Chapter 582 The most rampant!

5:10.

The morning breeze swept away the hustle and bustle of Manhattan Island for five days. The whole big island seemed to be asleep. There was no bright lights at night, no busyness and noise, no seductive perfume, and no luxury.

Quiet and serene.

Thomas opened the curtains and stood in front of the wide glass window. A red line in the east dazzled him, and his heart beat violently again.

A year ago, he gave Li Mo a suggestion to make the United States react wrongly and transfer the treasury inland after the war. Although no one said anything to him, from the time the 31st Fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean, he guessed that the madman might make the decision to shell the U.S. coastline.

This country is powerful, but the preparation time is too short and too hasty. When it was intentionally or unintentionally forced to the road of armaments, it focused on giant ships and cannons. In just a few years, it built a terrible large fleet, but seriously ignored the construction of offshore patrol warships, especially in the Atlantic Ocean, and even It has been a few months since the war. Britain is asking the United States to mobilize anti-submarine and patrol small warships for support every day, but the unique geographical environment has become a shortcoming. This so-called powerful country can't even bring a few decent torpedo ships to join the Atlantic anti-submarine operation.

Because the United States didn't expect to build small warships before!

Li Mo's cunning guy will not see the weakest place on the East Coast of the United States, and there are too many loopholes in the long coastline, so since the 31st Fleet has been sent, it is impossible not to destroy his temper.

However, these analyses have suddenly become unclear recently, because the previous 31st Fleet actually attacked Gibraltar, appeared off the coast of France, and was even once found sailing in the direction of Iceland by cargo ships, which seemed to remind everyone that their real purpose was still to find opportunities to enter Germany.

And the newspaper said that in the past few days, the German high seas fleet has suddenly become very active and mobilized very frequently. All signs are real. The fleet, which has almost made Britain and the United States crazy, is trying to enter Germany.

Thomas poured a glass of wine for himself. He was not a military strategist and could not guess the other party's thoughts, but he knew that the war had destroyed too many beautiful things. Coupled with continuous defeats, President Wilson and the political axe began to bear pressure. The anti-war voice was becoming more and more intense, and the Republican Party even drafted against the general manager. The draft vote of no confidence is waiting to push him off the stage.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed at himself, because it seemed that he was too mean. What does American politics have to do with him? As long as the gold is kept, then maybe he can really become that, the father of the country!

With a sip of wine, Thomas's eyes glanced at a hazy black spot. Unfortunately, it was not the 31st Fleet he had been waiting here every morning for a month, but a cruise ship entering New York Harbor.

A group of tired European immigrants stepped onto the Aniston deck against the dawn. The curved Verazano Strait divided the New York Bay into upper and lower halves. Although the sky was not bright, it could not stop these people from being excited. They thought that they could set foot on the land without war in an hour at most. Everyone clenched their fists.

"Dad, where is the Statue of Liberty? Why can't I see it?"

A crisp voice provoked Tony's smile. He walked to the couple with the child, who pointed in the wrong direction, and smiled and pointed to the hazy in the distance: "There it is. After waiting for 20 minutes, you can see it."

"Thank you."

The father, who was embarrassed because he pointed in the wrong direction, picked up the child and stretched out his hand to introduce himself: "Terek, Serbian."

"Tony, American."

After a brief introduction, the two talked with a smile, especially Tony's words about the freedom and richness of the United States, which made Terek, who came to this fertile land for the first time, begin to look forward to a bright future.

Suddenly, a golden sun behind him suddenly became longer, like God's blessing to everyone on the Aniston. It tore up the darkness and slowly projected into the whole Upper New York Bay.

As the sky began to brighten, the white sails in the dock in the distance appeared in sight. At this time, the child in his arms suddenly shouted, "Dad, look!"

The tall and towering goddess of Liberty holds the torch high, wears a pointed crown that symbolizes the seven continents of the world and the four oceans, holds the classics representing the law in her right hand, breaks the fetters and chains, faces the Atlantic Ocean, and stands in the middle of the island of Liberty, as if telling everyone who comes and goes to and from the world's famous seaport.

There is freedom and wealth here.

Everyone was attracted by her. It was not until two American patrol ships slowly passing by that they broke their visions and fantasies and made everyone suddenly return to reality. The war was not over.

But it doesn't matter anymore, because they are about to set foot on the United States, and the war cannot burn to this country, which is far away from Europe and the East and has a unique geographical location.

"Jack, look, they are waving to us."

On the patrol ship, John Ford pushed his companions around him and waved hard to the people on the Aniston. Jack beside him had just raised his hat and waved it a few times, as if he had been stabbed into something in his eyes.

"John, what is that?"

"What?"

"Where? Damn, what are your eyes looking at?!" Jack angrily pulled John Ford back and shouted at two fast-moving black spots on the horizon.

"Idiot, that's a plane." Hanford was very annoyed by the hillbilly from Texas who interrupted him to show his American smile to immigrants.

"I know, but who will fly on a day off? And it's still so early. Is it the new seaplane squadron? Jack stared at the plane getting closer and closer, thinking about who would fly the plane in the early morning.

Just as he was concentrated, the two planes that suddenly appeared were getting faster and faster, and then flew over the head of the patrol ship. Jack and John Ford could even feel the strong wind brought by the wings, and couldn't help waving their fists at the two arrogant planes.

"Damn it, asshole!"

"Shit!"

On the deck, there was a roar and scolding, but Jack, who had been looking at the plane, turned pale, because he saw the pair of golden strange wings in the red circle on the body of one of the planes.

He also read in the newspaper yesterday that it was a unique symbol of the Xinhua Imperial Navy aircraft.

Dragon Wings!

"God, are you dren't you dren't Or which bastard deliberately painted this sign to scare people?!"

While he was still recalling the shadow in his retina, the two planes had reached the Statue of Liberty and began to circle.

Time stopped at that moment!

Tony was dragged into the telegraph room because the strange noisy disturbance appeared again and never stopped.

Jack felt as uncomfortable as if he had been stuck in his neck. He always felt that he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

John Ford looked at the plane hovering over the Statue of Liberty, as if he felt that the scene was very wonderful. He thought about whether to put this picture into the movie to let the world see the power of the United States after he retired to make a movie.

Thomas shook his head and put down his glass to prepare for a busy day.

On the Aniston, new immigrants pointed out the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan Island with tall buildings in the distance.

On the dock, the workers yawned lazily and prepared to welcome the first ship to the port today.

On the naval dock, several torpedo ships were close together, and most of the sailors left to enjoy the weekend.

40 kilometers away, two Guam-class ships have completed the transverse rotation, and 18 380mm naval guns are all aimed at the depths of New York Bay.

The Tumenjiang led all the idle secondary guns on the two battleships, and the radar scanned the surroundings over and over again with full power.

Li Xiuyan took a deep breath and took the initial coordinates sent back by Meng Xiaodong from the communications officer. He personally picked up the phone and reported the coordinates to the gun commander in the gun command tower at the top. He said lightly, "The first turret, three shots in a row, and the ranging begins."

"Boom!"

The three naval guns were almost a sound. The vigorous flames from the muzzle suppressed the morning light, and the recoil of the bow was constantly deflected due to the volley.

40 kilometers, which was originally within the reach of any naval gun at present, was broken today, because the two battleships carried 180 newly developed bottom exhaust range bombs.

This is another killer weapon made by Li Mo's plagiarizing the concept of later generations!

In fact, the manufacture of the bottom exhaust extended range bomb is not complicated. Compared with the same type of rocket extended range bomb, it can be regarded as irreparable. However, there is no supercomputer, and fluid mechanics has just appeared in the embryonic age. No one understands where the resistance of the shell is when flying. Many people prefer to make the shell sharp. It is extremely sharp and will not modify the tail.

A thickened bottom, a small hole and a special gunpowder. After being ignited by the propellant after firing, the bottom of the shell will quickly discharge gas, reducing the influence of the eddy current at the bottom of the shell.

In later generations, this is the way to increase the range of the shells that all military fans know, but it is the most cutting-edge technology in this era. However, although Li Mo has made the bottom exhaust range, he can't continue to modify the body because there is no high-speed computer to simulate the flight trajectory of the shell, making it slightly slender and smoother. The 380mm shell can only hit 48 kilometers at the longest, and this distance can be completed in later generations of 155mm shells.

But today, that's enough!

And in addition to explosives, the shell is also mixed with a large amount of white phosphorus that cannot be extinguished after burning!

As an officer who climbed up all the way from the gun commander, Li Xiuyan knew very well how big the error was when the shell was at the farthest distance. In the case that he could only fire 20 rounds, it was the best choice to close to 40 kilometers.

Fortunately, the East Coast of the United States is still calm in the mentality of a safe vacation. Not even a sang board could be seen on the sea in the early morning, so he was able to launch a close-up shelling.

Cannonballs, the torn silence of dawn, when three black spots suddenly fell near Liberty Island in the eyes of all the passengers of the Aniston, the huge column of water and the rumbling explosion stunned everyone!

At this time, a sound like thunder came from afar. Jack jumped up almost at the same time, pointed to the hovering plane and shouted in horror, "Chinese!"

"Left, deviation."

Meng Xiaodong quickly reported the shell explosion point back. Because the distance was too far, the warship could not be observed visually at all, so this shelling was completely guided by their two pilots.

When everyone was stunned and pulled their hair in panic and couldn't believe the scene in front of them, two minutes later, three shells fell into the sky again, and this time they all hit the small Liberty Island.

It is getting closer and closer to the hit, and everyone's heart suddenly hangs to their throats.

Three, three more. When a huge fire burst not far from the base of the Statue of Liberty, the Aniston began to deflect the bow violently. The experienced captains to and from Europe had realized what had happened.

The patrol ship began to accelerate to the distance. New York was awakened by the explosion. Thomas looked at the smoke rising in the distance in disbelief, and his heart beat violently!

They are really coming!

"The direction."

"Gain fire!"

Four rounds, after the debugging of 12 shells, the coordinates finally clearly appeared in front of the two gun commanders. With a burst, 18 380mm main guns roared out at the same time, and the violent sound detonated the whole New York Island!

When a 380mm bottom exhaust range bomb roared into the majestic face of the bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty, the one holding the child pointed in the wrong direction, and then under the guidance of Tony found the right direction. Now Mr. Terek's heart, who was squatting on the deck and observing from the middle of the railing, seemed to be Something hit it.

I only saw that the explosion rose from the face of the goddess of Liberty. When the smoke dissed, I found that half of the whole face and neck had been removed. The flame quickly swallowed and took it down. The steel frame on the side of the neck slowly deflected, and finally broke. Several tons of heads with a head against the crown hit the base like a ball and broke After a few petals, it rolled into the sea again.

Not far away, Tony grabbed the railing and didn't find that his finger bones had begun to bruise. He only saw another roaring shell passing through the hem of the goddess's thick bronze robe. After tearing a huge wound, the flame suddenly rose up along the skirt. ( Note 1) If he saw this scene somewhere else, he might use one word to describe it and laugh recklessly, but now he only feels that the world is beginning to collapse in front of his eyes, his brain stops rotating, and he can't even breathe.

At that moment, he and all the people who saw this scene felt that they had been thrown into the dry desert, with their mouths wide open and cheeks, but they could not breathe any oxygen and wait for the dead fish.

In the burning hell, the devil is in the ** goddess!

The rampant fleet launched the most rampant attack in human history, and also fired a rampant shot that shamed the goddess!
