The commander-in-chief of the European Allied Navy, the English Admiral Marquis Holtz, commanded the entire strength of the European Allied Navy.

He prepared for a decisive battle with the Imperial Navy in the waters east of the Italian Peninsula.

The European Allied Navy is mainly dominated by the English Navy, which controls 90% of the steam ships in the European Allied Navy.

But the majority of the ships and submarines that drive honorable tactics are British.

The British have not faced an imminent threat and mainly provide ships and trained officers to the European Allies.

Selected to carry out the honorable tactic of dying with the enemy, these people are mainly members of wandering regimes, as well as countries facing imminent threats.

For example, the Greek royal family and its restoration groups were wandering in France, as well as the Holy Roman Empire and Russians who were facing the crisis of national subjugation.

Especially the Russians, who have been oppressed by the Chinese Empire for a long time, and there are many enemies in the country who are willing to risk their lives for the Chinese Empire.

Admiral Holtz knows that the current naval strength of the European Allied Forces is very different from that of the Imperial Navy of Great China.

He chose to launch a decisive battle mainly for two reasons.

The main reason is that the naval strength of the Dahua Empire is constantly growing.

As time continues to drag on, the navies of European countries have no chance of winning.

If they fight a decisive battle one day earlier, they will have an extra chance of winning.

The secondary reason was that the Great China Empire only sent part of its navy, and he believed that the gap between the two armies was not too big.

The armies of the Great China Empire are even more concerned about their lives, and their glorious tactics will only produce the expected results.

This will make the Great China Navy fear them. Once the Great China Navy develops fear, their chances of winning will greatly increase.

Admiral Holtz used his telescope to observe the scene ahead.

He has dispatched thirty submarines carrying out glorious tactics.

Even if two submarines can take away an enemy ship, his tactics will be effective.

He saw a column of water rising up from the sea in front of him, followed by a simmering sound.

Admiral Holtz's lips curled up slightly, the glorious tactics were already at work.

He immediately asked the flag soldiers to issue orders to prepare for combat.

They have entered the warning range of the Great China Navy, and a naval battle can break out at any time.

…………………………

Zhan Tie, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Great China Empire, received telegrams from all major fleets.

He kept drawing dynamic situation diagrams on the paper with his pen.

Commander Zhan Tie threw the pen on the table, slapped his hand on the situation map, and said: "I am worried that the European Allied Navy is scattered in various places.

We have to chase them like mice in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.

I didn't expect these people to come to my door.

This time we must make use of our army's high mobility to annihilate the enemy's ships as much as possible.

Every time we sink a ship, we will be more relaxed in the future."

Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan looked at the situation map and said with some regret: "I originally wanted to test the actual combat capabilities of the Qin Shihuang battleship, an emperor-class battleship.

But now, he has no opponent at all.

According to the situation reported by each ship, cruisers are more suitable for dealing with the European Allied Navy fleet.

The cruiser is equipped with a 150 mm caliber rapid-fire gun.

This kind of rapid-fire cannon, which can fire more than ten rounds per minute, cannot destroy enemy ships as long as one shot hits them.

Using the main guns of battleships to deal with these small boats is a complete overkill."

Supervisor Zhao Changkong has different opinions.

"Chief of Staff Cao, even if it means killing a chicken with a bull's-eye, we still have to use it.

Don't forget the Royal Navy's operational goals this time, in addition to controlling the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean and assisting the Royal Army in combat.

We also have another strategic goal, which is to use strong strength to deter European countries.

No matter how the situation develops next, deterring European countries can bring beneficial results."

Commander Zhan Tie nodded and said: "That's true. The battleship Qin Shihuang will also go all out in this naval battle.

The lion still needs all his strength to beat the rabbit, and he must not be complacent at any time.

There will be many surprises in war, and you can never sit back and relax because you are strong on paper."

After the senior leaders of the Imperial Navy fleet unified their opinions, stern telegrams were delivered to every naval admiral one after another.

They saw that their superiors were well prepared and believed that the European Allied Navy might have extraordinary back-ups.

The military got rid of their impetuous mentality and began to position themselves to deal with the arrival of the European Allied Navy.

There was not much wind and waves in the Mediterranean, but as the distance between the two armies got closer and closer, the atmosphere became very solemn.

Captain Wei Fang of the destroyer Laiyang received blessings from his colleagues.

He has been praised by Commander Zhan Tie for discovering the merits of the main force of the European Allied Navy fleet.

With this achievement, and if he can perform some meritorious service in the subsequent wars, he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court.

However, Wei Fang did not swell because of the blessings from his colleagues.

The war that is about to begin will be the cruelest war he has encountered since joining the army.

Whether he can save his life depends entirely on God's will.

Even the battleships dare not claim to have escaped unscathed from this war, let alone destroyers like them with weak armor.

Wei Fang stood on the deck and looked to the west. He could already see the condensed black clouds formed by the black smoke emitted by the European Allied Navy steam engines.

The two armies have reached the visual limit of distance, and war may break out at any time.

Chief of Staff Xu Kuo ran out of the ship island and said excitedly: "The Fleet Staff has sent the final combat mission.

Our Laiyang ship is responsible for using steel trawls to intercept underwater submarines and prevent submarines from attacking the Qin Shihuang battleship."

When Wei Fang heard that it was this mission, his face showed some relief.

This mission does not require you to go to the cruelest front line immediately, but this mission is also extremely important.

The battleship Qin Shihuang was the flagship of the Royal Navy. Once it was sunk by the European Allies in despicable ways.

The morale of the Royal Navy will drop to the bottom, and even if it wins the Mediterranean naval battle, the rewards obtained by the entire fleet will be greatly reduced.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Laiyang was able to achieve this mission because it was the first submarine to sink a submarine, and it was still safe and unharmed. The fleet executives believed that his experience in dealing with submarines

Rich.

Captain Wei immediately ordered the destroyer Laiyang to approach the battleship Qin Shihuang.

He found that at this time, the formation of the entire fleet began to change.

A squadron is formed with one battleship, two to three cruisers as the core, and several destroyers to cooperate.

The entire fleet was divided into three squadrons, forming a triangle to outflank the European Allied fleet.

On the island of the battleship Qin Shihuang, Chief of Staff Cao Zhengyuan said with some worry: "The European Allies adopted the tactics of mutual destruction. Their goal is to sink the battleship, especially the fleet flagship Qin Shihuang.

We sent the battleships Taishan and Huashan to both sides.

When the European Allied Forces see this situation, they will inevitably attack the Qin Shihuang battleship frantically.

If two warships, the battleship Taishan and the battleship Huashan, were sunk, the impact would not be as great as the sinking of the battleship Qin Shihuang."

Commander Zhan Tie said firmly: "I have thought about this decision for a long time and implemented it after thorough consideration.

The most powerful thing about the Royal Navy compared to the European Allied Navy is that we have powerful battleships.

The battleship cannot exert its full strength in this naval battle, which is a complete waste.

Killing a chicken with a sledgehammer requires our army to go all out, so that we can kill a large number of European Allied navies in the first time.

The battleship Qin Shihuang cannot hide at the rear of the fleet and let the destroyers with thinner armor block damage.

The existence of the battleship Qin Shihuang will also draw all the attention of the battlefield to it, creating opportunities for the battleship Taishan and Huashan."

They heard a loud bang on the deck, and then heard the scream of cannonballs.

Then the battleship Qin Shihuang shook slightly.

As the battleship swayed, one shell after another flew towards the direction of the European Allied Navy fleet.

The sound of hydraulic transmission came from the battery of the battleship Qin Shihuang, and the clicking sound of gears also sounded.

The artillerymen cooperated with the automatic ammunition feeder and began to load the main gun.

They stood on the island and looked to the west.

The main gun of the battleship Qin Shihuang has opened fire on the European Allied fleet.

The battleship Qin Shihuang is about 18 kilometers away from the European Allied Navy.
