The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 121: Hero's End Two

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

"My generation is fighting to the end. The ship sinks and the people die!" Yang Yonglin's answer was very simple, vowing to die. In history, Yang Yonglin finally ended his life with a bullet, and this time, the road he arranged for himself will take. More decent and 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 future for development. And you may not be in the Qing Dynasty. Will die well." Hipper said seriously.

   "A wider stage? Ha ha, those who are defeated are brave enough to speak up? The ship is there, and the ship is dead." Yang Yonglin smiled bitterly.

"Go to Germany, our prince admires officers like you very much, and if you agree, you and your men will be protected by the German government after the battle is over. And your family, and even your future The road, His Royal Highness has arranged, you can go to Keele Naval Academy to teach. Your level and record are completely worthy of this position."

   Ruprecht admires heroes very much, and if he can do his best, he can help arrange a back path. So before leaving, Ruprecht had already told Hipper of his thoughts. After all, the latter was from Bavaria, so let him do it more easily. As comrades who have been fighting together for so long, after gnawing on 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 to the last minute! The glory of driving the Yuan is bound to be maintained! But after the battle, I hope you can 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 the palace as a guest." Finally, Hipper said sincerely.

   "Yang Guandai is the Japanese fleet!" When Yang Yonglin was about to refuse Hipper again, an officer pointed to the smoke column that gradually became clear in the distance and said loudly.

   "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 types of these warships.

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

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

   "The fleet is ready to engage!" At the last moment, the Kaiyuan somewhat hobbled a U-shaped course on the sea. Since it can't escape, let's face it! "The battleship concentrated all its firepower to attack the Chiyoda!" Even in the losing battle, Yang Yonglin still made the most sensible and correct choice!

  If the Kaiyuan could sink an opponent's battleship in the end! Then it can only be Chiyoda! Don’t even think about the Kasuga. The Kaiyuan, which is now yellow-blooded and only 1/3 blue, may not have played the blood-filled Kasuga. Takasago seems to be a delicious target, but it’s too agile. And the output is also very strong, the protection of the core compartment is also good. At least you can run if you can't beat it. 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 if the situation is not good.

   But Chiyoda is different! This ship is the smallest tonnage! Only about 2400 tons! In other words, it is the shortest health bar! Although it is known as an armored cruiser, the defensive power of this warship can only be described as huh! Basically, there is no problem of not being able to penetrate! The most important thing is that there is a problem with the ship's power system! Perhaps the price given by the Japanese was too low, even the British couldn’t stand it anymore, so they secretly replaced the boilers for warships with train boilers, and among the four warships, Chiyoda had the longest age. ! The state is also the worst! At this time, who do you not beat?

"Come!" Huashan Ziji personally commanded on the Kasuga. When watching the scarred Kaiyuan, like the Nordic gods at the dusk of the gods, walk towards its final destiny, Huashan Ziji couldn't remember. Don't say a word of service! "Order the fleet to fire a 21-gun salute!" The 21-gun salute is almost the treatment of a head of state! Although the Japanese are brutal, there are also people who respect true warriors.

   The 6-pounder cannons of the 4 warships served as salutes in this special "concierge" mission. Although messy, but still solemn in this atmosphere of solemnity. At this time, Huashan Ziji can already claim that he is a winner. The other party has run out of oil, and may not even have enough artillery shells~lightnovelpub.net~The champagne to celebrate the victory can already be put on the table, but At this moment he hesitated!

"We can persuade to surrender, and then capture this warship, and I can guarantee the rights of the captured on behalf of the British Navy. I think your country should not make sense for this, right?" Colonel Ingles, who was travelling with the ship, suggested, facing This suggestion, Huashan Ziji is really moved!

   Although the record of the battleship "Super God" in front of you is brushed out on the Japanese! At least the lives and deaths of nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers are directly or indirectly related to it. But this is really a good ship! Especially in the face of the Japanese Navy in this situation, one more warship has an incalculable value.

   "They will not surrender. To make such a request for such a warrior is simply an insult to the warrior and an insult to our IQ!" Kasuga Captain Hirai Hirozo shook his head and said.

The captain was right. Yang Yonglin and others are not fools. They should know the ending after the last battle. If they want to survive, they can simply drive the ship to a neutral port, and then decently release it. Armed awaiting the end of the war. But they didn't! This battleship continues to bite the Japanese transportation line like a crazy dragon! Until yesterday! This blood vessel that maintains the Japanese army front is still bleeding!

   "But there are Germans on it! They have no reason to fight to the end for the Qing country!" Ingels said.

"Okay, don't worry about this. No matter what the Germans think, this warship has already made a decision! He decided to fight to the end! We should respect their choice!" At this time, the flag of engagement on the Kaiyuan, which was about to receive the enemy, was already rising! Huashan Ziji eliminates all distractions and prepares for the final battle of this war!

   The second is more~~~, ask for Sanjiang ticket~~~, ask for collection~~~.
