So, Su Xiong set a record, killing two divisions in less than 2 hours! More than 20,000 casualties were caused. Don’t forget that in addition to these soldiers of the Anzac-New Zealand Army, there were a large number of royal naval officers and soldiers in the fleet! Because of this record, Su Xiong was awarded the Count by the German Emperor. The British and Japanese called it the Blood Earl, the bloodthirsty maniac! The hatred was beyond words.

But to be honest, Su Xiong is really wronged. After solving the British fleet, he took other ships to contain British officers and soldiers who fell into the water, and even asked the Sturgeon attack ship to intercept merchant ships from other neutral countries to save these people who fell into the water. Judging from his performance, it can be described as a moral role model.

But unfortunately, because of the bad environment, the chaotic situation, and the telegram that Harris is the most cheating teammate in history, no one dares to enter the narrow strait to save people! When you go in, what if you are hit by a transport ship that is already scared like a mad dog? What if you accidentally touch a thunder?

So Su Xiong could only contact the British transport fleet through flags and telegrams over and over again, hoping that they could recognize the situation, stabilize their emotions, and then drive out and surrender peacefully.

"To be honest, it's better not to send this telegram to you." Su Xiong said to Colonel Harris who was rescued.

Of course, it cannot be said that it is not lucky. A merchant ship successfully passed through the minefield and then decisively chose to kneel down in the face of the Nautilus gun... Another merchant ship successfully leaned on the shallows of Pilin Island. After the beaching, thousands of British officers and soldiers on it escaped successfully, avoiding the fate of being bombed into pieces or being captured. They were the luckiest, but there was only one. Of course, there were more than one stranded ships, and many ships were stranded, but the people were unable to escape...

The chaos on the sea surface took an hour to calm down. At this time, the entire strait seemed to be covered with blood, the bodies of Australian and New Zealand soldiers and broken ship fragments. The scene like hell made everyone feel a hint of fear.

"God, this is definitely not the result I want." Raidel said as he looked at the miserable scene on the sea. Then he drew a cross on his chest.

The only remaining eight transport ships finally realized the situation and chose to surrender. Then they carefully sailed towards the German fleet at the entrance of the strait. After obtaining the consent of the Germans, two of them began to rescue the still alive people who fell into the water. After some rescue, more than 10,000 British and Australian and New Zealand officers and soldiers were finally saved. By the way, more than 4,000 people were on the shore in extremely lucky situations. They neither died at sea nor were captured, but compared to being captured, their fate may not be as good as the captives. After all, they would continue to go to the terrifying Western Front and fight in artillery fire and muddy trenches. Most of them will never return to their home in Australia.

The captured officers and soldiers were finally arranged on the remaining eight transport ships. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be Basra's prisoner-of-war camp. Just as the two auxiliary cruisers began to collect the prisoners and were responsible for escorting these captured warships, Su Xiong did not forget his responsibilities as a naval general. Since the Nautilus had sealed the exit of the strait near the coast of Asia, let the Sturgeon continue to work hard and use a water mine to put the entrance to the strait near the end of Africa... There is no way, since everyone is the enemy, this kind of thing cannot be avoided. Sympathy is sympathy, but what should be done must not be missed.

"The Japanese fleet has arrived. They already know the information about our battle with the British, but they should not know the specific situation. According to our camouflage reconnaissance ships, their transport fleet is staying in the Gulf of Aden, and two Satsuma-class battleships are heading to the battlefield!" Just when several German auxiliary cruisers chose to clean the battlefield, Nimitz sent the latest situation. Originally, it would be great that this ambush could kill the British fleet. For the Japanese fleet and the Japanese fleet, it would be as much as possible. After all, the British would definitely send information through the radio station.

Although the theoretically both sides have a voyage of less than one day, the distance is actually not long, because this voyage is calculated based on the speed of the transport ship about 8 knots. If the speed of the warship is only more than half a day, if both sides are driving relative to each other, they might be able to meet at noon.

As for whether the explicit warning telegram issued by the German fleet would cause the failure of the ambush, there is no need to worry about this, because the short-wave radio was used when sending the news, and the transmission distance of the short-wavelength electromagnetic waves was very short, only a few dozen kilometers. At this time, the Japanese fleet was still 100 kilometers away, so it could not be collected at all.

"According to our radio personnel's analysis, at the beginning of the war, the armored cruiser of the Defense Armored Cruiser issued an alarm for attacks, which was sent through shortwave. The Japanese might have received it, but there seemed to be something wrong with the Sydney radio system. The Melbourne is mainly medium-wave communication, so the Japanese should not receive much information." A moment later, Radell summed up the views of the technicians and then put forward an answer that matched Nimitz.

In other words, the current situation is that the Japanese knew that a war broke out here, but they were not clear about the strength and results of the two sides participating in the war. As a flagship, the Defense Unit has strong radio communication capabilities, but it survived the shortest time. The other two ships either had problems with their planes or had no time to do it... After all, the total battle time was not long.

"There are planes on the Nautilus. We can ask him to track the Japanese transport fleet. In addition to the two cruisers responsible for escorting the captives, the other two can follow the Nautilus. The two Japanese quasi-fading battleships were handed over to Schánhorst and Gneisenau for processing." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"Would we have to lose three cruisers? If the other party leaves a light cruiser, it will be difficult for us to do it." Raidel said.

"Why or the two main battleships separate?" Nimitz said hesitantly.

"This is not a good idea. Calculate as much as you can. Most of the opponents are slow merchant ships. We have seaplanes to help with reconnaissance. Even if they run for a night, they can't run much. In this sea area, the Schánhorst and Gneisenau are kings. The two British battle patrols in the Mediterranean are not a problem at all, and the main force of the Japanese fleet is still far away in East Asia." Su Xiong thought about it and decided to be safe. There will always be some unexpected factors in this naval battle to control the situation.
