Chapter 279: Declaration of War

On November 9, the Huaxia government, which had been silent for several days, finally expressed its position, and the foreign minister made a statement expressing his respect for the democratic choice of the Hawaiian people, hoping that the two countries could establish friendly exchanges, and that Huaxia would send an ambassador to Hawaii to establish the Huaxia Embassy.

As for the rumors that the matter in Hawaii was planned by Huaxia, Wu Yanfang didn't explain anything, let them guess. Although Huaxia did not admit to playing a role in the Hawaii incident, Huaxia's statements all showed support for Hawaii, which further confirmed the rumors planned by Huaxia.

The Queen of Hawaii's calm heart finally relaxed after seeing the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, she has been waiting for Huaxia's statement for the past few days, and she has not realized that it was not Huaxia who helped her regain most of the indigenous people and descendants of various countries in Hawaii.

On the same day, the queen publicly thanked Huaxia for its support, and the two countries would definitely establish friendly exchanges, and sent a telegram to the APEC headquarters in the imperial capital of China hoping to join the Asian Economic Circle, and at the same time claimed to apply for joining the Chinese federal empire on behalf of all the people of Hawaii and becoming a member of China.

If it is said that the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China is a bomb, then the action of the Queen of Hawaii is a comet hitting the earth, no one would have imagined that these two countries would blatantly pit the United States, and that Huaxia is still landing troops in Luzon despite the opposition of the United States, which is no different from declaring war on the United States.

The United States did not care about the Hawaii affairs directly on the head of Huaxia, as for Germany, they automatically ignored it, nonsense, in the Hawaii incident, the Japanese were the main force, and at this time, the only way to mobilize these Japanese was to conquer Fuso's Huaxia.

On the 10th, in the waters near Manila, the Chinese fleet and the Pacific Fleet of the United States were facing off, and the United States fleet wanted to enter the port of Manila, but the Chinese fleet did not give way, which made the commander of the United States fleet very angry.

"Bastard, this is Millican's territory, and he didn't even allow us to enter the port, and let us go away, it's too much of a deception!"

The total tonnage and strength of the warships of the Pacific Fleet are far from being the opponents of the Huaxia Fleet, which concentrates the South China Sea Fleet and the South China Fleet, and the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Nikel, can only watch the opposing fleet get angry.

"When will the Southeast Asian fleet arrive?"

"Report to the chief, the Southeast Asian fleet was intercepted by the German fleet not long ago, and it is expected to arrive here in two hours!"

The Southeast Asian Fleet was originally in the waters of Southeast Asia, but it was intercepted by the German fleet in the fleet, and it was never able to get rid of the interception, so that it arrived in Manila later than the Pacific Fleet.

"Two hours, I'm so angry, I'm still in a hurry to go back to Hawaii!" Nikkor also knew about the Hawaii incident, and he was very anxious, the fleet's lair was about to be occupied by the natives in his eyes, how could he not be in a hurry.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran to Nikkor and shouted: "Report to the commander, the Chinese fleet has sent a telegram asking us to withdraw from this sea area, they are going to conduct a live-fire drill here, the shells have no eyes, if they hurt us, we will not be responsible!" ”

With a bang, the telescope in Nikel's hand was smashed to the deck by him and shattered, and the soldiers next to him were all startled and sweating.

"I don't believe they dare to fire at us, so that the ships are ready for battle!" Nikkor said that this was not very confident, and the difference in strength was too much.

Li Yunhai on the other side saw that the Pacific Fleet of the United States did not show any signs of movement and knew that they would not retreat, and he admired Nikkor very much, but he still gave an order to let the two fleets conduct a real drill, deterring each other and deepening the ability of the two fleets to cooperate with each other.

"Boom ......"

The South China Sea Fleet and the warships of the South China Fleet were conducting tactical drills, and they accurately blew up one target after another.

At this time, the Pacific Fleet was even more aggrieved, and couldn't wait to rush up to beat the Huaxia Fleet with a fat beating, laughing while beating: "Look at you, see if you dare to stop us!" ”

Although it was a live ammunition fired, the Huaxia fleet did not waste its own shells on a large scale, but only fired a few cannons with heavy thunder and rain, and then constantly changed the formation, and even practiced a hand-to-hand warship snatching battle. The more the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet on the side looked at it, the more shocked they became, and the strength and tacit cooperation completely exploded them.

The drill lasted for an hour before it ended, and during this hour, the entire Pacific Fleet could be described as completely chilled and frightened!

Li Yunhai looked at the soldiers who were resting with great interest, and wanted to continue the exercise, but he also received the news that the Southeast Asian fleet of the United States would arrive here in an hour, and the combined strength of the two fleets of the United States was only slightly weaker than his fleet, after all, the South China Fleet had only received the fleet of the Netherlands in its entirety, and its strength was not very good.

An hour later, the Southeast Asian fleet really appeared in the waters near Manila, and as soon as they arrived, they immediately joined the Pacific Fleet, and they were also very vigilant against the Chinese fleet in front of them.

After seeing the Southeast Asian fleet, Nikk's confidence also hardened, and he directly telegraphed the Huaxia fleet to let them enter Manila, which contained the citizens of the United States who were in urgent need of rescue, warning the Huaxia fleet not to be capricious, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

Where would Li Yunhai be frightened by a few words, ignore it, and the fleet of the country would not dare to make a move, would he even wish that the other party would do it!

Not long after, the U.S. fleet suddenly surrounded it, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, and even clouds began to appear in the sky.

"Sir, are you going to go to war?" An officer standing next to Nikkor asked in a cold sweat if he didn't want a real war.

Nikkor was very silent, his face was very solemn, he just wanted to put pressure on the Huaxia fleet to achieve the purpose of entering the port of Manila, but the Huaxia fleet did not panic as he imagined, but held the port motionless.

Just when Nikkor thought he had failed, a cannon shot broke the tension, and he saw a cannonball pass over him, and then hit the flagpole of one of the warships at the front of the Chinese fleet, and the flagpole fell in response.

Nikkor was stunned in an instant, the Mi fleet was all stunned, and the Huaxia fleet on the opposite side was also collectively shocked, the former was thinking about where the shells came from and which bastard fired them, while the latter couldn't believe that the Mi fleet had attacked.

At this time, Li Yunhai was excited and suspicious at the same time, but it undoubtedly gave him a reason to fire, and it was a great opportunity.

"Fake, it was that bastard who sent it, immediately declare to the Huaxia Fleet that this is a misunderstanding, don't open fire!" Nikkle frantically yelled at the officer next to him, and one of the officers ran to the telegraph room.

Just when Nichol went crazy, on a Mi warship behind, a group of soldiers were frantically chasing and intercepting several artillerymen, because these artillerymen quickly killed the soldiers next to them while the other naval soldiers were stunned after firing at the Huaxia warship, and then wanted to escape but were discovered by the captain who came with the soldiers.

"Don't let them run, traitors, traitors!"

"Catch them, live!"

"Don't let them jump into the sea!"

Several artillerymen dodged in Sichuan and soon dispersed, and the soldiers who were chased to a desperate situation and had no way to escape directly committed suicide by drinking bullets, and the others jumped into the sea immediately after reaching the deck, and finally the soldiers on the ship did not catch them alive, either dead or jumped into the sea and disappeared.

"Quick, report the news here to the commander immediately, and don't let the misunderstanding get bigger and bigger!" At this time, the captain realized that he had not reported the news to the commander, but it was too late, and the Huaxia fleet fired back.

"Boom ......"

It was too late for the U.S. fleet to dodge, so it had to bite the bullet.

Because the Mi fleet surrounded it before, and the distance between it and the Huaxia fleet was less than 10,000 meters, the shells of the Huaxia fleet easily locked on one US warship after another, and the first round of attacks caused many US warships.

"Damn it, shoot back!"

Nikkor found out that he was wrong, and he should not have declared the misunderstanding to the Huaxia Fleet just now, but should have taken the opportunity to fire directly at the Huaxia Fleet without stopping, so that he could take the lead, but unfortunately he missed the great opportunity and regretted it.

The two major fleets of China were still cooperating with the drill just now, and the residual heat had not yet dissipated, and the cooperation was quite effective, and for a time the fleet of the United States kept retreating, and warships sank from time to time.

"Fighting and retreating, we must not let the fleet collapse here in an unclear way, the Huaxia fleet is too fierce!"

The Mi fleet was caught off guard by the Huaxia fleet, and the surrounding formation was broken at once, and the strength was already inferior to the other party, so it was completely at a disadvantage. Nikkor and others did not want their fleet to suffer huge losses for no apparent reason, and had to retreat.

For the retreat of the rice fleet, of course, the Huaxia fleet will catch up, and if it does not make a move, it will hit or kill the rice fleet as soon as it makes a move.

The two sides fought in the waters near Manila, fleeing and chasing, and at the same time, telegrams were sent to China and the United States.

"What, the Navy is at war with the Huaxia Fleet, is this April Fool's Day?" Wilson couldn't believe the news, and despite Yan Zhenng, who quickly realized the problem, "Investigate the cause of the matter immediately, I don't believe that Nikl bastard will attack first." Block a qiē message and don't expose it until the matter is investigated! ”

"According to Admiral Nikel's telegram, it can be learned that the general did not order the attack, but someone in the fleet launched an attack, and he did not know the specific situation, maybe we were calculated again!" The Marine Corps Commander's face was very heavy, after all, this kind of thing happened within his jurisdiction, and he had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Fake, immediately explain this matter to the Huaxia government, and let it order the Huaxia fleet to stop attacking!" Wilson could only pray that the Huaxia government would recognize the facts and stop the attack on the US fleet.

On the other side, Chen Fu and the others thought that this was an opportunity, even if there was a huge mystery in it, they would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately secretly ordered Li Haiyun to kill the warships of the United States fleet as much as possible, and if necessary, there would be a few fish that slipped through the net to pass on all the news.

Li Yunhai did not live up to the high expectations of the central government, and wiped out most of the Mi warships with very small losses, leaving only the flagship and a few seriously injured warships to escape.

The Chinese government ignored the explanation of the Mi government and disclosed in the Imperial Daily that the weapons and equipment held by the natives of Luzon were all made of rice, suspecting that this was a massacre directed and staged by the Mi government.

Then the Chinese government announced to the people of the whole country that the Chinese fleet besieged the Chinese fleet that was ambushing Manila, and the Chinese fleet fought bloodily and severely damaged the Chinese fleet after paying a heavy price, and the government now announced that it has entered hostile relations with the United States and will withdraw its diplomatic ambassador in the United States in the shortest possible time.

On November 12, the Chinese government officially declared war on the United States in an explanation from the United States government, and on the same night the decision of Hawaii to join the Chinese Federal Empire, the Chinese East Sea Fleet rushed to Hawaii with the Tiantai No. 1 aircraft carrier and Qin Yu's book to canonize the Queen of Hawaii.

Half an hour after Huaxia declared war on the United States, the United States declared war on China, and then the Entente countries had to declare war on Huaxia according to the agreement, and Chen Fu announced his accession to the Entente shortly after the meeting with the German ambassador in China.
