Chapter 211: You Can't Die If You Want To!

"Should we go to Hong Kong or to the French colony?" Severa is hesitating, now it is really impossible to fight, since losing the throne of the sea supremacy, and again lost to the old enemy British in the Battle of Trafalgar, the Spanish Navy has since been like a soulless warrior, the glory is gone, how can the Spanish Navy, which has no sense of responsibility and will, compete with the Americans who are in their prime? What if you resist yourself?

In the Qing-Japanese War, Yang Yonglin commanded a warship to entangle with the Japanese fleet for several months, and he deeply admired and wanted to create a miracle of his own, but unfortunately his officers and soldiers were unwilling, their spirit had collapsed, and it was already a normal performance to be able to escape. Want to fight again? I guess there may be a mutiny, right? Looking at the wounded and the incessant wails that were now everywhere, Cervera knew that her battle was finally over.

Now Severa didn't think so much, so he could only direct the battleship to continue north, and at this time, the Carlos V, which was still majestic a few days ago, was a little embarrassed, and the hull superstructure was covered with bullet holes and flame marks left by high-explosive shell strikes. The half-pulled bridge was burned to a pile of ruins, after all, it was besieged by 3 protective cruisers, and it took a full 3 hours! The shells are almost all cleared, and no matter how low the hit rate is, tons of damage are also output.

Also very tired are the personnel, in order to escape, the ship's stoker is playing with his life, and finally thirty percent of the stokers are tired and collapsed, and a few are exhausted. In this era, the speed of a battleship depends not only on the boiler, but also on manpower! There was no way, most of the coal for the warships was manpowered, and some of the merchant ships later used chain furnaces. At this time, the battleship could only reach a speed of 12 knots, and slowly and leisurely headed towards the port of Manila.

Perhaps God didn't think Spain had suffered enough calamity, and just as Sevila finally sailed out of the Sulu Sea to continue sailing north, the huge Japanese fleet was also sailing south. And this time, in order to ensure the safety of the fleet, the Japanese put 4 of the most powerful armored cruisers in front as the avant-garde. And Heihachiro Togo was standing on the bridge of the Nisshin at this time, looking into the distance.

"Huh?!" At this time, a faint pillar of smoke in the distance attracted the attention of Heihachiro Togo. A torpedo boat was sent to reconnoitre, and after about two hours, the destroyer brought the news that shocked all the Japanese - the Spanish fleet had been spotted in the distance, but only one battleship remained, covered in wounds. Look at the ship type should be the flagship of the Spaniards! And this news has finally exploded the long-accumulated worries of the Japanese! The American fleet did and crushed the Spanish fleet in one turn! This American is also *** too powerful, right? Heihachiro Togo also had some drums in his heart.

"Inform Commander Kayama." Togo Heihachiro pondered for a moment and then gave an order, and then ordered the fleet to follow, at this time the power in his hands can be described as crushing, it is not difficult to kill this half-dead battleship, but Togo Heihachiro wants to get more benefits, for example, the information provided by the Spaniards, and. A full-fledged battleship!

"Lieutenant Commander Jericho, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I hope that you will persuade the Spanish warship to surrender on behalf of the Imperial Navy, and if we can, we can at least avoid a battle and save many lives." As Japan's godfather, the Japanese Navy's participation in the war will naturally be followed by British Royal Navy officers. At the same time, it undertakes the task of contact. John. Jericho was fortunate enough to board one of the most elite ships of the Japanese Navy. Walk with Heihachiro Togo.

"In order to extinguish the hatred and save more lives, I am willing to persuade the Spanish fleet to surrender on behalf of the Royal Navy, of course, provided that if the other side accepts your demand, the Japanese fleet must be treated accordingly, and some of the things that happened in the Qing-Japanese War must not happen again, especially when I take the glory of the British Royal Navy as a guarantee." John. Jericho was disgusted with the conduct of the Japanese, whether it was undeclared war or massacre. Normally he is just disgusted, but if the British are to be the third party, then some problems must be clarified! And paper documents must be left!

Heihachiro Togo quickly negotiated everything, and then it took the entire Japanese fleet more than an hour to finally bring the last remaining Spanish battleship into the rangefinder's field of view. At this point, they were a little wilted, because they didn't know why the battleship suddenly stopped! Go with the flow under the action of the waves.

"it!" At this time, when she saw a series of smoke appear on the sea level, Severa had a feeling in her heart! What's going on with this? Even if the American fleet chased after it, it should have come from the south, did the Americans overtake themselves and then intercept themselves in the north? Or maybe even the port of Manila has been occupied and come back to block itself? That's too much to talk about, right?

Although the Spanish Navy can't fight a war, there is a skill that is very NB, that is, the sea valve sinks itself! The sea valve of the ammunition depot was the first to be opened, and the main gun ammunition depot at the head and tail was the first to enter the water, and the turbulent sea water swallowed up the few shells that did not go out at all in the ammunition depot, and the draft of the battleship increased by more than half a meter, but at the critical moment, there was a problem with the sea valve in the power compartment of the hull. I don't know if it's rusty or stuck, but it just can't be opened anyway!

The so-called survival can not be death, it is said that this state is said, it is said that a battleship wants to sink itself, it is quite easy, open the sea valve, detonate the ammunition depot can make a battleship disappear from the sea quickly, but the current situation is too bad, the sea valve in the middle of the hull is broken, it can't be opened, it is almost impossible to sink itself, don't look at the head and tail into a lot of water, but how to say that Baron Vittorio is powerful, the length of the main armor box designed by others is very large, and the redundancy is also very large, even if the ammunition depot is flooded, As long as the core power compartment does not enter the water, the battleship can at least float on still water. This was supposed to be a good thing, but now it has become the thing that annoys Evera the most! Originally, there were still torpedoes that could explode on their own, but when they were engaged in the battle with the American fleet, the bow of the ship was seriously flooded, and the torpedo compartment was already ready for fishing!

"Okay, let's not talk about it, if it's an American fleet, prepare to raise the white flag and surrender!" Sevela prepared for the worst, but when the shadow of the ship in the distance gradually became clear, Sevela was messy again! Because he saw a situation that he would have never imagined! 4 Nisshin-type armored cruisers appeared on the surface of the sea! And the Hinomaru flag flying high above made these Spanish fleet commanders fall on the deck!
