During the Spanish-American War, the torpedo used by the Spanish fleet turned out to be German goods. What was going on?

The most important thing is, how do you know this?

It is very surprising. Anyone who hears the process of discovering the origin of the torpedo will feel unexpected because it is what the torpedo tells us by itself!

It says, ‘Made in Germany’!

That's before, the Spanish fleet surrendered, so of course we had to disarm our weapons. The navy of the American Empire boarded the ship to count the spoils, and those torpedoes were of course the focus.

As a result, it was found that some places on these torpedoes were scraped, and there should have been words in those places.

Yes, the rules of origin!

Most of the torpedoes are scraped off, but there are a few that are not clean and can be seen, and it turns out that what that means.

Obviously, the Spanish's work is very careless and can be said to be careless.

Indeed, it was produced in Germany. These torpedoes have clearly told us that the reason why they are marked as origin is obviously that the German Empire is not small in their goal, and they want to trade arms.

From this point of view, the old alcoholic Eriksen figured it out that the Spanish fleet are guinea pigs. They are just testing weapons for those German guys. Their tactics obviously show that there are many disadvantages of this torpedo.

The range is probably very short, but these guys may be very smart, that is, they set the torpedo to be self-destructive. Anyway... there will be some experiments in the future to find out about the specific things.

But...will these torpedoes be the support of Campos?

Eriksen has a basis for thinking this way, otherwise what else could the Spanish rely on? Do they still hope that the German Empire can help them at critical moments?

Obviously, there are probably many political conspiracies in it, such as the influence of the German Empire on Spain. But these are not what the old alcoholic Eriksen is good at.

The Spanish-American War at sea lasted for two or three hours, and it should be over. Isn’t that Carlos still an admiral?

So, are we here to help the Cuban people become independent?

...

Boom! Boom!

In the southeast of Cuba, you can see Jamaica and Haiti across the sea. This place has a name called Guantanamo!

This place is so good. Li Mengyang is really familiar with it. To be honest, before the Spanish-American War started, he was not clear about the situation here. When he heard the name, it aroused his interest, and he was able to figure out what was going on in Cuba.

Simply put, Guantanamo is not a territory of the United States, and it is still a place for Cuba, but the Cuban independence movement led by Cespedes failed to be completely successful because of this place!

That is, the failure to completely eliminate Spanish forces in Cuba is very related to this place. It should be said that it has something to do with the place south of this place, which is Jamaica and Haiti!

Jamaica is now controlled by the British, while Haiti is now controlled by the French. Then you can understand it by looking at it!

Obviously, the Spanish's activities in Cuba were helped by Britain and France. The purpose of this help is to make money on the one hand, and to leave a hole in this place, which can interfere with some things in the American Empire!

The key is that this matter is done very well, because Britain and France did not come forward directly, and Cuba is not the United States, although this island country is not as close as the United States.

The most important thing is that there are Spanish who are used as gun envoys for Britain and France!

Anyway, it’s not us British and French who die, but you Spanish. How great is it?

Therefore, this guy Cespedes is not so incapable. He is really tired of dealing with these three families.

But now that our American Empire has arrived, the Cuba strategy plan formulated by Li Mengyang naturally cannot ignore this!

"Comrades! Once logged in, you need to expand quickly!"

"Don't be afraid! God is with you!"

"The great emperor is watching us! Come on! Go and win glorious victory!"

Just in the middle of the American Empire Expeditionary Fleet, there were some strange ships. These were not big and had a very simple structure, just like those of barges, but they all had their own power, and the hull was not flat, surrounded by steel armor.

Take the beach landing ship!

Anyway, it's just this name, and it is said that it was painted by the great emperor, so there should be no problem, right?

"Rare! Don't be afraid! Pay attention to discipline! Everyone should pay attention to our formation! Three-three system! OK? No one can run around!"

“yes-private!”

Among these landing ships, one of them was Arthur MacArthur's troops!

It is important to pay attention to discipline, which is something that must be done in the army, and the more combat-effective the troops are, the more they are. MacArthur understands this deeply.

"It's here! Come on!"

The naval soldier who was driving the ship roared and then felt a severe shock!

The landing ship rushed directly to Guantanamo's beach, and then...

Boom! Boom...

The Spanish army's shells began to pour onto the beach, and many shells also hit the sea!

With a loud bang, the front baffle was put down!

"Run!"

"Kill!"

"For the Empire!"

The vanguard, like a wolf and a tiger, and the 1,000 Imperial Expeditionary Force snatched the beach, and the company led by MacArthur took the lead!

Rumble! Rumble!

On the distant sea, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was fully fired. They were doing firepower for the landing troops, and they wanted to suppress the artillery fire of the Spanish army. Soon, there was less sand and stone flying on the beach.

In terms of range and power, the Spanish army's artillery is obviously not an opponent of the Imperial Army!

"Quick! Take the slope in front! Build a position!"

"Run!"

Although there were only 1,000 people, the progress was very fast and he quickly succeeded in Guantanamo.

...

"We have to charge!"

General Campos on Guantanamo's Spanish position, holding a telescope and looking at the beach, made such an order.

Why charge?

It's very simple. The Spanish military artillery is suffering a serious loss now. So under the artillery of the American Empire, the opponent's landing troops can easily advance quickly. So aren't you just going to fight a land war?

It is best to attack halfway through, and it is the knowledge that most people have, that is, the opponent has not yet established a firm foothold, and it is best to drive the opponent into the sea. In addition, if you charge, the Spanish army will be mixed with the American Imperial Army, and the opponent's artillery cannot be fired!

Another key factor is that the Spanish army did not build any fortifications in Guantanamo at all. They just dug some simple trenches!

Campos is not a fool. He has heard of the weapons, mortars and grenades of the American Empire. These things can pose a threat to the trenches. Besides, the trenches on his side were also very shallow. The reason was that they had never expected the American Empire to land here before!

This judgment is normal, because in Cuba, Cespedes still owns Havana, and the most comfortable landing place in the American Empire should be there. Who would have thought that they came directly to the back...

This is the analgesic tactic that Li Mengyang is proud of!

I'll give you a moment from behind, and cut off your Spanish's aid, hehe...

Then, it seems that there is only one who can rush. If not, those who wait for the Spaniards will fail, so.

"Ahhhh!"

"God bless!"

The Spanish army, who shouted various slogans, launched a charge, and after experiencing the baptism of the American Empire's navy, they really came to the front of the landing troops!

"Ha! These idiots!" MacArthur was so happy when he saw it. He really admired the other coach, so stupid that people like it!

"Give me a fight!"

Just listening to the buzzing position here...

Those who are familiar with the Imperial American Army will remember that this is the sound of their famous Gatling machine gun, but...

Isn’t someone going to pedal? Provide electricity!

And now, they have just logged in, how could they get the pedaling equipment?

Now... there is no need to pedal!

Just listen, twelve! twelve...

The Spanish troops fell on the road to charge, and this scene was so scary that they directly caused the Spanish behind to collapse and go back!

Why don't you need to pedal?

There is a battery!

Yes, Edison's invention, this thing was used on the Gatling machine gun, which made many people no longer have to practice their thighs!

In the past, when we were fighting, we specially trained a group of black people to pedal the bike. These people had good explosive power. Anyway, the Gatling machine gun could not be fired for too long. In order to better complete this task, these black people usually practiced desperately, but now... they are liberated.

"God!"

When he saw the crowds of people being knocked down and the crowds of people running back, Campos, the commander of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, was stunned!

I only heard of it before, and only after the real fight did I realize the horror of my opponent. Campos was so tough before, on the one hand, because he felt that his navy had torpedoes, and on the other hand, that was the army, and he didn't believe that the American Empire was so strong.

The Frenchman lost in Mexico, so they helped the American Empire for a while, but the Spanish felt that you French might be blowing, and now...

In the Battle of Guantanamo, the Spanish Expeditionary Force suffered 5,000 casualties and 3,000 casualties. Campos announced a peace talks with the American Empire in this battle!

To put it bluntly, I had a fight and was directly scared to pee.

The entire Spanish-American War was prepared for half a year, whether in terms of public opinion or other aspects, but it was really started, and counted in total, it was 0.3 hours a day...

Before I could exert my strength, you fell down!

This is Li Mengyang's mental state at this time, but... he doesn't hit the smiley person. Spain proposed to have a peace talk, so let's talk. Of course there are many things to talk about here... (To be continued...)

ps: Thank you for your support! Thank you for the black car!

Well, Brother Feng has been promoted to the head of the sect. Thank you very much!

In addition, hey, shouldn’t you turn on the light this time? But, isn’t there any mud? I think the car is black. Some things really make people speechless... Well, I won’t say much, thank you everyone for the car!
Chapter completed!
