The shouts of the commander of the American fleet did not change the outcome of this naval battle in any way. If a few words could change the outcome of the war, then he would not be just a small fleet commander.

The naval battle lasted more than two hours, and Australasian planes even went back and forth several times to resupply them.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet, having lost two battleships, three battlecruisers and more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships, no longer had the courage to resist and announced its surrender to Australasia under the banner.

Looking down on the entire US Pacific Fleet from the sky, although only a dozen warships have sunk, the remaining warships are more or less wounded, and some are even leaking.

And the Australasian Combined Fleet is much better on the side. After all, it has an advantage in numbers, and it also has aircraft to support in the sky, so it has no scruples about fighting.

Only one ex-dreadnought was sunk on the Australasian side, and the remaining warships were only slightly damaged, not yet sunk.

The reason why the difference between the two sides' records is so large, in addition to the numerical superiority of the joint navy, the bombers in the sky also contributed a lot of achievements.

Although the bomber cannot hit with 100 shots and 100 accurately, as long as it hits, it can cause a lot of damage to the warship.

Especially those small and medium-sized warships with poor defense, as long as they hit, they are basically seriously injured, and if they are unlucky, they will sink.

Under such circumstances, any further fight will only increase casualties. The Australasian Navy was calm, and the officers and men of the only former dreadnought ship that was sunk were quickly rescued, but the casualties were not many.

And on the side of the American fleet, it is different. Because of the disadvantage in numbers, coupled with the constant hovering of planes in the sky, the American fleet did not have time to save the soldiers who fell into the sea.

Especially when a warship sinks, a huge whirlpool will form around the warship, and it is easy to suck unprepared soldiers to the bottom of the sea.

If no treatment is given to these soldiers, there is a high probability that the soldier who falls into the sea will face death, and a small probability will face death after a certain period of time.

This is actually one of the reasons for the surrender of the American fleet. Not only the commander of the U.S. fleet, but also the U.S. Navy soldiers understand the situation they face.

If the fleet commander continues to order them to die, I am afraid that the US Navy mutiny will not be far away.

In order to be safe, the commander of the US fleet also sent a public frequency telegram to the other side to ensure that the other side could receive it.

And the Combined Fleet did receive a telegram from the American fleet, and the commanders of the Australasian Fleet and the British Mediterranean Fleet showed a trace of surprise and astonishment on their faces.

One way or another, it's a good thing that the American fleet was able to surrender. It is doomed to the United States to continue to fight, but casualties on the side of the Combined Fleet are inevitable.

For the sake of safety, the Americans' words are not destined to be believed in their entirety.

So how to receive these American fleets that have already surrendered? Of course, small transport boats were used to transport the Americans.

All U.S. warships were to be transferred to Australasian and British warships, except for the necessary operating personnel.

At the same time, the Americans on the warships were subject to strict supervision to ensure that they did not suddenly erupt and cause harm to the Australasian army.

In the process, planes would constantly hover overhead to ensure that the Americans were surrendering, not cheating.

Fortunately, the loyalty of this group of American troops to the United States is not too high, and their surrender will naturally not be a ploy.

After escorting most of the American soldiers to their own warships, the Australasian side breathed a sigh of relief, and then headed north to California with all the American warships and American Navy men.

It is too unrealistic to transport to Australasia mainland, after all, there is an entire Pacific Ocean, and these American soldiers may have problems after a long time.

Anyway, now that California is also under the full control of Australasia, these US Navy soldiers will be detained in California first, and then how to deal with these warships of the US Pacific Fleet.

In fact, for Australasia and the United Kingdom, compared to these captured American Navy soldiers, those warships with less serious damage were the most valuable.

After the surrender of the U.S. Navy, the ownership of these warships naturally belonged to Australasia and the United Kingdom, but it was necessary to discuss how to distribute them.

The United States, as the second largest naval power, still has a large number of warships. The British naturally have thoughts about these warships, after all, what the British want to maintain most is their superiority in warships.

For Australasia, Arthur could do without the ships, but the British would have to do the same.

These warships are still the product of the Americans, and for Arthur they are behind the times, and the current Australasian Navy is large enough.

If the navy is too large, Australasia will be the next United States in the eyes of the British.

At this time, Arthur did not have the idea of confronting the British, and it was not a good thing to offend the British now, at least until after World War II.

If World War II had broken out as it had been in history, Britain and France would have been the bulwarks against German attack.

It would also be beneficial to properly strengthen the power of England, and at least one Britain would have irritated the Germans.

As U.S. warships docked off the coast of Los Angeles, many media outlets frantically reported the capture of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

This almost became the last straw that broke the Americans' back, and weakened the Americans' resistance a little again.

This is also big bad news for the U.S. government. After the capture of the Pacific Fleet, the only remaining Atlantic Fleet of the United States was not at all an opponent of the combined forces.

At present, the only hope for the United States is to frantically explode the army, use the army to block the attack of the coalition army, and completely muddy the waters of this war.

Compared with the policy changes of the Americans, the coalition army also has operations, and it is still the kind of murderous and murderous.

Knowing that the Americans wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, the coalition forces naturally did not want to give the United States this opportunity.

After all, there will be casualties in war, and war also represents a large amount of military consumption, which the combined army does not want to see.

Although the combined army seems to have only 800,000 troops, the navies of various countries are almost all dispatched, and the daily military expenditure is astronomical, and it will certainly not be able to sustain it for a long time.

Since the U.S. government can't be solved in a short period of time, the coalition forces quickly set their sights on other targets that can be solved quickly, that is, the state governments of the United States.

As the saying goes, a strong fortress is often breached first from within, and there is truth to this saying.

The current United States is like a strong fortress, not that it cannot be overcome, but that it will come at a great price.

If the U.S. states and the U.S. government were on the same front, it would be almost impossible to end the war in a short time.

At present, according to the information received by the United Army, the eastern states of the United States are already frantically expanding their troops.

The U.S. National Guard far outnumber the U.S. Army, and the combined size of the two has exceeded one million, which is a huge threat to the combined forces that want to quickly capture the entire United States.

If you want to solve the United States quickly, you must find a way to break up the United States, turn the whole United States into American states, and then attack them one by one.

Speaking of which, it is still necessary to mention the former colonial history of the United States.

As we all know, colonies began as strongholds established by colonists from various European countries, and eventually slowly evolved into cities, then developed from cities to huge colonies, and finally became a country in its own right.

And the strongholds established by these colonizers also have a common feature, that is, the strongholds of the same country and ethnic group are relatively close together, and there are almost no cases of mixed multi-country and multi-ethnic strongholds.

This is the most distinctive feature of the United States, which is the different ethnic distribution of states and regions, and the dispersal of European immigrants throughout the United States in such a unique way.

This is good news for the current coalition army, because they can use the characteristics of the ethnic ratio of each state to get the corresponding country to negotiate with the states of the United States.

The negotiating states were the ones that were not affected by the war, and the purpose was to keep them neutral in the war, not to support the United States.

Britain exerted enormous influence in this negotiation. The eastern states have a large number of immigrants of British origin, and these immigrants of British origin also contribute a large part of the force.

After all, for most immigrants, they don't want to see their country fighting against their former homeland, let alone the world.

It is precisely because of this public opinion that some state governments in the United States have gradually begun to retreat, and their willingness to support the US government is not so strong.

After all, directly opposing the U.S. government and simply remaining neutral are two different things. Theoretically, the states also have the right to remain neutral, after all, the United States has indeed fallen behind in this case.

In any case, if a country is the enemy of the whole world, then it is the country that is at fault after all.

Unless all countries can be defeated by absolute force, the disadvantage in public opinion cannot be reversed.

The most embarrassing thing for the US government is that the neutrality of the US states is fully achievable.

Because of the special system of the federation, the states of the United States operate completely independently, and only superficially obey the federal government.

Maintaining neutrality in the event of a war does not have much of an impact on the states, but rather protects them from the war, which is the real reason why the states have expressed their willingness to be neutral in the future.

And the United States, which has lost the support of these states, is like an airplane that has lost power, and after falling rapidly in the sky for a period of time, it can only crash at a certain time.
