Two Realms: Don't call me evil!
Chapter 677 The New King Ascends the Throne
The sinking of the USS Roosevelt was like a signal, a symbol of the destruction of a fleet.
The warships of various countries that followed the USS Roosevelt into battle were all stunned. Of course, this did not include the British Empire, because their aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth had already fled.
Aircraft carriers are the core of the U.S. fleet. Now even the core has been destroyed, which has greatly hit the confidence and morale of the U.S. fleet.
But the JECO Group did not give these enemy ships a chance to breathe, and soon more biological plasma cannons bombarded them.
Even a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier cannot withstand the damage, so other warships will be no exception.
Every explosion of the biological plasma cannon is accompanied by the sinking of warships costing hundreds of millions of dollars, and countless crew members are buried at sea.
The three Devourer-class deep-diving cruisers also launched a large number of anti-ship missiles to finish off the Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group, which had already fallen into complete chaos, and hasten the enemy's demise.
Under such fierce bombardment, warships of the USS Roosevelt carrier battle group were destroyed one after another, and the number of warships decreased visibly.
Including the beautiful American fighter jets in the sky, they also understood that the situation was hopeless and they could not break through the dense and abnormal anti-aircraft firepower network of the Führer.
Continuing to fight would only mean dying in vain. The desperate spirit in their hearts was like a deflated ball, and these fighter planes chose to flee one after another.
But what made these beautiful American fighter pilots despair was that the Ryukyu Islands Air Force Base was carpet bombed by the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bombers, leaving them unable to return home.
Those carrier-based aircraft were even more miserable. They lost their homes. The USS Roosevelt was sunk and they were like a group of orphans, not knowing where to fly.
Many pilots ran out of fuel but could not find a place to make an emergency stop. They could only watch their planes run out of fuel and plunge into the sea.
The United States' fleet completely collapsed with the sinking of the USS Roosevelt, and most of the warships chose to turn around and retreat.
However, the range of the Sovereign battleship was far beyond their imagination. No matter how fast their battleships were, their speed was only a few dozen knots. Facing the biological plasma cannons that were dozens of times the speed of sound, this escape was completely futile.
This is just like the battleships in the past were powerless against aircraft carriers; being discovered was basically equivalent to being destroyed.
One by one, the frigates and destroyers of the Beautiful Country, the Sakura Country and South Korea were blasted into the sea by bio-plasma cannons.
The British aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, which escaped first, also could not escape the fate of death.
In order to cheer for the United States, the British Empire dispatched the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth and two destroyers. At this time, the two destroyers were successively blasted into scrap metal by biological plasma, leaving only the aircraft carrier itself helpless.
On the bridge of the Queen Elizabeth, Captain Ingram, wearing a neat military uniform and a neat military cap, holding his command sword, looked at the endless sea below. It seemed that through the vast sea, he could see the huge invincible battleship two hundred kilometers away.
"I never thought that battleships would have a glorious return one day, but it's a pity that the pioneer is no longer our Royal Navy."
Ingram looked depressed. In the days of the British Empire, the Royal Navy was synonymous with battleships, and they led the development of the battleship era.
From ironclad ships, pre-dreadnoughts to dreadnoughts, the British Empire created a brilliant record of battleship warfare with its huge ships and cannons, and one battleship after another.
The battleships that once sailed on the oceans were the pride of the British Empire.
But in the end, the battleship's dominant position was replaced by the aircraft carrier, and even the British Empire itself has completely abandoned this outdated antique.
Seeing the unprecedented super battleship rebuilt by the Jake Group once again subverting naval warfare, Ingram couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.
He was very envious and thought it would be great if such a battleship appeared in the British Empire.
Not to mention restoring the world's dominant position in the past era when the sun never sets, it can also greatly enhance the international status of the British Empire and lead the construction and development of warships around the world, just like the dreadnoughts that suddenly appeared in the past and set off a craze for large ships and big guns.
"Order, all soldiers on board abandon ship and open the sea valve."
After sighing, Ingram gave orders to his deputy, but he showed no signs of moving.
"Captain, what about you?"
The deputy already had a premonition that the Queen Elizabeth could not escape the punishment of the battleship, and now the only way to reduce casualties was to abandon the ship as soon as possible.
"I will stay with my ship until the end, and someone must be held responsible for this failure."
Ingram shook his head. He had no intention of leaving, nor did he have any intention of surrendering to the Jake Group.
Although everyone knows that they can survive by raising the white flag and surrendering to the Jeko Group, no one will do that.
Because they are the navy, and the navy is different from the army. Not only will they not surrender, even being captured is an unacceptable shame.
When armies fight, facing defeat, although surrender is a bit shameful, many armies will choose to raise the white flag, especially in Western society, where surrender is not a shameful thing.
Unlike the army and air force, the navy's greatest feature is that it is a unified whole.
The main combat force of an army on land is its soldiers. No matter how fierce the battle is, as long as the soldiers are there, the war can continue.
As long as there is one soldier alive in the army, the army is not considered to be wiped out and his battle flag can be hoisted.
The navy is different. Its main body is not officers and soldiers, but warships. The army is just the soul of the warships.
Once the commander-in-chief or captain of a naval fleet gives the order to lower the flag, it is not he himself who surrenders, but the warship or the entire fleet.
The primary attribute of a navy is that it is a sign of being a great power.
The navy serves not a regime or a king, but a nation. Even when the regime changes, the navy is often the least chaotic. They will be loyal to the new winner of the regime because it serves the country.
Therefore, once the navy surrenders, it is not just a matter of honor or disgrace for an individual or the army. It often determines the international status of the entire country, the success or failure of the country, and even the rise and fall of the entire nation. The surrender of the fleet means the surrender of the entire country, and once the backbone of a country and nation is bent, it is difficult to straighten it up again.
Unless the entire country surrenders or the supreme commander orders it to surrender, the fleet itself will not choose to surrender.
So far, there have been more than 20 large national fleets in the world, and without exception, none of them have a record of surrender.
Even when the warship was surrounded, lost its combat capability, and had all its ammunition and fuel exhausted, for most of the naval soldiers, it didn't matter whether they fled or died for their country. What was important was that the warship must not be captured, let alone surrender. They would basically choose to sink it themselves or blow it up to avoid being captured and falling into the hands of the enemy.
This is also Ingram's choice now. He represents the last face of the Royal Navy. He would rather sink to the sea than surrender.
"General, please take care."
The deputy's eyes reddened, and he bowed to Ingram, then he walked out of the bridge command room holding the ship's mascot cat and gently closed the door.
The Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier was in chaos, with sailors wearing orange life jackets and lifeboats everywhere, which were crowded with sailors. Many more sailors fell into the sea while escaping, and were swept further and further away by the waves. Most of them could only call for help in vain, and there was no time to rescue them.
The Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier has opened the sea valve and seawater is pouring into the cabin. If it can sink into the sea by itself, it will be a good ending for the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier.
But there are only a few perfect things in the world. The Queen Elizabeth wanted to leave in a dignified manner, but the Head of State did not agree.
Accompanied by another round of salvos from the battleship Sovereign, nine biological plasma cannons bombarded.
In the final moments, Ingram looked at the flames of the warship's explosion, and the only thing in his mind that he didn't have time to say was: "Beautiful country, you have caused us so much trouble!"
In an instant, the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier was hit by three biological plasma cannons. The 65000-ton aircraft carrier did not struggle for long before it broke into two sections and disappeared into the sea.
The same was true for other warships. In the face of absolute strength, any struggle to escape was futile. More warships chose to desperately launch all their anti-ship missiles at the Führer, hoping for a miracle.
But the reason why a miracle is called a miracle is that it means the chances are slim, and the power of the Sovereign cannot be shaken by their dying struggle.
One battleship after another sank into the sea, establishing the reputation of the Führer.
Until all the warships in the USS Roosevelt carrier battle group either sank into the sea or were in the process of sinking.
Finally, when the last resisting warship of the USS Roosevelt carrier battle group fell silent, the smoke of war in the Ryukyu Sea subsided slightly.
However, the battle of the USS Sovereign was not over yet, because it had already set its sights on two other American aircraft carriers, the USS Washington and the USS Carl Vinson.
Both aircraft carriers received news of reinforcements from the USS Roosevelt and rushed to provide support.
Among them, the USS Carl Vinson was 700 kilometers away from the USS Sovereign and launched dozens of carrier-based aircraft.
As a result, as soon as the carrier-based aircraft arrived at the battlefield, they heard the news that the USS Roosevelt had sunk and their own fleet had suffered a great defeat.
Dozens of carrier-based aircraft from the USS Carl Vinson were quickly intercepted by the anti-aircraft firepower of the USS Sovereign and three Devourer-class cruisers, causing extremely heavy losses.
The appearance of this batch of carrier-based aircraft also invisibly exposed the location of the USS Carl Vinson.
This aircraft carrier must be no more than one thousand kilometers away from the Führer, because if it is larger, it will exceed the combat radius of the aircraft carrier.
The satellites and sea-search biological radars of the Jeko Group worked at full capacity, and together with the early warning aircraft modified from the Luanfeng aerospace strategic bomber, they found the specific location of the USS Carl Vinson through a search of the general sea area after a short while, and unexpectedly found the location of the USS Washington, which was farther away.
Seven hundred kilometers away, the Führer opened fire on the Carl Vinson, out of range of most anti-ship missiles.
The accuracy of the Führer's artillery fire, which was a little further away, decreased. The plasma shells were affected by the air and only hit the target in the third salvo. However, the powerful force of the plasma shells was enough to make up for it.
When the bioplasma shell exploded on the USS Carl Vinson, it directly melted a hole with a diameter of nearly 20 meters in the deck of the aircraft carrier, making the remaining fighter jets on the carrier unable to take off and land.
Then in the fourth and fifth rounds, as the biological radar corrected the bombardment, the Führer's bombardment became more accurate and achieved multiple hits in succession.
The USS Carl Vinson was engulfed in flames. The high-grade aviation fuel tank that supplied the carrier-based aircraft was hit. The fire spread to every part of the ship along with the flowing fuel. Many soldiers were set on fire and turned into firemen. They ran around howling and jumped into the sea.
By the time the Sovereign finished its seventh salvo, the Carl Vinson was completely overwhelmed and sank into the sea, burning with flames. The flames did not completely extinguish until they entered the sea water. From a distance, it looked like a flaming palace floating towards the bottom of the sea, which was a spectacular sight.
When the USS Washington and its escort warships saw that the situation was not good, they turned around and fled early.
Finally, it was about 1300 kilometers away from the Sovereign, and was hit by multiple salvos from the Sovereign's bioplasma cannon. The front deck was hit by one bullet. The hull was emitting billowing black smoke, but the ship managed to escape by chance.
This is also a way for the Sovereign to save ammunition. The results achieved in this battle are already brilliant enough. After all, such rounds of bombardment will consume a lot of spiritual stone energy for the Sovereign.
It can be sunk, but it is not necessary.
When the last roar of the 600mm naval gun dissipated in the sea, the naval battle in the Ryukyu Sea also came to an end.
Looking around, the sea was in a mess amid the smoke.
The leaked fuel dyed the sea water red, and the raging flames jumped on the waves, being swallowed up by the waves.
Sunken warships can be seen everywhere, some with their hulls half submerged in water, their proud masts slanting out on the sea.
Some of the ships were turned upside down, like dead fish with their bellies turned upside down, and were sunk into the sea by torpedoes fired by the Devourer Cruiser.
Some of the ships were burned into empty shells by the fire. The hulls were as black as ink and drifted with the current like ghost ships.
The waves gently brushed over the wreckage of warships. Seagulls circled around the dead bodies and wreckage of warships floating on the sea, making rustling sounds, as if they were crying for these giant steel ships.
There were some surviving soldiers who were rescued by the Devourer Cruiser. They stood on the deck with empty eyes, looking at their sinking ship. Many of them burst into tears.
At this point, in the battle in the Ryukyu Sea, the Jeko Group defeated the naval fleet led by the United States in one fell swoop, and sank the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers USS Roosevelt and USS Carl Vinson, severely damaged the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Washington, and also sank a Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser and five Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
Four helicopter carriers, 4 destroyers, 24 frigates and four conventional submarines of the Sakura Country were sunk.
Eight South Korean destroyers and frigates were sunk, and the British aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth and two destroyers were sunk.
The total tonnage of warships sunk exceeded 50 tons, and 211 fighter planes were shot down, which was an extremely glorious victory.
After this battle, the United States completely lost its sea control in the Western Pacific, and its surface warships were no longer useful.
As the sun began to set, its afterglow cast a shadow over the sea, illuminating the burning warships like a dream.
The battleship Führer sailed through the sea breeze carrying gunpowder smoke and the salty smell, blew its horn for a long time to pay tribute to the deceased, and then the fleet turned around and slowly sank into the sea.
However, before leaving, they had sent a victory radio message to the Führer to report the good news. They did not disappoint the Führer's high hopes.
But for the United States and its allies, it is endless bad news.
With the end of the naval battle in the Ryukyu Sea, the news spread like wildfire to every corner of the world.
The United States is shocked and angry, the European Union is shocked, and the Sakura Country is trembling.
When a news article titled "A new king of the Pacific Ocean ascends the throne, the JEC Group has the potential to become the world's ocean overlord" was published in the New York Times.
At this moment, the whole world was in deafening silence. (End of this chapter)
