Looking at another mountain showing signs of smoke and approaching the city, American officers and men vowed to avenge their compatriots, but their commander, General Robert Cüneyt, was a little worried at this time. The Navy War Department asked his fleet to arrive in Panama before March 23rd, when the Atlantic fleet would venture from Norfolk to meet the Pacific fleet. However, it would take nearly 10 days to get to Panama even if it took the route near the Mexican coast for 12 days. In General Cüneyt’s view, the route was safer, but it would take a day to reach Panama in the Pacific Ocean far from the Mexican coast.
After secretly informing Washington of his thoughts, General Cüneyt silently watched the fleet receiving supplies at sea on the bridge. Before 192o, American ships sailed from the west coast of the United States to Panama without the need for route selection, and both warships and merchant ships were able to sail on the west coast of Mexico and whether it violated Mexico’s territorial waters. It didn’t matter, just feel convenient and comfortable.
However, now Mexico’s territorial waters are not only within the attack range of German six-base aircraft, but also the number of ominous German submarines. Since the war broke out, American merchant ships have given up South American trade and are still free to leave the port. Most of the merchant ships are taking the US-Canada route or the Pacific route to declare war on the United States on the same day. When the United States only has overseas trade routes, the US-Russia trade will be in jeopardy once the Japanese navy North Aleutian Islands.
Four hours later, I saw that the fleet supply was about to be completed, but at this time, the evil German plane once again appeared in the distant sky! The black bomber group seems to be preparing to bomb Los Angeles or San Francisco, and one of them turned around and flew this way behind the US Pacific Fleet at present.
Cüneyt gritted his teeth and ordered the fighter planes of the "Langley" and "Yorktown" to take off and told the pilots that it was necessary to shoot down all those hateful German bombers. The Americans did not expect that as more and more aviation wings were transferred from Germany to North America to carry out bombing, the dd bombers in Dornier were escorted by long-range fighters.
In such an accidental situation, the German 6-base fighter plane was exhibited by the US Navy for the first time. Now, after the American fighter plane took off from the aircraft carrier, Dornier’s 44 heavy bombers climbed one after another. 15 German Black Hawk dd bravely greeted 24 American f4, and in terms of performance and quantity, the US naval air force was superior to the US 6-army air force. For example, the f4 fighter plane made by Boeing Company was equipped with 9o in the navy, while f2a was equipped with 6o two fighter planes and 6-army type. When the war broke out, there were only 75 and 45 aircraft in the six armies. When the pilots chose the US Navy, they always took precedence over the US Army. Even when they competed for the military budget, the Navy was always in the wind, which made the Sixth Army Nai the most important airship project before the war, and was even taken over by the Admiralty.
It is precisely for these reasons that the US government still did not give up its resistance when the Sixth Army was defeated. Because their powerful two-ocean fleet was still intact and defeated the German fleet in the naval battle, the war situation would reverse with the change of hands in Haiti. The German and Mexican troops invading the southern United States would also face difficulties due to the lack of logistics and follow-up troops, and it would no longer be an extravagant hope for the US military to gather forces in the navy to counterattack and win the war.
When the engines of the fighter planes of both sides sounded dull, the sailors and sailors stopped their work one after another, and looked up and saw two groups of fighters whose numbers and volumes were inversely proportional to each other. The silver-gray fighter plane rushed to the other side in a high position, and the fire was crisp and loud at a distance of more than 1ooo. Four white American fighters were shelled by the plane. These unlucky guys either dragged white smoke down or simply disintegrated in the middle. This scene could not help but make the American officers and men of the ship feel anxious.
Seeing that the other side’s firepower was strong, the remnants were scattered around, and the German fighters ended their first shooting at the right time. The two sides immediately entered a dogfight. In the larger firepower of the "Black Hawk dd" body, the flexibility of the front and rear hemispheres was 39 km, which was inferior to that of a single-wing single fighter. F4b is still equipped with dual machine guns popular in Europe, and its maneuverability is 335km when the position of the aircraft is the highest. At the same time, American fighters are outstanding, but there is almost no armored defense. Although the self-enclosed fuel tank can be used for martyrdom to a certain extent, there is no suspense for the fragile body to get hit by the 20 mm machine gun field.
Ten minutes is a short and long time for American officers and men to watch the battle. Today, the protagonist is obviously the beautiful tactics of pilots from both sides, which attracts people to cheer again and again. Whenever American planes hit or graze the target crowd, there will always be a "Oh" or "Oh" sound. The technology of American naval pilots is respectable. The problem lies in the weak firepower of their fighter planes. For American pilots who have armored protection and dual-motive German "Black Hawk dd" long-range fighters, We can always hit the other side instead of shooting it down, and see that the number and flexibility of the other side are superior. Instead of fighting, the German pilots left the battlefield with three injured fighters and lost nine ships. The US naval air force can also retreat when it has the advantage.
After the war, Robert Cüneyt hastily ended the sea supply and then led the fleet south to wait for him. It will be a long and dangerous route with uncertain future.
Once again, outside San Francisco harbor, the intelligence of the American fleet soon reached the high command in Berlin. The navy generals were more convinced that the American Pacific fleet would take the Panama Canal, which was the fastest way for them to enter the Atlantic Ocean. So on the one hand, the navy ordered the 6-project troops to set up a military airport in Cuba as soon as possible, on the other hand, the German Pacific submarine formation stationed on the west coast of Mexico waited for an opportunity to attack the South American Pacific fleet. Every time an American warship was sunk or injured, the German Atlantic fleet had an extra chance of winning.
Tu Mei Chapter ninety-four The prelude to the century naval battle.
After entering the country, their hearts are in their own hearts. The White House, Berlin and Olaf Palace are all busy, but the atmosphere behind the busy scene is completely different.
In the words of American President Warren Harding, "We Germans, with vast land, rich resources, large industries and a population of 100 million, are just repeating the mistakes of the British!"
Just because the German bombs didn’t fall in Washington doesn’t mean it’s sunny in Washington. America is rich in war resources, but is it better than half of Europe plus one Africa plus half of Southeast Asia?
Warren Harding seems to have forgotten that his opponent has successively annexed Poland, the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia, the Principality of Caniola, the Principality of Carinthia, the Principality of Salzburg and Austria, and the population of the country has risen to more than 10,000 square kilometers. These data may not be strong enough. Then think about the more than 500 million people and 24,000 square kilometers of land in German Africa and German India, which are waiting for resources. Obviously, the so-called superiority of the United States is obvious!
Of course, the comparison of power can’t condemn Americans to death. Warren Harding and his generals defeated the German navy in vain, so the Atlantic Ocean will become an obstacle for the Germans to overcome. Although the US military strength can’t attack German soil across the ocean at present, the situation of Major General War is in favor of the United States.
Because of this, Washington keeps an eye on the position of the US Pacific Fleet all the time, and more than 2oo ships, large and small, are also ready to set sail at any time. When the time is right, they will implement the great action plan of "Glory for Two Seas".
Just when the naval battle of the century was expected to come, the Pacific fleet commanded by General Robert Cüneyt in the Pacific Ocean near the Americas was suffering from the double blow of the hot opponents, and arrived in Panama before the request of Washington. His fleet had to sail off the coast of Mexico for a long time, and the sun was blazing on the sea. Although the sailors kept scouring the deck, the firemen in the boiler room and engine room were still suffering from heat stroke ―― the seas of various countries in the 1910s. There are some coal-fired boilers in the military capital ships, such as Delaware-class, Wyoming-class and German King-class before undergoing major modification. As we all know, coal-fired boilers need a stoker to shovel coal constantly. Therefore, people who built "Wyoming", "Arkansas", "new york" and "Texas" in the old days of the US Pacific Fleet were continuously transported to the medical room for treatment, and later people were replenished. Over time, these warships had to mobilize sailors from other posts to steam boilers.
The fuel boilers of other warships in the fleet are in a better situation, but they have to face the German army’s sea surface. Those sailors who are more cruel than the German hunters are in the observation posts on both sides of the warships. Sailors must be very vigilant and watch the surrounding sea surface. Because sometimes several torpedoes will pop up. Once a warship is torpedoed, other warships will have to take risks to rescue the drowning people. The loss may continue to expand. No one wants the name of his warship to be written in the record book of German ace captains.
Despite the strict precautions and patrol, the American fleet suffered a lot from the attack of German six-base fighter jets and dive bombers flying from Mexico on March 13th. After a fierce war, the Mississippi was slightly injured and two destroyers were seriously injured. In addition, the aircraft carriers Langley and Yorktown each lost nearly 20 aircraft. At this time, the number of aircraft in the whole fleet has dropped to 39, fearing that the German army would attack the fleet commander again. General Robert Cüneyt, the official, was forced to make the fleet sail away from the coast for another 100 nautical miles. Although it could avoid the attack of German 6-base fighters and dive bombers, it also increased the time spent on the voyage of the American fleet.
Then, on March 15th, 16th and 17th, for three consecutive days, this American Pacific fleet was attacked by German submarines one after another. The cruiser Quincy was injured and the accompanying transport ship Charette sank. "Chevalier" and "Klahan" were sunk directly, and the main battleship "Colorado" was the most feared by the Americans. If this torpedo was fired from a submarine 2ooo yards away, it would be the biggest burden of the fleet, even if it didn’t sink. In the eyes of the fleet commander Robert Cüneyt and the naval war generals, every capital ship is now an important weight to win the naval battle. You should know that the German navy.
"Exclusive words shall not be transcribed without consent. Please visit the latest and fastest chapters! When the Z-shaped anti-submarine route consumed Robert Cüneyt again, he didn’t bring this exhausted fleet to Panama until July 27th and sent it to Washington. His fleet needed to rest in Panama Port for two days, but on this afternoon, German heavy bombers flew in from Mexico and Guatemala and bombed Panama Port violently. The battleship Idaho was hit by two incendiary bombs and burst into fire. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the key parts. In addition, a light cruiser and three cargo ships were bombed. The sudden incident of damage directly changed General Cüneyt’s decision, and Washington was also worried that the Germans would bomb the ships sailing in the canal and blocked the navigation channel, so it ordered the Pacific fleet to pass through the Panama Canal at night 2.
Berlin, Germany
Since the war, many senior generals and important government officials have come in and out of Olaf Palace every day. It seems that the gray atmosphere of the White House is busier than that of the White House. Compared with here, it is orderly and calm. If you don’t go to the high command, you don’t want to interfere too much with the generals’ work. 6. The secretary of the navy or their senior staff will come to the palace to report the situation every day and afternoon. Since the war, German government officials, especially foreign ministry personnel, are also busy, but they will not confuse their respective responsibilities. Just like saying that the battlefield affairs are left to the soldiers to take care of
In the beautiful back garden of the palace, the tree-lined girl read with a small mouth in her hand, which was not particularly standard.
"I awake light-hearted this morning of spring everywhere round me the singing of birds! Night comes … "
"It’s raining in and I wonder how many blossoms were broken at night!"
Hearing the sudden sound behind her, the little girl hurriedly turned around. Just now, she was too serious about her father coming from a distance.
"Father, you’re here! You just sounded great, and there is no difference in a word! " The little girl is very worship said
Chen Tian smiled and sat next to her, which was a piece of cake for him, although not only did the potential energy not disappear with the passage of time for many years.
"My little princess listened to your Chinese teacher and said that you made rapid progress during this period! And Anderes also told me that you are going to travel to China if you want to learn Chinese well. Really? "
"That little rascal told him not to talk nonsense!" The little princess was a little angry and pouted.
"Can you tell me why you are so interested in China?"
"Er … Father, you have to promise me not to be angry before I say it!"
Look at Sasha’s expression and tone seriously. Chentian nodded seriously.
"I have read the diary of my mother’s former days …" Speaking of which, all the childishness and calmness in Sasha’s eyes disappeared and replaced by a kind of sadness brought by nostalgia.
"So that’s it!" Chen Tian’s tone was much lower. He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the little princess’s face, and soon felt that the delicate skin was moist with some liquid.
As little Sasha grew up, now she inherited her mother’s kindness and talent in language and music, and with that somewhat similar face, it can’t help but make people feel that the admirable queen of the German Empire has been reborn here.
"That experience is indeed the most profound memory in the life of your mother and me!" What Chen Tian said was that when they lived in Qingdao for half a year, they also had the experience of seeing and hearing in Lushun, and these Lisa must have been written in their diary.
Sasha was in tears but didn’t sob for a long time. She looked up and asked Chentian.
"Japanese people are very, very bad, aren’t they? Why can there be such a barbaric, shameful and brutal nation in the world? "
Hesitated for a moment, Chen Tian told her, "That is the only nation in the world, and one should never be in the nation! They are cruel and militant, killing people and killing people. They are armed with advanced weapons but full of brains and savagery! "
It is such a nation that shamelessly let the US Pacific Fleet go after the German-American war, and it just took the Philippines and Hawaii without a shot, waiting to reap the benefits. However, when the German-American war was in full swing, they even sent more troops to North Korea and Northeast China regardless of the German-Japanese-Russian treaty, and their sinister intentions were well known!
"What does the emperor want them to be in this world?" Sasha is very simple to ask
"Because the emperor wants us to see what evil is and justice will defeat evil sooner or later!" Chen Tian clenched his fist. At this time, he thought of Renee and the other world.
Shouldn’t Germany, the "world gendarmerie", do something?
However, the attendant’s interference soon brought Chen Tian’s father and daughter back to reality and talked about everything before defeating the Americans!
"Marshal Boer and General seeckt are here!"
Although I hate to interrupt the sincere conversation between Chen Tian and his daughter, von Jonah Wright’s military intelligence is more important than many things
"Invite them to their rooms!" Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Sasha, "My little princess, one day you will see a beautiful, profound and world-famous China, I promise!"
Sasha nodded seriously.
When Chentian entered the room, Bohr and seeckt looked forward to it from the sand.
"It’s a little slow, but they arrived after all!"
Bohr was the first to say
"They" means not only that the US Pacific Fleet just arrived in Panama Port, but also that the backup fleet composed of the main German North Sea Fleet, an Atlantic Fleet and a British Fleet arrived in Cuban waters more than ten hours ago. When the Americans were actively planning the "Glory of the Two Seas", the fleet in Marshal Schell’s hand also quietly expanded, adding the backup fleet led by hippel, which has 16 battleships, 6 battle cruiser and 9 main aircraft carriers.
"It’s positions! It’s a pity that we can’t see the biggest naval battle in the steel age with our own eyes! " Marshal Bohr, secretary of the navy and chief of staff of the navy, said with some regret
"No, we are all witnesses to this great naval battle!" Chen Tian calmly said, as usual, little Anderes is still on his left.
"It’s a pity that the preparations left for us are not sufficient. At present, we have only established two temporary airports in Cuba that can be put into battle at any time. There are two fighter squadrons, two dive bomber squadrons and a torpedo bomber squadron! Three more days. Three more days! This number will double! " Seeckt, Minister of Military Affairs and Chief of General Staff of the Army, belongs to the army, so he also plays an important role in the upcoming naval battle.
