Chapter 411

The entrance to Portsmouth Port is narrow, with a width of less than 300 meters,

but the space inside the port is huge, with a water area 6 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide, enough to accommodate giant ships of the current aircraft carrier level.

So this port has long been home to more than two-thirds of the British Navy's ships.

Among them was the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, which had just completed its first sea trial.

However, today was the day to head to the Red Sea after carrier maintenance.

Although there was some drizzle, there were still naval soldiers and honor guards beating small drums at the port, holding a farewell ceremony.

This is a British tradition.

A British Royal Navy Vice Admiral was giving a passionate speech.

"The Imperial Royal Navy has a glorious history... we once defeated the Dutch invincible fleet,"

"and also defeated the arrogant Hans Empire in World War I and World War II... now, facing the scum of DWS who slaughtered our compatriots,"

"what should we do, brave Royal Navy soldiers...?"

Although all the naval soldiers knew this was just a cliché mobilization,

they still puffed out their chests frantically and roared loudly:

"Blood for blood!!"

The Royal Navy Vice Admiral seemed very satisfied.

"Very good..."

However, what he didn't know was that at this time, the phones inside the base were ringing non-stop.

However, because the soldiers responsible for communication had all gone to listen to the Vice Admiral's speech, no one answered.

And soldiers inside the base were not allowed to carry mobile phones or other communication equipment according to regulations.

So no one knew what was happening.

Instead, inside some ships, some soldiers were repairing equipment, and some were closing cabin doors to sleep.

There were also some talking to each other.

In short, just these ships alone had at least a thousand naval personnel.

Just as the Vice Admiral continued to explain eloquently,

someone at the scene seemed to have heard something and raised their head strangely.

Then, he saw a scene that terrified him immensely.

Dozens of missiles were spraying exhaust flames, rushing toward the base...

The comrade next to him was curious about why his companion was shaking all over, so he followed the other's gaze,

and the next moment he was completely stunned just like the other.

".... Great Royal Navy boys, now is the time for you to conquer the sea...."

The Vice Admiral was still spitting everywhere, gesturing wildly in his speech.

However, when he looked at the audience, he was a bit puzzled: why were the naval boys in front of him all raising their heads to look at him?

Most importantly, why did these boys have expressions of terror on their faces?

"Am I that terrifying?" The Vice Admiral was still confused at this time.

Until a soldier shouted in terror: "Oh, God, it's missiles, a large number of missiles, enemy attack... enemy attack...!"

Hearing him say this, the Vice Admiral immediately looked behind him.

He saw countless missiles in the sky dragging long exhaust smoke, rushing toward the naval base.

Seeing this scene, the Vice Admiral's eyes bulged, completely in disbelief.

But how fast were the missiles? Even if they were dozens of kilometers away, for missiles, they would arrive in an instant.

"Admiral...!"

Seeing the Vice Admiral stunned, one of his subordinate officers immediately tackled him to the ground.

The next moment, the missiles bombarded the base.

Suddenly, boom, boom, boom! Countless explosion sounds rang out,

and then balls of fire rose into the air.

Just one wave of attacks, and some ships docked at the port were damaged.

Even the base itself received a terrifying baptism of missiles.

At this time, the Vice Admiral, who was tackled to the ground, even lost his military cap, and there was quite a bit of rubble on him.

The whole person could be described as in a sorry state.

He lay on the ground looking at the base billowing with thick smoke, simply in disbelief.

The great John Bull was actually attacked.

Who, who had the guts...

Weren't they afraid of a full-scale war with their John Bull?

One must know that their John Bull was also a nuclear-armed country; although the number of their nuclear weapons couldn't compare to the Ugly Nation or the Bear Nation,

it was enough to have a nuclear war with any other country.

In this case, which country dared to attack their John Bull's naval base?

On this point, the Vice Admiral couldn't figure it out at all.

However, soon he had no time to think about it.

The enemy's missiles were like a rain of bullets, flying down from the sky non-stop.

In an instant, the entire base was billowing with smoke everywhere.

Because it was a sudden battle, Portsmouth Naval Base could be said to have no combat preparations at all.

The high-speed machine guns on the ships that could intercept missiles had no time to fire.

For example, the John Bull Type 45 destroyer docked at the port had a 20mm "Phalanx" 6-barrel MK15 close-in weapon system.

However, because no one expected the base to be attacked,

it took several minutes of missile bombardment before the ship's machine guns started to slowly activate.

But by then, the entire Portsmouth Naval Base was already billowing with smoke.

"Oh, God!"

Many British naval personnel who were resting were immediately woken up by the explosion sounds; the huge explosion sounds

made them tremble.

They had no idea what was happening outside.

However, they did know that the cabins were rapidly taking on water.

But when they tried to open the closed cabin doors, they were terrified to find that the doors wouldn't open.

It turned out that the doors had deformed due to the missile bombardment.

So it was extremely difficult for the crew to open the doors.

Seeing this scene, these crew members were desperate; they tried various methods to break the circular glass on the cabin doors to call for help outside.

But some of this glass seemed to be made in the Dragon Nation and couldn't be broken at all.

But the water intake in the cabin was getting more and more serious.

It probably only took less than half a minute for the cabin to be filled with seawater.

All the crew members were pressed against the ceiling of the cabin, desperately breathing that last bit of air.

Just at this moment, a violent explosion sounded again, and a large hole was blown into the deck of this ship,

and the ceiling of the cabin was shaken open with a crack.

Suddenly, those crew members frantically reached their hands out, calling out loudly with mouths full of seawater:

"Help... Help!!"

But the soldiers on this ship were all running for their lives; even if passing soldiers saw those hands reaching out for help,

they only stopped for a moment and then left.

Because they knew that without tools like a cutter, no matter what, they couldn't save these trapped soldiers.

There was only one fate awaiting these people.

Soon, those hands calling for help outside had no more movement.

Leaving only lonely hands.

And this ship, HMSS-31 "Revenge," was also sinking rapidly.

This ship began construction in 1993, was launched in 1998, and entered service in 1999.
