Several "Southampton-class" light cruisers of the British Navy fled quickly. The Imperial Navy sent some warships to pursue them, but there were inevitably fish that escaped. △↗After all, in this naval battle, a total of hundreds of warships on both sides fought in this vast sea area. It was almost impossible to completely blockade. The Imperial Navy could only focus on the main battleships of the British Navy.

At 3:45 pm, the main battleship of the Imperial Navy returned to the combat waters. When the towering and tall bodies of the eight powerful battleships appeared on the sea, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy cheered. They knew that the Imperial Navy had won another victory this time.

On the other hand, the British Navy was silent and his heart was filled with sorrow. They knew that the "Nelson-class" warships of the British Navy were probably destroyed. Otherwise, the main battleships of the Chinese Navy would not have returned so quickly.

"Send a telegram to the British and ask them to surrender to us immediately! Otherwise, we will sink them all!" said Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy. Now, the Imperial Navy has won this naval battle. What we need to do is to further expand the results of the war. Only in this way can the interests of the Imperial Navy be guaranteed.

Although the Imperial Navy looked down on these British warships, including those battleships, were not favored by them. However, if they could be repaired and sold to the Imperial allies, they could make a lot of money.

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Ye Feng, chief of staff of the fleet, nodded.

The communication officers of the Imperial Navy sent letters to the British Navy to persuade the surrender. Not only the flagships of the British Navy received the telegrams. The other warships also received the telegrams. Compared with the commander of the fleet, General George Satrus, most of the other British people did not want to die. Originally, they thought that this time they would die. However, they did not expect that the Chinese Navy would actually persuade them to surrender. In this way, if they could surrender, their lives would undoubtedly be saved.

Of course, none of this can be decided by ordinary soldiers, everything depends on the commander's intention. However, almost most British naval officers and soldiers hope to survive. Countless people looked at the position of the flagship with hope, and they hoped that the fleet commander General George Satrus could fully consider their interests.

"His Excellency Commander, the Chinese people demand that we surrender. Otherwise, they will start attacking. They only gave us half an hour to consider!" A communication officer said to General George Satrus with a tough bullet.

"Damn!" General George Satrus cursed. As an officer of the British Royal Navy, everyone should fight to the end for the glory of the Royal Navy, even if they die in battle. How can the glory of the Royal Navy be defiled like this?

However, until now, does the British Navy still have the capital to continue fighting? There are only six battleships left, and four battleships that have suffered severe damage are just barely kept not sinking. If the battle continues, they will probably be sunk soon. The other two slightly injured battleships will be siege by the Chinese Navy. The outcome can be imagined. It can be said that if the battle continues, there will be only a dead end.

Admiral George Satrus was actually very frustrated. Originally, the British Navy had a great advantage in this battle. Their main battleships were 4 more than the Chinese Navy's 5th Fleet. Their number of warships was almost twice that of the Chinese Navy's 5th Fleet. But the final result was the British Navy's defeat. The culprit in all this was undoubtedly the torpedo attack launched by the Chinese Navy. This was undoubtedly a pioneering attack method. The British Navy had no defense at all. So much so that their main battleships suffered heavy losses under the lightning strike of the Chinese Navy.

This directly led to the British Navy losing the war. It can be said that the reason why this war ended so soon was entirely because of the Chinese Navy's lightning strike. Otherwise, the Chinese Navy would have to fight for a while if it wanted to win the war. Moreover, it would not have won the war at such a small price, and the price would definitely be much greater.

Faced with the Chinese Navy's persuasion, General George Satrus, as the commander of the British Navy's local fleet, should have refused and led the fleet to fight to the end to maintain the glory of the Royal Navy. However, when he saw the hopeful gazes of others, he was shaken.

"What do you think I should do? Surrender to the Chinese, or fight to the end?" asked Admiral George Satrus.

"Hisser Commander, let's surrender to the Chinese! We have lost this war, and there is no need to pay unnecessary casualties!" The first person to speak was the captain of the "Colinwood". Originally, he tried to get General George Satrus to leave the dangerous "Colinwood". However, the loophole was blocked and it was temporarily safe.

Admiral George Satrus's face changed, but in the end he suppressed the anger in his heart.

The other officers also expressed their opinions. There is no doubt that they all believed that there was no need to continue fighting. In this battle, the British Navy had already lost. If they lost, they had to admit defeat, otherwise they would be killed by the Chinese. To put it bluntly, these people are afraid of death. After all, not everyone is willing to give their lives for the so-called glory.

"Okay, then surrender to the Chinese according to your wishes!" General George Satrus said helplessly.

"Yes, Commander!" said the captain of the 'Colinwood' quickly.

The other British naval officers looked relieved. Many of them even had expressions of surviving the disaster.

When white flags rose from the British Navy's warships, it undoubtedly meant that the naval battle was over. The British Navy's local fleet lost a huge defeat in this naval battle.

"Commander, the British surrendered, we won, we won this battle!" Lieutenant General Ye Feng, the flagship of the Imperial Navy's 5th Fleet, shouted excitedly.

"Yes, we won!" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng said calmly. As the commander of the fleet, he was under great pressure to fight the British Navy with the 5th Fleet alone this time. Fortunately, the final result was that the 5th Fleet won and achieved a complete victory at a small price. Even he himself did not expect such a result.

"Long live! Long live the Imperial Navy!" The officers and soldiers of the 5th Fleet all shouted loudly. They had been waiting for this victory for a long time.

"Chief of Staff, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go to have a nap!" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng said with a smile. With the merits of this battle, after the war, he could no longer escape from being promoted to Admiral.

"Okay, Commander!" Lieutenant General Ye Feng nodded. He also knew how much pressure Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng had been under during this period.

Next, the Imperial Navy sent personnel to receive British Navy warships, which will be the spoils of the Imperial Navy from now on. The British may really be desperate. Facing the Imperial Navy officers and soldiers who boarded their warships, they were completely obedient. However, many people still had a strong sense of anger. After all, this was the Chinese Navy that destroyed their glory and their future.

However, in order to survive, they had to surrender to the Chinese Navy. From this, we can also see the helplessness of these British naval officers and soldiers.

In addition, the Imperial Navy also began to count the results and losses of the war. When the naval war ended, they had to report the situation to the country as soon as possible. His Majesty the Great Emperor is still waiting for their good news!

It was not until the evening that these were completed. Lieutenant General Ye Feng, chief of staff of the 5th Fleet, handed over a battle report to Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng, commander of the fleet.

"Sinking five battleships, capturing six battleships. Sinking four "Nelson" battleships, capturing four. In addition, 23 other large and large warships were sunk, capturing more than 30 other large and large warships." Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng was very satisfied with the sinking and capturing numbers on the battle report. Especially for the 12 battleships of the British Navy, except for the "Birmingham" battleships that retreated from the battle in advance, the other warships were sunk or captured.

"Where is our losses?" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng asked.

"We have seven warships sunk in total, and four warships were severely damaged. The rest are slightly injured. The 8 main battleships were all slightly injured, which does not affect the subsequent battle!" Lieutenant General Ye Feng said. Although the Imperial Navy won this battle, it does not mean that the war has ended. Without the end of the war, the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy had to continue fighting.

"Well! Send a good news to Your Majesty and the General Staff!" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng nodded. No matter what, the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy has achieved an unprecedented victory this time. This victory will even directly affect the situation of this war.

"Well, the good news has been prepared. After you nod, you can send it back!" Lieutenant General Ye Feng said.

Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng took it and quickly signed his name. Then he handed over the telegram to Lieutenant General Ye Feng.

Lieutenant General Ye Feng immediately arranged for someone to send the telegram back. The radio waves carried the news of the great victory of the Imperial Navy, and it traveled thousands of miles to the empire on the other side of the world. The Palace Telegraph Room and the General Staff Telegraph Room, which had been waiting for the news, received the telegram.
