Chapter 695 Bombing Samoyed

Arthur was naturally aware of the news that the Central American coalition forces and the US army had already exchanged fire near the Panama Canal.

For Arthur, the victory of this small-scale battle was insignificant, because the subsequent large-scale coalition forces were the highlight.

However, the US garrison near the Panama Canal had only a few thousand people, and it would not be easy to win against the Central American coalition forces of up to 50,000 people.

Without time to pay attention to the war in Central America, Arthur focused all his attention on the battle plan in Australasia.

The scale of the troops sent by Australasia was about 100,000, and the number of any army alone was not enough.

It was precisely because of this that the dispatch of troops to the United States this time was most likely a joint action of the First Army and the Second Army, which would dispatch four infantry divisions, one cavalry division and two artillery divisions.

As for the commander of this expeditionary force, of course it was Silvio, the commander of the First Army, who had been with Arthur for more than 20 years.

The main task of the expeditionary force was to go to Canada and Mexico to join the large forces of the coalition forces, and quickly besiege the United States from the north and south.

However, before heading to America, the expeditionary force still has some tasks to do in the Pacific.

Australasia is almost a country that occupies the entire continent. Why is it almost?

Because Samoyed and Hawaii, which belong to the United States, also belong to Oceania, which is also the only two lands that Australasia does not control within Oceania.

For Arthur, taking advantage of this war with the Americans to quickly capture Samoyed and Hawaii, making Australasia a veritable country that occupies the entire Oceania, this is a must-do task.

The good news is that the Americans do not have many defensive forces in Samoyed, and the garrison is even only a few hundred people.

Hawaii, which has more defensive forces, is definitely not an opponent of Australasia. Even the expeditionary force can easily conquer Samoyed and Hawaii, and then rush to America to join the large forces.

In order to prevent the Americans from gathering the main naval forces in the Pacific, posing a huge threat to the Australasia navy.

In this war, the British Indian Ocean Fleet will cooperate with Australasia and completely blockade the west coast of the United States.

The Australasian Navy alone may not be a match for the US Navy, but if it is combined with the British Indian Ocean Fleet, it will be able to form a crucial advantage over the US Navy.

In this joint offensive, the three countries of Britain, France and Australia also have their own different tasks.

Needless to say, the British's main task is to contain or even destroy the American navy and create opportunities for the joint forces to attack the US mainland.

In addition to providing their own fleet, the French army is also the main force of the war, responsible for conquering the US states from Mexico all the way north.

The Australasian army is responsible for attacking from the Pacific direction. Along with the Australasian army are the Philippines, the United Sultanate of Kalimantan, Russia and other countries.

In fact, Britain, France and Australia did not intend to invite Russia to this war. After all, Russia is plagued by the economic crisis. If they want to invite Russia to participate in the war, Britain, France and Australia must provide corresponding weapons and equipment and even military funding support.

But unexpectedly, after Nicholas II heard that it was to fight the United States, he did not seek any support in terms of funds except for some support for weapons and equipment, and directly agreed to fight against the United States.

The Russians even provided 50,000 troops for combat. Although 50,000 people are not many, it is not easy for Russia to afford the military expenditure of 50,000 people during the economic crisis.

In order to ensure naval superiority in the Pacific, Arthur has deployed all the main forces this time, sending all the main battleships of the navy to blockade the entire Pacific together with the British.

The same is true for Britain and France. After all, they are fighting against a great power across the ocean, so they must be cautious.

Britain, France and Australia have deployed all their main forces, and other small and medium-sized countries participating in the war will certainly not remain indifferent.

These powers must give face, which also leads to the fact that the strength of the navy in the joint army is far greater than that of the army, and even the total tonnage of the navy is several times that of the US Navy.

Some media with good intentions reported the specific strength comparison of the navies of both sides of the war through the rough intelligence collected by the joint army and the US army:

US Navy: a total of 24 main battleships, 7 battlecruisers, 33 light cruisers, 50 destroyers, and more than 100 small and medium-sized warships.

Combined Navy:

Atlantic Combined Fleet: 40 battleships (29 from Britain, 8 from France, 3 from Russia), 17 battlecruisers (9 from Britain, 4 from France, 2 from Russia, 1 from Romania, 1 from the Netherlands), 21 pre-dreadnoughts (5 from Britain, 7 from France, 1 from Belgium, 2 from Spain, 1 from Portugal, 2 from Italy, 3 from Russia), 55 cruisers, 81 destroyers, and more than 300 other small and medium-sized warships.

Pacific Combined Fleet: 16 battleships (7 from Australia and 9 from Britain), 7 battlecruisers (3 from Australia and 4 from Britain), 5 pre-dreadnoughts (Britain), 27 cruisers, 35 destroyers, and more than 80 other small and medium-sized warships.

In fact, the size of the U.S. Navy is not small. Except for being slightly inferior to the British, it has an absolute advantage over other countries.

But this is exactly what the British are worried about. You know, Americans are much crazier than the Germans in building warships, and they build warships much faster than the Germans.

The last large-scale construction plan in the United States was the Naval Act promulgated by President Wilson during World War I, which is more than ten years old.

But it was this Naval Act that allowed the Americans to formally formulate a strategy to catch up with Britain in the navy, and they built the navy frantically in the next ten years.

If it were not for the fact that the quality of a considerable number of warships of the US Navy was not as good as that of the European Navy, I am afraid that the British would not be able to help declaring war on the United States after World War I.

However, in the long process of technological development, the shipbuilding technology of the Americans has gradually caught up.

Although it is not as advanced as that of the United Kingdom, it is at least first-class in Europe, and the quality of the warships built is definitely worth guaranteeing.

Although the scale of the US Navy seems to be larger than that of the Pacific Union Navy, the Americans are unlikely to gather all their navies in the Pacific.

After all, the combined armies and fleets of dozens of European countries facing the Atlantic are the real pressure, and the Americans cannot give up the East Coast, after all, the East Coast is the most prosperous and prosperous region in the United States.

The capital Washington and the wealthy city New York are both located on the East Coast of the United States. If the East Coast is abandoned, it is actually equivalent to abandoning the foundation of the United States.

Following the outbreak of the Panama Campaign, the Samoyed Campaign also broke out in American Samoyed on July 5, 1928.

Samoyed is an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, occupied by Australasia and the United States respectively.

Samoyed controlled by Australasia is very close to American Samoyed, which also creates the prerequisite for the aerial bombing of American Samoyed.

American Samoyed, Pago Pago.

This is just a very small colony of the United States, so small that it consists of only five volcanic islands and two coral reef islands.

Because of this, the United States has only 500 troops stationed in Samoyed, and the biggest purpose of the garrison is just to protect the port.

After all, the geographical location of Samoyed is still very important. It is located in the north and south of Hawaii, and is the vanguard fortress for the United States to explore the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The garrison also trains as usual every day, but it does not waste too many bullets. After all, the transportation of bullets is also a considerable expense.

When this American army was still training as usual, the familiar buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

Some recruits who had not experienced World War I looked up at the sky curiously, as if they wanted to see what the sound was.

A few veterans who had experienced World War I changed their expressions, as if they remembered something terrible.

"Everyone, hide in the air-raid shelter!" Not long after, the commander of the garrison came immediately and shouted at all the soldiers.

However, during this period of time, the buzzing sound became louder and louder, and many curious recruits also saw what was flying in the sky.

People nowadays are no strangers to airplanes, and naturally know what the airplanes flying in the sky are doing.

It is almost impossible for Samoyed to have civilian aircraft. The only possibility is the enemy's bombing.

"Air raid! Air raid! Hide in the air-raid shelter quickly, this is not an exercise!" The commander of the garrison shouted again at the top of his voice.

At this moment, a few small black dots suddenly fell from the big black dot in the sky, and the small black dots got closer and closer, and then turned into several bombs visible to the naked eye.

Boom! Boom!

The explosion of the bomb came very quickly, not as slow as expected.

Many American soldiers who did not have time to hide in the air-raid shelter were immediately affected by the blast wave. Some suffered temporary deafness, while others had their eardrums ruptured by the blast wave.

Of course, there were still a few unlucky people who were close to an exploding bomb and were buried in the bombing.

However, this does not mean that the bombing is over. There are still many planes in Australasia, and it is impossible for only a few planes to be dispatched for the bombing.

Before carrying out this bombing mission, the army had already conducted statistics and investigations on the situation in American Samoyed.

American Samoyed is inhabited by either Americans or local Samoyed natives, with no other foreign population.

This is good news, because it means that there are not so many concerns during the bombing, and there is no need to worry about casualties to civilians.

The bombing lasted for about half an hour. After the reconnaissance plane determined the location of the US garrison, the bomber launched an indiscriminate bombing of the location of the US garrison.

The effect is also very obvious. It directly changed the color of the place where the US troops were stationed, causing great damage to the defense facilities.
