When Charles I and others rushed to the beach, they saw the imperial fleet killing them.
Robert Blake's strategy was mercilessly defeated.
No British squadron was a single enemy of the Imperial fleet.
Wherever the Imperial fleet passed, these squadrons all fell apart, unable to escape collapse.
Two hours later, the entire ocean was covered with ruins and countless British flags were scattered.
"Aren't the Dutch and the parliamentary traitors allies? Why are they fighting?"
Seeing the heavy losses of the parliamentary fleet, Charles I was really happy. It's just that it's incredible for the opponent of the parliamentary fleet.
After deciding to launch a civil war, he also sent people to the Netherlands, hoping that the Dutch rulers could provide help because the two sides were relatives.
Unexpectedly, William II did not have the consciousness of relatives at all. Instead, under the instigation of domestic capitalists, he flirted with the traitors in the parliament.
Now the Dutch are fighting with the parliamentary fleet and even have the upper hand.
Have the Dutch figured it out?
Seeing the Imperial fleet redirecting in the distance and inserting itself into the battlefield at any time, Robert Blake was exhausted physically and mentally.
He knew he couldn't fight any longer.
Otherwise, the entire fleet will have to answer here today.
We must go back to sum up our experience and come up with ways to deal with the imperial fleet.
He could not imagine how terrible it would be once Britain lost control of the nearby ocean.
"Order all warships to withdraw from the battle and return to London."
After receiving the order, all the British breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't want to fight this damn battle for a long time.
After all, the opponents are too powerful, and their fighting methods are confusing to them.
Although the British were all outlaws at sea, no one was willing to endure a battle that was obviously unwinnable.
The British fleet retreated.
It just so happened that the Imperial fleet was maneuvering in the distance at this time. By the time it was discovered, it was too late to turn around and come back.
Kong Zhiguang felt very sorry for this and breathed a sigh of relief.
The empire traveled all the way to Europe in order to interfere in the affairs here and thereby make profits for the empire, but it was by no means an advantage to other countries here.
The British Parliamentary Army must be targeted, but cannot be defeated easily. Otherwise, how can we get benefits from the endangered King of England?
On the shore, many people cheered when they saw the parliamentary fleet escaping in panic.
Although it is not yet clear whether it is an enemy or a friend, the royalists are very happy no matter who attacks the parliamentary army.
The sea finally calmed down.
The Imperial Fleet and the Dutch Fleet began post-war proceedings.
Compared to the Imperial Fleet, the situation of the Dutch Fleet is undoubtedly much more tragic.
Eighteen battleships were sunk by the British, with more than 700 casualties and 300 missing.
There was no way, the British fleet could not catch the imperial fleet, and basically vented all its anger on the Dutch.
The Dutch fleet acted as MT and could only fight to the end.
Fortunately the outcome was good.
They won.
More than forty British warships were sunk in this battle, and a large number of skilled sailors perished at sea.
Most importantly, he also killed the famous British general George Monk.
It can be said that the British fleet's vitality was greatly weakened, and its influence in the North Atlantic plummeted.
Don't underestimate this.
The European coast is only so large, and countries are working hard to control the ocean. If one country becomes stronger, other countries will be squeezed.
Especially in recent years, the trade friction between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom has increased unknowingly. Many Dutch merchants were robbed by British pirates and suffered heavy losses.
As for whether they are real pirates, everyone knows.
Through this battle, the Dutch saw an opportunity to suppress the British.
The battlefield was being cleaned here, and Prince Charlie couldn't hold it any longer. He asked for a small boat from the imperial fleet and hurriedly headed to the shore.
It happened that Charles I and others were on the shore and watched the whole naval battle. When they saw that it was the reinforcements brought back by Prince Charles, everyone was very happy.
"How did you convince the Dutch to change their minds?"
Prince Charlie was well praised by his father and received the respect of all the important ministers, which cleared away the previous gloom.
"This time it is not my fault. Minister Liao Zhongjian, who came from far away from China, is wise and wise, and has a clear understanding of the situation in Europe. Through his efforts, the Netherlands can understand the future situation and decide to support us."
"Chinese?"
Charles I tasted it silently, his mind a mess.
In this era, the exchanges between Britain and China were not close.
Britain is a latecomer to the Age of Discovery. What it is trying to do now is to seize trade and territory from other countries. It does not yet have much ability to manage Asia.
Of course, the UK is naturally very jealous of other countries making a lot of money from Chinese sweaters.
But the food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, the routes need to be opened up bit by bit, and the territory needs to be expanded bit by bit. The attack on China is not yet in the British plan at this time.
This means that not many people in the UK know much about China.
But no matter what, when the support came, Charles I's back immediately stiffened.
"Everyone, maybe we will be able to return to London soon and liquidate these troublemakers."
Some people were worried about his elation.
Not long after, the fleet slowly docked, and Marton Tropp, Liao Zhongjian, Xu Erjue, Kong Zhiguang and others waited for the shore together.
Charles I had been impatient for a long time and rushed forward without regard to the king's appearance.
"Thank you to our friends from the Netherlands and China for their friendship. I will definitely give you the most generous reward for your efforts."
Is this king so capable?
But when the talks actually took place, everyone discovered that this was not the case at all.
"Your Royal Highness, the aggressive business policies of the Parliament are harmful to the interests of the Netherlands and make us realize that they are not true friends. What do you think of the relationship between your two countries?"
Marton Tropp needed clear assurances from Charles I's lips.
But I don’t know whether Charles I was really confused or fake, and the answer he gave was completely irrelevant.
"When I return to London, I will definitely liquidate them completely."
Marton Tropp and De Ruyter looked at each other.
No one cares about the strife in your country. What we want is the interests of the Netherlands.
"Your Highness the King, the domestic situation in your country is closely related to past policies. I believe that after previous failures, Your Highness will be able to recognize the facts and make reasonable choices, right?"
Hearing that Liao Zhongjian questioned what he had done, King Charles I looked ugly.
"I am the king of England, Scotland and Ireland appointed by God, and I have absolute authority. Those traitors who disobey God's will must accept the cruelest punishment. As long as everyone obeys my orders, peace can be achieved in Britain. "
Everyone present looked grim.
