In the high-profile naval battle between the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy and the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Empire inflicted heavy losses on the entire European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations at a very small cost, sinking and capturing 195 main warships of the navies of various European countries, and losing more than 1,500 warships of other types except the main warships of the European navies. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When the European countries learned of the outcome of this naval battle, they were even more mournful, knowing that the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, which had gathered almost the strength of the entire European naval power, was now beaten so badly.

Of the 84 capital warships of the British Navy, only 21 escaped, including several seriously wounded, only 11 of the 41 capital warships of the French Navy escaped, and only 5 of the 15 capital warships of the Russian Navy escaped.

Eighteen of the 59 capital ships of the German Navy escaped, seven of the 23 capital ships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, five of the 17 capital ships of the Italian Navy, only three of the 13 capital ships of the Ottoman Turkish Navy, and six of the 19 capital ships of the Spanish Navy.

The loss of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations was so miserable, but it only made the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire pay the price of 3 battle cruisers and 2 dreadnought battleships were sunk, and the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire after this decisive battle at sea, not only did not decline, but increased, after all, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Imperial Navy captured 1 aircraft carrier, 9 super dreadnought battleships, 4 battle cruisers and 3 dreadnought battleships, after repairs, they can join the active service of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

Of the 17 capital warships captured by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, in addition to 9 belonging to the British Navy, the other 8 were 1 Fryant-class super dreadnought-class battleship, 1 Dunkirk-class battlecruiser and 1 Provence-class dreadnought-class battleship of the French Navy, 1 King-class super dreadnought, 2 Bavaria-class super dreadnought-class battleships and 1 Caesar-class dreadnought-class battleship of the German Navy, and 1 Roman-class aircraft carrier of the Italian Navy.

The naval battle between the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations was most touched by the Pacific Combined Fleet of the League of Nations.

At present, in addition to the US Navy and the Japanese Navy, the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance has joined the main naval forces of three South American countries, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina, bringing the number of main warships of the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance to 88, and if the 24 Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers of the United States Navy are also counted, then the number of main warships of the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance Pacific will reach as many as 112.

However, with so many capital warships, it is much worse than the European Combined Fleet of the International Alliance, which has 271 capital warships, and now even the European Combined Fleet of the International Alliance has been severely beaten, and the navies of several countries of the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance have been frightened at once.

Originally, according to the plan, the United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations was ready to launch an attack on Wake Island of the Chinese Empire, but now after the news of the disastrous defeat of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, Admiral Sampson, commander-in-chief of the United Pacific Fleet of the International Alliance, immediately canceled the operational plan of attacking Wake Island and ordered the fleets of various countries that had already set off to immediately return to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

On August 18, 1914, the third day after the end of the naval battle between the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, in a conference room of the command of the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy, Admiral Sampson of the United States Navy said with a solemn face to the commander of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy, Heihachiro Togo, and Admiral Paul of Chile. Dias, Argentine Admiral Ogneo? Mena and Admiral Eric of Brazil? Pulgar said: "Now that the battle plan to attack Wake Island has been cancelled, what do you suggest for the next plan of our coalition Pacific Combined Fleet?" ”

Heihachiro Togo then said: "General Sampson, I have always thought that our International Alliance Pacific Combined Fleet just gave up the plan to attack Wake Island, which is a bit too hasty, although the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire defeated the powerful European Combined Fleet, but the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is not in the Pacific Ocean at present, we attack Wake Island at this time, there is no need to have a decisive battle with the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, this is also the best chance for our International Alliance Pacific Combined Fleet to take Wake Island." ”

Chilean Admiral Paulo? Dias shook his head and said: "Commander Dongxiang, according to intelligence, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire used a very advanced weapon in the naval battle with the European Combined Fleet, which can accurately hit warships on the sea from dozens of kilometers away, and the reason why the European Combined Fleet lost so badly is mainly because of this new weapon of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, I think it is very dangerous for our International Alliance Pacific Combined Fleet to take the initiative to attack before there is a way to deal with this new weapon, No one knows if the Chinese Empire will deploy this new weapon in large quantities on Wake Island! ”

Heihachiro Togo frowned and said: "The new weapon of the Chinese Empire is indeed very powerful, and the method of dealing with it if you want to study it is definitely not something that can be studied in a short period of time, but when the method of dealing with it is really studied, the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire must have returned to the Pacific Ocean, then our Pacific Combined Fleet of the International Alliance will have no chance at all!" ”

Argentine Admiral Eugnio? Mena said at this time: "Commander Dongxiang, I need to correct you, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is not without a main fleet in the Pacific Ocean, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has a total of 6 main fleets, 2 of which have been staying in the Pacific Ocean, according to intelligence, the 2 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire are in the waters near Wake Island, and our International Alliance Pacific Combined Fleet will attack Wake Island, and it will definitely fight with those 2 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire." ”

Brazilian Admiral Eric? Purgar followed: "That's true, Commander Dongxiang, according to the performance of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in the naval battle in the Strait of Hormuz, the combat effectiveness of their two main fleets will be very strong, even if our entire international alliance Pacific Combined Fleet is combined, it is not necessarily the opponent of their two main fleets. ”

Heihachiro Togo understands that the navies of the three countries in South America have been frightened by the strong strength of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and now the naval commanders of these three countries are trying their best to avoid a war with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire at sea, but what did you three countries do earlier, not long ago, Chile, Argentina and Brazil were excited to join the League of Nations, and now it is too late to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Heihachiro Togo said in a deep voice: "Everyone must be soberly aware that the Chinese Empire originally had a huge advantage in the Pacific Ocean, and many strategically important places were controlled in the hands of the Chinese Empire, especially the islands in the Pacific Ocean, and the Chinese Empire controlled at least more than 90 percent. ”

Chilean Admiral Paulo? Dias, Argentine Admiral Ogneo? Mena and Admiral Eric of Brazil? Pulgar looked at each other, and they all sighed in unison, to be honest, Chile, Argentina and Brazil really regretted joining the League of Nations, originally thought that joining the League of Nations was to join a feast to carve up the fat of the Chinese Empire, but after joining, it was found that the outside of the fat of the Chinese Empire was also wrapped in a layer of sharp steel thorns.

U.S. Admiral Sampson sighed and said: "Commander Dongxiang, since the battle plan to attack Wake Island has been canceled, let's not continue to argue on this issue here, the strength of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is beyond our previous imagination, and we must be more careful with every move of our Alliance of Nations Pacific Combined Fleet in the future, I don't want the matter of the European Combined Fleet to happen to our United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations." ”

When Togo Heihachiro heard this, he opened his mouth and did not continue to speak, but his face was a little blue, in fact, Togo Heihachiro advocated that the Alliance of Nations Pacific Combined Fleet launch an attack, hoping that the League of Nations Pacific Combined Fleet could break through the Chinese Empire's blockade of Japan's island chain as soon as possible, so as to solve Japan's dilemma of being isolated and helpless.

U.S. Admiral Sampson then said: "It seems that everyone should have no idea about the next plan of our international coalition Pacific Combined Fleet for the time being, so the navies of several of our countries will temporarily stay here at Pearl Harbor to respond to all changes, deter the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific Ocean, and wait for the situation to change." ”

Heihachiro Togo sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the Americans are also afraid, but the United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations is cowering at Pearl Harbor, so what about the Japanese mainland?

After leaving the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, Heihachiro Togo returned to the harbor of Pearl Harbor and returned to the bridge of the Japanese Navy's Hosho-class aircraft carrier Hosho, which is currently the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, in a small transport boat.

After the captain of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang, Yuzaburo Kato, saw Heihachiro Togo returning, he asked urgently, "Your Excellency Commander, what do the naval commanders of other countries say?" When will we, the coalition of Nations, launch plans for the offensive of the Combined Pacific Fleet? ”

Heihachiro Togo shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The navies of the United States and the three South American countries were frightened by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack the islands of the Chinese Empire. ”

When Yuzaburo Kato heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Your Excellency, the United Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations is staying at Pearl Harbor, so what should we do about the mainland of Japan?" You must know that when we came to Pearl Harbor this time, we brought almost all the Japanese warships, and now there are some small gunboats and patrol ships left in the entire Japanese waters, which means that Japan's coastline has no naval protection, and once the Chinese Empire launches an attack on our Japanese Empire, the consequences will be very serious. ”

Heihachiro Togo sighed and said: "I don't know the danger facing the Japanese mainland at the moment, but the navies of the other four countries of the Pacific Combined Fleet of the International Alliance are not willing to provoke the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire at this time, and would rather retreat at Pearl Harbor, even if the Chinese Empire threatens the mainland of their country, regardless of it, it is impossible for us to forcibly order the naval fleets of the four countries to attack the direction of the Japanese mainland together with our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet." ”

Kato Yuzaburo gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, it's really not okay for our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet to withdraw to the Japanese mainland!" Japan's coastline needs to be guarded by our Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet! ”

Heihachiro Togo said gloomily: "Of course, I also want to lead the entire Japanese Navy Combined Fleet back to the Japanese mainland, but Kato-kun, you must know that the strength of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire far exceeds that of our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, once our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet is separated from the US Navy, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire only needs to dispatch the two main fleets currently in the Pacific Ocean, which can easily bring disaster to our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet." ”

After a pause, Togo Heihachiro continued to say helplessly: "It's not that I'm afraid of fighting with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, but our combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was almost formed by the bankruptcy of our Great Japanese Empire, and if it is destroyed in my hands like this, I, Togo Heihachiro, will become a sinner of the Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Kato Yuzaburo said bitterly: "Your Excellency Commander, I also know that the strength of our Japanese Navy's combined fleet is far worse than that of the Imperial Chinese Navy, but what should I do next?" Don't you care about our native Japan? The Chinese Empire may launch a landing attack on our Japanese mainland at any time! ”

Heihachiro Togo hesitated for a moment and said: "First send a telegram to Prime Minister Katsura Taro, explain the situation of our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, if Japan needs our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet to return home, it is to risk being completely annihilated by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, I will also lead the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet back to the Japanese mainland!" In addition, now the main force of the army forces of the Chinese Empire is pinned down on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and in a short period of time, the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire should still be safe!
