The Soviet fleet was sailing along a route close to the Spanish coast.

Alexander Orov stood on the bridge of the "Red Ural" and looked at the sparkling sea in the afternoon and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. The task this time was so arduous and not easy to complete. Under the temptation of Moscow and the Soviet advisory group, the Negrim government finally agreed to hand over half of the treasury reserves to the Soviet Union for "keeping".

What are the consequences if the task is not completed?

Orov couldn't help but shivered when he thought of Zhuashviri's cold and ruthless eyes.

"Comrade Olov, what should I do if I encounter a German or Austrian fleet?" Captain Karesh asked.

"There is no problem, Comrade Captain. Why the Supreme Council requires the sending of warships to carry out this arduous task is because they are worried about the safety of the supplies." Olov said, this was a secret operation. Now, no one in the fleet knows what is being loaded on the warship except him. "The Germans will not intercept us at the risk of war. It is already explained that we can enter the port of Spain smoothly. They can only watch from the side, and there is no other way. You must know that attacking warships in other countries is equivalent to declaring war."

"Well, I understand what you mean, imperialists are always some harsh and timid!" said Karesh.

"I found an unknown fleet in front of the right!" At this time, a shout of looking at my hands suddenly came from the speaker.

An alarm sounded suddenly on the warship, and the crew ran to the deck and rushed towards their combat positions.

Karesh raised his telescope and looked at the sea in the distance. Under the cloudy sky, several large warships were sailing at high speed in their direction, and white waves ignited on the bow.

"It was heading towards us, it should be the Austrian fleet, and the two of their 'Markensen-class battleships were headed." Colonel Karesh put down his telescope and turned to Olov and said.

"It's impossible. Maybe it's the warships of other countries?" Orlof said as if he was comforting himself.

"Comrade Orov, I am the naval commander and I deal with pictures of warships from various countries all day long. I have seen them on the sea with my own eyes. Please believe the judgment of a naval commander." Karesh handed the telescope in his hand to Orov. The latter held the telescope and looked carefully at the sea in the distance. At this time, the Austro-Hungarian fleet had approached about ten nautical miles, and the outline of the incoming ship could be seen very clearly.

"Yes, the battleship is coming. You are right, comrade Captain." Olov said.

"They obviously came to us, Comrade Orlov. Maybe they would ask to board the ship for search!" Karesh's last sentence made Orlov nervous.

"Why?"

"They have declared an arms embargo on Spain and have the right to require inspections of any ships close to Spanish territorial waters, which is in accordance with international practice," Karesh said.

"No, you must not agree to let them board the ship! This is the highest order!" said Orov.

"But we are not their opponents at all. The opponent seems to have two battleships, two cruisers, and some light cruisers. But either of them is stronger than us," said Karesh. "Maybe we can only hide in the territorial waters line. Then they have no choice."

"What is a territorial sea line?"

"Switch to the left! Go forward at full speed to the coast!" Karesh ignored Orov's questions and quickly issued an order.

The Russian fleet began to turn and drove towards a wide shallow bay on the coast at full speed. Gradually, the color of the sea water began to lighten, and the color of the soil was shown due to the mud and sand on the shore.

"Pay attention to the depth of the sea!" Karesh ordered. At this time, he felt a little relaxed, so he turned to Olov and said, "The territorial waters line means that it is within the territory of Spain. The International Law of the Sea stipulates that the sea area 3 nautical miles from the coast belongs to the territorial waters of the coastal countries. If an attack is launched here, it is equivalent to infringing on Spain's sovereignty."

At this time, the deputy captain said: "They have caught up and are sending out light signals!"

"What are you talking about?" Orlov asked.

"It means let's stop moving forward, they're going to board the ship to check!" said the deputy captain.

"Impossible!" At this time, the political commissar came from below, "This is an insult to our great motherland. Even if we die in battle gloriously, we will never surrender!"

Karesh glanced at the political commissar, but said nothing, "Do you know how big the difference is between cruisers and battleships?" He secretly complained in his heart.

The Austro-Hungarian warships surrounded them, with a total of 12 warships, including 2 battleships, 2 treaty heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers and 4 destroyers. Except for the four destroyers, any enemy warship is stronger than the "Red Ural". Several Russian ships slowed down the ship about 1.5 nautical miles near the coast.

"Come here now!" The deputy captain looked at the Austrian warship that began to turn 3 nautical miles away with a provocative look.

The Austro-Hungarian warships did stop, but they did not dare to enter Spanish territorial waters as the Russians imagined. Instead, Admiral Yankel was worried that the warship would be stranded. After the modification, the "Markensen" class draught increased by nearly 1 meter, reaching more than 11 meters, which was much greater than the draft of the Russian ship.

"We suspect that there are illegal items on your ship, and orders you to stop the ship and accept the inspection!" The Austro-Hungarian battleship intermittently sent out Morse bright light signals.

"No, maybe! You are war, war, behavior!" The Red Ural replied.

The two warships were fighting back and forth, and no one was to be outdone. The Russian fleet was blocked in this bay, and the telegram had been sent out. The whole incident shocked Moscow. While the Kremlin was urgently discussing countermeasures, the situation in this unknown bay in Spain changed drastically.

Several balls of fire suddenly rose from the two Austro-Hungarian battleships. At the same time as the explosion came, the four large warships opened fire on the Russian ships at the same time!

Huge columns of water rose around the Russian ship, shrapnel flying around, jingling on the warships.

"They are attacking us!" Orlov's face turned pale.

"This is war!" said Karesh, "Start fight back!"

The Russian ships began to fight back with their four 152mm main guns and began to run around in the bay to avoid the dense rain of bullets. The two destroyers simply rushed directly to the coast. The "Red Ural" was quickly hit by two shells and the warship caught fire. However, the Austro-Hungarian battleship only used high-explosive bombs. Although they would not cause fatal damage to the hull, they were extremely destructive to the superstructure.

In a panic, the "Red Ural" suddenly dropped its speed, and the bottom of the ship made a huge friction sound. Unfortunately, it ran aground again.
