Britain, as a loyal ally of the United States, let go of 12 capital ships of the United States, the Americans are very grateful, the British of course want to know, why the United States is so miserable, from the side of the United States government got the first-hand information, immediately startled, after knowing the news of the attack on New York, the United States, just secretly vigilant, but after getting the first-hand information, especially the first-hand information of the emperor-level use of various ammunition weapons, they suddenly did not dare to be careless, the situation of the United States is a lesson from the past, if Germany at all costs, send the emperor, for the British port city, if it is attacked indiscriminately, can the British be able to stop it.

The United States is a continental city, between the east coast and the west coast, thousands of kilometers, but Britain is an island country, the longest land length is not much, and the biggest feature of the island country is that there are many ports, Britain is relying on naval warfare and ocean transportation to start, his goals are much more than the United States, in order to ensure safety, in order to ensure that the United States does not repeat the mistakes of the United States, they have to increase the density of mines.

It turned out that the British only laid mines in key parts, such as the port of London, the mouth of the Thames River, and now they have to lay mines in an all-round way to ensure that in the vast majority of the ports, there are enough mines, which is the best way to deal with the attacks of warships, and may not be able to avoid these battleship attacks, at least the battleships cannot be unscrupulously close to the shore to attack, those places in the port, there is still no way to avoid it, at least the inland can be preserved, Britain is different from the United States, if the United States really can't do it, You can withdraw 30 kilometers from the port, and if Britain enters 30 kilometers from the coastline, I'm afraid the whole of Britain will not have much territory.

The British laid mines, using the cheapest mines, arranged a blockade line, especially in some non-waterway places, but it is an effective blocking line, mines are different from land defense, can be reconnoitred, arranged underwater, no one dares to approach easily under the premise of not knowing the layout area.

Britain and the United States are allies, and the actions of the British did not hide from the Americans, after all, Britain is a traditional naval power, and their response method should be the best way to deal with the sneak attack of warships.

After 1916, the efficiency of the North Atlantic route of the United Kingdom to the United States was reduced by at least 50%, and even every year, there were at least 300,000 tons of ships that sank into the sea because of mines, but in the face of such losses, the United States is still crazy about mine-laying, because of the sneak attack of Cheng Biguang, which has caused too much painful lesson to the United States, if all the losses are added together, The loss of 300,000 tons of merchant ships and cargo every year could take thirty to fifty years, or even more.

The Americans laid mines, and it was a large-scale minelayering, for minelaying, there is no technical content, and even fishing boats can be easily arranged, but if you want to conceal it, you need to use professional minelaying boats, and the United States is enough to support the industrial production capacity of the Entente countries, even if the east coast industry is affected, it is enough to produce a large number of mines, and the technical content of this thing is not high at all.

The mines in stockpile, all of which were taken out by the Americans, using all kinds of things, began to be arranged, first of course, Boston, which concentrated American merchant ships and a large number of material ports, became the most important area, arranged in patches, almost without omission, and other places also, more or less began to be arranged.

Cheng Biguang's attack on the United States, of course, is to pay attention to reconnaissance, the most exhausting every day, nothing else, it is these reconnaissance planes, only when the reconnaissance planes find the weak link, they will take action, this is also the Americans do everything possible to make some traps out of the fundamental reason that have no effect, get a bunch of merchant ships, pile up some specious military supplies, but within 30 kilometers around, at least more than 600,000 tons of warships have been ambushed, if there is not enough reconnaissance capability, they would have rushed into it long ago, But Cheng Biguang ignored him at all, and instead targeted another target.

In fact, Cheng Biguang's ministry has been wreaking havoc in North America for so long, and the officers of the navy have already felt that Cheng must have a set of reconnaissance methods, but what it is, but it is unknown, is it a secret intelligence agency, this is impossible, the Chinese in the United States have been cleaned up, and the yellow people left behind are all of other races, or Indians, and the number is very small, not as large as the Chinese before it.

This may become a mystery, at least the US military has not found it at present, but after the minelaying, the United States has been attacked a lot less, from the beginning of the large-scale minelaying in the United States, Cheng Biguang knows that there may not be many opportunities, the reason is very simple, a large-capacity mine, enough to threaten any ship, the sea is not static, ocean currents and sea breezes, can send these mines anywhere, this is also the beginning of the Germans also dared to threaten British cities with battleships, basically did not dare in the later period, There were no certain minesweepers, a sufficiently safe channel was cleared, and not many capital ships dared to go to sea, and even then, Britain paid the price of a lot of warships, and some of the capital ships were hit by mines. The lesser of two evils, in the face of the crazy Cheng Ministry, the Americans can only blockade it with mines, especially when the main fleet does not return, they can only rely on this.

The appearance of mines has reduced the activities of the Cheng Department on a large scale, although it seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity to sneak attack a coastal city, but this was the only time that the Cheng Department made a shot on the first day of the week, and the next, it was another week, and there was no shot, which made the Americans see the benefits of mine-laying, and even more crazy mine-laying.

Things have come to this extent, Cheng Bu stayed here, it was useless, he should have left, but Cheng Bu has not, and he is still looking for opportunities around, the reason why Cheng Biguang did not leave is not that he wants to attack the port, but that he still wants to give it a try, the news he got from Germany, coupled with the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance plane, he knows that at least 12 capital ships, many patrols, heavy cruisers, and even destroyers and light cruisers are coming to the United States. In order to prevent a surprise attack by the Germans, the Allies made a lot of preparations, on the one hand, on the side of Bordeaux and Italy, the offensive of the new year began, and on the other hand, the remaining fleet, with the help of airships and islands, held steadily, laid a large number of mines, and made up their minds to hide in the shell of the turtle and not come out.

The Germans also kindly reminded that under the all-out investigation of the German reconnaissance planes, the main data of these fleets were obtained. The Entente had fought against Scheer's Emperor class, which was the Emperor class under the support of the High Seas Fleet, the Emperor class may be very powerful, he may be twice as powerful as the average capital ship, 12 is enough to deal with him, and many other warships, if you add the warships of the American mainland, the scale will be even more powerful.

But what the Entente doesn't know is that the Scheer Fantasy class is not a kind of ship with China's Fantasy class, I'm afraid it's just superficially similar, more than 2 years, enough for China to use a lot of advanced technology in the Fantasy class, such as armor, 2 years, the new armor can be at least twice as high as the original armor, under good protection, in addition to China's special 1500 kg aerial bombs, there are also armor-piercing shells, there are no more active naval guns, can threaten the Fantasy class.

The bigger improvement is still in the power, 2 years, enough to make the performance of large steam turbines and oil-fired boilers have a huge improvement, it can't be said to be reborn, but as long as the fantasy class wants guns, the capital ship can catch up with only 3 battle cruisers, these three are only able to catch up, at most 1 section faster than the fantasy class, as for the other warships, it's a big deal to fight, as long as the torpedo is not fired, the rest, there is no problem.

Coming to the North Atlantic, Cheng Biguang is already brilliant enough in terms of military exploits, destroying 12 port cities along the coast of the United States, New York and Philadelphia, these two bases have become his brilliant contributions, if you add the harvest of submarines, more than 500,000 tons of warships sunk figures, 3 million tons of merchant ships sunk, these for small countries, maybe they can be knocked down at once, but they are facing the United States, even if it is a sudden attack, suffered such losses, The United States actually endured it, 40 million people fled, the Americans were just a little panicked, and then they relied on the means of the chaebol and the government to maintain the personnel at a distance of 100 kilometers from the port, the United States with the help of the eight major local conglomerates, with the help of the Rothschild group in Europe, they actually started the construction of new cities, and then, with the help of the arrangement of mines, sent the personnel back, obviously, not ready to break away from the war, is ready to fight a protracted war with China.

Cheng Biguang only believed it at this time, and when he was leaving, Yang Yuanzhao said that this action could only teach the United States a certain lesson, so that the United States' future war potential would be reduced a little, and there would still be an unattainable distance from defeating the United States. At that time, he didn't believe it very much, and he knew the huge power of the fantasy level, after Wall Street completely destroyed the financial affairs of the United States, he even felt that the navy could decide everything, but unfortunately it backfired, and the other side was more tenacious than he imagined, so for the sake of the future, in order to achieve an advantage in the future war with the United States, he must give the United States a heavier lesson, aimed at the military above, the war potential of the United States that directly strikes.

There is no better way than to take out a large main fleet, maybe the Americans can use strong industrial production to fill this gap, but people are always the most difficult to replenish, Cheng Biguang firmly believes. (To be continued.) )
