Chapter 1222 The United States has won!
"'Han Xin-class, battlecruiser? Did the Chinese keep this battlecruiser completely confidential? So will there be any conspiracy in it?" asked Minister Meyer. It has been plaguing the US government and the navy, and even various countries.
The point of viewers is why the Chinese dared to go to the Atlantic Ocean to challenge the United States with 5 main battleships. Although most people think that the Chinese are arrogant and seeking death.
However, some people believe that the Chinese have always liked to use conspiracies and tricks. In almost every decisive naval battle, they can rely on many secret weapons to defeat the enemy! Therefore, Edward, chief of staff of the Joint Fleet.
After Lieutenant General Abol mentioned that the specific data of the Han Xin-class battle cruiser was not clear, Minister Meyer immediately raised his questions!
"This should be impossible! Minister, although the Chinese have kept the Han Xin-class battlecruiser confidential, our intelligence personnel have not yet figured out the intelligence of this battlecruiser. But we believe that this battlecruiser is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one that is the one
The performance should be comparable to our Colorado-class battlecruiser, or a little bit more powerful. According to the Chinese capital ship construction habits, all battleships are named after the emperors of the most powerful dynasties in the history of China.
, and the battle cruiser is the name of the famous generals of this dynasty! Therefore, after analysis by our experts, it is believed that although the parameters of the Han Xin-class battle cruiser are kept confidential in China, overall, they will not be corrected this time
The naval battle has too much impact. After all, we still have so many main battleships. It has been proved in the naval battle of the North Sea that battleships cannot confront battleships. The main guns of the battleships are enough to tear open the armor of the battleships.
, but the main gun of the battlecruiser cannot tear the armor of the battleship. In the duel between battleships and battleships, the battleship cruiser is at a great disadvantage!" William, commander of the joint fleet.
Admiral Benson said. Although he had also had doubts about the Chinese Navy's Han Xin-class battle cruisers, he did not think that these battle cruisers could change the situation!
"Minister! The Chinese built the Qin-class battleships and then built the Baiqi-class battleships. And the Baiqi-class battleships at least faster than the Qin-class battleships, and the firepower is also higher than the Qin-class battleships.
Qin-class battleships are just equivalent. Han Xin-class battleships were built after the Han-class battleships were built! Therefore, we believe that Han Xin-class battleships should also be faster than Han-class battleships.
Fast and firepower is just equivalent to the Han-class battleship! And our Colorado-class battlecruiser's military equipment is 8 343mm main guns, which is not much worse than the Chinese Han-Sin-class battleships!
"Edward, Chief of Staff of the Joint Fleet.
Lieutenant General Abol said!
William.
Admiral Benson and Edward.
Lieutenant General Abol's words made Minister Meyer feel much more at ease. Although he was the Minister of the Navy, he was not as clear as the Navy's generals about the specific equipment of the Navy. Since William.
Admiral Benson and Edward.
Lieutenant General Abol all believed that the Chinese "Han Xin-class battle cruiser was not worth worrying about, so he would no longer investigate this issue!
"Okay, I understand! General Abol, please continue!" Minister Meyer said!
"Yes, Minister! In addition to the main battleship, the Chinese have 18 Jianghe class and heavy cruisers. Jianghe class and heavy cruisers, with displacement of about 14,000 tons and the maximum speed is unknown, and the military equipment is three three-unit
We have 32 Philadelphia-class, heavy cruisers. Our Philadelphia-class, heavy cruisers, displacement of 11,000 tons, maximum speed of 26 knots, and the equipment is three dual-mounted 210 mm main
Compared with the Chinese's Jianghe-class and heavy cruisers, our Philadelphia-class and heavy cruisers have a tonnage of 3,000 tons, and three main guns are missing. According to our expert analysis, Philadelphia-class and heavy cruisers
The combat power is probably only about 60% to 70% of the heavy cruisers of the Chinese. Therefore, we plan to put all 32 Philadelphia-class heavy cruisers into this war.
To ensure that the advantage of quality is relied on quantity to offset the advantage. According to our calculations, our Philadelphia-class, heavy cruisers are enough to suppress the 18 Jianghe-class, heavy cruisers. What's more, our British allies this time 8
Edinburgh class, heavy cruiser.'The performance of the Edinburgh class, heavy cruiser is roughly equivalent to that of the Chinese, river class, heavy cruiser. Therefore, in the comparison of heavy cruisers, the joint fleet completely has an absolute advantage!" Edward.
Lieutenant General Abol said.
Minister Meyer nodded, although the Chinese were powerful, the combined fleet of 18 "Jianghe Class" and "Hong Kong Cruises" were 32 "Philadelphia Class" and "Edin! Fort Heavy Cruises,
The numerical advantage of more than twice is enough to completely suppress the Chinese people from taking over the ocean ships!
"In addition, the Chinese expeditionary fleet also includes more than 20 light cruisers and nearly 60 destroyers (the Americans regarded the Lop Nur class and the frigate as destroyers). The Chinese light cruisers and destroyers performed better than us
It's a little better. However, why did the Chinese add 60 destroyers to the fleet? This surprised us very much. Experts analyzed that the Chinese probably wanted to use lightning strike to deal with our main ships. However, they fought with lightning strikes.
Winning is the French Navy's naval construction idea in the last century. But now it has proven that this is completely unworkable! Therefore, we plan to invest fifty light cruisers and eighty destroyers. Plus 16 light cruisers from British allies
and 20 destroyers. The entire joint fleet will be the most powerful fleet ever. It has 46 battleships, 40 heavy cruisers, 66 light cruisers and destroyers. I firmly believe that such a powerful force is enough to crush China.
The navy's expeditionary fleet won this naval battle!" Edward.
Lieutenant General Abol finally concluded that the scale of this joint fleet is enough to shock everyone. Although the Chinese Navy has been winning battles in more than ten or twenty years, they all believe that this time
The Joint Fleet will defeat the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet and achieve a brilliant victory!
"It seems that we do have a great chance of winning! In this way, we will be relieved!" said U.S. Navy Secretary Meyer.
"Mr. Minister, please tell the President that this time we will definitely send all the yellow-skinned monkeys to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean!" William, Chief of Staff of the Joint Fleet.
Admiral Benson even promised!
"Well! I believe you!" Minister Meyer said with a smile on his face, and then he looked at British Admiral John.
De.
Robeck asked, "General Robeck, do you think we can win this naval battle?"
"His Excellency Minister, the Joint Fleet has an overwhelming advantage over the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet. I believe that victory must belong to us!" John.
De.
Admiral Robeck said.
"General Robeck, China is the enemy of our two countries, and the Chinese are extremely cunning. Therefore, I hope that in this naval battle, the navies of our two countries can cooperate sincerely and work hard to defeat the Chinese!" Meyer
The minister said. Although the United States and Britain are allies now, the two countries are not close. If it were normal, this might not have much impact. However, this naval battle is very important, and he does not want the two countries to
If there are any conflicts in the navy during the battle, if it leads to a crushing defeat in this naval battle, then this is unacceptable!
"Mr. Please rest assured that defeating the Chinese is also our hope for Britain. We will do our best in this naval battle! However, I hope that the command of the British fleet will be my own responsibility!" John.
De.
Admiral Robeck said. Only in this way can he ensure the completion of the British Secretary of Navy John.
The tasks assigned by Sir Fisher were to protect the strength of the British Navy as much as possible and to prevent the British Navy's fleet from being used as cannon fodder!
Minister Meyer hesitated for a moment, but nodded. Regarding this issue, the British government and the US government negotiated, and British Navy Secretary John.
Sir Fisher also contacted him specifically.
In order to pull the British Navy into the water, the US government finally agreed to the British demand. But at the same time, there is also a condition, that is, the British fleet must not stand idly by during the decisive battle between the US Navy and the Chinese Navy. If the US Navy fails, then the British Navy will
It is not good to ask for it either. Therefore, Minister Meyer added after nodding: "General Robeck, I agree that you are responsible for the command of the British fleet. However, I hope that the British fleet can fully utilize your combat power in the battle,
Keep the heroic style of the Royal Navy!”
"Of course, Lord Minister, the glory of the Royal Navy will not be defiled!" John.
De.
Admiral Robeck said!
In the end, the six battleships of the British Navy were divided into one battleship squad. The eight heavy cruisers were also divided into one heavy cruiser squad. William, the commander of the joint fleet.
If Benson wants to issue an order to the British fleet, he must first tell John.
have to.
Admiral Robeck. Then John.
De.
Admiral Robeck delivered to the British fleet!
After U.S. Navy Secretary Meyer returned to Washington from Norfolk Naval Base, he immediately went to US President Theodore.
Chapter completed!
