At dusk on February 17, tens of thousands of American-inhabitants of all stripes crowded the banks of the Rio de la Plata in the golden sunset to watch the majestic German warships leave Montevideo in an atmosphere of tragedy.

There were quite a few Germans in the crowd, quite a few Brits, and more Uruguayans playing soy sauce. Among them, those who have the idea of watching a drama are Li Guang's group.

Li Guang watched the Count Speer sail out of the main channel of the Río de la Plata, and as soon as he left the main channel, he saw that the huge hull had a full left rudder, and it no longer sailed to the open sea.

The steel giant ship actually stopped in the shallow sea, and from the telescope, Li Guang saw that a small boat had left the Earl Spee.

Damn, even fools can see that the Germans tossed during the day in order to evacuate the navy, and even hit the idea of bombing the ship and sinking itself.

Li Guangda scolded the German devils, Lao Tzu worked hard to help you repair the ship, but he didn't dare to fight.

At 8:50 p.m. on the 17th, the remnant sun sank into the sea. An earth-shattering explosion erupted from the bottom of the Earl Spee, and the tall mast disappeared into the tumbling waves.

Two days later, Langersdorff committed suicide with a suicide note, wrapped in his World War I naval warship flag, and left a suicide note. In its short life, the Earl of Spee sank 9 British ships (50,000 tons in total) without killing sailors.

Hitler was deeply furious when he learned that the "Count Spee" had not fought a war, and called the commander of the German Navy, Raeder, to scold him.

That night, Li Guang convened a meeting of officers, at which Ji Kelian recounted the battle between the German and British battleships.

It turned out that the British disguised the battleship as a merchant ship to lure the Count Speese into the bait. At the beginning of the war, Colonel Landdorf was so brave that he mistook three cruisers for destroyers.

After discovering that his opponent was three cruisers, Lancedorf made a mistake and did not take advantage of the 27-kilometer range of the Earl Spee's main guns, and the two sides engaged in an artillery battle at a distance of 18 kilometers.

The British commander divided the three cruisers into two parts and attacked the Earl Spee. This is very imaginary of the tactics adopted by Zheng Xuechang, who was also educated in the British navy, when he encountered the cruiser.

The two main turrets on the Earl Speeze were forced to disperse, and although the main British heavy cruisers were seriously damaged, the two light cruisers fought extremely bravely and aggressively. It turned out to be the same tactics as the destroyer, hand-to-hand combat.

Langesdorff, on the other hand, made the mistake of allowing his opponent to get closer, and the distance between the two ships was less than thirteen kilometers at the height of the battle. At this time, the British capital battleship, the heavy cruiser, had been seriously damaged, the turrets were all out of order, billowing black smoke was emitted, and it was forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

The two light cruisers were also slightly injured in several places, although the Count Spee was wounded, but it was definitely not to the point of being unable to fight, which Li Guang saw very clearly in the shipyard, the battleship did not sink, and the main guns were intact.

At this time, Lancedorf was so frightened that he ordered the battleship to flee towards the Río de la Plata. As a result, the British first pretended to retreat, implemented a delaying tactic, let the Count Spee repair in Uruguay for three days, and then transferred a battleship, plus intimidation, and even scared the Germans into sinking the battleship.

Li Guang finally concluded: "Listen to the foreign devils boasting outside, this kind of behavior has gentlemanly demeanor and dignity. Bullshit, I think that's an insult to the honor of the military. A formidable battleship, having lost its guts, was frightened by three cruisers. Garbage"

This battle between the Germans and the British is worth learning and reflecting on. First of all, the Germans had mistaken their mission, which was supposed to attack merchant ships, but they were reckless in wanting to fight. A battleship with a cost of tens of millions of dollars, only sinking fifty or sixty thousand tons of merchant ships, where can this be called a result, it is simply consuming Germany's strength and digging Hitler's grave.

Second, the German army did not know the enemy's situation and recklessly went to war.

Third, the German army did not know how to take advantage of its own advantages in battle, and it was obvious that it could strike from a distance, but it was foolish to have to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent.

Fourth, the British Navy fought tenaciously, had proper tactics, and dared to fight hand-to-hand with small ships against huge ships, and its spirit was commendable.

Li Guang summed up the experience of this battle, drank and said: "The most important thing is that soldiers can never lose the courage to fight. When the ancient swordsmen met their opponents in a narrow way, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the first swordsman in the world, knowing that they were invincible, they had to show their swords, even if they fell under the opponent's sword, they were still glorious even if they were defeated, this is the spirit of the bright sword.

Even though we are outnumbered, even if we are under siege, we dare to show our swords and dare to fight to the last person. In a word, "the brave wins when the narrow road meets," the spirit of the bright sword is the military soul of our army. What the blade of the sword points towards, what it looks like. ”

Li Guang quoted a few lines from the TV series "Bright Sword", and the last few sentences were almost roaring, and the words erupted from his mouth.

Everyone present said loudly together: "Bright sword, bright sword." ”

The cry shook the sky. When you plant a seed, it will grow into a towering tree. Li Guang hoped that the army he had built with his own hands would have the spirit of shining the sword.

In fact, the German army still has one of the biggest reasons for defeat, don't look at the good training, the soldiers who go to the battlefield for the first time really can't be elites. The captain had fought in World War I, but his tactics had become old, and the soldiers were too young, and there were no more than ten people on the nearly 1,000-strong battleship who had fought, and if they encountered a slight setback, they could no longer muster up the courage to fight. Captain Lancedorf lacked the means to boost the morale of the army, and as a result, his morale was low, and naturally he had no choice but to sink himself.

This battle greatly changed Li Guang's impression of Britain and Germany. In later generations, there were many German fans on the Internet, and many people admired Germany during this period and despised Britain. However, from the perspective of this war, the British navy far surpassed Germany's heritage, the will to fight was also far beyond Germany, and the diplomatic skills and psychological warfare were also far superior to Germany.

The excitement is not seen, but the harvest is not small.

The officers will soon go to their posts, and Pixiu No. 1 and Pixiu No. 2 will soon rush to the battlefield again.

Li Guang was also not idle, and organized people to load the equipment of the submarine dock on the ship and transport it to Shixiang Island together. Now the dockyard on the island of the Stone Statue is complete, and only the equipment is missing. The two thousand-ton submarines built together this time, materials, and even many parts have already been prepared.

The construction period of Pixiu-2 took eight months, and due to adequate preparations, Li Guang predicted that the two 1,000-ton submarines should be completed within five months.

The submarine-building equipment was accompanied by warplanes and a pile of materials dismantled from German warships. Several of these large-caliber armor-piercing shells and a German-made torpedo are very eye-catching. This was secretly unloaded from a German battleship, and the Germans sank the battleship by themselves anyway, and Li Guang was using it as waste.

Li Guang gained a lot, but he also offended the British minister Raeder. Li Guang disobeyed the British demands, and repaired the German battleships quite quickly, but Raeder was taken aback. In fact, Li Guang didn't really go all out.

Historically, German warships were not repaired because the owner of the largest Uruguayan shipyard was of French descent, and now France and Germany were opposed, so they refused the Germans' request for repairs.

In Argentina, where Germany was very powerful, because the capital Buenos Aires was in the upper reaches of the La Plata River, the river channel was relatively shallow, and the German warships could not reach there.

Now Li Guang provided battleship repair services for Germany, although the German [***] officer was stupid and sank the battleship, as in history. And it didn't do much harm to the British.

However, Raeder had already developed malice towards Li Guang in his heart, posing a great threat to the Naval Resistance Army. Raeder didn't just have ill will towards Li Guang because of this, Laplace, the former chairman of the Guano Business Group, was a pro-British and himself of French descent (maybe the shipyard owner in history). ）。 The fall of Laplace reduced Britain's influence in Uruguay considerably.

Although Dr. Larry, whom Li Guang supports, is a rising star in Uruguayan politics, he also advocates opposition to the fascist aggression of the Axis powers. Although this is in line with British interests, it is not controlled by the British Empire.

After several things are added, Raeder begins to investigate Li Guang, and Ma Zai is Laplace. Laplace hated Li Guang to the core, and all the news about Li Guang was provided to Raeder. At the beginning, after taking over Laplace's property, Yang Weiwu, the leader of the special squad, once suggested that if you fight a snake, you will not die, but suffer from it.

As an idiot young man educated in the 21st century, Li Guang was a woman who was benevolent and did not ruthlessly eliminate her opponent physically and physically.

In this way, Raeder not only figured out the situation on Nauru Island, but even learned some news about Robinson Island and Gardon Island from Chile. After figuring out some of Li Guang's situation, Raeder, a master of tricks, began to operate quietly behind his back.

It can be said that this time the German battleship was scared of its own sinking, and the British Minister Raeder contributed a lot, and it was both a diplomatic war and a psychological war, which scared Langersdorf into sinking the battleship. And what kind of means will this master of stratagger use?
