this naval battle, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has made a lot of money this time.

After a naval battle of this scale, the strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet not only did not suffer any losses, but on the contrary, increased a lot.
