The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 245 Destruction

The brutality and decisiveness of the Japanese once again broke through the bottom line of the American imagination, and at the same time, it also surprised the Germans, because when Shirley and Magiffin were discussing what to do with the future of the US Far East Fleet, they suddenly discovered that Scheer had returned up.

"I know it's very rude to interrupt your discussion, but I don't think you need to discuss it anymore, because you have nowhere to go except to be disarmed." Sher pointed to a person who appeared in the distance. Blurred figures on the sea level.

"Fuck! Is that Asama? Or Izumo?" Seeing that the nightmarish figure of the US Far East Fleet gradually became clear in the distance, Shelly shivered involuntarily. The Japanese fleet actually came to the gate of Germany to block itself, which is really cruel!

"We have just received a telegram from the commander of the Japanese fleet, Togo Heihachiro. The other party will not enter German territorial waters, nor will it blockade this area. The only request is that we make a decision within three days, whether to drive you out of the port or Disarm. And I'm here to inform the two of you." Sher said expressionlessly.

Germany and the United States are not allies, but they are relatively close. The Germans will naturally not take the risk of going to war with the Japanese to protect the Americans. Moreover, judging from the current strength of the two parties in the Far East, the United States, Germany, and Russia cannot beat the Japanese navy together. It will take time to mobilize troops, and Germany and Russia have no idea of ​​fighting at all, since the Japanese respect the interests and dignity of Germany's colonies in the Far East. Don't care about Germany helping the United States and Russia at the beginning, so now Scheer naturally wants to stay out of it.

"Disarm. It's just a meaningless sacrifice for us to go out." Ma Jifen thought for a while and said. At this time, the New York was due to war damage and mechanical wear and tear. The maximum combat speed is only 16 knots. Go out and seek death?

And just when the Americans decided to give up resistance and were ready to accept disarmament. Togo Heihachiro is also watching the distance on the flagship Asama. After the Sulu Sea naval battle, the only thing that can restrict the actions of the Japanese fleet is the high-level empire. When the high-level empire agrees, the next actions of the Japanese navy can be described as armed parades.

Except for a person who accidentally fell into the water and received a little fright, the Japanese navy took Samoa without damage, and after encountering the American cruiser Columbia that was running out with people on the subsequent patrol, the two Asama-class armored cruisers spent half the time. The battle ended in an hour, and then all the Americans who could still breathe on the water were cleaned up. Then, Togo Heihachiro was reprimanded by the commander of the United Fleet, Shiji Kawayama, because he spent too long and consumed too much ammunition. ….

Then, the Japanese naval god in history immediately took two cruisers out to continue hunting down the American fleet, and the Yakumo was sent to hunt down the American cruiser that was on an evacuation mission. And he took the Asama to the door to block the New York.

"Actually, if possible, we should wait until the New York sails out of German territorial waters before doing anything," said an officer next to him, still unsatisfied. The battle of abuse of vegetables is really exciting, I can't stop it!

"What we need now is to solve the US 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 detect our arrival, so even if they come out, it will be at night. At that time, we want to catch It's hard to live here." Togo Heihachiro said.

Togo Heihachiro also wanted to completely destroy this American warship, but his current IQ level is much higher than that of General Mikawa who beat up the American cruiser in the Battle of Guadalcanal in the Second World War in history, but let the transport ship go.

So he can distinguish between the primary and secondary, and the American warships that can quickly clean up here are the first, and the others can stand aside. So he doesn't mind the Americans disarming.

In the end, with the lowering of the U.S. Navy flag and disarmament, the Japanese fleet finally left after confirmation, and for Shelley, Magiffin and others, the war was over. However, the American officers and soldiers on the USS New York should be thankful, because they survived in the end and can return home. The other second-class cruiser Philadelphia, which was performing the evacuation mission, was not so lucky!

This battleship with more than 400 US Marines was spotted by the Japanese armored cruiser Yakumo just after leaving the Morro Bay landing site! Fortunately, the Americans discovered it early and immediately commanded the warship to rush to the beach and evacuate the personnel. However, even so, the Americans still suffered heavy casualties. More than 500 people were killed or injured under the violent shelling, and the remaining people who escaped by chance did not escape. Dangerous, because the Japanese marines landed here a few days later, and the Americans were greeted by the scorching heat of the island and the Japanese rifles and bayonets!

Twenty-five days after the end of the Sulu Sea naval battle, all US and Russian warships in the Far East were either disarmed or sunk. The Japanese successfully occupied American Samoa. The last pedal of the United States into the Far East was removed. However, some officers of the Japanese Navy seemed unsatisfied with their ambitions. They looked at the German Western Samoa opposite, and their hearts were full of thoughts. However, this dangerous move was stopped by high-level officials.

"Okay, everyone here, tell you one piece of good news and two pieces of bad news!" McKinley said to the leaders of various factions in parliament and senior government officials gathered in his 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 wiped out, except for the USS New York." All warships were sunk except for one other warship. And these two warships were also disarmed." McKinley's words were full of anger and helplessness, after all, things have gone beyond the United States at this point. Without human imagination and ability, wanting to take back Samoa is tantamount to nonsense.

"And now, the most important thing is that in Hawaii, those Japanese descendants have rebelled. They are trying to break away from the remote control of the United States, so what should we do now?" McKinley asked.

"We can't sit still. I bear the unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this war, but at the critical moment, I still hope that Congress can give me full trust. We have lost Samoa, but we must not lose Hawaii! We need The battle flag of the United States is raised again in the Pacific Ocean! The war is not over yet!" McKinley's speech heralded that the war involving four countries had entered a new stage.

The Japanese military was still a little unwilling. 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!
