Chapter 407 It's Dangerous to Make Fakes Come True
Chapter 407: The fake becomes true, Ying’s father is in danger! (Please subscribe, please vote)
On the Caribbean Sea, night has gradually fallen, and a fleet of dozens of various ships is plowing white waves on the sea. Among this fleet are battleships with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons, and some
There are armored cruisers with a displacement of 10,000 tons, as well as various second- and third-class protected cruisers, as well as many destroyers. Of course, there are also less noticeable aircraft carriers and various transport ships that are towed by the destroyers.
These dozens of warships, with battleships and armored cruisers as the core, formed four large columns, arrayed majestically on the sea, with billowing smoke almost covering the sky. Such a spectacular scene made Fleet Commander William Baga
The lieutenant general was very excited. He had three Victory-class battleships, three Indomitable-class battleships, six brand-new Crecy-class armored cruisers, and as many as 43 second- and third-class cruisers and destroyers at his disposal.
Transport ships, airship carriers, and a total of 24 aircraft carriers!
Such a powerful force is only half of the powerful maritime armed forces possessed by Britain and the United States in the upcoming second Atlantic naval battle. In the Delaware Bay, 1,000 nautical miles to the north, there is an equally powerful naval fleet lurking within it.
.
The two fleets combined have a total of more than a hundred combat ships of various types, including as many as 12 battleships and as many as 10 armored cruisers! If such a naval strength is moved to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, it will face
The Pacific Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the Western Fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Dynasty may not be big enough to see, but in the Atlantic Ocean, you can definitely walk sideways.
Mexico and Colombia have a total of 4 "anti-American packages" in their hands, that is, 4 heroes and 4 heroes. Moreover, the Republic of Colombia has lost its ambitions after losing Bolivar. It is already very difficult to survive without disintegration.
It’s not easy anymore. So this country declared its outsider neutrality early, and their two “anti-American packages” don’t need to be considered at all.
The remaining Royal Mexican Navy plus the strength of the so-called German and Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces may be able to defeat the US Navy, but if Britain and the United States join forces, they will have an overwhelming advantage. How can they not win?
Thinking of this, William Bagga began to look forward to the decisive battle coming soon, so that the Yellow Peril of Ming Dynasty could understand the power of the British Empire!
However, Lieutenant-Admiral William Baga in the Royal Oak (Victory-class) battleship would never have thought at this time that the whereabouts of his fleet had been mastered by Zhuge Weidao, the admiral of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Dynasty!
What's even more troublesome is that Zhuge Weidao also regarded his fleet as the main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and decided to annihilate the enemy in a decisive battle!
The reason why this happened was because William Baga's fleet had been flying the American Stars and Stripes. Although the British Empire had fought several wars with the Ming Dynasty, it could never make up its mind to declare war.
Therefore, the British Royal Navy has been flying the flag of the Royal Indian Navy in the Indian Ocean to fight against the Ming Dynasty Navy. In the Atlantic Ocean, it has been flying the flag of the US Navy to fight against the Ming Dynasty Navy and the Royal Navy of Mexico, which are also flying the flag of the Texas Navy.
It can be said to be extremely cautious.
At the same time, the British Empire also used its influence in Cuba to issue an incorrect weather forecast when William Baga's fleet crossed the Wind Channel for the second time, grounding all Spanish naval airships stationed in Cuba and destroying all ships.
All returned to Hong Kong to take shelter.
Therefore, it should be impossible for Vice Admiral William Baga's fleet to be discovered by his opponents that it has passed through the Windward Channel. But he never expected that just before his fleet crossed the Windward Channel, a B-type ocean-going vessel guarded the north of the Windward Channel.
The submarine, half submerged and half floating in the sea, saw billowing smoke from a distance. So it immediately sent a telegram to the Texas Maritime Command in Texas City, reporting the military situation that "the U.S. Atlantic Fleet is about to pass through the Windward Strait."
Then, the B-type ocean-going submarine dived into the water again and used its periscope to watch the "main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet" arranged in four rows passing through the strait. After the main force of the "main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet" moved away, it surfaced again and set up a telegram again.
A report was made to Texas City, reporting the situation of the "main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet" it had discovered.
Dezhou City, Dezhou Public Palace.
"Colonel, Telegram No. B09." A Ming Navy captain in charge of the Longwave Radio Station in Dezhou City handed the telegram to Guo Xiaobao, who looked at it twice, then his eyes flashed, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the meeting room.
In the meeting room, Zhuge Weidao was holding a baton, pointing at the map, and explaining his latest battle plan to Emperor Agustín. The Mexico-Texas Combined Fleet is currently implementing radio silence, which means that it can only receive reports, not send them.
Report. In this case, the Mexico-Texas combined fleet does not have operational command authority before the silence is lifted, and can only act according to the instructions of the Texas headquarters, which is actually Zhuge Weidao himself.
"The combined fleet can use the darkness as cover, turn the entire fleet to the south, and then advance at full speed.
The combined fleet must get as close as possible to the main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and at the same time send a fast cruiser formation to serve as the vanguard and undertake the search mission. If the fast cruiser formation fails to find the target before dawn, then a reconnaissance aircraft will be sent to search.
Once the target is discovered, all carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched in waves to carry out intensive bombing of the enemy fleet. There are a total of 240 carrier-based aircraft on our 6 aircraft-carrying frigates. After deducting the reconnaissance aircraft, there are still 204 aircraft, which can be
Launch air strikes in 2 waves!
While the air attack is ongoing, the battleship and armored cruiser formations will launch a full-speed assault, striving to find an opportunity for a decisive battle after severely damaging the enemy fleet in the void."
As soon as he said this, Guo Xiaobao 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. He immediately showed a victor's smile and said to Emperor Agustin: "Your Majesty, we have identified six battleships. They should be Victory class, which is what Americans call the United States class."
That type of battleship, four armored cruisers, the model is unknown, and more than 40 other types of warships... and all warships fly the Stars and Stripes.
There is no doubt that this is the main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet!"
Emperor Agustin was a little nervous and said: "Commander Zhuge, they have six battleships and four armored cruisers! We only have two hero-class ships and two hero-class ships...can we really win?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Zhuge Weidao said with confidence, "We will definitely win... because we have six aircraft-carrying frigates and 240 carrier-based aircraft, while the enemy does not even have a ship that can carry aircraft.
!
So... I have the advantage in this battle, I have the initiative, and our army will win!
After the victory, the United States will definitely be panic-stricken, and then it will be an opportunity for the Texas Army and the Mexican Army to launch a large-scale attack in Texas!"
Emperor Agustín nodded slightly, "This is the best... We in Mexico have no way of sustaining a protracted war. I hope we can win it quickly!"
