Chapter 121 Hero's End 2
After eating "wood" and "stone" for dozens of days, when Yang Yonglin made this suggestion again, Hippel did not directly answer, but asked back: "Have Guan Yang taken you to consider your own way of retreat?"
"We fight to the end for reasons. The ship sinks and the people die!" Yang Yonglin's answer was extremely simple, and he vowed not to surrender. In history, Yang Yonglin finally ended his life with a bullet. This time, the path he arranged for himself would take more decent and more vigorously!
"You have done your best for this country, and such a corrupt government is not worthy of allegiance. You have almost a natural intuition about naval warfare. If you change to a broader stage, you will have a greater future for development. And you may not end well if you stay in the Qing Dynasty." Hippel said seriously.
"A broader stage? Haha, how dare the defeated people say bravery? The ship is there, and the ship is dead." Yang Yonglin said with a wry smile.
"Go to Germany, our Prince admires officers like you very much, and if you agree, after the battle, you and your subordinates will be asylumed by the German government. As well as your family, and even your future path, His Prince has arranged it, and you can teach at the Kiel Naval School. Your level and record are completely worthy of this position."
Ruprecht admires the hero very much, and whenever he can, it is okay to help arrange the way out of his way. So before leaving, Ruprecht told Hiper about his thoughts. After all, the latter was a Bavarian, so it would be more at ease to leave it to him. As a comrade who had been fighting for such a long time, and after gnawing the dark and hard bread and the beef jerky that needed to be processed with a file, Hiper was willing to help out from the perspective of his friend.
"Think about it, we will fight to the last moment! The glory of Kaiyuan will be maintained! But after the battle, I hope you can go to Germany with me, even for temporary refuge. I will entertain you and your family at my home in Bavaria. Even His Highness the Prince will invite you to the palace." Finally, Hippel said sincerely.
"Yang Guandai, it's the Japanese fleet!" When Yang Yonglin was about to reject Hippel again, an officer pointed at Yanzhu, who was gradually becoming clear in the distance and said loudly.
"I can't leave!" As the figure of the Japanese fleet gradually became clear, almost everyone realized that the last moment had arrived! Following the formation of the Japanese fleet, Yang Yonglin and others could even distinguish the models of these warships.
The first ship is naturally the first-class cruiser of Kasumi, and the second is the second-class cruiser of Takasago. Although the tonnage is much smaller, its firepower is very fierce. The third ship is Chiyoda, and the fourth ship is Akishi. The elite Japanese Navy gathered together! The average speed is above 19 knots! It is ten o'clock in the morning now! The weather is clear and the visibility is also very high. God is not good at it. The other party can fight and run, and the number is crushing. He doesn't even have enough shells on his side! How can such a bomb win?
"Haha, if I can survive, I really want to go to Germany and visit the birthplace of the Kaiyuan cruiser. I will bring its battle flag back to the place where it was born. A real warrior should return to his hometown." Yang Yonglin sighed in his heart.
"The fleet is ready to take the battle!" At the last moment, the Kaiyuan staggered a U-shaped route on the sea. Since it could not escape, then face it! "The warship concentrated all its firepower to attack the Chiyoda!" Even in the battle situation where it was bound to be defeated, Yang Yonglin still made the most rational and correct choice!
If Kaiyuan can finally sink an opponent's battleship! Then it can only be Chiyoda! Don't think about Kasumi. Kaiyuan, which is now yellow and only one-third blue, may not be able to beat Kasumi, which is full of blood and demons. Takasago seems to be a delicious target, but he is too agile and has strong output. The protection of the core cabin is also good. He can at least run if he can't beat it. The Akashi is located at the end of the formation. Although it is a third-class cruiser, its displacement is not low, and the key is that it can run away even if the situation is not good.
But Chiyoda is different! This ship has the smallest tonnage! It only has about 2,400 tons! In other words, it is the shortest blood bar! Although it is called an armored cruiser, the defense of this warship can only be described as haha! There is basically no problem of not being able to penetrate! The most important thing is that there is a problem with the power system of this ship! Perhaps the price given by the Japanese was too low, and even the British could not bear it anymore, so they secretly replaced the original warship boiler with a train boiler. Among these four warships, Chiyoda has the longest age! It is also in the worst condition! At this time, who do you want to hit?
"Here!" Shiki Kazuki personally directed the Kazuki. When he watched the scarred Kaiyuan go towards its final fate like the Nordic gods at dusk, Shiki Kazuki had to say the word "Submission"! "Shiki Kazuki Kazuki ordered the fleet to fire 21 salutes!" 21 salutes were almost the treatment of a head of state! Although the Japanese were brutal, some people respected the real warriors.
The 6-pound cannons of the four warships acted as salutes in this special "concierge" mission. Although it was messy, it was still solemn in this solemn atmosphere. At this time, Shirashan Ziji could claim that he was the winner, and the opponent had exhausted his energy, and even the shells might not be enough. The champagne to celebrate the victory could be placed on the dining table, but at this moment he hesitated!
"We can persuade the surrender and then capture this warship, and I can guarantee the rights and interests of the captured people on behalf of the British Navy. I think your country should have no meaning for this, right?" Colonel Ingles, who was accompanying the ship, suggested that in the face of this suggestion, Huashan Ziji was really moved!
Although the battleship "super god" in front of him was made by the Japanese! At least nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers' life and death have a direct or indirect relationship with it. But this is really a good ship! Especially in the current situation, such a warship has an inestimable value.
"They will not surrender. raising such a request to such a warrior is an insult to the warriors and an insult to our IQ!" Captain Kasuhira Hirai said, shook his head and said.
The captain was right. Yang Yonglin and others were not fools. They should have known the ending after the last battle. If they wanted to survive, then just drive the ship to a neutral port, and then disarm decently wait for the war to end. But they didn't! The warship continued to bite the Japanese transportation line like a crazy dragon! Until yesterday! The blood vessel that maintained the Japanese army front was still bleeding!
"But there are Germans on it! They have no reason to fight the Qing Dynasty to the end!" Ingles said.
"Okay, don't worry about these things. No matter what the Germans think, this warship has made a decision! He decided to fight to the end! We should respect their choice!" At this time, the battle flag on the Kaiyuan, who was about to take the enemy, has been raised! Huashan Ziji eliminated all distractions and prepared for the final battle of this war!
Chapter completed!
