The two battle cruisers, the Hongwu and Kaihuang, soon sailed to New York, picked up all the supervisors who participated in the submarine search operation, and then went south to the sinking location of the Evans, turned on the active sonar under the watchful eyes of the supervisors, one to the south and the other to the north began to bombard the water with ultrasound.

This high technology made the eyes of the ministers of the various countries invited to testify widen in the United States, and it was obvious that if this thing could really find a sunken submarine from underwater, then it would also mean that it could also easily find a submarine under sail from underwater, and now that German submarines are becoming more and more rampant in the Atlantic, such a device is of great significance, especially for Britain, which is plagued by wolves.

Of course, this thing is not something that can be seen clearly, Yang Feng can't get the monitor out at this time, to put it bluntly, the sonar officer with headphones listens to whether there is a metal echo underwater, and according to the nature of the echo to determine what the other party is, as for what kind of echo corresponds to what kind of thing, whether it is active or stationary, whether it is a submarine or a school of fish, these things are all top secret, only stored in the sonarman's brain, and outsiders see that at most it is a machine that can be adjusted, and soon these ministers will be boring.

Fortunately, the search did not last long, and only three hours later, the Hongwu, which was bombarded with active sonar to the north, found a stationary metal echo, but it was not certain whether it was a submarine or a sunken ship, which had to be solved by divers. Because the target was forty meters underwater, the four divers went straight down with scuba on their backs, and after waiting for a long time, they surfaced one after another.

"Your Excellency Vice President, there is indeed a submarine underwater, without any damage, and it is obvious that it opened the sea valve and sank by itself." Commander of the American Task Force, Li He, said with a smile to US Vice President Wilson, who came together.

This news immediately caused the surrounding ministers to scream, which means that the captain of the Caesar Augustus was correct in his inference, of course, it is too early to clear the suspicion of the Germans at this time, whether the submarine did it or not, it will have to be fished out of the water later.

Fortunately, the question is very simple. A small boat of several hundred tons dozens of meters underwater, it is easy to salvage it. Soon several merchant ships and salvage equipment were brought in from Charleston, and with the help of Chinese Navy divers and the Hongwu battle cruisers, it didn't take long for the small submarine to be fished out, and by this time a large number of reporters and US Navy officers and sailors who had received the news had already arrived, and even the survivors of the Evans came, and everyone looked at the submarine fished out of the water in amazement.

It was a brand new submarine, with no damage on its body, not even any seabed attachments, and it must have sunk just a few days ago. The appearance is similar to the Holland type that the US military had before, but it is larger, with a displacement of at least three or four hundred tons, with two torpedo tubes, one of which even has an unfired torpedo, the best Bofors origin 533 heavy torpedo. However, after removing the torpedo, the Chinese torpedo crew on the Hongwu and the American torpedo crew dismantled the fuse together and found that the antimony and antimony contained in it were only one-third of the normal charge, and the rest was the most old-fashioned black fire. This power is not even half of the normal one, which would explain why the Evans was not directly blown in half.

Obviously, the person who did this work was afraid of missing the blow and prepared two, but because he might feel that his conscience could not pass, after all, this was the murder of his own countrymen. So they reduced a part of the charge, so that they could die a few less, and as a result, when they used it, the second one was not used at all, and it was impossible for them to go with torpedoes when they retreated. So simply sank along with the submarine.

The salvage of this submarine can basically be said to clear the suspicion of the Germans, and the sensation caused by this news in the United States can be described as explosive. The American people were completely enraged, and the newspapers that were originally the main war also quickly changed their tone, strongly urging the US government to thoroughly investigate the matter, to arrest the culprits behind the scenes, and to hang them, and then to comfort the dead sailors.

The ensuing investigation was not difficult, because it was confident that no one would have fished out the submarine, and there were some things left behind when the crew withdrew, and more importantly, Holland himself had gone to France, so he could not have been involved in it, but the submarine was built according to Holland VI, and the full set of construction drawings was in Isaac. Rice's electric ship company in the hands. After the Paris Peace Conference, the U.S. military banned the possession of submarines, and then Holland was poached by the French, and the electric ship company operated miserably, but fortunately, the British bought four experimental submarines from there and did not go bankrupt. And the ship in front of me is obviously the kind of design that the British want, and all the construction drawings are in the electric ship company, so it is right to look for them.

The FBI then ran to arrest Isaac Rice, but unfortunately he had already committed suicide by the time he arrived, the investor who had financed Holland's development of submarines, the founder of General Electric Boat, the super-hegemon of the world's submarine manufacturing industry in history, had taken poison in his office less than half an hour after learning that the submarine had been salvaged, and the FBI's body was hard when he found him.

However, although he died, it basically proved his suspicion, and then the FBI arrested several main directors and engineers of the electric ship company, and these people admitted after interrogation that the electric ship company had indeed built such a submarine before, but they did not know who exactly wanted it, only the dead Rice himself knew.

The launching and sea trials of this submarine were carried out in secret, and as for the crew, although they were engineers, they had never seen it, and the only thing they knew was that the submarine had been in the dock until half a month ago. After bringing the engineers to Charleston, they quickly confirmed that it was indeed the one built by the Electric Boat Company, but the FBI was able to find out all about it, and all clues were cut off when Rice died.

Of course, these are no longer important, at least not for Yang Feng, the important thing is that the good wishes of those consortium predators have failed again this time, and the clouds of war over the United States that were originally grand have disappeared immediately.

"I'll just say, how could the Germans attack your warships for no reason? Although the Caribbean Alliance maintains economic sanctions against the United States, it is only for the sake of greater democracy and freedom for the United States, not any hatred for the United States, and now the truth is revealed. But this conspirator is indeed hateful, and although it is not known what his purpose is, it is clear that he wants to provoke the war between the United States and Germany, and this kind of unscrupulous behavior for his own selfish interests, even at the cost of throwing millions of people into hell, is simply outrageous, and must be severely punished. Emperor Yang of Beijing said indignantly.

He didn't expect that there was still a torpedo on the submarine, this is ironclad evidence, if there is no torpedo, maybe this matter can be entangled again, but with this torpedo, the suspicion of the Germans will be completely cleared, but it is not surprising to think about it, the hit rate of torpedoes is generally very poor, and you will not be relieved if you do not prepare a spare one.

"Thank you for your help, without the sonar of the Chinese Navy, we would not have been able to find the murderer no matter what." Conger hurriedly said that this time he was really grateful to this guy, after all, the Americans at this time did not want to be involved in the war if they were calm enough. were frightened by the bloodshed of the European battlefield, no one dared to imagine that the war was so cruel now, in just half a year, millions of casualties on both sides, no matter which battlefield is a standard meat grinder, the American Civil War has been fought for so many years, and all the casualties on the battlefield add up to a battle in Europe, no one will like such a war except those crazy people.

"It's just a gesture, China and the United States are also friendly neighbors, of course I don't want to see you involved in the war, alas, the lives are ruined, the war is endless, all brothers in the four seas, but there are swords and soldiers everywhere!" Yang Feng pretended to learn Meiji.

Of course, Conger was not interested in taking care of this guy's performance, in addition to thanking Yang Feng for China's help this time, he also wanted to probe Yang Feng's tone and see when his trade sanctions were ready. Speaking of which, Brian certainly understands that the United States has been experiencing a heart-wrenching situation during this time, and in the final analysis, it is forced by this guy that those capitalists have reached a dead end. It is true that he cracked down on the monopoly consortium, but he hit the monopoly consortium too hard, directly killing the US economic recession, and the unemployed workers on the streets are also not good.

"Your Majesty, can the question of Alabama be resolved through negotiation? The U.S. government is willing to sit down with the Alabama independents and negotiate under the auspices of the Caribbean Alliance to see if it can find a mutually acceptable solution, and that's what you've been advocating. Conger said tentatively.

"Ah, of course I would welcome this question personally, but I can't speak for the Confederate government and the government of the Republic of Alabama in exile, but I can put you in touch, and if they do, I look forward to you sitting down and talking about it." Yang Feng said with a smile. Talk, talk slowly, talk well, talk about it for a year or two, anyway, the Republic of Alabama is now raised by him, and it's not a word to let them do anything, let them bite to death and must be independent, if the US government agrees, then Georgia, which has also been ready to move for a long time, will definitely ask for independence, and it's a big deal to play again.

He's good at it. (To be continued......)
