When Hu Zhen got the news of the dispatch of the Mi fleet, the Mi flotilla was already approaching Hawaii and could appear in the waters of Honolulu in a day at most.

That night, Hu Zhen saw the video of the 11 ships of the Mi Army fleet taken by the drone at high altitude in the secret room, and called up the data of the supercomputer system for analysis.

The nuclear submarine was very contemptuous of the Mi army: "Rest assured, the current Mi ** team is not the world's strongest army in the future, there is no need to have any fear of the Mi ** team, although the Mi military ships that came this time are more than our ships, but as long as we dispatch and command properly, we can completely annihilate the Mi armada!" ”

"Hmph, don't talk big about it, is there a battle plan in the supercomputer system to destroy the U.S. fleet?" Hu Zhen was not afraid of the Mi army at this time, but he still kept telling himself to be careful.

"There is a naval battle plan! Master, please call it out. ”

Hu Zhen called up the four plans designed by the supercomputer, looked at them for a while, and decided: "I'll choose the third combat plan." ”

"Attention master, the third combat scenario is the most risky for you."

"But if this plan can be implemented smoothly, the benefits will be the greatest, so that not a single ship of the US military can escape back!"

"However, this is just a dead plan, if the Mi fleet does not come as we expected, these plans will all fail!"

"Then it's time to adjust it on the spot!"

"Alright then, I wish the master a victorious start to this battle!"

Hu Zhen found Zheng Dingbang and handed him the information on the eleven ships of the Mi fleet.

"The Mi army fleet is really here!"

Zheng Dingbang hurriedly took the information on the Mi military ship in Hu Zhen's hand and looked at it carefully:

The cruiser Boston and its sister ship Atlanta, displacement 3024 tons, speed 16.33 knots, main armament: 2 203mm, 6 152mm guns, launched in December 1884, dimensions: 86m×13m×5m, mechanical: single-propeller horizontal composite engine.

Cruiser Charleston (Charleston) with a displacement of 3730 tons. The speed was 18.9 knots, and the main armament: 2 203mm guns, 6 152mm guns, launched in January 1888. Dimensions: 97.4m× 14m×6m, mechanical: twin propeller, horizontal composite engine.

The cruiser USS Chicago (Chicago) has a displacement of 4942 tons and a speed of 16.3 knots. Main armament: 4 x 203mm, 8 x 152mm guns, launched in December 1885, size: 104m× 15m×6m, mechanical: twin propellers, composite beam engine.

Armored cruiser USS Baltimore, displacement 4413 tons, 4 35x203mm guns, 6 x 30x4 6-inch (152mm) guns, speed 21.5 knots.

The cruiser Enterprise and its sister ships Dahlgren and Cushing. The Seattle (Stiletto) has a displacement of 1,397 tons, main armament: 1 280mm, 4 228mm, 134mm guns, launched in June 1874, speed 16 knots, dimensions: 56.3m× 10.6m×4.3m, mechanical: single propeller, horizontal composite reciprocating link engine.

Finally, there are two old ironclad ships built during the Civil War, the USS Manassas and the USS Arkansas, with a displacement of 3,700 tons. Main armament: 2 280mm, 3 155mm, 134mm gun, launched in March 1864. Speed 12 knots.

"Hmph, the people of the United States dare to come to Hawaii to interfere with such a large number of messy ships?" Zheng Dingbang studied at the English Naval Academy, except for a few traditional European naval powers, he really didn't look down on the United States in this era.

Of course, Hu Zhen knew that the GDP of the United States had now surpassed that of England, and said:

"The current fleet of the United States is indeed not as powerful as the English. You also have to ask the English to help you design and build a high-quality warship. However, let's not underestimate these rice people, I am not worried about the Hawaii war now, but I am worried about the rice country after this war, they have the world's first industrial production capacity today, as long as there is a good naval warship design, it will not take two or three years, they will build the world's most powerful naval fleet! ”

"So what do we do?" Zheng Dingbang wanted to say that if our army fled back from Hawaii in disgrace, but on the opposite side was the supreme commander of the Huaxia Army, and how could he dare to say his words.

"It is precisely because of the strong industrial capacity of the Mi people that the battle in Hawaii must annihilate all the Mi fleet, and not even a single Mi soldier who reported the news should not be put back. Go back and get ready! Hu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, he was determined to leave an eternal shadow in the hearts of the people of the United States in this battle, so that the people of the United States would be afraid when they mentioned the Chinese people, and they would not dare to despise the Chinese people.

"Yes!" Zheng Dingbang accepted the order and hurried to the fleet for mobilization and preparation for naval battle.

The ships of the Huaxia Army in Hawaii at the moment have four cruisers and three destroyers, specifically:

The protective cruisers Qiming, Qixing, and Qiqi have a displacement of 3,200 tons, and after returning from the English custom, they have been renovated, unified the caliber of artillery, and equipped with ranging instruments for the fire control system, and now the weapons are equipped with four 155-mm main guns, six 100-mm secondary guns, 12 75-mm secondary guns, and 10 12.7-mm heavy machine guns.

The armored cruiser Qilong, with a displacement of 4,860 tons and a maximum speed of 21.5 knots, was ordered in England and assembled its own weapons after returning, with six 155-mm main guns, ten 100-mm secondary guns, and twelve 75-mm secondary guns.

The Fenghuo, Fengyan, and Fengfen class destroyers have a displacement of 600 tons, each equipped with four 75-mm guns, one or three torpedo launchers in the front and one or three in the rear, and a maximum speed of 24 knots.

In terms of quantity, the ships of the Huaxia Army in Hawaii are not as good as the Mi Army, but the Huaxia Army has unique advantages that the Mi Army does not have: first, it is equipped with radio equipment, and it is convenient for ships to communicate and command with each other; 2. The caliber and speed of artillery are unified, which is convenient for unified command and shelling of enemy ships; Third, they are all cutting-edge ships that have not been launched for a long time, and their speed is generally faster than that of Mi warships; Fourth, the battleship is equipped with a rangefinder that greatly improves the accuracy of shelling.

Hu Zhen and the fleet of the Huaxia Army made all preparations, but after waiting for another two days, the Mi Army fleet did not appear on the sea of Hawaii for a long time.

The naval officers who were holding back the fire added fuel to the fire.

It turned out that after a long-distance operation, many problems arose, especially the two old ironclad ships built during the Civil War, the Manassas and the Arkansas, which were built during the Civil War, had a maximum speed of only 12 knots, and the economic speed of the long-distance voyage could only be maintained for about seven or eight knots for a long time, and it was even more troublesome when encountering a little wind and waves.

Therefore, Hawaii was already in sight, but Vice Admiral Vitesse cautiously ordered all the ships to stop, rest for two days, overhaul the machines, and test fire the artillery. (To be continued.) )
