    £®  Military Minister Zhang Cheng's car drove out from the Admiralty Department and headed straight for the palace.  At the same time, the General Staff and the Prime Minister's Office, which were notified by the Navy Ministry, were also in a state of panic.  After Chief of General Staff Cai Yun and Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang learned that the naval expedition fleet had achieved a decisive victory, they immediately rushed to the palace.  At the same time, there was a burst of cheers from the General Staff Headquarters and the Prime Minister's Office.  Everyone knows what this victory of the expedition fleet means to the empire.  The Empire will most likely defeat the United States in the next few months and completely end the North American War.  At that time, the empire will no longer have to worry about fighting on two fronts, and can mobilize the empire's main forces to the European battlefield to deal with future crises!

    The Admiralty Department is a little far away from the palace, so when the car of Navy Minister Zhang Cheng arrived at Xinhua Palace, General Staff Cai Yun and Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang also arrived.  After the three of them greeted each other, they entered the palace together!

    The Prime Minister, the Chief of General Staff and the Lord of the Navy came together. This was a big deal.  The guards on duty immediately notified the palace and also notified the chief guard Wu Hao.  After Wu Hao learned about it, he asked Wang Yuze, the ruling emperor, to greet the three of them!

    When Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Chief of General Staff Cai Yun and Navy Minister Zhang Cheng came to Wang Yuze's study, it was already half past nine in the morning!  After Wang Yuze learned about the three people's visit, he also knew that there must be something important to report to him.  So I waited for them in the study room!

    "See your Majesty!" The three of them saluted Wang Yuze together.  Although the empire has abolished cumbersome etiquette, it is still necessary to salute His Majesty when meeting the emperor.

    It¡¯s just that the kneeling ceremony was changed to bowing!

    "Please sit down quickly! You guys came to see me together today. Did something big happen?" Wang Yuze asked, looking at the three of them.

    "Haha! Your Majesty, something big has indeed happened! It's just a good thing! It's up to Mr. Zhang to report it to Your Majesty!" Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said with a smile.  Since it was the navy's victory this time, there was no need for him to steal the limelight from Navy Minister Zhang Cheng!

    "What about the navy? Is there any news about our decisive battle with the US-British combined fleet? How could it be so fast?" Wang Yuze was shocked.  But as soon as he saw the smile on the face of Navy Minister Zhang Chengshi, he breathed a sigh of relief.  After all, if it was bad news, Navy Minister Zhang Chengcheng would not be smiling like this, he would definitely be livid!

    "Your Majesty, I just received a telegram from Marshal Li Dingxin. The decisive battle between the Naval Expeditionary Fleet and the US-British Combined Fleet has ended. The Imperial Navy Expeditionary Fleet has achieved an absolute victory! In this decisive battle, the Imperial Navy carrier-based aircraft  Troops and naval capital ships sank a total of 12 US Navy battleships, 7 battlecruisers, captured 18 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 32 Philadelphia class heavy cruisers, and 50 Omaha class light cruisers.  and 60 destroyers. Sunk 1 battleship of the British Navy and captured 5 battleships, 6 'Edinburgh class' heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers and 14 destroyers. Now the naval expeditionary fleet is undergoing rest and will continue after the rest  Head north and attack the coastal cities on the east coast of the United States!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said!

    "What? The battle was really over so quickly? And such a great victory was achieved?" Emperor Wang Yuze also couldn't believe that the battle was over so quickly and such a glorious victory was achieved!  You know, the combined fleet of the US and British navies has 46 battleships. The Chinese navy easily sank 20 enemy battleships and captured 26 battleships as well as a large number of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers.  This victory comes too easily!

    "Your Majesty, I initially did not believe that the expedition fleet could achieve such a glorious victory. But I have checked with the expedition fleet! We have indeed won this decisive battle at sea!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said, patting his chest!

    Zhang Cheng¡¯s guarantee made Wang Yuze completely relieved. He knew that although it was a bit unbelievable, the naval expedition fleet had indeed won this decisive naval battle!

    "What about our losses?" Wang Yuze asked.  He was not sure how much it would cost the Imperial Navy to win this naval battle after the aircraft carrier-based air force launched an attack.

    "Your Majesty, the losses of the Imperial Navy are very slight! The carrier-based aircraft force lost 1 aircraft, including 1 fighter, 6 torpedo attack aircraft and 1 dive bomber. 6 pilots were killed. The other pilots have been rescued.  In terms of battleships, six 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships suffered some minor damage, but it did not affect the battle! In addition, one light cruiser and three light cruisers were severely damaged, and only one destroyer was sunk!" Secretary of the Navy  Zhang Cheng reported!

    "So small? So we won this naval battle at a small cost! Great! Prime Minister, the cabinet is going to hold a press conference. We are going to?The whole world declares our victory!  "Wang Yuze said excitedly! It was a bit unexpected for him to achieve such a big victory with such a small loss. But it also made him very satisfied, especially the captured warships, which will undoubtedly increase the strength of the Chinese navy.  Go to another level. At least after the subsequent five Wuyue-class aircraft carriers enter service, the Imperial Navy will have enough escort warships!

    "Okay, Your Majesty, I will hold a press conference after returning to the Prime Minister's Office!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang nodded!

    "Your Majesty, will this make other countries more wary of us?" Chief of General Staff Cai Yun said with some worry.  If the news of the Chinese Navy's victory in this naval battle is revealed, it will definitely have a huge impact around the world.  By then, the West will definitely be more wary of China, which will also be very detrimental to the empire's future wars.

    "Don't be afraid! After the Imperial Navy won this naval battle, it is inevitable that the Empire will win this world war! Even if the Germans now turn to the Allies, it will be the same. The entire Western world united can no longer stop the Empire  We are moving forward! I think the people of the empire have been looking forward to this victory, and they will definitely cheer for the victory of the imperial navy!" Wang Yuze said.  Now, it¡¯s time for China to show off its military muscles!  The victory of this naval battle completely established the victory of the North American War.  Even if the United States has not been wiped out yet, they can only survive!  Soon, China's army, navy and air force will defeat the United States.  By then, China's power will reach its peak.  Even if the entire Western world unites, China will not be afraid of them!  Moreover, Wang Yuze believes that although the Germans are strict and rigid, they can clearly distinguish the current situation and make the choice that is most beneficial to Germany!  If they continue to fight against the Allies, they will definitely get certain benefits after the war. If they make peace with the Allies and go against China, they will take a very big risk. If they lose, they will lose everything.  Clean!  As long as Wilhelm II and those guys in the German government are not fools, they will continue to carry out the war and fight harder!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Cai Yun nodded and said nothing more!  However, he was already secretly calculating in his mind how long it would take to end the North American battlefield.  Only when China completely ends the war with the United States can China's main strength be mobilized. Only in this way can China be ensured to be invincible in this war!

    Wang Yuze then began to carefully read the battle report brought by the Minister of the Navy. Through the battle report, he could more intuitively understand the results of the navy in this battle.  However, when he saw that the intact battleships captured were almost all old battleships, he felt a little unhappy.  In particular, four of the U.S. Navy's Pennsylvania-class battleships were sunk, which was even more painful.  If these powerful battleships can be captured, it will be of great help to improve the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy!  However, he was quite satisfied when he thought that the Chinese navy only won the naval battle at a small cost.  Those battleships that have been severely damaged can be used by the navy as long as they are towed back to the shipyard for repair.  Maybe it can be used in future naval battles against Germany!

    After the Prime Minister Wu Tingfang responded to the Prime Minister's Office, he immediately ordered people to prepare for a press conference!

    In less than an hour, reporters from dozens of news media from all over the world gathered in the press briefing hall of the Prime Minister's Office.  In addition to Chinese domestic media, these news media are all media from the Allies and other neutral countries.  As for the Allied media, they have already been expelled!

    The spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office came to the stage, looked at the media below, and said calmly: "The Empire has just confirmed that the Imperial Navy Expeditionary Fleet has won the naval battle in the Bahamas! In this battle, the Imperial Navy sank a total of US and British joint warships and aircraft  They captured 20 battleships and captured 26 battleships as well as a large number of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. The US-British combined fleet has been completely wiped out!"

    After the spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office finished speaking, he left directly without explanation, which made the reporters below very surprised!  However, Chinese media reporters have already cheered. They have no doubts about this news!  Although the media from other countries were skeptical, they soon confirmed that the Chinese Navy had indeed won the decisive battle!

    The next day, all major newspapers in China reported the glorious victory of the naval expedition fleet with front-page headlines. For a time, the entire empire fell into a carnival!
