Chapter 412: Strategic Realignment
(I haven't finished writing yet, refresh after an hour)
In addition to maintaining and supplying supplies, the Spanish fleet in Bermuda has also done one thing, and that is to release more than a thousand American sailors who intercepted and detained merchant ships.
And these released crew members were quickly picked up by passing ships.
At the same time, it let the United States know the exact news of the departure of the Spanish fleet, which also gave the United States a sigh of relief.
Foreign trade on the east coast of the United States came to a standstill because the Spanish fleet did not show up. Ships are refusing to go to sea to transport goods, and residents of port cities are even more afraid to return home. The few days of this Spanish fleet attack completely paralyzed the maritime trade network on the east coast, and the loss was not small at all.
In addition, with the return of these detained personnel, the missing ships also have a provenance, which has intensified the American public's concerns about the Spanish fleet.
And these pressures were passed on, and finally fell on the head of Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt (the former Secretary of the Navy John Long died a week ago).
In the face of this heavy pressure, the Roosevelt Secretary also needed to convene everyone to study countermeasures.
In the conference room of the battleship USS Indiana, the U.S. Navy held its first emergency meeting since the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. They need to adjust their strategy to deal with a possible recurrence.
"Gentlemen, the U.S. Navy has suffered the worst losses in history, and I think everyone knows the details. Now who can tell me what we should do next. We can't let the Spaniards go on like this, we must Win the war." Roosevelt said angrily.
"Now we must first determine the position of the Spanish fleet, and we must prevent it from going north again. I suggest that in Bermuda, send a reconnaissance ship and watch it at any time."
Brigadier General Dewey, who previously served as the commander of the Asian Fleet and had to rush back to China with the fleet because Germany purchased the Philippines, was the first to give a suggestion, and this suggestion would also be made by any officer.
"Very good, this suggestion is very good, is there any other way?" Roosevelt continued to ask the other commanders present.
"The Spaniards attacked ports and shipyards only for one purpose, to weaken our navy, to defeat us in a decisive naval battle, and to preserve the West Indies. For the Spanish fleet, far from home, a long time Cruising on the eastern coast doesn't make much military sense, sooner or later they will come to Cuba, to Santiago!
Here we can lay out a pocket and wait for the arrival of the Spanish fleet. Of course, we need to concentrate our fleet as much as possible and send more informers. Because, we need to grasp the movements of the Spanish fleet as much as possible, because its fleet is faster than ours. "Major General Samplin laid out his plans.
"Oh, how do you say it?"
Seeing that the Minister was very interested, Major General Sampling continued. "In my opinion, in fact, our country and Spain are very close in terms of naval strength. It can even be said that there is still a little gap between our country on the main battleship."
Yes, in the view of Major General Samplin, the neglect of speed in the construction of Indiana-class battleships has resulted in such a passive situation today.
The speed of 15 knots made the three Indiana-class battleships useless.
This bitter fruit was so conspicuous in the war that now the US Navy needs to taste it.
"The most important thing for us now is that we need the support of intelligence. We must get the exact information of the Spanish fleet, otherwise it will be such a slow-moving situation."
It was obvious that Rear Admiral Sampling was throwing the blame, but the slow speed of the battleship did limit the U.S. Navy's performance.

Of course, who knows, it's all because of Italy
