As we enter August, the White House in the United States and the Olaf Palace in Berlin, the heart of their respective capitals, are busy, but the atmosphere behind the hectic scene is very different.

In the words of US President Warren Harding, "We in the United States have vast land, abundant resources, developed industry and a population of 100 million, and the Germans are now just repeating the mistakes of the British!" ”

The fact that the German bomb did not fall on Washington does not mean that Washington's sky is clear, and the United States is indeed rich in war resources, but is it comparable to half of Europe plus one Africa and half of Southeast Asia?

Warren Harding seems to have forgotten that his opponents have risen to more than 80 million native populations and 850,000 square kilometers of land after the annexation of Poland, Croatia and Slavonia, Carinthia, Salzburg and Austria, and that the local population has risen to more than 80 million, and the local area is also 850,000 square kilometers, the so-called superiority of the United States is gone!

Of course, the balance of power did not pronounce the Americans a death sentence, and both Warren Harding and his generals understood that as long as the German navy was defeated, then the Atlantic would become an insurmountable obstacle for the Germans, and although the current American military strength could not attack the German mainland across the ocean, the war would at least end in favor of the United States.

It is precisely for this reason that Washington is constantly watching the position of the US Pacific Fleet, and more than 200 ships of all sizes stationed in Norfolk Military Port are also ready to set sail at any time. When the time comes, they will implement the great "Glory of the Two Oceans" initiative.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the naval battle of the century, in the Pacific Ocean near the Americas, the Pacific Fleet commanded by General Robert Koontz was enduring the double blow of the scorching heat and the opponent. In order to reach Panama before Washington's request, the fleet had to sail far beyond its cruising speed off the coast of Mexico, where the scorching August sun scorched the sea with the gray American warships, despite the sailors constantly washing the decks with seawater. But in the boiler room and engine room, stokers still suffer from heat stroke from the heat - in the 1910s, the capital ships of various navies were popular in oil-coal mixed firing configurations, such as the Delaware class, the Wyoming class, and the German King class before the major refit had some coal-fired boilers. As we all know, coal-fired boilers require a stoker to shovel coal, so on the "Wyoming", "Arkansas", "New York", and "Texas" ships built by the US Pacific Fleet in the old days, people suffering from heat stroke were constantly transported to the infirmary for treatment, and the people behind were added to replace them, and over time. The ships had to mobilize sailors from other posts to go to the steamer-like boiler room.

On the other ships of the fleet, the situation of the oil-fired boilers was better, but they had to face the Luftwaffe and the extremely cruel German hunters under the sea, and in the various observation posts on both sides of the battleship, the sailors had to watch the surrounding sea with great vigilance, because there was no time when a few torpedoes would appear, and if one of the battleships was sunk by a torpedo, the other ships would have to risk rescuing the drowning man, and the losses could continue to grow. No one wanted the name of their warship to be written in the record book of the German ace captains.

Despite the strict precautions and the dispatch of carrier-based aircraft to patrol. But on August 13th. The U.S. fleet also suffered considerable losses from air strikes by German land-based fighters and dive bombers flying from Mexico. After a fierce air battle, the USS Mississippi was slightly damaged, and two other destroyers were seriously damaged. In addition, the aircraft carriers "Langley" and "Yorktown" each lost nearly 20 carrier-based aircraft, and the number of carrier-based aircraft in the entire fleet had dropped to 39 by this time. Fearing another bad Luftwaffe attack, the fleet commander, General Robert Koontz, was forced to order the fleet to sail another 100 nautical miles away from the coast, which would allow the fleet to avoid German land-based fighters and dive bombers, but also increase the range and time spent on the American fleet.

Then, on 15, 16, and 17 August, the US Pacific Fleet was attacked by German submarines one after another, the cruiser "Quincy" was wounded and sunk, and the accompanying transport ships "Zarette," "Chevalier," and "Krahan" were directly sunk, and the most frightening thing for the Americans was the torpedo that passed by the main battleship "Colorado," if this torpedo fired from a submarine 2,000 yards away was lucky enough to hit the "Colorado." This new battleship, commissioned in 1921, will become the biggest burden to the fleet even if it is not sunk - in the eyes of the fleet commander Robert Koontz and the generals of the Naval Operations Department, every capital ship is now an important weight for victory in naval battles, you must know that the German Navy is so powerful that even the United States and the two oceanic fleets do not dare to win easily, not to mention that the initiative is almost very evenly in the hands of both sides.

The Z-shaped anti-submarine route again took time on Robert Koontz, and it was not until August 27 that he brought the exhausted fleet to Panama and called Washington that his fleet needed a two-day rest in Panama Harbor, but that afternoon. German heavy bombers flying from Mexico and Guatemala bombed the port of Panama fiercely, and the battleship "Idaho" was hit by two incendiary bombs and set on fire, but fortunately the fire did not spread to the vital parts. In addition, a light cruiser and three freighters were damaged in the bombing, a sudden incident that directly changed General Koontz's decision, and Washington, fearing that the Germans would bomb ships sailing in the canal or even block the shipping lane, ordered the Pacific Fleet to pass through the Panama Canal at night.

Berlin, Germany.

Since the start of the war, Olaf Palace has been filled with high-ranking generals and important government officials every day, and it seems to be busier than the White House, which is orderly and calm compared to the gray atmosphere of the White House. Chen Tian did not go to the Supreme Command, but he did not want to interfere too much in the work of the generals, and the ministers of the army, navy and air force or their senior staff officers would come to the palace every morning and afternoon to report on the battle situation. Since the start of the war, German government officials, especially the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been busy, but they will not confuse their respective responsibilities, just like Chen Tian said: The affairs on the battlefield are handed over to the soldiers, and everyone performs their duties on the battlefield!

In the beautiful back garden of the Royal Palace. Shade. The little girl held a small book in her hand and read it in her mouth, which was not particularly standard:

"I don't know when I sleep in spring, I smell birds everywhere! ...... Night"

"The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall!"

Hearing the sudden voice from behind, the little girl hurriedly turned her head, she was too serious just now. So much so that his father didn't notice it when he came from afar.

"Father, you're here! You just pronounced it so well, and not a word was wrong! The little girl said with great admiration.

Chen Tian smiled and sat down next to her, this was just a piece of cake for him, although he didn't use it for many years, the underlying instinct would not completely disappear because of the passage of time.

"My little princess, I heard from your Chinese teacher that you have made rapid progress during this time! And Andres also told me that you plan to travel to China after learning Chinese, really? ”

"That little villain, tell him not to talk nonsense!" The little princess pursed her lips a little angrily.

"Can you tell me why you're so interested in China?"

"Uh...... Father. You have to promise me that I won't be angry before I say it! ”

Look at Sasha's expression and tone of voice very seriously. Chen Tian nodded seriously.

"I've read the queen mother's diary from the past, so ......" At this point, the childishness and calmness in Sasha's eyes disappeared. Instead, there is a sorrow of remembrance.

"I see!" Chentian's tone was much lower, he stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the little princess's face, and soon felt that the delicate skin was moistened by some kind of liquid.

As little Sasha grows up, Chen Tian finds that she has inherited her mother's kindness and talent for language and music, coupled with that somewhat god-like face, which makes people feel that the revered empress of the German Empire has been reborn in her.

"That experience is indeed the most memorable in the lives of your mother and me!" What Chen Tian said was that they lived in Qingdao for most of the year, as well as what they saw and experienced in Lushun, and these Lisa must have been written into his diary.

Sasha was crying, but not sobbing. After a while, she raised her head and asked Chentian:

"The Japanese are very, very bad, aren't they? Why is there such a barbaric, shameless and brutal people in the world? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Tian told her: "That is the only nation in the world, a nation that should not exist from the beginning!" They are cruel and warlike, they take pleasure in killing people and slaughtering cities, and they are armed with advanced weapons but their minds are primitive and savage! ”

It is such a nation that, after the war between Germany and the United States, brazenly occupied the Philippines and Hawaii without firing a shot by letting go of the US Pacific Fleet, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. However, when the war between Germany and the United States was in full swing, they even ignored the German-Japanese-Russian Treaty to increase their troops in Korea and Northeast China.

"Then why did God let them exist in this world?" Sasha asked very simply.

"Because God wants us to see what evil is, and sooner or later justice will triumph over evil!" Chen Tian clenched his fists, and at this time, he remembered Rainey, and remembered everything in the other world.

As the "gendarme of the world", is it difficult for Germany not to do something?

However, the squire's interference soon brought Chentian's father and daughter back to reality, and everything was left to talk about until the Americans were defeated!

"Your Majesty, Marshal Pol and General Zeckert are here!"

Although he was reluctant to interrupt the sincere conversation between Chentian's father and daughter, von Jonalet understood that military intelligence was more important than many things.

"Invite them to the study!" Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Sasha: "My little princess, one day you will see a beautiful, profound, and unparalleled China, I promise!" ”

Sasha nodded earnestly.

When Chentian walked into the study, Pol and Zechter stood up from the sofa with anticipating expressions.

"It's a little slow, but they're here anyway!"

Pol was the first to speak.

"They" refer not only to the United States Pacific Fleet, which has just arrived in the port of Panama, but also to the Cuban waters just a dozen hours ago, a support fleet consisting of the main force of the German North Sea Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet, and the British Fleet. When the Americans were actively planning the "glory of the two oceans," the fleet in the hands of Marshal Schell had quietly grown a lot, and with the support fleet led by Hipper, the 5 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers, and 40 light ships, the German Atlantic Fleet already had 16 battleships, 6 battlecruisers, 9 capital aircraft carriers, and 5 escort aircraft carriers, plus a total of 200 light ships and warships anchored in the waters near Cuba.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The decisive moment is coming, and it's a shame we can't see the biggest naval battle since the Iron Age! Field Marshal Pol, Minister of the Navy and Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, said with some regret.

"It doesn't matter, we are all witnesses to this great naval battle!" Chen Tian said calmly, as usual, little Andres was still standing on his left hand.

"Your Majesty, it's a pity that we don't have enough time to prepare, and at present we have only two temporary airfields in Cuba, and only two squadrons of fighters, two squadrons of dive bombers, and one squadron of torpedo bombers ready for battle! Just three more days, three days! That number will be doubled! Speaking was the Minister of the Air Force and Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, Zeckert, whose land-based fighters belong to the Air Force, so he will also play an important role in the upcoming naval battle.

Chen Tian crossed his fingers and thought, many people, both neutral countries and allies, thought that attacking the United States was an overly risky decision, but only Chen Tian knew that his advanced thinking would make the impossible possible.

"Before the start of the naval battle, we must make the air force stationed in Cuba as strong as possible, let the engineering troops build and expand the runway overnight, and then transfer some of the air force units stationed in Mexico to Cuba early tomorrow morning! Everyone thought that our navy would be in danger of being flanked by the US two-ocean fleet, so we asked them to see whether it was a two-sided attack or a break! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zeckert accepted this order unconditionally, and a Luftwaffe general like him knew better how to use aircraft to deal with behemoths at sea than the Americans, and did not bomb them all before, rather than dragging the war into a war of attrition and a protracted war.

"Also, the Marines must protect our airfield, and although the Army has crushed the Cuban armed forces, we must not neglect the determination of some outlaws to work for the U.S. government!"

Just four hours after Chen Tian said this, a group of Cuban militants, led by several US officers, attempted to attack a German military airfield in southeastern Cuba, but was violently counterattacked by German marines and fled.

On the evening of 28 August, the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, cowering in Norfolk Harbor, finally moved, and only half an hour later, news reached Berlin.
