Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The sudden appearance of fire was not only seen by the John Empire, but also by the fleet of the Hans Empire that was chasing behind them.

The Hans Empire is wondering why its ships are running so fast and why they appear behind the John Empire.

However, after Reinhard ruled it out, all the warships on his side were still there, which meant that the three ships that had just exploded were not warships of the Hans Empire.

The question then becomes, whose ship is that?

John Jellicoe on the other side heard the report from the Giant that they had accidentally sunk three Bactrian Empire transport ships, and he felt numb all over.

"Damn! A bunch of pigs! Can't you confirm the opponent's identity before firing!" John Jellicoe cursed loudly in the command room of the Elizabeth battleship.

His curses left the surrounding fleet deputy commander David Beatty speechless for a while.

In such a dark night, how can you tell the identity of the other party?

Moreover, if you ask yourself, will the other party tell you?

Another point, didn’t those Daxia Empire fleets run away long ago? Why did he suddenly appear behind them?

Only Xu Changxing, who was 30 nautical miles south of the battlefield, heard the sound of the success of the "Ancho Project" coming from the radio, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yes, this series was planned by Xu Changxing.

He first led the entire Daxia Empire transport fleet through the Hans Empire's fleet, and while the two sides were fighting, he ordered three cargo ships loaded with large amounts of ammunition to turn around immediately.

With a distance of 20 nautical miles from the battle battlefield, a light blackout was implemented and went around behind John's imperial fleet.

Originally, he planned to just insert himself into the battlefield and be destroyed by the John Empire on purpose.

However, what surprised Xu Changxing was that the three ships he sent had just arrived behind the John Empire fleet, and the John Empire fleet in front was preparing to retreat.

This time, there was no need to even break in. Xu Changxing ordered the three ships to stop directly behind John's imperial fleet.

Sure enough, when John's Imperial Fleet completed its U-turn, the three ships were discovered.

The soldiers of the John Empire who had just experienced a naval battle thought that the fleet of the Hans Empire also appeared behind them, so they directly launched an attack on the black shadow.

The consequences were as Xu Changxing expected. The three cargo ships were hit by the John Empire's fleet without any accident.

The cargo ship loaded with ammunition was penetrated by artillery and caused the ammunition to explode.

The flames soaring into the sky can be seen clearly from dozens of nautical miles away. This is the "Angler Plan" planned by Xu Changxing. Its meaning is to take the initiative to bait John's empire's fleet like an angler fish.

Although he didn't want to admit it, his fleet sank the transport ship of the Great Xia Empire, and John Jellicoe wanted to shoot him.

He knew very well what it meant for the John Empire to sink the Daxia cargo ship.

But he didn't have the energy to care about this now, because the fleet of the Hans Empire behind him was catching up again.

Therefore, John Jellicoe ordered that the fleet continue to move forward and withdraw to John's Empire first.

It has to be said that the warships of the John Empire are still very powerful, and their full retreat speed is no slower than that of the Hans Empire.

Even faster than the Hans Empire.

This caused the Hans Imperial Fleet led by Reinhard to chase further and further away. In the end, Reinhard could only watch as John Jellicoe's Imperial Fleet of John gradually fell out of his sight.

At this time, the first ray of sunshine in the morning finally shines on the sea again.

Until this time, the 10-hour Battle of Jutland ended in an anticlimactic manner.

In fact, neither side achieved significant results, and neither side's main battleships were lost.

On the John Empire side, some capital ships only need a little repair before they can go to the battlefield again.

As for the Hans Empire, it only needs some simple repairs.

But the significance of this naval battle is extraordinary.

First of all, after the incident, the Daxia Empire paid close attention to the incident of three cargo ships being sunk, strongly condemned it, and expressed condolences to the imperial crew members who were injured and sacrificed in this incident.

Regarding the initiator of the matter, John Jellicoe, the fleet commander of John Empire, expressed the hope that John Empire would deal with it strictly.

However, John Empire said that this matter cannot be regarded as John Empire's responsibility.

Even if there is a responsibility, then John Empire should not bear the main responsibility.

John Empire presented three pieces of evidence to prove his innocence.

First of all, John Empire stated that the North Sea east of the British Isles was originally a war zone.

According to the note previously announced by Empire John, third-party ships should be prohibited from traveling in the war zone.

However, the Daxia Empire's fleet, despite the Royal Navy's obstruction, insisted on crossing the safety line and entering the warring waters. For this, the Daxia Empire should be responsible for its own recklessness.

Second, the Daxia Imperial Fleet ignored the warnings of the Imperial Royal Navy and insisted on crossing the safety line, which inherently violated imperial law.

The Imperial Royal Navy originally had the right to sink the Bactrian transport ship, but considering the friendly relationship between the Empire and Bactria, the Royal Navy only pursued it at first and did not conduct an attack.

Until they met the North Sea Fleet of the Hans Empire.

The North Sea Fleet knew that there were Daxia transport ships in the fighting area, but still chose to go to war, so the Hans Empire should also be responsible.

The third point is the doubt, why did the merchant ship that had passed through the Hans Imperial Fleet appear behind the Imperial Navy?

Is there any other hidden secret in this?

Although the John Empire did not explicitly state the third point, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was the John Empire accusing the Great Xia Empire of digging a hole for them.

Regarding the three points raised by John Empire, Gu Xianzhi, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Xia Empire, refuted and answered at a press conference held in the capital.

The first is about why imperial cargo ships appeared in the North Sea. This was a normal business behavior of the Daxia Empire.

The Empire is not at war with the Entente or Central Powers, so the Empire enjoys access to the high seas around the world.

When the empire conducts normal trade with the Hans Empire or the John Empire, no third country has the right to interfere, let alone arbitrarily designate so-called restricted areas for the empire.

If restricted areas can be designated at will, will the empire still do business?

Today, your John Empire has designated a so-called restricted area for Daxia, so that the empire cannot trade with the Hans Empire. So, can the Hans Empire also draw a forbidden area at will to prevent the empire from trading with the John Empire?

As soon as Gu Xianzhi finished speaking, a reporter from the Hans Empire stood up and said to Gu Xianzhi: "I now unilaterally declare that the west of the British Isles, the entire Mediterranean Sea, and the Suez Canal belong to the Hans Empire. restricted area."

Gu Xianzhi smiled slightly at the reporter, and then motioned for the reporter to sit down first.
