At 0:08 on November 10, the U.S. Pacific Fleet received a distress telegram from the British Far East Fleet. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info (.. )
The ship is far away and the earth is the main Yang of the lonely Gang, and the Yang test is not
However, this telegram for help came too late.
At this moment, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has been blocked by the three naval fleets of the Chinese Empire and nearly 200 warships.
Vice Admiral Robley Evans, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, looked at the Chinese Imperial Navy fleet surrounded by wolves, shook his head helplessly, and asked the signal man to call back:
Dear Admiral Fremantle, Commander of the British Far East Fleet, we are very sorry for your request for help.
The fleet of the Chinese Empire has nearly two hundred ships already entangled us, and I think that our nightmare may have begun.
This is a disaster, let's bless each other.
In desperation, Admiral Philmantle also sent a telegram to the British naval command about the situation in the East China Sea.
The British Government was shocked, which they could not have imagined, and if they had only seen the war described in General Philmantle's telegram, they would not have believed it to be true.
At the same time that Marshal Fisher, the first minister of the British Navy, received the text of the Far East Fleet, he also learned that the Japanese Combined Fleet had been routed by the troops of the Chinese Empire.
At this moment, the British ** affairs department sent a report on the war situation in the East China Sea.
The report claimed that the British Far East Fleet was facing great difficulties, and the US Pacific Fleet was also facing a siege by the Chinese Imperial Naval Fleet, which was three times stronger than them.
At this moment, on the silent surface of the East China Sea, the corpses of the officers and men of the British and Japanese fleets and the wreckage of warships floated around, and the air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder.
The British naval command held an urgent meeting, and Fisher strongly demanded that the handsome Far East Fleet withdraw from the battlefield in the East China Sea, announce its surrender to the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire, and end this senseless war.
However, the British main war faction, represented by Churchill, advocated continuing to send huge ships to the East China Sea to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Imperial fleet led by Chen Zhong.
The British government was hotly debated about the war in the East China Sea.
Just when the British were still hesitating whether to increase their troops in the East China Sea, the British ** news department sent back another news that shocked the British. This news put a stop to the arguments of the British.
It turned out that the British intelligence department had learned that Germany had secretly signed a military cooperation agreement with the Chinese Empire.
The content of the agreement was that Germany fully agreed with the resumption of the concessions and all privileges of the Chinese Empire in China.
and agreed to return all German concessions on the Jiaozhou Peninsula and in China to the Chinese Empire.
Germany agreed to sell artillery and automobiles, as well as military submarines and bombing airships to the Chinese Empire. And in this East China Sea War, he provided two large bombing airships for the Chinese Empire free of charge.
The information presented by the British intelligence system is very accurate.
At this moment, Chen Zhong was listening to Ling Feng, Minister of Industry, who had just returned from Germany, and Bai Fuxiang of the External Relations Department, who had just returned from Germany, report on the issue of cooperation with Germany.
Ling Feng brought it from Germany this time, and Kaiser Wilhelm II personally signed it, gifted two airships to the Huaxia Empire, and brought six German airship piloting trainers to help the Huaxia Aviation Brigade quickly master the piloting techniques and bombing skills of the airships.
These two bombing airships are the naval airship division of the German aviation unit, which is currently in use.
Most of the German naval airships used this type of Ziplin-type airship. Moreover, all aerial bombing tasks were undertaken by airships.
The German ** team has not yet used aircraft to participate in bombing missions, so this kind of Zibelin-type airship is the most important weapon of the German air strike.
Chen Zhong ordered that the two L-18 and L-19 airships should be immediately incorporated into the Maritime Aviation Group, so that the airship pilots could master the operation skills as soon as possible and be prepared to play their role in the operation against the British and American fleets.
At present, all the bombers of the maritime aviation of the Chinese Empire can carry a variety of weapons, and can use bombs as the main weapon to attack ground, surface and underwater targets.
At a time when all countries in the world have not yet universally used air strike forces, Chen Zhong has successfully set up this naval aviation brigade.
Lieutenant General Chen put the strength of the maritime aviation into the East China Sea War, and he believed that this maritime aviation brigade would definitely become the most important killer weapon for the Huaxia Emperor's first team and the elimination of the powerful combined fleet of Britain and the United States.
Aerial bombardment can destroy the enemy's advanced weapons and other important targets, and at the same time, it can also become an important means to undermine the enemy's war strength and will to fight.
The aviation power of the Chinese Empire has surpassed all the military aircraft technology used by all countries in the world.
Even if some countries try to use bombers, they are basically only modified from reconnaissance planes or other aircraft, and the structure is extremely simple, and they can only carry a very small number of bombs, and they are dropped by the pilot's hand.
At present, the bombers used by the Chinese naval aviation are designed with special weapons bays and bomb pylons, which can carry a certain quantity and quality of weapons and ammunition.
The ship is far from cold, pointing to the moon and hating me
The aerial bombardment of the enemy is far from cold, and it can destroy the enemy's advanced weapons and other important targets, and at the same time, it can also become an important means of destroying the enemy's war strength and combat will.
This has greatly increased the strike capability of military aircraft in war, and this kind of air strike will certainly be able to play a surprise role in this East China Sea war.
Because, for submarines and airplanes, which are still immature new weapons, the old-fashioned British are very dismissive.
Therefore, in order to prepare for this war in the East China Sea, Chen Zhong hid these two secret weapons, one submarine and the other is maritime aviation.
He wanted to use these two secret weapons to completely destroy the British fleet, the sea hegemon, the arrogant US Pacific Fleet, and the Japanese Combined Fleet, which did not know whether to live or die, in the East China Sea.
The English were disturbed when they learned that the Germans, who had competed with them in Europe, were now secretly allied with the Chinese Empire.
In the eyes of the British, if the British army invested a large number of troops in the Far East, it would inevitably greatly reduce the combat strength of the homeland.
Kaiser Wilhelm II, who signed an alliance agreement with the Chinese Empire during this period, had a more long-term plan.
Chen Zhong knows very well that in recent years, in Europe, Britain, France, and Germany have been secretly competing and frantically engaged in an arms race.
Britain and Germany have invested a great deal of manpower, material resources, and financial resources in the research and development and production of more advanced new weapons. Trying to compete for world supremacy in the oceans of Europe and the world.
Kaiser Wilhelm II saw a historic opportunity in the war between the combined Anglo-American-Japanese fleet in the East China Sea and the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire.
