On September 22, it was rare for major European newspapers to publish the same news on their front pages. New York was bombarded by the Spanish fleet.

The United States has made a big show of face in front of all countries in the world. Although this is not what the United States wants to see, some things are not changed by its will. The news of such things spreads very fast, not to mention that New York is still It is also the node of the Atlantic telegraph cable, so long as you want, any news that appears in New York can be transmitted to Europe in an hour.

As for the willingness of European countries to report, this is also understandable. The United States has surpassed European countries in terms of industrial scale, and its commodities have already competed with European countries. In addition, the United States is far away in North America, and there are not many ways for countries to take it. It is rare to see him unlucky, so don't take the opportunity to publicize it for him, do you keep this news for the New Year?

Therefore, newspapers in various European countries have ridiculed the United States on this matter.

Take The Times as an example, a senior British naval general was invited to comment on the shelling of New York. The shelling of New York and Newport News fully demonstrated that the U.S. Navy was lacking in strategy, did not take Spain's strength seriously, and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

And the Spanish fleet took advantage of this, so they bombarded New York and Newport News one after another.

In addition, the general pointed out that the U.S. Navy currently has no good way to harass the Spanish fleet on the east coast. Because of the difference in speed between the two, it is difficult for the US Navy to seize the Spanish fleet.

He was right, the United States currently has only three Indiana-class battleships that can be relied on, and its maximum speed of 15 knots is completely out of sync with the times. And without these three battleships, the U.S. Navy's fleet would lack battleships, the core battleships of the battle. The four Pennsylvania-class cruisers alone to lead other battleships would not be the opponents of the Spanish fleet.

So in the end, the British Empire general said. For the U.S. Navy, the main problem at present is how to force the Spanish fleet to engage with itself, otherwise the United States will be unable to withstand several more such attacks.

The Times report is fairly pertinent. Those newspapers that want to grab attention have long ridiculed the performance of the U.S. Navy. It is said that the performance of the US Navy is completely a disaster. It is better to ask Italy for help. As long as Americans are willing to spend money, Italians will certainly not refuse.

Well, here comes Italy too.

But no matter what the European media thinks, for the United States, it is the most important thing for the United States to stop the unbridled looting of the Spanish fleet on the east coast.

In the Atlantic, a fleet of warships is rushing. Judging from the flag, this is a battleship of the U.S. Navy. The four battleships headed by it are tall and mighty. It is different from other U.S. battleships in shape. It is obvious that this is a Pennsylvania-class cruiser, and it is the same class as New York after the Pennsylvania-class. The Brooklyn cruises.

Compared with the New York, the Brooklyn has a standard displacement of 9,200 tons. It has 8 203mm main guns arranged in a rhombus, front and rear, and 12 127mm secondary guns. The maximum speed is 20 verses.

In addition to the USS Brooklyn, the fleet also includes the Columbia-class protected cruisers, USS Columbia, USS Minneapolis, and USS Olympic.

These eight battleships are also the eight fastest U.S. battleships at present. This time, because of the harassment of the Spanish fleet in the northeast, Major General Samplin personally led the team to come to support.

"Report, General, we are still forty nautical miles from Newport News. We received a message from Hamilton Naval Port. A telegram from Rhode Island found no trace of the enemy. A telegram from the Boston garrison said they had completed the evacuation of the residents. work and ask when we can arrive. Telegram from New York to get us there as soon as possible."

On the flagship Pennsylvania, Rear Admiral Sampling listened to the communications officer's report item by item.

"Tell Hamilton we'll be there for three hours to refuel, hope they'll be ready. Also send a telegram to New York City and we'll be there in two days. Tell the Boston garrison they can't let their guard down, Spain. There is a good chance that the fleet is going to attack them and make them more vigilant."

After Major General Samplin replied one by one, he looked at the sea and fell into contemplation. Whether the Spanish fleet will continue to attack the port, where did they come from, and where are they now, these questions have not been dispelled in his mind.

Of course, for Major General Sampling, he knew something was wrong after getting the Spanish oversight of the raid on Newport News. They underestimated the enemy, thinking that when the island of Cuba was besieged, the Spanish navy would hurriedly dispatch a fleet to relieve the siege, and then he could easily eliminate it with the American fleet waiting to work.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not play cards according to common sense, regardless of the safety of Cuba, but went to the east coast to make trouble.

It has to be said that the Spanish Navy still has capable people, who can see the weakness of the US Navy at a glance. So as soon as he heard the news of the attack on the east coast, Washington sent a telegram asking him to lead the fleet back to defense. Yes, keeping the East Coast safe from attack is more important than taking Cuba.

And Major General Samplin also gathered eight battleships at the first time, and personally led the team to rush over. As for the other battleships, they went north with the three Indiana-class battleships.

The eight warships personally brought by Major General Samplin were also carefully selected~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The eight warships can reach a maximum speed of 20 knots at least. On the way, Major General Samplin galloped with the battleship, and the speed never dropped below 17 knots. So it was possible to get all the way to Newport News the day after the Spanish fleet shelled New York.

Now he just had to wait for the Spanish fleet to attack Boston, so he could catch them. Of course, his eight ships couldn't solve the opponent, but this time he could rely on speed.

According to intelligence, the Spanish fleet has two Garibaldi-class cruisers with a speed of 23 knots, three Maria Teresa-class cruisers with a speed of 20 knots, and then three Turin-class battleships with a speed of 18 knots, Two Venice-class cruisers.

Found that there is no problem, the speed of Spanish warships is divided into three levels. As for the formation led by Major General Samplin, the worst warships had a maximum speed of 20 knots.

As long as he can find the Spanish fleet, he will not let them run away from his eyes. As long as they wait for them, the Spanish fleet lacks the most important concealment. At that time, he can entangle the opponent and wait for the other battleships to arrive to force them to fight. This is also the most effective method that Major General Samplin thinks at present.

But it's the afternoon of the second day, why hasn't the Spanish fleet appeared, and where are they?
