The U.S. Navy has been in tight control of the Caribbean Sea for a month, and has yet to find a trace of the Spanish fleet. And the high-intensity deployment is easy to neglect after a long time. After all, people are not machines. After the Spanish fleet could not be found for a long time, the officers and soldiers of the US Navy also made some perfunctory actions. For example, the areas that require inspections change from daily inspections to every other day.

Of course, this also led to this dense net, the gaps widened, and it changed from airtight to sparse.

Fortunately, in addition to naval warships, the United States also employs many civilian boats. These civilian boats, mainly fishing boats, also do part-time patrol work while fishing.

On the day of September 13th, a fishing boat hurried back to Jacksonville Naval Port, bringing surprising news that the ship saw the Spanish fleet on the evening of the 11th.

Given the stakes, Major General Sampling questioned Captain Ralph of the fishing boat himself. "Mr. Ralph, you said you saw the Spanish fleet?"

"Yes Admiral, we saw the Spanish fleet while fishing in the waters north of the Windward Islands."

As if to increase his persuasiveness, the Captain Ralph said with a picture of the ship given to him by the navy. "At that time, two (Garibaldi-class Columbus and Francisco) were at the forefront, followed by these three (Maria Teresa-class patrol), then these three (Torino-class) and also There are these two [Venice-class], and some other small warships and other ships, I counted twenty-four."

Rear Admiral Samplin took a look. The ship identification maps he took out were printed by the Navy. These maps were all rough. It seemed that Captain Ralph often watched these warship illustrations, which made Rear Admiral Samplin much more helpless. Believe a little.

Major General Sampling then continued to ask. "What was the speed of the Spanish fleet you saw, and which direction did it go?"

In the face of Major General Samplin's question, Ralph immediately answered. "The Spanish fleet should be at 14-15 knots, and they were heading northeast when I saw them."

"Okay, thank you very much for your help, we will reward you after verification."

Hearing this, Major General Samplin already had a preliminary impression in his mind. Coming from the north of the Windward Islands, to the northeast, isn't that the direction of Cuba?

After sending off Captain Ralph, who had observed the Spanish fleet, Rear Admiral Sampling immediately had a preliminary idea. But before that, he needs to determine the position of the Spanish fleet.

Of course, a telegram was sent from Jacksonville to Washington, and the Admiral Sampling sent a message to the Admiralty that the Spanish fleet had been found, requesting the return of the warships that had been sent north. In addition, he also hoped that Washington would send a message to the Cuban rebels, asking them to observe Cuban ports for signs of the Spanish fleet.

Of course, these are all asking for help from outsiders, and the most important thing is to act on your own. He immediately ordered to send fast warships to closely inspect the Caribbean waters, focusing on Cuba and Puerto Rico, because he suspected that the warships coming from the Spanish mainland would definitely stop here. After all, the Atlantic Ocean is so vast, and crossing the Atlantic Ocean needs to be repaired.

With the order of Rear Admiral Samplin, the U.S. Navy moved completely, even three Indiana-class battleships and four Pennsylvania-class battleships moved, after all, to prevent the possible attack of the Spanish fleet on the southern coast.

With the orders of Major General Samplin, the Caribbean Sea is busier now, and various American warships and hired civilian ships are looking for the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet.

However, after three consecutive days of searching, the Spanish fleet seemed to have disappeared, and it appeared in the Windward Islands and disappeared.

The exploration of Cuba and Puerto Rico has not found anything in their ports.

Where is the Spanish fleet that the U.S. Navy misses so much?

Bermuda, 1,100 nautical miles from Florida, is an overseas colony of the British Empire. This coral reef archipelago consisting of seven main islands has a small population, and its production is mainly salt and marine fish.

The Spanish fleet, led by Vice Admiral Cedra, is here.

"Lieutenant General Sedra, according to the principle of neutrality, there are only four hours left in three days, and your fleet needs to prepare to leave."

Mr. Oakes, the governor of the British Empire in Bermuda, was at the port, informing Lieutenant General Sedra that they needed to leave.

If you don't count the boxes of high-quality Scottish white coal transported to the ship in the port, then this is a fairly normal guardian of diplomatic norms for the Governor of Ox.

Wrong, the Governor of Bermuda just disposed of the excess 3,000 tons of high-quality white coal, as well as a large number of fruits and vegetables, and did not sell any materials to the Spanish fleet. He just sold these supplies to a company called Bob Dylan Trading Company (set up when the Spanish fleet arrived), which violated the principles of war, no matter what happened to Governor Oakes. Besides, the 30,000-pound note is really refreshing.

Of course, he did not let Lieutenant General Sedra suffer. Recently, all kinds of news in the United States have been revealed inadvertently.

"By the way, are you ready to hire someone who is familiar with the hydrology of the East Coast of the United States?"

"We searched for a few, and we didn't feel particularly satisfied."

"Well, then I'll recommend one to you, Captain Juliette, who is known as the living chart of the East Coast. This man has been running to the East Coast before, and then he fell out with the boss for some unknown reason, and was fired. But First off, this guy is asking for a bit of a high salary."

"It doesn't matter, we are not afraid of the high salary, as long as we have that ability, we will definitely satisfy him."

After sending off the Governor of Oaks, Lieutenant General Sedra turned his head and asked Major General Castillo, Colonel Leifer, who was beside him. "How do you feel about this Governor of Oaks?"

"A slightly greedy patriot."

Facing Colonel Leifer's answer, Lieutenant General Sedra shook his head and said. "I think so too, but the other party's generous help to us makes me feel a little unreal."

"What else can this be, but I hope we can give the United States a hard blow. Haven't seen him help us find a good navigator? We shouldn't miss such a good opportunity, or you will regret it for life."

"Let me think about it again, it's a big deal, and a misstep can have very serious consequences."

To make Lieutenant General Sedra hesitate, or Colonel Leifer, after learning of the deployment of the US Navy from Governor Ox, proposed a battle plan to attack the Newport News shipyard on the east coast of the United States, and even You can go north and attack the bustling northeastern ports of the United States. The basis for this is that the main force of the US Navy is currently in the south, and the port defenses in the north are empty and very suitable for attack. In addition, it can attract the main fleet of the southern United States to lift its blockade against Cuba.

Well, the Governor of Bermuda, Oakes, is really not serious at all, and has talked about the deployment of the East Coast of the United States.

Colonel Leifer's suggestion made Lieutenant General Sedra a little excited, but such a huge revision of the battle plan~www.mtlnovel.com~ made him a little hesitant. This is basically beating the United States to the death, and there is no guarantee that it will not lead to the anger of the United States. And Spain's national strength is not enough for the United States to see, it really angers the other party, even if the idea of ​​peeping at Cuba is dispelled now, what should we do when the other party's new batch of warships is built? Spain has no next Philippines to sell.

However, this plan is too tempting, and the odds of winning are now greatly increased, and he doesn't want to give up, it's really a dilemma.

"Let me think again!"

Now that he has said everything he has to say, Colonel Lefer no longer speaks. After all, this battle is still up to the Spaniards to decide. He is only responsible for commanding and hiring retired Italian officers and soldiers. Just follow the order.

Lieutenant General Sedra had heard a little about Colonel Leifer before, and knew that he was a very promising naval genius in Italy, but it was only after he came into contact with him that he realized that he was such a genius, whose keen sense of smell on the battlefield was part-time job Just terrible.

"Let's do it, whatever the consequences."

After thinking about it for a long time, Lieutenant General Sedra finally made up his mind. After what happened, he had nothing to worry about. This should be what Madrid cares about, and do what you need to do first.

This one, he bet.
