Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the order of Admiral William 7 Benson, the U.S. fleet began to accelerate, increasing its speed from 12 knots to 18 knots, and quickly sailed towards the Chilean Navy, which was attacking the Brazilian Navy.  The main gun, which had already taken off its gun jacket, also began to rotate, adjusting the shooting angle. The black muzzle pointed diagonally towards the sky, giving people a chilling atmosphere.

    "General, the Americans are accelerating. The speed has increased to 18 knots. Their main guns are already aimed at us!" A staff officer said with a pale face.  The sudden appearance of the American fleet put a lot of pressure on everyone!  The combat power of the 10 American battleships far exceeded that of the Chilean Navy.  If the Chilean Navy could easily ravage the Argentine Navy and the Brazilian Navy before, then the US fleet can easily send them all to the bottom of the sea!

    "General Zhao, what should we do now? Otherwise, let's retreat for now! Anyway, the Brazilian Navy has already sunk one battleship by us, and another one has been severely damaged. The remaining two battleships are no longer a concern.  Come on! When the U.S. fleet leaves, we can just find another opportunity to kill the Brazilian Navy!" said Admiral Jorge, Commander of the Chilean Navy!  He was already scared. Compared to Chile, if it was Brazil, Chile would still have the confidence to fight on.  But facing a big country like the United States, it is like the gap between a child and a giant. All Chileans have no confidence!

    "General Jorge, if we give in this time, then we will never have a chance again! The Americans will intervene now and will definitely intervene in the future. They will not let us destroy the Brazilian Navy. If Brazil cannot be destroyed  Navy, we will not be able to launch attacks on Brazilian coastal cities, and we will not be able to force Brazil to withdraw from the war. This will be a big trouble for Chile! Brazil has a population of more than 20 million, at least it can organize  Millions of troops. No matter how powerful the Chilean Army is, it has no chance of defeating the huge Brazilian Army!" said Major General Zhao Hongcai.

    "But" General Qiao Ge fully agreed with Major General Zhao Hongcai's analysis.  But the problem they are facing now is that with the sudden intervention of the US fleet, they have no way to proceed to the next step!

    "Don't worry, General Qiaoge, I guarantee that the American fleet will not dare to do anything to us. Our reinforcements are already on the way and will be here soon!" Major General Zhao Hongcai said with certainty.

    "Reinforcements? Where do we have any reinforcements?" General Qiao Ge was confused.  But after seeing the smile on Major General Zhao Hongcai's face, he seemed to understand it all at once.

    "General Zhao, is this the Chinese Navy? The fleet sent by the Chinese Navy is nearby?" Admiral Qiao Ge asked with a look of surprise.

    "Well! If the American fleet does not appear, our Chinese navy will not appear either. Now that the Americans have intervened in this war, the Imperial Navy will certainly not sit idly by! This war is between Chile, Argentina and Brazil  war, other non-South American empires will not let them get involved in this war!" Major General Zhao Hongcai said.

    "Haha! Great! With the Chinese Navy taking action, look how arrogant the Americans are! This time, let's see where those Brazilians are going to escape!" Admiral Jorge said excitedly.  Originally, he was ready to give in temporarily under the huge pressure of the US fleet, but he did not expect that the Chinese fleet would actually be in the nearby waters, which once again gave him great confidence.  China is more powerful than the United States, whether it is the army or the navy. This has long been recognized by the world!

    More than 20 nautical miles south of the battle area between the Chilean Navy and the Brazilian Navy, a huge fleet is sailing north.

    This huge fleet consists of ten hill-like battleships as the core, surrounded by five slightly smaller Jianghe-class heavy cruisers, six Ningbo-class light cruisers, and 12 Fuqing-class destroyers.  .  In addition, there are four supply ships and ten merchant ships loaded with various supplies.

    This fleet is the main fleet of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, consisting of four Han-class battleships and six Hanxin-class fast battleships.  The main task of their trip was to cruise the Atlantic Ocean and transport a batch of materials and construction machinery to Guadeloupe, which China acquired in the Caribbean.  The Chinese Navy plans to make Guadeloupe an important stronghold for China in the Caribbean. With the combination of excellent ports and fortresses, once a war breaks out between China and the United States, this place will become an important stronghold!

    As for providing protection for the Chilean Navy and preventing other countries from intervening in this war, it is just a side task.

    "Commander, General Zhao is here to report that the U.S. fleet has appeared, and the Chilean Navy needs us to drive away the U.S. Navy!" Major General Hai Zhengsheng, Chief of Staff of the Home Fleet, reported!

    "Oh? Did the Americans still take action? Humph, leaving two light cruisers and two destroyers to protect the supply shipAll the remaining warships in the fleet are speeding up. It¡¯s time for us to come forward and scare the Americans! Admiral Li Dingxin said!  !

    "Yes, Commander! However, it would be great if the Americans got hot and attacked us!" Major General Hai Zhengsheng couldn't help but think this way.  The Imperial Navy had not fought a war in several years, especially the Home Fleet.  Before the Han class battleships were put into service, the local fleet had only two Baiqi class battlecruisers to support the scene. Among them, the Mengtian battlecruiser was sunk in the Mediterranean naval battle, leaving only the Baiqi class.  Take off, the battleship USS.

    ¡®After the Han-class battleships entered service, except for the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, which each had one as flagships, the remaining four remained in the Home Fleet.  'After the Han Xin class fast battleships entered service, the Navy Ministry even kept six of them in the local fleet, which greatly increased the strength of the local fleet and became the main fleet of the Chinese Navy and a powerful exciting fleet.  Of course, this approach of the Navy Ministry made both the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet a little dissatisfied. Everyone has been looking forward to the Han-class battleships and Hanxin-class fast battleships for a long time!

    "Haha! It depends on whether the Americans have the courage! If they have the courage to do this, of course we don't mind teaching them a lesson!" General Li Dingxin said with a smile.  Whether it is the Han class battleship or the Han Xin class fast battleship, its combat power is much more powerful than the US Navy's battleship. Even the Wyoming class battleship built by the US Navy in imitation of the British Navy's Orion class battleship, although  There are 5 twin-mounted 343mm main guns, one more than the Chinese Navy's Han-class battleships and the Hanxin-class fast battleships.  But in a real fight, in a one-to-one situation, the U.S. Navy's Wyoming-class battleships are definitely no match for the Chinese Navy's Han-class battleships and Hanxin-class fast battleships.  Regardless of armor or speed, the Wyoming-class battleships are at a disadvantage. As for firepower, this is even more so. The artillery delivery capabilities of the Han-class battleships and the Hanxin-class battleships are at least

    ¡®Wyoming class, more than twice the size of a battleship!

    After the order was issued, the Chinese fleet immediately changed its formation.  Four Han-class battleships formed a battle line, and the other six Han-Xin class fast battleships formed a battle line. Two battle lines, under the protection of light cruisers and destroyers, quickly sailed onto the battlefield.  This division into two battle lines can fully demonstrate the combat power of the 'Han class, battleships and the 'Han Xin class, fast battle line.  According to the intelligence of Western countries, the 'Han Xin class' fast battleship is a battlecruiser, not a real battleship.  Only after the actual exchange of fire, they will discover that this class of battlecruiser, with a speed of more than 28 knots, has firepower and armor that is not inferior to the Han class battleship!

    The atmosphere in the battle waters between the Chilean Navy and the Brazilian Navy has become increasingly tense. The U.S. fleet, like a sharp knife, inserted directly between the Brazilian Navy and the Chilean Navy, preventing the Chilean Navy from attacking the Brazilian Navy!  In order to avoid hitting the American fleet, the Chilean navy has stopped bombarding, and the three fleets, forming three battle lines, are sailing towards the enemy.

    The ten battleships of the U.S. Navy all aimed their guns at the Chilean Navy, and they were only eight thousand meters apart.  Although the four battleships of the Chilean Navy all have five triple-mounted 343mm battleships, with a strength gap of 1 to 2.5, they really have no chance of winning.  What's more, the Brazilian Navy also has two battleships. Once a war breaks out, the Chilean Navy will definitely be under siege!

    Everyone on the four battleships of the Chilean Navy is facing a powerful enemy.  The gunners, in particular, were very nervous, fearing that the U.S. Navy would suddenly kill them.  but.  Although the US fleet is powerful, as long as the US fleet dares to fire first, they will fight back desperately!

    "Tell the Chileans to leave immediately! Otherwise, this will be regarded as a provocation to the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Navy will let the Chileans know how powerful the U.S. Navy is!" Admiral William 7 Benson said

    ¡®Wyoming class, an order has been issued from the battleship!

    However, Chile did not make any response after receiving the warning telegram.  After Admiral Georg learned that the Chinese fleet was coming, he became more confident and no longer took the U.S. Navy seriously!

    After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Chilean Navy has not yet responded, which made Admiral William 7 Benson very angry. He felt that he had been despised by the Chileans!

    ¡°Every ship prepares to launch warning shots at the Chileans!¡± Admiral William 7 Benson ordered.

    At this time, the siren suddenly rang on the battleship Wyoming.

    "General, a huge fleet has appeared in the south, flying the flag of the Chinese Navy!" a staff officer reported in a panic!
