In addition, other types of warships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy sank 2 large fast armored cruisers, 8 fast protection cruisers, 7 destroyers and 1 torpedo boat.
The main battleships of the Italian Navy also sank 3 Roman-class aircraft carriers, 1 Doria-class super dreadnought, 1 Litorio-class super dreadnought, 1 Leonardo-class battlecruiser and 1 Count Cavour-class dreadnought, as well as 1 Roman-class aircraft carrier and 1 Leonardo da Vinci-class battlecruiser seriously damaged, leaving only 8 capital battleships of the Italian Navy that can maintain combat effectiveness.

Captain Mark of the British Navy HMS Queen Elizabeth? Milligan saw the commander-in-chief of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, John? Jericho's face became darker and darker, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Commander, now there are only 40 capital warships left in our Royal Navy of the British Empire to continue fighting, plus 18 ships left in the French Navy, 8 ships left in the Russian Navy, 30 ships left in the German Navy, 10 ships left in the Austro-Hungarian Navy, 8 ships left in the Italian Navy, 5 ships left in the Ottoman Turkish Navy, 8 ships left in the Spanish Navy, and only 127 ships. ”
And then Mark? Miligan persuaded again: "Compared with the 271 main warships before our European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, more than half of them have been lost at present, and the morale of the navies of the European Combined Fleet of our League of Nations is also very low, or this time we will give up the opportunity to defeat the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and when our United European Fleet of the League of Nations is more prepared, we will come to the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire to fight to the death." ”
John? Jericho smiled bitterly, almost all the strength of the navies of European countries has been gathered here, and this time the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations has retreated, so after returning to Europe, it is impossible to get even one capital warship to replenish it in a short time.
John? Jericho's self-confidence at this time has been shaken a little, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire did not use anti-ship missiles in this round of carrier-based aircraft group attacks, but the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is equipped with these carrier-based aircraft The performance is very good, although in this round of attack, the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire have lost a lot, but it has also sunk quite a lot of warships of the navies of European countries, including many super dreadnought battleships with rough skin and thick flesh, This is equivalent to John, who thinks that he can block the conventional attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire with anti-aircraft fire? Jericho, a hard slap.
But just retreat, John? Jericho is also unwilling, to Mark? Miligan asked, "Hasn't our radar found any trace of the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire?" ”
Mark? Miligan shook his head and said: "It is likely that the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has a new equipment that can shield radar search, the previous fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, as well as several waves of carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, the radars of our three countries, Britain, France and Germany, did not show anything." ”
John? Jellico was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is there any news about the destroyer sent out?" ”
After dozens of warships of the Second Task Force and the Third Task Force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire launched a medium-range anti-ship missile attack, the British Navy dispatched four destroyers with a maximum speed of 32 knots to form a search team to follow the retreating two task force aircraft carrier groups and dozens of warships to search in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz.
Mark? Milligan still shook his head and said: "The four destroyers have not sent any news back, commander, if it is decided, our European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations is already at a disadvantage in this naval battle, and we still underestimate the strength of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire." ”
John? Captain Jerry sighed and said, "Ask the naval commanders of other countries for their opinions!" Ask them if they agree......"
The huge losses of the navies of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, as well as the inability to find the main forces of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, finally made John? Jericho was about to give up, but before he could finish his words, one of the British lieutenant commanders in charge of communications on the bridge of the Queen Elizabeth shouted loudly: "Commander, captain, the search team in front sent back a telegram that about 45 nautical miles away from our League of Nations European Combined Fleet, the traces of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire were found, but only the huge fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, dominated by super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers, was found, and not a single enemy aircraft carrier was found, And this huge enemy fleet is coming towards us. ”
John? When Jericho heard this, he quickly looked at the nautical charts on the table next to him, and then raised his head and said in a deep voice to the captain of the Queen Elizabeth, Mark? Milligan said: "Now that the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has appeared, and our Royal Navy of the British Empire has no reason to retreat without a fight, I have decided to lead the entire Union of Nations European Combined Fleet to continue to move forward and fight to the death with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire!" ”
Mark? Milligan opened his mouth and did not continue to persuade, but nodded slowly and said: "Since the commander has made up his mind, then I am willing to follow His Excellency the commander and fight for the honor of our Royal Navy of the British Empire, but I don't know if the naval commanders of other countries, in the current situation of such great losses, still have the confidence to fight to the death with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire?" ”
John? Jericho ordered: "Immediately inform the commanders of the navies of other countries of the news of the discovery of the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, no matter what choice they have, our Royal Navy of the British Empire will not back down!" ”
In the bridge of the German Navy's Frederick the Great-class super-dreadnought battleship Frederick the Great, the captain of the Frederick the Great, Matthias? Ginter vs. German Admiral Lucas? Digne said in a deep voice: "Commander, the destroyers sent by the British have found traces of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire about 45 nautical miles away from our entire European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, but they have not found their aircraft carriers, and the British are ready to continue to advance and fight to the death with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire!" But the losses of our German Navy were too great, especially the main battleships! ”
Lucas? Digne pondered for a moment and said: "Our German Navy has sunk 11 aircraft carriers, 4 super dreadnought battleships, 3 battle cruisers and 7 dreadnought battleships, at this time we retreated, how can we explain to Your Majesty when we go back?" Could it be that we told Your Majesty that our German Navy did not see the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, but because the losses were too great, they retreated! ”
Mathias? Ginter said hesitantly: "Commander, but our entire European Combined Fleet of the International Alliance has lost its air power, so it will be very passive to have a decisive battle with the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire can always send carrier-based aircraft to carry out air attacks on the navies of our European countries." ”
Lucas? Digne gritted his teeth and said: "At this time, we can only gamble once, if our League of Nations European Combined Fleet is defeated, then the impact on this war will be great!" ”
Inside the bridge of the French Navy's Paris-class super-dreadnought battleship Paris, the captain of the Paris, Arau? Diarra vs. French Admiral Christopher? Arrais said, "Your Excellency, the British Navy John? Admiral Jericho sent a telegram that the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had been discovered in the sea about 45 nautical miles from our coalition of Nations European Combined Fleets. Admiral Jericho hopes that the navies of all countries can continue to advance with the British Navy and fight to the death with the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire! ”
Christopher? Yalai sighed and said, "Diarra, what is your opinion?" The Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is really terrifying, our European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations has not seen the shadow of their main fleet, it has already suffered heavy losses, the main warships of the navies of various countries have lost more than half, our French Navy has sunk 19 capital warships, and 4 main warships have lost their combat effectiveness, which we France have saved by frugality for many years. ”
Captain of the USS Paris, Arau? Diarra thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is precisely because our French Navy has suffered heavy losses that we should continue to fight with the British Navy, otherwise our Navy will return to France and will not be able to explain to the government and the people, and we will also become sinners of the French Republic!" ”
Christopher? Yalai nodded and said: "Our French Navy has been preparing for many years for this decisive battle with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and if we don't see the shadow of the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, we will retreat, which is really not the same thing!" Reply to John of the British Navy? Admiral Jericho, as a staunch ally of the British Navy, our French Navy will always fight alongside the British Navy! ”
The British Navy and the French Navy, as the two most influential navies in the Entente, were ready to fight to the death with the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Glushakov, with a slight hesitation, also agreed to move on, preparing for a decisive battle with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.
When the main forces of the Russian Navy set out from Russia, Tsar Nicholas II gave it to Denis? Glushakov sent a telegram telling him that the main forces of the Imperial Chinese Navy must be defeated at all costs.
As the boss of the Allied powers, the German navy was willing to continue to advance, and the commanders of the navies of the other four Allied countries struggled for a while, and finally all agreed to move on, ready to give it a go with the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy.
And the Belgian Navy, which played soy sauce, saw that the navies of other countries continued to advance, so they could only keep up.
As a result, the European Combined Fleet, which was still a huge coalition of Nations, left behind some warships that had been seriously injured and had lost their combat effectiveness, and continued to advance in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz. (To be continued.) )
