What is supposed to come will always come. Xiang Ying's fatal battle has finally reached the final moment. Seeing the entire battlefield turned upside down by the Zhiyuan in three hours, Xiang Ying has no trace of hope in his heart. The sorrow before death, on the contrary, a glimmer of glory spontaneously arises from the heart.
"I did it. I proved the combat effectiveness of our Chinese navy through actual combat. I also proved that the design idea of the Zhiyuan is the mainstream of the future navy!"
"I also left the first ray of military spirit of the navy to the Chinese people. With us dying in front, I think it will be harder for people in the future to be greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"I will go first on the navy's road to death! Those who are latecomers, I will give you a tour first. From now on, you must remember that the Chinese navy can only fight to the death!"
"My destiny today is also your destiny in the future. We are all one. We are all just stepping stones in the Chinese nation's deep blue ocean foundation!"
"If we want to embed the concept of the ocean in the blood of our Chinese nation, then we, the forerunners, will have to sacrifice our lives in blood sacrifice!"
At this point, Xiang Ying looked back to the south, looked in the direction of Amsterdam and said with a smile, "Fang Guan... do you know how my money is used? After this naval battle, it will be your last chance to eat!"
"The death of the Zhiyuan here will definitely cause an avalanche in the prices of all Prussian assets in a short period of time! But that is only a momentary thing. After that, the head of state will definitely lead the army brothers to sweep through Paris!"
"I have come into contact with the threat of the French at sea, and I have given you the last chance to take advantage of the bargains... How are you going to repay me?"
"That money is the Charge's money, and all his surplus will become the starting capital for the Charge's future rise!"
"I may die, but the stormtrooper's ideas will not be extinct, and my successors will be countless!"
Xiang Ying suddenly raised his head and pointed at the east and shouted, "You bastards are doing well! In the future, all your interests will be in the ocean. Without us to expand your territory for you, do you still want to sit back and enjoy the gains?"
"Everything I did today, you have to show it to me and remember it for the rest of my life! From the moment we see the sky, you have to be obediently prepared for everything my Dark Blue Navy wants!"
"Otherwise, I will turn into a fierce ghost and take the souls of all the soldiers of my Zhiyuan to seek eternal revenge on you! Our lives are not in vain!"
Those bastards in Xiang Ying's mouth are Lao Niu from Sihai Company, Mi Fu from East Asia Grain Trust, Hu Xueyan and Liu Henan, Fan Yan and the countless merchants and capitalists behind him!
Xiang Ying told them with practical actions that only the navy in the world can protect their interests, and only the navy's enterprising spirit can guarantee their core interests!
The Chinese capital and industrial products can only operate safely around the world with the protection of the navy!
The only guardian of the Chinese wealth is the navy!
Rumble... Thunder sounded in the sky, and lightning illuminated the dark night sky. The stranded Zhiyuan hull tilted slightly, and the mud stirred by the propeller at the tail of the ship was foaming and spreading.
The French were stunned for a moment, and Hof shouted excitedly, "Aground! Aground! This damn battleship is aground... shell him with all your strength... sink him!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed through Hof's mind, and this idea made him excited all of a sudden!
"This battleship is stranded...can I capture him? This battleship and all the technology of the battleship are needed by the empire!"
"If I can capture this battleship, then all my previous sins will be washed away!"
Although sinking the Zhiyuan is very enjoyable, the credit is not as great as capturing the Zhiyuan and sending it back to China! The Emperor, who is so happy about his success, will definitely hold a fleet review at the military port, and he will show off his trophies to the whole world!
By then, the empire's dignity will be restored. Now this bullshit war is all about how much face can be regained. Only illusory dignity can make the emperor's rule stronger.
If you make the emperor happy, of course your previous sins will be forgiven!
"Send my order, stop the bombardment! Send a signal to the Chinese... tell them that I respect their courage, and France admires warriors!"
"But now that you have hit the rocks and been stranded, you have no ability to fight!"
"Surrender! I can promise preferential treatment for the prisoners!"
The sound of artillery on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the dozen cruisers closest to the Zhiyuan began to send signals to him together. Soon everyone on the battlefield saw Hof's surrender order.
All the officers of the British fleet breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, the French have begun to persuade them to surrender, and this heroic battleship finally does not have to sink!"
"Accept it, Xiang Ying! You have proven your bravery and wisdom, and you have shocked the whole of Europe! Surrendering now is not humiliating!"
Although the Royal Navy believes in the spirit of the reef, they do not have stupid orders not to surrender. When the commander really finds that he has tried his best, when the battleship runs out of ammunition or food or the hull has completely lost its combat capability, then surrendering to preserve strength is also allowed. of.
It doesn't matter if they are prisoners of war. Warriors will naturally be rescued by the government. Even if a group of heroic officers and soldiers like Xiang Ying are sent to prisoner-of-war camps, the French will not dare to mistreat them!
It is said that this is really a preferential treatment of the Navy, because the Navy is a high-tech branch of the military. Every soldier here is not illiterate, and the entire army of officers and soldiers is very well educated.
Intellectuals are given preferential treatment all over the world. This seems to be a tradition for all mankind. The army is a group of illiterate farmers and workers. Even if such soldiers are captured, they are destined to do hard labor.
But the navy has been captured, and generally hostile countries are unwilling to harm them. This is out of respect for intellectuals. On the other hand, they know that these people are the elites of the enemy country, and mistreating them will definitely lead to extremely brutal revenge!
The Duke of Newcastle smiled and shook his head, "What you said is not comprehensive... Do you know that this captain is the nephew of the newly established King of the Far East, Xiang Shaolong!"
"As far as I know, Xiang Shaolong has no heirs, and now Xiang Ying is the first heir!"
"God! Do you think these French soldiers dare to abuse a future heir to the throne?"
Hiss... There was a gasp of air on the battleship. Only then did these people understand that this crazy battleship was commanded by an invisible prince and noble!
"Oh God! No wonder this command style is so unbridled...Tsk, tsk, tsk! That's it!"
