Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1160

[Chapter 1147 The End of the Sunset]

Tulip Palace.

Victoria covered her ears in pain, and the explosion from the port pierced her heart like a knife.

The dignity of the Empire on which the sun never sets was lost in the artillery fire of the Eastern Empire, and all this was because of her original self-righteous determination.

She thought her little cleverness would bring practical technological benefits to Britain, but now she has brought destruction to Britain.

“Your Majesty, we must evacuate from London. The imperial army may land at any time. It is no longer safe here. Many nobles have already left.” Murphy advised.

Victoria looked sad, but her tone was very firm. She said: “No, I will not leave the Tulip Palace, nor will I leave London. It was I who brought Britain into ruin. How can I escape alone now?”

“Your Majesty, this is not your fault. Sooner or later there will be a battle between us and the empire, it’s just a matter of time.” Murphy said.

“You don’t have to say anymore. I have already made my own decision. You should go to Tsarist Russia to form the British interim government. If the British mainland cannot hold on, at least we still have hope.” Vidomia said firmly.

Murphy shook his head and said: “If His Majesty falls into the hands of the empire, this will make all British people despair. You should go to Tsarist Russia to take refuge than us.”

After that, Murphy told Butlin nodded.

Buterin understood and led his soldiers to forcibly lift Vidomia up. He said: “Your Majesty, the ship to Tsarist Russia is ready. I’m sorry.”

Vidomia struggled hard, but she couldn’t break free at all. The soldiers could only angrily accuse Murphy and Buterin.

But the two of them remained unmoved and still let the soldiers take her away by force.

After watching Victoria being taken into the carriage and heading north, Murphy and Buterin left the Tulip Palace and headed for the port.

On the sea outside the port, the imperial fleet was still bombarding the port. The once prosperous Port of London was basically in ruins under the gunfire.

But at this time, in the south, north, and east of the imperial fleet, the British Royal Navy consisting of more than 200 warships was slowly approaching.

They lined up in a neat queue, the British flag fluttered in the sea breeze, and a C-shaped encirclement had been formed.

On the sea.

Liu Chen was deploying combat missions via radio. This time they broke into London grandly and did not regard the British Royal Navy as a threat at all.

Many naval battles have proven that the imperial steel battleships have an absolute advantage over the sail battleships. In addition to the armor protection of the battleships, the speed and rotating artillery of the steel battleships are also unmatched by the sail battleships.

And now radio communication command has integrated the combat effectiveness of battleships.

So Liu Chen and Xie Yuan didn’t care at all about being surrounded by the British Royal Navy.

“They are really a group of people who don’t know how to live or die.” Liu Chen said as he looked at the approaching sail warship.

Xie Yuan had investigated the British Navy before coming. He said: “The British Navy has a good fighting will in Europe. It is not surprising that they dare to risk their lives to fight with us. But now that they are here, we will directly Let’s destroy them. “

“Okay, let’s destroy them together.” Liu Chen laughed three times, and then he turned the King-class ironclad directly towards the British Royal Navy fleet.

Xie Yuan nodded. He and Liu Chen discussed it and divided the fleet into three parts, each dealing with British warships coming from three directions.

The order was issued, and the sixty-eight steel warships heading for Britain turned around, leaving arc-shaped wakes on the sea.

In the Port of London, after the imperial warships turned around, British people hiding in the fortifications kept showing their heads. This was when they turned their attention to the sea.

Butlin and Murphy, like everyone else, looked nervously at the sea. Although they knew that the chance of victory was slim, they still held on to pitiful hope.

After all, the number of the British Navy is three times that of the Imperial Navy. If they are lucky enough to win, the British crisis will be resolved this time, and the British prestige will be further enhanced in Europe. If possible, they may even capture many steel battleships.

This gambler’s mentality filled the hearts of the British at this moment. At this moment, no one spoke, they looked at the battlefield silently and nervously.

As they watched, the King-class ironclad ship Liu Chen and Xie Yuan were on led more than twenty steel warships to first attack the fleet of ninety warships on the south side.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sail warship can only bombard from both sides, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan used the speed of the warship to successfully seize the “T” position for bombardment.

Under the cannon bombardment of twenty battleships, the British sailing battleship suffered heavy losses in an instant. Facing the empire’s metal cannonballs, the wooden sailing battleship would basically be scrapped if hit by a single shell.

However, the British’s immature bombs often left only a few traces on imperial warships.

The outcome of the war was doomed as soon as the war began. Each sailing battleship exploded, burned, and became silent, while the imperial battleships remained unscathed.

In just one hour, the fleet Liu Chen and Xie Yuan faced had only about twenty warships left.

At this time, Liu Chen said to Xie Yuan: “Now let us leave an indelible memory for the British. The King is ordered to ram the enemy ship!”

Xie Yuan showed an evil smile, and he said through the radio: “All warships are ordered to ram Enemy ship!”

Under the orders of the two men, the imperial warships immediately turned on full power, increased their speed to the maximum, and rushed towards the British warships that were still struggling at sea.

Facing the steel battleship that the empire directly hit, the British soldiers on the remaining battleship were filled with deep fear.

“God, they must be demons!”

The soldiers’ will collapsed and they screamed and jumped into the sea to survive.

At the same time, thousands of British people in the port collapsed. Many of them were covering their eyes and crying bitterly, and could not bear to see the horrors on the battlefield again.

Once they defeated the Dutch fleet in front of the Dutch at home. The Dutch watching the battle on the shore were heartbroken, but the scene now is so similar.

“There is no hope.” Murphy’s eyes were full of despair. The British navy was finished, and Britain was finished.

Buterin comforted: “We have lost the navy, but we still have the army. We must have confidence.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a heavy impact on the sea. In front of them, the British sailing warship was hit by the imperial warship. Two cuts.

At the same time, the battle situation on the north and west sides was equally miserable. In the afterglow of the setting sun, more than 200 British warships sank in the red sun and fierce flames.

Strong winds roared across the sea. To British ears, this seemed to be the last lament of the British navy.
