Chapter 1150: The End of the Sunset
Tulip Palace.
Vidomia clutched her ears in pain, and the sound of explosions from the harbor stabbed her heart like knives.
The dignity of the empire on which the sun never sets was wiped out in the artillery fire of the Eastern Empire, and all because of her self-righteous determination at the beginning.
She thought that 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 Empire's troops may land at any time, it is no longer safe here, and many nobles have left." Murphy persuaded.
Vidomia looked sad, but her tone was very firm, and she said: "No, I will not leave the Tulip Palace, nor will I leave London, it is I who brought England into ruin, how can I escape alone now?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not your fault, there will be a war between us and the Empire sooner or later, it's just a matter of time." Murphy said.
"You don't have to say it again, I have already made my own decision, you should go to Tsarist Russia to form a British provisional government, if Britain itself can't hold on, at least we have to leave hope." Vidomia spoke firmly.
Murphy shook his head, and he said, "If Your Majesty falls into the hands of the Empire, this is what makes all the British people despair, and you should take refuge in Tsarist Russia more than us." “
With that, Murphy nodded to Buterin.
Buterin understood, and with his soldiers, he forcibly erected Vidomia, and he said: "Your Majesty, the ships to Tsarist Russia are ready, I'm sorry. “
Vidomia struggled hard, but she couldn't break free from the soldiers, and could only angrily blame Murphy and Buterin.
It's just that the two of them were unmoved, and still let the soldiers forcibly take her away.
Seeing Vidomia being taken into a carriage and heading north, Murphy and Buterin left the Tulip Palace and headed for the harbor.
Outside the harbor, the Imperial fleet was still shelling the harbor, and the once-bustling port of London was largely in ruins under fire.
However, at this time, in the south, north, and east of the Imperial fleet, the British Royal Navy, composed of more than 200 warships, slowly approached.
They were lined up in a neat queue, the British flag fluttered in the sea breeze, and a C-shaped encirclement was formed.
On the sea.
Liu Chen was deploying a combat mission by radio, and this time they broke into London without considering the British Royal Navy as a threat.
In addition to the armor protection of the battleship, the speed and rotating guns of the steel battleship are also incomparable to the sail battleship.
And now the radio communication command is even more integrated with the combat effectiveness of the battleship.
So Liu Chen and Xie Yuan didn't care about being surrounded by the British Royal Navy at all.
"It's a bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die." Liu Chen said as he looked at the approaching sail battleship.
Before coming, Xie Yuan had investigated the British Navy, and he said: "In Europe, the British Navy's will to fight is still good, and it is not surprising that they dare to risk their lives to start a war with us, but since they are here, we will bury them directly." “
"Okay, let's destroy them together." Liu Chen laughed three times, and then he directly asked the King-class ironclad ship to turn towards the fleet of the British Royal Navy.
Xie Yuan nodded, he discussed with Liu Chen, and divided the fleet into three parts, each dealing with British warships from three directions.
The order was given, and the sixty-eight steel warships bound for Britain turned one after another, leaving an arc-shaped wake on the sea.
In the port of London, after the Imperial warships turned one after another, the British hiding in the fortifications kept showing their heads, and it was they who set their eyes on the sea.
Buterin and Murphy looked nervously at the sea, knowing that their chances of victory were slim, but they still had a pitiful hope.
After all, the British navy was three times as large as the Imperial navy in numbers, and if they were lucky enough to win, the British crisis would be lifted, and Britain's prestige would be further enhanced in Europe, and if possible, they might even capture a lot of steel warships.
This gambler's psychology at the moment filled the hearts of the British, and at this moment, no one spoke, they looked at the battlefield in silence and nervousness.
And under their gaze, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan's King-class ironclad ship led more than twenty steel warships to attack the fleet of ninety warships on the south side first.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sail battleship could only shell from both sides, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan used the speed of the battleship to always seize the "T" position for shelling.
Under the cannon bombardment of twenty warships, the British sail battleships suffered heavy losses in an instant, and in the face of the metal shells of the Empire, the wooden sail battleships were basically scrapped if they were hit by a single shell.
The immature flowering bullets of the British often left only a trace on the Imperial warships.
As soon as the war began, the outcome of the war was doomed, one after another sail battleships exploded, burned, and fell silent, while the imperial warships were unscathed.
In just one hour, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan faced a fleet of more than twenty warships.
At this time, Liu Chen said to Xie Yuan: "Now let's leave a little indelible memory for the British, the King, ordered to ram the enemy ship!" ”
Xie Yuan showed an evil smile, and he said over the radio: "All battleships are ordered to ram the enemy ships!" ”
Under the orders of the two, the Imperial warship suddenly opened up at full speed, increased its speed to the maximum, and rushed towards the British warship that was still struggling at sea.
Faced with the steel battleship that the Empire directly collided with, the British soldiers on the remaining battleship were occupied by 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 Britons in the port collapsed, many of whom were already covering their eyes and weeping bitterly, unable to bear to look at the tragic situation on the battlefield again.
They had defeated the Dutch fleet in front of the Dutch in front of the Dutch, and the Dutch were grief-stricken when they were watching the battle from the shore, and the scene was similar now.
"There's no hope." With a deep despair in Murphy's eyes, Britain's navy is finished, Britain is finished.
Buterin comforted: "Having lost the navy, we still have the army, so we have to have faith." “
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a heavy crash on the sea, and in front of them, the British sail warship was smashed in two by the Imperial warship.
At the same time, the battle on the north and west sides was equally miserable, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, more than 200 British warships sank in the red sun and flames.
The wind howled across the sea, and to the ears of the British, it seemed to be the last sad song of the British Navy.
