The rapid defeat of the New Mexico not only shocked Sims, but also shocked Yang Yonglin. After many naval battles, Yang Yonglin was accustomed to solving opponents through long-term artillery battles. He had never fought in one battle.

So neat! In just ten minutes, the New Mexico

It was hit hard! Is the Longwu too powerful? Before this, when Yang Yonglin analyzed New Mexico, he thought that the opponent only had more than 80% of the combat power of the Longwu, but he didn't know whether the Americans were too bad or were being targeted.

, the New Mexico was defeated so simply! It was unexpected!

As seawater poured in and the fire spread, the New Mexico not only slowed down, but its firepower also decreased. Why? The flames began to spread to the power supply room. In order to prevent further losses, the Americans closed some of the power supply rooms. In this way,

The New Mexico's bow main gun was no longer operational.

Sims lost his mind in an instant. The failure came too suddenly and completely defeated him. At the same time, he had never experienced a war, so he was a little at a loss in the face of such a complicated situation. He was really good at fire control.

I understand, but when it comes to adapting to circumstances, it is definitely not as good as Ma Jifen.

The Americans opened fire first, but at this moment, the choice of whether to continue the fight lies with China. After a brief thought, Yang Yonglin thought that since the fight had begun, it was better to continue the fight! Whether it was sunk or wounded, it actually didn't matter.

Parted. But just

While Yang Yonglin continued to prepare for the attack, a clear telegram finally stopped everything. This telegram was sent by Zhang Xiang, and was later called the most important telegram in the world so far, because it avoided two

A war between great powers!

Just after the New Mexico and the Longwu began to shoot each other, Zhang Xiang's destroyer was also avoiding the opponent's attack. At this time, there was a mess near Saipan. If you can't beat it here, then run away first. But

This guy still has a good sense of the overall situation. At this moment, he suddenly found a long dolphin-like thing diving into the sea. He quickly realized that this should be

It was a torpedo, and then he realized that it was probably a torpedo fired by the submarine that had just attacked the American transport ship. In this case, he believed that this was the key to resolving the conflict between the two sides! He quickly sent a clear message to the United States

The fleet reported and communicated simultaneously using semaphores, first explaining that the attacker was definitely not the Chinese fleet. Then they said they had found a torpedo that did not explode!

At first, George Brown ignored him. Just when he was about to order an attack on the Chinese warships, Nimitz stopped him. And he thought what if he just took a look at it when he had an absolute advantage? So the two sides quickly lowered their boats.

Heading towards the stranded torpedo on the beach. Zhang Xiang went into battle himself, while over there Nimitz went up with several torpedo experts.

Then, a strange scene occurred. When the Longwu and the New Mexico were fighting to the death, Zhang Xiang and Nimitz, two people who should never be together, actually jumped out of the boat to inspect the torpedoes.

The two sides walked to the torpedo. Without even looking carefully, they were sure that this was definitely not a torpedo from the Chinese Navy! It was also not a torpedo from the U.S. Navy! This was definitely a British torpedo!

The situation is very simple. The diameter of this torpedo is much smaller than that of the Chinese Navy. Almost all submarine-launched torpedoes of the Chinese Navy are 500mm class. This torpedo should be 18 inches, which is 457mm in diameter. At the same time, this torpedo is

It launches torpedoes better than the U.S. submarine launches

The torpedoes are much longer. Although the American mk4 and mk6 torpedoes are also 457mm, they only weigh 600 to 700 kilograms and have a range of only 1 to 4km (speeds vary. The lowest is 27 knots and the highest is 40 knots) and the charge is less than 100kg.

The weight of this torpedo is at least 1.5 tons. Obviously, this is an American ship attacked by a third country, and it is easier to think that this is a means of framing the blame! At this time, the torpedo experts brought by Nimitz

I quickly recognized the model of this torpedo. This torpedo should be the mkvi torpedo that the British Navy served before the war! At that time, the two sides

I was confused. After a long dispute, China and the United States were tricked by the British. At this time, the fleets of both sides were still fighting in the distance! As a result, Zhang Xiang and Nimitz quickly requested to send a report to the main fleets of both sides.

Report this matter. And it was precisely because of this telegram that the fate of the New Mexico was saved and the conflict between the two powers was not worsened.

After confirming the telegram, Yang Yonglin immediately ordered the fleet to stop shooting. After receiving the telegram, Sims also ordered the fleet to stop shooting. The two sides, who were fighting in full swing a minute ago, immediately became quiet in a short period of time. On the other side,

The Chinese Navy and the U.S. Navy were rescuing people who fell into the water and conducting anti-submarine operations at the same time. Because they did not understand the hydrological environment, and the two sides had never cooperated, the Japanese were moving very fast. So naturally there would be no results.

At this time, after a brief shock, Yang Yonglin and Sims believed that it was necessary to establish the ultimate level of mutual trust, so both sides issued orders to the fleet to cease hostility to each other, while trying to determine the next action plan through contact.

After some negotiations, the Chinese Navy agreed to negotiate on board the American warship, with the deputy participating of course. Deng Shichang would represent the Chinese Navy in talks with Sims to decide what to do next.

"Our warships have suffered serious losses, and our personnel have also suffered casualties. These are things that should have been avoided. I hope the Chinese Navy can provide necessary help to my fleet, such as power and supplies." Even the polite words are polite.

No, Sims first

He put forward his request. As the flagship of the US fleet, it was destroyed in a few rounds. This is really sad. It would be even more embarrassing if it sinks because of this matter. When they met, Sims

His mind was filled with the matter of saving the Mexico.

"These should be discussed between your adjutant and my adjutant. The highest-ranking official handling this matter should not be a colonel! You and I are both lieutenant generals. What we need to discuss now is how to make the guy who instigated the conflict between the two great powers pay.

The price, what needs to be discussed is how to capture this submarine and their accomplices

Come out instead of thinking about rescue. We are soldiers and warriors! Destroying the opponent is the first priority!" After hearing Sims's words, Deng Shichang's first feeling was that this guy is really not suitable to be a general! Put this thing aside

Clarifying things is the root of all problems, not saving a battleship!

And this sentence shocked the U.S. Navy as much as the battle just now. If after experiencing the battle just now, the U.S. Navy had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy, then now they know the difference between the two sides.

What a gap! Just now, the US Navy personnel were like persimmons beaten by frost, but now what should I say? Like persimmons beaten by hail, they were completely cowed!

After more information was sent, the two sides began to analyze what happened. They have determined that this incident was a despicable act that was premeditated and aimed at provoking conflict between China and the United States.

!But no one believes that this thing was actually done by the British

, the reason is very simple, this torpedo belongs to the British! There are fewer countries in the world that can independently produce torpedoes than countries that have dreadnoughts! American torpedo experts will never admit it! Although all the marks on it have been erased.

The appearance will not change, Americans can even recognize the model of this torpedo!

This matter suddenly became complicated. Neither party could clearly see the hidden problems in it. At the same time, they did not dare to express their opinions on this issue, because if their views on the matter were slightly deviated, huge consequences would occur after they reached the center.

Trouble. Especially this matter is related to Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets! But it is obviously not possible to wait for orders from above, because we don’t know how many submarines the other party has in this sea area!

"How did you mobilize your fleet?" Deng Shichang suddenly asked.

"I ordered them to assemble towards Saipan. Of course, please rest assured that we will never take any hostile actions. This is already a misunderstanding." Sims said carefully while avoiding the other party's eyes.

"We need to search for these damn submarines on a larger scale. We have ordered all Chinese Navy submarines to surface and return to the military port. New professional anti-submarine destroyers will come to nearby waters. Submarines have very poor maneuverability underwater and have poor endurance.

limited, they will definitely float on the water.

At any time, as long as it is not a Chinese or American submarine, we will detain it and directly sink it if there is resistance! We will also search all ships sailing on the sea, because surface ships can provide supplies for submarines! I think you should

You understand what I mean." Deng Shichang shook his head and said helplessly.

"I understand that we will immediately send more destroyers and anti-submarine ships to pull these despicable guys out of the sea! But I think we still need a more powerful warship to tow the New Mexico. You know, it is in the United States

Our position in the navy is extraordinary. In addition, we will protect all ports and warn the British!" Sims immediately added.

"Warning the British is not something we can do. This needs to be done by the government. At the same time, in order to prevent new misunderstandings between the two sides, we need to stipulate new frequency bands for communication and arrange liaison officers for each squadron. At the same time, we need to step up monitoring in the maritime areas.

Conduct deployment and control of all ships that appear. The other party's actions are so big, sooner or later they will be exposed, and there is another

The point is, if we want to block the news, we must make those behind the scenes think that we are still in confrontation rather than cooperation. Only then will they relax and we can take advantage of it!" Deng Shichang finally emphasized the importance of confidentiality again. Now except Huaxia

Neither the United States nor other countries can be trusted. It would be bad if the news leaked out!
