Chapter 716: The Commander-in-Chief of Fury

Astound! Very shocked! I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth!

For the remnants of the Russian Navy, all the white flags were suddenly raised, and the naval officers and men of the other 7 countries of the United Expeditionary Fleet could not believe their eyes, and there was no warning at all, why did the Russians surrender!

In fact, looking at the current size of the Russian Navy, and then looking at the size of the Russian Navy before the start of the naval battle, it is not difficult to understand why the Russian Navy suddenly surrendered to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

In the bridge of the Orion-class super dreadnought battleship Orion, the flagship of the British Navy, Bridget, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet, slammed his fists on the platform in front of the observation window, "Bastard! Vladilianovich this bastard actually surrendered! How dare he surrender! And how could he surrender! How much will the morale of our entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet be affected at this moment! Vladilianovich should be sent to a military court! Bastard! Bridget shouted angrily.

The captain of the Orion, Remacular, said with a wry smile next to him: "Commander, with this surrender of the Russian Navy, it seems that the two assault fleets we sent have no hope of breaking through the interception of the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy!" Commander, what should we do next? ”

The second assault fleet drawn from the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France has been bombed by the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and it is afraid that the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire will send it to intercept their four all-steel battleships, the second assault fleet has not dared to move over, and is still wandering to the south, but the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is a detachment headed by four all-steel battleships. Always following the second assault fleet of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet, inseparable.

It depends. Bridget's second assault fleet was not up to the task, and the first assault fleet composed of the navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey. At the critical moment when it was bombarding more than a dozen all-steel battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, the Russian Navy, as the main force, suddenly picked on its strength, and the first assault fleet sent by Bridget did not want to break through the obstruction of the dozen all-steel battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and hundreds of warships of other types.

Bridget gritted his teeth and said: "Now only by relying on the three battle lines of our British, American, German and French navies to defeat the front line of the Chinese Imperial Navy composed of super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships, can we achieve the final victory, and other tactics are no longer possible!" Let the second assault fleet drawn by the navies of the four countries of Britain, the United States, Germany and France, as well as the remaining submarines of the navies of our four countries, retreat immediately! ”

In addition to sending 2 assault fleets, Bridget also sent all 82 submarines to the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany and France. From the bottom of the sea, the Imperial Chinese Navy launched an attack on the battle line composed of super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships, but was blocked by 24 submarines of the three main fleets of the Royal Chinese Navy.

What made Bridget helpless was that the submarine forces of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, were beaten by the submarines of the Chinese Empire, which were more than three times less numerous.

A British submarine in charge of the command under the surface of the sea has just sent a telegram to Bridget that 82 submarines of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France are currently suffering very heavy losses under the attack of the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and now they are not only unable to get close to the super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy, but they are still losing money. Almost half of the submarines have been destroyed and have lost contact.

The remnants of the submarines of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France all understand that their submarines are not at all opponents of the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy under the surface of the sea, and the two sides are not at the same level in terms of performance. So they sent telegrams to the fleet commanders of their own national navies, hoping to retreat, otherwise the submarines of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France would be wiped out. It was also difficult to break through the blocking of the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy and launch torpedoes at the super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Commander of the French Navy Fleet FranΓ§ois, Commander of the German Navy Fleet Tessim, and Commander of the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet Sampson. They also sent telegrams to Bridget, suggesting that the remnants of the navies of the four countries should be withdrawn immediately. Don't lose any more.

Immediately afterwards, Bridget gritted his teeth and continued to say to Remecal: "Send a telegram to Erebet, the commander of the Italian naval fleet, asking him to take over the temporary commander of any of the three Austrian-Turkish navies, and then lead all the warships of the three navies to immediately get out of the confrontation with the dozen or so all-steel battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and at the same time prepare to launch an artillery bombardment on the surrendered Russian navy!" ”

When Remaikar heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Commander, now that our joint expeditionary fleet is still fighting against the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, wouldn't it make the Chinese Imperial Navy look lively if we launched an attack on the Russian Navy at this time?" And if the Russian Navy is attacked by the Italian Navy, it will definitely not be captured, and will definitely launch a counterattack, so that the excitement will be even greater! ”

Bridget said viciously: "There is a saying in China, called killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, we must teach the Russian Navy a hard lesson, otherwise there may be a second one, you must know that the current situation of our joint expeditionary fleet is not good." ”

A large number of warships, including some of the main battleships, have been sunk by the super dreadnought battleships, dreadnought battleships and carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy, while only one of the main battleships bombarded by the three battlelines of the British, American, German and French navies has been sunk so far, and most of the others have suffered some injuries, but the problem is not big and does not affect the combat effectiveness.

The sinking was a Phoenix-class dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which was hit by a 343-mm shell from the Orion-class super dreadnought battleship of the British Navy, detonating hundreds of 305-mm main gun shells in an ammunition compartment, making the Phoenix-class dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy quickly break into two and disappear into the sea.

The main battleships of the British, American, German and French navies, after bombarding one battle line with the Imperial Chinese Navy on three battle lines, the warships lost compared to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire only sank one phoenix-class dreadnought battleship, which is really a world of difference.

The British Navy sank 1 more Giant-class dreadnought, 1 Majestic-class all-steel battleship, 1 Dreadnought-class all-steel battleship, 1 Duncan-class all-steel battleship, and 1 Edward VII-class all-steel battleship. Because the battle line composed of all-steel battleships of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany and France is getting closer and closer to the battle line of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. It was already about 10,000 meters apart, which made the all-steel battleships of the navies of the four countries bombarded by the super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. The losses accelerated a lot, and the British Navy sank another 5 capital battleships, 4 of which were all-steel battleships.

In addition, the British Navy sank 1 ironclad battleship, 3 large fast armored cruisers, 5 fast protection cruisers, 6 destroyers and 4 torpedo boats.

After the German Navy bombarded its own three battle lines with one battle line of the Imperial Chinese Navy, it sank one Westpha-class dreadnought, one Wicchersbach all-steel battleship, one Braunschweig-class all-steel battleship, two large fast armored cruisers, three fast protection cruisers, five destroyers and three torpedo boats.

The French Navy lost another all-steel battleship of the Republic-class, 1 all-steel battleship of the Liberty class, 1 all-steel battleship of the Danton-class class, 1 ironclad battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 3 fast protection cruisers, 3 destroyers and 3 torpedo boats.

The U.S. Navy lost another South Carolina-class dreadnought, 1 Delaware-class dreadnought, 1 Maine-class all-steel battleship, 1 Ginia-class all-steel battleship, and 1 Connecticut-class all-steel battleship, and in a short period of time, like the British Navy, 5 capital battleships were sunk, in addition to the U.S. Navy's 2 ironclad battleships, 3 large fast armored cruisers, 6 fast protection cruisers, 8 destroyers and 4 torpedo boats were also sunk during this time.

The above-mentioned losses of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France also include the losses of warships of the navies of the four navies of the second assault fleet, after the navies of the four countries were bombarded by three battle lines and one battle line. The loss of so many warships was still caused by the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

The fact that Vladilenovich, the commander of the Russian naval fleet, was able to make up his mind to raise the white flag on the remnants of the Russian Navy's warships also had something to do with the increasing losses of the navies of the four countries of Britain, the United States, Germany and France, after all, as the strongest navy of the joint expeditionary fleet, only one dreadnought battleship of the Chinese Imperial Navy was sunk, but he lost more than a dozen main battleships, how else could this naval battle be fought? And how is it possible to win?

Just as Bridget was about to get the Italian Navy to attack the surrendered Russian Navy, someone suddenly shouted in the bridge of the Orion Super Dreadnought: "Oh God! The Italians also raised the white flag! ”

Bridget and Ray McCal, who was beside him, quickly lifted the telescope. Through the binoculars, they saw that the remaining warships of the Italian Navy had all raised their white flags, and they had begun to slow down.

"Bastard! Erebet, the bastard, was so spineless. Just follow the Russians and surrender to the navy of the Chinese Empire! Bridget shouted angrily.

Ray Makal, who was next to him, turned pale and did not speak, and the Russian Navy and the Italian Navy surrendered one after another. It is likely to cause a cascade of changes throughout the Combined Expeditionary Fleet, in Remecal's mind anyway. The Second Combined Expeditionary Fleet, which the Allies, the Allies, and the United States had done their best to assemble, could not have won the decisive battle at sea.

Inside the bridge of the Dante-class dreadnought battleship, the flagship of the Italian Navy, which has dropped a lot. The commander of the Italian naval fleet, Erebet, was also shocked after seeing the remnants of the Russian Navy warships raise the white flag, although the Russian Navy suffered very large losses in this decisive naval battle, and now there is only one dreadnought battleship left in the entire Russian Navy, but Erebet did not expect that the Russian Navy would be so simply not fighting, and chose to surrender to the Chinese Imperial Navy.

Seeing that the Russian Navy had surrendered, the captain of the Dante dreadnought, Mursumo, could not help but shout to the commander Erebet: "Commander, the Russians have surrendered, what should we do?" The wounded Dante is getting slower and slower! ”

The Italian Navy lost 1 Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 3 fast protection cruisers, 3 destroyers and 2 torpedo boats after bombarding 13 all-steel battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

There are only 1 Dante-class dreadnought-class battleship, 1 Count Cavour-class dreadnought-class battleship, 1 Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship, 2 large fast armored cruisers, 5 fast protection cruisers, 7 destroyers and 17 torpedo boats, although they are not as bad as the losses of the Russian Navy, but they are not much stronger, the main battleships of the Italian Navy have sunk 6 in naval battles, and the morale of the officers and men of the Italian Navy is already very low, Even Commander Erebet had little hope for the final victory of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet.

The sudden surrender of the Russian Navy was a blow to the low morale of the Italian officers and men.

Erebet threw the telescope in his hand onto the platform in front of the observation window, and then said in a tone full of helplessness: "This naval battle has already foreshadowed the final outcome from the sudden appearance of a large number of fighters in the Chinese Empire, and now the losses of the navies of the four countries of Britain, the United States, Germany and France are getting bigger and bigger, and the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy opposite the navies of the four countries has not suffered much loss, to be honest, it is no longer of much significance to fight again!" ”

The captain of the Dante, Moorsamo, asked uncertainly: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you mean that our Italian Navy and the Russian Navy also make the same choice?" ”

Erebet sighed and said: "Our boys of the Italian Navy have lost too much in this naval battle, in order for more boys of the Italian Navy to return to their families, convey my order to all the battleships of the Italian Navy, raise the white flag, turn off the boilers, all naval guns and anti-aircraft weapons stop firing, and the battle of our Italian Navy is over!" ”

In fact, Erebet still has a word in his heart, after surrendering to the navy of the Chinese Empire, I can also save my life, and when this war is over, I can return to my home in Italy and see my family.

Immediately, the remnants of the entire Italian Navy obeyed the orders of the commander Erebet without any objection, and dozens of remnants of the Italian Navy, including 2 dreadnought battleships and 1 all-steel battleship, all raised the white flag and chose to surrender like the Russian Navy!
