Chapter 228: The Expeditionary Fleet is Destroyed Again
On February 22, 1937, the Chinese army annihilated the most concentrated army of more than 80,000 people in Australia in the Newcastle area of Australia. Although there were many other Australian troops left, they were all
It is so dispersed that it is impossible to organize effective resistance. At this point, it is only a matter of time before the complete fall of Australia.
On February 25th, the Great Yin Empire's Royal Navy expedition fleet from Europe finally entered Asia. The proud Great Yin Empire did not believe that the country could compete with the Great Yin Empire's Royal Navy. Sterling and colonies, since defeating Napoleon, Japan
It is these two things that make the Empire rich and prosperous in the world.
The big pillar, and the navy, is the foundation on which these two pillars depend. As an island country with a small mainland area, the Great Yin Empire relies on its powerful navy to spread across the world. The sea is the source of maintaining the prosperity of Britain and is the connection with the world.
External trade is the most important thing to expand power and exert influence.
Whether it is using Yin pounds for international trade, or transporting raw materials from colonies and dumping goods to them, they all have to rely on ocean routes. For the Yin Empire, the sea is both the front and the rear. Wealth flows in from the sea.
Threats also come from the sea. It is countless ships over the past two hundred years.
Only by transporting the world's wealth to the British Isles day and night, and having two great naval battles with sea coachmen and Spain that determined the fate of the country, could this small island country become the world's hegemon. This is why the Great Yin Empire tried its best to
The fundamental reason for maintaining the most powerful navy in the world.
In the Great Yin Empire, there is a famous song, which was born in 1704. Even in later generations, the BBC's New Year's concert still insisted on using this song as the closing song, and its status can even be said to exceed that of the Great Yin Empire.
The national anthem "God Save the Queen". The title of this song is "Rule, Britannia". A recurring lyric in this song is: "Rule! Britannia! Rule this turbulent ocean!"
From this "Second National Anthem" we can realize what the navy means to this island country in the Atlantic Ocean that has ruled the world for two hundred years. However, when the pace of history enters the long process after the twentieth century,
Together with her great navy, the British Empire has reached a turning point in history. Since the 18th century, the era in which a fully industrialized country could become a world hegemon as long as it occupied a corner of the continent or even several large islands is gone forever.
World hegemony gradually fell into the hands of countries that almost monopolized the majority of the entire continent.
The Great Yin Empire has not yet realized that maritime supremacy no longer depends on the number of battleships and the caliber of main guns; in the next war, aircraft carriers are likely to become the core of the new battlefield. New threats not only come from land, but also from
Sky. In this era, even one bomber that successfully penetrates the defenses is enough to bring destruction to the Royal Navy of the Great Yin Empire.
If the Great Yin Empire wants to dominate the world, it must maintain the airs of a global navy. Once upon a time, the Great Yin Empire had colonies all over the world. It was these colonies that provided endless wealth to the Great Yin Empire. Without the blood and tears of the colonial people, the Great Yin Empire would
Why is the Yin pound strong? There are no colonies that continue to support the Great Yin Empire
Blood transfusion, probably during World War I, the Great Yin Empire was really about to be brought down by this fleet that once brought her supreme glory. Now, the colonies in Asia are dying out rapidly, threatening the financial resources of the Great Yin Empire.
It's like cutting off the blood vessels of the Great Yin Empire. Do you think the Great Yin Empire can get angry without getting angry? This is also true
The reason why the Great Yin Empire quickly dispatched the imperial expedition fleet this time is that although the situation in Europe is extremely tense, Germany, the former continental power, is now stepping up the expansion of its army and the army is constantly equipped with more advanced weapons and equipment. This information about the Great Yin Empire
The authorities all know that as the current big underworld of the old European empire,
The empire's strings collapsed tightly, because Germany was the Great Yin Empire's old enemy, and the Great Yin Empire had a share of the credit for the outcome of the First World War. However, the Great Yin Empire cared too much about these colonies that had brought wealth to the empire, and the Great Yin Empire
The Yin Empire is a little impatient, especially since Australia is not a small colony, and the Yin Empire has to save it.
The colony, the wallet of the Great Yin Empire, allowed the Great Yin Empire to taste all the sweetness, and once allowed this small island country to show off its power all over the world. The colonies brought wealth to the Great Yin Empire and also expanded the war potential of the Great Yin Empire.
During World War I, which was not that long ago, how much wealth and war materials did the Great Yin Empire colonies scattered around the world bring to the war? Otherwise, if it were not for the support of these colonies, the Great Yin Empire would be struggling like this
I'm afraid it has long since declined.
Yes, the Great Yin Empire is trying its best to save its colonies from falling. The Great Yin Empire probably did not expect that these colonies will inevitably die out in a few years. Of course, these colonies that the Great Yin Empire relies on for survival attach great importance to it, but this trend is not a big one.
The Yin Empire can be saved if it wants to, but in the final analysis it can be summed up in one sentence: the British Empire is inevitably collapsing.
On February 27, the Great Yin Empire's Royal Navy Expeditionary Force, with the Queen Elizabeth as its flagship, was sailing across the Indian Ocean toward Australia. This imperial fleet also included the Revenge-class Resolve, the Ramiris battleship, and two aircraft carriers.
As well as a huge fleet consisting of thirty-five large and small ships, followed by transport ships carrying tens of thousands of soldiers from the Great Yin Empire Army to support Great Australia, it is truly a mighty force.
On the second day of the Qing Dynasty, the sky had left the darkness and started to become hazy. The fleet had already passed Christmas Island and was not far from Australia. Everything was silent, only the sound of the waves of the sea was left. At this moment
There were bursts of whistling sounds in the sky, followed by loud noises. The Queen Elizabeth was first hit by a bomb and exploded. After that, the Revenge-class Determination
The USS, the USS Ramiris battleship and the two aircraft carriers were hit and exploded one after another. Countless bombs were instantly dumped in the sky. The moving Royal Navy fleet of the Great Yin Empire was suddenly submerged in a huge wave caused by the bomb explosion.
After the wave passed, at least eight other warships exploded and sank quickly. Many other ships were also hit by bombs, and a raging fire broke out on the warships.
The Great Yin Empire's Royal Navy fleet fell into panic and chaos after the explosion. Subsequently, each ship sounded the battle alarm one after another. At this time, the naval submarine of the Qing Dynasty hidden in the sleepy sea began to take action.
A string of torpedoes shot toward the Great Yin Empire with a "Zizzi" sound.
The Royal Navy Fleet, "Boom...Boom." The explosion sounded, making the already chaotic Royal Navy Fleet of the Great Yin Empire once again frightened. Damn, not only must we be prepared for bombs from the sky, but we must also be careful underwater.
The torpedoes launched by the submarine were so paralyzed that no one survived.
That's not all yet. The fleet of the Chinese nation in the distance is coming at a rapid speed. At this time, the sky is already bright and the visibility is very clear. You can already see dozens of airships wandering in the sky looking for targets to drop bombs.
, Ni Ma, and used this move to release smoke. Can the airship have such accuracy to hit those battleships at once?
You know, it must be another trick played by the rogue emperor, otherwise why would Shenma always choose this time to attack? After the bombing, the big bird took advantage of the unclear sight and flew away. At dawn, let the airship of the Chinese people fly in the sky.
Slowly wandering around, let the Royal Navy of the Great Yin Empire see, um, it is the airship of the people from the Feng Kingdom that is causing trouble, hehe, that's enough.
Of course, the first fleet of the Ao Kingdom to arrive in this sea area was the bombers taking off from the aircraft carrier. The Royal Navy of the Great Yin Empire soon discovered that a large group of aircraft had arrived. Damn it, they had just finished their work underwater and now there is another threat from the sky.
The anti-aircraft guns quickly fired into the sky. For a while, the aircraft in the sky and the warships at sea started a fierce battle. At this time, the luckiest person was
The four destroyers that were still behind were covering a large transport fleet carrying nearly 100,000 troops. When they heard the explosion, they braked urgently to observe what happened first. This move they took
Saved the lives of most of them in the army. When it was soon discovered that the situation was not good and the situation was now at a very critical moment, the Great Yin Emperor
The Royal Navy of the United States was ambushed by the navy of the Chinese navy. The key is that all the current main battleships have been sunk. The remaining light cruisers and destroyers will not be the opponents of the navy of the Chinese navy. Their demise is only a matter of time. Army Commander John
The general made a decisive and strong demand to turn around and return home immediately. The four escorting destroyers felt that we were executing orders and were not considered deserters anyway.
While the enemy's planes were still fighting with the main force of the fleet, they were able to escape. Even so, four planes from the weak country were still chasing after them. Four destroyers desperately blocked the planes from the weak country. As a result, in the end, two transport ships
It was sunk, a transport ship and two destroyers were slightly damaged, and nearly 4,000 people were killed in the sea. The only good thing was that all four planes of the Feng Army were shot down.
The poor Royal Navy of the Great Yin Empire is really going to be doomed this time. The navy of the Allied Kingdom has all rushed over to surround them. Countless artillery shells are bombarding them continuously. Although the combat level of the Royal Navy of the Great Yin Empire is indeed very high.
, just for a while, they shot down more than ten aircraft of the Qing Dynasty, but was it useful? Warships in the fleet were hit and exploded from time to time, and the Great Yin
The number of warships of the Imperial Royal Navy is constantly decreasing, and now they are surrounded by warships several times their size, unable to escape. The Royal Navy of the Great Yin Empire, in grief and anger, knows what its fate will be next, and can only turn its grief and anger into
After gaining strength, they launched a desperate battle with the navy of the weak country. It didn't matter that their desperate efforts caused at least ten warships of the navy of the weak country to be hit by bombs and exploded.
Two hours later, the sea calmed down. The wreckage of several warships could still be seen burning on the sea. The sea was in a mess. It was obvious at a glance that something terrible had just happened here. The tragic Great Yin Empire Royal Navy Expedition Fleet,
Have a moment of silence.
The Great Yin Empire's Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet was once again annihilated, but this time it was annihilated by the Qing Kingdom's navy, at least on the surface.
