The 'Qin-class' battleship has a full load displacement of 23,500 tons, and its main guns are four twin 305 mm guns, with a maximum speed of 24 knots. The battleship "Dreadnought" of the British Navy, with a full load displacement of 21,060 tons, and the main guns are 5 twin 305 mm guns. The battleship "Paris" of the French Navy, with a slightly larger displacement, a full load displacement of 22,450 tons, and the main guns are 6 twin 305 mm guns, two in the front and rear, one on each side, but only 5 main guns can fire on one side at a time.

As far as the main guns are concerned, the two 'Qin-class' battleships of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy combined have only 16 guns, while the two battleships of the British and French navies combined have 22 guns, of which 20 are capable of firing salvos. In terms of the number of artillery, the Chinese Navy is slightly at a disadvantage. However, the main guns of the Chinese Navy use 50 times the caliber and have a maximum firing range of about 16 kilometers, while the main guns of the British and French navies are all 45 times the caliber and have a maximum firing range of only about 14 kilometers. In addition, in terms of the power of the main gun and the performance of armor-piercing shells, the Chinese Navy also has a slight advantage.

In battleship duels, the speed of firepower output is very important. The Chinese Navy's 'Qin-class' battleships are already equipped with semi-automatic loaders, and their rate of fire has reached one round a minute, while the British and French Navy's battleships are slightly slower, the British Navy's 'Fearful' battleship can reach one and a half minutes to make a salvo, and the French Navy's 'Paris' battleship takes two minutes to make a salvo. In this way, the 'Qin-class' battleships have much more firepower than the battleships of the British and French navies.

In terms of armor, the armor of the 'Qin-class' battleships was also much faster than that of the 'Dreadnought' and 'Paris' battleships. Combining these factors, the 'Qin-class' battleships faced the battleships of the British and French navies. It has a very big advantage. As long as no accidents happen, in this naval battle, the 'Qin-class' battleships will win. However, naval warfare is always full of variables. Until the last minute, no one knows what will happen. The other two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet are also rushing to the battlefield. However, it will take them more than an hour to reach the battlefield. If the progress is smooth. Perhaps this naval battle is over.

At 8 a.m. on December 11, the distance between the two sides had narrowed to 12,000 kilometers. At this time, the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' of the Chinese Navy was the first to attack. His opponent was the battleship 'Dreadnought' of the British Navy.

"Boom! Rumble! "The four twin 305mm guns of the 'Qin-class' battleship. Clusters of orange-red flames erupted, and armor-piercing shells weighing more than 300 kilograms flew towards targets 12,000 kilometers away amid the deafening sound of shelling. The recoil generated during the salvo moved the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' sideways more than half a meter out of the sea. In addition, in the sky above the 'Qin Shi Huang', an observation balloon has been lifted into the sky. They will provide ballistic corrections for the shelling of the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' based on the point of impact!

"Boom! Rumble! "Columns of water, bursting out in the sea to the left of the battleship 'Dreadful', the nearest point of impact. It was only about one hundred and fifty meters away from the battleship 'Fearful'.

"Damn, how did these yellow-skinned monkeys hit so accurately? Counterattack! Fight back immediately and let these yellow-skinned monkeys. Know how powerful our Royal Navy of the British Empire is! Lieutenant General Howard commanded loudly.

Soon, the battleship 'Dreadnought' launched a counterattack. In the midst of the rumbling cannons. Ten armor-piercing shells pierced the air and flew quickly towards the battleship Qin Shi Huang. However, the nearest bomb point was 200 meters away from the battleship Qin Shi Huang. This result made Lieutenant General Howard's face as black as the bottom of a pot. He always believed that the soldiers of the Royal Navy of the British Empire were the first in the world. And now in the shelling, the Royal Navy is actually inferior to the Chinese, which makes Vice Admiral Howard very dissatisfied. In his eyes, the Chinese Navy is just an upstart that has just risen for less than a decade, how can it be compared with the Royal Navy, which has a deep heritage?

"Two hundred meters to the left. Adjust your bearings and get ready to shoot! "The gunner of the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang', according to the number of jù obtained, ordered the turrets to adjust the firing position, and then prepared for the second salvo.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two minutes later, the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' fired a second salvo. This time, although it still did not hit the target, the nearest point of impact was only 100 meters away from the battleship 'Fearful'. This means that the shells fired by the battleship Qin Shi Huang are very likely to fall on the battleship "Fearful", and what they lack is nothing more than luck.

The battleship 'Prince Fusu' also began to attack the battleship 'Paris' of the French Navy. Although the battleship 'Paris' had twelve main guns, only ten of them were capable of firing on the same side. Although this is two more than the eight main guns of the 'Prince Fusu', the rate of fire of the battleship 'Paris' is only half that of the 'Prince Fusu', and in such a situation, the firepower output of the 'Prince Fusu' is far more powerful than that of the 'Paris'. In addition, France is a continental army country, and although the navy is also very strong, it is far from being comparable to the British navy, and the navy is not as good as the British navy. The accuracy of their shelling at a distance of 12,000 kilometers is unbearable. Under such circumstances, the battleship "Paris" was completely pressed down and beaten by the "Prince Fusu". If it weren't for their luck, I'm afraid they would have been hit a long time ago!

"General, the current situation is not good for us! At this distance, the accuracy of our artillery shelling is not comparable to that of the Chinese Navy, and if we continue like this, sooner or later we will be hit! Lieutenant General Howard's adjutant reminded with a solemn face.

"Order the ships, turn 15 degrees to the right, and close the distance with the Chinese!" Lieutenant General Howard gritted his teeth and ordered. Although, after closing the distance, the hit rate of the Chinese Navy will definitely be higher, but Vice Admiral Howard has no other way. Without closing the distance, it was difficult for the British and French navies to hit the battleships of the Chinese Navy, and as time passed, two more battleships of the Chinese Navy were coming. If they arrived, the British and French navies would be in a desperate situation!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "On the calm surface of the Red Sea, the sound of artillery shook the sky. The Chinese fleet and the Anglo-French navies, slaughtered together. Because of the narrowness of the Red Sea, which limits the maneuver of the fleet, many times the two sides are engaged in a head-to-head collision. However, in general, it is still the Chinese fleet that occupies an absolute advantage. In terms of the duel of battleships, the two battleships of the British and French navies have almost been pressed and beaten by the two 'Qin-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy. The battles between heavy cruisers, as well as light cruisers and destroyers, were even more tragic. But it is still the Chinese Navy that has the upper hand. In particular, the battleship "Wang Ben" had an overwhelming advantage over the armored cruisers of the British and French navies. Armored cruisers of the Anglo-French Navy with a displacement of more than eight thousand tons. But in front of the battlecruiser 'Wang Ben', it was completely a gap between a mountain peak and a mound. The four twin 305-mm guns on the battlecruiser 'Wang Ben' were a nightmare for these armored cruisers, and no armored cruiser could withstand such firepower. As long as he is hit, he will definitely die!

At 8:16 a.m., the distance between the two sides had narrowed from 12,000 meters to 10,000 meters. After that, the Chinese Navy deliberately kept the engagement distance at this distance, and even if the British and French navies wanted to continue to close the distance, they could not do anything in the face of the 'Qin-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy, which had a higher speed.

At 8:20, the battleship Qin Shi Huang of the Chinese Navy fired the 16th salvo in the naval battle. This salvo finally paid off. A 305mm main gun shell hit the apostorboard of the battleship 'Dreadnought', blowing two 37mm rapid-fire guns away and killing more than a dozen British sailors. However, such damage was not fatal to the battleship 'Dreadnought'!

"Fight back! Counterattack! Warriors of the Royal Navy, fighting for our glory, those yellow-skinned monkeys, how can they be our opponents! Lieutenant General Howard yelled hoarsely. However, it also does not seem to change their fate. The battleship 'Fearful' had already fired ten volleys, but it still hadn't even touched the edge of the 'Qin Shi Huang' battleship. If this continues, their fate will be very miserable.

"Boom! Rumble! "At 8:25, the battleship 'Prince Fusu' fired the 17th salvo of the second naval battle. This salvo produced great results. A 305-mm gun hit the main gun turret on the left side of the battleship 'Paris'. The turret armor of the battleship "Paris", which was only 280 mm, could not withstand the 305 mm armor-piercing shells of the Chinese Navy. Armor-piercing shells tore through the turret's armor and swept the entire turret into the air. It just so happened that at this time, there were two unfired shells in the chamber of this main gun. After the turret was hit, the two 305-mm guns left in the chambers were detonated. A violent explosion destroyed the entire turret. Shrapnel and the blown up turret, which flew in all directions, destroyed several nearby secondary guns and caused dozens of casualties among French naval soldiers. At the same time, a large hole was blown out on the port side of the battleship 'Paris'. Fortunately, this big hole is on the waterline, otherwise the battleship 'Paris' would have been miserable. But even so, the officers and men of the French Navy, who were not very firm in their will to fight, were about to be frightened!
