"These ships of the African Navy are inherently inferior to the warships of our French Navy, but their bravery is not possessed by our Navy." Edmund put down his binoculars after this complete victory and said with emotion:

At this time, Morris, the captain of the battleship Brittany on the side, answered: "Commander, those black warships have begun to retreat, should we immediately start a pursuit." Fight to eliminate them in one fell swoop. ”

Edmund did not answer directly after hearing the words of Maurice, the captain of the battleship Brittany, but said to himself: "France also needs such warriors, they have the spirit of the Orientals who are not afraid of death. ”

"Your Excellency, the navy of these Africans must be annihilated in one fell swoop, and the interests of the French Republic on the African continent will be further secured. At the same time, it can also solve the crisis facing Madagascar as quickly as possible, and it is not possible to be merciful now. Morris continued.

Edmund, who was finally moved by what he said, nodded and said, "Order the whole fleet to pursue this group of Africans with all their might, so that the Africans will not escape with one person and one ship!" ”

The French fleet was now in full swing and in full swing, unaware that a web of death would soon bury them in the sea.

The conference room of the Ministry of Defence of the African People's Republic, far from the sea, is also watching this illegal naval showdown, the first time since the establishment of the African People's Republic's Navy that it has faced such a big enemy. Behind this fleet stands the French Republic, which is known as the first army in Europe, and their naval strength is currently second only to the United Kingdom, so everyone including Li Puyu is paying close attention, this is a battle to test the ability of the Republic's navy, which is also to determine the future survival of their navy and their own strategic deployment.

Li Puyu, who came to the Ministry of National Defense building in person, showed a rare anxiety at this time and walked around the conference room. Soon I will come forward to see if any new telegrams have arrived. At this time, Li Puyu kept muttering: "Is this Yalvis asleep?" Why is there still no news at all? ”

At this time, Nebron smiled and said, "Isn't it just that the chairman has telegraphed that Cao Jun's fleet has fought against the French fleet. Now the navy, which is leading the French, is moving towards the encirclement of our navy. ”

"Well, I thought it had been a long time since there was a telegram." Li Puyu replied casually.

Nebron laughed again at this time, in fact, his mood was more nervous than the chairman of his own family, and he didn't know the battle damage of the navy in this battle.

The French naval fleet pursued Cao Jun's fleet at the highest speed, and due to the different speeds of the ships and the extreme contempt for the African navy, the speed was fast and full horsepower, and the slow ones gradually fell behind, and the formation of the combined fleet gradually widened the distance. On the other hand, the African navy is a small warship that is faster than the French fleet, and has been leading the French fleet.

Seeing the scattered formation of his fleet, Edmund frowned and was about to order all ships to keep the battle formation intact, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from Morris: "A fleet of large warships, a huge fleet has appeared 10 nautical miles away from our western seas. Among them were several large warships. ”

Edmund was taken aback and hurriedly raised his binoculars, through which he found a fleet of warships with a large number of warships heading towards him at full speed. The small fleet that had been driven by itself had stopped fleeing at this time, and instead had an attitude of fighting to the death in the face of its own pursuit.

"Where did the battleships come from, the British?" Edmund muttered that he had a vague feeling that he had been caught in the trap of these Africans.

The flagship of the murderous commander of the Third Detachment, Elvis, of the African-class battleship Republic, had swooped down on the French naval fleet at a speed of up to 33 knots. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. His old buddy Cao Jun, that kid, and his detachment have already made great sacrifices to achieve this strategic goal. Now it's your turn.

"Your Excellency, a large number of warships of unknown nationality have also appeared in our rear, and they are approaching us at the fastest speed!" The voice of Maurice, the captain of the battleship Brittany, became even more tense.

This is the first detachment led by Commander Jarvis himself, and at this time our Commander Jarvis is sitting majestically on the deck of his flagship Africa. He said to his chief of staff, Yi Laizhe: "Send a telegram to the Ministry of Defense saying that the first, second, and fourth fleets of our navy have completed the encirclement of the French invading warships. The time has come for the First Fight to become famous. Our naval forces are about to begin encircling and annihilating the French naval fleet. Navy Commander Yarvis salutes, Navy Commander Yarwe. ”

Edmund now finally saw the true face of the Africans' fleet. This is the main fleet of the really heavy Africans, and everything that was before was a conspiracy of these Africans. Now I have completely fallen into a huge conspiracy.

"Order the whole fleet to fight in a column-like formation! Rapid maneuvering. Edmund shouted frantically with all his might, whether the French army can retreat in its entirety depends on this desperate fight. The fleet of the Africans was casually superior to itself in tonnage. But they had only just been formed, and I was confident that I could get them out intact.

"Fire! Avenge the death of your comrades in the Third Fleet. Elvis, who was the first to storm the battlefield, gave the order to attack. The three 406-mm guns on the No. 1 turret on the forward deck of the battleship Republic let out angry roars at the same time. The French Sufflen-class heavy cruiser Diplais was in bad luck, the right chord of the hull was directly hit by two shells, and the 406 mm shells directly penetrated the deck and exploded in the through-cabin. The hull was then torn in two. Then it slowly sank into the sea. In particular, the captain who was commanding the battle of his own warship, as a veteran of World War I, was killed by his own cannonball in the ship. Go straight to your own God. However, a destroyer of the unforgiving African fleet fired several shells at him, and a large number of soldiers were killed by these shrapnel.

Five minutes after the Second Squadron engaged the French warships, the First Fleet, which had been copied from behind, quickly joined the battle circle. The only battleship of the First Fleet, the Africa, quickly joined forces with the Second Fleet's flagship, the Republic, and attacked directly at the only remaining battleship of the French army, the Brittany. The two warships quickly broke through the interceptor warships of the French fleet and approached the Brittany, so the two battleships caught the Brittany from the left and the right, and the battleship attacked the Brittany from their respective port side and right chord. Although the French battleship Brittany fought back with all its guns. But compared to the African-class battleships, which are a generation more powerful and advanced than themselves, it is not a class contest at all. Plus the French sailors were inferior to the Orientals in their will to fight. But when life and death were at stake, these sailors still operated the warship to dodge the shells from the Africans, and returned fire from time to time.
