Chapter 266: Battle of Annihilation at Sea (3)

"General Rejotz is not good! General Rayoz is not good! The lookout came again to disturb Reyoz's dreams.

"Bastard! Can't you call the report first when you come in? Rayotz said upset.

"General, a large number of enemy ships have been discovered, and they are also the kind of terrible monsters that emit black smoke."

"Could it be that the enemy ships are catching up?" Leyoz asked, confused.

"No, I observe, it's another fleet."

"Come with me!" After putting on his military uniform, Reoz looked around for his hat, but later gave up the search and hurried up to the lookout.

As soon as Reyoz stepped onto the deck, he saw the black-smoking ironclad battleship already in front of the "Bradrod".

"It's not good, the enemy ship is going to open fire." Leyoz exclaimed.

That's right, Leyoz is right, the battleship in front of him with black smoke is the "Wuchang No. 1", the First Fleet led by Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong received a telegram from Gao Chengjun's army, knowing that his side had exchanged fire with the Dutch fleet, so he led his fleet to help in the battle, but he did not expect to meet the "Bradrod" here.

How could Zheng Chenggong let go of the "Bradrod"? Therefore, dozens of artillery pieces of "Wuchang No. 1" were all aimed at the "Brederod" and wanted to sink it.

Just as Leyoz exclaimed, the "Wuchang No. 1" opened fire, and countless shells poured down like the "Bradrod", and all of a sudden, the deck of the "Bradrod" burst into flames.

Reyoz was killed on the spot, and because the "Bradrod" had no cover from other ships, it was bombarded by the concentrated fire of the "Wuchang No. 1", and soon two large holes were pierced, and the battleship began to sink due to the continuous pouring of seawater into the bilge.

The two holes pierced were so large that the sailors could not block the openings, so the "Bradrod" sank quickly.

"The battleship is sinking! Let's get out of the way! ”

Someone shouted loudly, and all of a sudden, sailors rushed onto the deck and jumped into the sea to escape.

Due to the rapid sinking of the battleship, more than half of the words have sunk, eliminating the need for the survivors to jump into the sea, and the sailors standing on the first deck have already been covered by the sea water over their waists, and they can swim directly in the sea.

The boatswain found a life raft, and his first concern was the captain's safety, so he hurried to the cockpit, which was on the second deck, and when the boatswain came to the cockpit, the sea water also flooded, and the captain Beder was still in the cockpit, his hands clenched the broken rudder, and his eyes were staring brightly ahead.

The water had swept into the cockpit, up to Captain Bedel's shins, and the boatswain tried to push open the half-closed hatch, which he couldn't do because of the pressure of the water.

"Mr. Bedel, the Bradrode is sinking, get out of here!" The boatswain shouted to Captain Bedel.

Beder looked straight ahead, did not look at the boatswain, and said, "Go away!" I'm the captain of the ship, the ship is here, the ship is sinking and the people are dying, you don't have to worry about me anymore. ”

The boatswain knew that it would not be useful to say anything now, and that he would not be able to walk himself if the time dragged on too long, so he threw a life jacket to the captain and led several sailors himself to leave the "Bradrod" on a life raft.

……

Zheng Chenggong stood in the command cabin of the "Wuchang No. 1" and watched the "Bradrod" on fire slowly sinking, and he ordered the shelling to stop, and the entire crew of the ship watched the enemy ship that had been hit sink to the bottom of the sea little by little.

"Organize to save people immediately!" Zheng Chenggong ordered.

As a result, the flag-bearers on the battleship signaled to the sailing ships behind them to go to sea to save people.

After two hours of hard work, they rescued seventy-three Dutch sailors, and the "Bradrod" was one hundred and twenty-five men.

Zheng Chenggong telegraphed to Gao Chengjun to report the battle situation here, and at the same time, he also learned that Gao Cheng's side had ended the battle and sunk all fourteen Dutch ships.

In this battle, a total of 15 Dutch ships were sunk, and this ostentatious fleet was completely annihilated, and not a single ship escaped.

Of the 800 sailors in the Netherlands, 560 were captured.

……

The news of the victory reached Yunnan through a telegram, and Gao Junshan was preparing a lesson in Yunnan to teach Burma a lesson, and received a telegram from Gao Cheng's army about the complete victory, and he was very proud of his son.

The victory in the naval battle on the battlefield against the Netherlands shocked Europe, and Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and other countries demanded the establishment of friendly relations with the Chinese state, especially Britain, France and Spain, and also demanded that the Chinese country send envoys to each other.

Gao Junshan told Bailisha that if the Europeans wanted to establish diplomatic relations with us, they could not do so, and the premise was that the complete territorial rights of the Huaxia State must be recognized.

At the same time, Gao Junshan received a call from the Persian general Shayir, who told him that they had thwarted a military coup and strengthened Abbasid II's rule, and that he himself had gained more trust from Abbasid II.

Now, Shair is still worried about the Ottoman Empire, he hopes to get enough military assistance from Huaxia, and if he can get Mini guns from Huaxia, if there are Minnie guns to equip their army, they are not afraid of the Ottoman Empire invading again.

Gao Junshan called back to Shair that the Minny gun could only equip Shayr's core troops, not all of their armies extensively, hoping he could understand. If the Ottoman army dared to invade the Persian kingdom again, the Huaxia kingdom would firmly stand by the side of the Persian kingdom and send troops to help the Persian kingdom and fight against the Ottoman empire.

After receiving Gao Junshan's telegram, Shayl sent another telegram to Gao Junshan, requesting that Huaxia send a standing army to Persia, just as Huaxia sent an army in Korea.

Gao Junshan called Shair back again, Huaxia will definitely send troops there, but not now, when the time is ripe in the future, Huaxia will establish a naval base in the Persian Gulf, hoping that the Persian Kingdom will provide logistical support.

At noon on the 11th day, Gao Junshan received a telegram from Shail, saying that he would actively cooperate with Huaxia to establish a naval base in the Persian Gulf and hoped that the Persian Kingdom and Huaxia would jointly form a joint fleet.

Of course, Gao Junshan agreed to the formation of a joint fleet, but he did not yet have a very clear direction for the tasks and objectives of the joint fleet, so he hoped that the two countries would first hold consultations to discuss the importance of establishing a joint fleet and the tasks it would undertake.
