In fact, when the Orenza Navy had just left Port Leon and was about to rush to the Purple Moon Empire's Starfish Harbor, it had already been discovered by the Independent Fleet.

Originally, several destroyers sent by the Independent Fleet to the waters near Port Leon were to monitor the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, and the Independent Fleet was prepared to encircle and annihilate the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy on its way back to the mainland.

However, he did not expect that the commander of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy Denis did not lead the fleet to take the route of the Purple Moon Empire, but took the other route, that is, to bypass the Jisk Empire, the Celestial Star Empire, the Liuyun Empire and the Cangyu Empire, and then return to the mainland of the Sharad Empire.

The Independent Fleet also stationed a lot of warships in Kangshan Harbor and Newport City, but with the strength of the Independent Fleet in these two ports, it is impossible to leave the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy behind.

Although the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet of the Salad Navy was allowed to escape, several destroyers of the Independent Fleet in the waters near Port Leon discovered that the main force of the Orenza Navy had poured out.

Knowing that the main force of the Orenza Navy had all left the port of Leon, Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet, guessed that the Orenza navy left the port of Leon in order to destroy the batch of weapons and ammunition that the Yingluoba Empire had sold to the Purple Moon Empire.

You must know that now the Sharad Empire and the Gisk Empire have withdrawn their troops from the territory of the Purple Moon Empire, and the only one who is still fighting with the Purple Moon Empire is the Orenza Empire.

If the Purple Moon Empire gets that batch of weapons and ammunition from the Yingroba Empire, it can immediately solve the problem of weapons and ammunition for millions of land forces, which the Orenza Empire does not want to see.

After Wang Chengliang asked Su Yi for instructions, he decided not to intercept the main force of the Orensa Navy going north, but Wang Chengliang was no longer ready to let the main force of the Orenza Navy return to Port Leon in the Orenza Empire safely.

This time, Wang Chengliang mobilized a total of three squadrons of battleships of the Independent Fleet, including the first, second, and third fleets, as well as three armored cruiser squadrons, five light cruiser squadrons, and eight destroyer squadrons.

At this time, the three detachments of the battleships of the Independent Fleet were leading numerous formations of armored cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers to encircle the main forces of the Orenza Navy from three directions.

Mihailo, the admiral of the Orenza Empire, saw the independent fleet appearing in the westward direction, and knew that it was impossible for the main force of the Orenza navy led by him to leave without a fight today, so Mihailo immediately ordered the eight dreadnought battleships, six former dreadnought battleships and ten ironclad battleships in the fleet to form a battle line and meet the second detachment of the battleships of the independent fleet, trying to seize the T-shape.

The second squadron of the battleships of the Independent Fleet has a total of four warframes, including the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth warframes, and these four warships together have four Nevada-class super dreadnought battleships, six captured super dreadnought battleships of the Sharad Navy, six King-class dreadnought battleships, and six giant-class dreadnought battleships.

By the time the First and Third Fleets of the battleships of the Independent Fleet also surrounded, the Orenza Navy had already had one dreadnought, two former dreadnoughts, and one ironclad battleship, which had been sunk by the battleships of the Second Fleet.

In the bridge of the flagship Crown, the captain of the Crown, Grusha, saw the independent fleet pressing from the other two directions, and shouted in horror to the Admiral Mihailo: "Marquis Mihailo, this is a trap!" This is a trap prepared by the independent fleet for our Royal Navy of Orenza! Now what do we do? ”

Mihailo hesitated and said, "Do we have a chance to break through?" ”

Captain Grusha of the Crown said bitterly: "Marquis Mihailo, look at the northeast, there are almost twenty battle cruisers of the independent fleet, and with so many battle cruisers, even if we can get away with breaking through, we will be caught up by these battle cruisers." ”

Mihailo sighed and said: "I didn't expect that our Royal Navy of Orenza had just won a brilliant victory, and in the blink of an eye, it would be in a desperate situation, Grusha, what do you have in mind?" ”

Grusha hesitated, "Marquis Mihailo, I listen to you!" ”

Mikhailo gave Grusha an encouraging look, and then said: "Grusha, if you have any ideas, speak up!" At present, our Royal Navy in Orenza has reached the point of life and death, what do you have to scruple about! ”

Grusha cursed in his heart, in fact, from Mihailo's words, the intention of surrendering had already been revealed, but Mihailo was unwilling to bring it up himself, so he insisted on letting Grusha throw bricks and stones.

But once Grusha proposes to surrender, and when the independent fleet releases the surrendered Orenza naval officers and sailors, the emperor of the Orenza Empire will definitely hold Grusha responsible, who will let Grusha propose surrender!

So Grusha didn't want to open this mouth, "That...... Marquis Mihailo, my mind is so confused right now that I can't think of anything to do. ”

"Grusha, think about it again, now that our Royal Navy of Orenza is in a desperate situation, what can be done to prevent tens of thousands of officers and men of our Royal Navy of Orenza from dying in the sea?"

Mikhailo very much hoped that the matter of surrender would be brought up by Grusha, so that even if he returned to the country in the future, Emperor Modest would hold himself accountable and push Grusha out to block the gun.

It's a pity that Grusha is not stupid, "Marquis Mihailo, it's up to you to decide!" No matter what decision you make, I'm here to support it! ”

Just as Mihailo and Grusha were arguing with each other, there was another violent explosion on the sea, and an ironclad battleship of the Orenza Navy seemed to have been detonated in the ammunition compartment, and was blown into two in an instant, and quickly sank to the surface of the sea.

Mihailo and Grusha's faces were panicked, and both of them fell silent for an instant, both of them considering whether to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the entire Royal Navy of Orenza, and it was up to them to offer surrender.

At this moment, Nochka, the first mate of the Crown, couldn't help but say: "Marquis Mihailo, there is no longer a fight, in order for more young men to survive, it is better to surrender to the independent fleet!" ”

The words of the first mate Nochka immediately relieved Mikhailo and Grusha, and Mikhailo immediately said: "Nochka, you are very right! In order to keep as many people alive as possible, pass on my orders to the ships and raise the white flag! ”
