Chapter 420: Propose peace

Early the next morning, Luo Yang woke up, the sea breeze blew a faint salty smell from the east, and the sky outside was clear and blue, which made him yawn comfortably,

During the night, the counterattack of the enemy's fleeing ship that the Huaxia Army was worried about did not happen, so everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Immediately count last night's battle, hurry."

At eight o'clock in the morning, the statistics were finally clear,

Of all the US fleet, only two light cruisers escaped, and the rest of the warships and supply ships were captured by the Huaxia Army, and all the weapons, equipment, and materials on the fleet became trophies of the Huaxia Army; according to the statistics of the US military itself, except for the troops who were secretly attacked and captured by the Huaxia Army on the shore, more than 2,330 personnel on the fleet were killed, and the rest were wounded and captured, more than 1,200 people. Including the commander of the fleet, Bowen, took part in the battle with a pistol and was seriously wounded,

In addition, more than 400 US troops are missing, and it is estimated that when they were first attacked, some of the US troops panicked and threw themselves directly into the sea to escape, and some officers and men were boarding large ships from small boats, and after being attacked, they were either sunk by hand tumor bullets and sank into the sea, or they were thrown into the sea during the night battle.

On the river, after searching for a long time, more than 100 corpses of American soldiers were found, but they were not complete, some were injured by shells, or slashed with knives, and some were irregular bite marks, which must have been loved by the shark's long kiss.

However, what is surprising is that at about nine o'clock in the afternoon, the two fugitive warships of the American fleet actually returned, and, waving a white flag,

The Chinese officers and men were very nervous, and with the assistance of American prisoners of war, the Huaxia army, which had learned the simplest way to drive, had already aimed the front main guns of the battleship at the mouth of the river, and almost started fighting.

After the two warships arrived, people found out that the Chinese officers and soldiers were also controlling the situation.

The situation of these two warships is a little special, the number of officers and men of the Huaxia Army that landed is small, and the combat effectiveness is relatively weak, while the US army is very cunning and runs away with the ship, but unfortunately, the special operations force is still a step ahead, and finally defeats the US army, forcing the rest of the US army to surrender and drive the battleship back.

When the officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Army boarded the new enemy warships one after another, Luo Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, the battle was finally over, and it was finally completed.

This is the best ending, before the battle, I really didn't expect it,

At this time, the statistical results of the battle had a comprehensive significance, a total of all the men and horses of the US fleet with ships, etc., all fell into the hands of the Huaxia Army, nearly 5,000 US troops were completely annihilated, and the fleet commander, Rear Admiral Bowen, was captured and died of serious injuries and depression.

The losses of the Huaxia Army were also quite heavy, and only 121 of the more than 600 special combat personnel were able to survive, of which 81 were wounded, and 18 died in the days after the war because of their injuries.

The victory in the battle of the Minjiang River in Fujian greatly shocked the people of Huaxia, and the news, after being confirmed in Luoyang, quickly spread to the whole country.

These warships were anchored at the port of Mawei in Fujian, where they were used as a base for training, and Luo Yang appointed Zuo Zongtang as the temporary head of the Nanyang Fleet, and quickly formed a second naval force.

The warship was repaired, mainly by employing American prisoners of war, and also hired technicians from some other countries, such as the Netherlands, Spain and other countries, and at the same time, it also stepped up the hiring of overseas technical personnel, and even persuaded and transformed the American prisoners of war, so that some of them served as instructors for naval training, which surprised these people.

In order to ensure the safe control of these naval fleets, in terms of establishment, Luo Yang combined half of the mixed brigade and part of Zuo Zongtang's troops, and also mobilized some Taiping officers and soldiers, and several forces were mixed together to form the Nanyang Navy.

After the battle, Luo Yang quickly returned from Fujian, and personally convened a diplomatic mission to announce the victory of the war against the United States to the international community.

At the grand press conference, Luo Yang told the entire process of the naval war, and there was no taboo about the tactics of special operations, "In short, our Huaxia ** team, with the latest special operations troops and airborne paratroopers, attacked repeatedly, defeated the enemy, and finally won a valuable victory, the consul told everyone that at present, all the US fleets to China have been captured by our army, American warships, I can also responsibly say that the war between the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom and the American Federation has ended, because the United States will not be able to rearm an ocean-going fleet of this size to attack China within a few years. ”

"Thank you for the international community's attention to the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom government, thank you for your support for the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, and we deeply understand your friendship."

At the press conference, Luo Yang answered the questions of several reporters, and the degree of openness of transportation and society at that time, a few international reporters were already good.

"Is this news true, are you sure?" The British ministers rushed to ask questions, and they were willing to be entertainment reporters.

"Indeed, if you don't believe me, you can go to Weihai Weijun Port to visit."

"Can you have a more detailed report, for example, the weapons and equipment used by Huaxia Tian**, as well as the information on paragliding, can you give us some." Minister Glo was very zealous,

"No, it's a state secret." Luo Yang flatly refused,

The ministers of France, Prussia, Russia, and other countries also raised one question after another.

The faces of all these people were solemn and solemn, and the previous cynical attitude disappeared, especially the faces of the British ministers, which were already cautious and even fearful,

"We, the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, look forward to a responsible country to come forward and warn the US federal government to participate in negotiations with our country, otherwise, our country will focus on these captured fleets, protect more merchant ships, send more land forces, and reinforce the troops of the Southern Alliance."

"We are fighting to defend the interests of the nation and do not want to force the US federal government to do anything, this is not conquest, but self-defense."

"We have absolute enthusiasm and hope for the U.S. federal government to abandon evil and follow good."

Luo Yang gave full play to all the abilities of a mouth, and promised the country and society that Huaxia Tian would no longer fight, and would devote all his energy to economic construction in the future, and he also hoped that the US government would no longer disturb China.

"We really want to negotiate with the United States to end the war and achieve peace." Luo Yang smiled and sent an invitation to all countries: "Go and persuade the U.S. federal government, we will be full of hope, we don't want the U.S. government to compensate for any losses, and we don't want it to pay any price." ”
