Another World: Naval Storm

"The empire has spent so much money, and you are so vulnerable?" The German Emperor's roar echoed in the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, our losses are not serious. This time it was due to the sneak attack of the Talen people! We won't be so lucky next time!" Piltz explained.

"Do you know that the Talen people are cheering for the victory of this battle? The Empire has lost face!"

"Your Majesty, then we will find an opportunity to save our reputation!"

"You can only dispatch the Ocean Fleet if you are absolutely sure!" The German Emperor was unwilling to let the weak navy with no chance of winning take risks. In his opinion, after the Imperial Army defeated the Franconian Republic, a fully-powered Ocean Fleet would become a major bargaining chip in the peace talks. So the German Emperor ordered the fleet to avoid dispatching if it was not sure.

"Of course! Your Majesty!" No one could guarantee how the war would turn out, but Piltz could only appease the emperor first.

The returning Leo fleet had just finished replenishing in Chile, Pampas and other countries in South America. These countries did not participate in the war and the relationship between the two sides was pretty good.

Leo is furious after learning that the Drake Navy is adopting a defensive strategy after losing the first battle.

"After a small defeat, the Ocean Fleet will not be dispatched again? If so, why spend so many gold marks?"

"Perhaps the Empire wants to preserve its strength!"

"Save our strength? Taren's shipbuilding ability is stronger than ours. The longer we delay, the less chance we have of winning! We may still win if we fight a decisive battle now, but later..." Leo's face was filled with depression.

"kindness?"

"What's wrong, General?"

"Nothing!" From the God's perspective, red dots showed that a hostile fleet was heading towards Leo's fleet, and there were several neutral ships with yellow dots following behind not far away.

"Order the fleet to prepare for battle. The opportunity to avenge the Imperial Navy has come!"

"Yes! General!" Having followed Leo for many years, Dawson really believed that Leo was blessed by the goddess of luck. After all, many things cannot be explained by science.

Originally, Leo didn't encounter any trouble on his way eastward. After all, Leo's fleet had 3 battlecruisers and 5 cruisers. Its huge size made the patrol fleets of countries such as Talen and Fran dare not cause trouble for them.

The other two light cruisers of Leo's fleet were sent by Leo to the Bharata Ocean to carry out a war of breaking up commerce.

"Haha, they can't run away!" Leo laughed heartily when he saw the column of smoke.

The "they" Leo was referring to were the 4th Cruiser Squadron of the West Borneo Islands Fleet led by Rear Admiral Christopher Clark of the Talen Navy.

The fleet consisted of four warships, including the Drake-class armored cruiser HMS Cape of Good Hope, the Monmouth-class armored cruiser HMS Monmouth, the Bristol-class light cruiser HMS Glasgow and an armed merchant ship.

"How is this possible? God is not on our side!" Cradock exclaimed as he watched Leo's fleet approaching.

"General, give the order now! Fight or flee!"

"Are you blind? How can we possibly defeat this? Let the fleet disperse and escape, every ship that can escape will be the best!"

Three Drake battlecruisers were enough to destroy his fleet, not to mention the five cruisers of various types waiting nearby.

"Intercept! We can't let them get away!" Leo gave the order, and a battlecruiser and two cruisers chased the fleeing Taren warships respectively.

The Von der Tann, where Leo was, quickly caught up with the armed merchant ship, but he ignored it and let the two accompanying cruisers deal with the armed merchant ship.

The armed merchant ship only has a nice name, but its combat effectiveness is incomparable to that of a warship. After a burst of naval gun fire, the armed merchant ship sank to the bottom of the sea. The Drakes did not take any other action against the surviving Talen sailors. After all, the navy is more civilized than the army.

"Bang bang!"

It was still a hit on the first shot. Leo's title of God of Guns was deeply loved by the people. This shot directly sent one of the main guns of the Cape of Good Hope into the sky. The Cape of Good Hope did not dare to slow down and used firepower to retaliate in an attempt to slow down von der Tann's speed. Von der Tann, who had taken advantage, would not miss this opportunity and chased after the Cape of Good Hope despite its sparse firepower.

Half an hour later, the badly damaged Cape of Good Hope raised the white flag.

"Let them get away in the lifeboats and sink it with torpedoes!"

"Yes, General!" The entire Taren cruiser detachment was wiped out, not a single ship escaped, and more than 1500 Taren men were killed, while the Leo fleet only suffered three injuries.

[Dear Commander, you have won a glorious victory]

"Report the results of the battle to the Empire. I believe this will help Lord Piltz regain some face. Our Emperor is not someone who is easy to deal with!"

Indeed, Leo's victory reduced the blame on Piltz a lot, and Emperor Wilhelm also smiled.

"Leo did a great job. He lived up to the Empire's training!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! He is the best admiral the empire has ever seen!"

"Oh? Better than you? My Navy Minister!" The German Emperor was now in the mood to make a joke.

"Of course, my majesty! I have never achieved so many results since I joined the army! I believe he can bring endless good news to the empire!"

"I'm looking forward to it too!"

"The Talens should be crying now, this time they suffered more losses than us!" This time Leo destroyed two armored cruisers and a light cruiser, while Draco only lost a light cruiser last time. The other severely damaged light cruiser did not sink, but was towed back to the naval base for overhaul by other ships.

"They will be very angry and may send more warships to intercept Leo!"

"I believe Leo will bring the fleet back!"

The Talen people were furious when they heard that a fleet had been annihilated. They ordered the ships in Stanley Port, which was closest to Leo's fleet, to set out to block Leo.

"That's great, that's great! The kingdom's just-raised spirit is about to be weakened again by the Drakes!" Prime Minister Balfour of Tarun was somewhat shocked.

"General, I believe the Royal Navy will get back at the throne. After all, the Ocean Fleet has been blocked and cannot get out! As long as the Far East Fleet is found, the Royal Navy will sink them!" Navy Minister Fisher was very confident about this.

"According to intelligence, this fleet has three battlecruisers!" Admiral Gavin was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, the fleet we sent out is not weak!" This is indeed the case. Stanley Port came out in full force. Talen sent a large fleet consisting of 3 battlecruisers, 3 armored cruisers, and 3 light cruisers to hunt down the Leo fleet. The commander was Vice Admiral Dewiton-Sturdy, who had wanted to fight the Drakes for a long time, and this time his chance had come.

"Liam, I want to see if the person you admire is so powerful!"
