Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The U.S. Navy now has 30 battleships and 10 battlecruisers. Although the total number is similar to that of the Chinese Navy, it is two more than the expedition fleet that the Chinese Navy is preparing to dispatch to the Atlantic Ocean.  Even without the support of the British Navy, U.S. Navy Secretary Meyer believes that the U.S. Navy has enough strength to defeat the Chinese Navy and achieve victory this time, thus avenging its previous humiliation!  In the eyes of many senior officials of the U.S. Navy, the Chinese are completely too arrogant. Their contempt for the U.S. Navy is simply seeking death!  On the battlefield, the U.S. Navy will make the Chinese Navy pay a heavy price for their arrogance!

    "However, the capital ships of the Chinese expeditionary fleet seem to be the most cutting-edge Chinese battleships. Although our fleet is large in number, the 'Florida-class' battleships and those previously in service are all equipped with 305 mm caliber weapons.  Naval guns may not necessarily be able to penetrate the armor of the Chinese new battleships!" Secretary of State William James Bryan put down the information in his hand and raised his own question. Although the United States has strong industrial strength, they have to admit it.  , in terms of military industry, there is still a certain gap between the United States and China. When China was still poor, it received support from Germany and obtained a large amount of industrial technology from Germany, which made China's military industry far ahead.  Although the number of the Chinese Navy's battleships is small in front of the United States, in terms of performance, they are probably much better than the U.S. Navy's battleships. Take the most powerful 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships, for example, which can defeat the Chinese.  'Tang class' battleship?  I¡¯m afraid many people don¡¯t have absolute confidence in their hearts!

    "Please rest assured, Secretary of State, although our Connecticut-class battleships, Mississippi-class battleships, South Carolina-class battleships, Delaware-class battleships and Florida-class battleships all carry 305 mm main guns.  However, even excluding these classes of battleships, we still have 17 new battleships, while the Chinese only have 4 'Tang-class' battleships and 4 'Han-class' battleships. We have more than twice the advantage! In battlecruisers  Above, the Chinese have 6 'Hanxin-class' battleships and 1 'Baiqi-class' battleship. Although we don't know the performance of the Chinese 'Hanxin-class' battlecruisers, we have a total of three poles and ten battlecruisers.  It should not be much worse than them! In addition, we also have 13 battleships equipped with 305mm main guns to assist us. There will definitely be no suspense in defeating the Chinese Navy!" Navy Secretary Meyer explained that in his opinion,  If they are still defeated despite having such a huge advantage, then the officers and soldiers of the US Navy should jump to kill them one by one!

    "So, do you have any questions now?" Commander Theodore Ross looked at everyone, and then said that he was quite satisfied with Secretary of the Navy Meyer's answer to the expedition sent by the Chinese to the Atlantic.  The fleet seems to be too weak, or the Chinese are too arrogant. They think they can defeat the U.S. Navy with more than a dozen advanced warships. The U.S. Navy will let them know this time that those who underestimate them will pay a heavy price.  !

    "Your Excellency, although our naval capital ships already have an absolute advantage in number compared with the expedition fleet dispatched by the Chinese Navy, I think we should be more cautious. During the Beihai voyage at the end of May and early June last year,  We sent a fleet to help the British. The British were able to win the Northern Sea Navigation and cripple the Germans. This was inseparable from our help. This time, we are about to have a decisive battle with the Chinese. Due to emotions and reasons, the British also  It¡¯s time to send the main fleet to support us!¡± Vice President Woodrow Wilson said. During the last voyage to the Northern Sea, the U.S. Navy dispatched 8 of the most powerful battleships. Although during the voyage, none of these battleships were sunk, but  Several ships have also been severely damaged. Now that the United States is about to have a decisive battle with the powerful China, it seems a bit unreasonable if the United Kingdom does not send reinforcements to join the US Navy in a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy!

    "That's right, your Excellency, President, dealing with the evil China is not just the task of us in the United States, but the task of all the Allied member states. In order to resist the Chinese attack, we have suffered heavy losses in this decisive battle with the Chinese navy. The British  People must send a powerful fleet to participate!" Secretary of State Bryan said. The United States has been almost alone in resisting China's attack. For this reason, they have paid millions of military casualties, and the US Navy's West Coast Fleet has also been completely destroyed.  The army was wiped out. Such heavy losses have already damaged the United States. If the British want to stand by and let the United States and China fight to the death, this is absolutely unacceptable to the U.S. government. After all, the United States had previously  What they were thinking about was how to weaken the country. Now, after the U.S. government discovered that the expedition fleet dispatched by the Chinese Navy was not strong, their thoughts have become vivid. If they can win at the minimum cost and maintain it until the war,  at the end of warWhen the benefits are distributed after the war, the United States has a strong military strength to guarantee that it will definitely be able to get more!

    President Theodore Ross nodded subconsciously. Now the entire Allied Powers are closely united in response to the attacks of the Allied Powers and China. The two sides have conducted in-depth exchanges on science and technology and military affairs. However, if the Allied Powers gain the upper hand in the war,  If we win, in order to obtain more benefits, the relations between countries will definitely be greatly affected. By that time, whoever punches will be able to share more benefits. There will be no eternal peace between countries.  Allies will only have eternal interests!  The United States has always been looked down upon by the European continent. Those arrogant Europeans always regard the United States as an upstart and a place where prisoners are exiled. Even though the industrial strength of the United States has surpassed the United Kingdom and become the world's number one, this is not the case.  The main reason for any changes is that the military strength of the United States is too weak. Whether it is the army or the navy, it is far from comparable to Europe. However, with the help of this war, the United States obtained quite a lot of technology from the United Kingdom.  , both the army and the navy have made great progress. The number of battleships in the U.S. Navy now even exceeds that of the British Navy. After the war, shouldn't the United States gain more benefits, have a higher status, and even replace the British Navy?  Will Britain become the new world hegemon?

    Thinking of this, President Theodore Ross's heart became hot. As the president of the United States, he certainly believed that the United States could become the world's most powerful country in the future. Of course, although the United States is still in decline on the battlefield, this does not prevent it.  The U.S. government is starting to make these preparations!  Otherwise, if you take action later, it will be too late!

    "Unless what your Excellency the Vice President said is true, dealing with the evil Chinese is a matter for all the Allied Powers! It should not be only our responsibility in the United States. Besides, we also helped the British in the last Beihai voyage, and this time they are also counterattacking.  It¡¯s time to come and assist us! Your Excellency, Secretary of State, you ask our ambassador to the United Kingdom to visit Prime Minister Asquith and express the opinions of our U.S. government to him!¡± President Theodore Ross said that since we must preserve the United States to the greatest extent  strength, then, it is undoubtedly the best way to bring the British Navy to jointly deal with the Chinese. This can also achieve the purpose of consuming the British Navy's strength. After all, whether the U.S. Navy is compared with the Chinese Navy or the British Navy  , are all at a disadvantage. In terms of the quality of the battleships, the U.S. Navy's capital ships cannot be compared with the Chinese Navy, and the quality of its officers and soldiers cannot be compared with the British Navy. If the Americans want to seek world hegemony, there is still  Quite a long way to go!

    U.S. Navy Secretary Meyer opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. When the president, vice president, and secretary of state already agreed, if he raised objections again, he would be scolding himself. Even so, everyone in the U.S. Navy  It is very rare that he can rely on his own strength to teach the Chinese a lesson and avenge his shame. However, he is not a fool. From the dialogue with Theodore Ross and others, he has already understood what they mean.  Although the U.S. Navy must win this time's voyage, it must also preserve its strength as much as possible in order to prepare for the post-war layout. Only in this way will it be more in line with the interests of the United States!

    "Yes, Your Excellency, I will contact the U.S. Ambassador in London after the meeting!" Secretary of State Bryan said. They seem to be happy too early. The United States is still in the midst of China's fierce attack and is at an extreme disadvantage.  Among them, it seems too early to plan how to occupy a favorable position after the war is won. However, this is understandable. Countries are still close allies one moment, but they fall out the next moment.  Recognizing people is also Chen. In the final analysis, all this is for the benefit of the respective countries!  This is true between the Allies, and it is also true between the Allies!

    "Everyone, now we have reached the most critical moment for the United States. What will be the future of our United States? Or is there a future? This is the next performance of the Navy! I believe God will bless us and defeat the evil Chinese.  Yes!" President Theodore Ross waved his fist and said with full fighting spirit!  rs(
