Chapter 805 Get ready, we're going to go again

In the sultry Caribbean Sea, a string of islands are spread on the blue islands like green beads. The heron birds seem to be unable to stand the burning, and lazily put away their wings to hide in the shade of the trees.

Suddenly, a large group of dolphins chased each other and jumped out of the water. Next to them, three small destroyers came slowly. The sailors on the mast held telescopes and kept scanning around. When the destroyer disappeared behind the island, the rolling smoke column had been involved in the white clouds from the rear.

70 nautical miles south of American Puerto Rico, a huge multinational fleet rides the wind and waves in three marching formations. In addition to the familiar blood cloud dragon claw flag, there are also naval flags such as Japanese, North Korea, Colombia and Peru on the mast. Even a cruiser was sent to distant Siam.

But what is surprising is that the flagship flag is not hung on the two Yanjing-class battleships in the fleet, but on the top of the modified triangular mast of the Japanese Navy Nagato.

The most eye-catching of the formation is the two Spanish-class battleships captured by Xinhua, but the Cuban political axe has not yet officially joined the alliance, so the two ships can only fly the Xinhua naval flag for the time being.

Of course, the least attention is the Seahawk!

Sailing among a large number of steel beasts, the Seahawk was like a chicken under the eagle's claws, which made the German sailors on the deck a little frustrated. If it hadn't been for the installation of two steam engines during the modification, it would have been estimated that they would not even catch up with others, so everyone could not understand why the major insisted on joining the formation and was laughed at by others.

"major."

Yaen couldn't help it. After more than ten days, he finally broke the silence and asked, "What do you mean by madman?"

Lucners slowly wrote the fake navigation diary that was no longer used. It seemed that he had forgotten that he did not need to be a break-attack ship again. As for the luxurious 400-bed cabin, it had been vacated, and the prisoners had long been loaded in Panama.

In fact, he also knew that the Seahawk was purely cannon fodder in cannon fodder in this level of battle, so he didn't want to participate in the battle at all. Instead, he took a lot of medicine in the fortress and prepared to use the Seahawk as a medical ship. After all, he was an ally. If he didn't make a little contribution, wouldn't he let people see the German sea clearly? The army.

After slowly compiling the voyage, I originally wanted to count the medicine on the ship. I could see that Ya'en's face was dark and about to explode. Then he picked up the pen and said, "Li Mo is a madman. The Chinese are all crazy. They want to repeat the scene of Guam crossing the Atlantic Ocean two years ago."

Yaen was stunned first, and then his heart shrank, and he understood the meaning of the madman in Lucanar's mouth.

Seeing that Jern was finally enlightened, Lukener was not hiding his clumsiness and continued: "The whole world thought that the Chinese would accept Jellico's challenge in the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico, but I don't think they would easily be willing to fight in this broken place without giving full play to their technical advantages.

Because the most powerful thing for Chinese people is speed, which is the plane!

But if there is a decisive battle in the Caribbean, Jellico can easily take advantage of the number of people and rely on dense islands and reefs to deal with them. In this case, who can guarantee that a few capital ships will not be missed? The dense islands can provide a good camouflage for warships! So I think they didn't want to fight here at the beginning. In addition, it's too far from the United States. Even if they are hit, do they have to fight all the way along the East Coast?

So I think the decisive battle should be here!"

As Luckner circled a small black dot with a pen, Arne immediately jumped up and pointed to it and shivered: "No, it's impossible. How did they get there?" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the former stretched several lines along the black dot. When all the lines were drawn, he understood a little, but there was another problem in it: "Major, although the speculation is bold, you forgot that the intelligence said that the Chinese Taiwan-class battleships were waiting for repair in Djibouti, and the other ship also returned to Guangzhou to be docked for repair, and the Chinese did not have extra aircraft carriers to support them. The Cape Verde base uses three British battleships and a large number of aircraft. With a slight delay, Jellico will have the opportunity to arrange a new line of defense, and more.

"No redundant aircraft carriers?" Lucanar interrupted Yan and smiled faintly: "Ha ha, don't forget that there are five aircraft carriers here, and one or two can be transferred to pick them up!"

"But can they make it? At least wait for docking and repair!" As soon as Yan said this, he suddenly saw a touch of cunning on the corners of Luckner's mouth and immediately understood, " Major, do you mean it's fake? However, unless the two of them go out together, I'm afraid they will be blocked by Campbell outside Cape Verde!"

Yaen is right. It is not safe for a single battleship to go on the road, even if it is protected by a cruiser, so generally at least two capital ships go to sea together, so that they can cover each other when they meet the enemy. Now the Chinese only have two Taiwan-class ships in service, and the third one is still at the end of the assembly, unless the second ship is dispatched. The Hebei level of the team.

"Yaen, believe me, if they really come, then there must be two!"

"This is impossible. Even if the Shandong docking is fake, the Taiwan can't be hidden from anyone in Djibouti Port."

"Real is it? You forgot."

"Boom!"

The fierce gunfire interrupted the conversation between Lukner and Yaen. They rushed to the deck and found that the main fleet in front of them had dispersed, and the rumbling gunfire exploded in their ears. Suddenly, the sea was covered with a layer of black gauze, and there was a choking smell of gunpowder everywhere.

"Get ready to save people." Lucner simply forgot what he had just said and focused on being a rescuer. The Puerto Rico's left-behind fleet, composed of three cruisers and several destroyers, could not stop the indiscriminate bombing of so many capital ships, and began to retreat in just ten minutes.

After a while, dozens of Hornets swept over the fleet and rushed to the U.S. colony of Puerto Rico. The U.S. military aircraft stationed on the island were no rivals at all. In the end, they could only shrink to the temporary airport deep in the island and hide.

After the threat of aircraft, the multinational fleet began to change its formation. Ten battleships lined up in turn, and shells fell like hail in Puerto Poncé, Puerto Rico's second largest city.

On June 23, the world-renowned battle for the Caribbean Sea finally began. Under the command of Vice Admiral Hitomi Yamaki, a multinational fleet of ten main battleships, eight cruisers and 16 destroyers bombed Puerto Ponce and San Juan for two days.

On June 25, the 35,000 allied army with the Japanese army as the core landed on the island of Puerto Rico under the cover of aircraft warships, opening the prelude to the battle for Puerto Rico

.. Kiel Harbour has a new look.

After Delan, the German Ocean Fleet, which had been silent in the harbor, gathered again, and the new warships were repaired with a cold metallic luster in the sun, waiting for the horn to sound again.

The Xinhua Navy killed four sides to bring back countless gold and land to Li Mo. Under the situation that Scheer was a little conservative, William II finally couldn't sit down and had to re-use Tirpitz, hoping that it could break the dullness of the navy as soon as possible and bring back more benefits to him.

On this point, the German navy raised its hands in favor. Even Scheer knew that he was really inferior to the other party in some aspects, but William II also considered Scheer's accumulated fleet combat experience in Tehran and did not remove him from the position of commander-in-chief of his fleet.

Tirpitz's return to the German Admiralty is undoubtedly a shock to Europe. In the case of losing excellent admirals one after another, even Britain has to re-examine what Tirpitz's first step to do.

The flagship Bavaria was hoisted for the first time after Delan. The soldiers put on white and brand-new summer clothes and quietly waited for his arrival.

Three small jeeps slowly stopped next to the flagship. The door opened, his hair was gray, and the bearded Tilpitz returned to the cradle of the German navy for the first time. In the eyes of outsiders, the old man was obviously a little fat after being removed from office, but when he stepped on the gangway and squinted at the military flag above his head, everyone could still feel the famous father of the German navy. The power contained in the old marshal's body.

Obviously, this old lion is not ready to be bullied!

As soon as he returned to the Admiralty, Tirpitz chose to hold the first meeting on the flagship of the fleet. He did not want to be ingenious, but to tell everyone that the German navy is not just "existent"!

The sound of crisp leather boots sounded from the corridor. In the conference room, including Scheer, Hiper and Speer, Spee, who had just returned from Austria-Hungary, stood up and waited quietly for the moment when the hatch was opened.

The hatch was finally pulled open from the outside, and Tirpitz appeared in front of everyone accompanied by the guards.

He didn't say anything. After waving his hand to let everyone sit down, his eyes began to sweep and he seriously looked at these outstanding generals he pulled up with one hand.

The Caribbean Sea has started!

Although the two sides have not yet fought a decisive battle, it is destined that the upcoming July will be the hottest month since the war began.

He feels very lucky, because the German navy is not depressed, and there are geniuses like Lukener! If he hadn't joined the multinational fleet of the Caribbean Alliance alone on behalf of Germany, and if it hadn't been for the confidential telegrams and speculations he sent back, the German navy might have continued to wait.

Tirpitz slowly raised his hand, and under the gaze of all eyes, he suddenly turned around and suddenly put it on the chart behind him. His fingers slowly crossed the Helgoland Island, which Germany took from Britain for the first time, and stopped on the North Sea.

"Get ready, we're leaving again!"
