Opening game, American Tycoon

On November 27, 11, the entire South Atlantic sea area suddenly became lively. From the border coast with Guyana to the coastline of the South China coast, thousands of watchmen searched the sea day and night in thousands of watchtowers. They look for any suspicious targets.

And on the big ocean, thousands of fishing boats of different sizes, the alert fleet, are also searching the sea day and night, searching for traces of the US fleet.

In fact, although the Imperial Navy established a maritime cordon and a sea area alert system by issuing radio stations to fishing boats as early as last year, until ten days ago, the number of search ships had increased to nearly a thousand.The imperial sailors on every search ship kept their eyes open for any suspicious ships on the sea.

Just as they were watching the sea with vigilant eyes, the coalition fleet was approaching the south little by little.

Finally, when the fleet passed the tenth parallel north latitude, it was discovered by a warning airship in the sky, and radio waves hundreds of kilometers away were immediately sent out.

Afterwards, the whereabouts of the allied fleet were constantly discovered by airships. For a while, the sea was full of radio waves. Fisher, the commander of the fleet, didn't think it was a big deal. There is such a possibility.

Moreover, the Imperial Navy has also established a maritime cordon.

The next day, after another undecipherable telegram was intercepted in the telegraph room as the fleet crossed the equator, Fisher said.

"It seems that the empire is ready, we don't need to bring them in front of us, they will come and find us!"

Then, he said again.

"Send a telegram to Admiral Mahan, and we will implement the second battle plan."

Standing in the conning tower of the flagship "USS New York" battleship, after receiving Fisher's telegram, Mahan was silent for a while, and then said.

"Okay, they're coming for us."

After putting down the telegram, Mahan looked very solemn, but he still ordered the fleet to move as planned. Of course, at night, Mahan wrote in the nautical diary.

"It can be predicted that the Ming Empire will become a country without a navy in 10 days!"

The reason why he is so conceited at this time is because... The Imperial Pacific is still in Australia. Just a few hours ago, the "Dahan" and "Dawei" had just bombarded Melbourne, and their aircraft carrier fleet also participated bombed.

This means that the Allied Forces have an absolute power advantage over the Imperial Navy.

"Now, the dynasty class should have already started to dispatch!"

……

"The dynasty-class 15-inch cannon can sink a battleship with one shot..."

In fact, since the outbreak of the war, the "Dynasty Class" of the Ming Empire has been valued by countries all over the world. After all, the 15-inch cannon they possess is the most powerful naval gun in the world, and it is also unique.

It is precisely because of this that after the war, almost all newspapers on both sides, whether it was the enemy or us, swore that no warship could withstand the bombardment of the "Dynasty class".My own people said this to boost morale. As for the latter, it was just to tell the Congress-to spend money and build ships.

But in any case, the power of the dynasty cannot be denied.

Today, on the trestle on Naval Island in Huizhou Bay, the two dynasty-class battleships "Daqin" and "Dajin" are adding supplies. Not only are they adding supplies, but [-] other warships, and dozens of Auxiliary ships are also being equipped with supplementary items.

All ships are trying to saturate all their supply and ammunition bays.It puts fresh meat in the cold store, rice, flour and vegetables in the food store, fuel oil in the oil tank, and fresh water in the water tank.

Of course, the most important thing is to load the shells in the ammunition bay.On the trestle, a smoke-breathing steam locomotive was parked on the side with an open car loaded with huge 380mm shells.The cranes on the shore are continuously hoisting 830 kilograms of powerful shells into the air, and then slowly lowering them, and then passing through the decks, loading them into the ammunition bay deep below the waterline.

From early morning until noon, at the end of the loading and unloading work on the quayside, an order came to face the bridge.

The officer overseeing the loading and unloading of the munitions on the pier shouted:

"The last one!"

An officer on deck responded by waving a finger:
"The last one."

The crane staggered and sent the last 380mm artillery shell, which was shining coldly, into the ammunition bay.The groups of service personnel who were busy on the pier gradually dispersed, and soon only the sailors were left standing in line.

At this time, Admiral Cheng Bichen of the Imperial Navy left the cabin and walked to the loudspeaker on the bridge.

"Everyone! I think you all already know that the target British-American joint fleet—this unprecedentedly powerful fleet is heading towards the mainland of the empire. As the imperial navy, we should stop the enemy overseas..."

As he began his speech, the young officers listened attentively, and with the utmost seriousness.His speech was broadcast throughout the ship through the PA system, making everyone aware of their duties.

And the first men in the fleet are well aware of their responsibilities. They will guard the empire's sea frontiers. Now they have boarded the latest and most powerful battleships. Neither the Royal Navy nor the US Navy has any warship that dares to Competing with it, no large warship can escape from its guns.

They will drive the most powerful and most effective warships to stop the Anglo-Saxons from aggressing the empire. Even if the combined Anglo-American fleet exceeds them, so what?
They are members of the Imperial Navy, and they will use their lives to prove that they will become the rulers of the sea in the next naval battle.

The Royal Navy...was just yesterday's news.

The sound of the admiral's speech echoed throughout the Navy Island through the loudspeaker. At this time, this huge fleet, consisting of 21 warships as the main force, was ready to sail.

Finally, with the speech over, the ranks of sailors began to break up, and they untied and set sail. The "Da Qin" gently swayed its huge body, turned the bow, and sailed slowly towards the sea.Many troops gathered on the trestle bridge, watching this huge fleet go out to sea in the sound of the military band playing.

"This is a fateful day!"

On the deck of the "Da Qin", Qiu Zhenzhi did not stand on the side of the ship to say goodbye to his comrades like the others, but just silently ate fried soybeans, which was his only hobby.

"Are you sure?"

Facing a friend's inquiry, Qiu Zhenzhi said.

"We all know that there are many chances in naval battles, and the only thing we can do is to do our best..."
