Because I don't know that the Republic of China has made a major breakthrough in the field of quantum wine technology sales, I have opened a consciousness remote control fighter with the significance of the Ge Xiao era, so when formulating the battle plan. The U.S. Navy did not adequately consider the air threat. Didn't even think about the air threat.

According to the assumption of the US military, the fleet of the Republic will definitely go north from the Strait of Jamaica.

Prior to this, the Navy fleet of the Republic had already moved north from the Strait of Jamaica and shelled the US military base at Guantanamo, but it had not yet participated in the war and had not sent troops to Cuba. Affected by this, the US Navy believes that after the Republic fleet moves north from the Jamaica Strait, it will certainly attack the Guantanamo base again, strike at the US military bases deployed on the large and small Inagua, and assume the posture of entering the waters of the Bahamas from the Windward Strait and then going northeast from the Bahamas to encircle and annihilate the US fleet that has already entered the Florida Strait.

It must be admitted that this analysis of the US military is not correct.

If the Republican naval fleet chooses to go north from the Windward Channel and then enter the North Atlantic along the route east of the Bahamas, the purpose will certainly be more than just encircling and annihilating the U.S. fleet. By this time, the U.S. fleet, which had already entered the Florida Strait, would have no choice but to continue sailing westward, into the Gulf of Mexico, and remain in the Gulf of Mexico forever. Don't think about breaking out of the encirclement of the Republic's navy again, or turn around and sail eastward, and fight a decisive battle with the Republic's naval fleet across the Bahamas. Because the mission of the U.S. Navy is to ensure the security of the homeland and avoid the attack on the coastal cities of the homeland. The Republic Navy fleet is likely to go north from the east of the Bahamas to deal with the eastern region where the population of the United States is most concentrated, especially the northeastern coastal area centered on the megacities of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, etc., so the US Navy must show off the idea of a decisive battle with the Republic Navy in the Florida Strait or in the Gulf of Mexico, even if it is not an opponent of the Republic Navy, it must make the greatest efforts before the Republic fleet goes north.

The problem is that there is a very big doubt in this judgment of the US Navy.

That is. If the Republican Navy were tasked with striking the eastern part of the United States, it would try to avoid the American fleet, so there was no need to go north from the Windward Channel, or even into Jamaica Haiva, but from the safer Mona Strait, which was between Domizuga and Puerto Rico. Of course, it is also possible that the purpose of the Republican Navy is the opposite, that is, to destroy the last remaining fleet of the United States Navy. In this way, the naval fleet of the Republic would not enter the Windward Strait, but should turn westward after entering the Strait of Jamaica, that is, from the south of the island of Cuba to the Cayman Islands, across the island of Cuba from the U.S. fleet operating in the Florida Strait

War.

Undoubtedly, these two scenarios have one thing in common, that is, there is no reason for the Republican fleet to enter the Windward Strait, and even more so to appear in the waters east of the Bahamas.

As a result, the operational deployment of the US Navy went wrong. According to the U.S. Navy's operational records, the Republican Navy fleet entered the Jamaica Strait and was soon spotted by a submarine ambushed in the area. Because the U.S. Navy Command issued a supreme order requiring all ships on reconnaissance and alert missions to report the situation as soon as they arrived at the Republican Navy fleet, the submarine fired several communication buoys before the Republican fleet left, sending extremely valuable tactical information. Of course, the submarine immediately lost contact with the US submarine base in Pensacola.

This is confirmed by the operational records of the Navy of the Republic. After the eight main fleets divided into two fleet groups entered the Strait of Jamaica, several US submarines appeared, and at least one of them succeeded in sending out information, and none of these US submarines escaped.

At this time, the U.S. military had already affirmed that the main fleet of the Republic Navy was heading north.

The problem is that submarines are now only 4 out of 8 main fleets.

The problem before the US military is very real. That is, the combat effectiveness of the four main fleets of the Republic Navy is more than the only six main fleets of the US Navy. That is, as long as the commander of the Navy of the Republic had enough guts, he would have made the 4 main fleets turn westward, and let the other 4 lead to the Windward Strait. Although dividing forces is a taboo for soldiers, and even in the case of superior strength, they should not take the initiative to disperse their forces, but previous battles have long proved that the Republic Navy not only has more powerful capital ships. The supporting system is also much more advanced than that of the US military. Because the U.S. fleet sailing westward had to reduce its navigation to about 30 knots due to the influence of shoals and reefs when it entered the waters near the Marquesas Islands west of the Florida Strait, the U.S. Navy fleet could not make a decision within four hours whether to advance and go to the safer Gulf of Mexico, otherwise it would be overtaken by the Republican Navy fleet.

It is not easy to make such a major decision in 4 hours.

No matter how advanced the technology is, this kind of decision-making at the level of battle and strategy still needs to be controlled by people, not replaced by computers.

In fact, the US military does not have much choice.

If you turn around, you will not only be engaged with the fleet group consisting of 4 main fleets that are already present, but also likely to encounter another fleet group, that is, with 8 main fleets. If you continue to sail westward at the same level, you will definitely be caught up because you will have to reduce the number ahead. The biggest problem is that even if you speed up your voyage and go to the Gulf of Mexico, you will eventually have a decisive battle with the Republican Navy's fleet, and it is important that under such circumstances, the Navy will definitely divide up its forces and move northward with less than half of the main fleet to attack the East Coast of the United States.

Affected by this, the American fleet did not add.

According to the U.S. Navy's operational records, the U.S. military's idea at that time was to fight a decisive battle with the main fleet of the Republic Navy at the western end of the Florida Strait. In the event of a resounding victory, the U.S. fleet would turn eastward and hold back another fleet group. In the event of heavy losses, the U.S. fleet would continue westward into the Gulf of Mexico. Of course, if the U.S. fleet is completely destroyed, no plan will be useful.

The key, of course, is to figure out the movements of the naval fleet of the republic.

Because the sea area between Jamaica and Cuba is very narrow, even though the average depth of the Cayman Trench is above the blade meter, it is one of the most suitable areas for submarine activities in the Caribbean, and the US military has not sent submarines to the area. In order to find out the whereabouts of the Republican naval fleet, the US military had to let all the reconnaissance planes deployed on Guantanamo and Inagua, after receiving the submarine alert, take off.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to have a fleet of hundreds of large warships.

It is not difficult to find two such fleet groups in such a narrow sea area.

As a matter of fact, US reconnaissance planes have secretly appeared in two main fleets, an air fleet group south of Jamaica, and a large number of large planes taking off from sea bases.

All this now confirms the judgment of the U.S. military that the purpose of the Republican Navy is not just to seize sea supremacy.

The problem is that this judgment does not deceive in any way

The blow came very suddenly, and the US military was not prepared at all!

According to the combat records of the US Navy, it was not until the time of receipt of the information that the reconnaissance plane had returned. That is, the main fleet of the Republic Navy was still approaching, and when it was a kilometer away, the US First Fleet in the waters south of Orange Island was bombed first.

The record is unequivocal, bombing, not shelling.

The bombardment was not very intense, but it was very accurate.

According to the recollections of some survivors, when the battle alarm sounded, the fleet immediately went into air defense. Because the fleet could be bombed as soon as it entered the Florida Strait, various computer-controlled air defense systems had already been turned on. is in working condition. It is a pity that in the face of sudden bombing, the air defense system capable of shooting down high-pitched anti-ship missiles flying at the degree of Mach and intercepting large-caliber electromagnetic artillery shells has become an ornament and has not been able to play its due role at all. What is even worse is that the anti-aircraft fire control system on the US warship did not even have time to calculate the flight trajectory of the target. Some of the first U.S. officers and men to board the lifeboats were fortunate enough to witness the final scene of the bombing.

In the words of an American Navy officer. As if the sky had been torn apart by lightning, the beams of light instantly enveloped the battleship on the sea, and then there was an explosion like the sky and the earth cracking. When the smoke cleared, only the sinking hull of the ship and the officers and men waiting to be rescued were left on the sea.

There are even many US officers and men who believe that it is not the navy of the Republic that strikes them, but the all-powerful Shang, the emperor.

This suspicion caused a lot of panic.

It must be admitted that the officers and men of the US Navy are not cowards. As a nation founded by pirates, exiles, and explorers, the United States has a deep maritime culture, which is the fundamental reason why the United States can replace Britain as the global hegemon. Whether it was during the Revolutionary War, during the Civil War, during the Spanish-American War, or during World War I, World War II, and World War III, the United States never lacked excellent naval officers and men. If it were not for the completely incomprehensible situation, the officers and men of the US Navy would not have such a ridiculous idea.

In fact. Until the loss of the ability to go to sea. The U.S. Navy didn't even understand what forces brought down the "last fleet." ”

Within minutes of the attack on the First Fleet, the other three main fleets of the Second Fleet. and the two main fleets of the Sixth Fleet were fully bombed.

Because when the battle broke out, it was 10,000 days of the year, and the eastern time was still out of the night. That's why this naval battle is also known as the "Battle of Christmas." Or the "Battle of Christmas Eve". There is no doubt that for the US Navy, the short Christmas Eve was definitely not peaceful, because the battle on this night gave the US Navy a sign of rest that was not satisfactory, and even forged with shame. In just a few minutes, the U.S. Navy was almost completely wiped out.

Among the six main fleets, the two main fleets with capital ships and the Sixth Fleet each have six capital ships, the four main fleets of the Second Fleet each have eight capital ships, the island cruisers have eight each, and the gills destroyers and the four main fleets of the Second Fleet each have old ships. The 6th Fleet, the Diwang Fleet has old ships, and also has strong auxiliary ships.

These warships, without exception, were bombed.

By the time the bombardment was over, the capital ship cruiser, the wounded destroyer and 3 auxiliary ships had sunk into the sea, and the remainder. Several ships floated on the surface for hours to days. It was not until the end of the day that the battleship exploded in the ammunition seat about four hours after the US Navy abandoned the operation to save the USS Orlando and left the ship that had been floating at sea for nearly six days after being left to fend for itself. The last battleship of this naval battle sank into the Big

Although the US Navy only lost the main fleet and the air fleet did not participate in the war, the US Navy did not dare to let the air fleet remaining at the Norfolk naval base act rashly until it had figured out the reasons for the total annihilation of the main fleet, and even had to let several air fleets go north to Boston for refuge at the beginning of the year. Other words. With the end of this naval battle, the U.S. Navy terminated the mission operations of large warships in addition to normal transfers.

Soon, the U.S. military learned that the purpose of the Republic's Navy was indeed not just to seize sea supremacy.

"The Battle of Christmas. Less than an hour after the end of the day, the Cape Calavallal Space Launch Center in Florida was heavily shelled for a concave minute!

According to the operational record of the Navy of the Republic. Participating in the shelling were the four main fleets of the second main fleet group, and a total of Wu capital ships, cruisers, and must-have multi-purpose destroyers participated in the shelling operation, and nearly 10,000 tons of shells were dropped at the old space center more than 4 kilometers away in a few minutes!

There is no doubt that this shelling is enough to describe it as "fearful, small."

Because the shelling was too intense, and there was no specific main target, it was completely covered repeatedly. Until all the ammunition in the ship's ammunition depot is exhausted. Therefore, at the end of the shelling, not only were all the ground facilities of the space launch center devastated, but even the ground was cut by nearly 3 meters. What's more, the seawall to the east was also shelled, and the sea quickly flooded the entire firing range. In other words, after this shelling, even if the US authorities have the ability to repair the infrastructure of the spacefield, they will not be able to pump out hundreds of millions of tons of seawater in a short period of time. Whether the US authorities want to admit it or not, the Cape Calavellar Space Launch Center is history.

For the United States, this is a small blow.

Although geographically, the Cape Calavillar Space Launch Center is not superior to Houston, Texas, mainly facing the Atlantic Ocean, and even if the launch fails, the wreckage of the rocket and space shuttle will fall into the Atlantic Ocean II and will not pose a threat to nearby towns, but this is also destined to make Cape Calavall unable to become a major space launch base in the United States, and it will never be possible to cross Houston.

In fact, by the time of the introduction of the century, the status of the Kuswashiro ground space launch center was far less than before.

You know, in the era when it was possible to build a sea base with a total displacement of more than 10,000 tons, any ground facility could be moved to the sea, and even a mobile city could be built on the sea. There is no doubt that conducting space launch at sea can not only avoid the problems of many ground-based space launch centers. It can also greatly improve economic benefits. To know. Purely theoretically speaking, the ideal point of space shooting is on the equator, and the Republic and the United States are both countries in the northern hemisphere, and neither of them has a territory located on the equator, so it is impossible to establish a space launch center on the equator.

More importantly, the military value of the sea-based launch center clearly exceeds that of the ground-based launch center.

As a result, long before the outbreak of World War III, the Republic and the United States shifted their main spaceshooting activities to the sea, and several sea-based space-launching centers were specially built. After the outbreak of the Great War, with the commissioning of a large number of sea bases, sea space launchers accounted for the vast majority of the share. If necessary. Any third-generation or higher maritime base can undertake space launch missions.

It is precisely for this reason that Cape Calavirard has rarely undertaken space launch missions, and has been transformed from a space launch center into a space control center, that is, a ground control station for space activities. It's just that due to historical influences, it used to be the largest space shuttle launch base in the United States, and it is still called a space launch center, not a space control center.

Of course, the US authorities certainly cannot ignore this effect.

The republic's navy shelled Cape Calavirard first, which had already exposed the basic strategy of the republic. That was when the attack on the American mainland was imminent. Giving priority to seizing the right to dominate the sky, that is, to make the United States lose its space capability!

This judgment was quickly confirmed.

On the day of the moon, the old tricks of the Navy of the Republic were repeated. Nearly 10,000 tons of shells turned the Houston Space Launch Center into ruins. Although, like Cape Calaverare, the Houston Space Launch Center has long ceased to be a ground control and command center for space activities, the shelling still shocked the US authorities, as nearly a third of the ammunition fell in the city, wreaking havoc on the Houston Operations, which is home to millions of people. It has led to tens of millions of people flocking to the suburbs along with several neighboring cities.

Before the strategic bombing began, the effects of the strategic strike became apparent.

In the next few days, the First Main Fleet Group, operating in the waters south of the Yucatan Strait, rained small shells on large and medium-sized cities in the Gulf of Mexico in a very regular manner, that is, once every fall, and the amount of ammunition dropped was about 10,000 tons.

There is no doubt that this concentrated blow caused great panic in the United States.

But that's just the beginning!
