At about eight o'clock in the morning on January 22, 3014 in the Tang calendar, in the bridge of the Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleship Yongxiang, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet, said to Wang Chengliang with a solemn face: "Commander-in-chief, the two destroyers responsible for reconnaissance of our First Fleet have discovered the combined fleet of the navies of Yingluoba, Shalad, Noomi, Monia, and Rierland, and are approaching Huifeng Port, and it seems that the other party wants to have a decisive battle at sea with our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. ”

Wang Chengliang asked calmly: "What is the scale of the combined fleet of the five navies?" ”

Yuan Fan said in a deep voice: "The number of enemy warships is too large, and the two destroyers responsible for reconnaissance can't be counted at all, and they can only be described as overwhelming." ”

Wang Chengliang said in a firm tone: "No matter how big the combined fleet of the five navies is, since they are coming to Huifeng Port, then we have to face the battle, send a telegram to the second, fourth, and fifth fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, as well as the second, third, and fourth fleets of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, and immediately join us and prepare to fight to the death with the combined fleet of the five navies!" ”

At this time, sixty-one super dreadnought battleships, thirty-two battle cruisers, two armored cruiser formations, two light cruiser formations and four destroyer formations of the First Fleet of the Tang Imperial Royal Navy were in the sea area more than 30 nautical miles north of Huifeng Port.

After the Chinese New Year, Su Yi suddenly added hundreds of warships to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, which immediately increased the strength of the royal navies of the two countries by several percent, but then there was a very embarrassing thing, that is, the berths in Huifeng Port were no longer enough to be used by several main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, which had surged in strength.

The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire had long learned that the main forces of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi had gathered together, so that the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire did not dare to disperse several main fleets to the many ports of the entire Tang Empire, so it could only take some warships to stop in Huifeng Port for rest, and some to cruise in the waters near Huifeng Port.

The second, third, and fourth fleets of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire were transferred to Huifeng Port according to Su Yi's order, preparing to join the decisive battle with the combined navies of Yingluoba, Sharad and other countries.

The First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire did not come, and continued to stay in the waters of the Purple Moon Empire, the Gisk Empire, the Orenza Empire, and the Celestial Star Empire to guard against the navies of the two countries.

At present, the second, third and fourth fleets of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire are all resting in Huifeng Port, and the four main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire are in the waters near Huifeng Port.

Of the five main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, only the Third Fleet did not come to Huifeng Port because it was stationed in Huitong Port in the south of the Tang Empire.

Yuan Fan hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Chengliang: "I didn't expect that the main forces of the two navies of Monia and Ruierland have already merged with the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi, so should the Third Fleet stationed in Huitong Port rush over as soon as possible to support, after all, the Third Fleet stayed in Huitong Port to prevent the navies of Monia and Ruierland." ”

Wang Chengliang shook his head and said: "Now let the Third Fleet rush over, it should be too late in time, not to mention that with the seven main fleets of our Datang and Ziyue Royal Navies gathered together, the strength is already strong enough." ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon of January 22, the four main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the three main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire had gathered in the sea area more than 20 nautical miles away from Huifeng Port.

The seven main fleets of the two countries of Datang and Ziyue have eighty-nine super dreadnought battleships, sixty battle cruisers, one hundred and seven dreadnought battleships, and ninety-six former dreadnought battleships, as well as more than 100 large armored cruisers, more than 200 light cruisers, and more than 400 destroyers.

Of course, there is still a big gap between the seven main fleets of Datang and Ziyue in terms of overall scale compared with the combined fleets of the navies of the five countries, and the number of warships in the combined fleets of the navies of the five countries is close to 4,000.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon of 22 January, the seven main fleets of Datang and Ziyue finally discovered the combined fleet of the navies of the five countries that could not be seen at a glance.

In the bridge of the flagship Yongxiang, Wang Chengliang of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire said to Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet, in a deep voice: "Send a telegram to the battleship formations, armored cruiser formations, light cruiser formations, and destroyer formations, according to the tactics formulated before, and the formations must be closely linked with each other. ”

Yuan Fan nodded and said, "Commander-in-chief, rest assured, the emergency measures of our Royal Navy of Datang and Ziyue are very sound, and there will never be any chaos in the command system." ”

After discovering the main forces of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, in the bridge of the Super Dreadnought Battleship, the flagship of the Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Royal Navy, Commander Janis said to the captain of the Bull Vesalius with some excitement: "The main naval force of the Tang Empire has really come out, and the opportunity for our Salad Royal Navy to take revenge has finally arrived!" ”

Captain Vesalius of the Bull put down his binoculars, frowned and said: "I didn't expect that the navy of the Purple Moon Empire actually came to Huifeng Port secretly, and the capital ships of the Datang Empire's navy seem to be more than we control, it seems that if the combined fleet of our five navies wants to win, it will have to pay a lot of price." ”

Commander Denis said indifferently: "Our five-nation naval combined fleet has gathered the largest fleet in the world, even if the Tang Empire Navy has the Purple Moon Empire Navy to help, it still can't escape the fate of defeat, but our five-nation naval combined fleet just took the opportunity to wipe out the main naval force of the Purple Moon Empire, and completely control the sea control in the hands of our Seven Nations Alliance, as for the Tang Empire Navy, a few more capital ships in the Tang Empire's navy, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." ”

After a pause, Commander Denis continued: "According to the tactics formulated by our five commanders before, the mission of our Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet in Sharad is to outflank the other side from the left flank, so let's start acting now!" ”

This can be called the world's largest naval battle, at 2:55 p.m. on January 22, 3014 in the Tang calendar, officially began, the first to fire was the first battleship formation of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire composed of eight Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships.

The eight Nelson-class super dreadnoughts all had three triple 45-caliber 406 mm guns, and the targets they chose for the first round of main gun salvo were several Admiral Gelman-class super dreadnought battleships of the Royal Naval Expeditionary Fleet directly opposite the British Roberta, but unfortunately none of the 72 406 mm shells hit the target.

Immediately, twelve General Gelman-class super dreadnought battleships fired back with 356mm guns, but not a single shell hit.

In the bridge of the Super Dreadnought Battleship Princess Alice, the flagship of the Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet of the British Luoba Royal Navy, Commander Petru put down the binoculars with a solemn face, turned his head to the captain of the Princess Alice Vyachek and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the country, the decisive battle between the combined fleet of the five navies and the navy of the Tang Empire and the Navy of the Purple Moon Empire has begun, and in addition, tell the country that the Navy of the Tang Empire also has a super dreadnought battleship with a main gun caliber of more than four hundred millimeters." ”

Captain Vyachek, the captain of the Princess Alice, immediately frowned and said, "The strength of the Great Tang Empire Navy and the Purple Moon Empire Navy together seems to be much stronger than we expected before, and it seems that this will be a very difficult battle." ”

Commander Petru said in a firm tone: "This naval battle is related to the direction of the entire war, no matter how difficult the process is, our five navies combined fleet must also insist on achieving the final victory!" ”

The scale of the two sides was so great that after the battle, for a long time, only a few super dreadnought battleships on both sides launched a battle of main guns, and the vast majority of warships could only watch the battle from behind.

Amid the rumbling of cannons, it was soon 5:30 p.m., when another violent explosion sounded, and the Royal British Navy's Admiral Gelman-class super dreadnought battleship Antelope was hit by a 406-mm shell and detonated an ammunition magazine, and then the Antelope was almost blown in two and quickly sank to the sea.

Seeing the tragic situation of the Antelope, the commander of the Royal Naval Expeditionary Fleet of the British Luoba Royal Navy, Petru couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's already the fourth, and in less than three hours, our Royal British Navy has sunk four super dreadnought battleships, and many super dreadnought battleships have been injured, what is the situation of the navies of the other four countries?" ”

Captain of the Princess Alice, Vyachek, said: "The Monia Navy has sunk two super dreadnought battleships, the Rillland Navy has not joined the battle because it is behind our Royal Navy and Monia Navy, and so far there have been no losses, the Sharad Navy in charge of outflanking on the left flank has sunk a super dreadnought battleship, and the Noomi Navy in charge of outflanking on the right flank has also lost a super dreadnought battleship. ”

Commander Petru pondered for a moment and said: "I can't continue to grind with the Tang Empire Navy and the Purple Moon Empire Navy like this, after fighting for so long, I really don't want to see a super dreadnought battleship on the other side sunk." ”
