On the evening of January 23, 3014 in the Tang calendar, in the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Su Yi couldn't help but gasp after reading the battle report sent by Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

Although Su Yi knew that in a naval battle of this scale, the royal navies of Datang and Ziyue would definitely suffer a lot of losses, but when he really saw a series of loss data, Su Yi still felt a burst of pain.

Fourteen of the Tang Imperial Navy's super dreadnought battleships alone were sunk, including one Colorado-class, two Queen Elizabeth-class, two Bavaria-class, three Revenge-class, four Ise-class, and two Iron Duke-class.

In addition, the combined royal navies of the Tang Dynasty and Ziyue also had ten battle cruisers, eighteen dreadnought battleships, twenty former dreadnought battleships, seventeen large armored cruisers, thirty-two light cruisers and sixty-eight destroyers also sunk in the naval battle, and many battleships were seriously damaged.

Su Yi sighed and said to He Yunfei, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire: "I didn't expect this naval battle to be so tragic, our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire combined, there are more than 60,000 officers and soldiers killed and missing, and the combined fleet of the navies of the five countries has not withdrawn, and the two sides will inevitably have to fight again." ”

He Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after all, this time the five great powers have almost taken out their navy background, and it is normal to fight so fiercely, fortunately, the losses of the combined fleet of the five navies are even more, and if we continue to fight so hard, our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire should be able to achieve the final victory." ”

Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "The Royal Air Force has a group of bombers, stationed at an airfield not far from Huifeng Port, can you dispatch this group of bombers to attack the combined fleet of the navies of the five countries." ”

He Yunfei immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the bombers equipped by the Royal Air Force cannot carry out dive bombing, and the threat to warships is not great, and the warships of the navies of various countries are currently equipped with anti-aircraft guns. ”

Su Yi pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that I have to go to Huifeng Port again in person." ”

He Yunfei couldn't help but be stunned, "Now that the war between the two sides has not ended, Your Majesty will go to Huifeng Port at this time to ......"

Su Yi suddenly interrupted He Yunfei's words, "I have a few new battleships in my hand. ”

It turned out that when the combined fleet of the five navies retreated, more than a dozen seriously injured battleships were captured by the royal navies of Datang and Ziyue, including a super dreadnought battleship, two battle cruisers, and two dreadnought battleships.

Su Yi, who was in Chang'an City, immediately received a prompt from the system, because he captured the above five battleships, he rewarded Su Yi with an American Colorado-class super dreadnought, two British Prestige-class battlecruisers and two German King-class dreadnought battleships.

I don't know how long this decisive battle at sea between the Royal Navy of Datang and Ziyue and the combined fleet of the five navies will last, so Su Yi is ready to leave for Huifeng Port immediately, and at a critical time, the Royal Navy of Datang and Ziyue has these five more powerful warships, which can even change the outcome of this decisive battle.

At about ten o'clock in the evening of January 23, in the bridge of the Yongxiang Super Dreadnought Battleship, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Tang Empire, Wang Chengliang put down the telegram in his hand, and said to Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet, with a slight sigh of relief: "The emperor is coming to Huifeng Port, and he will depart from Chang'an City tonight." ”

Yuan Fan asked puzzledly: "What does the emperor mean by coming to Huifeng Port at this time?" ”

A smile appeared on Wang Chengliang's face and said, "The emperor is going to add a few more warships to the royal navies of our Tang Dynasty and Ziyue. ”

When Yuan Fan heard this, he suddenly realized: "Today we captured one super dreadnought battleship, two battle cruisers and two dreadnought battleships, and according to the principle of the Creator, we will reward the emperor with five battleships." ”

The high-ranking officials of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire were all cyborgs, so Su Yi did not hide from the high-ranking officers of the two navies that he could get rewards for capturing enemy warships.

Wang Chengliang suddenly said with emotion: "I hope we can capture more warships above the level of dreadnought battleships in the future, so that we can try to make up for some of the losses of our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, by the way, thirty submarines have set off, right?" ”

Yuan Fan nodded and said, "I have already set off two hours ago, and I hope that thirty submarines can bring us some good news." ”

The submarine force of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire had a total of 60 VIIC submarines, and before the decisive battle with the combined fleet of the five navies, 30 submarines came to Huifeng Port, and the remaining 30 submarines remained on the east coast of the Tang Empire.

The thirty submarines that came to Huifeng Harbor did not participate in the previous sea battle in order to avoid accidental damage, after all, the sonar detectors equipped with the warships of the royal navies of Datang and Ziyue could not distinguish between friend and foe.

On the pitch-black sea, thirty submarines of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire were moving at a speed of 17 knots.

Xu Zhenjie, the captain of the U18 submarine, said to the first mate Chen Zeng with some excitement: "I heard that there are still hundreds of battleships in the joint fleet of the five navies, and our U18 is going to kill tonight!" ”

Chief Officer Chen Zeng's face showed a trace of worry, "The previous attacks on the Monia Navy and the Ruierlan Navy by our U18 and U25 have already exposed the fact that our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has submarines, and it will definitely equip the warships of the five navies with more depth charges. ”

Xu Zhenjie shrugged his shoulders and said: "How can there be no risk in fighting, in the previous war, the royal navies of our two countries suffered heavy losses, no matter how difficult the night attack is tonight, our thirty submarines will also have to bite off a piece of meat on the combined fleet of the five navies, and relieve some pressure on the main forces of the royal navies of our two countries, anyway, the suicide notes of the brothers have been left, let's not think too much about it next, and strive to kill a few more enemy battleships!" ”

First mate Chen Zeng smiled slightly, "The captain is right, now that the arrow is ready to fly, it is useless to consider other things." ”

At this time, a soldier handed a telegram to Xu Zhenjie, Xu Zhenjie took a look at it, and immediately ordered: "Immediately fill the water storage tank with water and prepare to dive!" ”

At about one o'clock in the morning on January 24, Petru, the commander of the expeditionary fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Roga Navy, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound of continuous explosions, and when Petru came to the bridge of the Princess Alice, the flagship of the Royal Navy of British Ropa, the captain of the Princess Alice, Grischut, immediately reported to Petru urgently: "Commander, we have been attacked by enemy submarines, and warships of various countries are currently dropping depth charges on suspicious places. ”

Petru glanced out of the bridge observation window, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he found that more than half of the Royal Angloba's Prince Afktar-class super dreadnought battleship, the Red Pearl, had sunk into the sea.

"What are the current losses of our Royal Navy in Yingluoba?" Commander Petru asked in a deep voice.

The captain of the Princess Alice, Grischut, smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, the enemy submarine attack was too sudden, and our Royal Navy of British Hippa had five super dreadnought battleships, four battle cruisers, two dreadnought battleships and two former dreadnought battleships attacked almost at the same time, and the captains of two super dreadnought battleships, one battle cruiser, one dreadnought battleship, and two former dreadnought battleships have already given the order to abandon the ship. ”

When Commander Petru heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Convey my order, let all ships not spare depth charges, and blow up and sink all the enemy's submarines under the sea to the bottom of the sea!" ”

Compared with the angry Petru, Xu Zhenjie was in a very good mood, the Royal Navy of British Luoba, the Red Pearl Super Dreadnought battleship that was about to sink, was attacked by the U18 submarine, and the four 533mm torpedoes fired by the U18 submarine at the Red Pearl all hit.

Among them, there was a 533 mm torpedo that penetrated the side armor of the bow of the Red Pearl, detonated the torpedo compartment of the Red Pearl, and almost blew up the bow of the Red Pearl.

However, Xu Zhenjie soon became nervous, the depth charges equipped by the Yingluoba Navy are much more advanced than those of the Monia Navy and the Ruierlan Navy, and they can even explode nearly 200 meters below the sea surface, which poses a very big threat to the submarines of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

After Xu Zhenjie felt the vibration of the submarine, he asked the first mate Chen Zeng in a deep voice: "What is the depth of the dive now?" ”

"Captain, you've dived to one hundred and ninety meters."

"Continue to dive, at least to two hundred and ten meters, judging from the amplitude of the shock, the depth charges dropped by the enemy are not far from our U18."

The U18 submarine was lucky, and finally escaped the enemy's first wave of depth charges, but not all the submarines of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire had good luck, Xu Zhenjie learned from the telegram that five of his submarines lost contact with the enemy's depth charges, and what does the loss of contact mean, Xu Zhenjie knows very well in his heart.

Xu Zhenjie glanced at the watch on his wrist, and then ordered to the first mate Chen Zeng: "Keep the current speed and continue to sneak, be ready to float at any time, and launch a torpedo attack on the enemy's battleship again!" ”
