Chapter 1022 The Destruction of the British Fleet

"Commander Liu and the others are still debating whether to develop aircraft carriers or battleships in the future. In my opinion, developing submarines is enough. This unexpected effect is really amazing. We have all become a make-up existence."

Wang Yuxi smiled.

Although several of their warships were firing continuously and achieved some results, they caused great damage to two semi-ironclad cruisers and sunk a frigate.

However, compared with the results achieved by submarines, they are not worth mentioning.

Moreover, while the submarine achieved such significant results, it itself remained unscathed.

Unlike their warships on the water, they had already been attacked by several shots. If the armor hadn't been powerful enough, they would have suffered heavy losses at this time.

These bombarded areas will also need repairs back to the port, which will cost a lot of money.

In comparison, submarines are too easy to use and save money.

"This is mainly because the enemy does not understand it. If we are prepared next time, it may not be so easy."

the adjutant said.

"Be prepared, how to be prepared? Let alone the British army, even if we encounter these submarines, we have only one way to escape, and there is no better way to deal with them.

Moreover, there is no next time. This time, the European countries must be beaten down so that they can never stand up. Perhaps, this is our last decent naval battle. It is so lonely as snow. "

Wang Yuxi smiled. It was a good thing that Tang Ruide didn't hear what he said, otherwise Tang Ruide would be so angry that he would die.

"The enemy seems to be retreating."

the adjutant reminded.

"Let the Yangzhou and the frigate chase, and we'll stay just in case."

Wang Yuxi ordered.

Although these transport ships have good defense, if desperate British troops come to kill them all, they may also cause some damage to the Chinese army.

Moreover, for the Chinese army, it was almost enough to sink the few battleships of the British army.

The remaining semi-ironclad fleets are of no use at all.

Just like the French fleet, Dahua never thought of going to all the trouble to deal with it.

Anyway, with that kind of fleet, it may not be an opponent against Dahua's transport ships, and it cannot threaten the Chinese army.

The three submarines were still hunting the enemy. Before Tang Ruide had time to transfer to the Colossus, the Colossus and another battleship were also hit by torpedoes.

At this point, all five of Great Britain's ironclad battleships were sunk, and some cruisers and frigates were also lost. It was extremely miserable.

"Unfortunately, there are no torpedoes left."

In the Phantom submarine, the adjutant said regretfully.

Their submarines can only carry up to eight torpedoes at a time.

People from the Naval Development Department did not expect that submarines could play such a big role, so these submarines were not large and were classified as small submarines.

Unlike later generations of submarines, carrying dozens or hundreds of torpedoes is as easy as playing.

"Come up."

The captain said that without torpedoes, they would have no means of attack, and there would be no need to even dive underwater.

Floating to the surface of the water can also give soldiers a breath of air and enjoy the joy of victory.

The other two submarines soon used up their last torpedoes and hit a British warship respectively.

Even though the British army already knew that the attack was coming from the bottom of the sea, they had not yet learned how to avoid it.

Unless the Chinese army made a mistake and failed to calculate well, it would basically be a hit.

With twenty-four torpedoes, they killed nineteen British warships.

The total cost of twenty-four torpedoes is less expensive than a battleship.

Including the four ships destroyed by artillery, the British army lost a total of twenty-three battleships, accounting for 70% of the total and 90% of the overall strength.

After this battle, the British fleet was completely destroyed, and its naval strength fell behind France and even Tsarist Russia.

The Chinese army chased for a while, and then stopped the pursuit after each destroyed an enemy ship. There was no need.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield. Some enemy ships on the sea are still sinking, and some enemy ships can be saved and can be towed back to the port for repairs or sold for scrap metal.

Some British troops were in lifeboats, and many more were splashing in the water.

These were all prisoners of the Chinese army. In the spirit of humanitarianism, the Chinese army rescued them all.

Among them, Tang Ruide, who escaped before he could, was also included.

After all, he was also a naval commander, and Tang Ruide was sent to the Suzhou.

"Who gave you the courage to take the initiative to attack? You don't really think that the EU can compete with our country, right?"

Wang Yuxi mocked.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

As a defeated general, Tang Ruide felt extremely embarrassed at this time.

He had never been so humiliated before, and he wanted to make a few excuses, but when he thought of his tragic defeat, he had nothing to say and could only look dejected.

No matter what means the Chinese army uses, if they win, they win.

Seeing this, Wang Yuxi was no longer interested in irritating the little old man, and continued driving to London as planned.

Dahua’s plan is to conquer them one by one, first to conquer Great Britain, and then to conquer France, Spain and other countries.

This has the advantage of dividing the EU.

Now that China is looking at Great Britain to beat it, will other countries save it or not?

If you want to save him, he is not strong enough. If you try to join him, you will die, which is of little significance. You will also get yourself involved.

If we don't save it, the so-called European Union will exist in name only and then split.

This probability is extremely high. Dahua's decision-makers estimate that with Poland's stubbornness, it is absolutely impossible to send troops to help at this time. Tsarist Russia may also watch the fire from across the shore. Anyway, they are the farthest from the sea and theoretically the safest.

Spain may want to maintain the alliance, but is powerless.

As for France, France has actually used the relationship of Organa's father, Earl Adrian, to contact Dahua secretly to discuss peace talks.

Organa got along well with Wu Changqing, and the top management in France were all dreaming that Wu Changqing would spare France for the sake of Organa.

As for Holy Rome, due to the defeat in the war, all classes were quite dissatisfied with the royal family.

In their opinion, if the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up. If Dahua wants to attack Western Europe, it must first teach Britain, France and Spain a lesson. They are Holy Rome. There is really no need to join the EU so early and cause a lot of trouble...

In short, this alliance is used to keep each other warm. When they discovered that they could not stay warm even if they stayed together, the alliance lost its meaning.

The next step is to find a way to protect yourself.

Surrender became their best choice.

If Dahua does not surrender, although Dahua will not be able to completely annex it for the time being, it can break their country into pieces.

Just like how to deal with Great Britain, occupy London and make Great Britain lose face.
