Li Yong originally planned to disrupt the Bay of Bengal and achieve the ultimate goal of forcing out the remains of the Empire's Locust aircraft. However, the No. 1 ship made great achievements in the Yindu Ocean, which not only dealt a heavy blow to Yindu Ocean shipping, but also indirectly disrupted various strategies of the John Bull Empire.
Plan to make the Imperial Malacca campaign easier!
In a sense, the important role of the small No. 1 ship in the Indian Ocean is far greater than that of any powerful fleet in the empire. The most noteworthy thing is that the No. 1 ship unexpectedly obtained the most important thing by chance.
Although one set of worthless Locust aircraft fragments fell into the hands of the enemy, it is something to be thankful for.
The busy Yindu ocean route controlled by Emperor John Bull became a vast stage for the No. 1 ship to gallop. It was not how powerful the No. 1 ship was, but Li Yong's flexible tactics and the ability to deal with various factors.
Feeding the enemy, feeding the war with war, the clever use of ghost tactics.
The most rare thing in the world, and the hardest thing to achieve, is to get sincere admiration from the enemy! But the No. 1 ship has achieved this. Although the people of the John Bull Empire hated the No. 1 ship, after getting the 1
After the news of the USS USS safely returning to Manila Naval Base, John Bull public opinion rushed to report:
"It is said that war is cruel, but the elegant No. 1 ship has written a new chapter of epic maritime guerrillas; we have a touch of sadness in our hearts. With the "homecoming" of the epic No. 1 ship, the charming
Has the poem come to an end here?!"
Not only in the public opinion circles, but also in the military, those survivors who had fought with the No. 1 ship all praised all the officers and soldiers of the No. 1 ship. They believed that the Empire No. 1 ship was elegant, gentlemanly and harmonious at all times.
With noble spirit of chivalry!
In view of the outstanding contribution of the Skeleton Fleet No. 1 ship, Emperor Zhou Yu did not hesitate to inscribe it in his own hand - Epic Ship No. 1, and recorded first-class collective merit for all officers and men on the ship, and each received an Imperial Royal Golden Dragon Medal.
Since then, the legendary name of the Imperial Navy ~ "Epic Ship" has become a famous ship in the history of the Imperial Navy, passed down from generation to generation!
With the return of the No. 1 ship, the "noisy" Indian Ocean seems to have gradually returned to its past rhythm, but this is not the case. The arrival of Uncle Sam's 5th fleet has made the atmosphere in the Indian Ocean, Asia, and even the coast of Southeast Asia even more intense.
Been more nervous than ever.
In order to speed up the military pace in Southeast Asia, the Empire's Southern Theater Command dispatched troops and generals to land in Siam, cutting off the movement depth of John Bull's Western troops from the north. It gradually advanced to the south, squeezing the remaining John Bull Empire forces.
living space.
At the same time, a large number of defensive fortifications were built to increase air defense capabilities in areas where military control had been completed, especially along the coastal landing routes facing enemy pressure, and airports were built on various islands to increase the air force's radiation capabilities.
The empire's behavior made Uncle Sam's fleet and base stationed in North Korea suddenly nervous. Reconnaissance planes frequently monitored the movements of the empire's southern theater. But what surprised the empire was that after more than ten days, Uncle Sam's country had no choice but to stay behind.
The first fleet was stationed outside Beiao, and all other fleets were evacuated.
Soon everyone knew the reason from Uncle Sam's secret message intercepted by the Shenlong. It turned out that when the fragments of the Empire's Locust aircraft were completely cracked by the opponent, the upper echelons of Uncle Sam's empire were shocked. They were all shocked by the performance data displayed by the Locust aircraft.
Got it!
According to the data given by Uncle Sam's technical department, this Locust aircraft is currently the world's most advanced fast long-range bomber. It is located at the Southeast Asian airport of the Chinese Empire, and its bombing radiation range can cover the entire control area of Uncle Sam's continent.
And what worries Uncle Sam's country the most is whether the Chinese Empire's aircraft carrier-based aircraft have similar models. If so, then the western coastline of Uncle Sam's homeland will always be in danger of being bombed by Imperial carrier-based aircraft groups.
Before the threat of the Locust aircraft fleet was completely resolved, for the sake of the security of the homeland, Uncle Sam's country lifted its military operations in the imperial-controlled areas of Southeast Asia. In addition to ordering the first fleet to be stationed in Aozhou and the second fleet to be stationed in the Marshall Islands,
The other three fleets all returned to the west coastline of the mainland to garrison in the territorial waters....
In Ao Australia, the John Bull Empire, Uncle Sam's country, and even the Ao government forces, the three-party coalition forces quickly opened up countless large and small airports behind their own defense lines. There are also airport auxiliary air defense facilities, which are also seizing the time to build.
middle.
More than two hundred fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, bombers, etc. transported from Uncle Sam's homeland have been stationed in Papua New Guinea and the northern coastline to increase coastal reconnaissance and defense capabilities.
The world media was in an uproar about this! Everyone originally thought that in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, there would definitely be a shocking naval battle that was even bigger than the Battle of Jutland, but the menacing Uncle Sam turned out to be "yang flaccid".
"Well, this cannot help but surprise the people of the world!
With the departure of several fleets of Uncle Sam, the frequently active fleet of the John Bull Empire also became extinct. Together with Uncle Sam's people, it invested a large number of talents in research on imitating the Chinese Empire's Locust aircraft. The most important imitation was
It is a machine body with a molded and glued wooden structure.
But as a result, the price of spruce wood rose sharply. However, Zhou Yu has almost no monopoly on spruce wood in America. It is nominally an industry under the name of JP Morgan Chase Group. For this reason, Zhou Yu made a huge profit from speculation.
fiscal.
Dewey, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy in the Pacific Region, Uncle Sam, was not a coward, let alone a reckless person. In order to obtain more accurate first-hand imperial intelligence, after the large fleet group arrived in Aozhou, he sent a team one night
A small-scale rapid response fleet went deep into the Palau Islands to conduct a survey;
He himself was also hiding in the fleet, but when the fleet was only 20 kilometers away from the target, Dewey suddenly ordered the fleet to turn around and return. Because the soldier's sixth sense told him that there was a huge sinkhole waiting in front of him.
This fleet of my own.
With a voyage of more than 20 kilometers, he was almost within reach, but just such a small distance made him feel the difference between heaven and hell. As a high-level fleet general, he should not have such hesitation to change orders from day to day, but he still ordered
The small fleet returned.
After two confrontations with the Chinese Empire, Dewey already knew from his bones how powerful the empire's military power was. Perhaps, the empire also hid a more powerful force that was not known to the world, just like the Locust aircraft swarm.
As one of the few generals in Uncle Sam's navy who had a violent collision with the military power of the Chinese Empire, Dewey had a clearer understanding than most people in the country. The comprehensive military strength of the Chinese Empire was unfathomable!
The Battle of Saipan exposed the power of the Chinese Empire's air force and witnessed the absolute air superiority of the Imperial Air Force when it came to the face. The Great Battle of the Northern Territory of Wake Island exposed another branch of the Chinese Empire, the Navy.
and the strength of naval aviation;
Witnessed the new navy, new battleships, and new tactics of the Chinese Empire; to this day, Dewey still has lingering fears every time he thinks of the situation at that time!
However, in the confrontation with the Imperial Pacific Fleet, Dewey learned a brand-new tactics from the opponent, that is, the ring formation plan, that is, the cruisers and destroyers serving as escort missions are arranged into several centripetal rings around the battleships.
shape.
The advantage of this arrangement is that it facilitates the concentration of air defense and cluster firepower, and enables unified action under the command of a signal, thus effectively changing the direction of the entire formation.
Recent operational drills have proven that the ships in this new formation are easy to deploy into a column, are highly maneuverable and relatively time-saving.
There is another kind of tactics, but Dewey can't understand its meaning! This kind of tactics is the original three-three tactics of the Imperial Navy's rookie ~ Yan Bing, which is coordinated with the fleet's multi-layered firepower. All these make Dewey deeply
Impressed by the Empire's new naval commanders! Because of this, Dewey became more cautious about fighting the Empire...
To be honest, Dewey at this time was one of the very few people in Uncle Sam's country who did not want to be the enemy of the Chinese Empire. It was not that he was afraid of being beaten by the empire, nor that he did not think that the Chinese Empire and Uncle Sam would become enemies. In fact,
Dewey knew better than anyone that the two countries would have a war.
Because, not to mention far away, just the Empire of China and the Empire of China forced Uncle Sam and the Empire of China to fight. The Empire of Wei was like a sharp sword, nailing Uncle Sam's country's seven Pacific waterways.
An inch of it makes Uncle Sam's country feel like it's stuck in his throat and he doesn't want to spit it out!
Zhou Yu, the rather low-key emperor of the Chinese Empire, also knew this. He concentrated on operating secretly in Xiaowei for more than 30 years, spending a lot of money to build it into a completely self-sufficient maritime super aircraft carrier and integrating more than a hundred main warships of the Chinese Empire.
Trapped there.
If Uncle Sam's country wants to capture it, it must lure the Imperial Pacific Fleet out of the military port, and it must have twice the number of warships and carrier-based aircraft fleets as the opponent's, in order to have the ability to completely defeat the opponent.
The reason why Dewey was unwilling to become an enemy of the Chinese Empire was because he had a particularly clear understanding. He knew that Uncle Sam's country had not yet gained absolute maritime superiority. If he chose to go to war with the Chinese Empire at this time, there would be no guarantee of victory except attrition and defeat.
hope!
But he did not say what he was thinking, because the previous government of his country had already swallowed the bait of the John Bull Empire, and this bait was the Pacific Condominium between the two countries.
For the country's capital tycoons, the huge interests in the Pacific Ocean prompted them to guide Uncle Sam's country into this huge trap.
Now that Uncle Sam's country has plunged headlong into the trap of Pacific expansion, its Congress has granted the president the power to declare war. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
