The battleship "Malaya" belonged to the fifth ship of the "Queen Elizabeth class" battleships of the British Navy. It was also the only surviving of the five 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. The remaining four, including HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Warweary, HMS Barham and HMS Warrior, have sunk. And this battleship 'Malaya', after being captured by the Chinese Navy, will change its name and return to service.

After all, the performance of the 'Queen Elizabeth class' battleships, although not as good as most of the battleships of the Chinese Navy. In particular, the defensive power may not even be comparable to the early 'Longxing-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy. However, its 381 mm main gun is still quite powerful. When the time comes, whether it is a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy or a struggle with the US Navy for maritime supremacy, it will still be able to come in handy. In this way, it will also avoid the Chinese Navy building these battleships on its own, wasting money.

Moreover, at the strong request of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, the direction of the development of the Imperial Navy has shifted to aircraft carriers, and it will definitely not agree to allocate funds to build these battleships that are not of much practical use. Therefore, for the generals of the Imperial Navy, who were fond of battleships, capturing the battleships of other countries became the only way for them to increase the number of battleships in the Imperial Navy.

In addition to the battleship 'Malaya', the British Navy's expeditionary fleet had seven capital ships left. Among them, except for the two 'Iron Duke-class' battleships, the remaining five are all 'revenge-class' battleships. None of these 'Vengeance-class' battleships were slightly or severely damaged, but none of them were sunk. I have to admit it. Their luck was good. It's just that this time, they can't escape anymore.

The British Navy's battleship 'Revenge' was a one-on-one battle with the Imperial Navy's battleship 'Shaohao'. However, the battleship had already received several shells before. In the heads-up with the battleship 'Shaohao', it was obviously at a disadvantage.

Moreover. The light cruisers and destroyers that provided cover for the battleship 'Revenge' have all been sunk, leaving only the battleship 'Revenge', which is alone against the battleship 'Shaohao' of the Chinese Navy, as well as a light cruiser and three destroyers.

After receiving the order from Marshal Cheng Biguang, Rear Admiral Li Dingxin immediately ordered someone to invent a code telegram for the battleship 'Revenge', wanting to recruit them. However, in the face of the surrender of the Imperial Navy, the battleship 'Revenge' chose to refuse. They telegraphed to the battleship 'Shaohao' as a member of the valiant Royal Navy. Even if they were all killed, they would not do anything that would tarnish the glory of the Royal Navy.

For the choice of these stubborn British, Major General Li Dingxin chose to respect. So, he ordered the light cruisers and destroyers of the Imperial Navy to launch lightning strikes on the battleship 'Revenge'.

Four battleships rushed towards the battleship 'Revenge'. Although, the secondary guns on the battleship 'Revenge' fired desperately to stop the ships. But. His resistance, however one looks at it, is futile.

Five or four battleships approached only two kilometers from the battleship 'Revenge'. A lightning strike was initiated. 18 torpedoes, fanned out towards the battleship 'Revenge'. At this distance, such a density of lightning strikes, the battleship 'Revenge' simply could not dodge.

However, the return fire of the battleship 'Revenge' still caused heavy damage to the two destroyers of the Imperial Navy. Had to withdraw from the fight.

However, under the lightning strike of the Imperial Navy, the battleship 'Revenge' did not take advantage of it at all. Eighteen torpedoes, although most of them missed. However, two torpedoes still hit the battleship 'Revenge'. One hit the tail of the battleship 'Revenge'. The propeller and the servo were blown up, causing the Revenge to continue to slow down and lose its ability to steer. Another torpedo hit the apostorboard of the battleship 'Revenge'. A large hole was blown directly in the amidships. The sea rushed into the battleship in a frenzy.

By this time, the captain of the battleship 'Revenge' already knew that he was doomed. So, he gave the order to abandon the ship, and then locked himself in the cabin.

Although, he had the right to give orders to preserve the glory of the Royal Navy. However, he could not deprive others of the desire to live. Letting those people choose for themselves is undoubtedly the best way to go.

Eventually, the captain of the battleship 'Revenge' sank into the sea with the battleship. Of the more than 1,000 officers and men on the battleship, less than 200 managed to escape. The rest, whether they wanted it or not, could only sink into the icy ocean with the cold iron coffin of the battleship Revenge.

Like the battleship 'Revenge', there are many warships that have been chosen to maintain the glory of the Royal Navy. For example, the battleship 'Sovereign'. They also rejected the surrender of the Chinese Navy and chose to resist to the end.

However, in the end, it was sunk by two 'Five Emperor-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy. None of the more than 1,000 officers and men on the battleship survived, and all of them were buried with the battleship. Of course, there is also a reason why the angry Chinese Navy did not rescue the crew members who fell into the water. Otherwise, there may be some people who will be able to flee for their lives. In such a tragic naval battle, they had no other choice but to send these people to their deaths.

The battleship 'Marlborough' of the British Navy also chose to resist. So, in the fierce battle, it was sunk by the Imperial Navy with a torpedo. Those who managed to escape to the lifeboat, the Chinese Navy also chose to turn a blind eye to this. They actually refused the surrender of the Imperial Navy and chose to maintain the honor of the British Royal Navy. Then, they will have to pay for their choice. The price is their lives.

Naturally, this practice of the Imperial Navy, once leaked out, will attract a lot of criticism. However, this is not harmful at all for the Imperial Navy. Anyway, the Western world has always regarded China as a barbarian country. The barbarian nation killed several prisoners of war. Isn't that the way it should be?

At least, the Imperial Navy did not shoot the enemy sailors who fell overboard, like the Japanese, directly with their rifles. The Imperial Navy is just leaving them to fend for themselves, which is already done to them.

Among the capital ships of the British Navy, some chose to resist to the end, and naturally some chose to accept the surrender of the Imperial Navy. After all. By this time, the British already knew that they had not only failed, but also suffered a fiasco. If you want to escape, it becomes a luxury. Under such circumstances, it is understandable to surrender in order to save your life.

After all, people's desire to survive can sometimes be very strong. Strong enough to throw away all self-esteem and glory. Although, the glory of the Royal Navy hundreds of miles to build is very important. But for every officer and sailor of the Royal Navy, saving their lives at this time seems to be the most important thing.

The captain of the battleship "Resolve" ordered the white flag to be hoisted and accepted the surrender of the Chinese Navy. The more than 1,000 officers and sailors on the battleship acquiesced to this order.

The captain of the battleship 'Ramiris', although he did not agree to surrender. But the officers and men of the Royal Navy who are bent on staying alive. But he was detained, and then made a decision in his place. After the surrender of the battleship 'Ramillis'. It will also be repaired, renamed and added to the Imperial Navy.

The battleship 'Royal Oak' was the most aggressive, knowing that there was no way to escape, and immediately after the Chinese Navy sent a telegram of surrender, they chose to surrender.

The battleship 'Iron Duke' was also informed that the flagship had sunk. The wise choice was to surrender. Their act of surrender, perhaps, was unacceptable to the British. However, for the sailors on the battleship, it was the best option. After all. If they don't surrender, they will be dead.

In this naval battle, the number of battleships surrendered reached five, including the 'Malaya', 'Resolve', 'Ramillis', 'Royal Oak' and 'Iron Duke'. Of these, one is a 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleship, one is an 'Iron Duke-class' battleship, and the remaining three are 'revenge-class' battleships.

As for the sunken capital ships, that's even more. Including the battlecruisers that were sunk in yesterday's naval battle, a total of seventeen capital ships were sunk. Such a loss was probably not expected by all the countries before the war. After all, the Royal Navy's expeditionary fleet has 24 capital ships, and in terms of total tonnage, it has reached more than 750,000 tons, which is more than the main fleet of the Chinese Navy. Coupled with the quality of the Royal Navy, and the prestige it has built up over the years, the whole world believes that the Royal Navy has a great chance of winning.

Even if it is not good, it can at least reach a tie with the Chinese Navy. If it can be tied, it will also be very beneficial for the United States and Japan. The Americans, in particular, undoubtedly hoped that both the Chinese and British navies would be able to lose before the war. In this case, the supremacy of the sea will undoubtedly fall into their hands as easily as a ripe peach.

It's just that this time, both Americans and Japanese will definitely be quite disappointed. The Chinese Navy won this naval battle at a very small cost. It will also be a huge change for the naval forces of all countries in the world.
