Tune the Pacific

Chapter 565 Full Fight

"The butcher without a surname!"

Sitting in the train carriage, Li Mo took the newspaper clip that had just been faxed back from the United States and praised the accompanying Long Guozhang and Tang Shaoyi: "Li Xiuyan and Chen Shaokuan are famous now."

"You say, why can't you let me worry about these bastards?"

Emperor Li, who looked at the corners of his mouth with a smile, but put on his face with a look of compassion, the former Prime Minister smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth and said secretly, "Your Majesty, aren't they your baby bumps?"

Of course, this can't be said to the emperor, so he can only be dark in his heart and sigh, "Your Majesty, this reputation is not good. The United States has been completely angered this time."

"You see, the newspapers are full of condemning the massacre. It can be seen that Wilson is determined to suppress all the anti-war voices, and most of these newspapers are controlled by chaebols. They can't wait to see that the war as big as possible, so that they can make more profits, so I'm worried that the United States will expand crazily during this period. Fill it with naval equipment!"

"If you are angry, you will be angry. What's the big deal? Expand the equipment, but what about the sailors? I can't play in a year or two! During this period, I can kill him half of his life!" Long Guozhang was careless and not ashamed of the massacre. Instead, he felt that the navy's face was very glorious when he came out of this figure. He said happily, "These two children have to do it. They overturned such a large fleet in two hours. If you do it a few more times, you will have more fun."

"Well, do you think it's that simple?"

Li Mo glanced at him and pointed to the newspaper and said, "Germany worked for a year to sink 200,000 tons, and he completed this number in one night, exactly two and a half hours. It's already very good!"

"What's more, the transport fleet will be disbanded immediately after encountering enemies that can't be resisted. Basically, it takes half an hour, and the speed of 15 knots can also allow them to sail more than 10,000 meters, which can be solved in two hours. The 31st Fleet must have used heavy artillery and torpedoes. I'm worried about their ammunition reserves."

Hearing this, Long Guozhang also became serious and said, "If I'm right, starting from the Falkland, the shells in Li Xiuyan and Chen Shaokuan's hands have consumed 30%, and the 360 new shells we gave him will be used to bombard New York. In case the armor-piercing shells are consumed, there will be trouble."

"Yes."

Li Mo put down the newspaper, looked at Long Guozhang, who was speaking, and said with a wry smile, "The two newly launched Pennsylvania class must be ready to deal with the 31st Fleet, and German intelligence said that the British navy has also been mobilized recently, and at least four capital ships have been transferred to form a special interceptor fleet."

"I heard that two Spanish battleships have also been dispatched, plus other small fleets, the total number of warships deployed in the Atlantic Ocean to deal with them may exceed 100!"

"What should I do? Why don't you let Li Xiuyan come back?" Hearing that there are so many warships, Li Enfu was also shocked. The two Guam are now home caretakers. If they are left in the Atlantic Ocean, it's really not worth it.

More importantly, the eldest prince also served on the Guam. In case of problems and even captured by the enemy, it would be a disaster for Xinhua.

Seeing Li Enfu, who wanted to stop talking, Li Mo was secretly grateful. In fact, he didn't worry about Li Zhen. This boy was almost a replica of his later generations. Seeing him was like seeing his stubbornness when he was young, so after deciding to send the 31st Fleet into the Atlantic, he had to look at the map carefully every night. I looked at it again and tried my best to use the few resources in the Atlantic Ocean to support them.

But after all, the Atlantic Ocean is too far away. If it hadn't been for politics and delaying the United States, he wouldn't have taken this dangerous move, but now that he has gone, there is no way back!

"Thank you, sir, but since he chose this road, I can't interfere anymore." As soon as Li Mo waved his hand, he leaned against the window tiredly and looked at his watch. In a few hours, the first three special fleets would return to Shanghai. Thinking of the 31st Fleet, which finally threw himself into the counterattack, the scenery in his eyes began to slowly thin.

Li Mo's appearance made Li Enfu guess what he was thinking. Although Li Mo adopted more Western loose and free development education methods for himself, his love for children has never decreased, so he looked at Long Guozhang and gritted his teeth: "Zhang, we have made such great efforts to support Germany, he It's impossible for us not to do anything!"

Long Guozhang nodded with a chill in his eyes: "Prime Minister and Yuanshou have sent telegrams to William II, Little Mourke and Tirpitz respectively. If they can't provide support, then we don't mind spending a little more time in the southeast!" -

In the building of the German Admiralty, Tirpitz raised the telegram and put it down. He was a little uncertain about it several times. The content of the telegram was not much, but the information was particularly important, that is, Xinhua asked the German navy to launch a containment operation recently to pull the attention of the British back to the North Sea!

The entire telegram did not mention the one that entered the Atlantic Ocean, sank 20 American cargo ships and troop carriers in one night, and killed the fleet of the Uruguayan fleet, but the deep meaning of each sentence pointed to them.

There is no doubt that this important surname called the 31st Fleet by Xinhua is unquestionable. As long as it stays in the Atlantic for one more day, it will put pressure on Britain and the United States for one more day, especially the United States. As long as they don't leave, the United States will not dare to invest a little effort into Europe.

Li Mo fulfilled his promise that as soon as Xinhua started to fight, he would immediately provide important help to the alliance. At that time, he thought that at most, he would contain some Russians from the northern line, or start the Australian campaign to contain the Allies from the flank.

But he didn't expect that this madman sent two of the most powerful battleships into the Atlantic Ocean, and destroyed the Uruguayan fleet in just a dozen days, which was really unexpected!

What surprised and surprised him more was that according to the telegram sent by Shi Pei, the Xinhua Navy completed a strategic counterattack from being raided in two days. In addition to their naval equipment and strength that shocked the world, Li Mo's tactics to lure the enemy in depth are even more crazy!

If there was a slight accident at that time, Australia would be cut off, and it would take several times more troops to get through!

However, he will not think that Li Mo is super lucky, because from the perspective of geographical environment, the British and American raids on the route from Xinhua to Australia at the beginning of the war are the only choice. After all, the United States has no bases in the empty Northeast Pacific, the environment in Malacca is bad, and that area is full of Xinhua's eyeliners and bases, big ships. The team's entry is almost the same as looking for death. If it's me, I'm afraid I'll dig a trap in the southwest to let Britain and the United States get in by themselves.

The question now is how he should support this fleet!

Previously, he had ordered all submarines and attack ships operating in the Atlantic Ocean to provide information to the Xinhua 31 Fleet and strengthened surveillance of the U.S. and British coastlines. Previously, the intelligence of the U.S. fleet was also provided by submarines, but now it seems that Li Mo is not satisfied with this. What he needs is a large surface ship!

Thinking of this, Tirpitz immediately walked to the chart.

Compared with Xinhua, the living space of the German navy is too bad. Nearly 10,000 mines have been arranged by the British one after another when the North Sea goes to the sea. The fleet has to use some brains when it comes out of the sea. What's more, Jelko's large fleet is guarded in Scarpa Bay, and the fleet will be intercepted by the British as soon as it goes to sea.

The big fleet is not good, so what about the small fleet?

The British battlecruiser formation was hit hard. Four battlecruisers were lost in the last time in the Pacific Ocean. The Insatien and Australia are being repaired. The latest Tiger also joined the E Fleet a few days ago, and now there are only three Lions in front of me!

On my side, except for the Sedlitz and Blücher, which have not been repaired, the other four are in perfect condition. The advantage of four to three is possible!

The Battle of Doger Sandbar caused heavy losses to the German cruiser formation, so is it time to fight back?

As soon as Tirpitz thought of this, a scorching heat rose in his heart. If he could give the British a punch at this time, the disadvantages and value of the German navy would come back, and Britain would inevitably withdraw its fist to the 31st Fleet.

"Jil, let Shear and General Hipper come to see me immediately." Tierpitz's eyes were cold, and the adjutant had knocked on the door: "Marshal, the Chief of Staff asked you to go to the meeting immediately. I heard that it was because Xinhua sent a telegram saying that it would bring us more allies in three days."

Tirpitz's eyes were cold, and this Li Mo was urging him to do it! ——

Several taxis painted beige lined up and squeezed into the sixteen-store wharf. Before the car stopped, the late reporter jumped out of the car in a hurry and plunged into the crowd that had long been dense and invisible.

The progress of the times has made many big cities in Xinhua have a modern atmosphere, especially in several municipalities directly under the Central Government. Not only high-rise buildings have emerged one by one, but also taxis similar to Europe and the United States have appeared on the road. As for the original rickster drivers, there are fewer and fewer.

When several reporters finally rushed to the front, they saw that the gendarmes had already separated the dock. Before they could show their press cards to negotiate, a long whistle sounded in their ears.

The mottled warships slowly sailed into the Pujiang River. Although not all of them, for the sake of publicity, the navy still transferred back four Yanjing-class and four seriously injured Dalian-class, and tried their best to bring them back for today's needs.

The warship slowly, the bright blood cloud dragon claw flag fluttered high, one by one bullet hole, one by one, scorched black, against the tired but still upright sailors on the deck.

When eight ships fell anchors on the Pujiang River, the first thing they saw was a coffin that was removed from the warship and covered with the national flag. Long and quiet, under the shoulders of the soldiers, they stepped on the dock.

Many young girls burst into tears in an instant. When more and more coffins, under the package of the national flag, lined up and walked through the most prosperous road (now Nanjing Road). This Xinhua's top international metropolis fell into sinking and tears in the blink of an eye. .

"We have fulfilled our oath." Long Guozhang waved his arms in front of hundreds of reporters and tens of thousands of Shanghai citizens, and his voice could be heard several streets away.

"We fulfilled His Majesty's promise to fight back, and the admirals protected the empire's territory with their lives and blood!"

"But we also paid the price!"

"These soldiers were all sacrificed in this counterattack battle."

"Now, the enemy is still continuing to gather a more powerful fleet, trying to defeat us, and continue to slaughter my soldiers! But I'm here to tell these soldiers that we, the Imperial Royal Navy, will not be scared by blood and death!"

"Our fleet will join hands with the partners of the Allies to launch a more fierce counterattack in the Atlantic!"

On August 20, only 20 days after Xinhua joined the war, when the news of three counterattack naval battles and sinking a total of 25 ships of the Allies were sent from the mouth of Long Guozhang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the New China Empire, the situation in the Pacific suddenly changed dramatically.

21 said that Xinhua Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi announced that he would recruit 3 million reservists and declared a state of emergency.

On the same day, U.S. President Wilson also delivered a speech in Washington, competing for the announcement of the conscription of soldiers and the construction of a total of 60 naval ships. He vowed that the United States would not retreat and firmly believed that the victory of the war would belong to the United States and the agreement.

At the same time, Nakazawada, the second Prime Minister after the war, announced that he would follow Xinhua and build a prosperous Asia together, vowing to fight against the militarists who tried to infect Asia, and hand over the 10 reserve infantry divisions that had just been recruited to the headquarters of Xinhua's General Staff.

At the same time, North Korea also announced that it would hand over 10 infantry divisions to Xinhua's leadership to fight against foreign invaders.

In order to thank the two countries, Li Mo, the emperor of the Xinhua Empire, personally called the Japanese Emperor and the President of Korea, and urged the Prime Minister's Office to immediately provide loans worth 500 million blue coins to the two countries to help them restore the national economy.

22 said that the most unexpected scene appeared. The king of Siam, who had always been neutral, announced that he would join the alliance and work with Xinhua to build a prosperous Asia.

With the news of Siam joining the alliance, the whole southeast peninsula was detonated, and the largest resistance movement broke out in the Dutch, French and British colonies.

On the 25th, the first two infantry divisions of the Xinhua Army landed in North Australia and Western Australia under the close protection of nearly 40 warships, announcing the beginning of the battle for Australia!

Like the knocked down donino, with the full launch of Xinhua and the United States, the real world war finally broke out, and the first declaration of war finally came from South America, which had been watching before.

26 On the 26th, the Colombian Parliament passed the proposal to join the alliance and declare war on the treaty. Secondly, before the war, the three divisions of the Xinhua Marines assembled in Colombia before the war, one Japanese and North Korean infantry divisions, and a Colombian army, a total of 90,000 people rushed to the border between Colombia and Panama.

26 said that when the world was disturbed by the hot winds in the Pacific Ocean, there were waves in the Atlantic Ocean at the same time.

Four battlecruisers of the German high seas fleet, which had been silent, suddenly rushed out of the North Sea. Although they were finally stubbornly blocked by the British fleet again, the battlecruiser Lion were seriously injured and three armored cruisers were lost.

The sudden restless German fleet made the British Admiralty not be careless. In the face of the unfavorable situation of losing another ship of the war patrol, it could only order the Tiger, which had already set out, to come back immediately and join the blockade of Germany.

27 said that in the face of unfavorable occupation, British Prime Minister Asquith announced that he would take all the responsibilities and sadly resigned from the position of Prime Minister. The replacement was the original assistant, Finance Minister Lao He George.

With the announcement of the imperial counterattack, there was a sound of wind on all fronts, and there was only one word to describe the world at this time.

Fight in full swing!
