The Spanish Navy suffered heavy losses in this naval battle. Of the 12 capital ships, only six remained in the end, half of which were lost. There was no damage to the light warship. However, they also sank four capital ships of the British Navy, so that the losses of the Spanish Navy were not very large. Of course, in this battle, it was still the Spanish Navy that lost!

"Hell!" On the battleship 'Madrid', the flagship of the Spanish Navy, Admiral San Miguel slammed a hard punch on the table. Although, he had expected it before the war, because the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious, and it was unlikely that the Spanish Navy would win. However, in the end, the war ended with the loss of six capital ships and then having to flee, which was somewhat difficult for Admiral San Miguel to accept. Two of the most powerful battleships also lost one, much to the distress of Admiral San Miguel.

"General, is this a prepared battle report, do you want to give it to the Admiralty?" A staff officer said.

Admiral San Miguel took a look, and it showed the losses and achievements of the Spanish Navy in this naval battle, the Spanish Navy lost one 'Qin-class' battleship, three 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleships and two 'Western Zhou-class' battleships, and they sank one 'Ajax-class' battleship, one 'Ravage'-class' battleship, one 'Nelson-class' battleship and one 'Orlando-class' battleship, and six 'Pearl class' cruisers.

Judging by the comparison of the warships lost by both sides, the results achieved by the Spanish Navy were actually not small. It's just that with the loss of more and more warships, the gap in strength between the two sides has further widened. If the fighting continued, the Spanish Navy would surely suffer even more heavy losses. Retreating now is the best option. However, Admiral San Miguel was still a little unwilling.

"Give it to Duke Aguilera!" Admiral San Miguel said.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded.

"Damn the British, wait! When our allies arrive, it's time for you to die! Admiral San Miguel looked at the British fleet that was chasing and said viciously. Because of the disparity in strength, the Spanish Navy lost this naval battle. However, that doesn't mean they'll lose in the end. The 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy will soon arrive, and by then, with the strength of the Chinese Navy, it will definitely be able to defeat those British. The Spanish Navy, already the final victor.

On the battleship 'Agamemnon'.

"Damn Spaniards, cowards as mouses, they actually chose to run away? This is simply outrageous! ”。 Now the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy has completely gained the upper hand. If he had been given a few more hours, he would have been able to win the final victory. The powerful Mediterranean Fleet will send all the warships of the Spanish Navy to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, it's already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and in another hour, it will be dark. The current warships do not yet have the ability to fight at night.

"General, the Spaniards are on the run, we must catch up with them and destroy them all!" Although, outwardly, the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy was victorious. However, their losses were no less than those of the Spanish navy, which undoubtedly discounted their victory.

"Order the fleet, all march, and be sure to catch up with the Spaniards!" ”

The Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy lost two battleships, and did not know how to explain to the Admiralty. After all, after the loss of two battleships, the British Navy had only ten battleships in active service. To make matters worse, there was only one battleship left of the Spanish Navy. In this case, once the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy arrived, the British Navy did not have an absolute superiority in the number of battleships. When the time comes, will the British Navy be able to defeat the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy and achieve victory? If not, the British Navy will probably have to hand over the Mediterranean to China. This will undoubtedly make this war very uncertain.

In order to gain an advantage in the next battle with the Chinese navy, the British Mediterranean Fleet had to find a way to eliminate the Spanish navy. For this reason, the Mediterranean Fleet had to struggle to catch up with the Spanish Navy.

Dozens of warships on both sides rushed wildly on the sea. Thick black smoke rose from the chimneys, forming dark clouds in the sky. In the west, the sun has sunk below the sea level, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the surface of the sea, which is very beautiful and spectacular. However, at this time, no one had the heart to enjoy these beauties, and neither the Spanish nor the British navy focused on their opponents.

The difference in degrees between the two sides was almost the same, and among the warships of the Spanish Navy, the old 'Xia-class' cruisers, which had a maximum range of only 14 knots, were now sailing at 12 knots. In the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy, the 'Pearl-class' cruisers were the same as the 'Summer-class' cruisers. This makes it almost impossible for the British Navy to want to shorten the distance.

"Your Excellency, the Spaniards are no slower than we are! If we continue like this, we may not be able to catch up with them. "On the battleship 'Agamemnon',.

, he also showed this problem. Also, it's getting dark. If you can't catch up with the Spanish navy by nightfall, it won't be so easy to wipe them out.

"Let all the 'Nelson-class' and 'Orlando-class' ships pursue the Spaniards with maximum sailing and hold them back!".

The British Navy's 'Nelson-class' and 'Orlando'-class battleships both had a maximum voyage of 16 knots, while the 'Ravage' and 'Ajax-class' battleships had a maximum voyage of only 14 knots. Therefore, the only way to do this was to let the 'Nelson-class' and 'Orlando-class' warships use their superiority to catch up with the Spanish Navy and intercept it. In this way, the Spanish Navy will be completely annihilated.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!". Although this method is very dangerous, the pursuing 'Nelson-class' and 'Orlando-class' battleships may have to withstand heavy fire from the battleships of the Spanish Navy. However, this was the only way to intercept the Spanish Navy.

, the formation of the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy has changed. Five 'Nelson-class' ships and seven 'Orlando-class' ships began to add, gradually breaking away from the queue and chasing after the Spanish navy.

This situation was also immediately learned by the Spanish Navy.

"General, the British are chasing us. Five 'Nelson-class' ships and seven 'Orlando-class' ships are catching up with us at more than 14 knots! A staff officer reported to Admiral San Miguel.

"Humph! Are these damn Brits trying to catch up with us? How is that possible! Order the fleet to be combat-ready. It's only an hour before it gets dark. After dark, these Brits won't be trying to catch up with us! Admiral San Miguel said. Once night fell and visibility was greatly reduced, the Spanish Navy was able to get rid of the British Navy under the cover of night.

At the same time, in the Mediterranean, a huge fleet was chopping the waves. The most important thing in the fleet is eight huge warships like a hill. This fleet was the 1st Fleet sent by the Imperial Navy to fight in Europe. Those eight huge battleships were the 'Qin-class' battleships and the 'Western Han-class' battleships in the 1st Fleet.

On the flagship battleship Han Gaozu, Vice Admiral Xu Hai, chief of staff of the fleet, handed a telegram to the commander of the fleet, Admiral Wei Yong.

"Commander, a telegram from the Admiralty that the Spaniards have asked us for help!" Lieutenant General Xu Hai said with a smile.

"Oh? Did the naval battle between the Spaniards and the British be decided? Admiral Wei Yong asked.

"Yes, the Spaniards lost one 'Qin-class' battleship, three 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleships and two 'Western Zhou-class' battleships. The rest of the fleet, on the run! Lieutenant General Xu Hai said.

"So much to lose? It seems that the strength of the British should not be underestimated! Admiral Wei Yong took the telegram and read it.

Soon, he raised his head and said: "The losses of the British were not small, two battleships, a 'Nelson-class' battleship and an 'Orlando-class' battleship. It seems that the performance of the British battleships is really not very good! ”

"Of course, how can the British battleships compare with us? Four battleships fought two, but the final battle loss was one to two! Lieutenant General Xu Hai also laughed.

"How long will it take for us to arrive?" Admiral Wei Yong asked. Since the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy has not yet escaped. Then, the 1st Fleet will find a way to annihilate them. In this case, the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy would not be at a disadvantage even if it faced the home fleet of the British Navy.

"Expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Of course, if the Spaniards had come closer to us, and the British had pursued them, we would have met sooner! Lieutenant General Xu Hai said.

"Telegraph to the Spaniards, let them bring the British closer to us, tell them that persistence is victory!" r1152
