"After a full six hours of fighting, I didn't expect that in the Far East, we could actually see such fierce battles! The Beiyang Fleet is finished, but their fighting and courage will forever go down in history! Felimante said after looking at the Japanese fleet in the distance and the Beiyang Fleet that had collected the people who had fallen into the water and evacuated.

Who won this battle? Almost everyone present believed that the Japanese fleet had finally won, and that the Beiyang Fleet had lost almost all its cruisers after this battle! There are only 3 big ships left! The Kaiyuan was better, it could fight and run, while the remaining Dingzhen was full of speed, and there were fewer secondary guns, and it was unusually vulnerable to torpedo boats without the protection of cruisers. It is impossible to go to sea to fight again.

But at the same time, almost everyone also believes that the performance of the Beiyang Fleet in this battle is much better than that of Japan! Whether it was Phillimant, Makanov or Ingnoor, they all believed that if it were not for the superiority gained by several key tactical maneuvers of the Beiyang Fleet, the Beiyang Fleet would have been defeated 2 hours ago! I can't even go back to Dingzhen!

At the beginning of the war, the Beiyang Fleet was 12 warships! The total tonnage is 38,000 tons, of which in addition to the Kaiyuan, the rest of the warships are old ships before 1890, except for three 7,000-ton ironclad ships, the average tonnage of other warships is only 2,000 tons, Chaoyong, Yangwei is only 1,350 tons, Guangjia, Guangbing and even smaller! These 4 battleships are completely mixed up in terms of performance!

And what about the Japanese fleet? There were a total of 14 warships, although the number was only 2 more, but the total tonnage was 50,000 tons, and although only one cruiser Kasuga was 7,000 tons, it had 8 new cruisers that were commissioned after 1890! When it comes to firepower, one Takasago has more firepower than two Kokuen-class cruisers! Super brave and mighty, Guangjia and Guangbing, the four warships can't beat a Takasago! THE 10-INCH GUNS OF CHAOYONG AND YANGWEI WERE EXTREMELY SLOW AND DIFFICULT TO PLAY, WHILE GUANGJIA AND GUANGYI ONLY HAD 2 150MM GUNS AND 3 120MM GUNS RESPECTIVELY, AND ZHIYUAN WAS NOT BAD, ONLY 3 210MM GUNS AND 1 150MM GUN HAD SIDE-FIRING FIREPOWER.

And the end result? The Beiyang Fleet had 24,000 tons of warships left, and 14,000 tons of warships were lost, while the Japanese fleet lost 3 cutting-edge cruisers, 2 old ironclads and 1 unprotected cruiser. The total tonnage of the lost battleships was 20,000 tons, and if you consider the mass of the battleships, the Japanese suffered even more!

"With such backward equipment, it can fight a tactical victory, and I have to admit that the quality of the Beiyang Fleet is absolutely first-class, and even if it is fought by the British Navy, it may not be able to achieve better results." Filimante finally wrote in the report.

"In this battle, the German Navy's armored cruiser Mainz performed very well, which can be described as amazing and turned the tide! This battleship almost changed the outcome of this battle and even the war! If the Northern Fleet had 2 Munich-class armored cruisers! Then the Japanese fleet simply had no chance of winning! This weapon can be considered a strategic force for a medium-sized country! Even for a country like Russia, having a certain number of armored cruisers of the Munich type would give them an advantage in the Far East! We must prevent a potentially hostile country from acquiring this new cruiser! ”

In another report, Phillimant specifically pointed out that he would try to prevent the Russian fleet from acquiring such a formidable battleship as the Munich type armored cruiser. The shipbuilding industry of the Russians is actually not at a high level, and the premise of the start of the army after 1895 is also to obtain the full support of the French shipbuilding industry, but unfortunately, although the French shipbuilding industry has a good subsystem, but the overall design is more than a coffee table, and Baron Vittorio does not know where it is worse.

The Russians in this plane are much better in terms of external conditions than they have historically been, and at least so far, the relationship between Russia and Germany can be described as intimate, and when Felimant's report was sent to the British Admiralty, Lord Hamilton threw the document aside with a wry smile, because just yesterday Russia had received two completed Munich-type armored cruisers from Germany! And the two cruisers, after a short period of acclimatization, were going to the Far East in 1895!

And to the surprise of the British, the Russians did not just have Munich-class armored cruisers! While the British were contemplating how to counter the Russian cruisers in the Far East, two monstrous beast souls had formed over the Brom-Foss shipyard!

The reaction of the British is not mentioned for the time being, the Russians and Germans are quite satisfied with the outcome of this battle, to be honest, except for Ruprecht, they do not care whether the Beiyang naval division lives or dies, and the Germans are satisfied because this actual battle once again proved the strength of the Munich-type armored cruisers, which made the position of the German Navy in the world navy invisibly elevated!

You must know that the Germans still have 6 such cruisers in their hands, and even in private, the German Navy top brass thinks that this cruiser formation is enough to hang the cruiser formation of any country in this plane except the British! In open sea operations, the hardware attribute is almost invincible! As for the British? Not about how high the quality of British battleships was, but how many there were! And the British also have a global base BUFF bonus!

And in addition to the Russians, other countries in the world with naval ideas have also set their sights on Germany! The Argentines were complacent about the Munich-class armored cruiser they bought, while the Chileans said that they were fortunate that they had sold the scumbag Amster cruiser for a good price, and that they could buy a new ship with a little more money!

As a result, the two rival countries do not stop doing it! Argentina said it needed to buy a new ship. And Chile said that it had to buy a new ship for its own safety! In addition to the fact that these two countries have placed orders within a week, even the Spanish people are considering whether they should reduce one self-built battleship and then use it to supplement another Munich-type armored cruiser?

However, like the British, after learning of the results of this naval battle, almost everyone believed that the Beiyang Fleet had already existed in name only! Although the 2 ironclad ships are still there, it is obvious that they can no longer attack and fight in the absence of escort, and the Zhiyuan was beaten badly, and only the skeleton was left in many places. When an American merchant ship passed by, I saw Zhiyuan, who was slowly sailing, and even thought it was a ghost ship! It is also very difficult to fix it in a short period of time.

Now all countries think that the only warship in the Beiyang Fleet that can fight is Kaiyuan, but no matter how narrow the Yellow Sea is, how much can this battleship do? Almost all the naval powers of the world have removed the Beiyang Fleet from the chessboard of this war.

The second more is ~~~, and there is a more at night. Keep asking for favorites!
