The large-scale naval battle between China and Japan has come to an end. Although, at this time, it was only the middle of the day, and from the beginning of the battle to the present, it was only a little more than three hours. But the victory or defeat between the Chinese Empire and the Japanese Empire, the two most powerful empires in the Far East, had already been revealed in three hours. It was the Chinese Empire that won, and they completely washed away the shame of more than a decade ago.

All observers were shocked by the outcome of this naval battle. Almost all the great powers believed that the final victor would definitely belong to Japan. Because, the Japanese navy is stronger, and they have several times more capital ships than the Chinese navy. The military quality of the officers and men of the Japanese Navy was also much stronger than that of the Chinese Navy, which suffered a crushing defeat in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle. Even if the Chinese Navy has an advantage in the performance of warships, the Japanese Navy will be able to win the final victory at most by paying a little more price.

However, in the end, it was the Chinese Navy that won the naval battle cleanly. And it won the naval battle at a very small cost, and all the warships of the Chinese Navy, from submarines to destroyers, light cruisers and battleships, and battle cruisers, were not sunk in the battle, at most they were severely damaged, and they needed to be overhauled by the shipyard. Such losses are nothing at all for a large-scale naval battle. Of course, this is even more true judging by the results obtained by the Chinese Navy.

The Japanese Navy took part in the battle with 12 battleships, 8 armored cruisers, 10 light cruisers and forty destroyers. Only a dozen warships escaped back to the Sasebo naval base. Of these, there was only one battleship, and that was the battered battleship 'Zhoufang', a battleship of the Russians captured by the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War. Although the displacement was as high as 13,500 tons, the armament was the same as that of the battleship 'Sagami', and the main guns were two twin 254-mm guns. Such a main gun. In the face of the capital ships of the Imperial Navy, there is not much lethality at all. What's even worse is that after suffering heavy losses, the battleship will not be repaired at all if it does not stay in the shipyard for three or four months.

Of the armored cruisers, only one escaped because of heavy losses. That was the armored cruiser "Azuma". It was a formidable battleship with a displacement of more than nine thousand tons and two twin 203-mm guns. In the Japanese Navy, there has always been the existence of second-class capital ships second only to battleships. However, of the eight majestic armored cruisers, only one is now left. In addition, the armored cruiser "Azuma" also suffered heavy damage, and it would take about two or three months to repair it.

As for the ten light cruisers, all of them sank. These old light cruisers. Performance is inherently terrible. Of the forty destroyers, more than a dozen escaped. Most of them were escorted away by the battleship "Zhoufang" and the armored cruiser "Azuma". At that time, the main energy of the Imperial Navy was focused on attacking the main forces of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, and did not care about these small warships that slipped away.

This was the case several times, and in this battle, the main force of the Japanese Navy was all lost here. More than 95 percent of the combat strength was lost in this battle. Even if the Japanese Navy wants to re-emerge, it will not be possible in a few years. And a few years later, the strength of the Chinese Navy. It's definitely going to be even stronger than it is now. It is unlikely that the Japanese Navy will once again gain superiority over the Chinese Navy.

"How big are our losses?" Admiral Sa Zhen Ice stood on the bridge of the battleship 'Longteng'. Asked. Admiral Cheng Biguang also arrived from the battlecruiser 'Long Yao'.

"Our losses were not significant, and of the four capital ships, except for the battlecruiser 'Longhui', which was slightly more seriously wounded, the remaining three battleships were able to continue the battle. On the side of light cruisers and destroyers, several light cruisers were only slightly wounded and did not affect the battle. However, several of the destroyers were badly damaged and needed to be repaired back to the military port. Admiral Cheng Biguang said.

"What a blessing for the country! We finally won. also avenged the robes who died in battle more than ten years ago. Lao Cheng. Give a good news to His Royal Highness the Prince. Admiral Sa Zhenbing said.

"Well, okay. Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already in a hurry. Admiral Cheng Biguang said with a happy face.

"Commander, should we save those little Japan who fell into the sea?" Admiral Cheng Biguang said as he glanced at the Japanese soldiers who were floating on the sea holding wooden planks.

"Save them? Why? During the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, didn't we have enough robes to die? Those little Japan. But the one who took the rifle and shot our brother who fell overboard. Now, we are not retaliating with a tooth for a tooth, and we are already worthy of them. Let them destroy themselves. Admiral Sa Zhen said directly.

It is simply impossible for him to order the rescue of those little Japan who have fallen into the water. Don't forget how those Japanese treated the Chinese during the Sino-Japanese Naval War. What's more, the Navy is no better than the Army. After a few months of training, the army will be able to send it to the battlefield. But the navy is different, without a long period of accumulation, it is simply impossible to become a qualified sailor. Therefore, when the Navy recruits, it is often those who recruit seafarers. Although the warships of the Japanese Navy have been almost wiped out, if these sailors who have fallen into the water return, it will not be a few years before the Japanese will rebuild a powerful navy. If these sailors died, the time for the Japanese Navy to regain its strength would probably have to be delayed for several years. This is undoubtedly the most beneficial for China. China can once again get a few years to develop. At the current rate of development in China, it is expected that the Japanese will be able to leave the Japanese firmly behind in a few years.

Cheng Biguang nodded, he knew very well what Admiral Sa Zhenbing meant. In this case, albeit a little cruel. However, little Japan is originally a wolf ambition, and if you are kind to them, you will be cruel to yourself.

"However, if we don't save it, the British and the French will save it, and maybe the Americans will also save these Japanese." Admiral Cheng Biguang said. Britain was an ally of Japan, and the positions of France and the United States would certainly change with the end of the naval battle.

"How many people can they save on their boats? Besides, it's the coldest time in the sea. Those little Japan fell into the sea for a long time. I guess I've been frozen. Soon, he will be frozen to death. Admiral Sa Zhen had a cold smile on his face.

Those who did not experience the First Sino-Japanese War could not appreciate their unforgettable hatred for the Japanese.

After the end of the war, the warships of the Imperial Navy began to leave the seas, and the observation ships of other countries, out of humanitarian considerations, began to rescue the Japanese at sea. The commander of the British Far East Fleet even asked the Chinese Navy to join in the rescue, but Admiral Sa Zhenbing replied directly that the Imperial Navy needed to return to port to repair the damaged warships, and there was no time to pay attention to the Japanese. Then, just left.

This made the British very dissatisfied with this, and also made the empire's international reputation stink again. Of course, no one cares about that anymore. If you could trade notoriety for the death of all Japanese, it would be a good choice.

Lushun Military Port, although it was already noon, Wu Haoxuan was still guarding the telegraph room, even if the chief of the guard, Zhao Hu, repeatedly urged him to go to lunch, he was indifferent.

Wu Haoxuan hoped to be able to learn the result of the naval battle as soon as possible, and he didn't believe it anywhere until he got the news.

"Tick tock!"

The sound of the telegraph machine kept coming, and soon the communications officer who translated the telegram became excited.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a telegram from the commander." The communications officer shouted loudly.

"What?" Wu Haoxuan rushed over and snatched the telegram with one hand.

At this moment, the telegram was not translated, only the first few sentences were translated. However, this is enough. Admiral Sa Zhenbing, commander of the Imperial Navy, reported to Wu Haoxuan in a telegram that the Imperial Navy had defeated the Japanese Navy in one fell swoop and won an unprecedented victory. Of the 12 battleships of the Japanese Navy, all but one of them escaped with heavy damage, and the rest of the eight armored cruisers were also heavily damaged, and the rest were sunk. Light cruisers and destroyers, even more heavy losses, only a few escaped. The losses of the Imperial Navy were negligible, and no battleships were sunk, at most they were seriously damaged.

"Win, we win!" Wu Haoxuan roared excitedly.

After so much preparation, they finally defeated the Japanese and became the overlord of the Far East. This undoubtedly shows that their efforts over the years have not been in vain!

"Quick, send a telegram to Yanjing, Prime Minister, they are still waiting for the results." Wu Haoxuan ordered excitedly.

Yanjing, Imperial General Staff. The prime minister, Yang Hua, and a group of cabinet ministers, are all waiting for the outcome of the naval battle here. The outcome of a naval battle is directly related to the outcome of this war. Everyone is a little anxious, the empire has just been established, if the empire can win this naval battle, it will be a great boost for the cohesion of the empire. If it fails, it will also have a huge impact on the empire.

"We won, we won, we got a big win."

A staff officer burst into the chamber and reported to the ministers.

"God has eyes, our Chinese Empire has finally won." Yang Du was very excited. The other ministers, some of them were even in tears. The entire General Staff became a sea of joy. (To be continued.) )
