338 Thousand-mile pursuit

The 1,000 gunboats in the European ship group could not withstand the strong assault of the gunboats of the Chinese fleet, and were smashed to pieces without any suspense. [Full text reading]

The flagship of the Ledler, did not continue to retreat. The main force of the European fleet, the gunboat fleet, has been wiped out, and its retreat has no point. Although there are still tens of thousands of old European warships, they are not the main force, and they have little combat effectiveness in front of the Chinese gunboats.

The flagship of the Ledler chose to fight, and in the cannon fire with the three six-masted frigates and more than a dozen five-masted gunboats next to the flagship of the Chinese Sea Soul, it was hit through by thousands of shells, made a hornet's nest, and slowly sank. Coach Leedler, the Dutch deputy coach and a group of European generals were killed, and they fled without face.

The remaining European groups witnessed the sinking of the most powerful flagship, the Leedler, and almost instantaneously, they began to make frantic turns and flee for their lives.

The Asian ship group pressed in full force.

The European ship group collapsed like a huge piece of rotten wood.

The Dutch, British, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese fleets of Western Europe, as well as the South African fleet, some mercenary fleets, some pirate fleets, some merchant escort fleets, and a few regular fleets, came from dozens of completely different powers, and they came together for a common goal - to drive out the Chinese merchants, to drive out the Asian merchants, and to preserve their position in South Africa.

When the battle situation is irretrievable, staying will definitely die, and the goal cannot be completed, their first thought is to escape, as long as they run faster than others, they can survive and retain some strength. There are no heroes here, and no one will die for the sake of others.

The French were the fastest, and they showed nonchalance from the start of the war.

South Africa is not the territory of French players, but of British and Dutch players. The French colonies were in Arria, Morocco, Mauritania and other places, and only occasionally came to South Africa to do business. They never considered South Africa their own turf.

This battle is best won, but if it is lost. The losses were not great, and when the war was a little bad, they had already begun to quietly fall behind the ship.

When the Lederer sank. These Frenchmen barely blinked an eye. Yelling and screaming. Call friends and turn around and run. Even when you run away. Still with that carelessness. Feel free.

"Hi. Hello bro. The sun is so big today. I have long said that this weather is not suitable for war. Ledler, that big fool. He also thought he was a savior. Actually picked this one sun viciously day to start a war! ”

"yes. This ghost weather. There is not even a place to hide from the sun. If only there was a little more cool breeze. Maybe we've won this battle. ”

Many French people are even secretly gloating in their hearts. The British and Dutch after this defeat. It's going to be bad luck. Lost the big land of South Africa. Not sure where they will go for resources and markets. In a word. The French will never lend them land.

The Germans ran the most seriously. They are pirate soldiers or mercenaries. They are all very gentlemanly and rigorous.

They ran aside. While talking to each other about how to preserve their strength.

"Well, where do you think we should flee? What about South Africa's neighbor, Namibia? ”

"Oh, no, that's absolutely not going to work. Namibia simply did not have much fleet, and the Chinese occupied South Africa. We will definitely chase it to Namibia, where we will wait for death. ”

"Senegal, 6,000 miles away, is it okay? There are also numerous European fleets there, and the Chinese will not chase them down in one go! ”

"Well, I think we should calculate the supplies we carry first."

"I've done the math, it's enough to get us to Senegal."

"Since the supplies are sufficient, then we will go directly to Senegal. Hey, those damn French guys always like to be cool, they get away faster than we do. We should be carrying less supplies than we are. In this desperate run, they will most likely forget to calculate their supplies, and we will call them too, and maybe we will be able to find an opportunity to trap them for a while on the way. ”

"Haha, that's a good idea."

The French and German fleets took the lead and fled to the front.

Spanish and Portuguese players joined hands and also studied the art of escape. The first key to running away is to always run faster than others. As long as there are others at the bottom, you don't have to worry about finishing

The ones they took to the bottom were naturally the fleets of the British, the Dutch, and the South Africans. Spanish and Portuguese players have fewer fleets. It accounts for about 5% and 0% of the total area. Easily swam through the huge group of ships, and thrust to the left. Suddenly, he was stuck in front of the British and Dutch fleets, and rubbed to the front.

In the end, there is undoubtedly the British and Dutch player ships.

The Ledler was brave and fearless, and when it sank in a heroic manner, their blood was almost boiled with stimulation, and they rushed forward. When they were now greasing oil on the soles of the warships of France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, and felt that the overall situation was irretrievable, they were already one step too late.

There were also a few British and Dutch warships that made a final comeback, but only splashed in front of the Asian ship group and sank forever.

Tens of thousands of European warships, like the herds of bison on the African savannah, were chased by the African lions, rushing to escape for their lives on the sea.

In this battle, the British and Dutch warships suffered the heaviest losses. Not only was the main gunboat fleet completely annihilated, but even when it fled, it was at the rear, and once it was caught up, it was swept away and crushed by the Asian ship group. A few hours later, the hundreds of miles of sea at Cape Agulhas in South Africa gradually calmed down, leaving only the wreckage of seven or eight thousand warships left after the battle between the two Eurasian ships.

From Cape Agulhas, along the Atlantic coastline of western South Africa, to the Cape of Good Hope, it was a tragic sight all the way.

The battlefield shifted from Cape Agulhas to the Cape of Good Hope.

Half an hour later, we moved from the Cape of Good Hope to Cape Town, an important city in South Africa.

Thousands of shore-based bronze forts have been built off the coastline of Cape Town.

These batteries worked well, not only to keep the port, but also to save thousands of old ships from the British, Dutch, and South African wars that had taken refuge in time from the port. It's a pity that these batteries can't be moved. Nor can it pose any threat to Asian ship groups far from the coast. As soon as the gunboats blockaded the port of Cape Town, they were all sealed inside, and as soon as they left the port of Cape Town, they were sent to death.

The rest of the French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese European warships were unwilling to stay in Cape Town and wait for their deaths, and continued to flee triumphantly along the coastline of western Africa.

Under the fierce pursuit of the Asian ship group, the remnants of the European ship group fled to Namibia in panic. A day later, he fled to Angola, then to Gabon, Nigeria and other countries. However, players in these African countries do not welcome their docking. They already knew the news of the defeat of the European fleet. The Asian fleet will soon take control of the waters in this area, so African players don't take these European remnants seriously at all.

The European fleet was defeated until Senegal, another important city, before finally stopping the retreat.

The Great Escape of Victory is over.

After this battle, only more than 7,000 warships remained in the European ship group. Of these, 4,000 fled back to Senegal, and 3,000 remained in Cape Town, South Africa. A total of 9,000 warships were sunk, captured, and missing.

When the European fleet fled back to the Kingdom of Senegal, five or six thousand miles away, the Chinese fleet stopped pursuit.

Senegal is already relatively close to Europe, only 2,000 kilometers from Morocco and about 2,500 kilometers from Spain. Here the strength of the European fleet. Much stronger than South Africa.

Moreover, fleets from all over Europe can send troops at any time to support the European fleet deployed in Senegal.

For various considerations, the Sea Soul ordered the pursuit to be stopped.

There are now two competitors for European players: one is the Middle Eastern military bloc led by Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. One is the Asian military bloc with China as its head.

European players are now fighting on both fronts in the Middle East and Africa, against the Middle East Group and the China Group respectively. They competed with the Middle East bloc for control of the Mediterranean and Palestine on the one hand, and the Chinese bloc on the other hand for control of the African Big 6, and the naval power was divided into two halves.

Sea Soul does not want to push the European military bloc too quickly on the African Big 6.

If the pressure is too tight, European players will be forced to transfer the main forces deployed in the Mediterranean to Africa Big 6 to start a war with China. In that case, the pressure on Middle Eastern countries will be greatly reduced, and the pressure on China will be greatly increased. This is to carry the burden of Middle Eastern players on themselves. Thankless work.

The Chinese fleet attacked South Africa, and it was only the interests of British and Dutch players that suffered heavy losses. It did not hurt the interests of French, German and Russian players.

Senegal is the last red line for European countries, and it concerns the security and interests of the vast majority of European power players. If the Chinese fleet enters Senegal, it will definitely force European players to jump over the wall and unite to fight back.

The Eurasian naval battle ended here. The long African coast between the Kingdom of Senegal and the Kingdom of South Africa became a buffer zone between the Chinese bloc and the European bloc. The Asian military bloc, with China as the territory, has brought about two-thirds of the African coastline, including South Africa, under its control.

At the same time, China's Indian Ocean Naval Command announced that all Chinese allied players, friendly players, and neutral country players. Allowing commercial activities in these African ports, controlled by the Asian Fleet, and the player merchants of the two hostile countries, "Britain and the Netherlands", were excluded from the territory and immediately confiscated and expelled from the country.

As soon as the news was announced, it was immediately welcomed by China's allies, friendly countries, neutral countries, and even players from Germany, France, Spain, Portugal and other European countries. As for the anger of the British and Dutch players, no one paid attention to it at all.

Sea Soul's light hand directly tore apart the original position of European countries trying to unite against China. The counterattack of the British and Dutch players was also neutralized. There is no support from the rest of Europe. They are simply not capable of countering China's military power alone.
