The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 311: Pursuit

The Descartes lost its combat power less than 20 minutes after the battle with the Hamburger. The entire battleship turned into a burning torch. Under this, the French captain announced the abandonment of the ship. \u003c/p\u003e "Let's do this first, to save face for the French." Looking at the French warship that had gradually sunk into the sea in the distance, Scheer, who had won the first victory in his life, was still very satisfied. He didn't do anything for himself, and Scheer knew that this confrontation was caused by an accident. In order to have a better ending in the future, Scheer is still relatively magnanimous to the enemies who have lost their combat effectiveness. \u003c/p\u003e"Let the East Africa supply ship rescue those who fell into the water, and let's help the Prime Minister!" Scheer, who was in a good mood, decisively took his warship to the battlefield not far away. After shooting each other, the Charlemagne gradually couldn't stand it anymore! \u003c/p\u003eWhen a 254mm heavy artillery shell completely stuck the No. 2 turret of the Charlemagne, the threat of this latest French warship to the Marquis of Bismarck was already minimal, relying on the remaining two 12-inch Cannon, at a distance of more than 5500 meters, if you want to hit your opponent, you really can only rely on rp. \u003c/p\u003e"General, the Descartes is also finished, we can't run out now." An officer said in horror, pointing to the warship that was spewing flames in the distance. \u003c/p\u003e"General, a fire broke out in the port secondary battery gallery, and more than half of the gallery was destroyed. The fire is a little uncontrollable!"\u003c/p\u003eThe successive bad news made the French fleet commander despair. I didn't expect that a simple deterrent mission could lead to such a result! His fleet was attacked by surprise and suffered an unimaginable defeat! Three French warships, with a total tonnage of 25,000, were defeated in less than an hour! \u003c/p\u003eIf it weren't for the rumbling guns from outside, and the violent vibrations and the sound of armor being torn apart after the battleship was hit from time to time, Lieutenant General Pierre would have thought he was dreaming! And with the arrival of the Hamburger, the battle situation became even more one-sided. \u003c/p\u003eThe two German warships began to close the distance between each other. At the closest time, the Marquis Bismarck was only about 2,000 meters away from each other! At this distance, the heavy artillery firepower of the two German warships has been brought to the extreme! Even in just one minute, 4 rounds of 254mm and 11-inch shells hit this poor battleship! And it's all concentrated in the tail! \u003c/p\u003eIn an instant, one after another explosions came from the stern of the Charlemagne, and even half of the stern was cut off by the violent explosion! The deck at the stern of the entire hull was completely distorted, billowing thick smoke and flames emerged from the damage, and a column of smoke several tens of meters high rose from the stern. \u003c/p\u003eBut the deadliest blow came from the 11-inch shell of the Hamburg, which directly hit the steering gear room of the battleship! After easily tearing off the outer armor, the personnel and all the machinery inside were smashed into pieces. The majestic Charlemagne instantly drifted on the sea like a lappy dog ​​with its spine broken. \u003c/p\u003e"The Charlemagne has no ability to fight back, let's use a torpedo to solve it?" Such an inquiry was sent from the Hamburger. \u003c/p\u003e "Wait a minute, let's get in touch with the French." Hipper said after looking at the warship in the distance that had tilted a little and continued to stagger. \u003c/p\u003e "Remember, you will become a general in the future! As a general, in addition to doing a good job in military affairs, you must also learn to think from a political perspective, because military itself is the continuation of politics.

Soldiers who do not understand politics are not qualified! Hipper remembered what his prince said to him alone at the farewell reception before he set off.\u003c/p\u003e "This battle is a bit inexplicable! "Until now, Hipper, who has relaxed his mind, doesn't know why the battle broke out, how did the two damn French transport ships explode!" Ask Scheer, what happened to the French transport ship ? "\u003c/p\u003e "They didn't listen to the advice, entered the minefield, and then hit the mines one after another.... "When Hipper saw the message sent by the semaphore in the distance, he was a little dumbfounded." This is definitely the most absurd reason for fighting in the last 100 years! "The French accidentally ran into a Portuguese minefield, and then fought the German fleet...\u003c/p\u003e "Fleet cease fire, and then send this information to the French, we should consider the aftermath. "Whether the fight continues or not, the German fleet has become the de facto winner, and the reason for this exchange of fire is so absurd, Hipper really thinks that the misunderstanding should not continue to expand.\u003c/p\u003e" The Germans seem to have stopped shooting. They are running away from us! "When the French naval officers and soldiers who suffered heavy casualties saw the two warships in the distance stop firing, they were surprised, and a kind of joy of surviving after the catastrophe emerged spontaneously.\u003c/p\u003e "It must be that our fleet has arrived, and it must be killed Germans. "A soldier from Lorraine waved his fist angrily at the German fleet in the distance.\u003c/p\u003e "So what? We have lost our combat effectiveness, and even if two more warships come, they may not be opponents of the Germans, let alone, they shouldn't be here at this point in time. "Pierre is also a little confused, but he knows that there will be no more reinforcements in this sea area!\u003c/p\u003e"The Germans are signaling, they say... "The dutiful captain looked at the signal flag of the German fleet in the distance and said: "They said that our transport ship actually hit a Portuguese minefield. The German fleet has just arrived here for only 3 hours, and there is no time to deploy mines…. "\u003c/p\u003e "Pfft... Lieutenant General Pierre felt his eyes go dark after hearing this, and a fishy liquid rushed up his throat, and then he didn't know anything, and there were waves of anxious shouting and walking in his ears. At this time, Pierre really hoped that he could fall down like this and never wake up again. He couldn’t bear this responsibility! Afterwards, his consciousness completely sank into the darkness.\u003c/p\u003e" Send Mr. Lieutenant General down for a rest, and leave the rest to me. "Captain De Skok sighed and said, now that the battle is over, both sides have lost the reason to fight. Since the Germans are willing to talk, then Skok must be responsible for the soldiers on his ship.\u003c /p\u003e"Arrange it, I will go and talk to the Germans in person, and the battleship will be handed over to you. Remember to exercise restraint at all times, so that the dignity of the French Navy will not be insulted! "Captain Scock patted his deputy on the shoulder and said.\u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friend Dugu Siqin's 588\u003c/a\u003e, as well as book friends Melancholy の涛, Slowly Youk, Fly Hammer of Destruction, Hai You \u003c/a\u003e~~~ from Bian, bighill1982, and \u003c/a\u003e support from book friends like Scarlet, tq1377, hill2, Cthulhu V against the sky, Kaihuai Daddy and other book friends~~~!
