"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Mediterranean still rumbling with cannons and smoke filled the smoke. The sea was filled with floating wooden boards or sailors falling into the water. Some of these sailors were dead and became cold corpses. Some were still alive, holding lifebuoys or wooden boards waiting for rescue. However, before the naval battle was completely over, no one would have the energy to rescue them.

The naval battle has entered its final moment. The Spanish Navy fleet is fighting the final victory against the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy, attempting to sink all the warships of the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy. After all, they have won this naval battle, and it is time to further expand the results.

The battleship "Izmir" of the Ottoman Empire Navy was trapped in the siege of two Spanish Navy battleships, and fierce artillery fire swept towards him. The battleship "Izmir" which had already dropped to less than ten knots due to damage to the power compartment, could not escape the attack of the Spanish Navy. If there were no accidents, the final fate of this battleship would be to be sunk.

"Boom!" A fireball rose at the head of the battleship "Izmir". The main turret on the bow of the ship was shot. The turret armor was torn open and the entire main turret was destroyed. Fortunately, there were no shells and launching medicine in the main turret at this moment, and the iron gate of the ammunition depot was also closed. Otherwise, the battleship would have suffered heavy losses. However, at this moment, the outcome of the battleship "↘t Izmir" was almost unchangeable. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be sunk by the Spanish Navy's warship.

At this time, the battleship "Izmir" raised a white flag. The captain of the ship finally made a choice in the face of life and death. Although surrendering to the Spanish was a shame and even implicated his family. However, he did not want to see Allah at this time. Therefore, choosing to surrender became the only way.

The surrender of the battleship "Izmir" was accepted by the Spanish Navy. The Marines on board the warship on a small boat, controlling the key positions on the warship, and ensuring that the warship was fully controlled. Although the battleship "Izmir" was severely damaged, it was still an old-fashioned "Western Han-class" battleship. But the Spanish Navy was not picky and they did not lose a battleship in this naval battle. This means that after the war, their naval tonnage would be second only to the Chinese Empire and become the second most powerful naval power in the world. Of course, even old-fashioned battleships such as the "Western Han-class" were extremely powerful after the war. Without other naval powers, the Spanish Navy only needed to fight pirates. Warships like the "Western Han-class" battleships could be used. Of course, they could also save a lot of money for purchasing ships.

The battleship "Izmir" is not the only battleship that surrendered to the Spanish Navy. With the defeat determined, many Ottoman Turkish naval generals made such a choice. After all, if the battle continues, they have no chance of winning. By the time they will sink to the cold seabed. Therefore, these generals chose to surrender one after another. In this way, they can at least save their lives. As for the honor of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, they will not be considered by them for the time being.

When the battleships of both sides were in a decisive battle, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers of both sides were also in fierce battles. Except for a small number of battleships left to protect the battleships, the rest of the battleships were fighting fiercely on the vast sea. The battle between cruisers and destroyers was often more tragic than the battleships. Even if the main gun caliber of cruisers and destroyers could not be compared with battleships, the armor of cruisers and destroyers was thinner and even not. The combat distance was closer. Once the two sides exchanged fierce fire, it was more like infantry fighting in hand-to-hand combat.

The Spanish Navy's heavy cruiser was purchased from the Chinese Empire, while the light cruiser was mainly the "Solar Class" cruiser and the "Solar Class Improved" cruiser. The destroyers were the "Tiangang Class" destroyers and the "Tiangang Class" improved destroyers. The Ottoman Turkish Empire had more types of cruisers and destroyers, including the "Solar Class" light cruiser and the "Tiangang Class" destroyer purchased from the Chinese Empire, as well as the "Hamburg Class" light cruiser and the "Kir Class" destroyer purchased from the Germans. The heavy cruiser was

The German "Prussian-class" heavy cruiser. This is a heavy cruiser designed by the German Navy for the "Yangtze River-class" heavy cruiser of the Chinese Navy. It is named after the names of many states of the German Empire. It has very strong performance. It is comparable to the "Yangtze River-class" heavy cruiser of the Chinese Navy. However, if compared with the improved "Songhua River-class" heavy cruiser of the "Yangtze River-class" heavy cruiser, it will be a little behind. Not to mention the next-class heavy cruiser that the Imperial Navy is now building, which is even stronger than the "Songhua River-class" heavy cruiser.

In the fierce battle between cruisers and destroyers, the warships of both sides paid a considerable price. They were severely damaged or even sunk. However, with the advantages of quantity and performance, the Spanish Navy still had an absolute advantage in the battle between cruisers and destroyers. This naval battle can be said that the Ottoman Turkish Empire lost very thoroughly.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the naval battle had come to an end. Nine of the 13 battleships of the Ottoman Empire Navy were sunk, and the other four surrendered to the Spanish Navy. However, the four battleships that surrendered were only two "Qin-class" battleships and two "Western Han-class" battleships. The remaining "Brandenburg-class" battleships and "Caesar Frederick III-class" battleships were all sunk. This made the Spanish Navy commander General Antonio very regretful.

In terms of cruisers and destroyers, many were sunk. However, the "Prussian-class" heavy cruiser purchased by the Ottoman Turkish Empire from Germany were either sunk or fled. This made the Chinese Empire's original desire to use the Spanish to study this heavy cruiser to see if it would pose a threat to the Imperial Navy also failed.

Fortunately, the Spanish Navy won the naval battle at a small cost and successfully gained control of the entire Mediterranean, which allowed the imperial army to be transported continuously to Europe through sea transportation, thus gaining a complete foothold in Europe. In this case, it would be impossible for the Germans to sweep Western Europe before the imperial reinforcements arrived.

Although the Ottoman Turkish Navy had some warships left, including two "Prussian-class" heavy cruisers, this battle had scared the Ottoman Turkish Navy. Almost all of their remaining warships were huddled on the Marmara Sea and did not dare to go out to sea to fight again, knowing that they were captured by the Peace Alliance after the war ended. It can be said that it was through this naval battle that the Ottoman Turkish Navy was completely defeated, leaving them without any actions in this world war.

The Spanish Navy also paid a considerable price to win. Among the 12 main battleships, 6 were severely injured, and the remaining six were all slightly injured, basically not intact. The heavy cruisers also severely damaged two, but not sunk. The light cruisers and destroyers sank more than ten light cruisers and destroyers, and a total of more than 3,000 people were killed in the entire naval battle. Of course, such losses were nothing compared to the Ottoman Empire Navy.

In Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Sultan Abdul Maijid I walked around the study in annoyed manner. He tried hard to calm himself down, but found that he could not do it at all. Even though the lunch delivered by the waiter was placed aside, it had become cold, he did not take a bite. Now Abdul Maijid I had no intention of paying attention to these things. He was anxiously waiting for the result of the naval battle. When the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Spanish Navy encountered, telegrams were sent to the country. After the battle began, no telegrams were sent back. Abdul Maijid I knew that the Ottoman Turkish Empire was fighting fiercely with the Spanish.

Abdul Maijid I hoped that the Ottoman Turkish Navy would win, which was a fleet built with his strong insistence. Originally, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had never been a maritime power. The ministers suggested that the main energy should be focused on the development and construction of the army. However, Abdul Maijid I believed that if the Ottoman Turkish Empire would become a world-wide power, it would have to have a strong navy and army at the same time. Therefore, he promoted the construction of the navy, which made the Ottoman Turkish Empire purchased six powerful battleships and multiple heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers from the German Empire, making the Ottoman Turkish Navy a powerful navy second only to the Chinese Empire and Germany in terms of tonnage.

Ali Pasha's figure appeared outside the study room.

"Come in, is there any news of the naval battle?" asked Abdul Maijid I.

"Your Majesty, the naval battle has ended. We have failed. Mohamed Kbar Pasha has been killed in battle, losing all battleships and most of the heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. The main force of the navy is gone." Ali Pasha said.

"What?" Abdul Maijid I saw darkness and she fainted immediately. (To be continued...)
