For a week after Cuba declared independence, there was no movement on the side of the United States. This made everyone wonder.

It is said that the United States will either fight Cuba or fight a decisive battle with the Japanese fleet, so why is it quiet?

It turned out that it was not that Roosevelt did not want to do it, but that Connatas sent a telegram to the United States to negotiate the matter of the prisoners. The total number of prisoners was more than 116,000, including eighty percent of the senior commanders, including General Marshall.

This gave Roosevelt a headache. The expansion of hundreds of thousands of elite veterans is really something he can't give up. Once the other party turns his face, the loss of these people is huge.

Thus, negotiations inevitably came.

Negotiation is nothing more than bargaining. The independence army wants a huge number of things, equipment, minerals, food, rubber and other urgently needed materials, but it does not want arms.

This made Roosevelt hate the roots of his teeth and at the same time breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the lions of the Cuban Independence Army would open their mouths and ask for guns. It is not enough to give it like that, and if you don't give it, you can't let the negotiations break down, after all, hundreds of thousands of elite veterans can't just be thrown in Cuba. The most important thing is the officer above the major on the list, which is the core elite of the US Army, and cannot afford to lose.

But the other party obviously can't give all the materials they want so happily, and even if they do, they can't give so much. So, the negotiations went on in a red-faced quarrel.

In the process of negotiations, the United States began to transfer troops to Florida, and the warships in Panama also began to return to the Caribbean Sea, blocking all the important ports of Santiago, Manzanillo and Havana, 30 kilometers away from the port, blocking the entry and exit of the port, but did not dare to approach. One is afraid of the other side's coastal defense artillery, and the other is that it cannot provoke the other side, resulting in the breakdown of negotiations.

This marathon negotiation lasted for more than half a month.

In the end, the Independence Army returned half of its soldiers first. But excluding tank troops, pilots, and crews, these technical arms are just simple infantry, and of course, there are no officers.

In exchange for a shipload of oil. grain and rubber, as well as various supplies.

Although the negotiation was blushing and thick-necked in the quarrel, it was still smooth. The key is that batches of people are handed over, and batches of materials enter the port, and it is not possible to negotiate in a short time.

At this time, your fleet is mainly in San Diego, because the prisoners are handed over from here, but the cargo is in Havana.

The cargo is guarded by a frigate and can be loaded from Florida. No one dares to do anything about this. On the contrary, it was those prisoners, in order to avoid accidents, escorts were inevitable.

While all eyes of the United States were focused on Cuba, as they watched the troop carriers laden with prisoners leave port and wait for the formation to return, a fleet of six torpedo destroyers, four anti-submarine destroyers, and six medium ocean-going cruisers was watching. A fleet of two frigates and two large landing ships has emerged from the depths of the sea and headed straight for New York, the center of the United States.

Mengzi sailed for nearly a month. Bypassing Chile, following the ocean current, it quietly went north in the sea two or three hundred kilometers away from the shipping lane. Along the way, the supplies were delivered to the designated place by the shipping companies along the way, and finally the target was reached without danger. Leaving oil supply ships and other supply ships in the deep sea, they rushed to New York with ten modified submarines and five combat submarines that had been lurking here for a long time.

The First Great War of the Fierce Son. I'm still very nervous. He took a deep breath, and in the report that he had arrived at the target, he gave a deep order: "Enter their respective positions, prepare the artillery, and take off the reconnaissance plane!" ”

With his command. One by one, the battleships sailed into Lalita Bay in the darkness, lined up, and the muzzles of their guns began to raise slowly. The water reconnaissance plane had already taken off, roared into the night sky, and flew towards the port inside the brightly lit Hudson estuary.

"Unanimously the left battery of the No. 3 ship! The battery on the right side of ships 4 to 6! Ships seven to twelve blockade the port! Ships 13-16 Liberty Island! Ships seventeen and eighteen escort the landing ship to Amboye, Perth! The action begins!! ”

"Yes!"

A neat tiger roar sounded from the loudspeakers, and then the two large landing ships, protected by two frigates, sailed towards Perth Amboy with black lights.

The moment the four battleships left the fleet, all the guns were ready, and then at the sound of an order, they launched a bombardment of the target that was not aware of the approaching attack of the road.

In the loud roar, clusters of fireballs flickered one after another on the dark sea, and one after another fiery red projectiles roared towards the target.

The United States, which had passed through the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, had been very careful in its defenses. Although most of the warships were on standby in Cuba, there was still a coastal defense.

However, the four patrol ships were fired at a salvo of four torpedoes by a lurking submarine at a distance of more than 40 kilometers from the bay, and they did not even have a chance to generate electricity, and sank directly.

The loud noise, forty kilometers away, was not enough to reach the shore, and even if someone heard it, it was not much louder than the sound of gunfire, it was only a faint sound. And their disappearance for an hour was not enough to attract attention, so the whole of New York was still immersed in a deep sleep.

The screech of the shells was heard by the soldiers on duty. Their shouts were instantly drowned out by a roar.

The Haikou Fort was hit by several shells, and the flames immediately burst into the sky.

The violent explosion of high-explosive shells turned the left and right batteries into a sea of fire in just a few seconds.

The U.S. troops were awakened by the violent explosion and fled in all directions. They didn't know what was going on in the road, there had been no war in the country for a long time, they had forgotten the ferocity of war, and the sudden attack left them at a loss in the violent shock wave.

The violent explosion here has awakened New York, and the generals are awakened in their sleep, their hearts beating wildly, and they don't know what happened in the road.

In just a few seconds, the port of Liberty Island, a little farther away, was heavily shelled.

On Liberty Island, cannonballs fell in rows, and in a short moment, it became a living hell. The inhabitants of the island were awakened by the explosion, and they were horrified to see the images of destruction.

In the flames of the explosion, the Statue of Liberty, which is more than 40 meters high, was nearly 100 meters high on the cement base, and it was the target of the shelling.

The shells fell around the statue, on the statue, on the base. The loud bang tore the statue apart, and in the firelight, the tall figure collapsed. Shattered pieces flew everywhere, and in a matter of seconds, the symbol of the American was gone.

My God......

The sense of security in everyone's hearts suddenly collapsed when they saw this scene, this was no longer a pure land, and war had come.

Three cruisers blew off the American sign with a single salvo. The shelling of the coordinates, which already had the coordinates for a long time, was naturally accurate, coupled with radar positioning. It can be said that the error of the shell is only within 50 meters.

Having been reported that the target had disappeared, three cruisers deflected their guns and joined the bombardment of the port.

Inside the port, six inshore patrol ships, twelve frigates, eight old warships, as well as supply ships, minelayers, minesweepers. Destroyers and other battleships were hit by armor-piercing shells in their sleep, and the fire lit up the entire harbor with a loud bang.

Flames quickly rose from oil tanker after tanker, and the entire port was engulfed in fire in less than five minutes.

The heavy shelling made all the Americans wake up after a few minutes, and they knew that this was not a drill, this was an enemy attack. The troops rushed to their respective positions in a panic, and the fighters taxied towards the runway one after another on the tarmac. Prepare for air support.

At this moment, the unexpected broke out again. The moment when the harbor was on fire. The taxiing planes exploded with a sudden explosion, and the wreckage was wrapped in flames and tumbled with spilled debris.

The planes that had been registered to taxi for take-off also exploded at this moment, and the loud roar continued to be heard.

The shock wave crashed one after another, and the flames rose several meters high, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.

The soldiers at the airport were stunned by the sudden change and howled to avoid the spraying flames. Dodge debris flying everywhere.

They subconsciously thought that the airport had been shelled and fled for their lives, and no one cared about the already continuous sea of fire.

The shelling continued, hundreds of shells per minute fell in the port. There are high-explosive shells, as well as armor-piercing shells. The bombed battleships burned so violently that they didn't even have a chance to set sail.

Inside the airport, the runway and the tarmac had just exploded, and several hangars erupted into flames, and mushroom clouds of fire rose into the air, turning the whole of New York into daylight.

The hangar explosion had just ended, and the fire was still rising, when a loud bang came from the battery.

Rumble!

The cement wall of the ammunition depot was pierced by armor-piercing shells, and the shells exploded violently inside. The pressure of the explosion instantly ignited the cannonball inside, and with a loud bang, the entire West Fort was blown away by the explosion.

The earth shook violently, and then the shock wave raged away, the buildings shook, the glass shattered, and the scene of the end of the world was apocalyptic.

The West Fort had just exploded here, and then the East Fort had also exploded. The same armor-piercing shell penetrated the concrete bunker and detonated the shell inside the ammunition depot, resulting in a martyrdom.

The earthquake plunged New York into darkness and shattered all the light bulbs. However, the location close to the port and the location of the airport were as bright as daylight, especially in the port, where the large explosion of the warship broke out more than ten minutes later, completely disrupting the port. Those oil tankers, full of oil were leaked by shells, and the flames were spreading on the surface of the sea.

The reconnaissance plane stared at the harbor in the firelight, indicating the specific location of the battleship, and several battleships fired a salvo against a battleship that did not move, not to mention that there were no battleships, and even if there were, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of dense shells, and even if the armor-piercing shells were not enough to penetrate the dome armor, they would tear apart the external armor in the continuous bombardment, causing a fire.

Mengzi didn't pay attention to the port here, his attention was all focused on the two landing ships. That was the crux of the mission, the focus of his coming to the United States.

"Artillery fire extended! Bombardment of the city!! ”

He was no longer so nervous, and calmly ordered to do the most difficult cleaning task for the landing ship.

The landing ship, after ten minutes, had already arrived in Amboy, Perth, and began to fill with water, spit out the landing craft inside, as well as a new type of waterway dual-purpose armored vehicle, infantry vehicle.

One by one, the armored vehicles and infantry vehicles rushed to the coast quickly, and at the same time that the landing craft put down the two armored vehicles or infantry vehicles carried inside, they landed on the coast, assembled slightly, and rushed along the road to the city

At this time, the shells had already landed in the New York City area, and at the same time as all kinds of electronic phones were flying indiscriminately, they hit one building after another, gunpowder smoke and dust rose all over the sky, and fragments of masonry and stone flew everywhere, and in the screams and cries of horror, the prelude to the destruction of the largest city in the United States began.

At this time, on Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street in New York, the glass of the Museum of Natural History was shattered and the lights were completely gone. But inside, there is a large group of figures who are nervously busy. They had been busy for three or four hours, and the specimens of the animals and plants had been carefully numbered and boxed, not sparing even the huge animal bones, and the documents, and packed into oak boxes that had been prepared long ago.

They were ten o'clock in the middle of the night. From the tunnels that have been dug underground for a long time, you enter the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History.

These two buildings are very close, and the underground has long been opened, just waiting for the arrival of the action signal.

How can these security guards detect and resist the sneak attack ability of the Huya warriors? In less than ten minutes, the two places where countless priceless treasures were stored were controlled, and before the bombardment came, the packing began.

At the same time, there is also a large group of people busy in the vaults of the New York Stock Exchange. They are not carrying artifacts, nor are they specimens. Again, not a security, but a gold ingot.

This is 80% of the gold reserves of the United States, which are stored here. The concrete walls here are five meters thick, with steel mesh in the middle and a layer of steel plates one centimeter thick. There seems to be no good way to enter but to explode, but once it explodes, there are technicians and equipment here that specialize in listening to vibrations, and Bibao will be discovered.

How could Dong Ku, who was familiar with the cement wall structure of the stock exchange at this time, use explosives to blow up? Personnel had already been arranged to start tunneling a few days earlier. It's still the old way, and the cement is easily solved with nitrogen and fire. The steel bars and plates were cut with gas cuts, but the passages were not used to transport goods out, but only to get inside and bring the boxes in.

There are more than 4,000 tons of gold here, all of which are ten kilograms each. They were packed into boxes that held exactly six pieces for easy handling.

Here except for gold. There are also some valuables, which are within the scope of packing.

Just as the landing force landed on the coast and swooped down the road towards New York, the message of the attack on New York was finally received by Roosevelt.

New York was attacked, much to Roosevelt's surprise. In Washington, an urgent order was given to all the surrounding warships and submarines to rush to New York, and the Cuban battleship group was ordered to set sail to reinforce New York. At the same time, they asked for help from the British Royal Fleet, hoping that they would help contain the attacking team that had eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard.

In addition to the warships, he also ordered the fighters with a combat radius of the surrounding area to reach New York to take off, find the enemy, and reinforce New York. Ground forces were ordered to urgently assemble and reinforce New York to avoid the enemy taking advantage of the chaos to land and inflict incalculable losses on New York.

However, Washington is about 400 kilometers away from New York, and no matter how fast the battleship is, it can only be 60 or 70 kilometers an hour, and at most 80 kilometers, and it will take at least three hours to get there. The troops arrived there even more slowly, at least five or six hours.

This time had already been calculated, and the landing force of the fierce son rushed into New York in ten minutes, and quickly diverted the traffic, heading straight for the museum and the stock exchange.

Along the way, a stream of trucks merged into the rolling torrent of steel, all of which were trucks carrying goods. They were ready for a long time.

These two torrents rushed through the streets, and the anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns on the infantry vehicles and armored vehicles were ready, but they were unexpectedly not intercepted, and along the way, there was no resistance at all, even those soldiers who ran with guns thought that they were their own troops, and there were even those who ran in the dark, not knowing that these were actually killing gods.

After the convoy reached the target, the U.S. troops who followed it were silently cleared in just a few seconds, and then the soldiers jumped out of the infantry vehicles, seized the surrounding buildings and commanding heights to cordon off, and completely blocked the area.

The trucks lined up, and the people inside ran to the moment they carried the boxes one by one, and they were loaded quickly, and the speed was extremely fast.

Loaded trucks, with their lights black, lined up in the streets, and twenty of them were escorted by armored and infantry vehicles to the location of the landing craft.

There, submarines have been docked on a small pier, where large warships cannot be moored, but submarines can still be moored.

It took only ten minutes for the truck to arrive at the dock, quickly reversing, and loading the boxes on the cart into these large converted submarines.

These submarines are all transport boats used to transport compressed biscuits, a submarine can carry 600 tons, but it has no attack capability, not even a torpedo tube, it is to transport cargo.

Dong Ku can't transport these things back by airboat, one is that it's too chaotic here, and the airboat has nowhere to land, and the other is to lead the target to Italy, so he can't use airboats, which Italy doesn't have.

Mengzi's place, when he was busy here, was still bombarded with full loads. They had to consume two-thirds of their shells to reduce the load and increase the speed. At the same time, air defense was prepared, and enemy aircraft could arrive in an hour.

In the darkness, the cannon roared, and Nagashima was sad, but some of the brave American soldiers overcame their fears and used small steamers and sampans to touch the surface of the sea where the fire was constantly flickering, they could not defeat these warships, but they still had to figure out who they were.

This was the most important task, and until the two museums were emptied, the U.S. military found no anomalies. After all, the cannonballs will fly everywhere, and while it's safe here, it seems normal to transport items away. Moreover, those Che soldiers were also wearing their uniforms and speaking their language, so there was no reason to be paid much attention in this chaotic time.

At the exchange, the delivery of more than 4,000 tons of side goods is not a brisk job, although several cars are loaded at the same time, but it is only two or three cars per minute. The speed is fast enough, but a hundred trucks can't be finished in a half a round, that's 4,000 tons, a car is only 5 tons, and it takes 800 trips to drive away.

And they only have two hours to act, and when the time comes, they must evacuate, otherwise, they will be blocked by the incoming warships, and it will be difficult to leave. (To be continued......)
