1890 King of Southeast Asia

"The ram entered the Nebraska from the left rear, and the Nebraska lost power on the spot. It has been confirmed that the ram caused structural damage to the Nebraska, causing the main shaft to bend and scrap. The ship is no longer valuable." Zhao Jiaxing said excitedly.

"Six of our people were slightly injured, and 73 of the US were injured. No one has died so far. The injured have been properly settled. The Nebraska has been towed back to the port and surveying is underway." Gu Fan added.

It is already the 17th, and the collision "accident" has occurred for more than a day and a night.

"At that time, reporters from five countries witnessed it with their own eyes. This was a collision accident caused by improper avoidance by the US side. The US ambassador protested three times in a row, but did not take any further action." Lin Anmin looked at Jiang Wang.

More first-hand information must be in Jiang Wang's hands.

As for the definition of this incident, Nanhua defined it as a sudden "accident". The US warship invaded Nanhua's territorial waters without reason, causing the Zheng He training ship to join the expulsion team. Under high-intensity work, the Zheng He training ship had a mechanical failure and lost control. Then the US personnel operated improperly and hit another Nanhua training ship, causing the two Nanhua training ships to be scrapped.

(This is also one of the few ramming cruisers in Nanhua, and it is really used as a teaching aid in the Naval Academy.)

"How is the Japanese side? Is there a reply?" Liu Yiming nodded expressionlessly. A pre-dreadnought can not cause much damage to the Americans.

First, a tough attitude must be expressed to the Americans, and second, the strength of the US West Coast Fleet must be weakened.

The American fleet is mainly concentrated on the East Coast, that is, the Atlantic Fleet. After all, the center of the world is in Europe. There are only a few coastal ironclad ships and a few newly assigned pre-dreadnoughts on the West Coast.

If you want to withdraw troops from the east coast to the west coast, at this stage when the Panama Canal has not yet been opened, you must go around half of North America and the entire South America. The entire voyage is 20,000 kilometers, which can tie the record of the Russian Second Fleet in the Pacific Expedition.

If the Americans choose to withdraw the East Coast Fleet on a large scale, Liu Yiming will immediately attack and deal with the Japanese Navy at all costs, and then rush to the west coast of the United States.

As for how much loss will it suffer to deal with the Japanese Navy, whose paper strength is 70% of Nanhua? It has been said that the attack will be a surprise attack. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese going south, to mobilize torpedo boats and destroyers, use the main fleet as bait, and use wolf pack tactics once the war starts.

The speed of Japanese warships is slower than that of Nanhua, and the armor is not as thick as that of Nanhua. Nanhua’s losses may be considerable, but they are by no means unbearable.

The disadvantage of this tactic is that it cannot be used in the open sea, it can only be used for defense, and both torpedo boats and destroyers must be operated by warriors.

"The Japanese side is still silent and has not responded to us." Lin Anmin shook his head.

"However, the Japanese Navy ended its scattered patrols this afternoon and retreated into the high seas as a whole. It should be afraid that we would use this method to deal with them." Gu Fan said.

"This tactic is actually quite useful. I think we can build some high-speed impact ships, try to be simple, reduce personnel deployment, and be very useful in peacetime." Zhao Jiaxing fell in love with this feeling.

Take a look at the battle report! Two old ships with a total of more than 2,000 tons and a service life of more than 20 years were replaced by a battleship with a full load tonnage of nearly 15,000 tons that has been in service for one year.

In fact, the Zheng He training ship can still be repaired and used, but there is a "mechanical problem" with the steering gear, which can be replaced.

"You can study it yourself, but the next ten years will still be the era of giant ships and cannons. Don't put the cart before the horse." This kind of thing is only useful for the first time, and at other times it can only be used to disgust people.

After all, ramming a cruiser is also a military weapon. This time, in order to show that this was an "accident", Li Jin specially invited reporters from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Portugal.

Most of them were unhappy people who were exiled to the barren land of Hawaii, except for the Portuguese.

It was not easy to catch an international hot spot, and Liu Yiming believed that their writing would be very good.

No matter whether their butts were crooked or not, as long as two of them wrote that the accident occurred in the territorial waters of Nanhua, that would be enough.

And according to their competitive nature, if someone did not write it, then the next issue of his competitor's newspaper would definitely write about this matter in detail and accuse them of being unfair.

"We want to know the Americans' subsequent actions so that we can respond." Seeing that the topic was a little off, Lin Anmin pulled it back in time.

Liu Yiming looked at Jiang Wang.

"Hey! We monitored every base on the east coast of the United States. As of 12 noon today, which is the night in the United States, a total of 23 warships have left the port and have not returned in a month, and only three of them are over 5,000 tons." Jiang Wang was a little suspicious when he heard this information.

Even if there was no action before, it has been more than a day now, and the Americans have not taken any action, which is even more abnormal.

What he didn't know was that Taft urgently held a closed-door meeting and proposed to mobilize the navy to join Japan in the war against South China, but was rejected by the Speaker.

...

"I don't understand the navy, but I understand data. If you want to go from the East Coast to Southeast Asia, you believe it or not. Today you submit the war motion to Congress. Tomorrow you will become the first president to be impeached." His eyes looked at the Tava.

"American warships are attacked. This is a war behavior! If we do nothing, it will become the first president to be impeached!" Tafa answered toughly.

"No! This is just a misunderstanding, a mechanical accident, we regret it, but we can't start a war on the grounds of the accident, unless we can win." Speaker suddenly found that President President is actually good.

At least they know how to review the situation, rather than this stubborn doctoral doctor.

"People will not believe ..." After a long time, Tafa said unwillingly.

What is unwilling is that the navy does not support him.

Nonsense, some people send you a wind meal for three months to send to death. Do you go? And there is no supply point after leaving the Americas. Russian examples are placing there!

"They can believe it, as long as they tell them that this is a fault, the damn businessman cuts the materials, the damn Indian or Irish workers are lazy and cause the mechanical accuracy. Then find any hotspots, they will soon forget this!"

"Hope like this ..."

Soon, the Speaker had to be fortunate to have his own decision, because a few days later, the Hawaii appeared four hundred nautical miles outside the west coast and drove around from south to north.

"The current form is not very clear. Each department cannot take it lightly, especially the intelligence department to accelerate the penetration of all countries, and this unexpected situation can no longer occur!" Liu Yiming looked at Jiang Wang.

"yes!"

"How is the patrol fleet gathered?" Liu Yiming turned to look at Gu Fan.

"The three -level three -level ships are standing. As for the Lanling -class cruiser, there are only Guangling and Yiling, and the Wuling is ready to attack." Gu Fan said.

"Let them move, dare not fight, and reluctant, they want to blackmail, this farce cannot continue.

It happened, one large belt, one small, from the east of Ryukyu to the north, and went to Japan to show off the sea. "
