Chapter 215 The White House is just 200 kilometers away! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Compared with the wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean, the wind and waves in the North Atlantic are really much bigger.

Under the influence of the fierce sea wind, the sea surface was as blue as a shiny blue blanket, and the swells rolled layer by layer, which also caused a row of large and small ships floating on the sea to rise and fall. Although this

There are three large ships in a row with standard displacements exceeding or approaching 15,000 tons. However, in the vast sea, they are still like a few small boats, which can only keep swaying with the waves.

And this "small boat" traveling through the wind and waves is the "express fleet" led by Zhuge Weidao. They have now left Warrior Bay, Texas, and entered the windy and rough North Atlantic Ocean.

I don’t know whether it was to avoid the bigger waves in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean or to deliberately make the Americans angry. Zhuge Weidao chose a channel very close to the U.S. coastline—just three nautical miles away from the U.S. coast. It can be said that

Navigating closely to the territorial sea baseline!

This is a bit scary to the Americans. After all, the Hero of this "Express Fleet" is still the most powerful battleship in the world today. Now that the U.S. Navy has to use up its little capital, it may not be able to withstand the Hero's 280mm main gun.

Violently.

But where is the American fleet?

When Zhuge Weidao thought of this, he raised his telescope and looked around the coastline of the United States. He didn't see it, but he found a large entrance to the bay.

"Baozhi, where are we?" Zhuge Weidao asked casually.

"General, we have arrived near the entrance of Pisacek Bay!" Guo Xiaobao replied with a smile.

Major Xiaobao is in a good mood!

During this period, the mission went smoothly. First, the Emperor of Mexico and the presidents of Gran Colombia, Peru, and Bolivar placed four large orders for "anti-American packages", which were 28 ships with a total price of more than 80 million.

This is only the purchase price of the warship, not including personnel training, port reconstruction, shipyard reconstruction and a series of subsequent expenses!

If nothing else happens, the entire big order will cost more than 100 million!

In addition, the Republic of Chile on the Pacific coast of South America also placed an order for a set meal. There are 5 servings in total.

Then the landing in Texas went very smoothly. Although the U.S. government protested to the Mexican Empire after learning of the landing of the "samurai immigrants" - Texas is a place that the United States wants to rob. How can you Mexicans ask Japanese samurai to look after your home?

Court? This is a serious violation of American interests!

However, under the protection of the heroic ship, the landing operation was completed smoothly without any obstruction.

After completing the cover landing, the "Express Fleet" has been sailing along the coastline of the United States, preparing to sail freely to New York for a tour, and then cross the Atlantic to the Rakshasa Country. We have to get the ship in before the Gulf of Riga freezes. Time

It's a bit tight, but it shouldn't cause any problems.

As long as we can get to the Rakshasa Kingdom in time, we should be able to sell 5 more "packages". Adding the 5 sold before, at least 10 "anti-American packages" will be sent during this trip, a total of 70 warships.

Guo Xiaobao must have contributed to this business. When he returns to Ming Dynasty, he should be promoted to lieutenant colonel, right?

Guo Xiaobao is so beautiful, Zhuge Weidao suddenly said again: "This is the entrance to Pisacek Bay, and the White House is 200 kilometers away!"

"Ah, it's just 200 kilometers away, but we can't go back now because they didn't invite us. It was still difficult to negotiate the supply docking in New York."

Zhuge Weidao said: "Yes, when the British burned down the Presidential Palace 14 years ago, no one invited them, right?"

"No. General, you don't want to burn down the White House, do you? That's inappropriate, right?"

"What is appropriate or inappropriate?" Zhuge Weidao immediately glanced at him, "We are not going to burn down the White House now. But we may burn down the White House one day in the future. So now we need to familiarize ourselves with the terrain. It is rare for us to come here.

We must take this opportunity to take a few laps around the entrance to Pisacek Bay and explore the terrain.”

Guo Xiaobao knew that this was Zhuge Weidao giving an order, so he quickly stood at attention and said loudly: "Yes, sir!"

Zhuge Weidao gave an order, and the most powerful battleships in the world started wandering outside the Norfolk Naval Base, the home port of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, outside Pisacek Bay in the United States. This can put the United States inside the Norfolk base

The naval officers and soldiers were frightened. The walls of the Norfolk Fortress were already full of US Navy officers. They were all looking through binoculars. The more they looked, the more anxious they became!

What to do?

The legendary "heroes" are all here. And they obviously have no good intentions. They are spying on the reality of the U.S. Navy and exploring ways to burn down the White House in the future!

Although it is not wartime, the U.S. Navy cannot let people block the door of their home to spy on military intelligence, right? Even if the other party has not entered U.S. territorial waters, they still have to be driven away!

After all, the United States currently implements a 3-nautical-mile territorial sea, which is only 5.55 kilometers. The fortresses and forts on the coast can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

But it is necessary to drive them away. It would be a shame to drive out the "old, broken, and small" ones the US Navy currently has!

Because the "rebellious son" of the United States colluded with the Emperor during the Napoleonic Wars, refused to obey after the Napoleonic Wars, and attempted to annex Canada, a British-American war was fought. After the war, the "British Father" began to advance the United States in naval technology.

Neck. The Ming Dynasty, the world's largest industrial power, has always been hostile to the United States. Although it has never sent troops to North America to burn down the White House, various embargoes and sanctions have been arranged. Of course, the import of technology and weapons is prohibited. U.S. cotton

, American cigarettes, American wheat, etc., are also prohibited from being imported into the Chinese economic circle because they use black slaves.

Under this situation, although the United States is still very wealthy, its naval ships are really a bit old. Some battleships are still steam paddle steamers. The motor-driven sailboats that use propellers are already considered advanced, and they are not a generation behind the Hero class.

Although the British father has promised to provide advanced shipbuilding technology and also promised to sell the most advanced ships to the United States, we still don’t know where those things are!

But the Ming Dynasty's battleships have been blocked outside the Pisacek Bay. It's really scary!

A group of U.S. Navy officers didn't know what to do. Suddenly someone shouted: "Look, Colonel Perry's Mississippi frigate is heading towards the Hero!"

"Really, Colonel Perry is so good!"

"As expected of the Perry family"

"The Ming Dynasty's hero ship won't really fire, will it?"

"How is it possible? There is no declaration of war now, and we, the United States, are now allies with the British Empire and the Indian Empire. With the support of Britain and India, what do we have to fear?"

There is indeed no need to be afraid. With the support of Indians, what does the United States have to fear?

The USS Mississippi frigate that is now going to drive away the Ming Dynasty naval formation is an old-fashioned protected cruiser of more than 3,000 tons, the kind that can hang sails.

This kind of ship is only used by unfavorable countries in Europe as the main force of their navy. However, the U.S. Navy is at this level right now, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Therefore, Matthew Perry, who was ordered to perform patrol duties today, had no choice but to go ahead.

After all, this is his duty as a U.S. Navy officer.

"Sir, there is an old-fashioned sailboat approaching. It seems to be a U.S. Navy frigate."

"Sir, the American motorboat is hoisting flags. The Americans say that this is close to U.S. territorial waters and please leave immediately."

Inside the bridge of the Hero, staff members immediately reported to Zhuge Weidao, who also served as the captain.

"Close to U.S. territorial waters?" Zhuge Weidao smiled softly, "That is to say, we have not entered U.S. territorial waters yet... Send a semaphore to the U.S. frigate and tell them that our formation is performing a freedom of navigation mission on the high seas. Please ask them

Don't interfere and keep a safe distance from us.

Otherwise, we will regard it as a provocative act against the Ming Navy!"
