German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 93 The Long-lost Sea Victory

"You made the most correct decision in this war."

Karl looked at the surprised eyes of the enemy officer and said lightly.

"You are an excellent unit, and I hope you can report to the higher authorities that we have surrendered."

The Kalemler's command system had been broken long ago, and several large holes were scalded on the wooden deck. The flying incendiary spells had a high hit rate because they were not intercepted by the aviation wizards.

The captain and the first officer had already died in battle, and only he, the second officer, was left barely in command.

"Report the situation here to avoid being attacked by friendly fire."

Karl turned to Amy and said that the fleet of the German Empire was very close at this time. If there is a round of shelling later, although it is a bit wronged, the 1033 Squadron who is still on board is even more wronged.

Soon there was a reply from above, asking Karl's 1033 squadron to ensure the ownership of the battleship.That is to say, when the ship is handed over to Germany, it must maintain the best integrity.

Karl ordered the colonel to shut down the power system of the Kalymle, and then asked everyone in the cabin to gather on the deck and wait to be captured.

Due to the death and missing of some people in the previous battle, but now there are more than 800 crew members, and the entire deck is full. Karl took the lead in riding the vehicle and ran into the air.

The other 1033 team members also took off, and only then did they have their own space for activities.

At this time, a brigade of aviation mages had already arrived in the sky. When they learned that this 1033 squadron had captured a battleship alive, even if it was a somewhat damaged battleship, it was not a few times in the history of war.

A brigade and a squadron in the sky made the Franks on the ship calm. After the cruiser approached, the marines boarded the Kalemle one after another with guns.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, you have just received an order to return to your mothership for rest."

Carl was talking to several naval officers, and Amy came over, very formal.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm glad to be able to fight with you, and we will talk again next time, so farewell."

Karl saluted after a long absence, then turned around and ordered his squadron to return immediately.This battle has nothing to do with the 1033 Squadron, and I believe it will come to an end soon.

In the early morning of February 1914, 2, as Admiral Bell led the fleet to break through the submarine encirclement and enter the Strait of Calais, the German fleet stopped pursuing, which marked the official end of the Heligoland naval battle.

For the final result, the whole of Europe was shocked. After all, Germany did not suffer once or twice in naval battles, but this time it sank two battleships, four cruisers, 22 destroyers, two submarines and Seven supply ships.

21 Frankish ships including battleships were severely damaged.

The loss of the German side was only the sinking of two cruisers, nine destroyers and three submarines.Two battleships and seven cruisers were damaged.

Moreover, a squadron of aviation wizards captured a battleship, the Kalymler.

The German navy has shown confidence, and the Kalemle is [-]% repaired and repaired, and the army that already lacks battleships has gained more strength.For this reason, the German Navy also specially published a newspaper to thank the Frankish Navy for its generosity.

The Franks, who were very angry at this disgusting attitude, decided to fight back fiercely in the war on the Western Front.As a result, a wave of large-scale offensives had just been launched, but were quickly blocked by the German army.

The number of casualties and condolences have skyrocketed in a short period of time, which is gratifying.

"Really, Captain Carl, I don't know how to praise you anymore, your department's heroic deeds, please forgive my lack of words. You made a wise decision, and you created it through your excellent command ability. opportunity."

As soon as he returned to Heligoland, Lieutenant General Jeff called Karl to his office enthusiastically, and hugged the little guy fiercely as soon as he entered the door.

"It's a pity that you have made such a feat again, and the guys from the Central Army will not let go."

"Your lieutenant general is too polite. This is what I and the 1033 squadron I lead should do. Thank you for your compliment." Carl said a little flattered.

"Haha, you have successfully allowed our naval force to have the sixth battleship. You don't need to be humble. Whether it is a land battle or a naval battle, your reputation, Karl, has already started on Frank's side."

Lieutenant General Jeff said with a smile, then poured two glasses of red wine and handed one of them to Karl.

"I've disappointed you, Lieutenant General. I'm not of legal drinking age yet." Karl declined with embarrassment.

"Oh, hey, I'm so happy that I forgot, but I don't have juice here, so I can only wrong you." Jeff patted his head happily. A veteran who has fought for many years, countless battles at sea Let him be annoyed silently, and today he is finally elated.

"Then I can replace the bar with water, is that okay?"

Carl pointed to the kettle beside him.

"of course."

Lieutenant General Jeff picked up a new wine glass and filled it with the jug.

"Cheers to this victory."

Lieutenant General Jeff raised his wine glass high, and then drank the red wine inside.

"Cheers to this victory."

Carl also raised his glass and took a sip.

"Although I have been rejected several times, I, Jeff, still sincerely invite you. If you come to the navy, with your record, I can even immediately promote you to the rank of major captain." Jeff said to this little guy I like it more and more, but it's a pity that there is no way to win it over.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but after all, I entered the Central Army first, and I hope you understand." Carl declined with a smile.

"It seems that we need to win over the Non-commissioned Officer Academy more, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit outstanding talents." Jeff made a small joke, but his disappointment was palpable.

Although he disobeyed orders in the Battle of Helgeland, the results showed that his decision-making and commanding abilities were excellent. Without the opportunities created by the 1033 Squadron, the battle would not have ended so early.

A little hero with perfect conditions and a good personality, and an excellent aviation mage, is extremely sought-after wherever he is placed, let alone a naval force that is already short of manpower.

"Okay, but I'm going to fly back to the naval headquarters in Hamburg soon. As a lieutenant general, I will also be involved in the rewards after this battle. But as a naval force, I can't promote your rank and position , but I can apply for medals and bonuses, I hope you will forgive me."

Jeff finished speaking very pertinently. He said what he had to say, and he didn't make a big deal. This is a good leader.

However, as Jeff said, as a navy, Carl, who is an army, cannot be awarded or transferred. He and his 1033 squadron are both affiliated to the Central Army, and no matter how much you appreciate it, you cannot be promoted across arms.

"Excuse me, I think the Central Army will consider giving me relevant rewards. You, as a navy, may cause you a little trouble if you apply for me." Carl smiled, but he didn't really care about the promotion.

After all, it has only been two months since he got the rank of captain. Although his record is worthy of further promotion, from the perspective of others, it seems a bit like a back door.
