"Haha, that's great! God forbid! We sank a British battleship! "On the flagship battleship 'Madrid', the Spanish Admiral San Miguel shouted loudly. This is the first time in recent years that the Spanish Navy has sunk the capital ship of the British Navy!

"Hooray! Long live the Spanish Navy! The officers and men of the Spanish Navy chanted one after another. The sinking of a capital ship of the British Navy turned the momentum of the entire Spanish Navy upside down.

On the other hand, the British Navy, a battleship was sunk, which directly caused the momentum of the British Navy to suffer a heavy blow. You must know that in terms of the number of capital ships, the British Navy has an absolute advantage. Now this is the result, which is really hard to accept.

On the battleship 'Agamemnon', the flagship,. The Mediterranean Fleet had only four battleships, and the British Navy had a total of 12 battleships. In this way, when the home fleet arrives, they will have 12 capital ships to deal with the Chinese Navy's 1st Fleet. However, now that one has been sunk, it means that it will not be so easy for the British Navy to achieve a decisive victory. This will also have a great impact on the future confrontation with the Chinese Navy.

"Damn it! Order all the battleships, cheer up. In any case, the Royal Navy will never fail! ”。 Even with one battleship sunk, the British Navy had three more battleships, one more than the Spanish Navy. In particular, after the battleship 'Apollo' was restored to combat effectiveness, the British Navy still had an advantage.

A capital ship was sunk. The impact on the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet was very limited. If the Spanish Navy could sink the British Navy's battleships in succession, it might be able to turn the tide of the war. Now, however, it seems that I have run out of luck for the Spanish Navy. Once again, God has reversed his position. Stood behind the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy.

The capital ships of both sides, in addition to battleships, are also counted as second-class 'Eastern Zhou-class' and 'Western Zhou-class' battleships. However, the British Navy has four more Nelson-class and Orlando-class warships than the Spanish Navy. Almost from the very beginning of the battle, the Spanish Navy was not able to gain the upper hand. After the sinking of the battleship 'Roar'. The British Navy quickly returned to color.

At 4:18 p.m., the Spanish Navy's battleship "Barcelona" was hit, which was a "Dongzhou-class" battleship ordered from China, with a displacement of 7,500 tons and three twin 21o mm main guns, which made the "Barcelona" battleship once dominate the Mediterranean. But now. In the fierce naval battle, the battleship came to the end.

Two British Navy 'Nelson-class' battleships joined forces to attack the battleship 'Barcelona'. Three 21o-mm shells hit the battleship successively. Two shells hit the foredeck, and one hit the waterline looking at the apostorships. The two battleships that hit the foredeck directly destroyed the two main guns on the foredeck of the battleship Barcelona, greatly reducing the combat strength of the Barcelona. The shell that hit the waterline sent the battleship Barcelona directly to the bottom of the sea. After a large hole was blown out near the waterline, the fate of the battleship was almost decided. After struggling on the surface of the sea for more than 20 minutes, the battleship 'Barcelona' sank into the sea.

Immediately following the sinking of the battleship "Barcelona" was the battleship "Malaga" of the Spanish Navy. This is a 'Western Zhou-class' battleship. With a displacement of 5,000 tons and two twin 21o mm guns, the battleship 'Malaga' has a good combat power. However, in this large-scale naval battle. Whether it is tonnage or defense, the 'Western Zhou-class' battleships are doubtful of firepower, and they are too far from the capital ships. In fact, in the Chinese Navy, the 'Eastern Zhou-class' and 'Western Zhou-class' warships are no longer classified as capital ships. Only battleships above 10,000 tons. to be able to be called a capital ship. After this naval battle, the 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleships and the 'Western Zhou-class' battleships. It will be assigned to the Pacific Fleet to take on low-intensity tasks.

The battleship 'Malaga' was also besieged by two 'Orlando-class' ships of the British Navy. After eating four shells. before it was sunk. However, the counterattack of the 'Malaga' before its death also severely damaged an 'Orlando-class' battleship of the British Navy, so that the 'Orlando-class' battleship had to withdraw from the battlefield.

Two capital ships were sunk, leaving the Spanish Navy at a disadvantage in terms of the number of capital ships. Luck, although very important in naval warfare, is more important than strength!

The Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy has an absolute advantage in capital ships. And the Spanish Navy did not have the strength to win more with less. In such a situation, it is almost impossible to win.

"Your Excellency Commander, Admiral Francisco will telegraph!" A communications officer handed a telegram to Admiral San Miguel.

As soon as he received the telegram, Admiral San Miguel's face became gloomy. The two battleships lost were both from the 2nd Fleet of the Spanish Navy, which made Admiral Francisco very distressed, and now he even proposed to withdraw from the battle. It is clear that Admiral Francisco is not confident of winning.

"Reply to Admiral Francisco, the battle has just begun, and we will continue to fight! Victory, it must belong to the Spanish Navy! Admiral San Miguel said firmly.

After sinking two capital ships of the Spanish Navy in a row,. Of course, the Spanish Navy's loss of one 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleship and one 'Western Zhou-class' battleship combined was comparable in value to a 'ravage-class' battleship. However, for this reason, the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy also had an Orlando-class battleship that was heavily damaged and had to withdraw from the battle.

It's nothing, though. Anyway, this is just the beginning. As long as the British Navy can regain its strength, then it will inevitably be the Spanish Navy that will lose.

The fierce battle between the two sides was still accumulating, and the rumbling cannon sound resounded throughout this sea area. After the opening of the Suez Canal, this route has become a busy route. Even after the start of the war, when the Asia-Europe military alliance and the North Atlantic military alliance did not blockade the Suez Canal, many merchant ships of neutral countries were still using this route. And, now is the time for them to hurry up and make a lot of money.

The naval battles that took place here were brought about by passing merchant ships. However, the sea battle of dozens of warships on both sides shocked these merchant ships very much. However, no one dared to stay and watch the battle. After all, if you are hit by a stray bullet and cause accidental injury, you are asking for your own hardship.

"General, our small warship is damaged, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid we will lose everything!" At a time when the capital ships of the British Navy once again gained the upper hand,.

"Damn!". Six of the 14 'Pearl-class' cruisers of the Mediterranean Fleet have been sunk at this moment, and the result they have achieved is only to sink a 'Xia-class' cruiser of the Spanish Navy and severely damage a 'Tiangang-class' destroyer. It can be said that in the battle of small warships, the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy is already at an absolute disadvantage.

"Let all the small warships withdraw!" As a last resort,. Otherwise, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that all these 'pearl-class' cruisers will be lost."

The remaining eight 'Pearl-class' cruisers of the Mediterranean Fleet were all withdrawn to the side of the capital ship, and survived under the protection of the capital ship's secondary guns.

And the small warships of the Spanish Navy did not dare to get closer. After all, the armor of the capital ships is too thick, and the main guns of small battleships can hardly inflict fatal damage on these capital ships. On the contrary, the secondary guns of these capital ships can still damage or even sink small warships with one shot.

Now the results of the battle are focused on the confrontation between the capital ships. Of course, in this regard, the Spanish Navy is at a disadvantage.

The commander of the Spanish navy, Admiral San Miguel, was also in a dilemma, and if the battle continued, it would be difficult for the Spanish navy to win. However, if you retreat, you are a little unwilling. After all, if you're lucky, you might be able to turn defeat into victory. The Spanish Navy now has 1o capital ships left, including two 'Qin-class' battleships, three 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleships and five 'Orlando-class' battleships. The British Navy, on the other hand, had 3 battleships, 6 'Nelson-class' warships and 7 'Orlando-class' warships.

The current losses are still within an acceptable range. So, Admiral San Miguel chose to keep fighting. Although, this naval battle has become more and more difficult for the Spanish Navy. However, Admiral San Miguel and countless Spanish naval officers and men still did not give up.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The battleship 'Madrid' had to fire three twin 28o mm main guns at the same time, and the huge recoil directly made the battleship tremble. Six shells, whizzing towards the battleship 'Apollo' of the British Navy. (To be continued)
