On the sea, the sound of artillery has stopped, but the warships that are burning or sinking undoubtedly represent what a tragic naval battle has been experienced in this sea area. The warships of the Chinese Navy are rescuing the German sailors and sailors who have fallen overboard. Although, a moment ago, they were enemies of life and death. But now that the war is over, there is naturally no need to fight any more.

On a lifeboat, Vice Admiral Müller, chief of staff of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, was starless, looking at the wreckage of the German Navy's warships, and the whole person was speechless. The crushing defeat of the German Navy, for him, was too much of a blow. Originally, when the fleet left the port, they were full of confidence and ambitious to pull the Chinese Navy from the position of world hegemon. But now, everything shows how ridiculous their ambitions are. In the face of the powerful Chinese Navy, the German Navy is undoubtedly a clown.

"It's over, the German Navy is finished, and Germany is finished." Lieutenant General Müller muttered. Admiral Philip, commander of the High Seas Fleet, had sunk into the sea with the flagship battleship Helgoland. In this way, he was responsible for the defeat of the German Navy. It's just that Lieutenant General Müller didn't have the courage to face death, so he chose to live in secret. However, he will soon learn that it is no better to live than to die.

At Lieutenant General Muller's side was Thomas. Sir Simmonds, though he was an adviser to the German Navy, was nothing more than an Englishman. The German Navy was badly damaged and the main forces were destroyed, but he was not obliged to die for the German Navy. Moreover. Britain had given enough support to the German Navy. Had it not been for Britain, Germany would never have had the strength to build such a powerful navy in just a few years. Of course. At first, the British also wanted to take revenge with the help of the Germans. It's just that what they didn't expect was. In the end, it failed. The hastily rising German Navy was no match for the Chinese at all.

"The world of the future is Chinese. Whether it is a world hegemon or a maritime hegemon, it is all Chinese, and no country can confront the Chinese. The world will return to the domination of the Orientals. "Thomas. Simmonds said secretly in the final. After defeating the Spaniards, the British became the new maritime hegemon, which lasted for hundreds of years. Now the Chinese have consolidated their position as maritime hegemon, probably for hundreds of years to come. No country can shake the hegemony of the Chinese.

On the battleship Ming Xuanzong, the flagship of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy, the officers and men of the Chinese Navy were already celebrating the victory. Originally, the battle between them would have been a difficult one. But now it seems that this battle is very easy to win. The 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy lost only one battleship, the battleship Song Yingzong, and the remaining three battleships suffered heavy losses. Most of the remaining dozens of battleships suffered only minor injuries. Such results are undoubtedly huge. At least, of the twenty-eight battleships of the German Navy, except for two old battleships. The rest of the battleships were sunk. This is undoubtedly a huge victory. The 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy has completely gained the upper hand, and the Germans will never have a chance to turn over. If the Germans lost this naval battle, they would lose their future national fortunes.

"Commander. This is an unprecedented victory! According to the results of the statistics, it has been possible to determine the German Navy, with the exception of the battleship 'Vidin' and the 'Kaiser. Except for the battleship Karl the Great, the rest of the battleships were sunk. And we lost only one battleship 'Song Yingzong'. From now on. The German Navy was no longer to worry about. Admiral Ye Feng, chief of staff of the fleet, said excitedly.

"The third ship of the battleship 'Widin class' 'Wichelsbach class', 'Caesar. The battleship Karl the Great' was 'Caesar. The third ship of the Frederick III class's battleships. These two battleships. The performance is not strong, even if it is fixed. It will not pose any threat to the Imperial Navy. It seems that the Germans have really been completely knocked down from the abyss this time. Vice Admiral Luo Yuhu, commander of the 1st Battleship Detachment, also said.

"Well, send a telegram to the country, and report the good news to His Majesty the Emperor. The 5th fleet, did not disappoint His Majesty, we won. Admiral Lu Haipeng said excitedly. This battle can be regarded as a complete establishment of the Chinese Navy's indisputable maritime supremacy.

"Yes, Commander." Chief of Staff, Admiral Ye Feng, nodded. He and Lu Haipeng are both generals. However, with this victory, after the war, the two of them will definitely be able to be promoted to the rank of admiral, becoming the second and third marshals in the history of the imperial navy.

When the Imperial Navy confirmed the results of the battle and was ready to report the good news to the country. The Germans, for their part, were the first to receive news of a crushing defeat in the naval battle. When Admiral Philipp, commander of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, chose to sink to the bottom of the sea with the flagship battleship Helgoland, he sent a telegram to China. In the telegram, Admiral Philip pessimistically believed that the German Navy's vain attempt to challenge the Chinese Navy's maritime supremacy was a fundamental mistake, which completely deprived the German Navy of the opportunity to develop.

Admiral Philip also figured out at this time, if Germany was not so eager to challenge the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire, but chose to recognize China's hegemony, and then endure it, slowly develop, and slowly accumulate strength. In this case, Germany might not have suffered such a crushing defeat. Although, the German Navy, with the help of the British, built the largest number of battleships. However, this did not represent the strength of the German Navy. The German navy was like a castle built on the sand, which would collapse at the slightest push. The Chinese Navy, on the other hand, is a high-rise building with a solid foundation. The German Navy's vain attempt to defeat the Chinese Navy was simply a blow to a stone with an egg.

It's just that Admiral Philip woke up too late. The German Navy had already failed, and there was little hope for Germany to win the war, at least for now. After the victory of the Chinese Empire in the war, Germany would inevitably be dismembered. A strong German Empire, which was not in the interests of the Chinese Empire. Once the German Empire was dismembered, Germany would forever lose the opportunity to challenge the Chinese Empire. And the German Navy will never develop into a world-class navy.

In Berlin, the capital of Germany, the sun is still below the horizon and has not risen. However, the German military and political officials had already gathered at the Imperial Palace. Kaiser Wilhelm I's Imperial Council has not actually ended since yesterday. When the German Navy's High Seas Fleet and the Chinese Navy began to exchange fire, Kaiser Wilhelm I and others were waiting for the outcome of the naval battle. The German Minister of the Navy, Prince Felix, had been sitting at the Admiralty, waiting for news from the front.

"Bang!" The door to the office was opened at once, and the young face of the secretary officer of the Admiralty appeared in front of Prince Felix. However, the face that usually looks very sunny and full of confidence is pale at this moment. Suddenly, Prince Felix's heart was lifted at once. He knew that when the secretary came to see him at this time, there must be news from the navy. Judging by the secretary's reaction, this does not seem to be good news. However, Prince Felix is a man who has seen strong winds and waves after all. He suppressed his emotions and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there any news coming? ”

"Your Royal Highness, Admiral Philip's telegram." The secretary said.

"Admiral Philip's telegram, give it to me quickly." Prince Felix was shocked and hurriedly said.

The secretary hurriedly handed the telegram to Prince Felix, and then stood by and said nothing. Prince Felix, on the other hand, took a quick look at the telegram. However, his face soon turned black as if it was the bottom of a pot.

"Failed, it was a failure. It's a complete fiasco! After so many years of accumulation, I lost all my essence in one day. The German Navy is completely finished, finished! Prince Felix looked distressed.

"Your Royal Highness." The secretary tried to comfort Prince Felix, but he didn't know what to say.

"Prepare a carriage for me, I'm going to the palace." Prince Felix struggled to suppress his emotions and then said. The German Navy had already suffered a crushing defeat, and it was almost impossible to hide the news. What's more, the German Navy has failed, and it is up to everyone to decide what to do next. Otherwise, what will Germany do next?

When Prince Felix arrived at the palace, Kaiser Wilhelm I and others were already waiting for him.

"Your Royal Highness, has the naval battle come to an end? Has the High Seas Fleet already defeated the Chinese 5th Fleet? Before William I could speak, Crown Prince William couldn't help it and asked eagerly.

The eyes of the others also fell on Prince Felix. What Crown Prince William wanted to ask was exactly what they wanted to know.

"Your Majesty, the German Navy has lived up to your expectations." Prince Felix bowed his head heavily, and his tone was full of apology and remorse. The establishment of the German High Seas Fleet could not have been achieved without the strong support of Kaiser Wilhelm I, otherwise the German Navy would not have been able to develop in a short period of time. After all, from the beginning of the Kingdom of Prussia, they were an army power, and the navy was never taken seriously. However, it was with Wilhelm I that there was the German Navy. However, in the end, they rewarded William I with a crushing defeat. (To be continued......)
