The U.S. Navy was gloomy because some battleships were sunk and some battleships were heavily damaged. The Chinese Navy, on the other hand, is full of morale. Everyone seems to have seen that victory is coming.

"Haha, well done! Let everyone make persistent efforts and teach these Yankees a hard lesson! "In the bridge of the battleship 'Sichuan', Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, said excitedly. Although, before the start of the naval battle, he was very confident and confident that he would be able to achieve victory in the naval battle. However, when the fighting broke out, there were some worries. And now, the shape of the entire naval battle has been basically laid. The Chinese Navy has already achieved a huge advantage. Defeating the U.S. Navy will be a sure thing.

The battle has been going on since the morning, and everyone can't even eat a bite of food, they are tired and hungry, but everyone is gritting their teeth and struggling to support, just to be able to win and be strong.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "On the sea, shells are constantly moving in the sky. No one knows if it will be hit in the next moment. Because of their disadvantage, Americans have been praying for God's blessing. But God seems to have forgotten here, forgotten them as Americans.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt has called to inquire about the current situation of the war!" Vice Admiral Benson, deputy commander of the US West Coast Fleet, said with a telegram in hand. Obviously, the U.S. government has been watching the whole situation, and the battle has been going on for several hours, and they can't wait.

"Call back, the war situation is not favorable now. But we're fighting to the death. For America! Admiral Mahan said in a loud voice.

"For America!" Other U.S. officials in the bridge also shouted. Subsequently. Tong guò telegraph. The same cry rang out from other warships. The United States has only been a nation for more than 100 years. But in just over a hundred years. They have developed from a British colony to the most powerful industrial country in the world, and their development potential is very strong, which is enough to make them proud of Americans. It's just that since the Civil War, Americans have been obsessed with economic development, but they are not very concerned about the military. Because there are two moats, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The United States thinks it is very safe. But now, after China has occupied Hawaii, it has become a painful threat to the United States. This has caused the United States to shift its main focus from developing its economy to developing its military strength. A large number of Americans have only begun to pay attention to the future of the United States.

In the midst of the chanting, the blood in the hearts of the US Navy soldiers seemed to burn again. They seem to have felt the spirit of their ancestors who rebelled against the powerful British more than a hundred years ago to pursue the country. Suddenly, the morale of the US Navy, which had been low, once again became high. Even if they are at a disadvantage right now. But they're also fighting hard.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two shells, exploded less than a hundred meters from the battleship 'Sichuan'. A column of water rising from the sea. Wet all the decks of the battleship. If the Americans had had a little luck, the battleship "Sichuan" of the Grand Duke would have been hit.

"How did these Americans do it? Got stimulant? Why are they all different from before! Vice Admiral Gao Yihai, chief of staff of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet, asked with some puzzlement. Originally, because of morale, the rate of fire of the US Navy had dropped to nearly three rounds per minute, but suddenly, the speed had recovered to two rounds per minute, and the accuracy of the shelling was much higher, which was really incredible.

"It seems that the Americans are ready to fight to the death. Caught in a desperate situation, they burst out with powerful combat effectiveness. Hmph, that's just a flashback! Soon, they'll find out they're using the mantis arm as a car! Order all ships to show all their strength and let the Americans know how powerful we are! Admiral Li Dingxin said coldly.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the battleship 'Sichuan' shook violently, and the people in the bridge suddenly stood unsteadily and fell to the ground, and Admiral Li Dingxin's forehead hit the edge of the table, and a wound appeared, and blood flowed for a while.

"What's going on?" Admiral Li Dingxin got up, ignored the wound on his forehead, and hurriedly asked.

"Commander, the battleship has been hit, and the damage management personnel are investigating the situation!" Commodore Zhao Hongcai, commander of the battleship 'Sichuan', replied.

Soon, the medical staff bandaged the wounds of Admiral Li Dingxin, and by this time, the damage to the battleship 'Sichuan' was already known. The aft deck of the battleship was hit, the rear main guns were destroyed, and the sailors on the aft deck, suffered heavy losses.

"Keep firing!" Admiral Li Dingxin had a gloomy face and ordered. He had just said that the U.S. Navy was just returning to the past, but immediately the battleship 'Sichuan' was hit, which made him feel like he had been slapped in the face.

The rear main guns of the battleship 'Sichuan' were destroyed, so that the 'Sichuan' lost a third of its firepower. Fortunately, however, no fatal injuries were sustained. The two main guns on the foredeck were also able to continue firing.

However, the hit of the battleship 'Sichuan' seemed to be just the beginning. Next, the U.S. Navy hit the target one after another, as if it were a divine help. It was as if in an instant, the goddess of victory favored them.

At 2:10 p.m., during a salvo of the Wisconsin, one of the shots hit the No. 1 main gun on the foredeck of the battleship Sicom, and the shell pierced the armor of the turret and exploded inside the turret. And, what is even more serious is that at this moment, there are still two shells in the barrel that have not been fired. This caused the shells inside the chamber to fire a detonation. The violent explosion destroyed both main guns on the foredeck of the battleship 'Xikang'. This is not fatal, the fatal thing is that when the main gun is destroyed, almost the entire bow of the ship is blown up. After the turbulent sea water poured into the battleship from the bow of the ship, there was no way for the damage management personnel to stop it.

Two minutes later, the captain of the battleship 'Xikang' gave the order to abandon the ship. However, because the battleship 'Xikang' sank too quickly, only half of the more than 500 sailors on the battleship fled. Nearly 300 people, including the captain, sank into the sea with the battleship. The battleship Xikang also became the first battleship sunk by the Chinese Navy.

“***！ How is this going on? How could those Americans hit so accurately all at once? "General Li Dingxin's eyes were about to erupt with fire. The battleship Xikang, a formidable battleship with six main guns, was comparable to only the Sichuan in the Pacific Fleet. The sinking of the battleship "Xikang" immediately put the capital ships of the Pacific Fleet in a difficult situation. Of the remaining four battleships, the battleship 'Sichuan' also lost its rear main guns, and only 16 main guns remained. And the US Navy, with the remaining 5 battleships, in turn, has the advantage. Such a change caught the Chinese Navy off guard in the Pacific. Originally, they already had the absolute upper hand, and they were about to achieve the final victory. But now, the Americans are not looking back, and there seems to be a trend of salted fish turning over!

"Well done! God bless America! Keep up the good work, boys! Send all the Chinese to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish! Admiral Mahan burst out laughing, as happy as a child, with an old face, smiling as if he were a chrysanthemum.

The morale of the US Navy is also greatly boosted. The body, which seemed to be tired and had no strength, was suddenly full of strength again!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The battle between the two sides seems to be more intense. The Chinese Navy wants to defeat the U.S. Navy in its best efforts to ensure that it can win. The U.S. Navy wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to defeat the Chinese Navy in one fell swoop and complete the reversal!

Admiral Mahan and others did not know at this time that the White House at this time had become a mess because of a telegram they had sent before.

Originally, US President William? McKinley and others, after waiting for a long time without receiving a war report, took the initiative to ask Secretary of the Navy Theodore? Roosevelt sent a telegram asking about the situation of the war. However, the results they got shocked them.

"Gentlemen, the situation is very bad! Our fleet is at a disadvantage, Admiral Mahan said that they will fight to the death for the United States! "Secretary of the Navy Theodore? Roosevelt's face was full of unwillingness.

The atmosphere in the office was suddenly heavy and unacceptable. Originally, they still had some expectations for this naval battle. But now it seems that the U.S. Navy is still unable to achieve victory for them, and they will once again taste the bitter fruits of defeat.

"Gentlemen, the lads of the Navy have done their best. It's not that we don't work hard, it's that the enemy is too strong! However, gentlemen, failure this time does not mean that you will fail in the future. Russell? Mr. Alger, order the army to defend the west coast! If the combined fleet of Anglo-French-Russian is no match for the Chinese, then let's find a way to make peace with the Chinese! In any case, the Chinese cannot be allowed to land on the American mainland. That would be a great disaster for the United States and the American people! "William? President McKinley said with a stern face.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Secretary of War Russell? Alger said.

"Garrett? Hobart, next, it's up to you! I'm sorry to put you on such a heavy responsibility! "William? President McKinley looked at Vice President Garrett? Hobart said. If the U.S. Navy is defeated, he will not be able to stay in the White House. After his resignation, Vice President Garrett? Hobart will take over a qiē full force.
