Chapter 704 Internal Attack Tactics

The American Fleet Commander's cry made no difference to the outcome of the naval battle. If just a few words can change the outcome of the war, then he will not be just a small fleet commander.

The naval battle lasted for more than two hours, and the Australasian aircraft even went back and forth several times to resupply.

After losing two battleships, three battlecruisers and more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships, the U.S. Pacific Fleet no longer had the courage to resist and announced its surrender to Australasia with flags.

Looking down at the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet from the sky, although only a dozen warships sank, the remaining warships were more or less injured, and some were even leaking.

The Australasian Combined Fleet is much better. After all, they have the advantage in terms of numbers and have aircraft to support them in the sky, so they have no scruples in starting a war.

Only one pre-dreadnought was sunk on the Australasian side, and the remaining warships had only some minor injuries and were not yet sinking.

The reason why the record gap between the two sides is so large is that in addition to the numerical advantage of the combined navy, the bombers in the sky also contributed a lot to the record.

Although bombers cannot hit with perfect accuracy, as long as they hit, they can cause considerable damage to warships.

Especially those small and medium-sized warships with poor defense will basically be seriously injured as long as they are hit, and they will sink if they are unlucky.

Under such circumstances, any further fighting will only increase casualties. The Australasian Navy took their time, and the naval officers and soldiers of the only pre-dreadnought ship that was sunk were quickly rescued, and the casualties were actually not many.

The U.S. fleet is different. Because of its numerical disadvantage and the constant circling of aircraft in the sky, the U.S. fleet had no time to rescue those soldiers who fell into the sea.

Especially when a warship sinks, a huge whirlpool will form around the warship, which can easily suck unprepared soldiers into the seabed.

If no treatment is provided to these soldiers, there is a high probability that the soldiers who fell into the sea will die, and there is a small probability that they will die after a period of time. ♦ൠ

This is actually one of the reasons why the US fleet surrendered. Not only the commander of the U.S. Fleet, but also the U.S. Navy soldiers also understand the situation they are facing.

It’s not that they don’t understand that if they continue to fight, they will only die. If the fleet commander continues to order them to die, I am afraid that a mutiny in the US Navy will not be far away.

To be on the safe side, the U.S. Fleet Commander also sent a public-frequency telegram to the other party to ensure that the other party could receive it.

The Combined Fleet did receive a telegram from the US fleet. The commanders of the Australasian Fleet and the British Mediterranean Fleet showed a hint of surprise and astonishment on their faces.

In any case, it is a good thing that the American fleet can surrender. The United States is destined to fail if it continues to fight, but casualties on the Combined Fleet side are inevitable.

To be on the safe side, Americans are destined not to believe everything they say.

So how to receive these surrendered American fleets? Of course, small transport boats were used to transport those Americans.

In addition to retaining necessary operating personnel on all U.S. warships, all other U.S. naval forces will be transferred to Australasian and British warships.

At the same time, Americans on warships must undergo strict supervision to ensure that they will not suddenly break out and cause harm to the Australasian army.

During this process, the plane would constantly circle overhead to ensure that the Americans really surrendered instead of pretending to surrender.

Fortunately, this group of American troops is not too loyal to the United States, and their surrender will naturally not be a ruse.

After escorting most of the American soldiers to their own warships, Australasia breathed a sigh of relief, and then took all the American warships and US naval soldiers north to California.

It is too unrealistic to transport them to the mainland of Australasia. After all, they are separated by the entire Pacific Ocean. Over time, these American soldiers may have problems.

Anyway, California is now under full control of Australasia. These US Navy soldiers will be detained in California first, and then we will discuss how to deal with these warships of the US Pacific Fleet. ♞♢

In fact, for Australasia and the United Kingdom, compared with these captured US naval soldiers, those warships with less serious damage are the most valuable.

After the surrender of the U.S. Navy, the ownership of these warships will naturally belong to Australasia and the United Kingdom, but it will be necessary to discuss how to distribute them.

As the second strongest navy, the United States still has a large number of warships. The British naturally have ideas about these warships. After all, what the British want to maintain most is their advantage in warships.

For Australasia, Arthur can do without these warships, but the British must also pay the same benefits.

In the final analysis, these warships are still products of the Americans. For Arthur, they have lagged behind the times, and the current scale of the Australasian Navy is sufficient.

If the navy is made too large, Australasia will become the next United States in the eyes of Britain.

At this time, Arthur had no idea of ​​​​confronting the British. It would not be a good thing to offend the British now, at least until after World War II.

If World War II broke out as history did, both Britain and France would be bulwarks against German attacks.

It is also beneficial to appropriately strengthen the strength of the United Kingdom. At least one Britain will make the Germans irritated.

As U.S. warships docked off the coast of Los Angeles, many media frantically reported the news that the U.S. Pacific Fleet had been captured.

This almost became the last straw for the Americans, making their resistance weaken again.

For the US government, this is also very bad news. After the Pacific Fleet was captured, the only remaining Atlantic Fleet of the United States was no match for the coalition forces.

At present, the only hope of the United States is to explode the army wildly, use the army to block the attack of the coalition forces, and completely muddy the waters of this war.

Compared with the changes in American policy, the coalition forces also took actions, and they were of the murderous kind.

Knowing that the Americans wanted to lose to the stubborn resistance, the coalition forces naturally did not want to give the United States this opportunity.

After all, war will cause casualties, and war also represents a large amount of military expenditure, which is something the coalition army does not want to see.

Although the combined army only seems to have 800,000 soldiers, almost all the navies of each country are deployed. The military expenditures consumed every day are astronomical figures, and they will definitely not be able to sustain it in the long run.

Since the U.S. government cannot be solved in a short time, the coalition forces quickly set their sights on other targets that can be solved quickly, that is, the U.S. state governments.

As the saying goes, a strong fortress is often breached from the inside first, and this is actually true.

The current United States is like this solid fortress. It is not impossible to conquer, but the price to conquer is very high.

If the U.S. states and the U.S. government stand on the same front, it will be almost impossible to end this war in a short time.

Currently, according to the information received by the Union Army, the eastern states of the United States are already frantically expanding their military forces.

Currently, the number of the U.S. National Guard far exceeds the number of the U.S. Army. The combined size of the two has exceeded one million. This is a huge threat to the coalition forces that want to quickly capture the entire United States.

If you want to quickly solve the United States, you must find a way to split the United States, turn the complete United States into American states, and then capture them one by one.

Speaking of which, we still have to mention the colonial history of the United States.

As we all know, colonies began as strongholds established by colonists from various European countries. They eventually evolved into cities, then from cities to huge colonies, and finally became an independent country.

The strongholds established by these colonists also have a common feature, that is, the strongholds of the same country and ethnic group are relatively close to each other, and it is almost rare for strongholds of multiple countries and ethnic groups to mix.

This has created the biggest feature of the United States, which is that the ethnic distribution is different in each state and region, and European immigrants are also dispersed throughout the United States in such a unique way.

This is good news for the current coalition forces, because they can use the characteristics of each state's ethnic ratio to let the corresponding country negotiate with the American states.

The states being negotiated were American states that were not affected by the war, and the purpose was to keep these states neutral in this war rather than supporting the United States.

Britain exercised considerable influence in the negotiations. There were a large number of British immigrants in the eastern states, and these British immigrants also contributed a large part.

After all, for most immigrants, they do not want to see their country fighting with their former hometown, let alone this situation of fighting with the whole world.

It is precisely because of this public opinion that some state governments in the United States have gradually begun to retreat, and their willingness to support the U.S. government is not that strong.

After all, directly opposing the U.S. government and simply remaining neutral are two completely different things. In theory, states also have the right to remain neutral. After all, the public opinion of the United States was indeed at a disadvantage in this incident.

No matter what, if a country is the enemy of the whole world, then it is ultimately the country that is wrong.

Unless all countries can be defeated with absolute force, the disadvantage in public opinion cannot be reversed.

The most embarrassing thing for the U.S. government is that the neutrality of American states is completely possible.

Because of the special federal system, the states in the United States operate completely independently and only superficially obey the federal government.

Remaining neutral during the war would not have much impact on the states. On the contrary, it would protect them from the troubles of the war. This was the real reason why states subsequently expressed their willingness to be neutral.

The United States, which has lost the support of these states, is like a plane that has lost power. After falling rapidly in the sky for a period of time, it can only crash at a certain time.
