As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, a golden yellow, sparkling, and the scenery is quite chic. However, the wreckage of the burning warship floating on the sea, as well as the Chinese and American soldiers waiting for rescue in the sea, have completely destroyed this beautiful scenery. The wreckage of the battleship and the corpses floating on the surface of the sea all tell how fierce the naval battle was just now.

The second naval battle in the Pacific between the Chinese and American navies once again ended in the victory of the Chinese navy. It's just that this time the victory is no longer as easy as the last time. The U.S. Navy is getting stronger and stronger, and the Chinese Navy will have to pay a greater price if it wants to defeat the U.S. Navy.

"His Majesty is not wrong at all, the United States is indeed our great enemy. The strong industrial strength of the United States will inevitably make them have strong military strength. Once they are allowed to develop, it will not be so easy for the empire to dominate the Pacific. The next time China and the United States go to war again, will we still be able to win? Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, asked himself secretly. On his head, a thick layer of gauze was wrapped. He was also wounded in the previous battle.

"Commander, the results of the battle have been counted!" Vice Admiral Gao Yihai, Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, walked over with a piece of paper. Although it was only a thin piece of paper, the door recorded the results of this fierce naval battle.

"Hmm!" General Li Dingxin took over the statistics of the battle results and looked at them carefully. I saw that the door-to-door record: In this battle, the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy won a complete victory. A total of one American battleship was captured, the battleship 'Alabama'. Two armored cruisers. They were the armored cruiser USS West Virginia and the armored cruiser USS South Dakota. Sink 5 American battleships. They were the battleship 'Illinois', the battleship 'Wisconsin', the battleship 'Chishach', the battleship 'Kentucky' and the battleship 'Massachusetts'. Five American armored cruisers were sunk, namely the armored cruiser "New York", the armored cruiser "Brooklyn", the armored cruiser "Pennsylvania", and the armored cruiser "California". The armored cruiser 'Maryland'. Another 13 US Navy light cruisers were sunk, two were captured and six escaped. Eighteen U.S. Navy destroyers were sunk, 7 were captured, and 10 escaped. The main force of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet has been largely wiped out.

Below, the losses of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy are recorded. In this battle, the battleship "Xikang" of the Chinese Navy sank, the battleship "Plateau" sank, and the battleship "Sichuan" suffered heavy losses. The battleships "Qinghai" and "Hawaii" were slightly damaged. The heavy cruiser 'Xi'an' was sunk, and the heavy cruisers 'Lanzhou' and 'Lhasa' suffered heavy losses. The heavy cruiser "Kangding" and the heavy cruiser "Chongqing" were slightly damaged. The light cruisers 'Neijiang', 'Yibin' and 'Guangyuan' were sunk, the 'Zunyi' and 'Zigong' light cruisers were severely damaged, and most of the remaining light cruisers were also wounded. In terms of destroyers, 7 were sunk, 5 were heavily damaged, and 8 remained. In terms of personnel, the Chinese Navy suffered 1,053 casualties, 121 serious injuries and 556 minor injuries. In this battle, the strength of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy was also almost half lost, and the battleships that were heavily damaged had to be repaired on the mainland, and the shipyard at Pearl Harbor could only repair these lightly damaged warships. In the following time, the Pacific Fleet will be able to use less than half of its combat power. It can really be described as 'killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred'. However, the West Coast Fleet of the US Navy has been basically wiped out, and the door of the West Coast of the United States has been opened to China. China can take the next step.

"Chief of Staff, although we won this battle, we also suffered heavy losses! This is a huge lesson for us. In the past two years, the US Navy has grown very rapidly. The Americans, with their strong industrial strength, will soon be able to develop again. Therefore, in this war, we must defeat the United States and further delay their development! Admiral Li Dingxin said solemnly. The U.S. Navy now has eight more advanced battleships under construction, which are said to be ready for service in the second half of next year. Fortunately, the war broke out this year, and if it dragged on until next year, the Pacific Fleet would be dead.

"Hmmm! This time the base camp will not let go of the United States. The Army is ready, ready to land in the United States. This time, it will definitely cost the United States a huge amount! Vice Admiral Gao Yihai also said. China and the United States, after two major wars, have become mortal enemies, and there is no possibility of relief. With the powerful industrial strength of the United States, it will certainly pose a huge threat to China. Therefore, in this war, it is very necessary for China to weaken the strength of the United States as much as possible.

"Report the battle report to His Majesty and the base camp, I believe they are already in a hurry!" Admiral Li Dingxin said with a smile.

"Okay!" Lieutenant General Gao Yihai's face also showed a hint of a smile. Despite the heavy losses, in general, the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy won the war. The main force of the US Navy has been completely wiped out, and the Pacific Fleet has successfully completed the combat mission assigned by the base camp.

Beijing, Xinhua Palace, in Wang Yuze's study. At this time, it was ten o'clock in the morning of June 16. Although he only slept for three or four hours last night, Wang Yuze was still in good spirits. It's just that his mood is not calm, and almost every moment, he will look at the wall clock on the wall, and guess whether the naval battle in the eastern Pacific is over. Or look outside the door to see if there is the latest telegram coming in.

Suddenly, Major General Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, walked in with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, Daxi, the Pacific Fleet has defeated the U.S. Navy!" Admiral Wu Hao handed the telegram to Wang Yuze with a happy face.

"Haha! That's great! I knew that victory must be ours! Wang Yuze laughed. The Pacific Fleet defeated the U.S. Navy, once again demonstrating the strength of the Chinese Navy. Moreover, this can be regarded as a good deterrent to other countries once again. The war between the home fleet of the Chinese Navy and the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia was about to break out. The defeat of the main force of the US Navy by the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy at this time is also a good sign!

Wang Yuze took the telegram and read it, but slowly, his face became more and more stern. The victory of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy is something to rejoice. However, he did not expect that the loss would be so large. Two battleships were sunk in the battle, one was heavily damaged, and the rest were also slightly injured, although they were all old-fashioned battleships, but it also made Wang Yuze very distressed. One heavy cruiser was also sunk, two others were heavily damaged, and all under them were basically wounded. Light cruisers and destroyers, even more heavy losses. Such a loss made Wang Yuze feel the difficulty of this naval battle. It can be said that the Pacific Fleet paid a very huge price in order to achieve this victory.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and I saw Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, Zhang Cheng, minister of the navy, and Jiang Xingguo, minister of national defense, coming together. The faces of the three were beaming with joy, and it was clear that they all knew the outcome of the naval battle.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" The three of them said loudly together.

"Rejoice! Rejoice! It's just that although we won, we have lost a lot! The Pacific Fleet lost thousands of people and almost half of its ships! Wang Yuze couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, where there is war, there will be death, this is inevitable. Although the losses of the Pacific Fleet were large, they achieved even greater results. The main forces of the US Navy have been completely wiped out by us. We can draw up the next battle plan against the United States! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said.

"Hmmm! The next step is to send troops from Hawaii and land in the United States. Now that the main forces of the US Navy have been annihilated by us, they can no longer stop us from landing! Wang Yuze said. The U.S. Navy was destroyed, and the U.S. Army was even more rubbish. Now is the right time for China to deal with the United States. However, next, a battle between the home fleet and the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia will soon break out. All the energy has to be put into this.

"Your Majesty, the Pacific Fleet has returned to Hawaii to rest. It is expected that after half a month, all lightly damaged battleships will regain their combat effectiveness. At the same time, our ships will arrive in Hawaii. When the time comes, you can launch a landing operation against the United States! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng also said. It is foreseeable that the Americans will definitely fight to the death. When landing, the support of the Navy is indispensable. Therefore, the landing operation against the United States must wait until the warships of the Pacific Fleet are repaired. The home fleet was about to fight a decisive battle with the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia, and there was simply no extra warships. After that, it was necessary to launch a landing operation against Japan, and the number of troops was also very scarce.

"When will the battle between the home fleet and the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia begin?" Wang Yuze asked. This naval battle is the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, the combined fleet of the British, French, and Russian forces has passed through the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, entered the Andaman Sea, and will enter the Strait of Malacca tomorrow. In this case, the battle between the home fleet and the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia is expected to break out in a week! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.

"Is the home fleet ready? This decisive battle must be won! Wang Yuze said sternly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the home fleet is ready for battle. We will win this battle! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng assured! (To be continued.) )
