Chapter 208 The guests are coming!

"It is not difficult to repel them, the key is to completely annihilate them! If we give up this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to annihilate them. God knows whether the Spaniards come with 4 or 5 armored cruisers! We cannot divide the troops in the face of such a fleet, and this is the home court of the Spaniards, so it is really not easy for us to catch them." Majifen explained.

"Boss, you are right. After all, you have participated in the war, not those big guys sitting in the office. I believe you." Captain John, the captain of the Indian, agreed. The approachable and sharing of joys and sorrows of senior officers can always make people feel intimate, and Majiffen was also at the grassroots level in the Beiyang. After returning to the US Navy, he did not see the rank of a major, but he ran on the ship all day long.

In this small fleet, Majiphin was God. A few minutes later, the Vigilant went north to look for the Dewey fleet, while the Indians went up to the Spanish fleet. Because of the problem of the ship being too small, when both sides approached more than ten thousand meters, the lookout hand on the Carlos V discovered the little guy with the star-stripe flag in the distance!

"Fuck! Have you met?" Like the Americans, when Sevilla was sure that she met the American fleet, she was also excited first. The Americans were excited because they knew that the Spanish fleet was a weak chicken and they would definitely not be able to beat themselves. The Spanish were excited because they "thinked" that the Americans were a weak chicken......

However, the little guy who appeared in front of him obviously couldn't let his main ship do it himself. In addition to the three main ships, there were two unprotected cruisers and three gunboats! Originally, these gunboats were used as warning forces, but now they found the American warships, and they could just go up and knock them down and then catch them and ask them. So Sevilla removed the three gunboats originally set up in the north, and the entire cordon collapsed instantly!

At this moment, Sevilla made a mistake that was not a mistake. When three gunboats were chasing the Indians, his fleet chose to patrol on the spot. This was nothing, but sadly, the main American fleet was near him! He knew nothing about it. After he personally removed the cordon in the north, he let him face the upcoming American fleet without any warning!

"Finally come? How big is the other party?" An officer asked excitedly after the Alert told Dewey and a group of staff members that he had discovered the news that the Spanish fleet had been discovered.

"No matter how big he is! Go up and fuck him to death! Have a brunette breakfast, everyone prepare to start a movie!" Dewey excitedly threw the knife and fork in his hand aside, then tore off the tablecloth on his chest and ordered loudly. In this case, he still has to consider the size of the other party? His fleet's tonnage is nearly twice the opponent's, the number of armored ships is twice the opponent's, and the sky is clear and unblocked! Just go over and win the battle. What do you think so much!

"Tell me the movements of the enemy fleet." Dewey only asked one question, and immediately led the fleet to kill after getting the exact answer. However, there was something wrong with the route. He first walked southwest, then turned north, and successfully walked behind the Spanish fleet!

Sevilla will never forget how shocked and feared he was when he saw the American fleet suddenly appear behind him! A series of smoke pillars rose into the sky, and as the distance gradually narrowed, he could clearly see the lineup of the American fleet.

"It's Iowa! The Americans actually drove their battleships to the Far East!" The strong Iowa, like a brown bear, made Saivilla feel a little cold. What he didn't expect was that this battleship could actually drive a speed of nearly 18 knots. What's going on with this TM? Didn't it be agreed to be 16 knots?

In fact, Iowa's 16 knots are just the actual speed, and it can drive more than 17 knots after serving. This time, for the sake of the Far East, Iowa strictly limited the supply and load capacity of the warships, and removed all unnecessary decorations and daily necessities on the warships that could be removed. These include the piano that was prepared for the captain with great efforts. Now, this expensive luxury item, which was made by famous masters, has been restored to firewood by the axe and then thrown into Iowa's boiler... Not to mention, dry firewood is indeed easier to burn.

Behind Iowa are Brooklyn and New York. The two warships, Sevilla, still knew these two warships, but the subsequent warships made Sevilla a little dizzy. The largest warship seemed familiar! Isn’t this the Russians in the Far East? Why did they hang the Stars and Stripes? There are two behind them, which seem to be Munich-class! This ship, Vera, has two, and Spain!

Sevilla was completely speechless. He looked at the huge fleet in front of him and was completely desperate! The Spanish fleet could not defeat such a powerful opponent, and it was impossible to even run because it was restricted by coal supply. (The British restricted Spain's import of bituminous coal, and coal in the Far East was also maliciously acquired by Britain and Japan.) Now, due to the coal ash problem, the speed of the warship has dropped below 17 knots!

The opponent's speed seemed to be faster than himself. If it were a pure cruiser, it might be faster! You know, the American warships were just maintained in the floating dock in the territory of Emperor William of Germany! Coal is also high-quality white coal! There is enough firepower and less coal ash!

This battle can almost be described as without suspense. After more than two hours of pursuit, Sevilla was finally caught by the Americans. Sevilla could have lasted for a longer period of time, but sadly, a small fleet appeared in front of it. Three protective cruisers led by General Sheri's Olibya bravely stopped the Spanish fleet in front of him! As for where the three Spaniards' gunboats were gone? Of course, they have already fed the fish!

When Sheli brought the fleet to approach the Spaniards, Majifen was still worried. The so-called ignorant is fearless. Sheli, who only obtained information from the war report, did not know how terrifying it would be when his three ships had to face three armored cruisers, but Majifen knew that the Mainz armored cruiser easily fought three in the Battle of Toshima. Even though he was half dead in the last battle, he persisted for a long time. Majifen didn't know what happened to the other two armored cruisers of the Spanish, but Carlos V was an enhanced version of Munich. As long as the opponent's quality was strong, it was not a problem to fight three at one time!

Even with a large fleet, Majiphin was worried that his fleet would be crushed directly! He was really not up to par with the US Navy's artillery skills, which was not as good as the Japanese! Fortunately, the subsequent series of fights did not happen, because the Spanish performed worse than the Americans! Think about it, in the Battle of Manila in history, although the Dewey fleet was crushed by strength, after a battle, the Spanish fleet was wiped out, 381 people died, nearly 8 of the US troops were injured, and no one was killed! The battle could be fought to this extent! Can everyone imagine how cowardly the Spanish were?
