"You still dare to come out?" Looking at the London, which was spewing tongues of fire at the Fatiq outside the port, Al Barsha couldn't help but be happy. Originally, Al Barsha planned to blow up the oil depot and freight yard and then flash people, but who would have thought that this former intrepid would dare to come out to find trouble for himself? At this time, Selim I was only about 10KM away from London, and it was too easy for him to hit such a close target.

The London also seemed to know that his dick was of little use to the thick-skinned Selim I, so he focused all his firepower on the armored cruiser Fatik. I have to say that the power of the 12-inch 45L main gun is still good in the face of patrolling, and the old Krupp armor is still not good in the face of cap-piercing shells at close range, and a shell accurately knocked on the side armor of the Fatik, cutting the armor like butter, and then a bright yellow flame burst from the side of the Fatik, and the whole battleship seemed to be shocked by a huge explosion. Facing this guy who dares to bully his little brother...... Al Barsha naturally will not be polite, 9 14-inch guns turned their muzzles and aimed at this dreadnought ship 10KM away!

At such a distance, with a new fire control system. Selim I's shelling was so efficient that the second shot formed a straddle, and then in four and a half volleys, a shell slammed into the stern of the London! I saw a fiery red thing coming in from the rear of the hull, and the 9-inch main suit was directly pierced, and then the remaining energy of the shell shattered the dome armor that provided the last protection for the battleship, and finally exploded on the upper part of the propeller shaft! The entire battleship lost control in an instant like a shark with its tail cut off. began to dangle on the surface of the sea, while the massive force of the explosion pushed the remaining shrapnel through part of the underwater compartment of the hull. A large amount of seawater poured in from the breach, and with just one shell, the former dreadnought had already been severely damaged, and if nothing happened, then all that remained was the rhythm of killing the target, and the former dreadnought would not survive for more than a quarter of an hour!. …。

"Northwest direction. An unidentified column of smoke appeared. It was at this moment that an officer pushed open the door of the conning tower and said loudly. Northwest? This is where we are going. Albarsha muttered, picked up the binoculars, and began to observe the new fleet that appeared in the distance. The Turkish fleet is impossible, and I didn't let them out. The German Far Eastern Fleet is impossible, it is still thousands of miles away, but even if it is the British fleet, they really have such a big order? Don't look at yourself as only one capital ship, but Al Barsha believes that even if you come to 3 dreadnoughts, it will still be easy and enjoyable to fight them by yourself!

Al Barsha spotted each other. And the other party also discovered the port of Karachi, which has become a sea of fire, and the culprit of this disaster! Goodnow held the telescope with both hands, and some of the blue joints showed the anger in the heart of the British general! "These infidels, they are demons in hell!" There is no need to investigate in detail. Goodnow could already guess what was going on in the harbor, and as such, not to mention as a forward base for the British fleet. I am afraid that even normal civilian transportation will not be able to resume in a short period of time, and thick black smoke hovers over the port, and the smell of burning seems to be ......... as if I can smell it.

According to the telegram coming from the port, the other side seemed to be two warships, one was the former dreadnought and the other was supposed to be the same ship of the South Africa. Although the British seamen in the harbor could not be expected to have a high level of military literacy, they could still count the turrets. Through high-powered telescopes, the British could know that the battleship in the ship that was killing the harbor seemed to have three turrets! "It's really a narrow road!" Goodnow sneered, if you want to talk about the direct relationship between the South Africa and the two Turkish fast battleships, you can start from the Turkish fleet returning home, Australia and New Zealand are dangling around the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau all day long, while his South Africa has been following the two Turkish battleships from Malacca to the Persian Gulf, and the whole process is a strong onlooker! …。

Goodnow had been thinking that he would definitely fight these two big guys in the future, but what he didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly! Goodnow didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky, but if he wanted to say lucky, only Selim I came this time, and Suleiman did not come! If the opponent is 2 capital ships, Goodnow will have to consider whether it is a flash or not. To say unfortunate, it seems that at least about 10,000 tons of heavy oil in the entire port area seem to be completely destroyed, which is enough to fill 4 Australian-class fast battleships 2 to 3 times! And countless quantities of grain and cotton, all reduced to ashes in the fire! Even if you arrive 2 hours early, then all this can be avoided! …。

But now was clearly not the time to complain, and as flag after flag was conveyed through the fleet, the South Africa and the Minotaur armored cruiser behind it, as well as a detachment of light cruisers, began to enter the battle! According to the plan, the South Africa was to concentrate fire on the Selim I, and the Minotaur was to attack the Fatik with the cooperation of light cruisers. Face the Gudno fleet that suddenly kills in front of you...... Albarsha is a little bitter in his mouth, at present, his fleet has some disadvantages, even if Selim I and the South Africa have a draw, the Fatik can't beat the Minotaur! As the last British armored cruiser, the Minotaur has a large height of 8-inch armor, and the whole ship is equipped with a total of 12 234MM50L main guns, of which 8 can be concentrated on the side side. In medium-range engagements, you can be immune to the old 11-inch gun of the Fatik, and more importantly, the effective range of the opponent is obviously longer than that of the Fatik with only 4 main guns, and at a distance of more than 10KM, there is no difference between the 6-inch gun and the burning stick!

"Turn, get out of here, get ready for battle!" The Kaselim I sent a signal to the Fatik, which was extinguishing the fire, and the two ships began to turn to the southwest and flee, but at this time, the Fatik could only run at a speed of 18 knots at most due to mechanical aging and innovation, while the British fleet could run at a speed of more than 23 knots at this time. No matter how you go, World War I is inevitable. Al Barsha didn't think the Selim I was a big problem, but the Fatiq was probably not so lucky. After thinking about it, Al Barsha really thought that the chances of a successful evacuation with the Fatiq were almost zero. Ten minutes later, Al Barsha added a second order! …。

"The fleet slowed down, preparing to pick up some of the technicians from the Fatik, preparing to sink the Fatik by itself." After pondering for a moment, Al Barsha decisively ordered, the sinking of the Fatik is almost certain, and as the commander, Albasha thinks about how to reduce the losses as much as possible, the loss of the Fatik is unavoidable, the battleship is gone, but the personnel still need to be preserved as much as possible, and it will take some time for the British fleet to come up, so during this time, it is still possible to save people.

"The general, Captain Razmura and part of the crew refused to evacuate, they wanted to fight until the last moment, and together with the Fatiq, they experienced the glory of the Turkish-Greek War. And now, they must accompany the Fatiq on its final journey. A moment later an officer reported.

"Good luck to them!" Looking at the Fatik in the distance, Al Barsha did not leave. "The British must pay!" By this time, he had fixed his eyes on the armored cruiser in Goodno's fleet, and from the physical analysis, Albarsha recognized him as the last armored cruiser of the first rank in the British Navy. "It's nice to be able to sink it." Al Barsha thought to himself.

"Tell our comrades on board the Fatik that we will accompany them through the last moments of their glorious lives, and that the great and noble Selim I will not abandon their comrades until the Fatik sinks!" When Al Barsha passed this order on in the flag language, the Turkish naval officers and men who participated in the battle were jubilant, as if they had seen the Turkish fleet across the Mediterranean Sea hundreds of years ago, as if they had returned to the era when the entire United Christian fleet was fought against the entire United Christian fleet by one country! In the world's first large-scale engagement of a large-scale sail artillery fleet, the Turkish Navy was defeated, and now, they want to regain their old glory! …………。

Albasha is definitely not a hot-headed person, at least after years of training in the Navy of the Republic of China, Albasha will definitely not be rash, if there are 2 fast battleships of the same class on the opposite side, then needless to say, he will just turn around and run, but now? You can consider getting a little bit of it. "Let's hope the technical analysis of the Germans is okay." Al Barsha said silently in his heart.

ALBASHA IS STILL VERY CONFIDENT IN THE DEFENSE OF THE SHIP, OF COURSE, THIS IS PREMISED ON THE FACT THAT THE OPPONENT'S ARTILLERY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN 350MM NAVAL GUNS INSTALLED ON IT. And at this time...... When he saw that the Turks did not evacuate but rushed up murderously, Goodnow suddenly felt a little dazed, thinking, after hundreds of years, when did the Turkish Navy become so good? Dare to directly challenge the capital ships of the British Royal Navy? But it would be a great success if the Germans could be dealt a heavy blow before they came to the Middle East! Goodnow, who didn't have time to think about it, commanded the fleet to rush straight up, the South Africa at the head, followed by the Minotaur, and then 4 light cruisers, of course, the light warships behind would not have entered the battle at the beginning. Their task is a lightning-struck battleship.

Goodnow still has a certain understanding of the South Africa, he agrees with Thomas, Betty and others that it is very difficult to sink the South Africa fast battleship by artillery alone, and Goodnow's idea is to give full play to the advantages of gunnery, and after wounding the opponent, the light cruiser lightning strikes to solve the opponent, just like the two sides did in the Sino-Russian War! . …。

Goodnow was a more disciplined soldier. His tactical arrangement also emphasizes a stable word, South Africa against Selim I, Minotaur against Fatik, when the Minotaur hit Fatik hard, will concentrate fire on Selim I, then lightly patrol the knife, and finally rely on the amount of projection to destroy the opponent, and then use torpedoes to solve. But this time, Goodnow ran into a guy who didn't play his cards according to common sense!
