The four warships commanded by Xie Hui slowly began to press the devils. 【】

As a main ship's gun shell accurately hit the ammunition compartment of the devil ship, the violent explosion instantly tore the hull in half. The devil's fleet, which has only one flagship left, has completely become the fat meat that the Wehrmacht has bitten into its mouth.

"Commander, it's over, we have the flagship left, the enemy is besieging us from all directions, and we can't stop it at all!" The chief of staff, with a desperate face, reported with panic as soon as he rushed in.

Lieutenant General Kaohsiung's face was very pale, and after hearing this expected result, he actually smiled.

But the chief of staff still heard a hint of despair in the brief laughter. However, at the moment of life and death, the chief of staff couldn't manage so much at all, so he stared at Lieutenant General Kaohsiung and continued to ask: "Commander, what should we do next?" ”

"Raise the white flag and surrender to the Wehrmacht. In addition, the Wehrmacht was shouted by clear code telegram that they must ensure the search and rescue of all officers and men who have fallen into the water. Otherwise, we would rather blow up and sink the flagship than surrender. ”

As soon as the chief of staff was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung continued: "Chief of Staff, I order you to surrender to the Wehrmacht with the two remaining warships of the fleet and all the officers and men who are still alive, so that one day you can return to Japan with them. ”

"And what about you, Commander?" The chief of staff asked subconsciously.

"Me? Even if he returned to Japan, he would be court-martialed. The loss of more than 20 of the empire's newest ships before and after, someone must bear such a big responsibility. If I'm dead, the Empire won't hold you accountable. ”

"Rather than returning to the Imperial Court and being executed by military law, it is better to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor as a warrior here."

"However, before I apologize, I have two things to do: first, order the fleet in the direction of Dalian to retreat immediately and return to the empire."

"Second, send a telegram to the Reich and tell the military department how we were defeated. In particular, let the military department know that the Wehrmacht was armed not only with torpedo boats, but also with quite a few submarines. If the Imperial Navy does not have a good way of dealing with submarines, it is better not to send the Navy to the Wehrmacht here to die in a short time. ”

Whether it is a devil's flagship or a supply ship, it is a treasure for Xie Hui.

After consulting Chen Jiliang and Yang Xingguo, who were far away in Yingkou, the devil finally received a reply from the Wehrmacht, agreeing to their surrender. However, it was necessary to ensure that the two ships were not subjected to any internal damage, otherwise, the Wehrmacht would not guarantee the safety of the nearly 1,000 Japanese naval officers and men in the sea area at war.

In order not to increase the naval strength of the Wehrmacht, even if he surrendered, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung only wanted to leave two shell warships for the Wehrmacht.

But after reading the Wehrmacht's clear callback, he directly hesitated.

More than a thousand well-trained naval officers were certainly more important to the Empire than warships. As long as there is silver, the Empire can build more advanced warships. But a good admiral, no amount of silver can buy it back.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung decisively ordered his subordinates not to sabotage the warship.

Less than two hours after Yang Xingguo received Xie Hui's telegram, a telegram was also sent from Dalian.

The Japanese fleet, which had been operating in the sea area 50 kilometers outside the pier, suddenly retreated.

"Well, we've finally broken this crisis. The Japanese Navy must have lost forty or fifty warships in our hands. Such a big loss is enough for the devil to take a good stop. ”

Chen Jiliang was also very happy, but he didn't forget to remind him: "Marshal, in today's naval battle, our submarine brigade must have been exposed." In the future, it will definitely be even more difficult to use submarines to sneak attack devil warships. ”

"There will always be gains and losses, and it is impossible for us to take advantage of all the advantages. Besides, even if it is not exposed now, the submarine forces will be exposed sooner or later. After all, our submarines have to dock, and the devil intelligence officers are not vegetarians. ”

"As for the future, the little devils are improving, and we are also improving, and the submarine group will definitely have new tactics when the time comes."

Yang Xingguo's words made Chen Jiliang feel a lot better, and then quickly recovered and began to perform his duties as a naval commander.

At this moment, the Japanese Navy Department received a farewell telegram from Vice Admiral Kaohsiung, and the entire Navy Department was directly blown up.

Two o'clock in the morning was supposed to be the best time to sleep in the dead of night.

The entire Japanese Admiralty, except for a few dozen officers on duty, rarely saw a single person.

However, within half an hour of receiving the telegram from Kaohsiung, the entire Admiralty became brightly lit, and all the important members of the Navy, including the Minister of the Navy, rushed to the conference room of the Admiralty.

After scanning the seven or eight vice admirals and admirals in front of him with a heavy face, the Minister of the Navy directly threw Vice Admiral Kaohsiung's farewell telegram to everyone to browse.

After reading the telegram, the expressions on the faces of several people changed from doubts at the beginning to solemnity.

As for the Minister of the Navy, he waited until everyone had read the telegram before he said: "After reading the telegram, everyone will tell what they think." In addition, I can tell you unequivocally that we have lost contact with Lieutenant General Kaohsiung. ”

"In addition, the remaining twelve warships of the fleet have been retreated under the orders of Vice Admiral Kaohsiung."

"Kaohsiung must take responsibility for this defeat. More than twenty of the Empire's most advanced capital ships have been wiped out, and someone must take responsibility. An admiral spoke first.

As soon as he finished speaking, many officers echoed him, and for them, the first thing to do was to push out the responsibility for the defeat of the navy. And Lieutenant General Kaohsiung is undoubtedly the best choice in their minds.

The Minister of the Navy was well aware of everyone's thoughts, and then replied very decisively: "Takao has already apologized to His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no problem in putting the blame on him." What I would like to ask you is that we will report the news of the defeat to His Majesty the Emperor. Also, what will the empire do after the defeat? ”

Everyone first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then after nearly a minute, the chief of staff, who had the most right to speak, answered.

"The Wehrmacht Navy is armed not only with capital ships and torpedo boats, but now with submarines. Although he didn't have the ability to attack from a distance, the defense was still more than enough. I think Kaohsiung's proposal in the farewell telegram is good, and unless the Reich has a way to deal with Wehrmacht submarines and torpedo boats, it will temporarily stop retaliating against the Wehrmacht. ”

"Otherwise, even if the Wehrmacht is defeated, it will be a lose-lose outcome."

"I am confident that as long as we make the situation clear, the emperor will definitely agree with our decision. After all, the goal of the empire was not the Wehrmacht, but the entire Qing Dynasty. Rather than fighting to the death with the Wehrmacht and consuming a lot of the empire's national strength, it is better to take the southern region of the Great Qing Kingdom first. In the words of the Great Qing Dynasty, persimmons pick up soft pinching. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
