The international is a place of deceit, all forces follow the law of the jungle, and for the interests of the country and the organization, they fight with each other openly and secretly.

When Hu Zhen trained the Indians to divide the country, the Americans were not idle, and after some efforts, they finally stabilized the domestic financial market, and the Indians, because they received Hu Zhen's assistance to strengthen training and improve the quality of armed personnel, temporarily stopped harassing operations.

After the situation gradually stabilized, the minds of the Chinese people were not sober, and when they saw that the Chinese people were making rapid progress in digging the Panama Canal, the entire political circles of the United States were even more boiling, and they were eager to immediately expel the forces of the Chinese Guild from the Caribbean region of the Americas.

Although intrigue between the countries is the norm, what Hu Zhen didn't expect was that the people of the United States couldn't wait to start militarily in less than three months.

Late that night, Hu Zhen was suddenly woken up by a nuclear submarine communicator, saying that the Mi army would arrive at about six o'clock after dawn and attack the Huaxia fleet.

This was the first action of the Chinese people, attempting to attack the Chinese army fleet off the port of Colon in the Panama Canal Zone by means of a sneak attack, in an attempt to defeat in one fell swoop the Chinese army, which had only fought a major battle with the Spaniards four months earlier and seemed to have not yet recovered.

Although the Huaxia Army has been stationed in the Panama Canal Zone for more than two months, it has not relaxed its vigilance against the United States, especially the nuclear submarines that followed Hu Zhen to salvage the gold and silver treasures on the ancient shipwrecks on the Caribbean Sea to increase the wealth that Hu Zhen controls, and is also responsible for guarding the United States.

Having learned the lessons of the Hawaiian naval battle, the nuclear submarine has turned up its radar and sonar to the maximum and is now powered on 24 hours a day, closely monitoring every move in the nearby sea.

The huge sneak attack fleet of the United States sailed in a neat column, and unlike the single civilian ships on the sea, it was discovered by the vigilance system of the nuclear submarine more than 150 kilometers away, which gave the Huaxia army a very valuable five hours of preparation time, and the Chinese army could not achieve the purpose of a sudden sneak attack at all.

This time. The Mi fleet was led by Vice Admiral John T. Lang, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, and Rear Admiral Montgomery Sicarr, deputy commander, and consisted of 6 battleships and 15 cruisers:

Oregon, with a displacement of 10,452 tons. Speed 17 knots, main armament: 4 330 mm guns, 8 203 mm guns, 4 152 mm guns, mechanical: twin propellers. Vertical triple-expansion engine.

USS Texas (Texas), displacement 6772 tons, speed 17 knots, main armament: 2 305 mm guns, 2 152 mm guns, mechanical: two propellers, vertical triple expansion engine.

USS Brooklyn (Brooklyn), speed 19 knots, displacement of 10,229 tons, main armament: 8 203 mm guns. Mechanical: twin-propeller, vertical triple-expansion engine.

USS California?, speed 19 knots, displacement of 10,229 tons, main armament: 8 203 mm guns, mechanical: twin propellers, vertical triple expansion engine.

Columbia, speed 17.5 knots, displacement 8402 tons, main armament: 8 203 mm guns. 2 x 150 mm guns, mechanical: three-propeller vertical triple-expansion engine.

New York, with a displacement of 9,165 tons and a speed of 21 knots. Main armament: 8 x 203 mm guns, 12 x 102 mm guns, mechanical: twin propellers, vertical triple expansion engines.

The 15 cruisers had displacements ranging from 1,700 to 6,000 tons, speeds ranging from 16 to 24 knots, and more than 300 guns of various calibers. All cruisers were armed with torpedo armament.

After receiving the urgent information sent back by the nuclear submarine, Hu Zhen even had a few minutes to look at it:

It is estimated that almost this time the United States dispatched the naval strength of the country, the continent where the United States is located has not been subjected to any major military threat in the past hundred years, and most of its main resources have been concentrated to develop the economy, and it has not been as reckless as later generations in the world, so that it is only now that such a little bit of naval power that does not match the industrial strength of the United States at all, if the number of these naval warships is two or three percent more, it is really difficult to withstand a sudden attack on the strength of the Chinese military fleet in the Caribbean.

Moreover, the United States made a serious mistake in the production of warships, it was too confident in its own industrial strength, believing that if a war broke out, it would be able to mass-produce small warships in a short period of time, but it would only develop large warships, so that it could not come up with a small high-speed destroyer or torpedo boat to accompany the operation in the waters near Panama when fighting in the Caribbean region in its own backyard today.

At this time, the forces of the Huaxia Army in the Caribbean were:

The Chinese fleet anchored in the port area of Colón in the Panama Canal Zone included the battleships Dahua, Daxia and Maine, and the armored cruisers Hurricane, Swift Cloud, Thunder, and Swift (5,200 tons of displacement, 4 210 mm guns, 8 120 mm secondary guns, 12 75 mm secondary guns, and a maximum speed of 23.5 knots) that had returned five months ago from the English shipyard, and the cruisers Qilong, Qifeng, Qihu, Qibao, Qiming, Qixing, Qiqi, and Qilei, As well as four destroyers.

Four other destroyers were on defensive duty in the ports of Guantanamo and Puerto Rico.

Judging from the number of ships, the Huaxia fleet was at a significant disadvantage.

After receiving Hu Zhen's notice, Chen Qishan, the first governor of the Panama Canal Zone, and Zheng Dingbang, the navy's commander, hurried to Hu Zhen's residence.

They were all surprised when they heard that the Mi army fleet was coming to attack, but they were also a little lucky:

"Fortunately, Mr. is vigilant against the Mi people, insisting on concentrating the main force of the fleet and anchoring in Panama, if it is scattered in Guantanamo and Puerto Rico, it may be broken by the Mi people!"

Hu Zhen said solemnly: "The navy and the army must immediately prepare for battle, and the construction area near the sea on the east side of the canal zone should also suspend construction, issue weapons to the workers, and send officers to form an army for emergency training, as a reserve, ready to participate in land battles at any time!" ”

"Yes, let's go and get ready now!" Chen Qishan and Zheng Dingbang stood up and saluted and then ran back to their respective units.

"What are the chances of this victory?" As soon as the two went out of the door, Hu Zhen asked the nuclear submarine through the communicator.

"50%!"

"Nima's, it's like this every time, doesn't that mean that you haven't said anything?"

"There is no 100% certainty in this world, the fleet strength of the Mi people is five more warships than the Huaxia Army, the artillery is 35% more than ours, the displacement tonnage is 38% more, and the Huaxia Army has a 50% chance of winning is already the highest! That's what my program calculated! ”

"Humph!" (To be continued.) )
