"General, we're finished, we're defeated!" The battleship 'Mendoza' was sunk, the cowards on the battleship 'Córdoba' surrendered, we can't beat the Chileans anymore! The staff officer on the battleship Buenos Aires said to Admiral Carlos Colo with a look of frustration. They only had four battleships, one was sunk, another surrendered, and the remaining two, one was damaged. And the four battleships of the Chilean Navy were unscathed on the base. At this time, the Argentine Navy no longer has the possibility of victory, and the fate that awaits them will be to be sunk all!

Admiral Carlos Colo's face was also gloomy and a little scary. Although he already knew that the Argentine Navy was not yet an opponent of the Chilean Navy. But he didn't expect that in a short period of time, he would be hit so hard.

"General? What do we do now? Everyone looked at Carlos Colo and waited for him to make a choice. However, Carlos Colo can clearly see the desire to live in everyone's eyes!

"Order the ships to move on! It's already half past two in the afternoon, and it's still a few hours before it gets dark. Then we will be able to use the cover of night to get rid of the Chileans. Tomorrow we will be able to return to Buenos Aires. When the time comes, we will be safe! Admiral Carlos Colo said!

"General, will we be able to hold out until dark? Now that the Chileans have an absolute advantage, we won't be able to survive the night! Immediately, questions were raised. In less than three hours before the start of the war, the Argentine Navy had lost two battleships. It was now a full five hours before dark, and the situation at sea was four against two, and the Chilean Navy had an absolute advantage. In this case. The Argentine Navy wants to survive five hours safely, which is delusional!

"I know! But we have to work hard! Argentina had already spent the last penny in its treasury in order to order battleships from France, and as Argentine soldiers, we naturally had to fight for the good of our country. Of course, if I can't do anything, I won't sacrifice everyone's lives casually! Carlos Colo assured!

After listening to this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What they were afraid of was Carlos Colo and everyone would fight to the death. This is a very common situation in the countries of the East. Fighting to the death is often a sign of loyalty to the country. But in Western countries, if they reach a desperate situation and have no way to return to heaven, they are more willing to save their lives.

The Chilean Navy on the other side. Already celebrating the victory!

"Haha! General Zhao, this time we have won, and the Argentines are dead this time! They only have two battleships left, and we have four more! They can't escape! Admiral Giorge, commander of the Chilean Navy, laughed. He is very satisfied to be able to achieve such a victory. Four battleships of the Chilean Navy. Ki was not injured, at most he was hit by some small-caliber shells, these small-caliber shells. For the thick armor of the 'Santiago-class' battleships, there was no threat to the roots. And the Argentine Navy had even worse gunnery than the Chilean Navy, so much so that not a single large-caliber shell had hit the battleship of the Chilean Navy for almost three hours after the war began!

"Of course. Your Excellency! We'll be winning soon! The heavy cruisers 'Temuco' and 'Monte' were ordered to speed up, seize the T-prefix, and intercept the Argentine navy. Of the four battleships of the Argentine Navy, none of us can afford to let go! Major General Zhao Hongcai ordered.

Battleships ordered by the Chilean Navy from China. In addition to battleships, second-hand heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers were purchased under the persuasion of China. Two heavy cruisers. It is the 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruiser that has been in service in China for more than ten years. Although it is already an old warship, after overhaul and maintenance, its combat effectiveness is still very strong. At least for a country like Chile, it can already be used as a quasi-battleship.

The maximum speed of the 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruisers was as high as 26 knots, and the two heavy cruisers, after receiving the order, immediately increased their speed to the maximum, crossed the battle line, and rushed forward.

Twenty minutes later, two heavy cruisers intercepted the Argentine Navy and forcibly seized the T-shape. Forced the Argentine Navy to have to turn. Otherwise, they would have been fiercely attacked by two heavy cruisers. But even then, it was too late. The four battleships of the Chilean Navy have already taken the opportunity to stick up, and at a distance of 8 kilometers from the Argentine Navy, they are firing fiercely!

The battleships of the Chilean Navy, twice as large as the Argentine Navy, had an absolute advantage. Although the Argentine Navy also launched a counterattack, their counterattack looked so weak under the fierce attack of the Chilean Navy!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "At 3:11 p.m., the Argentine Navy was dealt another heavy blow. The battleship Buenos Aires was besieged by the battleships "Santiago" and "Talca" of the Chilean Navy. In this volley, the battleship "Santiago" hit the stern of the battleship "Buenos Aires". A 343-millimeter shell destroyed both twin main guns on the rear deck of the battleship Buenos Aires, reducing the firepower of the battleship Buenos Aires by 40 percent. After the battleship Santiago hit the Buenos Aires, the battleship Talca followed suit and hit the Buenos Aires. A shell pierced the armor of the ship's amidships, and after exploding, the boiler compartment was blown up. The hot steam in the boiler leaked out, killing all the dozens of Argentine naval soldiers inside. Moreover, the speed of the battleship 'Buenos Aires' began to drop dramatically!

There is no doubt that the battleship 'Buenos Aires' has already suffered heavy damage, and if it loses power, it will become a live target for the Chilean Navy, and it is only a matter of time before it is sunk. At this time, it is time for Admiral Carlos Colo to make his choice!

"General, we have lost, surrender!" Some of the officers built yì road.

However, Admiral Carlos Colo was still a little hesitant. He couldn't make a decision for a long time!

At this time, another battleship of the Argentine Navy, the "San Luis", was also hit again, and a shell pierced the front deck of the battleship "San Luis", blowing a large hole. However, it did not cause fatal damage to the battleship 'St. Louis'. However, the next move of the battleship "St. Louis" shocked everyone. After being hit, the battleship 'San Luis' raised a white flag and, without the consent of Admiral Carlos Colo, surrendered to the Chilean Navy first!

"Hell, damn guys!" Seeing this, Admiral Carlos Colo cursed. However, he had no choice. I had to give the order to surrender!

At half past three in the afternoon, the battle ended. Except for a few light cruisers and destroyers of the Argentine Navy, which saw that the situation was not good, and fled at high speed in advance, the remaining four battleships, one was sunk, and the remaining three surrendered after being heavily damaged!

The Chilean Navy cheered, and this was a great victory for the Chilean Navy. At its own small cost, the main force of the Argentine Navy was completely annihilated, which made all the Chilean Navy soldiers cheer.

Rear Admiral Zhao Hongcai ordered the ships to begin replenishing ammunition and repairing those minor losses. At the same time, the news of the victory was sent to Santiago to reassure the president of Chile and the top brassives!

At the beginning of the naval battle, Admiral Carlos Collo, commander of the Argentine Navy, sent a telegram to the Argentine Admiralty, in which he claimed that they had been attacked by the Chilean Navy and that Chile had declared war on Argentina!

The Argentine Minister of the Navy, Lauritte, was taken aback after receiving the telegram, and he did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the presidential palace. Argentine President José Figueroa Alcta was also shocked after seeing the telegram, and they did not expect that the Chileans would choose such a way to start the war!

"Despicable and shameless Chileans, who have chosen to fight without declaring war, do they think that they will be able to defeat us in this way? Order the troops on the front line, prepare for battle, we will not let the Chilean conspiracy succeed! Lauritte, send a telegram to Admiral Carlos Colo and ask him to find a way to save the main forces of the Argentine Navy! Argentán José Figueroa Alcta said. He also knew that Argentina's naval strength was not comparable to Chile's, and it was impossible to defeat the Chilean navy. But it is necessary to keep the main force of the Argentine Navy! It's just that what he didn't expect was that a few hours later, Argentina used up all the battleships purchased by foreign exchange, and except for one that was sunk, the remaining three belonged to the Chilean Navy!

At 1 p.m., an hour after the start of the war, the Chilean ambassador to Argentina went to the presidential palace. He was ordered to submit a declaration of war to Argentina. In addition, he already knew that now the war had begun. Everyone in the embassy is ready to evacuate!

"Your Excellency the President, in view of the serious threat that your country poses to the security of our country, on behalf of Chile, I declare war on Argentina! From now on, our two countries are officially at war! Said the Chilean ambassador to Argentina!

"Despicable fellow! Don't you know that the war has begun? You despicable Chileans, you have launched an attack on us! Argentine President José Figueroa Alcta roared!
