On the surface of the Caribbean Sea, night has gradually fallen, and a fleet of dozens of ships of all kinds is plowing white waves on the sea. This fleet includes battleships with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons, armored cruisers with a displacement of 10,000 tons, and all kinds of second- and third-class protective cruisers, as well as many destroyers, and of course, less conspicuous aircraft carriers and various transport ships towed by destroyers......

These dozens of warships, with battleships and armored cruisers as the core, formed four large columns, arranged in a mighty manner on the sea, billowing smoke almost obscured the sky, such a spectacular scene, so that the fleet commander William. Lieutenant General Baga was thrilled. He had at his disposal three Victory-class battleships, three Indomitable class battleships, six brand-new Crecy-class armored cruisers, as many as 43 second-class cruisers, destroyers, transports, airship carriers, and a full 24 aircraft carriers!

And such a strong force is only half of the powerful maritime forces possessed by the British and American sides in the upcoming Second Atlantic Naval War. In the Delaware Bay, 1,000 nautical miles to the north, an equally formidable naval fleet lurks in it.

Combined, the two fleets have more than 100 combat ships of all kinds, including 12 battleships and 10 armored cruisers! If such a naval strength is moved to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, it may not be enough to face the Daming Pacific Fleet, the Daming Western Fleet, and the Daming South Ocean Fleet...... But in the Atlantic, it's absolutely sideways.

Mexico and Colombia have a total of 4 "anti-American packages", that is, 4 heroes and 4 heroes. Moreover, the Republic of Colombia, which has lost its bolivarian status, has no ambitions, and it will not be easy to survive without disintegration. So the country declared its outside neutrality early on, and their 2 "anti-American packages" don't have to be considered at all.

And the remaining Royal Mexican Navy plus the strength of the so-called German-Japanese Overseas Maritime Self-Defense Force, it may be possible to fight a US Navy, but Britain and the United States join forces...... Hehe, that's an overwhelming advantage, how can you not win?

Thinking of this, William. Bagadus began to look forward to the early arrival of the decisive battle, and he had to let the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow Peril, understand the strength of the British Empire!

However, the battleship Royal Oak (Victory-class) was William. Vice Admiral Baga would never have thought at this time that the whereabouts of his own Grand Fleet had been mastered by the Admiral of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Navy!

And what's even more troublesome is that Zhuge Weidao also regarded his fleet as the main force of the US Atlantic Fleet, and decided to have a decisive battle to annihilate the enemy!

And the reason why this happened was because William. Baga's fleet has always been flying the Stars and Stripes of the Americans—although the British Empire has fought several major battles with the Ming Dynasty, it has never been able to make up its mind to declare war.

Therefore, the British Royal Navy has been fighting with the Ming Navy under the banner of the Royal Navy of India in the Indian Ocean. In the Atlantic, the flag of the U.S. Navy was hoisted to make enemies of the Ming Navy and the Royal Mexican Navy, which also flaunted the flag of the Texas Sea...... It can be said that it is extremely cautious.

At the same time, the British Empire also used its influence in Cuba to establish a presence in the Willem Empire. When Baga's fleet crossed the Winds Channel for the second time, an erroneous weather forecast was issued, grounding all Spanish Navy airships stationed in Cuba and returning all ships to harbor for shelter.

So William. Vice Admiral Baga's fleet should have been impossible for the opponent to detect having passed through the wind-directed strait...... But he never imagined that just before his fleet crossed the Wind Direction Strait, a Type B ocean-going submarine guarding the north side of the Wind Direction Strait was half-submerging and half-floating in the sea, and saw billowing smoke in the distance. Therefore, a telegram was immediately sent to the Texas Maritime Command in Texas City, reporting the military situation that "the US Atlantic Fleet is about to pass through the Wind Direction Strait."

Then, the Type B ocean-going submarine dived into the water and watched through the periscope as the "main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet" passed through the strait. After the main force of the "main force of the US Atlantic Fleet" had gone away, he floated up again and set up a telegram to report to Texas City again, informing him of the situation of the "main force of the US Atlantic Fleet" that he had discovered.

......

Texas City, Texas Public Palace.

"Colonel, telegram B 09." A Ming naval captain in charge of the Changbo Radio Station in Texas City handed the telegram to Guo Xiaobao, who looked at it twice, his eyes flashed, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the room.

In the discussion room, Zhuge Weidao was holding a baton, pointing to the map, and explaining his latest battle plan to Emperor Agustin - now the Mexican-Texas Combined Fleet is practicing radio silence, that is, it can only receive reports, not send reports. In this case, the combined Mexican-Texas fleet has no command at the campaign level until the silence is lifted, and can only be based on the Texas headquarters...... In fact, it is the instruction of Zhuge Weidao himself.

"The Combined Fleet can use the darkness of night as a cover, turn the whole fleet to the south, and then move at full speed.

The Combined Fleet had to be as close as possible to the main force of the American Atlantic Fleet, and at the same time send a formation of fast cruisers as a striker to take on the search mission...... If, before dawn, the fast cruiser formation fails to find the target, then reconnaissance aircraft are sent to search for it.

And once the target is discovered, all carrier-based aircraft will be sent in waves to intensively bomb the enemy's fleet. There are a total of 240 carrier-based on our 6 aircraft-carrying frigates, and after deducting reconnaissance aircraft, there are 204 left, which can be divided into 2 waves to launch air strikes!

While the air attack is underway, the battleship and armored cruiser formations will launch a full-speed surprise attack, trying to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle after inflicting heavy damage on the enemy fleet in the emptiness......

As soon as he said this, Guo Xiaobao had already walked in and handed over the copy of the telegram he had just received.

Zhuge Weidao hurriedly took the copy of the telegram and looked at it, and immediately showed a victor's smile, and said to Emperor Agustin: "Your Majesty the Emperor, six battleships have been determined, which should be the Victory class, that is, the type of battleship that the Americans call the United States class. Four armored cruisers of unknown type. There are more than 40 warships of various types...... And all warships fly the Star-Spangled Banner.

There is no doubt that this is the main force of the US Atlantic Fleet!"

Emperor Agustin was a little nervous and said, "Zhuge Military Division, they have six battleships and four armored cruisers!" We only have two Heroes and two Heroes...... Can you really win?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor rest assured," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile full of confidence, "We will definitely win...... Because we have six aircraft-carrying frigates and 240 carrier-based aircraft, and the enemy does not even have a single ship that can carry aircraft!

So...... The advantage of this battle is mine, the initiative is mine, and our army will win!

After the victory, the United States will be terrified, and then it will be an opportunity for the Texas Army and the Mexican Army to launch a major offensive in Texas!"

Emperor Agustin nodded slightly, "That couldn't be better...... We in Mexico can't sustain a protracted war, and I hope we can do it quickly!"
