PS: The third update is here! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! Thank you for the tip! After a few words, some people say that Xiaoyu is cheating on the number of words, and Xiaoyu wants to explain. The most recent chapters are more bland, as the little fish admits. However, the time in the book is only at the end of 1902, and there are at least a few years before the First World War. In addition, there are some pre-war layouts that have not yet been completed, and it will take a little time. I hope you can understand! Thank you all for your support!

"Boom! Rumble! "Dense shells, piercing the air, emitting a shrill whistling, smashed hard at the 'Dreadnought'. The four battleships and three battlecruisers of the Chinese Navy began to rain shells frantically at the 'Dreadnought' battleship at a rate of one salvo per minute. Columns of water rose around the battleship Dreadnought, and the water splashed down, drenching the deck of the Dreadnought. The battleship "Dreadnought", with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, is like a small ship in a storm at this moment, and it is in danger of sinking at any time!

"Fight back! Counterattack! Sink those yellow-skinned monkey ships! "Inside the bridge of the battleship 'Dreadnought', Admiral Edward Seamo, roared madly. At this moment, he finally felt the same mood that the battleships "Discord" and "Solemn" were facing the siege of the Chinese Navy. Even though he has participated in many naval battles in his life, it is the first time he has faced such a dangerous situation.

"Boom! Rumble! "The four battleships of the First Squadron of the British and American Navy also opened fire. A total of 32 305 mm guns were used to rain shells on the battleship Qin Shi Huang of the Chinese Navy. It's just that at a distance of 12,000 kilometers, whether it is the British Navy or the American Navy, the accuracy is very low. If you want to hit a local warship, you can only pray to God forbid!

Two battle lines, quickly staggered through. In the process, the Chinese Navy fired four salvos at the battleship Dreadnought. However, the 'Dreadnought' battleship seemed to have very good luck, and none of the four salvos, with a total of more than 200 shells, hit the 'Dreadnought' battleship. And the two salvos fired by the British and American navies did not even touch a single hair of the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang'.

"Aim for the battleship 'Vermont'. Fire with all your might! "Lieutenant General Li Haitao gave the order with a blank face. The battleship Vermont was the last in the battle line of the First Squadron of the British and American Navy. After the two battle lines quickly staggered, seizing the last chance, the Chinese Navy placed the target of the attack on the American battleship at the bottom of the line.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Seven battleships. Fifty-six main guns, all aimed at the battleship 'Vermont', seized this last opportunity to pour fire on the opposing side.

The U.S. Navy has suffered two consecutive defeats against the Chinese Navy, although the U.S. Navy has no desire to take revenge. But when it's time to really fight face-to-face. They are still a little frightened!

"Aim at the last battleship of the Chinese and fire! That's a battle cruiser, weakly armored and easier to sink! "On the battleship 'Dreadnought', Admiral Edward Seamo gave the order. The battleship Dreadnought was in the midst of the bombardment just now. Unscathed, he was very satisfied. However, they were also not able to hit the warships of the Chinese Navy, which is somewhat disappointing.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Four battleships of the First Detachment of the Anglo-American Navy. Heavy fire was fired at the last battleship of the Chinese Navy's battle line, the battlecruiser Mengtian. Although separated by 12,000 kilometers. However, the weak armor of the "Mengtian" battlecruiser was obviously unable to withstand the bombardment of 305-mm armor-piercing shells. Once hit, the battlecruiser 'Mengtian' would have to be severely damaged.

"Boom!" At 1:45 p.m., in the third salvo of the Chinese Navy against the US battleship "Vermont," a 305-millimeter shell fired by the battleship "Shenzhou" accurately hit the starboard side of the battleship "Vermont." However, the shell exploded above the waterline, and although it destroyed two secondary guns and killed several US Navy soldiers, it failed to cause fatal damage to the battleship "Vermont".

By this time, the two battle lines had already crossed the staggered past. The British and American navies still failed to hit the Chinese battleship, and the Chinese battleship only caused minor damage to an American battleship. In the process of high-speed driving, the hit rate is further reduced.

"Turn right, go around to their left, and do it again!" Lieutenant General Li Haitao ordered.

The battle line of the Chinese Navy drew a semicircle on the sea surface, and then quickly caught up with the First Detachment of the British and American Navy, in an attempt to launch another attack on the First Detachment of the British and American Navy.

"Damn, send a telegram to Admiral Benson and tell the Second Squadron to come up quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to survive! Admiral Edward Seamo ordered. The Chinese put the target of the strike on the First Squadron, and let the four battleships of the First Squadron be under great pressure. The second squadron tried to encircle the Chinese fleet, but the speed of the Chinese fleet was too fast and kept turning, which made it difficult for the second squadron to intercept the Chinese fleet.

At 2:20 p.m., the Chinese fleet caught up with the 1st Detachment of the British and American Navies from behind. The target of the Chinese fleet was once again placed on the American battleship "Vermont", which was at the end of the battle line!

"Fire, take your chance, sink those Yankees!" Lieutenant General Li Haitao ordered.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells, once again whizzing towards the battleship 'Vermont'. The more than 600 U.S. Navy soldiers on the entire battleship kept praying to God that they would not be hit.

At the same time, the First Squadron of the British and American Navies also launched a counterattack, and the target of their counterattack was the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang'!

God did not bless the Americans, and at 2:23 p.m., two shells hit the battleship Vermont in the second salvo fired by the battleship "Prince Fusu". A shell hit the bow of the USS Vermont, and on the bow deck, a large hole was blown out. Another shell hit the stern of the battleship Vermont, and although it did not destroy the aft main gun, the shrapnel stuck the steering system of the rear main gun, making it impossible for the main gun to adjust its direction. The maintenance personnel rushed to repair it immediately, but it was obviously not possible to repair it in a short time!

The doom of the battleship 'Vermont' did not end there! In the last salvo, a 305-mm armor-piercing projectile fired by the battlecruiser "Wang Ben" pierced the starboard waterline armor of the battleship "Vermont" and tore a hole more than two meters wide. The turbulent sea water poured into the battleship "Vermont", and the personnel on the battleship "Vermont" immediately began to rescue. After all the efforts, the loophole was finally plugged. But at this moment the battleship 'Vermont' has already entered the water by several hundred tons, and the hull has already tilted slightly. In order to maintain balance, the captain of the battleship 'Vermont' ordered to fill the port side with water. In this way, although the balance of the battleship was restored, after adding seven or eight hundred tons of seawater, the speed of the battleship 'Vermont' dropped directly to 16 knots. Realizing that it could no longer catch up with the battle line, the battleship 'Vermont' sent a telegram requesting to withdraw from the battle. Admiral Edward Seamo, though suspecting that this was a deliberate method taken by the captain of the battleship 'Vermont', feared the enemy. But it was still agreed that they would withdraw from the battle, after all, this was an American battleship, not a British one!

After forcing the battleship Vermont to withdraw from the battlefield, the Chinese fleet once again launched an attack on the battleship Dreadnought. The remaining three battleships of the British and American navies also placed their targets on the battleship "Meng Tian", the last battleship of the Chinese fleet.

The good fortune of the Chinese fleet, by this point it seems to have run out.

At 2:29 p.m., a shell hit the apostle of the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian'. After the shells tore through the armor, they hit the power compartment of the battleship "Mengtian", and a steam turbine was damaged, which made the speed of the battlecruiser "Mengtian" drop sharply to 12 knots.

There was no way, Vice Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, had to order the battleship 'Meng Tian' to withdraw from the battle.

However, the British and American navies seized this opportunity, and they finally damaged a battleship of the Chinese Navy, and of course they would not let him escape like this. Not only did the First Detachment of the British and American Navies begin to turn around and target the damaged battlecruiser "Meng Tian", but even the Second Detachment of the British and American Navies also arrived. For a time, the situation of the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' became very dangerous.

"Holy shit, these foreign devils will really take advantage of the fire to rob!" Major General Wu Zhiyuan scolded angrily.

Lieutenant General Li Haitao's face was also gloomy, as if he was about to drip water. The battlecruiser 'Meng Tian', whose speed had dropped by half, obviously could not escape the siege of the British and American navies. The British and American navies, which had finally seized the opportunity, would not give up until they sank the battleship 'Meng Tian'!

"General, the battleship 'Meng Tian' is calling, they will fight to the end!" A communications officer reported to Lieutenant General Li Haitao and Major General Wu Zhiyuan.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Despite being in a desperate situation, the four twin 305mm guns on the battlecruiser 'Mengtian' were still firing fiercely.

"Come on! You dog-day foreign devils, if you want to sink Lao Tzu's battleship, Lao Tzu will also make you pay a heavy price! "The captain of the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' said fiercely.

"Turn around, bombard the 'Dreadnought' battleship with all your might, sink the 'Dreadnought' battleship, and avenge the 'Meng Tian' battlecruiser!" Lieutenant General Li Haitao ordered.

Since the end of the 'Meng Tian' battlecruiser is already doomed, it is useless to say anything more, it is better to take this opportunity to sink the battleships of the British and American Navy, which can be regarded as revenge for the 'Meng Tian' battlecruiser!
