(The update is the fastest and most stable) As soon as Clausius' words fell, the staff officer next to him said: "Your Excellency, please take back your orders, we must retreat immediately."

Clausius said in amazement: "Withdrawal, why is the great opportunity to sink the warship of Lin Yuan's army now in front of us? Can we let it slip away?"

The staff officer said: "Your Excellency, don't you remember the Sino-Japanese naval battle in Chongjin? In that battle, the Japanese army used a large number of advanced torpedoes. As a result, none of the torpedoes could hit the Lin Yuan warship. The Japanese torpedoes were superior to ours. How could our torpedo hit the battleship Lin Yuan?"

Clausius said angrily: "Your words are completely unreasonable. The battlefield environment we are facing now is completely different from the battlefield environment of the Japanese army at that time.

The staff officer said: "But now the battleship Lin Yuan is launching missiles to attack us. If we try to forcibly approach the battleship Lin Yuan and launch torpedoes, it will be taking our lives for revenge."

Clausius' face sank and the staff officer continued: "It is said that Lin Yuan's battleship is equipped with a series of anti-torpedo systems. Our torpedoes may not be able to hurt them."

Clausius nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's return to our team."

At this moment, the staff officer who was sent to contact Hixon also came back and said, "Your Excellency, Commander Hixon, has issued an order for us to withdraw our team."

Clausius nodded and said: "Send small boats to rescue those who fell into the water, and the other cruisers returned." So several cruisers put down their small boats to rescue those who fell into the water. Deng Shichang saw that this battle sank four British cruisers A battleship did not intend to expand the results of the battle, so they led the battleship back, but they did not return to the base in Sanya because Hong Kong is too far away from Sanya, so they returned to Guangzhou Port

Clausius returned to the team and reported the battle situation to Hixon. Hearing that the four cruisers had been sunk, Hixon felt a pang of pain and thought: "It seems that the missiles of the Linyuan battleship are really powerful. I didn't give it enough before. It really shouldn’t be taken seriously”

Hixon was thinking about the fleet chief of staff Maxwell, so he came over and said, "Your Excellency, may I ask where we are going now?"

Hixon said: "Hong Kong has been occupied by Lin Yuan's troops. We can't go back and now we can only look for another port."

Maxwell said helplessly: "But there are no ports of the Allies nearby. The nearest port is Manila in the Philippines, which is [-] nautical miles away from us. If we go there, it will take a day**"

Hickson shook his head and said, "No way, the Heart of the Ocean needs to dock for repairs, so it's impossible to follow us to Manila."

Maxwell shrugged his shoulders, obviously he didn't know what to do. Hixon asked, "Where did Lin Yuan's battleship go?"

Maxwell said: "Looking at the direction, you should go to Guangzhou Port. Guangzhou Port is the largest port in southern China and the second largest port in the world after Shanghai."

Hixon sighed and said, "Then let's leave the Heart of the Ocean and sail to Japan's Sasebo Naval Port as planned."

Maxwell said: "But, Commander, don't we punish the Chinese? They sank our four cruisers in today's battle?"

Hixon frowned and said, "But how do we punish the Chinese? Can we shoot civilians?"

Maxwell said: "Your Excellency, why don't you remember the first Opium War? At that time, we captured Guangzhou. Now we can still attack Guangzhou in the footsteps of our ancestors. We entered Guangzhou not to attack civilians because Lin Yuan was stationed in Guangzhou Port." Battleship, so Guangzhou is already a military target, why can’t we attack them”

Hixon thought for a while, nodded and said, "Very well, we will attack Guangzhou and order the marines on board the ships to gather and I will speak to them."

Maxwell then went to deliver the news and came back to Hickson and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, you are ready to speak."

Hixon nodded and picked up the communicator at hand. His words will be transmitted through this communicator, and every marine on every battleship will hear his words. Hixon cleared his throat and said solemnly: "The Great Britain Warriors of the Royal Navy of the Empire, the breezy evening this evening reminds me of 58 years ago"

"58 years ago was 1840. At that time, the goods of our British Empire were unreasonably seized and shamelessly burned by the Chinese. Our Royal Navy of the British Empire was forced to travel across the ocean to protect the interests of our merchants in the British Empire. In that war Our ancestors, Wuwei, defeated hundreds of millions of Chinese with thousands of troops."

"But today, 58 years later, we re-entered the coast of China in the footsteps of our ancestors. We are still here for justice and justice. It is well known that Lin Yuan's troops massacred civilians in the Korean Empire. The purpose of coming here is to rescue Those innocent civilians, now I order all troops to take small boats to attack Guangzhou Port and occupy Guangzhou at ten o'clock this evening."

All the marines cheered in unison. Hixon said loudly: "May the Almighty and Merciful Lord forgive the souls of the Chinese people, Amen."

At 20:[-] in the evening, more than [-] marines sailed to Guangzhou Port in small boats. Three Queen Elizabeth-class battleships followed behind to serve as fire support. When they were more than [-] kilometers away from the waterway entering the port, the radar in Guangzhou Port spotted them. They immediately sent a message to the Guangzhou Port Garrison

In the establishment of Lin Yuan's troops, the defense of ports and places is in charge of the garrison troops. The designations of these garrison troops are the first garrison division, the second garrison division, etc. to distinguish the main army divisions such as the first division and the second division. The garrison troops are actually reserve forces. Usually there are only officers and a small number of soldiers in the army. Once the threat of war comes, the reservists will be incorporated into the army.

When Lin Yuan first received the news of the arrival of the Far East Fleet, he ordered all the garrison divisions along the coast to enter a state of combat readiness, and all the reservists were in place. Today happened to meet the British marines attacking Guangzhou Port.
