The Dunitz aircraft carrier fleet and Cunningham's aircraft carrier fleet fought a large-scale hard-to-hard maritime decisive battle of more than three hours; in the end, Cunningham lost 16 ships again and Dunitz lost 9 ships, and ended the naval battle.

However, the number of carrier-based aircraft lost by Denitz was as high as 100, while Cunningham was even worse, with a loss rate of 386, almost annihilated one-third of the carrier-based aircraft that took off and attacked his aircraft carrier fleet.

As for Denitz's submarine force, it lost 16, while Cunningham and their aircraft carrier fleet also lost 8 submarines.

Because Cunningham and others dispatched to assist in the war, the German submarine troops used their main energy to deal with British and American destroyers and transport fleets in other waters.

Therefore, the number of submarines lost by both sides is not very large.

When the British and American aircraft carrier fleets completed their decisive battle with the German aircraft carrier fleet, night had quietly descended to the earth, covering the entire boundless Mediterranean.

"I have already persuaded you not to act recklessly. Today we have lost so many ships and carrier-based aircraft; how do you say we report and explain to Commander Ehausenwell and Prime Minister Churchill after we go back?"

When the battle at sea was over, Sir Charles Morton Forbes came to Andrew Brown Cunningham and whispered.

"I said that all the consequences will be borne by me. Do you still remember the famous speech by Prime Minister Churchill?"

"Although we fail in this battle, we will never surrender, we will never surrender, we will fight to the end, we will fight in France, we will fight on the ocean, we will fight in the air with confidence! We will defend the land at any cost, we will fight on the beach! We will fight on the enemy's landing site! We will fight in the fields and on the streets! We will fight in the mountains! We will never surrender at any time. Even if the majority of our island or the island is occupied by the enemy and trapped in hunger, our overseas empires armed and protected by the British fleet will continue to fight..."

"From the future, we must be fully prepared and be prepared to endure more serious difficulties. For defensive wars, we must not think that the situation is foregone conclusion! We must rebuild the expeditionary force, we must rebuild the expeditionary force, we must strengthen national defense, reduce domestic defense forces, and increase overseas strike forces. In this war, France and Britain will unite and never surrender!"

Cunningham smiled indifferently about Sir Forbes's speech and said loudly again the content of Churchill's famous speech delivered in the House of Commons on June 4, 1940.

And at that moment, there seemed to be a feeling of relief in his heart, which made him suddenly feel very relaxed and comfortable all over.

Especially the big stone that had been suppressing in my heart also relaxed at that moment.

He left no pressure and everything returned to his most relaxed state, which made him fearless.

"You! I have known you for so long, and you are still so stubborn. As long as you think it is the right thing, you will do it regardless of your care. Even if you have to pay a lot of money, you will do it!"

Sir Forbes smiled bitterly.

"Well! To achieve your goal, you need a persistent belief and action, right?"

Cunningham responded with a smile on his face.

"Maybe! Most of the things you do are right anyway!"

"But this battle, are we too reckless and paying too much price! I wonder what kind of trump cards they have not yet taken out in the German army that had fought with us!"

"I'm really worried that Hitler's demon, I don't know where to get a lot of new weapons and equipment, and attack us with people and catch us off guard!"

Sir Forbes suddenly said worriedly.

"Let's deal with each other! I think our final battle will not be worse than what we are now. We have suffered a large number of officers and soldiers and weapons and equipment one after another!"

"It's the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force; if that's the case, what else can we be afraid of!"

"The casualties of the army have reached tens of thousands. You see, the price of such heavy casualties is probably comparable to that of the moment when France fell; I think we have never tried to report more severe casualties than such casualties and losses!"

"Are you right? Sir Forbes!"

Cunningham shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"this......"

Sir Forbes said speechlessly for a moment.

Because Cunningham is right, their casualties have not surpassed the battle of Sicily and the number of casualties added to the current battle of the Mediterranean.

"Hey! I haven't drunk a lot of wine for a long time. The night sky on the sea seems to be pretty good tonight. Why don't you go with me and have some snacks and see the stars?"

Cunningham suddenly felt in a good mood when he was speechless, and he suggested with a bright smile as if he was a child.
