Chapter 676 Victory (7)

"Why haven't you come yet? The battle on the Northern Fleet has already ended long ago. But let's just let the Northern Fleet eat it. Let's not say that the meat is not eaten, but I'm afraid I can't even drink it."

"Old Wang, why are you anxious? The drone has been monitoring it all the time. Now the Expeditionary Fleet is more than 30 kilometers away from us. It will take an hour to arrive. Besides, these more than 150 warships, I don't believe that the Northern Fleet can eat them all, so you can rest for a while."

Wang Hailong grabbed the teacup on his seat, poured it all in one breath, wiped his mouth and said, "Old Li, I'm just afraid that the Northern Fleet will take away all the big fish, so I will leave us a few small shrimps, which is not enough to even stuff the teeth."

At this time, the communication soldier Zhang Yang came over and said, "Commander, the preliminary results of the Northern Fleet have been counted."

Wang Hailong put down the teacup and said, "Remember."

Zhang Yang said: "Sink 8 battleships, 4 armored cruisers, 5 large protective cruisers; 3 prisoners, 1 armored cruiser, 1 large protective cruiser, and another destroyer, the casualties were unknown." He paused and said: "There is also instructions from Minister Shang to ask us not to let an enemy ship go as much as possible."

Wang Hailong was stunned and said, "Damn it, did you really catch all the big fish?"

Chief of Staff Li Ya signed the telegram document and said with a smile: "What does it mean to 'suck all the big fish'? The battle report made it clear. Sinking 8 battleships and capturing 3, only 11 of them are totally 24 battleships in the Expeditionary Fleet, and leaving 13 battleships for us. The Northern Fleet is very interesting. But they are indeed fighting well, so it depends on us next."

Wang Hailong nodded and said, "Of course, we can't lose to the Northern Fleet. By the way! Check, what warships are left in the Expeditionary Fleet now?"

Information officer Liu Chunliang said: "After checking, the French fleet was basically intact. The Russian fleet lost the battleship Glory, and the battleships Pantlemon and Retasrov; the Dutch fleet lost the battleship William I, the protective cruiser Curacao, the armored cruiser Utrecht, and the Republic had been stationed in Kaohsiung. Now the battleships Seven Provinces remained, the protective cruiser Netherlands, the protective cruiser Netherlands, Aruba, and St. Martin; the British fleet suffered the greatest losses, and now there are only the battleships Majesty, Hannibal, Exmouth, Russell, the armored cruiser Cresey, Monmouth; the protective cruiser Terror, Majesty, Crown, and a small number of destroyers. However, British warships are basically injured, and most of the warships are seriously injured."

Li Ya took the list of warships of the Expeditionary Fleet, and then said: "Lao Wang, although the 13 battleships are deserters, they are not delicious. We really may not be able to eat them. To be honest, our weapons are not enough unless we use **."

Although the Southern Fleet has 3 modern warships, there are indeed not many modern weapons that can be used. The Yueyang and Sanya ships can use each of them, each with 24 Haihongqi 16** and 6 Eagle Strike 83**; the Huaihua ship can use even fewer weapons, only 6 Eagle Strike 83** and 8 Seahongqi 7**. However, the Haihongqi 7** is a short-range air defense**. It is not only small in power, but also has a range of only 12 kilometers. Therefore, it can only attack destroyers at most, and must also get close to strike. Compared with the North Fleet's 100**, Eagle Strike 18**, and Seahongqi 9**, etc., the combat power is indeed much different.

Of course, the total of 3 warships is 36 rounds of Fish7**, and the number is considerable. However, Fish7** is a lightweight** in the old time and space, with a range of only 14 kilometers. Because pre-war regulations stipulated that modern warships must maintain a distance of more than 20 kilometers from the enemy, so they can only be launched by helicopters. However, this has brought a series of troublesome consequences. First of all, the load capacity of the helicopter is limited. The Sea Z 20 can carry 2 rounds of Fish7**, while the Sea Z 9 can only carry one round. The three warships can only carry 5 rounds at most. After being exhausted, they must return to the warship to re-mount. Moreover, in the old time and space, helicopters usually carry submarines. To launch a warship, the helicopter must fly at a low altitude and be launched within 10,000 meters of the target, which will also bring certain danger to the helicopter.

Wang Hailong waved his hand and said, "We don't have enough weapons, so go and ask the Kunming ship for support to see how much support the Kunming ship can provide us now? By the way, remember, you must send a telegram to Minister Shang."

Wang Hailong is not a desperate attempt to save face. He cannot force things he can't do, and it is not embarrassing to ask for support from the Kunming ship. After all, the Kunming ship is the strongest among the five crossing warships. The other four ships combined are not as powerful as the Kunming ship. Sending a telegram to Shang Jinfeng is not a telegram to Han Chao, the commander of the Northern Fleet. It also shows Wang Hailong's cunningness. He must be divided into whom he loses face, because he and Han Chao are of the same level, so he can ask for support from Han Chao. That face can be lost. Shang Jinfeng is the superior of the two. Of course, there is no need to be afraid of embarrassing to rescue the superior. Moreover, this time Shang Jinfeng was personally in charge of the Kunming ship, and it is reasonable to send a telegram to Shang Jinfeng.

Of course, Li Ya understood Wang Hailong’s intention and nodded and smiled: “I understand, I will draft a telegram immediately and send it to you later.”

At this moment, the radar soldier Huang Qingping said: "Captain, the Expeditionary Fleet is operating."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The first to retreat from the battlefield were the fleets of Russia and the Netherlands. The two fleets escaped south for more than 30 kilometers in one breath, but after completely leaving the battlefield, they fought each other.

This contradiction was planted when both sides had just evacuated. At that time, in order to compete for the retreat route, the Russian battleship Glory hit two Dutch cruisers, Curacao and St. Martin, and cracked the middle side of the side of the Curacao and sank into the water. St. Martin was also seriously injured. The Dutch flagship William I retaliatedly destroyed the tail of the Glory, and the two propellers were damaged and unable to move. So the Glory fired at William I and sank William I on the spot, performing a series of anti-broken dramas in the nest.

Since the fleets of both sides are not large, the loss of a battleship is a major loss to the fleets of both sides. Naturally, they are all angry. They just wanted to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and temporarily caught fire. However, in the expeditionary fleet, the fleets of both sides were formed together to form a fleet, but after evacuation, they all consciously opened up the distance, which was clearly distinguished. Now both sides have left the battlefield and escaped from danger, so of course they have to calculate the calculation.

First, another battleship in the Netherlands, Seven Provinces, generated electricity to the Russian fleet, accusing the Glory of deliberately sank Curacao, injured St. Martin, and then opened fire to sink William I, demanding that the Russian fleet admit its mistakes, bear full responsibility for it, and promise compensation.

Of course, the Russian fleet would not admit that it was its own mistake. Not only did it quibble, but it also turned the tables, indicating that collisions between warships were very common. The Glory hit the Curacao and injured the St. Martin were all accidents. On the contrary, William I deliberately hit the Glory, causing the Glory to lose its motivation. The wrong side was the Netherlands, and the Netherlands should compensate Russia.

As a result, both sides naturally had a long time to stand in their own way, and no one was convinced, and their words became more and more intense. But the Russians were not good at robbing people. They always believed that if they could move, they would never talk about guns. You, the little Dutch, dared to argue with Russia. Moreover, there is only one battleship left in the Dutch fleet, and it is a second-class battleship. What else can you say? You can directly search for the guys. So the Pantlemon fired at the Dutch fleet first, and the Dutch fleet naturally did not want to fall behind, so they fired and fought back. The two sides fought.

Although Russia has two battleships, there are three medium-sized protective cruisers in the Dutch fleet, and Russia does not have cruisers. In addition, in terms of the number of destroyers, the Dutch fleet also had an advantage of 8 to 6. Therefore, after the two sides fought, the Dutch fleet was not at a disadvantage. After about 20 minutes of fierce fighting, Russia was sunk two destroyers. The two battleships, the Pantlemon and Retasrov, were also shot in succession, and they were forced to be furious by the Dutch destroyers. However, the Dutch also sunk a destroyer, and the Seven Provinces also hit a 305mm shell.

Seeing that both sides were about to lose both sides, the French fleet arrived at this time. When they retreated very much, the French fleet basically suffered no losses. Seeing that Russia and the Netherlands actually fought, the French fleet also hurriedly separated the two sides and mediated for the two sides.

Although France cannot judge the reasons for the dispute between the two sides now, it still puts the overall situation first and is not safe now. It finally convinces both sides to stop the war temporarily and work together to deal with the People's Army Navy, but both sides refuse to form teams with each other again.

At this moment, the remaining warships of the British fleet also came to meet with them one after another, and the remaining warships of the British also took this opportunity to reorganize the fleet and negotiate the next plan.

There is nothing to say about the current situation. The Expeditionary Fleet has retreated and lost. All it has to do is to keep the remaining warships safely and bring them back. As for what to do later, it is for domestic politicians to have a headache. All parties have agreed with this result, so the next thing will be easier. In the end, all parties decided to go back to Kaohsiung first. After all, the Expeditionary Fleet's assisted ships and the Expeditionary Fleet are still in Kaohsiung, so retreating back to Kaohsiung first is the best choice.
