Chapter 1410: Transfer back to the fleet

The last 250 incendiary bombs were extremely powerful. The shipyard, which had been destroyed, continued to ignite a fire. In the dark, the fires soared into the sky. The demilitarized shipyard had no exercises to be attacked by battleships, and it became a Shura field again.

The telegram crossed more than 100 kilometers through a wired network, and was in a hurry to New York, Washington, White House, and President Wilson had just finished talking to financial experts. They had already made a simple plan. As long as the funds were in place, they could save the market. In the least, they could also save the bad situation. This made the string that had been tightened a little loose. With the help of the allies, New York was attacked and the financial storm had expanded without limit. The United States, which had no experience in dealing with this situation, was crossing the river by feeling the stones. Fortunately, it had a general solution.

After rubbing his tired face, Wilson was about to contact the military to inquire about the results of the four emperor-level pursuits. Although the military had clearly told him that within three days, if there was no news, the other party had already hid in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. It would be very difficult to find them, but Wilson still did not let go of his last hope. Even if that was the case, the culprit that caused the current storm to the United States must be taught a lesson.

However, before Wilson asked the military, a military phone call came from the secret line. The chairman of the joint meeting once again told President Wilson about a bad news. Just half an hour ago, four emperor-level ships appeared again, right next to New York, but did not crash into the big encirclement of New York, but instead attacked Philadelphia in the chaos.

Philadelphia, Wilson was shocked. If Philadelphia was the largest coastal city on the east coast of the United States, except for New York and Washington, Philadelphia was probably the largest coastal city. But instead, he understood that Philadelphia was too far from the sea, so the opponent's warships would definitely not be able to enter the inland river. This means that only the Philadelphia Shipyard can attack.

As a shipyard near the harbor inland rivers, the Philadelphia Shipyard is not very famous in the United States and is kept secret as a military unit. Such a target was attacked. If it were other battleships, it might not even be able to break through its external defense. However, this is the emperor-level, the emperor-level, New York and Wall Street, who just caused boundless blood debts in New York, almost used his losses to prove the emperor-level crazy ground attack ability to the world. There is no doubt about this.

Next, the most important thing about Wilson was the loss. The military representative's words were slightly solemn, and a little sadly reported a simple number. Three heavy patrols were sunk, two heavy patrols were severely damaged, and 49 ships were sunk below light patrols, destroyers, torpedo boats and other large ships were sunk and 17 were injured. These were all fixed forces in Philadelphia, but even Wilson was moved by the subsequent losses. Except for the few heavy patrols, the other losses in front played little role in the naval war. With the strong shipbuilding capabilities of the United States, it may take three to five months to make up for it.

But the final figure cannot be ignored. On the Philadelphia Shipyard's shipyard, there are 6 battleships, 12 heavy patrols, and many other ships. No matter what manufacturing conditions are, they are all destroyed. The entire Philadelphia Shipyard suffered a sudden attack. Not only are there huge losses in various equipment and personnel, but there are also fires burning and almost been destroyed.

After hanging up the phone, Wilson sat there for a long time, unable to say a word. The Battle of Philadelphia was beyond everyone's expectations, but the losses were so great that it was shocking. In about a week, the ports in the United States were attacked twice. This time, the attack in Philadelphia was not as big as New York, but the military was more terrifying than New York. New York is a commercial port, which can be condemned or said that he was not prepared. However, after New York was attacked, in less than a week, a military port with perfect defense, including land-based turrets, sea warships, and even more than 100,000 defenders were stationed. Such a strong defense military port was still attacked, destroying most of the docks, equipment, personnel, and six main ships that were being built in the sect.

In a sense, the six main battleships are the biggest losses in the Philadelphia shipyard. This is the Queen Elizabeth class. If there is no Fantasy class, it will be the first perfect class battleship, representing the greatest achievement of Britain on the battleship, the speed of the battleship, the protection of the battleship, and the super firepower. From then on, there will be no obvious boundary between the battleship and the battleship. In addition, it was before the treaty ship, and even in the next 20 years, it will be considered one of the top battleships.

According to the original history, it may take decades before the United States was considered to have caught up with the gap with Britain before World War II with the help of the restrictions of the treaty. However, in this time and space, because of the emergence of China, it supported Germany behind the scenes. In order to allow the United States to participate in the war in advance, the British spent a lot of money. Various advanced naval knowledge were supplemented almost without any omissions, allowing the United States to exert its industrial strength to the extreme. The shipbuilding industry, especially the construction of main ships, directly saved the United States 20 years.

28 warships were started at the same time, which is the advantage of the United States and an important part of the future naval war. As long as these warships are launched and put into service one after another, for the United States, the naval warfare is almost over for the Allies. Of course, this is just what the Allies think. They never counted China in the naval warfare. They thought that China was still the former Beiyang Navy. In Asia and Southeast Asia, their actions were almost all relied on the Sher fleet. However, New York's attack was like a blow, giving them a profound lesson. China not only has the strength of the ocean, but also has a not-so-low-minded naval warfare. The four ships are definitely not all of China. So how many main battleships do China have? What would happen if all of these main battleships arrived here?

The most important thing is that the attack on Philadelphia represents not only more sudden and more precise, but also means that on the East Coast of the United States, where powerful warships such as the emperor level are active, all ports may become the targets of Chinese ships' attacks. None of them, how to defend this.

At this time, the Americans truly understood why Britain had to grit their teeth and support such a huge fleet. Even if they never create benefits, the military expenditure spent every year was astronomical. He probably only responded to such an attack. Facing an attack like mercury, only battleships could provide them with sufficient security and shock attackers coming here through quick response. Otherwise, they would have been able to be passively beaten. The United States would not have enough defense for every port, so mobilizing warships to return will become an inevitable choice.

At present, the United States may only have more than 20 front dreadnoughts, and two main ships that have just been launched and have not completed all the makeup and sea test work. The latter, the Americans cannot let them be dispatched, so if they are sent, they can only be an emperor-level target.

Next, for the Americans, there is only one way to go, and they can only be transferred back from the UK. All the main battleships of the United States were supported by the UK. In order to cope with the increasing pressure on the English Channel and Germany, but now, even the United States has no way to guarantee that how can the warships remain outside? They must be taken back as soon as possible.

The United States finally had to make a request to the British side. After all, although the warships belong to Americans, they are managed by the Allies. Besides, they cannot be said to come back and come back. The British side must cooperate. Otherwise, it would be absolutely a waste if the American warships leave the port alone. As long as Germany pursues and Britain does not support them, these warships are not opponents of Germany at all. They have no other effect except to cause a large number of results to the German side.

The British can be said to be clear about the situation of the Americans. In their hearts, they were not willing to let the Americans go back. However, China's activities on the entire East Coast of North America did make things very difficult. Wall Street suffered huge losses. They knew this. However, the commercial losses at that time had no direct impact on the military. However, the attack on Philadelphia was a military loss. A large warship construction base could not be restored in at least half a year or more. Many warships of more than 7 cities and a heavy patrol of ten thousand tons were destroyed on the ship platform. This was a severe blow to them. They really could not withstand such a blow. There were only 4 ships. Even at the level of the emperor, they mobilized 12 main battleships and cooperated with the current American warships, which should be enough to deal with them. They had caused such a killing in the North Atlantic. It was absolutely impossible for them to escape.

The British side supported the Americans with practical actions. Not only did he supply American warships and equip soldiers, and even some areas that were lacking, he also added British soldiers. All the local fleets set out to cover the return of the American fleet. This is a very dangerous behavior. If the German side knew about the actions of the United States and Britain, they would be really in trouble once they sent a fleet to follow.

Although Germany had thought that the United States would mobilize the fleet back at this time, it did not expect that it would be so quick and resolute. The attack on the Philadelphia shipyard had not been reported yet, and there was no news in China, let alone Germany. In this way, Germany missed the best opportunity to control the sea.

After leaving the port, the Allied Fleet wandered slightly in the English Channel by patrol, and then turned west. Among them, 12 main battleships and some escort fleets separated from the main force, while the remaining British fleet returned. The separation was 300 nautical miles away from the UK. In the depths of the sea, when Germany discovered that the Allied Fleet had lost 12 main fleets, the fleet had already penetrated more than 500 nautical miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Even if the Germans wanted to chase them, they could not catch up. (To be continued.)
