Chapter 852 Blocking the Canal (seeking a monthly pass)
On June 28, newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Post reported on the upcoming navigation ceremony of the Panama Canal to be held next month, and both claimed that the US Navy's "New York, Battleship and Texas"
The battleship, the USS. Battleship will become the first ship to pass through the canal. This immediately attracted the attention of the whole world. In the world shrouded in the shadow of the world war, only one Mars can detonate the war. This time the United States uses the Panama Canal
Will the launch and dispatch of battleships to the west coast become the fuse for the outbreak of the world war?
The treaty signed by China and the United States after the Second Pacific War clearly stipulated that the United States must not deploy warships with displacement of more than 10,000 tons on the West Coast. And now the United States is obviously testing China's reaction. Almost major countries in the world
Everyone is waiting for China's reaction, especially European countries have begun to prepare secretly. If the war breaks out in July, how should they be in a favorable position? Of course, some countries believe that China will choose to compromise. China is not like Europe
All countries around the world are very clear about the same large-scale military preparations. On the contrary, the United States' military strength is rising steadily, which has created an illusion for the outside world that China is negative about foreign wars
With the increasing military strength of the United States, China may choose to compromise and concession. Just like China in the past, even though it was hundreds of years ago, China was the most powerful country in the world. But their kind
The doctrine of being content with the status quo will make them give up their external expansion. However, this is obviously not China today. If China is unwilling to expand externally, it would not have such a huge territory now!
On the afternoon of June 29, Beijing time, the Imperial Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, Army Minister Cai Yun, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo all went to Xinhua Palace under the imperial edict.
"Dear sirs, the Americans have been dancing happily these days? They seem to be a little lost, right?" Wang Yuze said with a smile. On the desk in front of him, there was a New York Times translated into Chinese.
"Your Majesty, the Americans have indeed been too much during this period. They are completely challenging the bottom line of the empire. The treaty signed at the beginning clearly stipulated that the US Navy could not deploy more than 10,000 tons of warships on the West Coast, but now they are trying to participate in Panama
The navigation ceremony of the canal was used as an excuse to tear up the treaty signed. I believe that we must not let the Americans go, otherwise they would think that the empire is easy to bully and will definitely become more severe in the future!" The empire's Prime Minister Wu Tingfang was very bullied.
He signed the treaty on behalf of China. Isn’t this American approach greatly unwilling to give him face? After taking over as the Prime Minister of the Empire and becoming the third Prime Minister of the Empire, Wu Tingfang can be regarded as the whole thing.
One of the most powerful people in the world!
"Your Majesty, Ambassador to the United States, Zhang Yintang, has called to ask whether to protest to the Americans in the name of the embassy. Although the Americans want to tear up the treaty, they don't seem to have any confidence, otherwise they will not be able to test it,
As long as the Panama Canal is opened to navigation, it is enough to directly send warships through the canal to create a fait accompli! Therefore, as long as we object, they will definitely stop!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi suggested!
"Americans are indeed dissatisfied, but it would be too cheap to warn them and let them shrink back in a moment! What I hope is to give Americans a harsh lesson, let them harshly in front of the whole world
It was a shame that they would never dare to provoke us again!" Wang Yuze said, and involuntarily brought a hint of murderous aura in his words.
"Please give the orders of your Majesty. The imperial army has already prepared for war!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu said immediately!
"Chief of the General Staff, let's go to war. Now is not the best time to start a war. We will attack the United States, but this is under the premise that war has broken out in Europe. The world war will not be initiated by us!" Wang Yuze smiled and said.
Speaking of which, only when a war between the Allies and the Allies broke out can Wang Yuze be completely at ease. Otherwise, if the Allies and the Allies unite to deal with China, then China will be completely miserable. Even if China has the most powerful military power in the world
·The largest population, but the chance of winning is still not high, and at most it can be tied after paying a huge price. Although China is strong, it does not have enough strength to start a war with the whole world, allowing the allies and the Allies to consume each other. This is a must
.
Therefore, only after Europe has started fighting can China be safely able to attack the United States.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu nodded.
Looking at the white hair on Xiong Wu's head, Wang Yuze couldn't help but feel a little moved. Xiong Wu has served as the Chief of Staff since the western Sichuan period. He has been in his sixties for more than 20 years.
The country has contributed too much. Wang Yuze has already planned to let the Army Minister Cai Yun take over as Chief of Staff within this year. Compared with Xiong Wu, Cai Yun is more than ten years younger, and can be called a young and strong person.
During his term, it should be enough for the Empire to finish World War I!
"Your Majesty, then this time I teach the Americans a lesson, it seems that our navy has taken action!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng!
"Of course, the navigation ceremony of the Panama Canal held by the Americans was held on July 18, and at that time, the Pacific Fleet will conduct an exercise at the Pacific estuary of the Panama Canal to block the entire canal! I want to see,
How did American battleships pass through the canal at the time!" Wang Yuze said with a smile!
"Yes, your majesty, I understand. At that time, the Pacific Fleet will prepare a target ship at the exit of the canal. Then the Pacific Fleet's battleship will conduct live-fire exercises there. If the Americans are not afraid of death, they can make them
The battleship rushed out!" Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng said with a smile. There are too many ways to deal with the Americans. Although he did not plan to start a war with the United States now, he took this opportunity to slap the Americans hard
, there is no problem at all!
"Haha! This method is good! Block the American battleships in the canal so that they can't get out. It depends on how they step down when the time comes!" Army Secretary Cai Yun also laughed. The method that Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng came up with.
, It's really wonderful. Americans can't interfere with the exercises held by the Chinese Navy! In this case, it would be a substantial provocation of China!
"However, both American battleships are New York-class battleships, with a displacement of up to 30,000 tons, and are equipped with five dual-equipped 343 mm main guns. The Pacific Fleet has only one "Han-class, battleship, and one "Bai Qi".
Class, battle cruisers, two "Qin-class, battleships and two "Chinese-class, battleships, battleships, will they not be able to suppress the Americans?" Secretary of Defense Jiang Xingguo said with some concern. If a war really breaks out then, the United States
Two powerful warships of humans may pose a great threat to the Pacific Fleet.' No matter how powerful the battleships in Han-class are, they cannot fight against two!
"Don't worry, according to the information we obtained, the Americans will not send more troops to avoid excessive stimulation of us. Apart from these two battleships, there are only a few light cruisers and destroyers. The Pacific Fleet
We can completely eat these two battleships. Although our Qin-class, battleship and Chinese-class battleships are not as good as the Americans' New York-class battleships in tonnage, number of main guns and caliber, they are not as good as those of the Americans' New York-class battleships, but
The 50-caliber 305mm naval gun will also pose a huge threat to the Americans' New York class and battleships. The New York class and the armor of the battleships are only 5 mm thick, and the turrets and bridges are even more
It is only 280 mm. If it is hit by the 305 mm main artillery of the 'Qin-class, battleship or the 'Chinese-class, battleship, battleship, it will be unbearable!" said Navy Minister Zhang Cheng!
"Very good. If there are no other problems, then it's decided. Let the Pacific Fleet be prepared!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. The method proposed by Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng made him very satisfied!
"Your Majesty, there is another problem. The Navy held an exercise at the mouth of the Panama Canal, which may violate Panama's sovereignty. After all, it is Panama's territorial waters!" said Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang!
"A little Panama, I don't have to pay attention to it at all! Anyway, all countries in the world know that we do this mainly target the United States." Wang Yuze said indifferently. In this era, it is simply that a weak country wants to safeguard its so-called sovereignty.
Delusion. Panama was originally just a part of Colombia, but later became independent with the support of the Americans. At that time, China used the Colombian Concession Tumaco as a military base. In addition to providing military assistance to Colombia, another condition was to support Colombia's submission.
Panama!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tang Shaoyi nodded and said nothing. Although doing so would damage the reputation of the empire, the Western powers have always been demonizing the empire, so it doesn't matter!
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is July 18. On this day, the US government held a canal navigation ceremony in Cologne, the eastern estuary of the Panama Canal. In addition to senior officials of the US government, representatives of major families and consortiums in China
In addition, envoys from various countries to the United States were also invited here. In addition, Panamanian President Jose Domingo Germany Ovaldia and senior officials of the Panamanian government also participated in the ceremony!
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a hundred nautical miles away from the estuary of the Panama Canal in the Pacific Ocean, the main battleships of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet are already on the verge of the battleship. After two battleships of the US Navy entered the canal, they will go to the estuary of the canal to conduct a estuary of the canal.
