On the afternoon of June 17, 1902, in the Shenyang Governor's Palace, Lin Daxin anxiously waited for the results of the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait in his office, although there were 13 hidden dreadnought battleships, Lin Daxin thought that he could win a great victory in the naval battle 100%, but the exact battle report has not been sent back, his heart can not be completely put down, from the morning, Lin Daxin was in the office waiting for the news of the naval battle.

After all, there are still many uncertain factors in the naval battle, Lin Daxin doesn't want to get a crushing victory, what he needs is a happy victory.

Together with Lin Daxin in the Governor's Office waiting for the news of the naval battle, Wu Peifu, chief of the general staff of the Dingbei Army, Jiang Hui, chief of the general staff of the Northeast Navy, and Wang Yan, the chief of the administrative chief of the northern provinces, all came here at noon, put down other official duties, and paid attention to the naval battle that could be said to determine the trend of the war with the Eight-Nation Alliance.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ming, the adjutant of the Governor's Palace, walked into Lin Daxin's office with a telegram with a happy face, "Big handsome, big victory!" Navy victory! ”

Lin Daxin, who was originally sitting on the chair, stood up a few steps to meet Lu Ming, snatched the telegram in his hand almost immediately, and then read the telegram carefully, with a happy smile on his face, and then laughed and handed the telegram to the other three people in the office.

In this naval battle in the Taiwan Strait, the Northeast Navy has achieved amazing results, and the telegram is only a preliminary count, and that series of numbers can shock everyone who sees it.

The fleets of the Northeast Navy pursued the fleeing fleets of the navies of the Eight-Nation Alliance and returned to the battlefield of the naval battle. After a preliminary count, it was found that the results of this naval battle were brilliant. Not counting the warships that sank the navies of the Eight-Nation Alliance, only the warships that were captured. It is a lot of dense messing, and it can be announced that this largest naval battle in the history of mankind in the Taiwan Strait ended with a complete victory for the Northeast Navy.

Sun Xitao, as the temporary commander-in-chief of this naval battle, immediately asked people to send the battle report to Weihaiwei first, and then Weihaiwei forwarded it to the governor's palace in Shenyang to report Lin Daxin's victory. The forwarding is also because the distance of the radio station currently equipped is not enough to send it directly from the battlefield of the naval battle to Shenyang City.

The British Navy had 2 Majesty-class all-steel battleships, 3 Duncan-class all-steel battleships, and 1 Sovereign-class all-steel battleship captured by the Northeast Navy, of which 1 Majesty-class battleship and 2 Duncan-class battleships were seriously damaged. When he saw the dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy chasing after him, he immediately raised the white flag knowing the times. The other 3 battleships were intact, and the 3 British battleships that were not injured were also chased by the dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy.

In the French Navy, 1 Republic-class all-steel battleship, 1 Liberty-class all-steel battleship, and 4 Cecilia-class all-steel battleships fell into the hands of the Northeast Navy, of which 2 Cecilia-class battleships were seriously damaged.

The Russian Navy has 1 Peresvet-class all-steel battleship and 1 Borodino-class all-steel battleship, both of which were seriously injured and captured by the Northeast Navy, and the three Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleships of the Italian Navy and the three Indiana-class all-steel battleships of the US Navy also fell intact into the pocket of the Northeast Navy.

All the seriously wounded battleships captured could be repaired, so that it goes. It is equivalent to the Northeast Navy in this naval battle in the Taiwan Strait, harvesting 20 all-steel battleships, and all of them can be replenished to the fleet of the Northeast Navy.

In addition, the Northeast Navy also captured 14 large fast armored cruisers, 22 fast protection cruisers, 26 destroyers, and 30 torpedo boats of the navies of the Eight-Nation Alliance, most of which were intact. Only a few warships were damaged, but all of them could be repaired.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Northeast Navy captured so many warships. Even Austria-Hungary had 10 small warships captured, but in so many captured warships. But there was not a single German or Japanese warship, all German or Japanese warships. Even if they were seriously injured, they would not choose to surrender, but chose to sink the seriously injured warship, the Japanese because of the spirit of bushido, while the Germans did not receive the order to surrender.

As for the sunk warships of the Eight-Power Alliance, there were even more, if you only count the battleships, the British sank 13, the French sank 8, the Germans sank 15, even the flagship Karl the Great was sunk, the Russians sank 11, the Japanese sank 12, the Italians sank 1, Austria-Hungary sank 3, but 2 were ironclad battleships, except for Austria-Hungary, the battleships sunk by other countries were all made of steel.

The sinking of other types of warships in the navies of the Eight-Nation Alliance countries adds up to a lot, but the specific number has not yet been counted by the Northeast Navy, but the number of more than 50 is stable.

More than 34,000 Eight-Nation Alliance Navy personnel were captured by the Northeast Navy, more than 4,000 Japanese Army and 500 U.S. Army were captured, and 100,000 Japanese Army troops were transported by transport, and in the end, more than 4,000 were left because they refused to surrender.

Compared with the huge results, the losses of the Northeast Navy were not too large, a total of 2 all-steel battleships Yide and Yumi, as well as 3 ironclad battleships of the Aquila, Flying Eagle and Flying Fox were sunk, and there were also 4 large fast armored cruisers of the Trottale class, 2 Q-class submarines, 9 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers, 7 destroyers of the several class destroyers, and 14 mine-class torpedo boats were sunk in the naval battle, and a large number of warships were injured in the naval battle, but they could basically be repaired.

After reading the telegram sent back by the Northeast Navy, Wu Peifu, Jiang Hui, and Wang Yan immediately showed joy on their faces.

Jiang Hui laughed and said: "This time, these countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance have suffered a big loss!" We sank more than 60 of their battleships at once, and captured 20 all-steel battleships, hahaha, after this naval battle, our Northeast Navy is a veritable hegemon of the world's navy, and any British Navy has to stand aside. ”

Wu Peifu also said with a smile: "The victory in this naval battle in the Taiwan Strait has made us completely occupy the initiative on the southern front, and with the superiority of our Dingbei Army on the northern front, the balance of victory in this war with the Eight-Nation Alliance has completely tilted in our favor." ”

Wang Yan said with a smile on the side: "After the defeat of this sea battle in the Eight-Nation Alliance, I don't know if they have the confidence to continue fighting?" ”

Lin Daxin listened to the words of the three people, nodded, what made him excited was the capture of a large number of warships of the Eight-Nation Alliance, including 20 all-steel battleships, these warships can completely expand the scale of the Northeast Navy, expand it larger, although the Northeast Navy now has dreadnought battleships, but these captured warships, for a long time in the future, can still play a huge role.

And Lin Daxin's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and he really needs more warships to set up a certain scale of fleet in various regions to ensure the safety of the coastline in various regions.

Lin Daxin thought about it for a while, and then said to Lu Ming, the adjutant of the Governor's Palace: "Send a telegram to Sun Xitao of the Northeast Navy, ordering them to send all the captured warships of the Eight-Nation Alliance back to Dalian, and in addition, all our own wounded warships will also be withdrawn to Dalian, and all the injured warships will enter the Dalian shipyard for repairs." Let the dreadnought battleship formation, the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet continue to go south, prepare to blockade the British port in Hong Kong, let the Fourth Fleet rest and immediately go north, prepare to blockade Japan, although the Japanese suffered considerable losses in the naval battle, but still have a lot of strength, we have to take precautions, don't let the Japanese make trouble. In addition, let the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet protect the Ninth Field Army of the Dingbei Army in Taiwan and prepare to land in Fuzhou City, and it is time to destroy the British, French, and Japanese armies in Fuzhou City. ”

Jiang Hui reminded at this time: "Marshal, isn't the 10th Field Army of the Dingbei Army also in Taiwan, and don't you need the 10th Field Army to land in Fuzhou City together?" ”

Lin Daxin shook his head and said: "According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency, at present, the army of the Eight-Nation Alliance has concentrated a lot of troops in Hong Kong, and the army from Europe has arrived in Hong Kong, plus Britain and France have transferred some troops in the Asian colonies, which are also concentrated in Hong Kong, making Hong Kong also a heavy army. ”

Wu Peifu next to him continued: "We really have to be on guard, the intelligence bureau gave us the information of the General Staff of the Dingbei Army that the British Army in Hong Kong currently has about 35,000 people, of which 31,000 are servants, and the remaining 4,000 are British regular troops, and the French army in Hong Kong has reached 30,000, of which 20,000 are servant troops and 10,000 are French regular army. In addition, Hong Kong currently has 8,000 troops sent by Germany, 8,000 troops sent by Russia, 5,000 troops sent by Italy, and 3,000 troops sent by Austria-Hungary, bringing the total strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Hong Kong to nearly 90,000. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "Yes, there are 90,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance here in Hong Kong all of a sudden, and I am worried that these troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance will not be able to go to Fuzhou City to join the British, French and Japanese armies, and will jump over the wall in a hurry and directly attack Guangdong Province, and the Tenth Field Army will have to stay just in case, if the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Hong Kong attack Guangdong Province, the Tenth Field Army will have to enter Guangdong Province to fight." Besides, the combined land forces of Britain, France, and Japan in Fuzhou City are only a little more than 100,000, and with the cooperation of the navy, one field army is enough to deal with them.
