Several of the British Navy's 'Southampton-class' light cruisers fled quickly, and the Imperial Navy sent a number of warships in pursuit, but it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net. After all, in this naval battle, the two sides combined have a total of hundreds of warships fighting in this vast sea area, and it is almost impossible to completely blockade it. The Imperial Navy could only focus on the capital ships of the British Navy.

At 3:45 p.m., the lead ship of the Imperial Navy returned to the waters of the war. When the majestic and upright bodies of the eight mighty battleships appeared on the sea, the officers and men of the Imperial Navy cheered. They knew that this time the Imperial Navy had another victory.

The British Navy, on the other hand, was silent, and its heart was full of sorrow. They knew that the 'Nelson-class' warships of the British Navy were probably all destroyed. Otherwise, the capital ships of the Chinese Navy would not have returned so soon.

"Send a telegram to the British, asking them to surrender to us at once! Otherwise, we'll sink them all! Vice Admiral Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy, said. Now that the Imperial Navy has won this naval battle, what needs to be done is to further expand the results. In this way, the interests of the Imperial Navy can be guaranteed.

Although, these battleships of the British, including those battleships. The Imperial Navy looked down on it. However, if you can repair it and sell it to your allies in the Empire, you can make a lot of money.

"Hmm!" Vice Admiral Ye Feng, chief of staff of the fleet, nodded.

The communications officers of the Imperial Navy sent a letter of surrender to the British Navy by clear code, and not only the flagship of the British Navy received the telegram. The rest of the battleships also received telegrams. Compared to the Fleet Commander George. Admiral Satrus. The rest of the British, for the most part, didn't want to die. Originally. They thought that this time they were going to die. However, I didn't expect the Chinese Navy to persuade them to surrender. That's the case. If they were able to surrender, their lives would have been spared.

Of course, this qiē is not something that ordinary soldiers can decide, and it depends on the commander's will. However, almost the vast majority of British naval officers and sailors wanted to survive. Countless people looked at the position of the flagship with hopeful eyes, and they hoped that the commander of the fleet, George . Admiral Satrus was able to fully take into account their interests.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese demand that we surrender. Otherwise, they'll start attacking. They only gave us half an hour to think about it! "A communications officer took the plunge to George. Admiral Satrus said.

"Damn it!" George. Admiral Satrus cursed. As an officer in the British Royal Navy. Everyone should fight to the end for the glory of the Royal Navy, even if it is to the death. How could the glory of the Royal Navy be tarnished in such a way?

However, after fighting so far, does the British Navy still have the capital to fight? There were only six battleships left, and the four battleships that had suffered heavy losses were barely unsinkable, and if they continued to fight, they would probably be sunk soon. The other two battleships, which were slightly damaged, were once besieged by the Chinese Navy. The end can be imagined. It can be said that if the battle continues, there is only one way to die.

George. Admiral Satrus was actually very aggrieved in his heart, originally the British Navy had a great advantage in this battle. They have 4 more capital ships than the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. They have almost twice as many warships as the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy. But in the end, the result was a crushing defeat for the British Navy. The main culprit for this is undoubtedly the torpedo attack launched by the Chinese Navy. This is undoubtedly a groundbreaking method of attack. The British Navy was not prepared for this. So much so that their lead ship, under the lightning strike of the Chinese Navy, suffered heavy losses.

And this. It directly led the British Navy to lose the war. It can be said that the reason why this war ended so quickly. Solely because of the lightning strikes launched by the Chinese Navy. Otherwise, if the Chinese Navy wants to win the war, I am afraid it will have to fight for a while. Moreover, the war will not be won at such a small cost, and the price paid will definitely be much greater.

In the face of the Chinese Navy's persuasion, as the commander of the British Navy's Home Fleet, George . Admiral Satrus was supposed to refuse, and then lead the fleet to fight to the end, in order to preserve the glory of the Royal Navy. But when he saw the expectant stares of others, he wavered.

"What do you think I should do? Surrender to the Chinese, or fight to the end? "George. Admiral Satrus asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, let's surrender to the Chinese! We have already lost this war, there is no need to pay unnecessary casualties! "The first to speak was the captain of the USS Collingwood. Originally, he tried to get George. Admiral Satrus left the dangerous 'Collingwood'. However, then the loophole was plugged and it was safe for the time being.

George. Admiral Satrus's face changed, but he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

The other officers also expressed their opinions. Undoubtedly, they all agreed that there was no need to continue fighting. In this battle, the British Navy has already lost. If you lose, you have to admit defeat, otherwise, they will all be killed by the Chinese. To put it bluntly, these people are afraid of death. After all, not everyone is willing to give their lives for the sake of so-called glory.

"Well, then according to your wishes, surrender to the Chinese!" George. Admiral Satrus said helplessly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The captain of the 'Collingwood' hurriedly said.

The rest of the British naval officers were all relieved. Many people have expressions on their faces that they will survive the catastrophe.

When the white flags were raised from the warships of the British Navy, it undoubtedly meant that the naval battle was over. The British Navy's home fleet lost a complete defeat in this naval battle.

"Commander, the British have surrendered, we have won, we have won this battle!" On the battleship 'Emperor Wu of Han', the flagship of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Vice Admiral Ye Feng, chief of staff of the fleet, roared excitedly.

"Yes, we won!" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng said calmly. As the commander of the fleet, this time he had to fight the British Navy alone with the 5th Fleet, and the pressure on him was also very great. Fortunately, the final result was a victory for the 5th Fleet, and it was a complete victory at a small cost. Such a result, even he himself did not expect.

"Hooray! Long live the Imperial Navy! The officers and men of the 5th Fleet shouted loudly. They have been waiting for this victory for a long time.

"Chief of Staff, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go sleep first!" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng said with a smile. With the merits of this battle, after the end of the war, he could no longer run away from being promoted to admiral.

"Okay, Commander!" Lieutenant General Ye Feng nodded, he also knew how much pressure Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng had been under during this time.

Next, the Imperial Navy sent personnel to receive the warships of the British Navy, which would be the trophies of the Imperial Navy from now on. The British may have really despaired, and in the face of the officers and men of the Imperial Navy who boarded their warships, none of them resisted, and they were very obedient. However, there is still a strong anger in the eyes of many people. After all, it is the Chinese Navy that ruined their glory and their future.

However, in order to survive, they had to surrender to the Chinese Navy. From this, we can also see the helplessness of these British naval officers and men.

In addition, the Imperial Navy also began to count the results and losses of the battle. The naval battle was over, and they had to report the situation to the country as best they could. The great Emperor Xià is still waiting for their good news!

It wasn't until late in the evening that this was done. Vice Admiral Ye Feng, chief of staff of the 5th Fleet, handed over a battle report to Vice Admiral Lu Haipeng, commander of the fleet.

"Sink five battleships and capture six. Sink four 'Nelson' warships and capture four. In addition, it sank 23 warships of other sizes and captured more than 30 warships of other sizes. Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng looked at the figures of sunk and captured in the battle report, and was very satisfied. In particular, of the 12 battleships of the British Navy, except for the battleship 'Birmingham', which was withdrawn from the battle ahead of schedule, the rest of the battleships were sunk or captured.

"What about our losses?" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng asked.

"We had a total of seven ships sunk, and another four were heavily damaged. The rest were minor injuries. The 8 capital ships were all slightly injured, and it did not affect the next battle! Lieutenant General Ye Feng said. Although the Imperial Navy won this battle, this did not mean that the war was over. In the absence of the end of the war, the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy had to continue to fight.

"Hmmm! Send good news to His Majesty and the General Staff! Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng nodded. In any case, the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy has achieved an unprecedented victory this time. This big victory will even directly affect the outcome of this war.

"Well, the good news is already ready. Once you've nodd, you're ready to send it back! Lieutenant General Ye Feng said.

Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng took a look and quickly signed his name. Then the telegram draft was handed over to Lieutenant General Ye Feng.

Vice Admiral Ye Feng immediately arranged for someone to send the telegram back, and the radio waves carried the news of the great victory of the Imperial Navy, which traveled thousands of miles and reached the Imperial Empire on the other side of the world. The telegram was received in the palace telegraph room and the telegraph room of the General Staff, which had been waiting for news. (To be continued......)
