The reason William Baga wants to fight is because he thinks he still has a chance to win!

First of all, he didn't know about the existence of the "Dazhou" class.

This is wartime, and neither side will officially announce the trump card in their hands. Not only will they not officially announce it, they will have to hide it, and they will also have to release a lot of misleading false news. For example, the Ming Dynasty announced a while ago

It is necessary to start construction of the so-called "Han Zhaolie Emperor" class battleship with a standard discharge of 50,000 tons and a full discharge of 60,000 tons. It will be equipped with eight 400 mm caliber cannons, have a main engine power of 150,000 horsepower, and can reach a speed of 30 knots.

The British side boasted that it would start building the Victoria Princess with a standard displacement of 42,000 tons and a full displacement of 48,000 tons, equipped with eight 15-inch cannons, a main engine power of 150,000 horsepower, and a speed of up to 32 knots.

Both sides boasted loudly, but the real guys were well hidden. The Ming Dynasty's "First Emperor" class and the British "Emperor of India" class only showed up occasionally. As for "

The "Dazhou" class and the "William IV" class are simply top secret projects!

Secondly, William Baga knew that he could not escape safely back to Australia with most of the battleships because he had seen the speed of the "Shi Huangdi" class! This class of battleships could at least run 27 knots or 28 knots!

And they also have eight 330mm first-level artillery pieces, and their lethality is as amazing as their speed!

In addition, the lethality of Ming Dynasty's "big light cruiser" and carrier-based aircraft cannot be underestimated. The speed of the "big light cruiser" can also reach 27 or 28 knots, and the carrier-based aircraft has no speed limit!

Therefore, if William Baga orders to run away now, his fleet will be ruthlessly pursued by the enemy. In the end, one-half of the force will escape back to Australia. Thank God.

At 6:15 p.m., when dusk had arrived and the ocean near the battle area was shrouded in golden sunset, the chimneys of 24 British battleships, including the "King William IV" and the "Queen Elizabeth", began to spit out thick smoke.

, all battleships have turned on the forced ventilation mode!

Under the guidance of the "King William IV" and the "Queen Elizabeth", 24 battleships formed a vertical array on the sea, like a long steel dragon, rushing towards the six "Indian Emperor" class ships that were bombarding them.

"Qin Shihuang" level.

On the other side, the main force of the Second Battleship Division of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Navy includes two "Dazhou" class ships, two "Zhongwang" class ships, six hero class or hero modified ships, and six Hanwu Emperor class ships.

The 16 battleships also rushed to the battlefield at full power. However, unlike the British formation, they did not maintain a long snake formation, but were divided into three detachments, including two "Dazhou" ships and two "Zhongwang" ships.

There are six ships of heroes or heroes in one team, and six ships of Hanwu Emperor in one team.

The reason why they marched in three groups was because the sixteen battleships of the Ming army were a little far away from the battlefield, and the speed difference between them was relatively large. "Dazhou" and "Zhongwang" could both sail at more than 25 knots.

They are all considered to be high-speed ships. The Hero or Hero has a speed of 22-23 knots, which is not too slow. But the Hanwu Emperor class is not that good. It can barely reach 20 knots.

If these 16 battleships maintain the same speed, they can only advance at a speed of 20 knots. Now that the front line has become a group, there are tens of thousands of people in urgent need. Whoever gets reinforcements first will have a greater chance of winning!

"Boom boom boom"

The first to arrive on the battlefield was the British battleship formation led by William Baga! The two ships King William IV and Queen Elizabeth took the lead, leading 24 battleships to rush into the battlefield. At a distance of 28,000 yards from the First Emperor,

King William IV and Queen Elizabeth fired the first salvo.

Although the 20-inch 14-inch guns of these two battleships have almost no accuracy at this distance, they can still scare the "First Emperor" and the others. If they don't scare them, they will kill the "Emperor of India" and "Emperor of Rome"

, "Charlemagne", "King of Hanover" and "King of England" were all killed!

It turned out that after destroying the "King of Scotland" with one shot, the "Shi Huang" group of ships had to continue to show off their power. They quickly aimed all 48 330mm cannons at the "King of Scotland", which was almost trembling with fear.

King of England".

At this time, the "Emperor of India" and the "King of Hanover" who had previously been able to fire a few shots at "Emperor Tang Taiwu" from a distance had been thrown away.

The only ones who can still compete with a group of "First Emperor"-level cannons are the "King of England", "Roman Emperor" and "Charlemagne", three against six. It is already obvious who has the advantage.

Although the British also scored some hits and set the "First Emperor" on fire, those were only fires caused by hitting the lifeboats and cabins under the stern deck. For a 25,000-ton battleship, it was

It's a skin injury.

The six "Shi Huang" class ships fired round after round of 330mm artillery shells, and the "King of England" seemed to have fallen into a sea of ​​fire. The 330mm armor-piercing shells kept hitting this standard 25,000-ton battleship.

It exploded, and fire and smoke began to spread on the deck. The damage control team tried their best to suppress it with water hoses, but everyone still felt that it was only a drop in the bucket.

And this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that the carrier-based aircraft that just blew up a few Indian Emperors are now flying back to drop bombs and torpedoes.

But the British can't send a few "pigeon planes" to cover their own battleships - although there are still two British aircraft-carrying armored cruisers on the battlefield, most of the carrier-based aircraft pilots have already gone to see God unless

God lets us go, otherwise there will be no chance.

The "King of England", who was beaten almost to death, became the key target of a group of Ming Dynasty fighter planes, bombs and torpedoes kept flying upwards to greet him.

Therefore, the emergency telegram from the "King of England" was sent to the "William IV" like a snowflake, and the communications officer kept reporting to William Baga: "Admiral, the A turret of the King of England is destroyed, and all personnel died in the battle.

, the damage control team had to release water and flooded the ammunition depot!"

"Admiral, the waterline armor amidships of HMS King of England was penetrated by a torpedo, and a large amount of seawater poured in!"

"Admiral, the top of the C turret of the King of England was penetrated by a bomb, causing a fire!"

"Admiral, the stern of the King of England was hit by a torpedo. The rudder was blown and it cannot turn!"

"Admiral, the bow of the King of England was penetrated by a cannonball, a large amount of water entered, and the bow of the ship sank."

William Baga listened to the reports from his subordinates and held up his telescope to watch. He already had a general understanding of the situation. Of course, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up. He just urged loudly: "Hurry! Hurry up, the British Empire needs us to speed up!"

"Admiral!" Rear Admiral Jervis, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, suddenly shouted, "The lookout post discovered four large battleships of the Ming Dynasty, two of which were Zhongwang class, and the other two have not been seen before, but judging from their size

At least 30,000 tons!”

"What? 30,000 tons, isn't that?" William Baga felt like stars were popping out in front of his eyes. 30,000 tons, that's the level of "King William IV".

Considering the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding level, these two battleships must be very powerful!

If they are not eliminated, today's battle may be the sunset of the empire on which the sun never sets!

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his telescope and searched in the direction of the setting sun, and soon found four large Ming army battleships approaching rapidly!

Fortunately, there are only four ships... there is still hope.

William Baga raised his hand and pointed at the four battleships: "That is our goal. Forget about the Indian Emperor class now, we must sink all four battleships at all costs, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
