Chapter 614 The ending is doomed from the beginning!
Chapter 614 The ending is destined at the beginning!
Starting from the appearance of ironclad ships and those armored sail steam-steam hybrid warships, the balance of war began to tilt the moment they appeared. When the naval officers and soldiers of the main fleet of the United States of America watched the powerful squadron rise by this terrible demon fleet, which was sprayed with magma and smoke from the mouth and nose, was easily torn to pieces. When the ironclad ship led by the squadron broke away with the momentum of destroying the world, and appeared in their sight, the souls of almost all the naval officers and soldiers of the United States of America were almost frozen.
Next, a bigger nightmare began. The ironclad ship ignored the outrageously dense artillery and disrupted the formation of the entire United States of America Expeditionary Fleet in an unreasonable manner. Every time its heavy artillery on the bow and tail of the ship fired, it would tear a terrible huge hole in the hull of the warships that the American navy were proud of. Then there was an explosion like a crack in the sky and the earth. The huge fireball, the disintegrating hull, and the broken and burning mast made the sea surface as miserable as a flame hell.
What scared the naval officers and soldiers even more was the terrifying flames spewed out from the terrifying black warship. Rows of sharp and huge warheads easily tore the ship's side, human body, and masts into pieces, and almost nothing could stop them.
Although those armored sail steam hybrid warships could not rush around like the iron armored ship, their strong defense and combat power, which was also not inferior to the United States Navy, soon caused a bloody storm in the formation of the United States of America fleet.
Major General Hall was a very excellent naval commander, but facing such a fleet that did not fight according to common sense, he lost his power and retreat. In addition, the fleet was destroyed too quickly, and the captains of the United States of America formed by privateers, pirates, and bodyguards immediately subconsciously restored their inherent combat mode for more than ten years, causing the fleet's formation to collapse.
At this time, the formation of the Eastern Fleet also changed. After several giant battleships attracted the main force of the forefront of the United States of America, the fast warships in the rear began to interweave under the crazy artillery fire of the United States of America. A large number of trained Japanese servants waved their swords and shook their cables, forcibly jumped to the side to fight in close combat.
Although these servants suffered heavy casualties, once the boarding was successful, it would be a terrible disaster for the naval officers and soldiers on the warships of the United States of America. Although they were short, they were agile. What was important was that the way these servants attacked desperately, which caused the forefront of the United States of America Expeditionary Fleet to fall into chaos.
Looking down from the sea, you can see that the formation of the United States of America Expeditionary Fleet on the sea is like a huge and stout sea basilisk, its giant palate with poisonous fangs is trying hard to swallow the plump prey made of several strong giant warships.
Now, the fangs of the snake monster are being corroded by the servants at all costs. Around the huge head of the snake monster, a large group of warships are like a group of fierce and cruel tiger sharks, quickly surrounding them.
And on the waist and abdomen of the snake monster, the Oriental squadron led by an iron-clad ship was like a sea god weapon that could pierce the sky and the eye of the storm, tearing a huge wound to the waist and abdomen of the snake monster. The flying flames and the rolling smoke were like the scattered meat and blood sputtered from the snake monster's body, dyeing a large area of the sea.
The Spanish people who observed this naval battle from the perspective of bystanders were stunned and frightened by everything in front of them. Brigadier General Jero, the commander of the Spanish Chilean colonial fleet, couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest, looking at the Eastern Iron Craft ship rushing across the sea far away. In his eyes, it was as frightened as the three-headed Pluto dog in hell.
The extremely terrifying destructive power, the outrageous defensive performance, and the terrifying maneuver power that moves freely on the sea whether it is headwind or downwind. This strange oriental warship brought too much incredible and shock to the commander.
The heart of the governor Castilla was like being tightly held by a demon's big hand, and his mind almost solidified when the earth-shattering first shot exploded. In his cognition, perhaps apart from a volcanic eruption, the miracle of nature could be comparable to the explosion seen in front of him.
"The Americans have been defeated..." More than an hour later, Brigadier General Jero looked at the sea surface that seemed to have been covered by flames and smoke, and sighed deeply.
The governor-General, who stood beside him, nodded silently. At this moment, the expeditionary fleet of the United States of America had lost its formation and was besieged by the Eastern fleet that had the advantage in number. Although they were still fighting stubbornly, the collapse was already revealed. The final defeat was only a matter of time.
"If there was no that squadron, no, it should be that without the terrible warship that seemed to never sink, the victory of the war would be likely to be rewritten." Brigadier General Jero stared at the black iron-clad ship that was lingering in the smoke and fire, almost gritting his teeth and speaking. What appeared on his face was greed and possession that penetrated his bone marrow.
"If we have such a warship in Spain..." The Governor General Castilla was almost dripping with saliva. But when he said this, Brigadier General Jero's eyes lit up. "Yes, if we Spain have such an invincible warship that is as strong as a fortress, then the so-called invincible fleet of the British, our Spain is not without a single force."
"Dear General, what do you mean..." Castilla looked at the brigade general who was nearly one head taller than him in amazement.
"I think we don't have to watch it anymore. Everything that happened before is enough to prove the terrible strength our dear Eastern allies possess, not just in quantity." Brigadier General Jero took a deep breath, stretched out his finger and pointed his forehead, which was meaningful.
Castilla soon understood the meaning of the brigade general, and a smile of excitement appeared on his face: "Yes, dear general, what you said is really right. This is the New World. The navy of the United States of America has failed, but they still have a strong army. As long as we can pay enough to help our Eastern allies, I believe that the husband of our dear eldest princess, the emperor of the East, will definitely make a wise choice."
The naval battle lasted from 10 am to 5 pm. When the daylight turned dark, it ended with the crushing defeat of the United States of America Expeditionary Fleet. The warships that were able to escape from the battlefield and return to the United States of America only accounted for one fifth of the total number of the expeditionary fleet. The remaining warships either sank into the depths of the sea or became the trophy of the Orientals, and included about 5,400 American naval officers and soldiers. None of the third-level and second-level battleships could return to the east coast of the New World.
After this battle, the steel-made super-age warship gradually showed its hideous face and reputation, becoming a new thing that the whole world is concerned about. Its maiden battle symbolizes the end of an era and the arrival of a brand new era of navigation - the arrival of the Iron Craft Age!
While Western countries strive to catch up with the pace of the Eastern Empire in the development of ironclad ships, the Pacific has become the maritime back garden of this huge empire under decades of operation under the Chinese Empire, which has the advantages of advanced weapons and equipment...
In the Battle of Chiloe Island, the failure of the United States of America's expeditionary fleet could not be transmitted back to Philadelphia, the current capital of the United States of America, in a short time. It is precisely for this reason that the United States of America continued to persist in investing a large amount of manpower and material resources into this war that was doomed at the beginning...
"...I will never forget such a scene in my life. Countless companions fell down from my side. Their strong bodies had no power to resist in front of the terrible weapons of war. They were easily torn to pieces like paper men, and the terrible artillery fire like nightmare... That was the first time I had seen the horror of the Eastern Devil. Yes, I swear in the name of God that if I had known the true strength of the Eastern people before, I would rather violate the order than be involved in this war that had left me without my life freedom for nearly ten years." A captain of the United States Fleet of the United States who had been imprisoned in a miner's prisoner of war camp wrote in his diary.
In the third year after the Sino-US naval battle on Chiloe and the third year after the Shoshone Annihilation War, those powerful Orientals joined forces with the Yindians to drive the United States of America's army and colonists back to the territory of the United States of America's initial founding, the founding father of the United States of America and the drafter of the Declaration of Independence, because of his expansionism, he strongly supported the United States of America to fight to expand national territory, and called on the people to fight an unprecedented territorial battle with the Chinese Empire on the New World for the future of the United States of America. In the presidential election a year ago, he defeated John Adams, who had a milder political tendency, and became the second president of the United States of America, Thomas Jefferson, the second president of the United States of America, and announced his resignation from the presidency.
John Adams, who lost to Jefferson in the presidential election, was elected as the third president of the United States of America. On the day of the president's inauguration, there was a passage that was deeply remembered by the world in his inauguration speech.
