There will be casualties in war, but the casualties paid by the Chinese Navy in winning this naval battle are too small, and compared with the results achieved, this loss can almost be described as insignificant. This also made the admirals of the navy more convinced of the emperor. If it weren't for Emperor Wang Yuze's strong advocacy of building up aviation and focusing on the development of naval aviation, the losses paid by the Chinese Navy in such a large-scale naval battle would certainly have been very terrifying. The number of casualties is at least dozens of times that of the current one, and at the same time, the entire main force of the Chinese navy must be mobilized to the Atlantic, which increases the risk of naval warfare.

"Your Majesty!" Marshal Li Dingxin couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As one of the earliest generals of the Chinese Navy, Marshal Li Dingxin admired Emperor Wang Yuze more and more, from the first battleship with all main guns, to the later battlecruiser, and then to the current aircraft carrier, all of which proved his outstanding vision.

"Yes! Commander. In any case, after this naval battle, the position of the Imperial Navy as the number one in the world has been established, and no one can compare with us! We will become the new hegemon of the seas and even the hegemon of the world! Once again, the empire will become the most powerful country in the world! Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng's face was full of longing, which was exactly what these soldiers had worked hard for all their lives. It's just that they probably didn't expect that in just twenty years, this qiē would become a reality! Though. Now the war is not over. But the large-scale battle in the Navy can almost come to an end. The Chinese Navy has completely proved itself to the world through this naval battle!

Marshal Li Dingxin nodded, now that the US Navy has been resolved, the Chinese Navy can be said to have no more enemies. Neither the British Navy, which is still struggling, nor the German Navy, an ally of China, are far from being comparable to the Chinese Navy. Moreover, the Chinese Navy has also mastered the killer weapon of aircraft carriers. At present, the Chinese Navy has only four 'Emeishan-class' battleships in service, and ten more 'Wuyue-class' battleships are under construction. The first batch of five 'Wuyue-class' battleships is expected to be ready for service by the end of the year, and the strength of the Chinese Navy will be further expanded by then. In addition, the Chinese Navy is also actively developing the next generation of aircraft carriers. All these are favorable guarantees for the Chinese Navy to continue to dominate in the future!

"Commander, should we report the news of the victory to the country? I think Majesty must have been in a hurry! "Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng said!

"Wait a minute, there is no news yet that we are pursuing the British fleet. Wait until the British fleet is defeated and all the results are counted together before reporting back home! Marshal Li Dingxin said. Now that the Chinese navy has won the victory, if it can annihilate the British fleet as well, it will undoubtedly be able to further expand the results of the war. At the same time, it will also be of great help to China if it wants to enter the European continent in the future. In the future of the European continent, Germany will definitely have a great advantage. But China certainly won't let Germany live so peacefully. If China can land in the UK and take control of the British Isles. It would undoubtedly pose a great threat to Germany. Although China and Germany are now allies, once the war is over, this alliance will definitely disappear with it, and will be replaced by the struggle between China and Germany for world hegemony. However, from the current point of view, China is far ahead of Germany, not only occupying a large area of fertile territory in the world, but also has the world's first navy and top army!

"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng nodded, although he wanted to send the news back to China immediately, so that the emperor and the important ministers of the empire and the people of the empire who had been guarding the news of victory in the country would be happy. But now that Marshal Li Dingxin has decided, he has no choice but to say no more!

It didn't take long for them to receive a telegram from Brigadier General Ge Chūn Lin. Once again, the results of the pursuing fleet shocked everyone. Originally, everyone thought that the battle would last at least until tomorrow morning when the Chinese naval aviation dispatched carrier-based aircraft units to achieve victory, but they did not expect that the British would completely become soft eggs and surrender so soon!

"Commander! General Ge Chūn Lin and they were able to achieve victory so quickly, sinking one British battleship and capturing another 5. In addition to the three that were heavily damaged, two were intact. In addition, there are 6 'Edinburgh-class' heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers and 14 destroyers! Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng's face was almost full of laughter.

"Haha! All right! I didn't expect the British to be so unbeaten! So, we've won this battle! Chief of Staff, send the news of our victory home immediately! Marshal Li Dingxin was also full of smiles.

At this time, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, and the běijīng in January had entered the cold winter, and the weather was even colder because of the light snow that had just fallen yesterday. The snow on the streets has already cleared the feeling, leaving behind a black concrete pavement. It's past work time, and the streets are very deserted at this time. However, perhaps because it is approaching the end of the year, the entire city of Běijīng is also filled with a strong atmosphere of joy, and even if it is in the midst of a war, it will not have much impact on this. After all, the continuous victories of China's army, navy and air force on the battlefield have greatly stimulated the confidence of the people, and countless citizens in major cities have spontaneously celebrated the victory of the army on the front line. Even though China has paid a lot of price for this, the people have no regrets about it!

By 9 o'clock in the morning, the Admiralty had already begun to work, and the officers and men on the night shift had already returned to their dormitories to rest, and the officers and men who had changed the guard had already taken over their work. In particular, the telegraph room of the Admiralty has now become the place where everyone pays the most attention. The main force of the Chinese Navy is now engaged in a decisive battle with the US-British Combined Fleet in the Atlantic, which affects the hearts of all the officers and men of the Navy and even the entire people. Although everyone has great confidence in the Chinese Navy, the strength of the US-British combined fleet is too strong, with 46 capital ships! This made the vast number of naval officers and soldiers and citizens sweat in their hearts, for fear that the Imperial Navy would suffer a crushing defeat in this battle!

"Da-da, da-da!" The transceiver in the telegraph room was making a sound all the time. The signal corpsmen were recording the contents of the telegram.

A rear admiral was anxiously awaiting the results of the telegram, and he was none other than Rear Admiral Wang Pei, the director of the Navy's telegraph office. Since the expeditionary fleet reported yesterday that the Admiralty had encountered the combined fleet of the United States and Britain, there has been no telegram back, which makes everyone very anxious, not knowing what is happening at the front line!

"Director, the telegram has been translated!" A communications officer handed a telegram to Major General Wang Pei!

Rear Admiral Wang Pei hurriedly took it and looked at it, and the first content of the telegram was the news that the expeditionary fleet had reported that they had won a complete victory in this naval battle!

"Haha! Great, I knew we were going to win! Rear Admiral Wang Pei shouted, and then rushed out of the telegraph room and rushed to report to Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy!

After he left the telegraph room, the officers and soldiers in the telegraph room also cheered!

Rear Admiral Wang Pei rushed to the office of Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, within two minutes, and wanted Zhang Cheng to report with excitement on his face: "My lord, we have won, the expeditionary fleet has won, and the combined fleet of the United States and Britain has been completely annihilated!" And captured a large number of the enemy's capital ships, and our own losses were very light, with only a hundred casualties! ”

"What?" Zhang Cheng was taken aback, he didn't expect to be able to end the battle so quickly. However, when he thought of the terrifying strength of the aircraft carrier formation, he was also relieved. He knew that the aircraft carrier formation of the expeditionary fleet must have launched an attack on the combined fleet of the United States and Britain, which led to such a brilliant victory! Marshal Zhang Cheng hurriedly dodged the telegram from Major General Wang Pei's hand and read it carefully!

Sink 12 U.S. Navy battleships, 7 battle cruisers, capture 18 search battleships, 3 battle cruisers, 32 'Philadelphia-class' heavy cruisers, 50 'Omaha-class' light cruisers and 60 destroyers. Sink 1 British Navy battleship, capture 5 battleships, 6 'Edinburgh-class' heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers and 14 destroyers. Such a victory made Zhang Cheng stunned and couldn't believe it at all!

"Oh my God! How could such a big victory be achieved? How could so many enemy ships be captured? Could it be that those foreign devils are all muddy? Wang Pei, have you confirmed with the expeditionary fleet? Navy Minister Zhang Cheng looked at Rear Admiral Wang Pei sternly, for fear that they would lie about their war exploits, if that was the case, it would be a very big crime. What Emperor Wang Yuze hates most is cheating!

"My lord, we have confirmed with the expeditionary fleet, and there is no mistake! Our signal corps also double-checked three times to ensure that there were no problems! Major General Wang Pei said. When he first received the telegram, he couldn't believe it, and had to confirm with the expeditionary fleet again. The final result is still like this, which reassures him!

"Haha! That's great! This time our navy has finally achieved a big victory! Come, prepare the car, I'm going to the palace to report to His Majesty! In addition, call the General Staff and the Prime Minister's Office and tell them the good news! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng laughed and said! He is not young anymore, it is likely that after the end of this naval battle, they will retire to retire and retire, and the brilliant victory of the navy this time makes him have no regrets, and he can retire with peace of mind!

"Yes, sir!" Major General Wang Pei hurriedly ran out and asked people to prepare the car. (To be continued......)
