Chapter 211 I Can't Die If I Want To Die!

"Are you going to Hong Kong or to the French colony?" Sevilla was hesitating. Now he really couldn't fight anymore. Since he lost the throne of the maritime overlord and was defeated again to his old enemy British in the Battle of Trafalgar, the Spanish Navy has since been like a warrior who has lost his soul. The glory is gone, and the Spanish Navy has no sense of responsibility and will, how can the Spanish Navy compete with the vigorous Americans? So what if he resists it himself?

During the Qing-Japanese War, Yang Yonglin commanded a warship and tangled with the Japanese fleet for several months. He deeply admired him and wanted to create a miracle of his own. But unfortunately, his officers and soldiers were unwilling to do so. Their spirits had collapsed, and it was a normal sign to be able to run out. Want to fight again? There might be a mutiny? Looking at the wounded people everywhere and the endless wailing sounds, Sevilla knew that his own battle was finally over.

Now Sevilla doesn't think so much, so she can only command the warships to continue walking north. At this time, the majestic Carlos V, which was a little embarrassed a few days ago, was covered with bullet holes and burning flames left by high-explosive bombs. The half-pull bridge was burned into a pile of ruins. After all, it was besieged by three protective cruisers and hit for a full 3 hours! The shells were almost zero, and no matter how low the hit rate was, it also output tons of damage.

There were also people who were also very tired. In order to run out, the furnace drivers on the ship were killed. In the end, 30% of the furnace drivers were exhausted and a few were exhausted. In this era, the speed of warships not only depends on the boiler, but also on the manpower! There was no way, most of the coal in the warship was manpower, but some merchant ships later used chain furnaces. At this time, the speed of the warship could only reach 12 knots, and slowly sailed towards the Port of Manila.

Perhaps God believed that Spain had not suffered enough disasters. Just as Sevilla finally sailed out of the Sulu Sea and continued to sail north, the huge Japanese fleet was also sailing south. This time, in order to ensure the safety of the fleet, the Japanese placed the four most powerful armored cruisers in front as avant-garde. Togo Hirahachiro was standing on the bridge of the Himegen at this time, looking at a distant place.

"Hmm?!" At this time, a faint smoke pillar in the distance attracted the attention of Hirahachiro Togo. A torpedo boat was sent for reconnaissance. About 2 hours later, the destroyer brought a news that shocked all the Japanese - the Spanish fleet was found in the distance, but only one warship was left, and he was covered in injuries. Judging from the ship type, it should be the flagship of the Spanish! This news made the Japanese have accumulated for a long time finally erupted! The American fleet really took action, and it defeated the Spanish fleet in one round! This American is also too powerful, right? Hirahachiro Togo was also a little upset.

"Notify Commander Karayama Shikiji." Hirahachiro Togo pondered for a moment and then issued an order, and then ordered the fleet to follow. At this time, the power in his hand could be described as crushing. It is actually not difficult to kill this half-dead warship, but Hirahachiro Togo wants to get more benefits, such as the information provided by the Spanish, and... a complete warship!

"Ltd. Col. Jericho, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I hope that you can represent the Imperial Navy to persuade the Spanish warship to surrender. If possible, we can at least avoid one battle and save a lot of lives." As Japan's godfather, the Japanese Navy's participation in the war will naturally follow the inspection this time. At the same time, the British Royal Navy officers will be responsible for the contact task. John Jericho was fortunate to board the most elite warship of the Japanese Navy and traveled with Hirahachiro Togo.

"In order to destroy hatred and save more lives, I am willing to persuade the Spanish fleet to surrender on behalf of the Royal Navy. Of course, the premise is that if the other party accepts your request, the Japanese fleet must give corresponding treatment. Some things that happened in the Qing and Japanese war must not happen again, especially when I use the glory of the British Royal Navy as a guarantee." John Jericho was very disgusted with the Japanese's character, whether it was a war or a massacre. Usually, he just hated it, but if the British were to be a third party, then some problems must be made clear! And paper documents must be left!

Togo Hirahachiro quickly agreed on everything, and then it took more than an hour for the entire Japanese fleet to finally include the only Spanish warship in the rangefinder's vision. At this time, they were a little depressed because they didn't know why the warship suddenly stopped! Driving with the flow under the influence of the waves.

"Damn!" At this time, when I saw a series of smoke appearing on the sea level, Sevilla felt like a dog-like feeling in her heart! What's going on? Even if the American fleet chased her, it should have come from the south. Did the Americans surpass themselves and intercept themselves in the north? Or even occupied the Port of Manila and came back to block themselves? Is this too much?

Although the Spanish Navy is not good at fighting, they have a very NB skill, that is, the Tonghai Valve sinks itself! The Tonghai Valve of the ammunition depot was first opened, and the main artillery ammunition depot at the beginning and end first entered water. The surging sea water swallowed up several shells that were not fired in the ammunition depot at all. The warship draught increased by more than half a meter. However, at the critical moment, the Tonghai Valve of the hull power cabin had a problem... I don't know if it was rusted or stuck, but it just couldn't be opened anyway!

The so-called survival is not something that cannot be killed, but not death is not something that is said to be in this state. It is quite easy for a warship to sink itself. Opening a sea valve and detonating an ammunition depot can make a warship disappear from the sea quickly. But the current situation is really bad. The sea valve in the middle of the hull is broken and cannot be opened. It is almost impossible to sink itself. Although there is a lot of water entering the front and tail, what about Baron Vittorio? The main armor box designed by the others is very large in length and has a lot of redundancy. Even if the ammunition depot enters water, as long as the core power cabin does not enter water, the warship can at least float on the still water surface... This was originally an advantage, but now it has become the thing that annoys Sevilla the most! There were torpedoes that could self-detonate, but when they were fighting with the US fleet, the bow of the ship was severely flooded, and the torpedo cabin could already raise fish!

"Okay, let's not talk about it. If it is the American fleet, prepare to raise the white flag and surrender!" Sevilla made the worst plan, but when the shadow of the ship in the distance gradually became clear, Sevilla was once again messy! Because he saw a situation that he could not have imagined! Four Sun-Enter armored cruisers appeared on the sea! The Hinomaru flag flying high above made these Spanish fleet commanders fall on the deck!
