Napoleon II Reborn - Chapter 568
“General, the U.S. Navy Admiral Paret is calling!” On the bridge of the Canadian 4th Fleet flagship “Quebec”, a signal soldier reported to Fleet Commander Rexxar.
“Damn it! Are you urging us to speed up again? Son of a bitch, we’re on a battleship, not a bird. We’re at max speed now. Tell him we’ll be there by 4 p.m., that’s already It’s our maximum speed,” Rexxar complained. Since he started going south from Canada, he has been urged by the US Navy, which made him tireless.
“General, no. General Paret didn’t urge us, he told us to return!” the signal soldier said in a low voice. [bsp; “What? Return flight? Could it be that they have already defeated the French? Don’t they need our help?” Rexxar asked with some puzzlement.
“General, it’s like this. General Paret said that they were attacked by a powerful fleet of the French. It was a fleet hidden by the French. Every battleship was extremely powerful, far surpassing ours. Capital ship. Therefore, the demise of the U.S. Navy has become a foregone conclusion. Our rush is just to die.” The signal soldier said.
“How is it possible?” Rexxar’s first reaction was that Paret lied to him. However, how could Paret lie to him about such a military matter?
“Order the fleet, return immediately!” Rexxar quickly reacted, and believed that this should be true. The U.S. Navy is really doomed. At the same time, he was also very worried in his heart. The U.S. Navy was finished, and next, it was their turn to the Canadian Navy. Even the U.S. Navy can’t stand against the mighty French Navy, so what about them?
Rexxar quickly reported this situation to the country, and this kind of big event should be left to the big shots in the country to worry about. He just needs to lead troops to fight.
At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and the entire sea area west of Guadeloupe had calmed down. It’s just that those battleships floating on the sea, still burning, and those dead bodies, the huge naval battle that took place before, is not a dream, but a real existence.
On the surface of the sea, all 10 huge ‘Brilliant’ class warships stopped, and several other capital ships of the French Navy also leaned on them. Surrounding them were cruisers and destroyers, large and small. There are also some warships searching for survivors on the sea. Whether it is a French sailor or an American sailor, as long as they are found, they will be rescued.
Hercules, Kirkbride, Clarence, Bennett, and Darcy are gathering together on the flagship of the Splendid Fleet, the Splendor. The naval battle is over, and the French navy has won the final victory. All the capital ships of the U.S. Navy were sunk, and only the “New Jersey” surrendered and was captured. This battleship will be brought back to France as a trophy for the Navy. More than a dozen capital ships of the U.S. Navy were wiped out, and the Brilliant Fleet suffered no damage at all. At most, some superstructures were damaged, which did not affect their combat effectiveness at all.
“Marshals, generals. I have already sent the news of the victory to the Navy Department. Marshal Boult has issued the latest combat order. We are required to go north immediately after completing the replenishment, and attack the coastal ports of the Americans, especially shipbuilding. All factories need to be destroyed to completely cut off the American shipbuilding capabilities. In addition, the remaining Canadians still have five fleets. We must destroy them all. Then the army can start the landing operation.” Darcy first introduced road.
All the people present were filled with joy. The U.S. Navy only had a few cruisers and destroyers escape, and it could no longer become an atmosphere. As for the Canadian Navy, after seeing the power of the brilliant fleet, they are no longer in their eyes. The Navy finally lived up to expectations and won the final victory.
“The supply fleet will be able to resist in an hour, after which we can continue to go north. As for these American bases in the Caribbean Sea, we will come and seize them in the next step. Destroy the United States first, and kill the Canadian navy!” Hercules said. Said.
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Before, they all visited the ‘brilliant’ class warship. This new type of warship not only has strong firepower and good defense, but also has much better living facilities than the ‘Tiger Shark’ and ‘Giant Whale’ class warships. This makes them eager to have some of these warships in their fleet.
An hour later, the supply fleet of the French Navy arrived and started the supply work. After that, they will go to the coast of the United States to start a new mission.
France, Le Havre, French Naval Command.
Now the entire naval command has become a sea of joy. After Darcy’s telegram was sent back, the news of the victory of the French Navy’s entire US Navy battleship in Guadeloupe immediately detonated the atmosphere here.
“Haha! That’s great, the Brilliant Fleet is really good.” Burt laughed. He was overjoyed by the fact that the Brilliant Fleet sank 10 capital ships of the opponent and captured one at the cost of zero casualties.
“I will immediately report this good news to His Majesty the Emperor!” Sucrete also had a joyful face. After preparing for so many years, finally won.
“Next, there are not many tasks for our navy. It depends on the army.” Bult said. It made him feel a sense of relief. Before, he had been worried about whether the French navy could defeat the enemy, and he had always felt a lot of pressure. Well now, the dust has finally settled.
“I have ordered the fleet to continue going north and wiped out the Canadian navy. Next, it is time to prepare to provide landing support for the army.” Sucrete also breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xiao Jie received the telegram from the Ministry of the Navy, he was dealing with official business. Xiao Jie laughed three times after learning that the Navy had completely wiped out the main force of the US Navy and that the Glory Fleet had not lost a single battleship. Immediately afterwards, the relevant person in charge of the army was summoned to prepare a plan to land in North America.
The navy has won, so the next step is up to the army. And the Army will certainly not let them down.
The news of the decisive victory of the French navy spread throughout France through radio stations and newspapers the next day. All the French people fell into a joy. The government once promised that as long as the United States and Canada are defeated, the government will invest a lot of financial resources to restore the economy and improve people’s lives. This makes the common people feel that a happy life may soon come.
Unlike France, which is happy and happy, the United States is gloomy and gloomy. After the news of the defeat of the Navy came, there was a huge migration làngcháo in the cities on the east coast of the United States. A large number of Americans have begun to flee the city with their families, especially those big cities. No one knows whether this place will become the target of the French attack.
The White House, the office of the President. It was filled with smoke.
President Adams, Secretary of State Bryan, Chief of Staff Zominsk, Head of the Department of the Navy Davis, Head of the Department of the Army Henry, etc. All of them have rather ugly faces.
“We have carefully prepared the navy for so many years, how could we lose it all at once? Two fleets, hundreds of warships! It’s only been a few months, and all of them have been lost. Davis Sir, shouldn’t you explain?” Henry has always been at odds with Davis, so he was the first to attack.
“I have nothing to explain. Before the war, I warned. It was difficult for us to beat the French. However, we did our best. We were only close to winning. But did not expect, France People actually hide such a powerful fleet. According to the telegram sent back by Parett before his death, this is a brand new warship, and the combat power of each ship is at least compared to our two or three ‘North Carolina’ class warships. Obviously, we were all deceived by the French.” Davis said without changing his face. He and the U.S. Navy have done their best. As for the final result, he had nothing to say.
“There’s no need to quarrel. The navy has indeed done its best. Now, what we should think about is how to deal with the French’s next attack.” Zominsk said.
“General Henry, the navy has failed, and it’s up to your army. How are you going to defend against the French attack~www.mtlnovel.com~Adams asked. Now, it’s not the time to pursue accountability, but how to resist it Stop the next attack of the French.
“Your Excellency. Although our navy has failed. The French will also face the Canadian navy. This will give us a period of preparation. I request that the whole country be mobilized immediately. In addition to the current 120 infantry divisions, once again Equip an army of 120 to 200 divisions. Fight a full-scale war with the French. In addition, the population in the coastal area must be withdrawn to the district, otherwise, without the support of the people, we will not survive. In addition, taking advantage of this time, I will lay out defenses for important cities on the east coast, and prepare to use the huge cities to drag the French into the quagmire of war. Although our economic conditions are not good, the French will go on an expedition across the sea, and the supplies will be even greater Seriously. We can completely drag the French down. This is to make the French retreat.” Henry said. Now, he is no longer talking about beating France. Being able to drag France down to a tie is already the best result.
“Next, the government will fully cooperate with your actions. General Henry, we must persevere and not fail!” Adams also said seriously. The so-called attack on Europe before made the United States the most powerful country, but now it seems that it is just a joke.
However, despite such careful deployment, they still have no confidence. What they are about to face is what is known as the world’s most powerful army.
