William. The reason why Baga wants to fight is because he feels that he still has a chance to win!

First of all, he didn't know about the existence of the "Great Zhou" level.

Now in wartime, neither side will officially announce the killer weapon in their hands, not only will they not make an official announcement, but they will have to hide it, and they will have to release a lot of confusing fake news. For example, a while ago, the Ming Dynasty announced that it would start construction of the so-called "Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty" class battleships with a standard row of 50,000 tons and a full row of 60,000 tons, equipped with 8 400 mm caliber cannons, a main engine power of 150,000 horses, and a speed of 30 knots......

The British boasted that they would build a standard row of 42,000 tons, a full row of 48,000 tons, equipped with 8 15-inch cannons, a main engine power of 150,000 horses, and a speed of up to 32 knots.

The on both sides is blowing big, but the real guys are well hidden. The "First Emperor" level of the Ming Dynasty and the "Emperor of India" level of Great Britain only occasionally showed up before today. As for the "Great Zhou" and "William IV" classes, they are simply top-secret projects!

Secondly, William. Baga knew he couldn't escape back to Australia safely with most of his capital ships...... Because he has already seen the speed of the "First Emperor"-class! Battleships of this class can run at least 27 or 28 knots!

And they also have 8 330 mm first-class guns, which are as lethal as they are fast!

In addition, the lethality of the Ming Dynasty's "big light cruisers" and carrier-based aircraft should not be underestimated. And the speed of the "big light cruiser" can also reach 27 or 28 knots, and there is no speed limit for carrier-based aircraft!

So, William. If Baga were to give the order to flee now, his large fleet would be relentlessly pursued by the enemy, and thank God that half of his forces would eventually escape back to Australia.

At 6:15 p.m., when dusk had arrived and the ocean near the area of engagement was shrouded in a golden sunset, the chimneys of 24 British battleships, including "William IV" and "Queen Elizabeth", began to spew smoke, and all the battleships turned on the strong pressure ventilation mode!

Twenty-four battleships, under the guidance of the "William IV" and the "Queen Elizabeth", formed a column on the sea, like a long steel dragon, and rushed towards the six "Qin Shi Huang" classes that were shelling several "Indian emperors" class.

On the other side, the main force of the second battleship detachment of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Navy, including two "Da Zhou" class, two "Zhongwang" class, six hero-class or hero-chang, and six Hanwu Emperor class, including 16 battleships, also rushed to the battlefield at full speed. However, unlike the British formation, they did not maintain a long snake formation, but were divided into three detachments, including two "Great Zhou" and two "Zhongwang" teams, six heroes or heroes changed into a team, and six Han Wu Emperor a team.

The reason why they had to march in three teams was because the sixteen battleships of the Ming army were a little far away from the battlefield, and the speed difference between them was relatively large, and the "Great Zhou" and "Zhongwang" could drive more than 25 knots, which were all high-speed ships. And the hero or hero has a speed of 22-23 knots, which is not slow. But the level of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not good, and the 20 knots are barely strong.

If these 16 battleships also maintained a consistent speed, they would only be able to move at a speed of 20 knots...... Now that the front line has become a mess, 100,000 people are in a hurry, whoever has reinforcements first will have a greater chance of winning! ….......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The first to arrive at the battlefield was William. British battleship formations led by Baga! The two ships, the King William IV and the Queen Elizabeth, led 24 battleships into battle. At a distance of 28,000 yards from the First Emperor, the King William IV and the Queen Elizabeth fired the first volley.

Although the 20-door 14 inches of these two battleships were almost not accurate at this distance, they could still scare the "First Emperor" them...... If they don't scare them, they will kill the "Emperor of India", "Emperor of Rome", "Charlemagne", "King of Hanover" and "King of England"!

It turned out that after the "King of Scotland" was blown up with one shot, the ship of the "First Emperor" certainly had to take over the ship. They quickly aimed all 48 330-mm guns at the "King of England", who was already trembling with fear.

At this time, the "Emperor of India" and the "King of Hanover", who had been able to shoot a few shots at the "Emperor Taiwu of the Tang Dynasty" from afar, had been thrown away.

The only ones who can fight against a group of "First Emperor" level are the "King of England", "Roman Emperor", and "Charlemagne...... Three against six, the advantage is already obvious.

Although the British also made some hits, and had already set the "First Emperor" on fire, it was only a fire caused by hitting the lifeboat and the cabin under the aft deck, which was nothing more than a skin wound for a 25,000-ton battleship.

And the 6 "First Emperor" class 330 mm shells fought round after round, the "King of England" was like falling into a sea of fire, 330 mm armor-piercing shells kept exploding on the hull of this standard row of 25,000 tons of battleship, fire and smoke began to spread on the deck, the damage management team desperately suppressed with a water hose, but everyone still felt that it was a drop in the bucket.

And this is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that just now a few carrier-based planes of the Indian emperor class that were so good to blow up are now flying back and throwing bombs and torpedoes.

But the British could not send a few "pigeon planes" to cover their battleships - although there were still two British aircraft-carrying armored cruisers on the battlefield, most of the carrier-based pilots had already gone to God...... Unless God releases people, there is no play.

The "King of England," who was beaten to death, became the key target of a group of Ming fighters, and bombs and torpedoes greeted them one after another.

Therefore, the urgent telegram of the "King of England" was sent to the "William IV" like snowflakes, and the correspondent kept sending the message to William. Baga reported: "Admiral, the A turret of the King of England is finished, all the personnel are killed, and the damage team has to flood the ammunition depot!" ”

"Admiral, the waterline armor of the King of England has been torpedoed through, and a large amount of sea water has poured in!"

"Admiral, the top of the C turret of the King of England was pierced by a bomb, causing a fire!"

"Admiral, the stern of the King of England was torpedoed...... The rudder was blown up and could not be steered! ”

"Admiral, the bow of the King of England was pierced by shells, a large amount of water entered, and the bow sank ......"

William. While listening to the reports of the people below, Baga held a telescope to watch, and had a general understanding of the situation, of course, he was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, but he just urged loudly: "Hurry! Hurry up a little more, the British Empire needs us to speed up! ”

"Admiral!" Rear Admiral Jervis, the chief of staff of the fleet, suddenly shouted, "The lookout post found 4 large battleships of the Ming Dynasty, two of which are of the Zhongwang class, and two of them have not been seen, but they are at least 30,000 tons in size!" ”

"What? 30,000 tons, wouldn't that be ...... "William. Baga only felt that the Venus in front of him was rising, 30,000 tons, which was the level of "King William IV".

Considering the level of shipbuilding of the Ming Dynasty, these two battleships must be very powerful!

If they are not destroyed, today's battle may be the sunset of the empire!

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the setting sun, and soon found four large battleships of the Ming army that were rushing towards him!

Fortunately, there are only four of them...... There is hope.

William. Baga raised his hand and pointed at the four battleships: "That's our goal...... Now don't care about the Indian Emperor class, we must sink all four battleships at all costs, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
