"Bad bastards! How can they do this? Those are innocent civilians. Brazilian President Alfonso Pena was furious after learning that the Chilean navy had shelled Porto Alegre. Although he had guessed that Brazil
After declaring war on Chile, Chile will definitely retaliate.
But I didn't expect that Chile's revenge would come so quickly, and it started directly from Porto Alegre.
"Does the Chileans really plan to destroy all Brazilian coastal cities?" President Alfonso = Pena thought in a little horrified manner.
"His Excellency President, we must immediately order the residents of coastal cities to evacuate urgently, at least twenty kilometers away from the coast! Otherwise, if the Chileans are determined to destroy Brazil, we will pay a heavy price!
” Interior Minister Markaves suggested!
"Marcavez, do you know how many people will evacuate? At least tens of millions!" Alfonso Pena said with a red face!
"His Excellency the President, we can first consider evacuating residents of big cities. In other small cities, the Chilean navy will not launch an attack on these small cities unless it is absolutely necessary!" said Markaves.
"Okay! The Ministry of the Interior will order immediately! However, we cannot defend passively like this. Lord Nelson, is the navy ready? Can we go south to fight against the Chilean navy? We cannot tolerate the Chilean navy massacre of Brazilian civilians!"
President So Pena said. If the government sits silently, his approval rating in Brazil will probably drop to a freezing point, which will be very unfavorable for his future rule!
"His Excellency President, the Navy is ready for combat! However, the strength of the Chilean Navy is far stronger than that of us, and our Navy has no possibility of victory!" said Navy Minister Nelson!
"No matter what, I have to try it! The Chilean Navy came from afar, and their combat power was definitely not at its peak. The Navy should defeat the Chilean Navy as much as possible. I will contact the United States if I really can't win,
We will ask the US Navy to take action in time!" President Alfonso = President Pena said. If the Brazilian Navy itself has the ability to protect the coastline, it is of course the best! If it really doesn't work, then we can only ask the United States for help!
"It's Your Excellency the President, I understand!" Nelson said. The Chilean Navy shelled Port Alegre. If the Brazilian Navy ignored it, it would be a very big blow to the government's reputation. At the same time, Alegre
Port Ri is just the first target to be attacked by the Chilean navy. Which city is the next one? Florianopolis, Sao Paulo, or the capital Rio de Janeiro. No matter which city it is, Brazil still has the responsibility to defend it.
People in the country!
"Hmph! Do these hateful Chileans think this will scare us? This is impossible! We will definitely defeat them! His Excellency Patrick, speed up the mobilization, within half a month, the first army will be the first
Going to Argentina!" President Alfonso = President Pena said strictly. Obviously, he was completely angered by the revenge of the Chilean Navy! It seems that Chile wanted to force Brazil to withdraw from the war in this way, which was counterproductive. Of course, Ah,
Fangsuo = The reason why Pena has such confidence is entirely because of the promises made by the United States. The United States is undoubtedly in a dominant position in the Atlantic region, especially the Western Atlantic waters!
That night, the Brazilian Navy, led by Commander General Kevin, left the anchorage of Guanabara Bay and sailed south along the Brazilian coastline to prepare to block the Chilean Navy.
At the same time, before the navy set off, President Alfonso Pena urgently made an appointment with the US Ambassador to Brazil Zachley.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, you should know that this evening, the crime committed by the Chilean Navy in Port Alegre, they shamelessly opened fire on unarmed civilians, not only destroying the port area of Port Alegre, but also slaughtering the slaughter of Port Alegre.
Tens of thousands of Brazilian civilians! I have ordered that the Brazilian navy immediately advance south and prepare to fight against the Chilean navy!" said President Alfonso Pena.
"Your Excellency the President, I am also very angry at the crimes committed by the Chileans in Port Alegre! This behavior of the Chileans is simply a trampling on life. Please rest assured that the United States will not ignore it. We
We will unite the whole world to condemn the Chileans and impose economic blockade on them!" Ambassador Zachley said righteously!
Alfonso = President Pena couldn't help but roll his eyes. Economic blockade is useless to Chile! Chile's largest trading partner is China. Can the United States affect China's foreign policy? This is obviously impossible. Besides, Chile
The exported saltpeter, copper ore and phosphate ore are all needed by various powerful countries, and they cannot impose an economic blockade on Chile!
"His Ambassador, to be honest, our navy does not have the ability to defeat the Chilean navy. Of course, although we have decided to fight to the death. However, if there is danger, I hope the US Navy can take action in time to prevent the Chilean navy from experiencing the Brazilian sea.
You promised Brazil!” President Alfonso Pena said directly.
"Of course, Your Excellency the President, there is no problem with this. Admiral William Benson, commander of the East Coast Fleet of our Navy, has personally led a fleet of ten battleships to the south. It has now passed the mouth of the Dorsey River, and is from Rio de Janeiro,
It's only a day's voyage. If your country's navy slows down a little, maybe our fleet will arrive after you start a war with the Chilean navy! However, unless the Chilean navy takes the initiative to attack our fleet, our fleet will not
The one who took the initiative to launch an attack on the Chilean Navy!" Ambassador Zachley reminded!
"Of course, your Ambassador, I know. If the United States intervenes forcibly, China will definitely intervene directly! Leave the battle with the Chilean Navy to our Brazilian Navy!" President Alfonso = Pena said. He and
It is unrealistic to rely on the US Navy to directly eliminate the Chilean Navy. The United States can help Brazil, but decided not to go directly to war with Chile. He just hopes that the US Navy can save the Brazilian Navy at a critical moment and reserve some for the Navy.
It's just strength. In that case, he also gave an explanation to the Brazilian people. It's not that the government has done nothing, but that it has worked hard, but it really can't beat the other party!
"Okay, Your Excellency President, I will convey your country's request to General William Benson!" said Ambassador Zachley!
Although the Brazilian Navy left the Bay of Banagura overnight, Chile had already received the exact news the next day. In addition to four Rio de Janeiro-class battleships, the Brazilian Navy's fleet heading south also includes two armored cruisers.
, the number of five light cruisers and eight destroyers is not inferior to that of the Chilean Navy in terms of the number of warships alone. However, in terms of quality, the Brazilian Navy is not as good as that of the Chilean Navy!
The Brazilian Navy's Rio de Janeiro-class battleship is actually a counterfeit by the United States based on the British Navy's Saint Vincent's battleship. It has a displacement of tons, a maximum speed of 21 knots, and its military equipment is 5 dual-mounted 5mm main guns. And the Chilean Navy
The Santiago-class battleships are much worse in terms of firepower and speed. The other armored cruisers are not the opponents of Chengdu-class heavy cruisers. Therefore, once a naval battle breaks out, as long as no miracle happens, Brazil
The Navy decided that there was no possibility of victory! Of course, the Brazilian Navy itself was very clear about this, otherwise President Alfonso Pena would not have asked the US Navy to take action!
On the 27th of KO, the Chilean Navy arrived in Florianopolis and once again bombarded the coastal city. Although most of the residents of the city had evacuated, it still caused thousands of casualties, half of them.
The city was bombed into ruins!
Florianopolis was bombarded, which once again stimulated the Brazilian government and the navy. President Alfonso Pena strictly ordered the navy to stop them before the Chilean navy attacked Sao Paulo. Otherwise, the navy commander Kevin would
He was sent to the military court! The Brazilian Navy, which was originally sailing south slowly, had to accelerate its way south under pressure. This is what the Chilean Navy hopes to see!
On the morning of October 29, the Chilean Navy and the Brazilian Navy encountered the waters thirty nautical miles east of the Brazilian coastal city of Peruibi. Before that, the Chilean Navy had already provided supplies and prepared for the battle.
"Prepare for battle!" When the two sides were twenty kilometers apart, the two sides had already issued orders to prepare for battle. However, the Chilean Navy's movements were obviously more proficient. After defeating the Argentine Navy, the Chilean Navy's confidence increased greatly and it was simply
The Brazilian Navy was not taken seriously. On the contrary, the Brazilian Navy was more panicked. The lessons of the Argentine Navy made the Brazilian Navy lingering fear. In addition, Brazil can also be equipped with the Rio de Janeiro class, and the battleships did not last long, so they also
I haven't fully mastered this new battleship!
The four Santiago-class battleships of the Chilean Navy lined up into a battle line and approached the Brazilian Navy.
The four Ligou Dejairo-class battleships of the Brazilian Navy also completed their combat preparations!
At 9:5 am, the two sides crossed over an distance of 8,000 meters and launched the first round of shelling!
"Each ship is ready to start attacking, so that the Brazilians can know your power!" Major General Zhao Hongcai ordered. He knew that this was an excellent opportunity to destroy the Brazilian navy!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Chilean Navy's "Santiago, the battleship, first started the artillery bombardment and started this naval battle!
