Chapter 245

The cruelty and decisiveness of the Japanese once again broke through the bottom line of American imagination, and also surprised the Germans, because just as Schell and Majiffen were discussing what to do in the future of the US Far East Fleet, they suddenly found that Schell was back.

"I know it is very rude to disturb your discussion, but I think there is no need for you to discuss it anymore, because you have no way to go except to be disarmed." As Schell said, he pointed to a blurred figure that appeared on the sea level in the distance.

"Damn it! Is that Asama? Or Izumo?" Xie Li looked at the figure that was known as the nightmare of the US Far East Fleet in the distance, and couldn't help but tremble. The Japanese fleet actually came to the gate of Germany to block itself. This was so cruel!

"We just received a telegram from the commander of the Japanese fleet, Hirahachiro Togo, that the other party would not enter the German territorial waters, nor would they block this sea area. The only request was to let us make a decision within three days whether to drive you out of the port or disarm. And I am here to notify the two of you." Scher said expressionlessly.

Germany is not an allies, but its relationship is relatively close. The Germans naturally would not risk going to war with the Japanese to protect the Americans. Moreover, judging from the forces of both sides in the Far East, the United States, Germany and Russia cannot defeat the Japanese navy together. It takes time to mobilize troops, and Germany and Russia have no idea of ​​a big fight. Since the Japanese respected the interests and dignity of Germany's colonies in the Far East and did not care about Germany's help to the United States and Russia at the time, Scher naturally wanted to stay out of the matter now.

"Disarming. We will just sacrifice ourselves when we go out." Majifen thought for a while and said. At this time, the New York City was injured and worn by machinery. The maximum speed of battle was only 16 knots. Go out and seek death?

Just when the Americans decided to give up resistance and were about to accept disarmament, Hirahachiro Togo also focused on the distance on the flagship Asama. After the Battle of Sulu, the only one who could restrict the actions of the Japanese fleet was the top leaders of the Empire. When the top leaders of the Empire agreed, the next actions of the Japanese Navy could be described as armed parades.

In addition to a person accidentally fell into the water and was a little scared, the Japanese Navy captured Samoa without damage, and during the subsequent patrol, after meeting the American cruiser Colombia, who was running out with people, the two Asama-class armored cruisers ended the battle in half an hour, and then cleared all Americans who could breathe on the water. Later, Hirahachiro Togo was scolded by the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet for being too long and using too much ammunition...

Then, the historical Japanese navy god immediately took two cruisers out to continue chasing the US fleet. The Yagum was sent out to chase the US cruiser that was carrying the evacuation mission. He took the Asama to block the New York City.

"Actually, if possible, we should wait until the New York ships out of the German territorial waters before taking action." An officer next to him said with unsatisfactory feelings. The battle torture food is so touching and I can't stop it!

"What we need now is to solve the American fleet as soon as possible, whether it is to destroy it or expel it from the battlefield. The Americans have the help of the Germans and can discover our arrival, so even if they come out, it will be at night. By then, it will be hard for us to catch it." Hirahachiro Togo said.

Hirahachiro Togo also wanted to completely destroy this American warship, but his current IQ level is far higher than the General Mikawa who beat the American cruiser in the Battle of Guadalam in the 2nd battle in history, but let the transport ship go. So he could distinguish the primary and secondary, and quickly clear the American warships here were the first, and others could stand aside. So he didn't mind the Americans disarming.

In the end, with the descending of the US Navy flag and the dismantling of the armed forces, the Japanese fleet finally left after confirmation, and for Shelley, Majiphin and others, the war was over. However, the US military officers and soldiers on the New York should be grateful, because they finally survived and could return home. Another second-class cruiser, the Philadelphia, was not so lucky!

This warship with more than 400 US Marines was targeted by the Japanese armored cruiser Yagum as soon as it left the landing ground of Morrow Bay! Fortunately, the Americans discovered it early and immediately commanded the warships to the beach and then evacuate the personnel. However, even so, the Americans still suffered heavy casualties, with more than 500 casualties under the violent shelling. The remaining people who escaped by chance were not out of danger, because a few days later, the Japanese Marines landed here, and the Americans were greeted by the heated climate on the island and the Japanese rifles and bayonets!

25 days after the end of the Sulu Sea Battle, all the American and Russian warships in the Far East were either disarmed or sunk. The Japanese successfully occupied American Samoa. The last pedal for the United States to enter the Far East was removed. Some officers of the Japanese Navy seemed not satisfied. They looked at the German West Samoa opposite and were full of ideas. However, this dangerous move was stopped by the top leaders.

"Okay, everyone here, let me tell you good news and two bad news!" McKinley said to the leaders of various factions of parliament and senior government officials gathered in the office.

"The good news is that we no longer have to worry about the ownership of Samoa. The two bad news are that American Samoa has been occupied by the Japanese, and our Far East fleet has been completely wiped out. Except for the New York and another warship, all warships have been sunk. These two warships have also been disarmed." McKinley's words were full of anger and helplessness. After all, this step has exceeded the American's vision and ability. It is no different to dream to retake Samoa.

"And now, the most important thing is that in Hawaii, those Japanese have already rebelled and they are trying to escape from the remote control of the United Nations. So what should we do now?" asked McKinley.

"We cannot sit still and wait for death. I bear an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this war, but at a critical moment, I still hope that Congress can give me full trust. We have lost Samoa, but we must never lose Hawaii! We need to raise the flag of the United States again in the Pacific! The war is not over yet!" McKinley's conversation indicates that the war involved in the four countries has entered a new stage.

The Japanese military is still a little unwilling to accept it. Under the instigation of some people, the Japanese Army provided weapons and financial assistance to the Japanese in Hawaii, and the Japanese, who originally accounted for more than 40% of the population, finally took action!
