As the commanders of the three most powerful naval fleets in the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, Bridget of the United Kingdom, Tessim of Germany, and François of France, although they were very frightened by the unexpected decisive battle with the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, how long had the naval battle been going on, and the most powerful dreadnought battleships of the navies of various countries had already suffered extremely heavy losses, but these three commanders did not mean to retreat, and were still ready to continue to fight with the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Win the final victory in the naval battle.

However, not all of them were like the three commanders, seeing the bomber fleet of the Chinese Empire constantly wreaking havoc on the head of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, and many officers and men of the British, French, and German navies of the three countries retreated, and not only these British, French, and German naval officers and men were timid, but some naval fleet commanders also had the idea of retreating when they saw the loss of those dreadnought battleships of their own national navy.

In the bridge of the Valdo-class dreadnought battleship Waldo, the flagship of the Russian Navy, Vladilenovich, the commander of the Russian naval fleet, wiped the cold sweat on his head, the cold sweat was completely frightened, just now there were 3 bombers of the Chinese Empire, launched a dive bomb on the Valdo, but the Waldo's luck was not bad, it was only hit by 1 800-kilogram aerial bomb, which did not bring fatal injuries, and the Valdo's anti-aircraft guns also shot down 1 bomber, However, this also made Vladillanovich scared and his liver did not jump out.

Vladilianovich, who is only 40 years old this year, has not yet enjoyed enough life, but there are many beautiful mistresses in St. Petersburg who still need his comfort, and he does not want to end up like this.

When the bomber group of the Chinese Empire disappeared. Vladilenovich said to the captain of the Waldo, Tiudokaf, who was beside him, with annoyance: "Our Russian Navy has now sunk 4 dreadnought battleships, and now only our Valdo and the Russian-class dreadnought battleship Pol of the right flotilla are left. You must know that our entire Russian Empire currently has a total of 9 dreadnought battleships, and this is only a long time. There are already 4 sunk, and the dreadnought battleships of other countries have also suffered heavy losses, I think this naval battle is enough to choke, and the Chinese Empire is going against the sky. ”

No wonder Vladilianovich complained that it had only been a long time since the war began, and Russia had lost 4 dreadnought battleships. Only 6 Russian-class dreadnought battleships and 3 Valdo-class dreadnought battleships were built, but the Chinese Empire killed 4 of them in three times and divided by two, which is really too ruthless!

If the main naval force of the Chinese Empire can defeat the joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente and the Allied countries this time, it will definitely dominate the rhythm of the entire sea, and it is really against the sky, after all, the scale of the joint expeditionary fleet is unprecedented, and if the navy of the Chinese Empire can even defeat the joint expeditionary fleet, it will be on the sea. What else could stop the Imperial Chinese Navy? Nothing, nothing!

Tiudakav looked at the somewhat angry commander Vladilenovich, sighed and said: "Our Russian Empire has sent a total of 4 Russian-class dreadnought battleships and 2 Valdo-class dreadnought battleships, 3 Peresvet-class all-steel battleships and 3 Borodino-class all-steel battleships, 4 large fast armored cruisers, 12 fast protection cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 20 torpedo boats to join the joint expeditionary fleet this time. With a total displacement of 280,000 tons, it accounts for two-thirds of the strength of our entire Russian Navy, which was financed by His Majesty the Tsar. It was developed, and now in addition to the sinking of 4 dreadnought battleships. We also have 1 large fast armored cruiser and 2 fast protection cruisers sunk, if the fight continues. I don't know how many warships are left of two-thirds of our Russian Navy, alas-"

Vladhinovich nodded and said: "This decisive battle at sea that I thought would be won, because of the sudden appearance of the bomber group of the Chinese Empire, the final result has become confusing, and I think those bombers of the Chinese Empire will definitely not stop bombing, they will definitely come back." ”

Tiudokaf said helplessly: "Bridget, the commander of the Central Route Squadron and the commander-in-chief of the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet, has just sent an order to let the large fast armored cruiser fleets, fast protection cruiser teams and destroyer fleets get close to the battleship fleets and use these warships with anti-aircraft fire to help the battleships prepare for the bombing of the Chinese Imperial bombers again, but as long as the bombers of the Chinese Empire come back, there will be help from other types of warships. It was also impossible to prevent the bombers of the Chinese Empire from bombing the battleships of our Combined Expeditionary Fleet, and it can be seen from the previous bombing that those bombers of the Chinese Empire did not care about their own losses at all, and launched dive bombing in a crazy way, which is really worrying. ”

Vladilenovich hesitated for a moment and said: "It is true that we can't continue to lose, otherwise our Russian Navy will be buried here, send a telegram to General Bridget, saying that I suggest that the joint expeditionary fleet should first withdraw from this sea area, avoid those bombers of the Chinese Empire, and then fight a decisive battle with the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy at a later date." ”

Tiudakav frowned and said: "Commander, the current form of our Russian battlefield is very unfavorable, His Majesty the Tsar is also counting on the joint expeditionary fleet to seize sea supremacy in the Asian seas and reduce the pressure on the Russian battlefield, we propose to retreat at this time, then ...... with the Tsar."

Tiudokav's words were not finished, his meaning was obvious, if the Combined Expeditionary Fleet was withdrawn now, it would mean a decisive naval battle, the Entente and the Central Powers had already lost, and Vladishinovich said that if the battle was fought again, wouldn't those bombers of the Chinese Empire not participate in the war?

As if it were impossible, the Russians' conjecture about the Sea Hawk bomber was also to regard the Sea Hawk bomber as a new type of seaplane, otherwise it would not explain how those bombers could fly here.

Now that the Combined Expeditionary Fleet has retreated, it means that the decisive battle with the main forces of the Imperial Chinese Navy has been lost, and after the defeat of this naval battle. Even if the remaining warships of the Russian Navy returned to Russia, Tsar Nicholas II was likely to settle accounts with Vladilianovich.

You lost 4 powerful dreadnought battleships of the Russian Empire. It was also recommended that the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet retreat, resulting in a decisive naval battle ending in defeat. It is not an exaggeration for Tsar Nicholas II to execute Vladhino Novich.

Vladilenovich listened to Dyudokav's words, was silent for a moment and said: "Then continue to carry out the orders of General Bridget, God bless our Russian Empire!" Don't let the Valdo and Boer suffer any more losses, our Russian Navy really can't afford to lose. ”

Vladienovich really had the idea of retreating in his heart, to be honest, he was able to get to this position today, the proportion of real talent and learning is not large, there are many ingredients in the whiskers, and those Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky who dive and bomb, especially when they dive, still have a piercing sound. It really made Vladzilenovich feel like he was in a nightmare, and he wanted to leave this hellish battlefield immediately.

He definitely didn't have the consciousness of killing himself for the honor of the Russian Empire, and he still valued his own life very much.

However, as Tiudakav said, now that the Russian Navy has lost 4 dreadnought battleships, if his own proposal to retreat is adopted by Bridget, then he will return to Russia with absolutely no good fruit to eat, according to his own knowledge of Tsar Nicholas II. He will definitely not let himself go, and he will become one of the scapegoats for this naval battle.

On the bridge of the Dante-class dreadnought battleship Dante, the flagship of the Italian Navy, Erebet, the commander of the Italian naval fleet, said in a deep voice to the captain of the Dante, Moorsamo: "Our Italian Navy has now sunk 1 dreadnought battleship and 2 all-steel battleships, and another dreadnought battleship has temporarily lost its combat effectiveness. We have only 2 dreadnought battleships and 8 all-steel battleships left in our Italian Navy, and it is really unacceptable to lose so many battleships in such a short time. ”

The captain of the Dante, Moore, said helplessly: "No one thought that the Chinese Empire would be able to get bombers here. Stirring up the decisive battle between our Combined Expeditionary Fleet and the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, the dreadnoughts of the other countries of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet are currently losing even more. In particular, both the British and German, dreadnought battleships had already sunk many ships. ”

Erebet sighed and said, "It's worrying. As the naval battle continues, it is very likely that the bombers of the Chinese Empire will bomb our Joint Expeditionary Fleet again, and in that case, the losses of our Combined Expeditionary Fleet will inevitably increase. ”

The captain of the Dante, Moore, nodded and said: "Those bombers of the Chinese Empire have indeed brought very serious losses to our joint expeditionary fleet, and many of the dreadnought battleships that sank were sunk by bombers, if those bombers bombed a few more times of this scale, our allies and allies would lose this decisive battle at sea, commander, what do you mean?" ”

Erebet hesitated for a moment and said: "I am going to suggest to General Bridget of Britain that we temporarily evacuate this battlefield, I have a very bad premonition, the bomber group of the Chinese Empire will definitely appear again, and then our Italian Navy does not know how many battleships will be lost." ”

Mursamo frowned and said: "Commander, you also know the hatred between our Italian Navy and the Chinese Empire, if your suggestion is adopted, after returning to Italy, some people in the country will definitely find you trouble." ”

Erebet waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can keep more Italian warships, I am willing to bear all the consequences, Mulsame, send my intention by telegram to General Bridget in Britain!" ”

The Italian Navy and the Navy under Lin Daxin had fought many times, each time the entire army was wiped out, but Erebet was the first time he had fought against the navy of the Chinese Empire.

Erebet was not at all worried about someone coming back to trouble him, and before the fleet of the Italian Navy departed, the king of Italy, Vittorio? Emmanuele III, summoned him privately, once instructed that this time the Italian Navy joined the joint expeditionary fleet, although the probability of victory is very high, but if an accident occurs, we must try to ensure that more Italian warships are withdrawn to Italy, and do not destroy the whole army, it will soon become a curse.

In the bridge of the Austrian-class dreadnought battleship Austria, the flagship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy fleet, Rusdit, showed a sad face at this time, this time the Austro-Hungarian Navy can be said to have taken out most of the main forces, the entire Austro-Hungarian Navy, a total of 6 dreadnought battleships, this time sent out 2 Austrian-class dreadnought battleships and 2 Dante-class dreadnought battleships.

However, it has only been a long time since the war began, and 1 Austrian-class dreadnought battleship and 1 Dante-class dreadnought-class battleship have already sunk, and Ruthit's heart hurts like a knife.

Rustit turned his head and said to Kloster, the captain of the Austrian beside him: "Send a telegram to the British commander, the bombers of the Chinese Empire will definitely come back, we will fight to be bombed, where can we defeat the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, it is better to evacuate here quickly, find a new opportunity to fight with the Chinese Imperial Navy, and if it is bombed again, our Austro-Hungarian Navy, there are still a few ships left." ”

Kloster nodded and said, "Yes, Commander!" ”

The navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire only sank 1 dreadnought battleship, but the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy only had a total of 2 Dante-class dreadnought battleships, and they were all sent out this time, and now 1 has been sunk, which makes the face of Ismail, the commander of the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Navy's fleet, extremely ugly, but he did not have any idea of retreating.

Although the navy of the Ottoman Empire was weak, the commander Ismail, who was a tough guy, would not retreat lightly.

Bridget, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet, soon received a telegram from Erebet, the commander of the Italian naval fleet, and Rusdit, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian naval fleet, both of which suggested that the joint expeditionary fleet retreat.

Bridget was determined to fight to the end, and would never let the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet choose to retreat just because of the fleet commanders of these Allied powers. (To be continued.) )
