The Rise of the Empire

And after eating "wood" and "stone" for dozens of days, when Yang Yonglin made this suggestion again, Hipper did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Has Guan Yang led you to consider your own way out?" ?”

"We fought to the death for the reason. The ship sank and the people died!" Yang Yonglin's answer was very simple, and he vowed not to surrender. In history, Yang Yonglin finally had a bullet that ended his life, but this time, the path he arranged for himself will follow. More decent, more vigorous!

"You have done your best for this country, such a corrupt government is not worthy of allegiance. You almost have a natural instinct for naval warfare. If you change to a broader stage, you will have a greater development prospect. And it may not be necessary for you to stay in the Qing Dynasty Will die well." Hipper said seriously.

"A wider stage? Hehe, the defeated man dares to speak bravely? The ship is alive, but the ship is dead and the ship is dead." Yang Yonglin smiled wryly.

"Go to Germany, our Prince admires officers like you very much, and if you agree, you and your subordinates will be given asylum by the German government after the battle. And your family, and even your future Your Royal Highness has arranged the road, and you can go to the Kiel Naval Academy to teach. Your level and record are completely worthy of this position."

For heroes, Ruprecht admires very much, and no matter how well he can, it is also possible to help arrange the way out. So before leaving, Ruprecht had already told Hipper his thoughts. After all, the latter is a Bavarian, and it would be more reassuring to leave it to him. And as comrades who have fought together for such a long time, after eating together the black and hard bread and the beef jerky that needs to be processed with a file, Hipper is also willing to help from the perspective of a friend.

"Think about it, we will fight until the last moment! The glory of the Kaiyuan will be preserved! But after the battle, I hope you will go to Germany with me, even if it is a temporary refuge. I will entertain you at my home in Bavaria You and your family. Even His Royal Highness will invite you to be a guest in the palace." Finally, Hipper said sincerely.

"Yang Guandai, it's the Japanese fleet!" When Yang Yonglin was about to reject Hipper again, an officer pointed to the gradually clear smoke column in the distance and said loudly.

"I can't go!" When the figure of the Japanese fleet gradually became clear, almost everyone realized that the last moment had come! Following the formation of the Japanese fleet, Yang Yonglin and others could even distinguish the models of these warships.

The first is naturally the first-class cruiser Kasuga, the second is the second-class cruiser Takasago, although the tonnage is much smaller, but its firepower is very fierce, the third is Chiyoda, and the fourth is Akashi. The elite of the Japanese Navy gathered together! The average speed is over 19 knots! It is ten o'clock in the morning! The weather was clear and the visibility was high. God is not beautiful, the opponent can fight and run, and the number is crushing, and I don't even have enough shells! How can such a bomb win?

"Hehe, if I can survive, I really want to go to Germany and visit the birthplace of the Kaiyuan cruiser. I will bring its battle flag back to the place where it was born. A true warrior should return home with honor. Hometown." Yang Yonglin sighed in his heart.

"The fleet is ready to fight!" At the last moment, the Kaiyuan staggered and drew a U-shaped course on the sea. Since there is no way to escape, let's face it! "The battleships concentrate all their firepower on the Chiyoda!" Even in the inevitable defeat, Yang Yonglin still made the most rational and correct choice!

If the Kai Yuan can sink an opponent's warship in the end! Then it can only be Chiyoda! Forget about Kasuga, Kaiyuan, which has yellow blood and only one-third of blue, may not be able to beat Kasuga, which is full of blood and demons. Takasago seems to be a delicious target, but its agility is too high. And the output is also very strong, and the protection of the core cabin is also good. If you can't beat it, you can at least run. The Akashi is at the rear of the formation,

Although it is a third-class cruiser, its displacement is not low, and the key is that it can run away even if the situation is not good.

But Chiyoda is different! This ship is the smallest in tonnage! Only about 2400 tons! In other words, the blood bar is the shortest! Although it is known as an armored cruiser, the defensive power of this battleship can only be described as haha! Basically, there is no problem of not being able to wear it! And the most important thing is that there is a problem with the power system of this ship! Maybe the price given by the Japanese was too low, even the British couldn't stand it anymore, so they secretly replaced the original warship boilers with train boilers, and among the four warships, the Chiyoda ship is the longest. ! The condition is also the worst! At this time, if you don't hit you, who will you hit?

"Here we come!" Huashan Ziji personally commanded on the Kasuga, and when watching the scarred Kaiyuan ship go to its final destiny like the Nordic gods in the twilight of the gods, Huashan Ziji couldn't help it Don't say a word! "Order the fleet to fire a 21-gun salute!" 21-gun salute, this is almost the treatment when facing a head of state! Although the Japanese are brutal, there are also people who respect real warriors.

The upper 6-pound guns of the four battleships served as the salute in this special "protocol" mission. Although it was messy, it was still solemn in this chilling atmosphere. At this moment, Huashan Ziji could already claim to be the winner. The other party had already run out of fuel and may not even have enough shells. The champagne to celebrate the victory could already be put on the table, but at this moment he hesitated!

"We can persuade it to surrender, and then capture this warship, and I can guarantee the rights and interests of the captured on behalf of the British Navy. I think your country should have no meaning for this?" Colonel Ingalls, who was accompanying the ship, suggested, facing Huashan Ziji was really moved by this suggestion!

Although the record of the battleship "Super God" in front of me was achieved by the Japanese! The life and death of at least nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers were directly or indirectly related to it. But what a ship it is! Especially in the face of the Japanese Navy under the current situation, one more such warship has inestimable value.

"They won't surrender. Making such a request for such a warrior is an insult to the warrior and our IQ!" Kasuga Captain Hirai Kozo said, shaking his head.

The captain is right. Yang Yonglin and the others are not fools. They should have known the outcome after the last battle. If they want to survive, they can just sail the ship to a neutral port, and then disarm them decently. Armed and waiting for the war to end. But they don't! This battleship continued to bite the Japanese transportation line like a mad dragon! until yesterday! This blood vessel that maintains the Japanese army's front line is still bleeding!

"But there are Germans on it! They have no reason to fight the Qing Dynasty to the death!" Ingalls said.

"Okay, don't worry about this anymore, no matter what the Germans think, this battleship has made a decision! He decided to fight to the end! We should respect their choice!" At this time, the battle flag on the Kaiyuan, which was about to meet the enemy, had already rising! Huashan Ziji eliminates all distracting thoughts and prepares for the final battle of this war!
