■On the sea twenty nautical miles north of the battle zone between the Chilean Navy and the Brazilian Navy, the U.S. fleet, composed of 10 advanced battleships, is rapidly heading south under the protection of some light cruisers and destroyers. This fleet was originally in the Caribbean
The patrol, after receiving domestic orders, immediately headed south quickly. After China acquired Guadeloupe, it successfully launched a patrol in the Caribbean Sea.
A nail was dropped. Although the Chinese Navy only deployed one light cruiser and two destroyers here, it was still a problem for the U.S. Navy. As a result, the U.S. Navy gradually strengthened its patrols in the Caribbean.
Strength. Americans have always regarded this sea area as their own backyard. Now that China is trying to reach out, of course the Americans will not be happy!
On the flagship battleship USS Wyoming, Admiral William Benson, commander of the East Coast Fleet of the U.S. Navy, was standing on the bridge, looking at the calm sea.
He did not pay attention to the battle between Chile and Brazil. Although Chile is known as the largest maritime power in South America, in the eyes of the U.S. Navy, the Chilean Navy is just a clown, a typical example of "there are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys dominate."
".The U.S. Navy can easily crush the Chilean Navy, if nothing else, just this time
A fleet of ten advanced battleships can completely wipe out the Chilean Navy. Of course, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt strictly ordered Admiral William Benson not to fire first, which would involve the United States in the war. This is not because the United States is afraid
It’s just that we don’t want to provoke China, which is behind Chile, at this critical juncture.
After Mexico was defeated by China again, the United States strengthened its arms development and accelerated the construction of the Panama Canal. Only when the Panama Canal is opened to navigation at an early date can the powerful East Coast Fleet of the United States appear on the west coast to resist the Chinese navy!
"Damn Chinese, I will definitely defeat you in the next naval battle!" Admiral William Benson secretly swore in his heart. He has been defeated by the Chinese navy many times, but this has not been able to shake him.
His firm belief. At the same time, the growing strength of the U.S. Navy also gave him great confidence!
The Wyoming-class battleships were imitated by the U.S. Navy using the design drawings of the Orion-class battleships obtained from the United Kingdom. A total of four ships were built. Even through these years of development, the U.S. Navy has obtained a lot of technology from the United Kingdom.
, and also learned a lot, but in terms of battleship design, the United States is still far behind.
This time, Admiral William Benson's fleet included two Wyoming-class battleships, and the other eight were two Mississippi-class battleships, two South Carolina-class battleships, and two special
Lava and battleship and two
A Florida-class battleship. These four-class battleships are modeled after the British Navy's Bellerophon-class battleships, St. Vincent-class battleships, Neptune-class battleships and Giant-class battleships. But each class
U.S. Navy
Only two ships were built. It was not until the Chinese Navy's Han-class battleships were exposed that the U.S. Navy increased the number of Wyoming-class battleships and the subsequent New York-class and Nevada-class battleships. These three classes
battleship,
All use 343mm main guns, and four ships will be built in each class. Once put into service, the U.S. Navy will have a combat capability that is not weaker than that of the Chinese Navy. The Wyoming-class battleships were the first to enter service.
A battleship with a 343mm main gun!
"General, there is a call from the Brazilian Navy, hoping that we can rush to the rescue as soon as possible. So far, one battleship of the Brazilian Navy has been sunk and another has been severely damaged and withdrawn from the battlefield!" A staff officer reported to Admiral William Benson.
!
William = Admiral Benson couldn't help but frowned. These Brazilians are too bad. They showed their defeat so quickly. Are the battleships built by the Chinese for the Chileans really that powerful?
"Order the ships to speed up and help them!" William = Admiral Benson ordered.
Soon the American fleet increased its speed to 18 knots and rushed towards the battlefield quickly. At their current speed, they would be able to appear on the battlefield in half an hour. After a huge fleet suddenly appeared, no matter how bold the Chilean navy was,
, I definitely don’t dare to act rashly!
In the waters where the Chilean Navy and the Brazilian Navy were fighting fiercely, after the Brazilian Navy Commander Admiral Kevin gave the order, the fleet immediately turned and fled to the north. With only two battleships left, they no longer had the courage to fight anymore.
"Haha! The Brazilians got scared and chased after them. They sank all the Brazilian warships and sent these guys to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!" Chilean Navy Admiral Jorge ordered excitedly. Now, the Chilean Navy has a chance to win.
As long as the Brazilian navy is annihilated, he, the naval commander, will gain another great achievement! No matter how the land war turns out, he, the naval commander, has earned enough military exploits!
Rear Admiral Zhao Hongcai smiled and had no objection to Admiral Jorge’s order! At this point in the naval battle, Brazil’s Maritime Disgrace was definitely lost! After solving the Brazilian Navy, the Chilean Navy will launch a series of attacks on Brazil’s coastal cities.
Attack fiercely and let Brazil taste the power of being involved in the war. Maybe it will make Brazil change its mind. If Brazil withdraws from the war, then Chile can easily win the war!
The Chilean Navy quickly turned around and pursued the Brazilian Navy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The four battleships of the Chilean Navy increased their speed to twenty knots, quickly caught up with the Brazilian Navy, and then opened fire fiercely. The Brazilian Navy only had two battleships left, and the naval battle had become
The score was four to two, which was very disadvantageous to the Brazilian Navy. However, fortunately, both sides were now at high speed. The Chilean Navy's gunnery skills were already relatively poor. In such a situation,
At high speeds, it is even more difficult to hit the target. Water columns are constantly rising around the Brazilian Navy's battleships, but they are still unable to hit the target. This makes the Brazilian Navy officers and soldiers very nervous. Brazilian Navy Commander Kevin
The general's face was even more livid. In his opinion, the Chilean Navy's waste of ammunition was simply showing off its power! However, the Brazilian Navy could not do anything about it!
At 12:20, the watchman of the battleship Santiago suddenly sounded an alarm. This shocked the Chilean Navy, which was chasing the Brazilian Navy. It was about to win the final victory, but nothing happened!
"Commander, General, a huge fleet has appeared twenty kilometers northeast, with ten battleships!" the staff officer reported to Admiral Qiaoge and Major General Zhao Hongcai!
"Oh God! Ten battleships?" Admiral Jorg jumped up immediately!
"Which country's battleship?" Rear Admiral Zhao Hongcai also changed his face!
"It can be seen from the flying flag that this fleet is the U.S. Navy!" the staff officer reported!
"Americans? What are they doing here? Do they want to start a war with us?" General Jorge was even more nervous. Behind Brazil is the United States, which the top Chilean officials are very aware of. However, they do not
I think the U.S. Navy will easily get involved in the war. After all, Chile is not without backers. If the United States launches an attack on Chile and bullies the small, China behind Chile will definitely not sit idly by! But now the United States
The fleet suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which made everyone in the Chilean Navy very nervous!
"General Zhao, what should we do now?" General Qiao Ge asked.
"Ignore the Americans and continue to attack the Brazilian Navy and try to sink them!" Major General Zhao Hongcai ordered with a cold face. At the same time, he signaled a Chinese naval officer to send a telegram that had been prepared!
Admiral Jorge nodded, seeing that the battle between the Brazilian navy was about to win, he couldn't give up halfway because of this!
"The U.S. fleet is coming, we are saved!" At the moment the U.S. fleet appeared on the battlefield, a trace of blood finally appeared on the face of Brazilian Navy Commander Admiral Kevin!
However, what he didn't expect was that after the US Navy appeared, the Chilean Navy's attacks not only did not stop, but became more violent!
After the U.S. fleet discovered this situation, they also took corresponding measures. On the one hand, they sent a clear telegram to the Chilean Navy, and at the same time, they also accelerated towards the battlefield!
"Commander, General, the U.S. Navy claims that this sea area will become a U.S. Navy exercise area and requires us to leave immediately!" the staff officer said with an ugly face!
"Damn it, these Americans are obviously helping the Brazilians to prevent us from annihilating all the Brazilians!" Admiral Jog said angrily!
"Ignore them and continue the attack!" Major General Zhao Hongcai ordered.
"But, General Zhao, what if the US Navy really launches an attack on us?" Admiral Qiao Ge was a little worried!
"Humph! They don't have the courage. Don't worry, General Qiao Ge, we have already been prepared!" Major General Zhao Hongcai said.
Hearing General Zhao Hongcai's affirmation, General Qiao Ge breathed a sigh of relief!
"General, the Chileans replied that this is the sea area where they are fighting with the Brazilian Navy. We have no right to expropriate this sea area!" On the battleship USS Wyoming, the staff officer reported to Admiral William Benson!
"What? These damn Chileans, don't they think that with the support of the Chinese, they can do whatever they want! Don't they know that the entire Western Atlantic Ocean is the sphere of influence of the US Navy? Order the fleet to speed up.
, the main guns of each ship, aim at the battleships of the Chilean Navy!" Admiral William Benson ordered. The Chilean Navy's behavior of ignoring the warning of the US Navy made him very dissatisfied!
