On the surface of the Arabian Sea, the second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente, the Allies and the United States is fighting to the death with the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, but in this decisive naval battle, the joint expeditionary fleet has fallen into a comprehensive passivity from the very beginning because of the existence of aircraft carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

Bridget sent out an assault fleet composed of the navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, wanting to bypass the main force of the three fleets of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and attack the aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, so that the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in the sky could no longer bomb the joint expeditionary fleet, but the assault fleet composed of the navies of the four navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey had been forcibly stopped by hundreds of warships led by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire with 14 all-steel battleships.

Originally, the temporary commander of the navy of the four Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish navies, that is, the commander of the Russian naval fleet, Vladhilenovich, thought that with the range of about 20,000 meters from the main guns of several dreadnought battleships, he could eat the interception fleet led by all-steel battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, but under the continuous bombing and interference of the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, the 14 all-steel battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire only paid the price of 1 serious injury. The battle line formed with the five dreadnought battleships of the four navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey has been shortened to within 15,000 meters, reaching the range of the main guns of these all-steel battleships, and then the five dreadnought battleships and two all-steel battleships of the four navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey have launched a confrontation with the 13 all-steel battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. The hull of the seriously wounded all-steel battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy had tilted, and the fire on board had not been extinguished. Temporarily retreated to the back.

An explosion of "boom-" sounded on one of the Italian Navy's Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleships. However, this explosion was not caused by the main gun shell of the all-steel battleship of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Imperial Navy opposite, but an 800-kilogram aerial bomb that hit the Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship of the Italian Navy, and penetrated the deck armor, and exploded inside the hull of the Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship, blowing up a large hole of more than ten meters in the underwater armor on the right side of the hull, and the turbulent seawater poured into the inside of the hull. Soon the speed of the Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship was affected, making it more vulnerable to attack. In the end, the Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship was hit by two 800-kilogram aerial bombs and two 305-mm armor-piercing shells, and in a series of explosions, completely disappeared into the sea.

The Russian Navy's Russian-class dreadnoughts and Valdo-class dreadnoughts, the Italian Navy's Dante-class dreadnoughts, and the Austrian-class dreadnoughts of the Austro-Hungarian Navy all have 10 305-mm guns, while the Italian Navy's Count Cavour-class dreadnoughts have 12 305-mm guns, and the Italian Navy's Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleships have 4 305mm guns. The navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey have 5 dreadnought battleships and 2 all-steel battleships, which have 60 305 mm naval guns in the confrontation.

The 13 all-steel battleships bombed by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire each had 4 305 mm guns, and all of them added up to 52 305 mm guns. It stands to reason that the navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey should have the advantage in the battleship bombardment, but don't forget those Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Imperial Navy in the sky.

With the constant dive bombing by carrier-based aircraft, the navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey are actually in a very difficult situation. 1 Queen Margaret-class all-steel battleship of the Italian Navy has just sunk, the Russian-class dreadnought battleship Ukraine of the Russian Navy. There was an unusually violent explosion, a 500-kilogram aerial bomb dropped by a Sea Eagle dive bomber. Pierced through the deck armor of the Ukraine and landed near an ammunition bin, the force of the explosion easily destroyed the steel wall of the ammunition bin, and instantly detonated hundreds of 305 mm shells inside, and the Ukrainian dreadnought battleship was blown into two at once and quickly sank to the sea.

"Oh God! How do we fight this naval battle! On the bridge of the Valdo-class dreadnought battleship Waldo, the flagship of the Russian Navy, the commander of the Russian naval fleet, Vladilenovich, shouted with a sad face, and at this time an atmosphere of helplessness permeated the bridge.

After the battleship main gun bombardment was launched, the 14 all-steel battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy opposite the navies of the four navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, none of them have been sunk so far, and only one of them was seriously injured, and they successfully retreated to the back, out of the range of the main guns of the dreadnought battleships of the four Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish countries, while the navies of the four Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish countries have lost 1 dreadnought battleship and 1 all-steel battleship, and what made Commander Vladilenovich even more angry was the loss of 2 capital battleships, The reason for the sinking was because of the bombing of the Chinese Imperial fighters, and it was not sunk by the main guns of the all-steel battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

Captain of the Valdo, Tiudokaf, said in a low voice: "Commander, although there are no super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships on the opposite side of the navies of the four countries of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, and the navies of our four countries only need to face a dozen all-steel battleships, but those fighters of the Chinese Empire in the sky put us at a very big disadvantage, under the joint attack of more than a dozen all-steel battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy and dozens of Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky, It is very difficult for us to have a chance to defeat the battle line composed of more than a dozen all-steel battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy on the opposite side, and go to the back to attack the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy that can carry fighters, and what is even more sad is that the Navy of our Russian Empire, after the sinking of the Ukrainian dreadnought battleship, is left with only one dreadnought battleship, our flagship, the Valdo. ”

Vladishenovich's face turned pale, and he said to Tiudokaf with a wry smile: "I also know the situation we are facing now, to be honest, I don't think that our joint expeditionary fleet, which is composed of the entire Entente, the Central Powers and the United States, can achieve the final victory in this naval battle, after all, as long as these raging Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky do not disappear." The second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the navies of our eight countries could not be expected to defeat the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy on the opposite side. ”

After a pause, Vladilenovich continued disheartenedly: "This time I led the main forces of the entire Russian Imperial Navy. Including 4 dreadnought battleships and 4 all-steel battleships, now we are left alone on the Waldo. Not to mention that our joint expeditionary fleet could not achieve the final victory in the naval battle, but it really achieved the final victory, and I have no way to explain it to His Majesty the Tsar. ”

Tiudakav smiled miserably and said: "Our fleet is almost the last home of our Imperial Russian Navy, and now that the naval battle is not over, our fleet is already in danger of total annihilation. ”

The Russian Navy's flagship Valdo dreadnought battleship was also seriously injured at this time, and an 800-kilogram aerial bomb penetrated the deck armor of the Valdo, but fortunately the explosion did not reach the key position. It's just that some boiler pipes were blown up, which affected some of the speed of the Valdo dreadnought battleship, and ignited a lot of fire, which has not been completely extinguished yet, but the fire has been controlled and has not spread to the key position of the warship, but the slowdown of the ship has made the Valdo dreadnought battleship more dangerous.

The warships of the Russian Navy, except for the main battleships, began to bombard 13 all-steel battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Another 1 large fast armored cruiser, 2 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers and 3 torpedo boats were lost, and now the Russian Navy is left with 1 large fast armored cruiser, 7 fast protection cruisers, 6 destroyers and 17 torpedo boats.

The last remaining dreadnought battleship of the Russian Navy and one other large fast armored cruiser were also damaged, and if the battle continued, it is very likely that the last two large battleships of the Russian Navy would not be able to survive. Then not only will the main warships of the Russian Navy in the second joint expeditionary fleet be wiped out, but the entire Russian Navy will also be deprived of a single large warship.

Russia was constrained by financial difficulties and faced strong offensive pressure from the Imperial Chinese Army. At a time when other naval powers in the world were building warships, Russia invested all the money it could get into the expansion of the Russian Army.

Like inside a shipyard in the UK. The main ships currently under construction include 8 King George V-class super dreadnought battleships, 8 Iron Duke-class super dreadnought battleships, and 12 Lion-class battlecruisers, as well as shipyards in Russia. All the large dockyards are currently empty, and while the Russian army is being expanded by millions of people, the Russians can no longer come up with the funds to build any of the main warships.

The main Russian warships that joined the second joint expeditionary fleet were lost, and then the entire Russian sea would not have a single large warship to protect the Russian sea for a long time.

While the commander of the Russian naval fleet, Vladilianovich, and the captain of the Valdo, Tiudokaf, were talking, another large fast armored cruiser of the Italian Navy was hit by an 800-kilogram aerial bomb, and the smoke from the explosion was up to 100 meters, and the speed of the large fast armored cruiser of the Italian Navy gradually slowed down.

Vladienović heard a violent explosion, picked up the binoculars and looked at the large fast armored cruiser of the Italian Navy not far away, and then put down the telescope and said in a low voice: "It seems that the Italians are going to sink another large fast armored cruiser." ”

Captain Tiudokaf, who also put down the binoculars, gritted his teeth at this time and whispered to the commander next to him, Vladhilenovich: "Your Excellency, there should be no hope for this naval battle, even the main forces of the British Navy, the German Navy, the French Navy and the American Navy, under such constant bombardment, it is impossible to defeat the battle line of the Imperial Chinese Navy composed of super dreadnought battleships and dreadnought battleships, I think we should plan early!" ”

Vladishanovich said with some grief on his face: "Tiudokaf, do you think I don't want to retreat with the remaining warships of our Russian Navy?" But I fled back to Russia with the remaining warships of our Russian Navy, and His Majesty the Tsar will definitely not let me go, and now I have no way out! ”

Tiudakav shook his head and said, "No! Commander, we still have a way to go! We can immediately surrender to the navy of the Chinese Empire, so that our lives are at least safe, and when the war is over, we will not return to Russia, we can go to other countries in Europe, or to the United States! As long as our lives are still there, everything will be fine in the future, and if we continue to fight, our Waldo is very likely to be sunk under the bombing of the Chinese Imperial fighters, then the probability of us being able to save our lives will become very, very low! Your Excellency, it's all about being alive! ”

Vladilenovich's eyes lit up, but he still hesitated and said: "If I give the order to surrender, my family is likely to be retaliated against by the Tsar." ”

Tiudokaf sighed and said: "Commander, now we can't care so much, if we all die, it's useless to talk about anything." ”

Vladilenovich pondered for a moment, nodded fiercely and said: "Immediately order all the remaining Russian warships to cease fire, turn off the boilers, raise the white flag, raise the naval guns to the highest angle, adjust the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to the lowest angle, so that the warships and fighters of the Imperial Chinese Navy can see that our Russian warships are no longer able to attack them, by the way, let each warship raise a few more white flags, so that the warships and fighters of the Imperial Chinese Navy can see more clearly!" ”

Amid the rumbling of cannons and explosions on the sea, the remnants of the Russian Navy's 1 dreadnought battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 7 fast protection cruisers, 6 destroyers, and 17 torpedo boats suddenly raised their white flags and slowly stopped, and all the naval guns and anti-aircraft fire on the Russian warships also stopped firing.

The 13 all-steel battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy opposite the navies of Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey immediately avoided the muzzles of their main guns from the Russian warships raising the white flag, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy hovering in the sky also stopped dive bombing the remnants of the Russian Navy.
