Bermuda is famous for its mysterious Bermuda Triangle. In later generations, there has been a lot of scientific evidence to prove that the mysterious and terrifying legend is nothing more than a hoax, and the so-called alien base is more like an unknown conjecture for people to explore space in a special era.

It is England's oldest overseas territory. Because of the abundance of Bermuda juniper cypress, it was also the world's most famous source of wooden sailing ships, and the Bermuda dhow was the fastest warship in the world at that time, and its excellent maneuverability made it the main warship of the British Royal Navy.

But two years earlier, with the Allies liberating Britain, Scotland becoming independent, brothers separating, and England weakened to take care of its overseas territories, the U.S. Marines captured Bermuda and established naval bases in Hamilton and Freeport on the island of Ireland. In response to the threat posed to the East Coast of the United States by the Han after the lease of the Azores from Portugal.

One east and one west, in the North Pacific, the Azores and the Bermuda Group are like two bridgeheads attacking Europe and North America, and their strategic location is very important. Although Bermuda has very limited habitable area compared to the Azores due to its dense coral reefs and limited shipping routes, Bermuda is only 970 kilometers from South Carolina on the east coast of the United States, 1,600 kilometers northeast of Miami, Florida, and 1,200 kilometers southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Moreover, the British colonists also built a Kendeli Field Airport on St. George's Island in Bermuda, which could be used to bomb many important targets on the east coast of the United States, including the largest city of New York and the capital Washington, D.C., as long as the Allies occupied it. Such an important strategic enclave, of course, the US military will not give up.

It didn't matter if Britain and the United States were important allies of each other, but now that England has thrown itself into the arms of the Chinese League and become an enemy of the United States, the occupation of Bermuda by the United States has become the first measure to defend the security of the east coast.

Admiral King, commander of the US Atlantic Fleet, once bluntly said: The Han navy has already controlled the Azores and has numerous bases in the eastern part of the North Atlantic, and if Bermuda's free port is ceded again, then the North Atlantic will not be far from becoming the bathtub of the Han navy.

In fact, after the departure of the combined fleet of the Chinese Union from the port of Victory in the Azores, an extremely difficult choice was made for the three attack routes provided for in the "Zheng He" plan.

It is called difficult because the capture of Bermuda will not solve much of a problem for the subsequent landing campaign of more than 2 million Allied troops compared to the other two routes.

Bermuda's seven main islands, as well as its many smaller islands, are very few suitable locations for garrisons. More than 2 million troops, plus vehicles and equipment, even if they are tiled in Bermuda, it is impossible to pave them.

From the point of view of landing, of course, it is more appropriate to capture and land in Cuba or even directly land on the Florida peninsula.

But Bermuda's strategic location makes it impossible to give up the sea, and the temptation to take off fighter jets to bomb the U.S. capital in Bermuda is hard to resist. The main thing is that after the Allied occupation of Bermuda, it will inevitably attract a full-scale counterattack by the US Atlantic Fleet, so that the Combined Fleet will have a chance to fight a decisive battle with the US Navy.

Imagine the scene of the decisive battle of dozens of aircraft carriers on both sides, and then think about the possibility of taking this opportunity to destroy the main force of the US Navy in one fell swoop, and the Royal Navy dominates the four seas, Guan Canghai feels that he is trembling all over.

The Huameng Combined Fleet, composed of more than 400 warships of all kinds, simply went on a rampage to North America, putting on a posture of "I'm going to fight you, you're coming to bite me!" ".

What supports the combined fleet to dare to be so barbaric and unreasonable, of course, is the superpower of the Allied navies.

On paper, the Atlantic Fleet, which has 34 aircraft carriers, is not inferior to the Combined Fleet in terms of the number of aircraft carriers and fighters, but only eight of them are Essex main carriers, and the rest are all escort carriers. Although they are all called aircraft carriers, there is a huge gap between the escort aircraft carrier and the main aircraft carrier in terms of combat power.

If the Essex-class is a maritime combat platform similar to the Marshal and Soyuz-class of the Great Han, then the escort aircraft carrier is a single sea flight runway. Because of the limited construction speed of the Essex-class aircraft carriers, the Americans, who urgently needed a large number of aircraft carriers, were inspired by Japan's transformation of oil tankers into aircraft carriers, and built a large number of escort aircraft carriers based on merchant ships, and successively developed multi-class aircraft carriers such as the Avenger class, the Borg class, the Sangamon class, and the Casablanca class.

The U.S. Navy hopes to use these escort aircraft carriers to make up for the gap with the Han Navy's strategy, and at worst, they can also play the role of cannon fodder in naval warfare. After the U.S. military entered the European War, in the face of the threat of the German Sea Wolves, and then in the ship attack war taken over by the Han submarine force, these escort aircraft carriers played a great role, not only in front of the transport fleet, using carrier-based aircraft to reconnoitre, attacking submarines, or guiding surface ships to carry out attacks, but also played the role of transport ships.

When the Mediterranean naval battle was lost and the multinational force fled Casablanca, those escort aircraft carriers played a decisive role, transporting a large number of troops and equipment to flee Africa. The name of the newest first-class escort aircraft carrier of the United States is "Casablanca" is to commemorate the meritorious service of this type of warship.

However, Admiral King, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, who had experienced a crushing defeat in the Battle of Malta, was well aware that the survival rate of the extremely poorly protected escort aircraft carriers in the face of a fierce attack by the Allied fleet was very limited. Many fighters that take off on escort aircraft carriers will lose the opportunity to land due to damage to the mothership even if they can return safely in battle after takeoff.

The aircraft is okay to say, the important thing is to have experienced carrier-based aircraft pilots. After the Battle of Malta and the sinking of the aircraft carrier Dragoon, Admiral King strongly demanded that the pilot be equipped with an ejection escape device for the design of the carrier-based aircraft. This is also supported by many admirals.

God willing, before the Allies captured Britain, the once most important ally, the British government transferred a large number of important materials to the United States. There is also a theory that the Americans took advantage of the fire and looted and sent special forces to obtain these materials from the British in an extremely disgraceful way.

In Admiral Jin's opinion, it doesn't matter what method you get, even if you rob it, it's better than leaving it to the Han people! The most important thing is that after obtaining the design drawings of the British lightning plane, the fighters built by the United States were able to copy and install the pilot's ejection seat.

Admiral Kim believed that such a device would allow more pilots to escape in desperate situations, such as those ...... Pilots of carrier-based aircraft serving on escort aircraft carriers.

Within the U.S. Navy, the protection of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico in Central America was handed over to Nimitz's Pacific Fleet, while Admiral King's Atlantic ships were tasked with guarding the east coast of the United States.

Both Kim and Nimitz were dissatisfied with this conservative strategy, and the navy was never a defensive service. A strong fleet should attack, attack, and attack again.

But the big men in the White House and the Admiralty in Washington seem to have been frightened by the Allies. After communicating with Nimitz, the two admirals argued that they were finally given more autonomy to command operations on the premise that they had to give priority to preventing the Allied landing.

On 5 May, the advance fleets of the Combined Fleet, the aircraft carriers Yuan Hao (Tian Feng) and Ziyuan (Xu You), dispatched carrier-based aircraft J-15 "Eagle" fighters and G-41 "Brute Dragon" attack planes to attack the US naval base Freeport and Kendley Field Airport in Bermuda, indicating that the allied forces were about to land on the Bermuda Islands.

Admiral Kim did not rush to send carrier-based aircraft to fight back.

Bermuda cannot be lost, but the Atlantic Fleet must also be cautious in its sorties. With only two Marshal-class aircraft carriers dispatched by the Allies, any impulse that could not accurately locate the rest of the Allied fleets could plunge the Atlantic Fleet into the abyss.

Admiral King expects himself to be a hero to the United States, and he never wants to be a sinner for the ages who buried the U.S. Navy.

"It's not easy to land in Bermuda!" The U.S. Marine Corps' assault on Bermuda was under the full command of Admiral King, who knew how difficult it would be to find a suitable landing ground around the reef-strewn Bermuda archipelago. Even in the case of a freeport, there is only one route for large ships to enter and exit.

When the U.S. forces attacked, they landed on Elbo Beach on the east side of Bermuda and Clearwater Beach in St. George's, and faced the British Governor's Army, which had only 700 men and was poorly equipped, and the elite Marines also paid the price of nearly 300 casualties.

Admiral King did not think that the Allies could capture Bermuda in a short period of time, as the U.S. military not only reinforced fortifications in various key places on the Bermuda Islands, but also deployed a squadron of triangular Javelin interceptors, and the Atlantic Fleet cruising around to provide fire support to the Marines stationed on the island.

"Perhaps, you can also seize the opportunity and inflict heavy damage on the combined fleet!"

On the CV-13 "Franklin" aircraft carrier, the commander's eagle eyes flashed with a cold light, and there was a chance to defeat the arrogant Huameng Combined Fleet, and there was a chance to humiliate the hateful Han man who had humiliated the Atlantic Fleet, and Admiral Kim was also trembling with excitement.

Guan Canghai didn't know that he was being remembered, let alone that Admiral Jin had made defeating him the highest goal in his life.

The tentative attack of the advance fleet did not lead to the Atlantic Fleet, and Caring realized that this time his opponent would be treacherous enough to be difficult to deal with.

"People are not fooled, what do you think?"

Zhong Tianguo, Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chief of Staff of the Northern Fleet and Captain of the command ship Zhongmou, is Guan Canghai's hand number think tank. It is said that with the chief of staff of the Han Emperor's own family, there is also a sister named Allure.

Daring to come up with such an arrogant name, Commander Guan has admired this sister for a long time, but he has never seen it. On several occasions, Chief of Staff Zhong was on leave to visit relatives, and Commander Guan wanted to go with him, but he was politely refused.

"Grandma, it's not like you're going to tease your daughter-in-law, can't you get to know your sister?"

Commander Guan has been complaining about this matter for a long time!
