Chapter 650 Good news from afar

"Huh..." Seeing the enemy ship that was close at hand was smashed into a ball of explosive fireworks by shells, Bernard let out a sigh of relief.

He finally held the victory in his hands, and with a great victory that was almost one-sided, ended the shame of the Navy's participation in the war for several months without firing a single shot.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that his palms were covered with sweat, and even the sweat on his head had soaked the lining of the big-brimmed hat.

Moving slightly slowly, he raised his hand and took off his hat, then looked at his adjutant: "We have won."

"Yes, sir! I think we have won a complete victory." The adjutant smiled and said to Bernard: "We did it. We wiped out all four of the enemy's main warships!"

"General! The cruiser fleet received a call, and the enemy cruisers and destroyers fled in all directions. Should our army continue to pursue them?" The officer in charge of communications came over and handed over a message.

"No need, organize the formation! Cover the wounded warship to leave the battle zone!" Bernard took the telegram and gave the order.

With a sigh of relief, he was obviously much more relaxed, and his speech was not so tense. The whole bridge was filled with the joy of victory. After all, this was the first time they had won a real victory since they formed the battleship fleet.

"When East Bay No. 1 went to Mirage to intimidate the goblins, they should know that we are not easy to mess with!" Bernard put on his big-brimmed hat again and said solemnly.

"Oh!" There was a burst of cheers from the bridge.

"Okay! Such good news must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible! Send a telegram... All four main battleships of the enemy will be wiped out, and none of them will slip through the net!" Bernard said to the telegraph officer in a good mood.

"Yes! Your Excellency, General! Congratulations!" The officer stood at attention and saluted, and went out to carry out his mission.

Everyone felt that this kind of good news should be told to His Majesty the King who was thousands of miles away earlier, so that the generals waiting for the news over there would hurry up and be happy.

Soon, Tang Mo, who was in a meeting with the generals in Anpu's frontline headquarters, received a telegram that Bernard had won a complete victory.

When the officer delivered the message to Tang Mo, Tang Mo stood up and loudly announced the navy's victory: "Gentlemen! Bernard wiped out all four battleships of the Phantom Navy, and we won!"

"Long live His Majesty the King!" All the generals stood up and saluted Tang Mo, congratulating this brilliant victory.

"The navy has cut off the enemy's sea line of communication, and we have taken control of the sea! The mirage army in Beiyuan City has become a turtle in a urn." Tang Mo continued to happily say: "Next, it's up to us!"

"Those mirage people, you can't let them go easily!" A general said: "Although they persecuted Qi people, those Qi people who died will be your people in the future! If mirage people do this, we The most severe revenge must be carried out!"

"That's right! Your Majesty! We must emphasize our legitimacy. The subjects of Qi are also your subjects! We can't ignore it!" Nangong Hong also said.

Tang Mo nodded, pressed his hands down, and calmed the venue again: "I understand! I understand! All mirage goblins in Beiyuan City will be executed! If Mirage wants to make peace, then Another 30 laborers and compensation must be paid!"

Hearing this decision, Parker, who is presiding over the construction of a large number of emerging industrial zones, hesitated to speak. He really didn't want to waste the mirage labor in Beiyuan City.

Although these people deserved to die, Parker didn't think these goblins should be pardoned, but he felt that it was more cost-effective to let these goblins die of exhaustion and starvation on the construction site than to kill them all on the battlefield.

"I know what you're thinking, but these demons whose hands are soaked in blood can no longer be used. They have lost their qualifications to be human, and they will not be domesticated. Killing is the safest way. The labor you need is mine It will be made up with follow-up goblin workers." Tang Mo saw Parker's entanglement, and explained to him.

……

"We're done!" Received a telegram from China, Mibu Saburo fell down on the chair, muttered with a pale face.

Mian Wenxi, who was always by his side, snatched the telegram, and then carefully read the content on it.Then his face became ugly, and he also slumped on the chair next to him.

They once imagined that the Tang army's fleet would be defeated, that they would be able to regain control of the sea, and at the same time resume transportation and reinforcements to Beiyuan City.

At least they can continue to reinforce Beiyuan City, at least they can transport enough shells so that they can withstand the increasingly fierce attack of the Tang army.

Unfortunately, all this can only be imagined in a dream.The environment they live in now is even worse than before.

If they were only cut off from most of their supplies before, now they have completely cut off their transportation routes.

What does this mean?This means that even if they are willing to take the risk of returning to Mirage by ship, there is a high probability that they will be intercepted and sunk by enemy ships halfway.

They can't go back, unless the war is over now, unless their motherland Mirage can negotiate peace with Tang and quickly end the warring relationship between the two countries, then they will have a chance to return to China.

But this can only be their fantasy, because the conditions offered by Tang State are really unacceptable, so the war has continued until now.

"We're done." Mirage Xi muttered in disbelief: They were indeed very passive, because just now, another outer defensive position was lost!

It was a very important defensive position, and Mirage had dug an underground ammunition depot there before to store ammunition.

But the ammunition there was emptied by the defenders yesterday, and the Mirage army, which ran out of ammunition, had to retreat back into the city, abandoning the strong fortresses and trenches there.

What makes people desperate is that nearly 20 mirage soldiers are trapped in the city, lacking ammunition and heavy weapons support, so they can only start street fighting with the Tang army.

But the Tang army didn't seem to be interested in street fighting. They just captured some of the outer blocks and rescued a group of Qi people, and they never launched a large-scale attack.

With the war now in its present state, Saburo Mitake no longer had any hope of victory.What he fantasizes now is to stick to it until the time when Tang wants to make peace.

"I knew those bastards in the navy were unreliable! They wasted so much money and failed! If so much money was given to our army, we would have won the war long ago!" The more I thought about it, the more I felt. The aggrieved Saburo mirage clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table.

You must know that each of those expensive steel-built warships is not cheap, and Mirage has paid almost all the price to accumulate such a scale with great difficulty.

As a result, it only took one day, one day!These fleets, which took more than two years to accumulate, were wiped out in just one morning!
If the money is given to the army, how many cannons are there?How many tanks?How many cars and how many machine guns?How many divisions and how many regiments can be formed?

With so many troops, even if the enemy kills them, it will take a month, or even several months, right?It turned out that the navy was lucky and lost so many bets in one morning!

"There are not so many warships in the navy, how can we defend our country's borders?" Mirage Wenxi shook her head. For an island country, the navy will always be the priority force for development, and this is impossible to change.

This is also the tragedy of an island country: once the navy loses, it means that they have lost all their wealth, and there is no way to continue to persist.

Therefore, Mian Wenxi could see it clearly: "For us, it may not be a good thing for the Navy to lose so thoroughly."

"Huh?" Mirage Saburo looked at the other party, and clarified his question with a long tone.

Mirage Wenxi continued to explain: "If the navy loses, His Majesty the King will not continue to insist on this war. Soon we will start peace talks with Tang. As long as we hold on, we have the hope of returning home safely!"

"You're right! It's very possible that we can go back as heroes!" Mirage Saburo said excitedly: "Although Tang Guo said that he would punish war criminals, as long as he casually pushes out a few scapegoats, that's enough..."

"That's right!" Yan Wenxi smiled: "I hope that we, and the soldiers who fought bravely for the kingdom here, can all go back!"

Mirage Saburo nodded, swept away the decadence just now, and rekindled hope: "That's right! Beiyuan City is a good bargaining chip! As long as we hold on, the Tang people want it, so we must show sincerity! Hahaha!"

……

In the mirage base camp, the generals of the mirage navy sat on both sides of the long table dumbfounded, waiting for the absent His Majesty the King.

Everyone has already heard the news that the battleships made by Cyric were no match for the battleships of the Tang Army, which directly led to the disastrous defeat of the Phantom Navy.

Cyric's adviser's face was dull, because he had just heard that during the decisive battle, the main gun produced by Cyric exploded, and an accident occurred, which seriously affected the battle situation.

Facts have proved that the Cyric battleship they created by Cyric imitating cats and tigers was a complete failure.Armor protection cannot defend against the shells fired by the Tang army's artillery, and the speed is slower than the opponent's, so it cannot be hit or run away.

These are all the contents of the last telegram sent back by Mirage One Man. Cyric's advisers feel that these are the words of Mirage One Man's incompetence and put all the responsibility on Cyric.

But the idiot also knows that if what Kazuo Mirage said is all false, and Cyric's battleship is indeed very strong, as they claim, it has overwhelmed the Tang army's battleship, then the result must not be what it is today...
