Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! With an earth-shattering loud bang, huge orange-red fireballs rose in the fleets of both sides. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the shells of both sides continued to fall, columns of water rose in the fleets of both sides. Although the artillery on both sides was fierce, not a single battleship has been hit so far.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Admiral Andersen, commander-in-chief of the Great White Fleet, held a telegram from Rear Admiral Wid-Alai in his hand. The telegram said that more than 10 cruisers may have been sunk by Huaxia submarines, and now Huaxia warships have been discovered, and it is estimated that Huaxia's large fleet is around.

Admiral Anderson looked at the telegram with a solemn face, if Huaxia came to intercept the fleet of the United States, then this escort mission would definitely be difficult to complete. Anderson has learned about the warships of Huaxia Kingdom, whether it is the design of the artillery or the speed, they are in the world's leading ranks, and the battleships are based on the design concept of the main gun, such a battleship is stronger than the Great White Fleet and the Pacific Fleet of the United States in terms of range and artillery power.

Admiral Anderson really couldn't figure out why Huaxia Kingdom would come to offend the powerful United States, and there was no hatred between the United States and the Huaxia Kingdom, and there was no conflict of interest, could Huaxia Kingdom come for this wealth? If this is the case, it will be troublesome, this time there are not only hundreds of tons of gold, but also a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and the Huaxia State will definitely need wealth to fill the treasury soon after the founding of the country.

Although the United Fleet of the United States is numerous, the two sides cannot be compared in terms of quality. According to the design standards of the Huaxia warship, the Great White Fleet was already outdated before it left the port.

Ay! Admiral Anderson let out a long sigh, using an outdated fleet to engage the powerful Huaxia fleet, Anderson was not sure at all, not to mention that there might be a mysterious submarine in ambush at the bottom of the sea.

But just give up like this, Admiral Anderson is really unwilling, the powerful Great White Fleet has brought countless glory to the United States, so give up the wealth of escort, Admiral Anderson knows that the consequences are quite serious, not only may he face prison, but also drown without the saliva of the people of the United States.

After a little consideration, Admiral Anderson made a decision to concentrate all the battleships and abandon the escort fleet. Defeat the fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom with numerical superiority. Only such tactics may be able to save the tide of the war.

Admiral Anderson estimated that even though Huaxia had two powerful fleets, Huaxia was now attacking the colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, so at most one fleet could be sent to intercept it. With the number of the Pacific Fleet, the Spanish Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet, the tactics of group attack were adopted, and even if one's own warships were lagging behind the opponent, there was still hope for victory.

It was obviously wise to abandon the convoy, and if the fleet was gone, it meant that there was nothing, and Admiral Anderson knew this quite well.

"Telegraph, all warships sail to the southeast, and meet with His Excellency Rear Admiral Wid-Alai!" Anderson said solemnly to the adjutant.

Receiving this order, the adjutant was taken aback. "Your Excellency, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Execute the order! Maybe we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory! ”

"Yes!"

Whether it was the Pacific Fleet of the United States or the Spanish fleet, after receiving the order, they were puzzled, but these generals obeyed the order and ordered the battleships to abandon the convoy and go to the southeast at full speed.

After the telegraph room on the flagship of the First Fleet intercepted the telegram of the United States, it was quickly deciphered and handed over the telegram to Wang Hongliang.

When Wang Hongliang got the telegram, he was also in trouble, all the tactics arranged by the advanced seemed to have failed, and the United States gave up the convoy escort, and it seemed that he was going to fight hard.

With such a large number of other fleets, Wang Hongliang was also a little hairy in his heart, even if the main guns of the First Fleet had a long enough range, even if the artillery of the First Fleet was very powerful, Wang Hongliang still did not have the absolute certainty of victory in his heart.

After a little hesitation, Wang Hongliang walked into the safe room with the telegram and handed it to Sun Hao.

After Sun Hao read the telegram, his brows turned into a line, and he had to hand the telegram to Shen Jun.

After Shen Jun read the telegram, he stroked the goatee on his chin with one hand, and kept walking around the safe room, looking down and thinking.

After a while, Shen Jun looked at Wang Hongliang and asked, "What is the torpedo range of our battleship?" ”

"More than 10 kilometers!"

"How many torpedoes are carrying?"

"More than four hundred!"

"Excellent! With the addition of torpedoes of the submarine forces, our torpedoes should be more than 700 pieces, which should be enough for more than 160 warships of the United Fleet of the United States. Shen Jun had a smile on his face, as if the United Fleet of the United States was not to be feared at all.

"Commander-in-chief, Staff Officer Shen, although the range of our torpedoes is long enough, the effective range is about 30,000 meters." Wang Hongliang looked at Sun Hao and said.

Shen Jun thought about it before he said: "In fact, the effective range of our battleship's main artillery is about 12,000 kilometers, and Commander Wang can fire torpedoes at the same time as the battle, even if the torpedo does not hit the opponent, it can also interfere with the opponent, so that the opponent is busy dealing with our torpedoes, and the opponent is in a state of terror to fight." ”

After Wang Hongliang heard this, his eyes lit up, a staff officer is a staff officer, and his head is a lot better. In this way, it is possible to defeat the opponent even without using submarines. The point is that the opponent's torpedoes pose no threat to themselves, while their own torpedoes can sink the opponent's battleship.

Wang Hongliang knew that the range of the torpedoes in the United States was very close, and it could not be compared with the torpedoes in Huaxia at all, and there was a big difference in both range and power. As long as all the warships of the United States are assembled, let 20 submarines form a semi-encirclement, then this naval battle is equivalent to winning by itself.

At the same time as the United Fleet of the United States was assembling, the warships of the Huaxia State were also assembling, and after receiving the order, the underwater submarines were also assembled in the corresponding direction.

The battleships USS Connecticut, the battleship Virginia, the battleship Maine, the battleship Illinois, the battleship Chilshach, and other capital warships have begun to turn, and the Great White Fleet has a total of eight first-class battleships, plus four ships of the Pacific Fleet, the number has reached 12, such a fleet is theoretically enough to sweep all fleets in the world. Even the British Empire, which dominates the world with its navy, does not have a fleet that is enough to compete with this fleet of the United States.

Admiral Anderson stood on the Cambridge of the battleship USS Connecticut, which is also the flagship of the United Fleet formed by the United States this time, Anderson thought that the largest naval battle in history since the sea surface ships entered the steam ironclad era was about to begin, some time ago it was the Netherlands against Huaxia, and now it is the United Fleet of the United States against Huaxia, and the two unforeseen naval battles were launched by this evil Huaxia State, and Sun Hao, the leader of Huaxia Kingdom, is completely like a war demon.

Since this mysterious Chinese country appeared in the eyes of the world, the world's navy has faced one disaster after another. First the three major fleets of Britain sank, then the small fleet arranged by France in the Annam colony in East Asia, then the Netherlands, and now the United States, I don't know who the next country is? Kou Guo? Rakshasa country?
