Chapter 124 Veterans Don't Die, Just Retire
"The Japanese are crazy! These wild dogs! The other party has sunk into the warship, and they are still shooting?!" Major Carlson's words were full of surprise and anger. If he only looked at his own likes and dislikes, he would never deal with such a navy!
"Speak the cannon! Send a signal, just say that the German fleet is coming!" Philipmant gritted his teeth and squeezed out such a sentence from his teeth. The British fleet commander had no intention of considering whether this matter was challenging the bottom line of human morality. He only knew that the German fleet had appeared on the sea now. What measures would the other party take when the Germans saw the Japanese attacking a warship that was ready to sink!
After all, when the Kaiyuan has lowered its combat flag, it means that the war has ended. The Japanese are equivalent to attacking people who have lost their combat effectiveness! There are Germans on the ship, and the German fleet has sufficient reasons to stop the Japanese from doing this. If this stop is more intense... Then the situation will immediately lose control. The remaining three warships face the two Munich-type armored cruisers in good condition, but they really can't beat them and can't escape!
"What are the British doing?" When the Japanese fleet watched the warships coming from afar open fire, more than 90% of the Japanese were stunned. "British uncle, I am your dog! How can you do this?" Well, this feeling is translated into this.
"No! Stop the attack! The opposite side seems to be talking about it, a new fleet is coming?" The frown of Kazuki suddenly let go. His whole face then twisted into a ball. He had already understood the meaning of it. Another fleet? This is probably the German fleet, right?
"Stop the attack immediately, the fleet evacuate! Evade immediately!" The things that the Japanese have always been most worried about finally happened. Their current behavior has challenged the Germans' bottom line. Thinking about the actions of the German fleet in the Battle of Toshima, Kazuki's cold sweat came down, and a cold air jumped directly from the tailbone to the forehead. Faced with the fierce beast, you can only beat it hard and let it know it is afraid! And the Germans did this. If it is still disobedient, then kill it directly! This is what the Americans in history did.
As the British fleet approached, more and more Japanese finally saw the danger signals transmitted on the flag language. Kazuki Kazuki did a good job, so leave quickly! At this time, I would like to explain to the other party? What are you thinking? After the Battle of Toyoshima, the Germans were afraid that they would open fire before the Japanese fleet approached. As for saving people? Leave them to the British, aren’t they allies? With this attitude, the Japanese decisively turned the blame on the British, and then took the fleet to evacuate at full speed!
"These cowards! Bastards!" The German fleet was still a step slower. When they arrived on the battlefield, the entire Japanese fleet had turned into black spots in the distance. The British were fulfilling their duty to rescue the people who fell into the water. Faced with this situation, Schell obviously could not start a pursuit. Two German cruisers joined the rescue operation without saying a word.
Perhaps because of the shallow sea, the Kaiyuan did not completely sink into the sea. The bow of the ship was raised high, like a broken sword inserted into the sea. Although it had been destroyed, the domineering aura in it was still the same. The Kaiyuan or Mainz, the most powerful one in the short period of months, was enough to make him a warship that has been famous in history!
"I hope that your country will hand over all the surviving naval officers and soldiers of the two countries to us. After all, I think neither the Beiyang Fleet nor the German officers and soldiers want to stay on the British ship, right?" Schell said this when he visited Major General Philip Fleet Commander of the British Fleet. This is already a hidden needle in his words! The British are definitely one of the culprits in the current situation. Although it is unclear, the British will never worry about the surviving people.
"Of course this is possible. Our warships cannot accommodate hundreds of surviving Beiyang Navy officers and soldiers. I admire your country's chivalrous actions. In addition, I would like to ask, what will your country do after this?" Philipmant asked carefully, afraid that the Germans would take any more extreme actions.
"We will remove all the meaningful parts of Kaiyuan, and some will be thrown into the Toyoshima Naval Battlefield and the Dadonggou battlefield, while the other will be sent back to Germany, which is where Kaiyuan was born. Are you relieved?" Scher's low but oppressive words made Philipmant's heart even more embarrassed.
"If you need help, just speak up." Philipmant said with an ugly face, and then ended the talks.
"The hateful British finally left." Looking at the ship shadow that was leaving, Hippel said. "Well, I want to ask, can I send me to another warship?" Hippel said sneakily.
"My Emden is a flagship! Is there anything that makes you dissatisfied? You and all the senior officers will be on my flagship. This is not only an environmental issue, but also a kind of respect." Schell was a little confused and then said sincerely.
"No, no, no, you don't know the situation. Guandai Yang doesn't want to leave the Kaiyuan warship, so I did some tricks, um, a little bit of tricks, but now it seems that the action is a little heavier. Do you understand? Of course, I am definitely not the mastermind behind the scenes, Scher is." Hippel said mysteriously.
"I understand, understand, that, ask, do you want to convey the last sentence you told me to Yang Guankai through me? I'm afraid this is not good, right?" Sher's expression of sudden enlightenment. "In addition, ask, it seems that when the Zhiyuan ship sank, Mr. Deng Shichang was rescued like this?"
"This is a little different. Mr. Deng is said to have been forcibly taken away in the sea. Well, he was rescued by passing American merchant ships. That's it." Hippel explained.
"I understand. I'll go back to contact Captain Hamburg for this matter, but if Mr. Yang insists on causing trouble for you, I can only dissuade you. Well, do you understand?" Sher said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
In the following days, the two German warships did not leave. They began to dismantle the memorable things on the Kaiyuan with the help of other ships, such as ship emblems, battle flags or car clocks. This process lasted for three days, and after that, two German armored cruisers fired guns to mourn. Then the Hamburg cruiser used two torpedoes to make Kaiyuan finally return to the embrace of the ocean.
