Chapter 414 We Are Soy Sauce Passing by the British Royal Navy! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
At 4 am on April 5, in the waters near the Bahamas.

"Lieutenant General, American telegram."

On the HMS Royal Oak, the flagship of the British Royal Navy's Caribbean Fleet, Vice Admiral William Baga, who was enjoying a rich French breakfast in the officer's dining room, suddenly heard the voice of the communications officer.

I only saw this British naval admiral who led the Indian Malacca fleet in the "Ming-India Malacca Naval Battle" and successfully persisted until his own armored cruiser came to help (although the battle failed, William Baga still contributed ) put down the knife and fork in his hand, slowly picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, took a sip from the coffee cup, and then asked under the watchful eyes of a group of Royal Navy officers who had breakfast with him: "What did the Americans say?" ? Have they returned victoriously now?"

"They haven't been bombed yet!"

William Baga took a sip of his coffee and said thoughtfully, "As expected, those planes taking off from small sampans can't stop the more advanced enemy fighter planes at all. Otherwise, the Americans would definitely brag about it in the telegram. Confrontation, what else did they say?"

"They hit two of the Mexican's heroes!"

"Is it just a serious injury?" William Baga raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, yes, just a heavy blow!"

William Baga frowned again: "The 6 US-class ships should be able to quickly sink 2 Hero-class ships. If they can't, then they must be blown up badly by enemy planes!"

His analysis is well-founded. Although the Hero class is a very good battleship, it is also an object for all countries that can build battleships to imitate and surpass. And because it is a foreign trade ship, so his various Item data is public.And the victory level of the motherboard of the United States level is developed for the hero level. Regardless of firepower or protection, it can beat the hero level!Although the United States-class can only run at a speed of 18 knots without strong pressure because they bought substandard steam engines, the 6 to 2 advantage is still enough for them to achieve the result of sinking enemy battleships in a very short period of time.

If the Americans failed to achieve heroic results in sinking, they were either blind and unable to shoot, or those battleships lacking air cover were paralyzed by enemy planes.

"Lieutenant General, they also say they will fight to the end, and that if we get there in time the victory will be for the Anglo-Saxons."

William Baga nodded: "What a brave American. Well, pass my order, and the ships of the Caribbean Fleet will raise the flag of the Royal Navy immediately!"

"Lieutenant General, you said the flag of the Royal Navy was raised?"

A British Royal Navy lieutenant colonel who was having breakfast with William Baga hurriedly reminded: "But we are now being ordered to pretend to be the US Navy. If we want to join the battle, there is no need to raise the Royal Navy flag."

William Baga glanced at him and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel, our mission is that if the U.S. Navy wins the battle of surface ships, then we will join in and hunt down the remnants of the Mexico-Texas Combined Fleet! If the U.S. The Navy is facing irreparable defeat, and we are just a passing Royal Navy."

"But the situation is really that serious now?" Then the lieutenant colonel said, "Maybe the Americans can still save it."

William Baga shook his head and said: "Salvation is what God wants to do, not what we have to do. We are soldiers, soldiers of the Royal Navy. The duty of soldiers is to defend the interests of the country and win for the country. Victory. If we are involved in a losing battle now, instead of bringing the glory of victory to the country, we will make her suffer the shame of defeat. Moreover, our 4 Victory-class ships, 2 Indomitable-class ships and The six Crecy-class ships are very valuable assets and cannot be lost in vain. They should not be taken to risk until we have aircraft that can rival the advanced fighter jets of Ming Dynasty."

"I understand, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General."

William Baga nodded, and then said to the communications officer: "Go and call the Americans back, just say... we are heading north at full speed, and we will definitely arrive around 3 o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General."

"Damage tube!"

"Hose, hose, pull up the hose!"

"Quickly, turn on the faucet!"

"Quick, cool down the fort!"

"boom"

"God, ambulance!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

When Major Johnson, the communications officer of the United States, came out of the telegraph room with a copy of the telegram, there were noisy voices in his ears.Naval battles are really going on!But William Baga guessed right, the Americans really bombed the enemy planes quite badly. Although none of the United States class was bombed and sunk, the six battleships have been bombed one or two times, and each of them was hit. Four to six 6-kilogram bombs were dropped.

This level of bombing is neither big nor small, and it is not fatal to the United States Successor, which has strengthened the deck armor and the top armor of the turret.But the United States level only has such a small tonnage after all, and it is impossible to turn itself into a big iron bump, so it can only adopt the method of key protection to keep the important parts, but the less important parts, with only light armor protection.So every United States-class ship was blown out of several holes, and some of them even caught fire, and the fire was raging.However, due to the relatively strong damage control of each ship, the situation is basically still under control.

At the same time, the 6 Hero-class ships that fought against the 2 United States-class ships were also severely damaged.The bow turret of the Bolivar class has been damaged, the barrels of the two 280mm cannons have been blown crookedly, and other parts of the hull have also been shot in many places.The situation of Agustin I was also quite bad. There were many fires in the superstructure, and the bow was penetrated by 12-inch shells, and a lot of water entered, and now it looks a little sinking.

But Daming's shipbuilding technology is indeed very reliable. Although the two hero classes were battered all over, they still maintained a certain level of combat effectiveness, and their speed did not slow down significantly.

Just as Johnson was heading for the command tower along the stairs, another 280mm artillery shell fired by the Agustin I hit the USS USS. The gun cover of the 6-inch secondary gun not only directly exploded the latter, but also exploded several 6-inch shells, causing a chain explosion, and the starboard side of the United States was littered with corpses.

Johnson, who was climbing the stairs, couldn't stand still and fell down a few steps. His knee was hit by the steel steps and hurt a lot!However, he didn't dare to delay at all, gritted his teeth, stood up, continued to climb, and finally walked into the strongest and safest place in the whole ship - the command tower.

"Admiral, a telegram from Lieutenant Admiral Baga, he said that his fleet is heading north at full speed and will arrive as soon as possible"

Just when Major Johnson was halfway through his words, he realized that the admiral in front of him was lying on the window of the conning tower and looking out, as if he hadn't heard his words at all, so he could only lean forward, and just about to say it again, he heard the admiral The admiral said in a deep tone: "They are coming again!"

"Who? Who's here?"

"Airplanes! The Chinese planes are coming again. This is the third wave! This is less than an hour since the end of the last wave of air strikes!" David Porter said, "This shows that their aircraft-carrying warships are nowhere near us. How far. If the lingering British had arrived by now, they might be able to find those carriers and launch an attack."

"But they won't wait until three o'clock in the afternoon."

"That means there are six more waves of air strikes!" David Porter shook his head, "We can't last that long. When the British arrive, they should collect our bodies! It seems that we can only pass on my own. Order: United States Fleet, all assaults! Tell everyone: The rise and fall of the United States, strike here!"
