Chapter 691 This Is A Misunderstanding (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
The cannons sounded!
After a shot, after a moment of silence, the British fleet fired!

Amidst the rumble of cannons, the whistling shells accurately hit the belly of the Japanese ship, and the violent explosion of the grenade easily tore apart the wooden hull. When the turbulent seawater poured into the cabin, the Japanese fought back.

While the infantry returned fire with rifles, the Japanese navy also responded with naval guns.Although the Japanese naval officers and soldiers headed by the "Tsukuba" gunboat fought back extremely quickly, the tragedy was doomed from the very beginning.

Facing the well-trained British Royal Navy, the Japanese Navy was almost vulnerable. Amidst the rumble of gunfire, the electric Gatling cannon on the British warship also fired. Machine guns can be called the nemesis of wooden-hulled ships, but in the blink of an eye, thousands of shells tore apart the sides of wooden-hulled ships.

The British artillery fire was extremely violent, fully demonstrating the refinement of the Royal Navy's gunnery.One shot after another hit the hull of the Japanese ship, and the exploding shells blasted water columns on the sea surface, and the sea was surging like a boiling pot.

But the most deadly thing was the bloody rain caused by the 30mm grenades hitting the deck, and the place where the shells passed was full of blood and blood.Hundreds of shells pierced through the bodies of the soldiers of the Hiroshima Zhentai Army, exploding clouds of explosive smoke in the splash of blood mist, and the fragments of the explosion once again rolled up countless broken flesh and blood.

"Crash..."

The icy sea water poured into the cabin from the side of the blasted ship, instantly tilting the injured ship.The severely flooded hull kept tipping over to the side, and soon, the entire ship turned over, and the heavy hull quickly sank underwater.The Japanese army and navy soldiers on board fell into the icy sea water one by one like dumplings.

The sea water in January is very cold, and there are even some ice floes on the sea surface, but the soldiers of the Japanese army and navy wear thick clothes, after they fell into the water.The winter military uniforms on their bodies were immediately soaked in the sea water, making them stand out one by one. They couldn't swim out of the sea in a hurry, and they were dragged into the bottom of the sea by the heavy quilts.

Amidst the violent explosion, the hull of "Xishan Maru" made a "creaking" sound, and then fell apart!
"Abandon ship, abandon ship..."

Before abandoning the ship, Nozu Michikan fell into the water. Like the others, the woolen military uniform on his body became heavier than lead after falling into the water. He could only struggle with all his strength.

One Japanese ship after another was sunk. In addition to sailors, those ships carried hundreds of Hiroshima soldiers. Each ship was like a town floating on the sea. There were seven or eight hundred people, and at most there were thousands of people. With the sinking of the ship, the sea was full of appalling appearances.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Japanese army and navy sank into the icy seabed without even struggling. Only a few lucky ones grabbed driftwood, struggled desperately in the icy sea, and shouted for help.

After struggling for a while, more people became stiff due to the rapid drop in body temperature, and then gave up struggling, and slowly sank into the bottom of the sea like that.

There are also hundreds of Japanese army and navy officers and soldiers who were hit by shells falling on the sea, and in the violent explosion, they turned into piles of minced meat floating on the sea.

The water column raised high during the explosion was white, with red in the white, it was red flesh and blood!
In this way, the blood color quickly spread on the sea surface, and then was blown up without a trace in the rising water column of the explosion.

There is more yellow on the sea!
That's the yellow color of the picric acid bomb!

It dyes the sea yellow, and in the yellow there is some red,
The shelling is still going on, on this sea of ​​yellow and red, blood and fire.The sound of cannons rumbled, and the cloud of smoke from the explosion rolled back and forth on the sea surface. While the flames rose into the sky, fragments of limbs were blown into the sky everywhere.

Hundreds of mutilated corpses floated and sunk among the countless boards on the sea surface.

And between those floating wooden boards, every face was full of despair.

This sea is no longer the sea, but the sea of ​​death!

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and all the ships of the Japanese Navy were sunk. Tens of thousands of Japanese army and navy officers and soldiers sank into the sea with the ships, and only less than a thousand people were rescued in the end.

Hiroshima Township, the "Fifth Division" known to the Chinese people in another world because of the Anti-Japanese War, that is, the famous Itagaki Division, has not been able to go to the battlefield, and it is in its infancy. The Chinese fleet was sent to the icy bottom.

This bud was just... crushed!

……

In the morning of the next day, the "Rear Shock Army" was attacked by the British Royal Navy. When the news of the entire army's annihilation reached Tokyo, Iwakura was stunned for a few minutes, and then his shoulders collapsed.

"Has Great Britain declared war on Japan?"

The answer is of course no. Iwakura Tomohiro immediately summoned the British Minister to Japan, Bacharley. As soon as he met, he immediately criticized the British for violating the national law by bombarding Japanese ships in peacetime. He hoped that the British would The government gives an explanation.

Faced with Iwakura's protest, Pashaley just shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said.

"It all stems from a misunderstanding!"

"what!"

Iwakura Tomomi's eyes widened in astonishment, he simply couldn't believe the other party's words.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is just a misunderstanding. According to the telegram from General Raeder, after they encountered your fleet at sea, considering that there was a British captain among them, in order to prevent the British from getting involved in your country's conflict, Radell Admiral Dell ordered your fleet to stop. After many orders, you not only refused to obey, but also opened fire on the British fleet. Since it was attacked, the Royal Navy of course fought back. Of course, it turns out that this...was a misunderstanding !"

Bacharley's arrogant answer almost didn't let Iwakura Toshikan swallow his breath, and almost died of anger.

What is arrogance? Now he has finally seen the arrogance of the great powers and their arrogance.

The death of tens of thousands of Japanese army and navy!
In their eyes... a misunderstanding!
"Mr. Minister, is this the way the British treat Japan? Your barbaric behavior will definitely be condemned by the whole world. You are massacring!"

Iwakura shouted angrily.

"You are helping Tokugawa Shigeru with massacre! Misunderstanding, this is just"

"Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, this is a misunderstanding, but I do believe it!"

Pashaley looked at Iwakura Gushi in front of him, and said in an extremely flat tone.

"If it wasn't your people who shot at us, how could this misunderstanding happen? In the final analysis, the responsibility for this incident lies with you Japanese yourself."

In Bacharley's view, there was no suspense at all in this matter, and it was the Japanese who opened fire first.The Royal Navy was then forced to fight back.

"If it wasn't for the reason, we feel that all of this is likely to be a cognitive misunderstanding. Instead, you should give us compensation. After all, you fired at our fleet. Of course, since all this is a misunderstanding, then compensation There is no need."

In an instant, Iwakura was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the British to be so brazen.

What is he saying?
He actually wanted Japan to compensate Britain for its losses, so what about the Japanese?
What about the Japanese Army and Navy officers and soldiers who were killed by the British Navy?

what are they?
Did they just die in vain?
Iwakura Gusan's heart was full of anger, he glared at Pacharley, and said almost word for word.

"Mr. Minister, is this your attitude towards this matter? Or is this the way Britain conducts international affairs?"

Facing his questioning, Bacharley nodded.

"From the British point of view, this is just a misunderstanding!"
