Chapter 305: A Naval Battle Resolved in Thirty Minutes
"Boom!!"
Finally, a piercing shell landed on the deck of the main battleship of the Osiman Empire.
Just one shot!
The piercing bullets fired from the 380 mm caliber cannon came in an instant.
This piercing shell almost broke the main battleship of the Oshiman Imperial Navy.
Sea water poured into the battleship from the fracture, and the flames, smoke, and sea water formed a sea hell.
There were cries for help, shouts everywhere, explosions everywhere.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock, and they all looked at the battleship Zhiyuan that blasted out this cannon.
Is this the real strength of the main warships of the Chinese Navy?
Just one shell, one shell hit the main battleship of the Osiman Imperial Navy, and cut off this battleship that was not weak.
What a terrifying fighting power this must be?
For a moment, the Admiral of the Osiman Empire was dumbfounded.
His brain couldn't even think, and was left with despair.
Oh, yes!
How can you not despair when you play against such a powerful opponent?
At this time, the other naval warships of the Osiman Empire were also eager to add a few wheels to the warships so that they could quickly escape from this hell on earth.
As for the officials of the Osiman Empire who were watching the battle with binoculars on the coast, there was even more bitterness and speechlessness in their mouths.
The cannon fired from the battleship Zhiyuan simply subverted everyone's imagination.
They couldn't imagine what kind of performance a battleship would have such a large-caliber and lethal gun.
It turns out that naval battles can still be fought like this?
This is what everyone thinks subconsciously.
With this cannon alone, everyone already knew that the performance of Huaguo's battleship was about ten years ahead of the Osiman Imperial Navy.
Crushing the First Battle!
There is no possibility of a turnaround.
The former "sick man of East Asia" was able to be so tough.
And the powerful Osiman Empire, which dominates the Mediterranean coast and makes the entire continent tremble, is galloping on the road to the end.
"The Huaguo Navy is too strong, how can they become so strong?"
"Such a powerful battleship, even if the sun never sets on the naval fleet, may not be able to take advantage of the naval fleet of China."
"Which idiot offended the Chinese Navy? There has always been no conflict between our Osiman Empire and the Chinese Kingdom. ”
"It is said that Emre is that fool, and he wants to extort 10,000 taels of gold from the Chinese Navy for customs clearance."
"Huaguo's envoy was also directly detained by this idiot, and he said that Huaguo's navy was probably the sick man of East Asia with pigtails."
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze a little.
Everyone finally knew the reason why the Chinese Navy was so furious.
I have to say, Emre is really a rare idiot.
But before this, who would have thought that Huaguo's navy would be so powerful?
In the distance, the fierce fighting on the sea continues.
In the Chinese naval formation with the battleships "Zhiyuan" and "Dingyuan" as the main warships.
Like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, it bombarded the Auximan Imperial Navy like a thunderbolt.
Chen Shaokuan, an admiral of the Chinese Navy who usually looks like a Confucian general, finally showed his fangs.
The fierce and sustained wave of violent attacks brought Chen Shaokuan's command style into full play.
The rain of artillery attacks turned the last glimmer of hope for the Osiman Empire's navy into a desperate one that could not be reversed.
The nickname of Chen Shaokuan, a famous admiral of the Chinese Navy, as a "sea predator", gradually spread among the navies of various countries in the world after this war.
And the strength of the Chinese navy was also undoubtedly demonstrated in this battle.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!!
The sea and the sky trembled in unison with the sound of the violent explosion.
The huge pillars of sea water that rose into the sky made the naval soldiers of the Osiman Empire feel extremely hopeless at the same time.
Because no one knows whether in the next moment, there will be such a terrifying piercing bullet that will fall on the deck of the warship, completely destroying and tearing the entire warship to pieces.
This battle simply rubbed the dignity of the Osiman Empire's navy on the ground.
And before that, he made wild words, threatening to drown the navy of the sick man of East Asia in the depths of the Mediterranean.
Let the whole world see the dignity and inviolability of the Auximan Empire's navy, the admiral has already become bloodless.
Although the Admiral of the Osiman Empire was still insisting, he knew that it was only a matter of time before this navy was strangled by the Chinese Navy.
But he also knew that if he chose to surrender, he would be retaliated by Muhammad VI.
An explosion like a drum sounded near the warship formation of the Osiman Empire.
The cannonballs flying in the sky obscured everything, Chen Shaokuan rolled up his sleeves and looked at the watch on his wrist, timing the entire naval battle.
Even in the current situation of this near-crushing battle.
Even if the Chinese naval fleet did not lose a single naval warship, the Imperial Navy of Osiman was already being chased by destroyers.
But Admiral Chen Shaokuan's face was still not very good-looking.
The reason is very simple, because the time it took to annihilate the naval fleet of the Osiman Empire was already more than thirty minutes.
In Admiral Chen Shaokuan's view, with the strength of the Chinese naval fleet, their failure to end the battle within 30 minutes was already a failure.
Rumble!
Another piercing shell landed on the deck of the command ship of the Osiman Empire, and the deck was pierced and the power system of the command ship was completely destroyed.
The warships of the Osiman Empire, which had lost their power systems, had become a living target floating on the sea.
At this point, the battle is completely over.
Before the start of the war, the admiral of the Osiman Empire, who was full of confidence and despised the Chinese navy in every way, collapsed on the deck of the command ship.
He knew that his military career had come to an end.
And if you still insist on fighting, you will definitely die in the end.
So the white flag, which represented the surrender, slowly rose from the command ship of the Osiman Imperial Navy.
The Admiral of the Osiman Empire finally chose to surrender.
Because compared to the naval fleet of the Chinese State, even if the Oximan Imperial Navy retaliated, it seemed that it was only doing useless work.
The officials of the Osiman Empire who watched the battle from the shore were silent, and the consuls of the ports on the Mediterranean coast, who had previously advocated and detained the ambassador of Huaguo, had a bloodless face.
He naturally knew who was the culprit of this battle, and after the defeat of the Osiman Empire's navy, he would definitely not escape the blame.
How could Huaguo's navy be so strong?
He had a bad brain to think of trying to extort 10,000 taels of gold from the hands of the Chinese navy.
Coupled with this person's previous insulting remarks about the Chinese people, he only felt that he was already cold.
On the other side, after watching the ceasefire of the Osiman Imperial Naval Fleet, the naval soldiers of Huaguo let out thunderous cheers.
The sick man of East Asia?
Fuck you sick man of East Asia!
After this naval battle, who else dares to underestimate Huaguo's navy, and which guy who doesn't open his eyes dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head and blackmail Huaguo's head?
Gone are the days when the great powers used a few warships to open the gates of China and oppress the Chinese people.
"Twenty-seven minutes and thirty-eight seconds!"
"If it weren't for the White Surrender Flag raised by the command ship of the Osiman Imperial Navy, this battle would definitely have lasted more than thirty minutes."
"Therefore, the performance of the Chinese naval fleet is still unqualified, their tactics are too immature and too rusty to cooperate."
Admiral Chen Shaokuan of Huaguo commented with a frown.
It is far easier to reap the rewards from failure than it is to reap the rewards from successes.
And this is also the difference between Admiral Chen Shaokuan and others.
Even after a crushing naval battle, he still saw the shortcomings of the Chinese naval fleet.
What he could see from this naval battle was that Huaguo's naval fleet could be greatly improved in that regard.
It is precisely because of this that he was appointed by Zhang Zongqing as the commander-in-chief of the first naval fleet formation in China.
"You can't blame everything, they are just fighting for the first time, so it's understandable that they don't cooperate tacitly." Zhang Zongqing walked out of the cabin wearing a big coat, and he said with a smile.
"It's not necessary to be dismissed, but it's okay to fine their salaries."
Zhang Zongqing, the second son of the black-bellied son, put forward a very "good" suggestion to General Chen Shaokuan.
