Chapter 704 Internal Attack Tactics

The shouting of the commander of the American fleet did not change the outcome of the naval battle. If a few words could change the outcome of the war, he would not be just a small fleet commander.

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

After losing two battleships, three battlecruisers and more than ten small and medium-sized warships, the US Pacific Fleet no longer had the courage to resist and announced its surrender to Australasian with flag signals.

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

The Australasian Combined Fleet was much better. After all, it had an advantage in numbers and had aircraft support in the sky, so there was no scruple in fighting.

Only one pre-dreadnought was sunk on the Australasian side, and the remaining warships were only slightly injured and had not yet sunk.

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

Although bombers cannot hit the target with 100% accuracy, as long as they hit, they can cause considerable damage to the warships.

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

In this case, fighting further will only increase casualties. The Australasian Navy was calm, and the naval officers and soldiers of the only sunk pre-dreadnought were quickly rescued, and the casualties were not many.

The US fleet was different. Because of the disadvantage in numbers, coupled with the constant circling of planes in the sky, the US fleet had no time to rescue the soldiers who fell into the sea.

Especially when the warship sank, a huge vortex would form around the warship, which could easily suck the unprepared soldiers into the seabed.

If these soldiers were not treated, the soldiers who fell into the sea would most likely face death, and a small probability would face death after a period of time.

This is actually one of the reasons why the US fleet surrendered. Not only the commander of the US fleet, but also the US naval soldiers also understood the situation they were facing.

They knew that they would die if they continued to fight. If the commander of the fleet continued to order them to die, the US Navy would probably not be far from mutiny.

For safety, the commander of the US fleet also sent a public frequency telegram to the other party to ensure that the other party could receive it.

The United Fleet did receive the telegram from the US fleet, and 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 was a good thing that the US fleet surrendered. If the war continued, the United States was doomed to fail, but casualties on the side of the United Fleet were inevitable.

For safety, the words of the Americans were destined not to be believed.

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

All US warships, except for the necessary operators, all other US Navy personnel were to be transferred to the Australasian and British warships.

At the same time, the Americans on the warships were to be strictly guarded to ensure that they would not suddenly rise up and cause harm to the Australasian army.

During this process, planes will constantly circle overhead to ensure that the Americans really surrender, not just pretend to surrender.

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

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

It is too unrealistic to transport them to the mainland of Australasia. After all, there is a whole Pacific Ocean between them, and these American soldiers may have problems over time.

Anyway, California is now fully controlled by Australasia. First, these American naval soldiers will be detained in California, and then discuss how to deal with these warships of the US Pacific Fleet.

In fact, for Australasia and Britain, compared with these captured American naval soldiers, those warships that are not seriously damaged are the most valuable.

After the surrender of the US Navy, the ownership of these warships naturally belongs to Australasia and Britain, but they need to discuss how to distribute them.

As the second strongest naval country, 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.

These warships are the product of the Americans after all. They are behind the times for Arthur, and the current size of the Australasia Navy is sufficient.

If the size of the navy is too large, then in the eyes of the British, Australasia will become the next United States.

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

If World War II breaks out as history has done, Britain and France will be the fortresses against the German attack.

It is also good to appropriately strengthen Britain's strength. At least Britain will make the Germans irritable.

As American warships docked on the coast of Los Angeles, many media outlets frantically reported the news that the US Pacific Fleet was captured.

This almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Americans, weakening their resistance 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 United Army.

At present, the only hope for the United States is to madly explode the army, use the army to block the attack of the United Army, and completely muddy the waters of this war.

Compared with the changes in American policies, the United Army has also taken actions, and they are the kind that kill people and hurt their hearts.

Knowing that the Americans want to lose to stubborn resistance, the United Army naturally does not want to give the United States this opportunity.

After all, there will be casualties in war, and war also represents a large amount of military expenditure, which is something the United Army does not want to see.

Although the United Army seems to have only 800,000 land forces, the navies of various countries are almost all deployed, and the military expenditure consumed every day is an astronomical figure, which will definitely not last long.

Since the U.S. government could not be resolved in a short time, the joint army quickly set its sights on other targets that could be resolved quickly, namely the state governments of the United States.

As the saying goes, a strong fortress is often breached from the inside first, and this statement is actually not without reason.

The current United States is like this strong fortress. It is not impossible to conquer it, but the cost of conquering it is very high.

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

According to the news received by the joint army, the eastern states of the United States are already expanding their military forces crazily.

At present, the number of the U.S. National Guard has far exceeded the number of the U.S. Army, and the combined size of the two has exceeded one million, which is a huge threat to the joint army that wants to quickly capture the entire United States.

If you want to quickly resolve the United States, you must find a way to split the United States, turn the entire United States into U.S. states, and then conquer them one by one.

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

As we all know, colonies were originally strongholds established by colonists from European countries, which eventually evolved into cities, and then developed from cities into huge colonies, and finally became independent countries.

The strongholds established by these colonists also have a common feature, that is, the strongholds of the same country and nation are relatively close, and there are almost no cases of mixed strongholds of multiple countries and multiple nations.

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

This is good news for the current joint army, because they can use the characteristics of the ethnic proportions of each state to let the corresponding countries negotiate with the states of the United States.

The states in the negotiations are the states of the United States that have not been affected by the war, and the purpose is to keep these states neutral in this war instead of supporting the United States.

Britain played a huge role in this negotiation. There are a large number of British immigrants in the eastern states, and these British immigrants have also contributed a lot.

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 US government is not so strong.

After all, directly opposing the US government and just being neutral are two completely different things. In theory, the states also have the right to remain neutral. After all, the public opinion of the United States in this incident is indeed at a disadvantage.

No matter what, if a country is hostile to the whole world, then it is the country that is wrong.

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

The most embarrassing thing for the US government is that the neutrality of the US states is completely possible.

Because of the special system of the federation, the US states are completely independent in operation, but only obey the federal government on the surface.

Maintaining neutrality in the war does not have much impact on the states, but can also save them from the troubles of war. This is also the real reason why the states 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.
