    "Boom!" A shell exploded more than 20 meters away on the right side of the Pegasus. A ten-meter-high water column rose from the sea, and the water spray fell on the deck of the Pegasus.  Drenching the decks of the Pegasus.

    "Damn it! Those yellow-skinned monkeys actually opened fire on us! Fight back, fight back immediately!" Major George, the captain of the Pegasus, ordered loudly.  The behavior of the Chinese warship was the most direct act of war, which made Major George very angry.  The British Navy is the world's maritime hegemon. By doing this, the Chinese Navy is completely touching the tiger's butt.

    "Major George, the Chinese must regard us as Japanese. We should explain to them to avoid triggering a war between the two countries!" Lieutenant Colonel David made a suggestion.  After watching the naval battle between the Chinese Navy and the Japanese Navy yesterday, he was deeply shocked.  The Chinese Navy did not suffer much losses after annihilating the Japanese Navy. The British Navy's Far East Fleet is no match for the Chinese Navy at all. If a war really breaks out, they will still suffer.

    "No, Lieutenant Colonel, this is already an act of war. As an officer of the British Royal Navy and the captain of the Pegasus, I have the responsibility and obligation to safeguard the dignity of the Royal Navy! Fire immediately!" Major George said sternly  said.

    The soldiers on the Pegasus faithfully carried out Major George's order. The guns on the battleship immediately adjusted their direction, pointed at the Chinese Navy's light cruiser Wuwei, and opened fire immediately.

    When Lieutenant Colonel David saw that the situation was unavoidable, he had no choice but to immediately send a telegram to Lieutenant General Philemantle, commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, asking him to prepare in advance.  So as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.

    "Pegasus" is a third-class protected cruiser of the British Royal Navy and the second ship of the "Compass" class. It was only built in 1897.  The 'Pegasus' has a displacement of 2,135 tons and a horsepower of 7,000 horsepower, but its speed is only 20 knots, which is much slower than the 'Wuwei'.  However, the firepower of the 'Pegasus' is very powerful, with 8 4-inch guns and 3 3-pound guns.  However, compared with the "Wuwei", not only the displacement is half smaller, but the firepower is also inferior to the "Wuwei"'s two twin 155mm naval guns and six 105mm single-mounted guns.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Because the distance between the two sides was very close, the British Navy's bombardment level was very superb. In just a few minutes, the "Wuwei" suffered a lot of shells.  Fortunately, compared with the 'Pegasus', the 'Wuwei' can be considered thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Without damaging any vital parts, its combat power was not affected.

    "Damn it, how can these Japanese shoot so accurately! Everyone, cheer up. It would be a big shame if we were defeated by such a little guy!" In the bridge of the 'Wuwei',  Lieutenant Colonel Gao Hui cursed bitterly.

    "Boom!" The two twin-mounted 155mm naval guns on the 'Wuwei' fired a salvo again.  The 105mm single-mounted gun and 88mm rapid-fire gun on the port side also opened fire.

    A 155mm shell hit the front deck of the Pegasus, leaving a large hole in the front deck and killing more than a dozen sailors on the deck.  Although the 105mm single-mounted cannon and 88mm rapid-fire cannon are not as powerful as the 155mm naval gun, they have a faster rate of fire and are not less powerful.  The shells continuously hit the Pegasus, sending sawdust flying everywhere. The entire superstructure of the Pegasus was riddled with holes, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

    "Damn it! Major George, we have to get out of the battlefield, otherwise, we will be sunk!" Lieutenant Colonel David reminded.  He doesn't want to die on the Pacific Ocean. There is a wife and children waiting for him in his hometown of Manchester!

    "Come here, send a telegram to the fleet and report our position. Let them send warships to rescue us as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be sunk! Turn left 30 degrees and speed up!" Major George was not impulsive.  Knowing the strength gap between the 'Pegasus' and the Chinese Navy's 'Wuwei', they immediately wanted to leave the battlefield.

    " However, the 'Wuwei' will not give him a chance at all.  As soon as the 'Pegasus' accelerated, the 'Wuwei' immediately began to accelerate and quickly caught up, hitting the 'Pegasus' with a flurry of bombardments.

    Less than 20 kilometers away from the sea area where the "Wuwei" and the "Pegasus" were fighting, a huge fleet was sailing westward at a speed of 10 knots.  It's just that it's too far away to see because of the thick fog.  This fleet is the Far East Fleet of the British Navy, a huge fleet composed of 6 battleships, 5 armored cruisers, 10 cruisers and 15 destroyers.

    Lieutenant General Philemantle, commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, was drinking coffee and looking at the heavy fog outside in a daze, not knowing what to think about.  YesterdayThe naval battle between China and Japan touched him deeply.  Although he did not see it with his own eyes, through Lieutenant Colonel David's telegram, he still had a profound understanding of the power of the Chinese Navy.  Although the Far East Fleet he led was very powerful, if compared with the Chinese naval fleet that destroyed the Japanese fleet, it might still be a little inferior.

    Lieutenant General Philmantle was originally a white supremacist racist.  Although East Asia is dominated by the yellow race, he has always believed that the huge population and rich resources here should become a colony of the British.  If the whole of China could be occupied, it would definitely become a colony beyond India.  However, unfortunately, China has risen and has also caused a huge conflict with British interests in the Far East, which made Lieutenant General Philemantle very angry.  If it weren't for the strict order from the Admiralty, he would have wanted to lead the British Far East Fleet to attack the Chinese Navy yesterday.

    "Your Majesty, Lieutenant General, there is an urgent call from the Pegasus. They are being fiercely attacked by the Chinese navy and are about to be sunk!" A staff officer on duty ran into Feiliman, sweating profusely.  Lieutenant General Ter's cabin.

    "Dang!" Upon hearing the news, the coffee cup in Lieutenant General Philmantle's hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces.  The spilled coffee made his white pants full of stains, but at this moment Lieutenant General Philmantle could no longer care so much.

    "Damn it, are these yellow-skinned monkeys too arrogant? They dare to attack the British Royal Navy warships. They simply don't want to live! Order the fleet to turn around immediately. We are going to let these yellow-skinned monkeys know how powerful the British Royal Navy is.  !" Lieutenant General Philmantle immediately shouted.  There is no doubt that the attack on the Pegasus gave him a legitimate opportunity to disobey the orders of the British Admiralty.  You can't let the British navy not fight back even after being beaten, right?  The British Navy is the most powerful navy in the world!  How can you tolerate this happening?  Lieutenant General Philmantle almost cheered.

    "But, Lieutenant General, this conflicts with the order of the Navy Department!" the staff officer said hesitantly.

    "Listen, now we are being attacked by the Chinese again. We are not provoking them on our own initiative. The soldiers of the British Royal Navy need to maintain the dignity of the Royal Navy!" Lieutenant General Philmantle said seriously.

    "Yes, Lieutenant General!" the staff officer had to reply.

    Soon, the British Navy¡¯s Far East Fleet, like the ¡®Pegasus¡¯ and the ¡®Wuwei¡¯, fought in the sea area.  Now, the sun is rising higher and higher, the fog is gradually dissipating, and the visibility is getting higher and higher.

    Behind the Wuwei, Deng Shichang also received the telegram.  However, after learning that it was a light cruiser of the Japanese fleet, I didn't pay too much attention.  With the combat power of the "Wuwei", there is no problem at all against a light cruiser.  However, he still has some doubts. There should be no warships in the Japanese fleet that slipped through the net yesterday!  Why do we still encounter one here?

    Half an hour later, the battle between the 'Wuwei' and the 'Pegasus' has come to an end.  Under the ravages of the powerful "Wuwei", the "Pegasus" has suffered heavy losses.  The mast of the Pegasus has been knocked off, and most of the guns on the battleship have been blown up. With just a few more heavy hits, the Pegasus can be sent to the bottom of the sea.

    "Brothers, work harder and send this Japanese fish that slipped through the net to the bottom of the sea!" Gao Hui shouted excitedly in the bridge of the "Wuwei".

    Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.  A water column tens of meters high rose up less than a hundred meters away from the "Wuwei", forming a large wave that shook the "Wuwei".

    "Damn it, large-caliber naval guns! How could the Japanese still have battleships?" Gao Hui was stunned.

    But then, when several warships flying the flag of St. George emerged from the heavy fog, and the thick and ferocious muzzles of the guns were pointed diagonally at the "Wuwei", Gao Hui felt a chill all over his body.

    "Damn it, this is going to be a big deal! This is not the Japanese fleet, but the British fleet. Turn around quickly, accelerate to 30 knots and escape. Also, send a telegram to the commander!" Gao Hui immediately ordered.  No matter how big the disaster is, you have to escape with your life first.  These British people are obviously unreasonable.  Just one large-caliber naval gun shell is enough to sink the "Wuwei".

    Like a wild horse, the ¡®Wuwei¡¯ drew an arc on the sea, quickly turned and escaped, and successfully avoided a large number of shells.

    After seeing the tragic scene of the "Pegasus", Lieutenant General Philemantle, commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, gritted his teeth and ordered the fleet to pursue it.

    On the battleship ¡®Zhonghua¡¯, after Deng Shichang received the telegram, he alsoDumbfounded.  However, then a determined look flashed in his eyes.  There will definitely be a war between China and Britain sooner or later. Let's just make mistakes now, eat the British Far East Fleet, and seize the initiative.
