Samuel's answer was expected by Deng Yongjian, because among European countries, the German team attached more importance to the military's sense of honor and advocated iron blood, and recognized the degree of surrender less than other countries. In many adversity battlefields, the German team often could persevere to the end, and the troops that surrendered were generally countries such as France and Italy. Therefore, the Germans were not so easily subdued.

However, before coming, Deng Yongjian was fully prepared and said, "Captain, and everyone, I deeply admire your soldiers' spirit. You are indeed worthy of being Germans. But have you ever thought about it? Your decision is not just for everyone present, but for hundreds of soldiers on this warship. I think they are all excellent soldiers, most of them are still young people. So many of them are not married yet. Do you have the heart to watch these young and excellent soldiers lose their lives like this? Let their parents and families be heartbroken. And Captain Samur, you should have a wife, children and parents. If you die in battle, how sad your family will be? And everyone else, don't you think about your family?"

After listening to Deng Yongjian's words, Samur's face suddenly changed, and the other German officials' faces did not naturally appear, because Deng Yongjian's words did touch them. After all, thinking of the family and soldiers who were far away in China, the sense of honor would fade a lot. After all, this battlefield was not a battle to defend the country, but to fight other countries. Although before departure, domestic mobilization was for the honor of the country, the officers knew that this war had nothing to do with the honor of the country, and to compete for interests.

However, Samur is a typical German. In addition to being rigorous and serious, the Germans have a very distinctive characteristic, which is stubbornness. Therefore, Samur was not so easy to be subdued, and he said firmly: "You must be right. If I die in battle, my family will indeed be very sad, but they will also be proud of me, because I died in battle and did not defile the honor of the Germans. I think the families of other soldiers have the same idea."

Deng Yongjian said in a deep voice: "But you obviously have the chance to survive, and you obviously don't have to die in battle, because in this battle, you have tried your best, and your performance is worthy of the soldiers' Rong Bien." Without waiting for Samur to speak, he rushed to say: "Captain, please tell me honestly, if you fight again in this battle, will you have a chance to win?"

Samur was silent for a long time before finally finishing his head and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Deng, I admit that we really have no chance to win. Your warships and weapons are all better than us."

Deng Yongjian said: "Captain, your honesty deserves my respect. In such a battle with great strength, you have done your best and at the last moment, you have fulfilled the obligation of an excellent soldier. However, defeat is not your responsibility, so surrender is not a shame. Moreover, as a captain, you also have the obligation to let your crew go back alive, because they have the opportunity to survive."

Samur lowered his head again, and after a while, he finished his head and said, "Okay, we need to discuss it again. Please wait on the warship for a while."

Deng Yongjian turned his head and said, "Yes."

The soldier brought Deng Yongjian to the deck. Deng Yongjian first told the boat that was sent over, and went back to the Kunming ship to inform him that he had to wait for a while on the Brandenburg. After the boat left, Deng Yongjian leaned on the side of the ship, lit a cigarette, and carefully observed the old battleship.

In the old time and space, battleships were like dinosaurs in ancient times, and had long been extinct. However, this was a powerful weapon that once dominated the world. Because it used simple and crude artillery to fight the bombing combat mode, just when you think about it, it was enough to make people excited.

From Deng Yongjian's perspective, the craftsmanship of this warship is indeed a bit rough, but compared with modern warships, it is full of simple and crude violent aesthetic elements. Because of its scars and bullet holes on the deck, it seems even more barbaric and rough. In contrast, the slender hulls, simple and smooth lines, and automation and information-based weapons are more like an exquisite work of art. This is probably an important reason why many military enthusiasts have always been obsessed with the era of heavy ships and giant cannons. On all well-known military forums in China, "With the development of electromagnetic cannons and laser weapons, will the battleships be resurrected?" are always an eternal topic.

Although Deng Yongjian was a modern soldier, he felt that it was a pity to sink such a warship.

After about half a time, a German soldier came over to invite Deng Yongjian to the command room again. This time, Samuel no longer looked as if he was full of consciousness just now, but looked dejected and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Deng, if we surrender, do you really have the ability to ensure our lives safety?"

Deng Yongjian said seriously: "Of course, the other two warships have defeated your fleet, but they have rescued hundreds of German soldiers from the sea. What do you think we are doing this for? Moreover, we have captured more than 5,000 soldiers from various countries in Tianjin. Now they are all safe. Of course, they will do some work under our arrangements, but reasonable rest time, dietary supply and medical security can be fully guaranteed. Therefore, after surrender, as long as you obey our orders and the arranged work, we can definitely ensure your safety. After the battle is over, we will negotiate with the German government to negotiate to resolve the issue of prisoners of war, and you can return to your country safely."

Samur raised his head and said, "Well, we are willing to surrender."

Deng Yongjian heard this and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Captain Samur, you made a correct decision, and hundreds of German families will appreciate your decision."

Samur said again: "Lieutenant Colonel Deng, I still have one more question. I wonder if you can answer me?"

Deng Yongjian said: "What's the problem?"

Samur said: "Can you tell me if your warships use a weapon to hit our warships underwater besides artillery, and whether they are a new type of torpedo."

Deng Yongjian smiled and said, "Captain, this is a military secret. Please forgive me for not being able to answer your question."

After hearing this, Samur could understand that this is normal in Europe. If a country develops an advanced weapon, it will definitely be an important military secret. It is difficult for him to ask again, so he said, "So can I visit your ship and see what the warship that defeated us is like."

Deng Yongjian said: "I can react like our captain's request, but whether we can agree to your request must be decided by the captain."

After that, Deng Yongjian boarded the boat and returned to the Kunming ship. He was about to persuade Shang Jinfeng and other officers to surrender. After hearing Samur's request, Shang Jinfeng laughed and said, "You can tell him that after returning to Dagukou, he will be allowed to come on the ship to see it, but any questions he raised will not be answered on the grounds of military secrets, so he can see what Mingtang comes from."

The surrender of Brandenburg also put a perfect end to the Battle of the Bohai Sea. At this time, on another battlefield, the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship also rescued all the De soldiers who fell into the water. So five warships, together with four boats, gathered together to escort the captured fleet and return to Dagukou.

It was dusk at this time, but the speed of the transport ship was not fast, and one of the Brandenburg engines was damaged, so the return speed was much slower. It was not until the early morning that the fleet returned to Dagukou.

The battle fleet achieved a comprehensive victory, sinking the battleship Wools, the large ironclad Fertenburg, the cruiser Victoria Louise, the goddess of peace, the Princess William, the coastal defense cruiser Ziegfred, Heimdal, the old ironclad Prussian, Caesar, and four transport ships; the captured battleship Brandenburg, and seven transport ships. The seven captured transport ships had the largest displacement of 500 tons, and the largest exceeded 5,000 tons, of which four were from Germany, each carrying 1,500 army soldiers and supplies ranging from 1,500 to 000 tons; three were joined by Qingdao, and all carried supplies.

Total, there were 817 German soldiers captured, more than 100 war horses, and more than 1,000 tons of various materials seized. The materials were roughly divided into three categories: grain, coal-fired and weapons. Among them, there were about 6,000 tons of various grains, more than 500 tons of coal, and more than 000 tons of various weapons and ammunition. The remaining materials were other materials.

After later detailed statistics, among the seized weapons, the number of Mauser Type 98 rifles reached 77, and there were 60 imitation Maxim machine guns, 45 45 mm machine guns, 5 75 mm howitzers, and 10 100 mm howitzers, and various bullets and shells were of considerable number.
