The destroyers and light cruisers of the U.S. Navy were the first to leave Norfolk Naval Base, followed by capital ships such as 'Philadelphia-class' heavy cruisers and battleships and battlecruisers, and finally light cruisers and destroyers. A large number of light cruisers and destroyers escorted the capital ship around it, as if it were their bodyguards.

The flagship of the U.S. Navy was the battleship USS Pennsylvania, and six Pennsylvania-class battleships formed a battleship detachment, the 1st battleship detachment. Six 'Nevada-class' battleships formed the 2nd Battleship Detachment, and two 'New York-class' battleships and three 'Wyoming-class' battleships formed the 3rd Battleship Detachment. Two 'Florida-class' battleships, two 'Delaware-class' battleships, two 'South Carolina-class' battleships, and two 'Mississippi-class' battleships formed the 4th Battleship Detachment. The remaining 5 'Connecticut-class' battleships formed the 5th Battleship Squadron. 6 battleships of the British Navy formed the 6th Battleship Detachment. The U.S. Navy's 10 battle cruisers were also divided into two detachments, of which four 'Colorado-class' battlecruisers formed the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment, and the remaining three 'South Dakota-class' battlecruisers and three 'North Carolina-class' battlecruisers formed the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment.

In addition, the U.S. Navy's 32 'Philadelphia-class' heavy cruisers were divided into four heavy cruiser detachments, each of which had eight heavy cruisers. The British fleet's eight 'Edinburgh-class' heavy cruisers formed the 5th Heavy Cruiser Detachment. The fifty light cruisers of the US Navy were divided into five light cruiser detachments of 10 light cruisers each. The 16 light cruisers of the British fleet were also divided into two detachments, and the American detachment was eight light cruisers. On the part of destroyers. The eighty destroyers of the US Navy were divided into eight detachments of 10 destroyers each. The 20 destroyers of the British fleet were also divided into two detachments of ten destroyers each. In addition to these warships, there are more than a dozen large transport ships that will provide replenishment for the more than 200 warships of the US-British combined fleet. At least two months of operations at sea for the fleet!

Amid the sound of a steam whistle, more than 200 warships of the US-British Combined Fleet slowly sailed out of the Norfolk Naval Base and sailed south, carrying the hopes of the United States and even the American people. They will be the last force of the United States against China, and if they can win, then the United States may be able to turn the tables in this war. If even they lose. Then the United States may really be finished!

Commander of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet and Commander of the U.S.-British Combined Fleet, William Brown. Admiral Benson stood in the bridge of the battleship "Pennsylvania" and was filled with emotion. As a senior admiral of the U.S. Navy and a student of Mahan, the representative of the U.S. Navy, he personally participated in the first two Sino-American naval battles in the Pacific. However, the first two naval battles ended in a crushing defeat for the US Navy. Because of this, the United States has completely lost its interests in the Pacific direction, so that the United States is exposed to the squadron and may be attacked by the squadron at any time! As a result, the interests of the United States have been greatly damaged, and it has been threatened by China in its subsequent development. And now, once China's strength is sufficient, it has launched a war of annihilation against the United States. Once the United States is defeated, the result can be imagined!

"Dean. This time I will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese and avenge you! "William. Admiral Benson said secretly in his heart. Mahan was killed in the First Pacific Naval Battle between China and the United States. Admiral Benson was very remorseful and had always wanted to avenge Mahan. However, in the Second Sino-American Pacific Naval War, he was again defeated and captured by the Chinese. But even so, he did not give up, and he hoped that one day he would succeed. And now. He seems to have seen the day of success. The U.S. Navy dispatched thirty advanced battleships and 10 battle cruisers this time, plus six battleships of the British Navy, which is already ten times the size of the Chinese Navy in terms of capital ships! William. Admiral Benson has every reason to believe that this victory in the naval battle will definitely belong to the United States!

"Your Excellency, the fleet has departed. Course adjustments are underway. We expect to be able to arrive in the Bahamas in 5 days! "The Chief of Staff of the Joint Fleet of the United States and Great Britain Edward. Lieutenant General Abor reported. Norfolk Naval Base is just over 1,300 kilometers from the Bahamas, and if you sail at full speed, it will only take two days to arrive. But the Chinese Navy has not yet crossed the Mona Strait, so the US-British combined fleet will deliberately slow down so that when it reaches the waters near the Bahamas, the troops can immediately go into battle!

"Hmmm! Let the seaplanes of the Bahamas pay attention to search the surrounding seas, and report to us as soon as they find traces of Chinese! In addition, let some reconnaissance ships disguised as cargo ships also go to the route of the Chinese and wait, so that the Chinese do not have to slip away! "William. Admiral Benson ordered. At this moment, he is no longer worried about whether he will be able to win the Chinese Navy, he is worried about whether the Chinese Navy will turn and slip away, in that case, it will be very difficult for the US Navy to catch the Chinese Navy in the vast Atlantic. William. Admiral Benson doesn't want the opportunity to slip away!

"Yes, General, I'll give the Scout Fleet all the strength!" Edward. Lieutenant General Abor said. He knew that this time was crucial for the U.S. Navy, and if the Chinese Navy slipped away, it would most likely be undone.

The news of the departure of the main force of the US Navy from the Norfolk naval base was also learned by the Chinese military intelligence agency spies in the United States, but the United States also did a better and better job of counterintelligence measures, and the agents of the military intelligence agency sent the information back to China a day later, and then reported it to the General Staff and the Admiralty. The Admiralty then sent the information to the Chinese Navy's Expeditionary Fleet, and it was already January 6 when the commander of the Chinese Navy's Expeditionary Fleet, Marshal Li Dingxin, received the information. Fortunately, the intelligence was not too late, and the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet was preparing to cross the Mona Strait into the Atlantic.

"Commander, it seems that this time the Yankees are desperate! Thirty battleships, 10 battlecruisers, 32 heavy cruisers, fifty light cruisers and eighty destroyers, this is already the full strength of the US Navy! As long as we can send them all to the bottom of the Atlantic, the Americans will lose! Vice Admiral Hai Zhengsheng, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, lamented. The U.S. Navy has assembled such a strong strength, which is indeed very shocking! The U.S. Navy was defeated by China in the first two Sino-American naval battles in the Pacific, and lost a lot of warships. But now, again, with a powerful fleet, this is enough to prove the formidable industrial power of the United States. This also proves the correctness of Emperor Wang Yuze's strategy of defeating the United States first and then advancing into Europe. If we do not defeat the United States first, once the United States develops, it will be very difficult to compete for world hegemony with this country with the world's largest industrial strength. Even if we can win, I am afraid that we will pay an unbearable price for it!

"But that's not all! There were also six battleships, 8 heavy cruisers, 16 light cruisers and 20 destroyers of the British. The British also threw their old Ben in, and if we were all killed in this battle, I am afraid they would not even have the strength to block the Germans! Marshal Li Dingxin, commander of the home fleet of the Chinese Navy, said. The British Navy now has only 22 battleships left, and in addition to the six advanced battleships sent to the United States, there are only 16 left. Although the German Navy had already lost its main force in the Battle of the North Sea, the remaining capital ships, if repaired, would also pose a great threat to the British!

"Commander, the enemy is menacing! We'll have to take advantage of this battle! Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng said. After all, the entire combined fleet of the United States and Britain has a total of 46 capital ships, which is three times the size of the Chinese Navy's home fleet. Without the killer feature of the aircraft carrier formation, it will be very difficult for the Chinese Navy to win against the US fleet!

"I have already asked the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, General Chen, in detail, and he said that although there are more than 40 capital ships of the US-British joint fleet, they are nothing for the more than 300 carrier-based aircraft of four aircraft carriers! Only being able to launch several waves of attacks in a row is enough to send all these capital ships to the bottom of the sea! What's more, won't we still be there then? Although the future naval battle will inevitably be the era of aircraft carriers, at present our battleships are not vegetarians, and they can still sink the capital ships of the Yankees! Aircraft carriers eat meat, and it is always no problem for us to drink some soup! Marshal Li Dingxin said with a smile. After knowing the strength of the US-British combined fleet, he had already discussed this issue with Vice Admiral Chen Yuankun, commander of the aircraft carrier formation, that although the number of capital ships of the British-US combined fleet was large, the aircraft carrier could launch an attack from 200 kilometers away and send them all to the bottom of the sea outside the strike range of the British-American combined fleet!

On January 7, the expeditionary fleet of the Chinese Navy entered the Atlantic Ocean from the Mona Strait, and then turned north. The Chinese side has also learned of the movements of the US Navy, and they will not be afraid of the main force of the US Navy, but will think that this is an opportunity for a decisive battle with the US Navy! Since the U.S. Navy wants to engage in the waters near the Bahamas, let this area become the burial place of the combined U.S. and British fleet! (To be continued.) m. Reading. )
