    Deng Shichang, Commander of the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet, stood on the side of the battleship "China" and stared at the calmed sea.  The thrilling naval battle has ended. From now on, the Chinese navy will be the only one in the entire Far East Pacific region.  Of course, the prerequisite is that China must be able to withstand the anger of the British, and the Chinese navy must be able to withstand the British navy's revenge.

    "What the hell! The soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth!" Deng Shichang said secretly.  You don't need to think about it to know that after the Far East Fleet is wiped out, the British Navy will definitely take revenge.  That was the most difficult time for the Chinese Navy.  Similarly, as long as it can survive, what awaits the Chinese navy will soar into the sky.

    The smell of gunpowder smoke still lingers in the air.  Chinese naval warships on the sea are rescuing British naval soldiers.  Of course, if these British people would rather die than surrender like the Japanese, the Chinese navy would not embarrass them.  However, these British guys' desire for survival is obviously not comparable to that of the Japanese.  For them, the naval battle was over.  Although the British Far East Fleet failed, they did their best.  Next, they still have their own lives to live, and they will not give up their lives like the Japanese.

    Deng Shichang was deeply touched as he stroked the railings of the battleship Zhonghua.  He is very satisfied with this new battleship.  After two fierce naval battles in succession, the four 'China-class' battleships all suffered more or less minor injuries.  In particular, the rear main gun of the "Shenzhou" was destroyed.  However, in these two naval battles.  The 'China-class' battleship has proven its power and is worthy of being an epoch-making battleship.  In the battle with old-fashioned battleships, the powerful firepower and thick armor of the 'China-class' battleships gave the Chinese Navy a great advantage.  Soon, the four newest 'Qin-class' battleships will be put into service. The 'Qin-class' battleships are more powerful than the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships. This is why Deng Shichang is not afraid of the power of the British navy and dares to attack the British at this time.  The reason why the navy ate it.  If.  The strength of the 'Chinese-class' battleships compared with the old battleships is one to two, while the 'Qin-class' battleships are probably one to two and a half, or even one to three.  The Chinese Navy's home fleet with eight new battleships is enough to withstand the attack of twenty old British battleships.  Coupled with the powerful 'Beijing' class heavy cruiser, Deng Shichang believes that the Chinese Navy also has a very good chance of winning.

    "Commander, the battle report is out!" Brigadier General Hai Zhengsheng, the captain of the "Zhonghua", came to Deng Shichang's side.  Handed him a thin piece of paper.  This piece of paper records the losses and results achieved by the Chinese navy in this naval battle.

    Deng Shichang took it and started reading immediately.  In this naval battle, the heavy cruiser "Tianjin" was severely damaged, and the light cruiser "Wuwei" was severely damaged.  Two destroyers were sunk in the battle, and almost all other warships were slightly damaged.  In terms of personnel, the Chinese Navy¡¯s Home Fleet suffered 325 casualties and 1,306 injuries.  Among them, 253 people were seriously injured.  this loss.  It's also relatively big.  However, compared with the results obtained, it is somewhat insignificant.  After a day of fierce fighting, the British Navy's Far East Fleet was almost completely wiped out.  Except for a few cruisers and destroyers that escaped, most of the remaining battleships were sunk.  Among the six battleships, the "Lamiyi" was captured, and the remaining "Empress of India", "Hood", "Repulse", "Resolution" and "Royal Oak" were sunk.  Among the five armored cruisers, the "Aurora" was captured, and the remaining "Nelson", "Northampton", "Insolent" and "Warspite" were sunk.  Of the dozen or so cruisers, three were captured and all but the ones that escaped were sunk.  Of the dozen destroyers, two were captured and the rest were sunk.  The results achieved in this naval battle were even greater than yesterday's victory over the Japanese navy's fleet returning home!

    "Order all ships to return to the Beihai Shipyard as quickly as possible! At the same time, send a good news to His Majesty and the Ministry of Navy. In addition, let the Beihai Shipyard prepare the slipway. All warships must enter the slipway for repairs!" Deng Shichang ordered.  A warship with minor damage may have to stay on the slipway for more than half a month or even longer.  The heavily damaged heavy cruiser Tianjin may have to stay for two or three months.  In addition, after the fierce battle, almost all the main guns need to be replaced, which is also an urgent task.  This will allow the Chinese Navy's home fleet to temporarily only have squadrons able to operate.  The main force must complete repairs before the British Navy's revenge arrives, and be in the best condition to meet the British Navy's revenge.

    "Commander, Lieutenant General Philmantle, the commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, is here!" a staff officer reported.

    Deng Shichang nodded, put away the battle report, and headed to the bridge.

    Philemantle inHe will be an old man in his fifties. At this moment, he no longer has the calmness and elegance of the British general, and looks a little embarrassed.  He also looked a little tired. The destruction of the British Navy's Far East Fleet had hit him hard.

    After Deng Shichang walked into the bridge, Lieutenant General Philemantle immediately recognized Deng Shichang. The old man immediately shouted angrily: "You damn yellow-skinned monkeys, you barbarians. My soldiers have surrendered.  But you still killed them! You devils, executioners, the British Empire will not let you go!" Lieutenant General Philemantle was talking about the lifeboats on which hundreds of British soldiers on board the 'Repulse' were taken.  It sunk most of the thing.

    "You asked for this! You have clearly raised the white flag, opened the sea valve, and sunk the battleship to the bottom of the sea. Since you have surrendered, the battleship belongs to the property of our Chinese Navy! This kind of destruction of the property of the Chinese Navy  His behavior deserves death!" Deng Shichang replied coldly.  Although, he doesn't like these old battleships.  However, after modification, the combat power can also be improved a lot.  If the local fleet is no longer needed, it can be added to the Pacific Fleet or sold directly.  Therefore, the British soldiers on the "Repulse" scuttled the warship, which made everyone in the Chinese Navy very angry.  Some radical generals even bluntly said that since they wanted to sink themselves so much, let them sink themselves too.  Only then did a Chinese Navy destroyer ram and sink a British Navy soldier's lifeboat.

    "You are trampling on human rights. This is despicable and illegal! I will sue you to the British Imperial Court!" Lieutenant General Philemantle roared, like an angry rooster.  Same.

    "Please do it! However, your British military court is not qualified to try me yet! As for the revenge of your British navy, I will wait. Let's see who can win by then!" Deng Shichang said disdainfully.

    "Arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys, you will regret it one day!" Lieutenant General Philmantle scolded angrily.

    "Come here, take him away. If his mouth is not clean, starve him for two days. We don't have enough food and fresh water anyway!" Deng Shichang said with a frown.  Several wolf-like Chinese navy soldiers immediately pulled Lieutenant General Philmantle down.

    "No! You can't do this! I am a Vice Admiral, and you must give me corresponding treatment!" Lieutenant General Philmantle shouted in horror.  However, no one paid attention to him.  The Chinese navy soldiers dragged him down like a dead dog.  The next few days were more than he could bear.  Although Vice Admiral Philemantle is an important general of the British Navy, the Chinese Navy will not kill him.  However, there is absolutely no problem in giving him some hardships.  Who told him that he was still so arrogant and arrogant despite being defeated?

    Soon, the Chinese Navy¡¯s home fleet rushed to Beihai Port.  At the same time, a series of telegrams were sent out.  And this will undoubtedly once again cause shock to the world.  When Deng Shichang ordered the attack on the British Far East Fleet, he did not report it to the Admiralty. Although this was somewhat illegal, China has always said that it will not accept the orders of foreign emperors.  The General Staff Headquarters and the Navy Department in Beijing are obviously unable to make instructions based on the actual situation.  In this case, we can only talk about it when it gets bigger first.

    It¡¯s 4:30 pm on March 13. There is nothing going on at the Navy Department today, so Zhang Cheng plans to get off work early.  Because the Japanese fleet disappeared, he had worked overtime at the Navy Department for a long time, and he was very tired.  Now that the home fleet has annihilated the Japanese fleet and is on its way back to the military port, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

    "Next, it's time to rest and recuperate the local fleet. In addition, there is the British Far East Fleet. This is the British's nail in the Far East. We have to find a way to remove it!" Zhang Cheng murmured.  His adjutant had already gone to drive.

    At this time, the director of the telegraph office arrived sweating profusely.  "Sir, the mainland fleet has sent an important battle report!" the director of the telegraph office said with excitement.  After the signal soldier in the telegraph room translated the message, he was petrified on the spot.  But then I was ecstatic. The Home Fleet annihilated the British Far East Fleet. This was a greater victory than the annihilation of the Japanese Navy!  The Japanese navy is only a second-rate navy at best, while the British navy is a world-class navy.  Although the Home Fleet annihilated only one fleet of the British Navy, this was a loss that the British Navy had never suffered in a century.

    "What happened?" Zhang Cheng asked with a frown.  Could it be that another accident could happen?

    "My lord, the Home Fleet has completely wiped out the British Far East Fleet!" replied the director of the telegraph office.
