    At 2:20 pm on September 28, the Hawaiian Islands, the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet base Pearl Harbor.

    "Clang!" A crisp sound sounded in the fleet commander's office.  At this time, Marshal Li Dingxin, commander of the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet, was furious.  After the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet moved to the Eastern Pacific, the Pacific Fleet also came under the command of Admiral Li Dingxin.  However, at this moment, Navy Marshal Li Dingxin was like a furious lion.  Lying on the ground was the body of his most beloved teacup, now in pieces.

    "What on earth did those guys do? Seven transport ships were sunk, and more than two hundred tanks and armored vehicles were lost as well as a large number of spare parts. There were also thousands of tons of oil. You know what this will do to the situation in the Mexican battlefield  How much impact will it have? Originally, we could immediately launch an attack on northern Mexico, and even invade the United States in one fell swoop. But now, we have to stop the attack and switch to defense! How much time will this waste? How much will it cost us?  The price?" Marshal Li Dingxin roared angrily.  After receiving the telegram from the heavy cruiser "Minjiang," Admiral Li Dingxin immediately exploded.  The Americans blew up the Panama Canal, causing the main force of the navy to go to war. It has been several months, but there has been no major battle. This has already made him feel angry.  Now that something like this has happened, how can he explain it to the country?  You know, His Majesty the Emperor has been paying attention to the Mexican battlefield.  If problems arise on the Mexican battlefield due to naval reasons, then they will have to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor.

    "Commander, we were negligent this time. No one thought that the Americans would be so ruthless and attack our maritime transportation lines in this way!" said Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng, chief of staff of the Home Fleet.  Originally, everyone thought that the Americans were afraid of being beaten, and the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet was also blocked in the port and became a permanent fleet.  But I didn't expect that the US Navy's West Coast Fleet would dare to send a large number of warships to the Pacific to attack China's maritime transportation lines, and also caused great losses to China.

    "Marshal! We will immediately start destroying these American warships. The U.S. West Coast Fleet only has a few light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, and most of them have low performance. There is no problem at all if we want to destroy these warships!" Pacific Ocean!  Fleet Commander Gao Yihai said with a blushing face.  Escorting transport convoys is mainly the task of the Pacific Fleet.  But now, such a situation has arisen. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to question the crime, he will probably bear the brunt.

    "From now on, all warships will be sent out to search for U.S. warships. Once a U.S. warship is discovered, regardless of whether they are flying the American flag or the flag of other countries, they will all be sunk! In addition, for subsequent transport ships  The navy will increase its escort capabilities to prevent such incidents from happening again," said Navy Marshal Li Dingxin.  After getting angry, his mood finally calmed down.  Getting angry doesn't solve the problem, what we need to do now is how to solve these problems.

    "Marshal! If U.S. warships have been flying the flags of other countries, do we also have to launch an attack? Attacking warships of neutral countries will cause diplomatic conflicts!" Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai, chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet, said with some worry.

    "We can handle it flexibly. Once we encounter a warship from a neutral country, we can invite them to Hawaii. After investigating their identity, we can let them leave. If you don't dare to come to Hawaii, it proves that you have something evil in your heart. Then attack them directly.  Sink!" said Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng, Chief of Staff of the Home Fleet.  The entire East Pacific Ocean has become a war zone. The presence of neutral warships in this sea area is inherently suspicious.

    "Yes! That's it! In addition, those merchant ships are also handled in the same way. Now that the United States is under our blockade, there is no such thing as maritime trade at all. These merchant ships flying the flags of neutral countries are probably providing supplies to the U.S. Navy  For supplies. If there is resistance, they will be sunk! I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Marshal Li Dingxin's eyes.  In order to ensure the safety of the Chinese Navy's maritime transportation lines, the Chinese Navy can only do this.  This will certainly cause protests from some neutral countries.  However, with China's current national strength, there is absolutely no need to care.  Anyway, apart from a few words of protest, these neutral countries will not take any other substantive actions.  A few words of protest will not make you lose a piece of meat!

    After that, Chinese Navy warships patrolled the entire East Pacific. Once they discovered warships or merchant ships from other countries, they immediately rushed to them and directly asked these warships or merchant ships to go to Hawaii for investigation to identify their identities.  If these warships or merchant ships refuse, they will be sunk directly.  This method made many U.S. Navy warships unable to hide, and they were found and then sunk one after another.  !

    Of course, there are alsoSome incidents of sinking warships and merchant ships that actually belonged to neutral countries aroused protests from these countries.  However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China firmly stated that any security problems caused by these warships and merchant ships from neutral countries in warring waters are caused by themselves.  In addition, China also doubts whether these countries are colluding with the United States. If so, then these countries must be prepared to withstand China's wrath.  The tough stance of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs made these neutral countries very angry.  But they have no choice but to really declare war on China!  China is now on the battlefield, and the Americans are looking for teeth to fight against. It is even more difficult to deal with these neutral effects.  Therefore, they can only choose to swallow their anger.  But even so, the threat to China's maritime transportation lines has not been completely resolved.  The U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet continues to dispatch warships and submarines to sneak out of the San Diego military port and launch attacks on China's maritime transportation lines.  These U.S. warships are fearless in their approach and will attack Chinese transport ships even if they suffer huge blows.  In particular, U.S. Navy submarines will often be sunk by incoming Chinese Navy warships after launching torpedoes. However, this mutual destruction strategy still caused great losses to China's maritime transportation lines.  Even if the Chinese Navy strengthens its protection of transportation lines, there is always a gap in the air, and Americans will still often take advantage of it.

    Maritime transportation lines were attacked and several transport ships were sunk. Of course, it was impossible to hide such a major event from the Emperor Wang Yuze.  On the evening of April 28, Wang Yuze summoned Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff, and Zhang Cheng, Minister of Navy, at the palace to inquire about the relevant situation.

    "Your Majesty, this time it was our navy's negligence that caused the sea transportation line to be hit. The army's offensive in the Mexican battlefield had to be temporarily stopped! I beg your Majesty to convict you!" Navy Minister Zhang Chengcheng said in fear.

    "The Navy's negligence has caused great losses to the Mexican front line. As the Minister of the Navy, you also have a certain responsibility. Donate all your salary this year to support the families of the soldiers who died on the front line! In addition, the Home Fleet and  The commanders of the Pacific Fleet have also come up with corresponding punishment plans!" Wang Yuze said coldly.  The transportation line was attacked, forcing the Mexican battlefield to give up an easy victory and turn to defense, which made him very angry.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said quickly.  He only donated more than half a year's salary, which was nothing to him.  Each of the important ministers of the empire has a big family and a big business, and their salary is only a drop in the bucket.

    "Your Majesty. Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of the Army, called. Before the transportation line is restored to smooth flow, our army's main combat goal will be to annihilate the surrounded U.S. troops. Then rest and recuperate. In this battle, the armored forces broke out with extremely strong  combat effectiveness. But after the battle, the losses were also huge. Most of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed due to malfunctions. It is necessary to wait until the armored forces regain their combat effectiveness before they can launch an attack on northern Mexico!" Cai, Chief of General Staff  Yun said.

    "Let's proceed according to Marshal Zhao Bowen's plan! Next, we must fight steadily in the Mexican battlefield, push the front to northern Mexico, and even advance into the United States! Completely destroy the United States!" Wang Yuze said, this is also what China is doing  The first target in this war!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Cai Yun nodded.  After destroying the United States, China will take action against the other Allied Powers. This is a plan that has already been drawn up.

    "Master Zhang. The Navy Ministry can try to build a warship specially used to escort merchant ships or transport ships. This kind of warship does not need to be too big, nor does it need to have powerful firepower. But it must be high-speed and have good anti-submarine capabilities.  capabilities. American submarines have poor performance and are not a great threat to us. However, don¡¯t forget that we are likely to face the Germans in the future. The performance of German submarines is much higher than that of American submarines.  And the tactics are much more advanced than those of the Americans. We must prepare early!" Wang Yuze said.  Although in this era, the Chinese Navy took the lead in using submarines in actual combat.  However, after the German Navy obtained relevant technologies from China, it has become more capable than others.  After the outbreak of the war, German Navy submarines attacked Allied merchant ships in the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, causing huge losses to the Allied Powers.  From a long-term perspective, the Chinese Navy also needs a specialized frigate, preferably an anti-submarine frigate!
