In the early morning of July 3, 1909, with a southeast wind, 60 nautical miles off the island of Guam, a large fleet was parked on the blue sea, and each warship was hung with a golden dragon battle flag. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This fleet has been here for hours, as if waiting for something.

Inky clouds squeezed the sky, a misty drizzle fell on the sea, and the thick clouds in the sky seemed to fall, so depressed that the whole world seemed to be quiet. The weak seabirds have already trembled and surrendered to the ground, as if it was the mountain rain that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings!

Sixty nautical miles away from this fleet, a huge fleet of large and small ships is moving forward against the southeast wind, this huge fleet includes not only merchant ships, but also hundreds of warships, which may be the largest fleet ever built after the completion of ironclad ships. Some of the ships in this fleet carried the Spanish flag, and some carried the flag of the United States.

The Pacific Ocean was once the world of the Spanish Empire's Armada, which can be said to be the bathtub of the Armada, but the times have changed, and this has become history.

Today, the Pacific Ocean is the domain of the fleets of the British Empire and the United States. However, now, it has become the world of the United States, and in the Pacific Ocean, there is no fleet of that country that can compete with the Great White Fleet of the United States. If the fleets of the two countries of the United States and the United Kingdom were combined, it would be enough to sweep all the fleets on the oceans of each country.

On the flagship of the USS Connecticut of the Great White Fleet, there is an elderly man with a big beard and wearing an admiral's uniform, who is the commander-in-chief of the Great White Fleet of the United States, Admiral Anderson, and the commander-in-chief of this escort.

The Great White Fleet has brought countless glory to the United States, and has a total of eight first-class battleships with powerful firepower. This circumnavigation not only confirmed the huge naval strength of the United States, but also deterred the Kou country that was ready to move against the Pacific Ocean, and the Great White Fleet was also the spiritual sustenance of the naval commanders of the United States.

The standard displacement of the Connecticut is more than 16,000 tons, 16,500 horsepower, speed 18 knots, 2 twin 305mm caliber main guns, 4 twin 203mm caliber secondary guns, 12 178mm caliber secondary guns, 20 76mm caliber rapid-fire guns, 12 3-pounder guns, 4 machine guns, 4 533mm torpedoes, and the firepower configuration can be described as quite powerful.

On the flagship of the USS Connecticut, next to Admiral Anderson, stood a middle-aged man in the uniform of the Spanish Navy, who was Rear Admiral Johnson, the commander of the Spanish fleet. Afraid of the evil Kou country? The strength of the Combined Fleet of the Kou Kingdom is not at all the opponent of the Great White Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. ”

Anderson glanced at the rear admiral of Spain with a little contempt, why would Spain send such a brainless general to escort it, if it wasn't for the fact that the United States had transported so many Chinese laborers, antiques and gold from the Qing Dynasty, how could the United States have a declining Spanish fleet to escort it? Not to mention the command ability of this brainless general, the battleships sent by the Spanish fleet to escort this time are all old warships, and Admiral Anderson is even worried that the battleships of the Spanish fleet will be dismembered on the surface of the sea during the voyage.

If it weren't for the repeated advice of His Excellency Taft, the Governor General in the Philippines, that the antiques, jewelry, gold mined in the Philippines and Chinese laborers must be safely delivered to their destinations, and the United States would not invite the declining Spanish fleet to participate in the escort.

"Your Excellency Johnson, although we have more than 100 warships, the fleet of the Kou country is not vegetarian, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. In case they come to rob in disguise as pirates, our fleet is too large and there are too few escort ships, so it is better to be careful. Commander-in-Chief Anderson said with a sip of red wine.

Anderson was well aware of the form of the Pacific Ocean, which not only had a powerful fleet of Kou, but also a new Huaxia country, and also had two powerful fleets. After the United States colonized the Philippines, it simply could not draw so many warships to maintain the security of this sea area, so this time it was nominally to escort Chinese workers to the United States to open mines, and more importantly, to escort antiques, jewelry and gold. Governor Taft was worried that the size of the fleet would be too large, causing the Kou country to attack, and the United States had too few warships, so he had to hire more than 20 old Spanish warships to participate in the escort.

Commander-in-Chief Anderson has a wealth of experience in naval warfare, not only participating in the Battle of Missy, but also participating in some other naval battles in the United States, and is also a well-known and famous naval general in the United States. For this escort, Anderson is also extremely worried, whether it is Kou or Huaxia, the naval strength is not inferior to the United States, even if the naval soldiers of the United States are brave and the battleships are strong, they will not be able to withstand their wolf pack tactics. In addition, the size of the fleet is too large this time, which is the best battlefield for wolf pack tactics to play.

With such a huge fleet, it is impossible not to show the news, and the eyes of the Kou country are all over the east, south, and Asia, and it is almost impossible to escape their eyes, so Commander-in-Chief Anderson can only order the fleet to be careful all the way, and send cruisers to scatter reconnaissance.

Anderson was not only worried that Kou Guo would come to rob, but also worried about this newly rising Huaxia State, which had always wanted to develop in Nanyang, but was seized by the United States and blocked the way for Kou Guo to develop in Nanyang. Coupled with the incomparably rich fishery resources in the Pacific Ocean and some strategically located islands, the Kou country has long coveted the Pacific Ocean.

Now the newly rising Huaxia Kingdom composed of the descendants of the Ming Dynasty is even more mysterious, this country is like suddenly emerging from the ground, the two powerful fleets are even more ferocious, and even the powerful British Empire may not be an opponent, Anderson is even more worried that Huaxia Kingdom will come to cross the hand.

With the mysterious sinking of the three fleets of the British Empire, it added a lot of mysterious aura to this newly rising Chinese country. Anderson estimates that this Chinese country not only has a mysterious submarine force, but also a powerful attack submarine force. If it is said that the sinking of the three fleets of the British Empire has nothing to do with Huaxia, Anderson does not believe it when he kills him.

Anderson is also a veteran general who has led troops for many years, of course, he can see clearly the roadblock that blocks the development of Huaxia, and if Huaxia wants to develop, it must move this roadblock, but it cannot expose the target, so Huaxia sent a submarine force with very strong attack power.

The United States has also studied submarines for many years, but so far none of the submarines have real underwater attack power. Anderson even suspected that God had taken care of Sun Hao, so that Huaxia not only had a powerful surface fleet, but also a mysterious submarine force.
