The flagship flagship of the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy was raised. This battleship replaced the battleship of the "Sultan" and became the new flagship of the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy. However, the good luck of the battleship of the "Ankara" disappeared after Mohamed Kbar Pasha was boarded. The battleship of the "Ankara" which was besieged by two battleships of the Spanish Navy, and was constantly consuming shells.

Although the battleship besieged the "Ankara" was the Spanish Navy's "Western Han-class" battleship, the 280mm shells were slightly less powerful than the 305mm shells of the "Ankara" battleship. However, the twenty 280mm shells of the two "Western Han-class" battleships still caused fatal damage to the "Ankara" battleship. After replacing the new 50-times-caliber 280mm main gun, the armor-piercing ability of this shell is not inferior to that of the 305mm shells, and it can still tear the armor of the "Ankara" battleship.

The three 305mm main guns on the battleship Ankara fought back fiercely, but they could not change his destiny. In particular, the battleships located at the front of the battleship line were sunk one after another. Now the five battleships on the front half of the battleship line had to withstand the crazy firepower of the enemy's twelve battleships, which made the Ottoman Turkish Empire naval officers and soldiers on the battleship Ankara even more unacceptable.

Like the battleship "Ankara", the other four battleships in the first half of the battle line were in extremely bad situations. As several battleships in front of the battle line were sunk, the Spanish Navy could calmly allocate firepower to deal with the naval battleships of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Although Mohamed Kbar Pasha had ordered several battleships in the second half of the battle line to accelerate. However, the speed of the battleship "Izmir" decreased and it could not keep up with the speed of the battle line. The other battleships behind had to bypass the battleship "Izmir", which made the Ottoman Turkish Empire wasted a lot of time.

In just a dozen minutes, the twelve battleships of the Spanish Navy were enough to cause another heavy blow to the Ottoman Turkish Navy. In order to ensure the rapid sinking of the Ottoman Turkish Navy, the Spanish Navy was still constantly narrowing the distance between the two sides. By 10:20 am, the distance between the two sides had been narrowed to 6,000 meters. At this distance, not only the main gun can cause fatal damage to the opponent's battleships, but the secondary gun can also threaten the opponent's battleships. Of course, the power of the secondary gun is too small, and it may not be able to break the thick armor. However, the secondary gun can sweep the enemy's deck and kill the naval officers and soldiers. Or directly drive the opponent's superstructure into a sieve.

In fact, the battle reached this point, was the most tragic. The warships on both sides had reached the point where the bayonets were red. Although the Spanish Navy's battleships were frequently hit and even suffered heavy damage. At least there were no sunk. On the other hand, the battleships of the Ottoman Empire Navy had been completely threatened to their lives.

When several battleships behind the Ottoman Turkish Empire arrived, the battleships in front had already paid a heavy price. The new flagship "Ankara" battleship was directly hit hard, with three triple-mounted 305mm main guns, and only one main gun could continue to fire. The other two were destroyed. In addition, the superstructure of the battleship was burning, and the damage managers worked hard for a long time, but they could not put out the fire.

Two of the other battleships were sunk, and the other two were also seriously injured. It can be said that until now, the Ottoman Turkish Empire has lost the ability to continue fighting. Although several subsequent battleships arrived, these old-fashioned "Qin-class" battleships and "Western Han-class" battleships no longer have the ability to reverse the situation.

"Pasha, the 'Ankara' has been severely damaged. Water has occurred in several watertight compartments. Although it has been blocked, it may not be blocked if it is attacked again. Therefore, please transfer Pasha to other battleships!" The captain of the battleship "Ankara" requested. After all, Mohammed Kbar Pasha is the commander of the Ottoman Empire Navy. If something happens to him on the battleship "Ankara", it will be more troublesome.

"Forget it, I won't leave. Just be on this warship." Mohamed Kbar Pasha shook his head. Now, he didn't know that the defeat was decided? But he didn't know what to do. After all, if he failed, even if he fled back to Istanbul, Sultan Abdul Maijid I would not let him go. After all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire worked hard to establish such a powerful navy, but now it was completely damaged. Sultan Abdul Maijid I, who was angry, would inevitably pour out all his anger on his head. It is estimated that he will not be able to escape the fate of death by then, but he doesn't know whether he will be shot or hanged in the end.

However, neither of these two ways of death was what Mohammed Kbar Pasha wanted. If he had to die, he would rather die in battle. In this case, perhaps Sultan Abdul Maijid I would not make things difficult for his family. If he escaped, his family would probably be implicated. Mohammed Kbar Pasha did not want his family to be affected.

The emotion of failure has spread to the hearts of every Ottoman Navy officer and soldier. They all know that failure seems inevitable. However, they must persist before new orders are issued.

On the Spanish Navy's flagship "Queen", General Antonio and Lieutenant General Sessis were already celebrating their victory. Now, there are as many as five battleships of the sunken Ottoman Empire Navy, and most of the remaining eight battleships were injured, and many were seriously injured. In contrast, the Spanish Navy had only three battleships seriously injured. These three battleships were all "Qin-class" battleships. At the beginning of the battle, they fought a one-on-one decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire. However, when facing the new battleships of the Ottoman Empire, they were always at a disadvantage. So much so that they had to use their weak bodies to block the strong enemy and buy time for the main force.

The "Qin-class" battleship has a displacement of only over 10,000 tons, and the main gun only has three dual-mounted 280mm main guns. Whether it is facing the "Brandenburg-class" battleships of the Ottoman Turkish Empire or the "Western Han-class" battleships, they are at an absolute disadvantage. Therefore, being seriously injured is almost inevitable. This is because they have better luck. If they are a little worse, they may be sunk directly.

When he was about to win, in order to avoid excessive losses from his side, Admiral Antonio directly ordered these severely damaged warships to withdraw from the battle and go to the Chinese naval base on Crete for repair. Anyway, the remaining nine battleships were enough to ensure the final victory of the Spanish Navy. In particular, the four "early Tang-class" battleships were only slightly injured at most, and their combat power was basically intact. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

It was undoubtedly proved in previous battles that the "Caesar Frederick III-class" battleships purchased by the Ottoman Turkish Empire from Germany were no match for the "early Tang" battleships purchased by the Spanish Navy from China, not to mention the "Brandenburg-class" battleships, as well as the more old-fashioned "Qin-class" battleships and "Western Han-class" battleships.

The battles that followed were almost in a one-sided state, and the battleships of the Ottoman Empire Navy were sunk one after another, even the new flagship "Ankara" battleship was no exception.

However, Mohamed Kbal Pasha, the commander of the Ottoman Empire Navy, could not see the moment of failure. Before, he escaped the fate of being killed on the battleship "Sultan". After he had just left the battleship "Sultan", the bridge of the battleship "Sultan" was penetrated. All the officers inside were bombed to death.

Now, the battleship Ankara has encountered the same fate again. A 280mm shell hit the battleship Ankara. Although the bridge armor of the battleship Ankara is not thin, it is 280mm. However, the new 50-times caliber 280mm main gun, coupled with a special armor-piercing shell, still tore open the armor-piercing layer.

The shells exploded in the bridge and everyone was killed. Even Mohammed Kbar Pasha, no one escaped. After all, even if he was Pasha, his flesh and blood still could not fight against steel.

After Mohamed Kbar Pasha was killed, the Ottoman Turkish navy lost command again. Although some battleships were left, these battleships were each fighting. Some wanted to continue fighting, but others wanted to escape. They believed that if they continued fighting, there was no chance of winning. Therefore, retreat was the best choice.

The Ottoman Turkish Navy, which was in chaos, gave the Spanish Navy a great opportunity to drive them out. After all, the Spanish Navy still has an absolute advantage now, and they can easily sink these warships of the Ottoman Turkish Navy one after another. The Ottoman Turkish Navy no longer has the power to turn the world back. (To be continued)
