Chapter 201: I know Asia best


A few minutes later, the long-lost fireball finally appeared on the surface of the sea again. The thick smoke enveloped a large area of ​​water. It also made the Indiana captain using the fixed high-powered telescope in the commander ’s tower observe for the first time. The true face of his own rivals: a tall three-legged mast and a tall bridge similar to a cylinder, a huge main turret in front of one and two behind, and two thick and high smoke, even if the hull is shot, the ship is starboard The battleship facing this side is still struggling to shoot shells.
"Let it calm down!" The captain easily roared as the staff ordered the main gun to roar again, completely depriving the Spanish warship of resistance.
Amidst the deafening roar, a new round of volleys proceeded majesticly. After the shells were fired, the gunners opened the gun doors as usual, and the gas remaining in the gun barrels poured in. The temperature in the narrow turret quickly rose, and the exhaust fan in the turret was rotating indefinitely to expel the exhaust gas reserved in the gun chamber, and then inject fresh air outside.
Seeing this scene, the three Spanish fleet warships rushed out of the queue and let the shells explode violently near them. They were still stubbornly approaching the US Navy fleet headed by four battleships. This scene reminded many people, Tang Jidi de bravely rushed to the scene of the windmill, filled with admiration, and the best admiration is to sink the other party.
The US Navy warships, including the battleship Indiana, began to hunt down the next hapless one. The U.S. Navy Fleet hit the West Ships one after another with fierce and accurate fire and burned and sank. This is hardly a battle, but a slaughter.
Just like this country, the US Navy Fleet made its debut as a new power, but faced the remnants of an imperial empire. Like the heavyweight champion on the boxing ring, there is no sympathy to humiliate the former king on the opposite side, telling the other party mercilessly, your era is over. In later history, the name of Spain, like the fleet that was annihilated here today, is no longer important and no one mentions it.
Because there are reporters in Thompson's fleet, this scene is clearly witnessed by the reporters accompanying the army. Because in the whole process, the resistance of the Spanish fleet is not so fierce. In other words, the Spaniard feels very violent, but the US Navy officers and soldiers ca n’t beat my knees when they jump up, so this reporter is allowed to use the radio report to report the war situation to citizens who care about the progress of the war. live.
For the losers, this is a deep humiliation. On the other hand, the Texas Army led by John Connor has started landing in Cuba under the cover of the support fleet. Compared with the other side of the massacre of the Spanish fleet against the Spanish fleet, it was not very smooth. At least a lot of the scene was enthusiastic, at least there were contacts, not Thompson's unilateral humiliation of the Spanish.
Perhaps it is the news that the Spanish fleet is being strangled. After all, the straight line is not far from the landing in Guantanamo. The battlefield is more likely to be taken by the powerful firepower of the US Navy, and I am afraid that the Cuban rebels will come out to discuss. In short, near Guantanamo The resistance can be described as a symbolic resistance. Armed personnel suffering from seasickness quickly got off the ship and under the command of John Connor occupied the port effortlessly.
This smoothness has deepened the impression of many naval officers, "I have said long ago that the army is not needed at all, and any armed force can be successfully coordinated with our navy to successfully land in Cuba.
John Connor, wearing a dark blue black gold company uniform, finally landed on the land again during a few days of voyage, without looking back and holding a gun, "Tell the boss everything here, don't let the boss wait. Anxious. The people of the company acted according to the plan made in advance. First of all, we have to talk to the Cubans. "
Do you really not need the army? John Connor didn't think much about this issue, but after the landing, he felt that the officers and men of the US Navy were not important. On his side, he was a private armed force and was responsible for many bosses. It does not need to be accountable to the federal government. This is a very important issue and must be clear.
An important purpose of the Black Gold Company is to take over the legacy of the Spanish aristocracy in Cuba, and at the same time, there is a boss ’s personal will to establish a private prison in Guantanamo. Let the private prison industry in Texas rush out of the United States to the world.
Two hours later, when Thompson ’s fleet annihilated the Spanish fleet and even began to clean the battlefield, the entire Texas Army had landed and was rectifying the team, taking a vigorous pace and circling the position of the Spanish army. Marching on the land of Cuba.
In the process, John Connor and Brown have already assigned tasks, one to contact the Cuban Resistance Army and the other to contact the Spanish defenders, which is also Sheffield's advice.
In the telegraph, although Sheffield agreed to John Connor ’s cooperation with the US Navy Fleet, the private is private, the national is national. The capitalist country must understand this question, who is the master of the country, but must Be careful not to take advantage of the country. As we all know, things like government are the worst. You always want to do something about first-class good people like Sheffield. But you must be vigilant and keep your rights in a cage.
On the second day, the detailed battle process was published in major newspapers. At the cost of one death, the US Navy fleet once again wiped out the Spanish fleet in the Caribbean Sea and achieved an unprecedented victory.
However, this was used by Sheffield as an essay. In order to reflect the authority of his own newspaper, even if a person died, he had to use his death to make an essay. The newspaper under Sheffield bite it. Navy soldiers did not die in battle, but died from heatstroke, so in the naval battle in the Caribbean, the US Navy fleet still had zero deaths.
Now that the status of the navy is too high, take it seriously. Zero Death ’s appeal to citizens of the United States is certainly self-evident. Similarly, Sheffield also bought some rival newspapers to discuss the status of the army. As we all know, the army is currently preparing to land in Cuba from mobilization to assembly, but the war is almost over. The army is going to pick peaches at this time.
Newspapers in the United States are so conscientious, and this is a country with free speech, of course, all this is possible. Who said that the uncrowned king is provoking the contradiction of the military service, but the praise of the military service of the navy is further.
Compared with the two opposite newspapers, the newspaper media under Sheffield's report is much more objective about the Army's reports, but it still affirms the fact that the Navy is more important to the United States, but it also clarifies some special times when the Army still has its own Unique role.
The U.S. Navy Fleet has two big victories ahead, and no one will dispute this report. Moreover, the Battle of Manila Bay is a standard zero death. The Caribbean Sea battle is also a zero death processed. The death of heatstroke is not the death of the enemy. In general, in this war with Spain, the navy has come to everything it can do. This is obvious to all citizens.
At this point, Sheffield no longer cares about the situation in Cuba. The formed US Expeditionary Force will soon enter Cuba, but he will not take away the honors of the Black Gold Company. In California, another American expeditionary force that has also been formed is also embarking on an unknown journey to the front of the Philippines.
The two lines have won a lot. Now is the perfect time to pick peaches. Compared with almost all partners, Cuba is in sight. The Philippines believes that no matter what military, government or private company the entire United States is, Not very familiar.
It's time to pull away. After considering, Sheffield decided to leave New Orleans and follow up on the acquisition of Spanish property in Cuba. Naturally, a professional team of managers can be responsible. The Spanish have already ended this, even if they don't directly grab it, they will also meet He inherited the legacy at a very low price, and he no longer needs to stare specifically here.
"Are you going to California? William, haven't you been staring at the battle in Cuba? 0" McHale and Gail opened their mouths and couldn't understand Sheffield's brain circuits.
"Is it necessary to stare after winning? Who ca n’t stare? I ’m going to do something more important. Contribute to the great United States!" Sheffield said lazily, "The company has raised so many experiences. What's the matter? I need to wait in New Orleans for these little things, but I have to urge them to do it well? John Connor is in Cuba. The audit questions naturally have a team of managers, can I use them? "
"Well, maybe California needs you more." Although shocked by Sheffield's thoughts, the two eventually agreed.
"I'm not going to California, I'm going to the Philippines!" Sheffield said unhurriedly. "The area of ​​the Philippines is much larger than that of Cuba. I'm going to investigate it myself."
The two who just thought that the problem was not big, and quickly said one after another, "Asia? That is thousands of miles away, what are you doing there?"
"Some things come to an end!" Sheffield's eyes flashed with regret, "And it is also to open up new markets for the joint company, of course, there are some other reasons, it is not convenient to say more."
The reason for this inconvenience is that Mexico ’s debt is cut off. Sheffield itself is concerned about the US-Western War and is preparing for a big deal. He has little knowledge of the affairs of Mexico, and he joined only after being reminded by Rockefeller Jr. Naturally, there is no regret in joining, because the benefits are huge.
However, if the two things appear together, the benefits seem to be a bit too outstanding. If he is not in the country and waits for the Mexican debt to be robbed, Morgan and his son should first think of Rockefeller, not himself.
"Relax, no one understands Asia better than me! What a laugh, what I said is true." Sheffield's words uttered directly, and Gael and McHale laughed aloud, and they have known for a long time. Sheffield mantra.
