In the sweltering Caribbean Sea, a cluster of small islands spread out on the blue islands like blue pearls, and the birds seem to be unable to stand the burning, lazily folding their wings and hiding in the shade of the trees. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

Suddenly, a large group of dolphins chased each other and jumped out of the water, and next to them three small destroyers slowly sailed in zigzags, and the sailors on the mast held binoculars and kept scanning the surroundings, and when the destroyers disappeared behind the island, the billowing plumes of smoke had already swept into the white clouds from behind.

Seventy nautical miles south of the U.S. Bō Rico, a large multinational fleet rode the wind and waves in a three-column marching formation, and on the mast were not only the familiar blood cloud dragon claw flags, but also the naval flags of Japan, Korea, Colombia, Peru, etc., and even a cruiser was sent from distant Siam.

However, what is surprising is that the flagship flag this time was not hung on the two Beijing-class battleships in the fleet, but on the top of the modified triangular mast of the Nagato Navy of Japan.

The striking thing in the formation is the two Spanish-class battleships captured by China, "It's just that the Cuban government has not yet announced that it has officially joined the alliance, so the two ships can only fly the Chinese Navy flag for the time being."

Of course, what goes unnoticed is "............ Seahawk!

Sailing in the middle of a large number of steel behemoths, the Sea Eagle was like a chicken under the talons of an eagle, which made the German sailors on the deck a little frustrated, if it weren't for the installation of two steam engines during the modification, it is estimated that they would not even be able to catch up with others, so everyone did not understand why the major insisted on joining the formation and was seen as a joke.

"Less regrets."

Yahn couldn't help it, and after holding it for more than ten days, he finally broke the silence and asked, "What do you mean by crazy?" ”

Lukenars was slowly compiling the fake nautical diary that was no longer needed, as if he had forgotten that he no longer needed to be a wrecking ship, and that the luxurious cabin had been vacated, and the captives had long since been carried in Panama.

In fact, he also knew that the Sea Eagle was purely cannon fodder in a battle of this level, so he didn't want to participate in the battle at all, but instead took a large amount of medicine in the fortress, preparing to use the Sea Eagle as a hospital ship, after all, it was an ally who didn't make a little contribution, wouldn't it make people see the German Navy clearly.

After slowly compiling the navigation diary, I originally wanted to count the "medicine" on the ship, but I saw that Yaen's face was dark and about to explode, and he picked up the pen and casually clicked on the nautical chart on the bulkhead and said: "Li Mo is crazy, and the Chinese people are crazy, and they want to repeat the scene of Guam crossing the Atlantic Ocean two years ago." 【 I want: super fast update ]"

Jahn froze for a moment, then his heart swerved, and he understood what Lucanal meant by madness.

Seeing that Jahn finally broke through, Luckner was not clumsy, and continued: "The whole world thought that the Chinese would accept Jericho's challenge in the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico, but I think that they will not be willing to fight in this broken place easily if they can't give full play to their technical advantages.

Because the Chinese people are strong in speed and aircraft!

But in the event of a decisive battle in the Caribbean, Jericho could easily take advantage of his numerical superiority and rely on dense islands and reefs to maneuver around them, in which case who could guarantee that a few capital ships would not be missed? Dense islands can provide a good camouflage for warships! So I think they didn't want to fight here in the first place, and it's too far away from the United States, so even if they do, will they have to fight all the way along the East Coast?

So I think this is the place where the decisive battle will be! ”

As Lucknar circled a small black dot with his pen, Jahn jumped up and pointed there and searched, "No, no...... Probably, how did they get there...... Before the old "words were finished, I saw that the former had a few more lines extending along the black dots. When all the lines were drawn, he somewhat understood, but there was still a problem in it: "Major, although the speculation is bold, you have forgotten that the intelligence says that the Taiwan-class battleship of the Chinese is waiting for repairs in Djibouti, and the other one has also returned to Guangzhou to be docked for repairs, and the Chinese have no extra aircraft carriers to support them, and the Cape Verde base has three British battleships and a large number of aircraft, as long as there is a slight delay in Jericho, there is a chance to arrange the defensive line, and moreover...... The old "no redundant aircraft carriers? Lukanal interrupted Jahn and smiled faintly: "Hehe, don't forget that there are five aircraft carriers here, and one or two can be called up to meet them!" ”

"But are they in time? It takes at least ...... to dock for repairs, and so on! As soon as Jahn said this, he suddenly saw a hint of cunning on the corner of Luckner's mouth, and immediately understood: "Major, you mean that's fake?" However, "unless the two ships go out together, I am afraid that they will be blocked out of Cape Verde by Cambe!" ”

Yahn is right, a single battleship on the road, even if there is cruiser protection, is not safe, so generally the capital ship goes to sea at least two companions, so that the enemy can also cover each other, now the Chinese only have the Taiwan class in service, and the third ship is still in the end of outfitting, unless it is the Hebei class that sent the second fleet.

"Believe me, Jahn, if they do come, then it must be Sa!"

"This can't be collected, even if the docking of the Shandong is fake, but the Taiwan can't hide from anyone at the port of Djibouti."

"Really? You forget to regret it. ”

"Boom!"

The fierce sound of cannon interrupted the conversation between Luckner and Jahn, and the two of them rushed to the deck to find that the main fleet in front of them had dispersed, and the rumbling sound of cannon exploded in their ears like four drums, and in an instant the sea was like a black veil on the door, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was choking everywhere.

"Be prepared to save people." Luknar simply forgot what he had just said, and concentrated on being an ambulance, and the remaining fleet of three cruisers and several destroyers could not stop the indiscriminate bombardment of so many capital ships, and only lasted for only ten minutes before retreating.

Moments later, dozens of Hornet fighters swept over the fleet and rushed towards the American colony of Bō Rico.

Without the threat of aircraft, the multinational fleet began to change formation, with ten battleships lined up in sequence, and shells rained like hail on Ponce Harbor, the second largest city in Bō Dorico. On June 23, the battle for the Caribbean Sea that attracted the world's attention finally began, and a multinational fleet of 10 capital battleships, 8 cruisers, and 16 destroyers under the command of Vice Admiral Hitomi Yamaki carried out indiscriminate bombardment of Ponce and San Juan for two days. On June 25, 350,000 Allied Army forces with the Japanese Army as the core landed on the island of Bō Dorico under the cover of aircraft and warships, kicking off the battle for Bō Dorico.

Port Kiel, rejuvenated.

The German Ocean Fleet, which had been silent in the harbor after Jutland, was once again assembled, and the battleships of the maintenance one shimmered with an icy metallic sheen in the sunlight, waiting for the horn to sound for another expedition.

When the Chinese Navy slaughtered all sides and brought back countless gold and land to Li Mo, and Scheer was a little conservative, the stubborn Wilhelm II finally couldn't sit down, and had to restart the use of Tirpitz, hoping that it could break the dullness of the navy as soon as possible and bring back more benefits for him.

The German Navy raised its hands in favor of this, and even Schell understood that he was really inferior to the other side in some respects, but Wilhelm II also took into account the experience of the Grand Fleet that Schell had accumulated in Jutland, and did not remove him from his post as commander-in-chief of the fleet.

Tirpitz's return to the German Admiralty was undoubtedly a shock to Europe, and even Britain had to face up to Tirpitz as a resurgence in the face of successive losses of excellent admirals.

For the first time since Jutland, the flagship Bavaria was hoisted with a full flag, and the soldiers all dressed in fresh white suits waited quietly for his arrival.

Three small jeeps slowly stopped next to the flagship. The door opened, his hair was gray, and the bearded Tirpitz returned to the cradle of the German Navy for the first time, and to outsiders, the old man was obviously a little blessed after being dismissed, but when he walked up the gangway and squinted at the flag above his head, everyone could still feel the strength contained in the body of this old marshal, who is known as the father of the German Navy.

Obviously, this old lion is not yet time to be bullied!

No sooner had he returned to the Admiralty, Tirpitz chose to hold the first meeting on the flagship of the fleet, not in order to be ingenious, but to tell everyone that the German Navy was more than just "existing"!

The sound of crisp leather boots sounded from the hallway, and the admirals in the conference room, including Scheer, Hipper, and Spee, who had just returned from Austria-Hungary, stood up en masse, silently waiting for the hatch to open. The hatch was finally pulled open from the outside, and Tirpitz appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by the guards.

He didn't speak, just waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down, his eyes began to sweep, and he seriously looked at these outstanding generals he had brought up.

The Caribbean has begun!

Although the two sides have not yet fought a decisive battle, it is already destined that the upcoming July will be a hot month since the start of the war.

He felt very fortunate that the German Navy was not yet depressed, and there were still days like Luckner's! Had it not been for the fact that he had represented Germany alone in the Caribbean League's multinational fleet, and if it had not been for the classified telegrams and speculations he had sent back, perhaps the German Navy would have waited any longer.

Tirpitz slowly raised his hand, and under the gaze of all eyes, he suddenly turned and slammed it on the chart behind him, and his fingers slowly crossed the island of Helgoland, which Germany had taken from Britain for the first time, and stopped on the North Sea.

"Ready, we're going to go again!" @。
