Chapter 496: A New Era

"What do you want to do? Want to rebel or not? Are you still heroic and proud Royal Navy officers and men? "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Ser Lyons retorted. He never imagined that such a situation would happen in the British Royal Navy. The strength of the Royal Navy, in addition to the advanced warships, relied on the heroic fighting and tenacious style of the officers and men of the Imperial Navy. And now, these guys actually want to disobey and surrender to the enemy, which makes Algernon? McLennan? How Sir Lyons was able to take it.

"Your Excellency, we just want to live. Our wives and children are still waiting for us to go back! We don't want to die here! The captain of the battleship 'Hannibal' said stubbornly. Although, disobedience and coercion of the commander to surrender were the same heinous crimes in the British Navy. But if you don't, it's a dead end. In order to survive, there is no way now.

"Listen, Mr. Brigadier General, immediately carry out my orders and fight the Chinese to the end. I can act as if nothing happened. Otherwise, even if the war is over, when you return to England, you will be court-martialed! "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Ser Lyons threatened. After all, even if these people surrendered, they would still have to return to Britain in the future. The same will be tried by the British Navy.

However, everyone was unmoved. Everybody wasn't taken by Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons was frightened by the threat, and looked at him with a look in his eyes that became more and more unkind. Gradually. Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons also sensed that something was wrong. If he insists any longer. Maybe these rebels will do something crazy.

"I order you in the name of the Marshal of the British Empire, the Commander of the Combined Fleet, to carry out my orders!" Combined Fleet Commander Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons said again. He couldn't believe that these people in front of him, who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and in order to survive, could actually ignore the glory of the British Imperial Navy.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we want you to accept our offer at once, otherwise. We're not welcome to you! "The captain of the battleship 'Hannibal' has also become more tough. Now, the battleships of the Chinese Navy are bombarding them fiercely, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them.

"Bastards, you sons of a bitch!" Combined Fleet Commander Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons couldn't help but yell, he was going mad at these guys. However, in the next second, he closed his mouth. Because, a pistol with a black hole hole was already aimed at his chest. And the man with the gun. It happened to be the captain of the battleship 'Hannibal'.

"You! What do you want to do? If you kill me, the court-martials will shoot you!" "Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons felt a chill rise from behind him. It made him feel cold.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we don't want to offend you, we just want to live. Surrender to the Chinese, we will not embarrass you! "said the captain of the battleship 'Hannibal'. There was a resolute look in his eyes.

Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons' mouth moved, but he didn't say anything more. He could see that if he continued to resist, the rebels would actually kill him. At this time, he was still a little timid. No one can really change their face when facing a threat to their lives.

Subsequently, under the pressure of the officers and men of the battleship 'Hannibal', the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons gave the order to surrender. On the battleship "Hannibal", the white flag was raised.

At this time, seven battleships of the Chinese Navy's home fleet were firing fiercely, trying to seize the time to wipe out the remnants of the British Navy's fleet before nightfall. But at this time, from the battleship "Hannibal", a white flag was actually raised. Subsequently, the battleships of the other British Navy also stopped firing.

"Commander, what's going on? How did the British surrender? Vice Admiral Li Haitao, chief of staff of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, said dumbfounded. Almost all the officers and men of the Chinese Navy's home fleet were shocked. Why did all of a sudden, the British stop resisting?

"Haha! Whatever the British do, it's a good thing for us! Send them the flag, we agree to their surrender, the Imperial Navy, will guarantee their safety. Come on, let the light cruisers and destroyers come up and disarm the British! Admiral Deng Shichang, commander of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, laughed. The surrender of the British Navy is also a very good thing for the Chinese Navy. Not to mention anything else, to sink these battleships of the British Navy, you need a lot of shells, and these shells are all money! If you can save it, you can save it!

Several light cruisers and destroyers of the Chinese Navy quickly approached the battleships of the British Navy. The heavily armed soldiers, after boarding the battleship of the British Navy, were not hindered in any way, and the British sailors were also very cooperative, and all of them obediently handed in their weapons. Except for the British Navy soldiers in the engine room and some key cabins who continued to work under the supervision of Chinese Navy soldiers, the rest of the British Navy soldiers were imprisoned. Including the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? The same goes for Sir Lyons. At the same time, the reason for the surrender of the British Navy so soon was also sent to Vice Admiral Li Haitao, chief of staff of the home fleet of the Chinese Navy.

"Commander, it turned out that the British Navy mutinied, and those naval officers and men, in order to survive, put the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons was arrested. This has helped us a lot! Lieutenant General Li Haitao said with a smile.

"Yes! Captain, take care of it. Anyway, he helped us! Admiral Deng Shichang said with a smile.

"Have you counted the results? His Majesty the Emperor must still be waiting for our battle report! Admiral Deng Shichang asked. Although, he already knew a rough idea in his heart, but he still wanted to see the specific number jรน. There is no doubt that in this battle, the Chinese Navy's home fleet did not suffer many casualties, but it defeated the invincible British Navy and the combined fleet composed of the British Navy.

When the United Fleet's hundreds of warships were on an expedition to China, almost the whole world was not optimistic about China. But what about now? The result of the naval battle actually made them smash their glasses on the ground. On June 22, the Chinese Navy rewrote history on this day. Britain, the first naval power in the time, completely planted a big heel in the Far East. Although, in terms of the number of battleships, Britain, which has a large number of old battleships, is still the country with the largest number of battleships, but in terms of combat power, Britain has been surpassed by China. This naval battle also fully proved that the old battleships can only be passively beaten in the face of the new battleships with strong firepower, thick armor and high speed! With its unique vision in naval development, the Chinese Navy has pushed the Chinese Navy to the top of the world in one fell swoop.

Of course, although the combat power of the Chinese navy is strong, it is also unrealistic to completely defeat the British, or to go on an expedition to the British. China does not have a naval base in the Atlantic, and after a 20,000-kilometer voyage, the performance of the warships will be greatly reduced, the soldiers will be very tired, and without logistics and supplies, it will be even more impossible to defeat the British. However, since then, the situation of the world's navy has also undergone earth-shaking changes, from the former British navy to a strong competition. With the rise of the Chinese Navy in the Far East and the rapid rise of Germany in Europe, it is no longer so easy for Britain to regain its position as the world's number one.

After the Chinese Navy defeated the combined fleet of Britain, France, and Russia, no country could stop China from winning this war. After the end of the naval war, the land war was soon over. When the time comes, it will be time for China to reap the fruits of victory. Of course, in order to obtain the fruits of victory as much as possible, China needs to continue to carry out military operations in the next period of time, such as landing in Japan, and completely destroying this country that poses a serious threat to China. Launch a further attack on the United States to ensure that it can cut a piece of fat on the United States, weaken the United States and strengthen China. All of this will depend on the continued efforts of the Imperial Army and Navy.

At 8 p.m., the fleet began to return home. At the same time, the results of the battle were also delivered to the commander of the home fleet of the Chinese Navy, Admiral Deng Shichang.

In this war, the losses of the home fleet were not large, the battleship 'Yanhuang' was heavily damaged, and the remaining seven battleships were more or less slightly damaged, but it did not affect the battle. Among the heavy cruisers, the heavy cruiser 'Tianjin' was heavily damaged, and the remaining heavy cruisers were basically slightly damaged, and no capital ships were sunk. Of the light cruisers, 6 were sunk and 7 were heavily damaged, and most of the remaining 11 were damaged. Of the destroyers, 11 were sunk, 14 were heavily damaged, and most of the remaining 25 were damaged. Navy soldiers, 1,054 killed, 987 seriously wounded, 3,215 lightly wounded.

If it is placed in normal times, such a loss is relatively large. After all, there are no less sunken and heavily damaged battleships. But in this war, it is insignificant. Compared to the losses of the Chinese Navy, the results achieved are much greater! (To be continued.) )
