"Minister, they are running away." Major General Marshall put down his telescope and pointed to the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet that was protruding out of the encirclement in the distance. He said.

Roosevelt frowned. In fact, he had just underestimated the responsiveness of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. He originally thought that his strength of nearly ten times, even if he did not have an absolute advantage in flight, he could at least have a full siege of the Chinese Pacific Fleet's responsiveness fleet, and then slowly wipe out the artillery fire with concentrated superiority.

However, when we first discovered the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet, its response was far beyond Roosevelt's expectations. Moreover, the two high dreadnoughts not only have the advantages of the traditional full-heavy artillery and high-intensity armor of the dreadnought, but also have unparalleled aviation. Even if the light cruisers in the US North Atlantic Fleet are compared, they can only be equally matched.

But the actual situation is that just when Roosevelt's North Atlantic Fleet was about to encircle, the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet rushed out of the encircle with an unstoppable force.

Among them, the two high dreadnoughts were used as sharp swords to tear a hole open, and then floated away with the flight beyond the reach of the US North Atlantic Fleet.

In this short contact naval battle, the combat effectiveness of the Gao Wu Ship can be seen. Roosevelt felt uneasy when he saw this. If the US Navy had such an advanced Gao Yan warship, then the reconnaissance fleet of the Chinese Pacific Fleet would definitely not escape, and he could only die here.

The US Navy must focus on developing such advanced warships in the future. Roosevelt looked at the reconnaissance fleet of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, and secretly swears in his heart.

"Minister, what should we do now? Should we continue chasing or heading to the Hawaiian Islands?" asked Major General Marshall.

Seeing that the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet was running away and was about to disappear from sight, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Roosevelt's mouth and said decisively: "Concentrate all ships and continue to pursue them."

Major General Marshall was stunned for a moment. The unsuccessful siege tactic meant that the strategic purpose of this raid was not achieved. In other words, the main force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet will receive the news that they have arrived soon, and they will be in a passive situation.

At this time, we should concentrate all ships and prepare for the decisive battle of the main force of the fleet, rather than pursuing a small reconnaissance fleet with only two high dreadnoughts. Even if these two high dreadnoughts are so powerful, it is one of the huge threats to the US Navy, but the US North Atlantic Fleet, which lost its initiative, concentrates the main force of the entire fleet to pursue a reconnaissance fleet of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, which is already like a frightened bird. Isn’t it a bit useless? It gives people the feeling that it is like using a cannon to specifically bombard a small sampan

Seeing the confusion in Marshall's eyes, Roosevelt explained: "I have a feeling, a very strong feeling, that I can be surrounded by no means panic, calmly using my own advantages to break out. In China, I can never find a second person except Tang Jian."

Major General Marshall asked in disbelief: "Minister, are you saying that you have confirmed that Tang Jian is on the Yongchang?"

Roosevelt nodded with certainty. This was his intuition. He had just realized that a familiar look came from the bridge of the Yongchang. Although Roosevelt and Tang Jian were only one-time, Roosevelt would always remember Tang Jian's hidden eyes. Even when he was in a short battle, the distance between Roosevelt and Tang Jian was several thousand meters, or even ten thousand meters away.

But Roosevelt felt that gaze. This was his intuition. He was an extremely conceited person, so he firmly believed in his intuition.

Seeing that Roosevelt was so sure, Marshall did not persuade him much, and then issued an order to the flagship of other squadrons through the flagship Connewediger flag device.

Soon, the squadrons of the US North Atlantic Fleet moved closer to the original formation where Roosevelt was located, and sent several of the fastest warships of the US North Atlantic Fleet to continue chasing Tang Jian's escape direction.

At 10:15 am, the North Atlantic Fleet where Roosevelt was located once again captured the traces of the reconnaissance fleet where Tang Jian was located. So Roosevelt immediately ordered the squadrons to encircle again to prepare to surround the reconnaissance fleet where Tang Jian was located.

However, Tang Jian relied on the advantages of Gaohang in the reconnaissance fleet and kept hiding from the east. No matter how Roosevelt changed his tactics in time, he could never surround Tang Jian. Every time when he was about to complete the encirclement, Tang Jian would use two high-defeaters as sharp swords, tear open the encirclement and escape in one fell swoop

During the pursuit and siege, Tang Jian, with the thick skin and thick flesh of the Dreadnought, and the powerful firepower, once injured several ships of the US North Atlantic Fleet.

Although several warships in this Chinese Pacific Fleet were shot, all of them were skin trauma. Apart from adding a few bullet marks, they did not cause any fatal damage to them at all.

However, this also made Roosevelt believe his intuition. Apart from Tang Jian, who has such high command ability? Tang Jian must be on the Yongchang account

The flexibility and cunning of the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet aroused Roosevelt's fighting spirit. Roosevelt vowed to sink the Chinese Pacific Fleet that had been leading his nose onto the Pacific Ocean.

At 11:00 a.m., Roosevelt's main fleet lost the trace of the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet. Only its reconnaissance fleet was suspended from far away without causing complete pursuit.

"Minister, Hawaii is ahead." Major General Marshall handed Roosevelt a telescope. In the telescope's eyepiece, a huge island appeared in front of Roosevelt, that is, the United States lost its overseas colony - the Hawaiian Islands

After chasing here, Roosevelt frowned again and fell into deep thought. From the time he pursued the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet, he had an ominous feeling, as if Tang Jian was deliberately luring him to chase him in the back.

At this time, Roosevelt's main force of the North Atlantic Fleet was very close to the Hawaiian Islands. Did Tang Jian deliberately lead him here? A huge question arose in Roosevelt's heart.

Roosevelt suddenly ordered the fleet to stop when the main force of the North Atlantic Fleet was approaching Hawaii for a distance. Roosevelt handed the telescope in his hand to Marshall and asked, "Look, have you found anything strange?"

Major General Marshall picked up the telescope and looked at it for a long time, and said in confusion. "It's indeed a bit strange. Why are we so close to Hawaii, but the Chinese defenders on the shore have no reaction at all, just as if there are no defenders on the island."

Roosevelt nodded slightly and said, "This is the strange place. Who is Tang Jian? He is known for his cunning and versatileness. Now he will inspire us to think about the Hawaiian Islands intentionally or unintentionally, instead of using the main fleet to fight us in the waters near Hawaii. What is the reason?"

Marshall thought for a while and spoke in surprise: "What the minister means is this a trap that has been designed long ago, just wait for us to get into it?"

Roosevelt said: "It's very likely? Do you think Tang Jian will lead us to the unfortified Hawaii? What's the difference between giving Hawaii to us?"

Major General Marshall continued to observe and asked back, "But after watching for a long time, I didn't find any signs of being a trap?"

Roosevelt shook his head solemnly and said, "Do you know how the rebuilt Beiyang Fleet led by Tang Jian to defeat the Japanese Joint Fleet at that time? It is to use disguise and traps. If Tang Jian's trap is so easy to see through, he will not be called Tang Jian. At this time, the quieter the Hawaiian Islands, the more unusual it is."

Roosevelt's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which forced Marshall to agree with his point of view.

"Then we should continue to pursue the reconnaissance fleet of the Chinese Pacific Fleet where Tang Jian is?" Major General Marshall asked tentatively.

"Yes," Roosevelt nodded affirmatively: "Since Tang Jian gathered heavy troops to ambush on the island of Hawaii, it means that he used himself as bait and wanted to lure us to take the bait. Since it was bait, his troops must not be much. Therefore, this is the best opportunity for us to annihilate the Chinese Pacific Fleet squadron. It is very likely that Tang Jian would even be killed. As long as Tang Jian is killed, there would be nothing to worry about in the entire Chinese Pacific Fleet."

Major General Marshall had no objection, and Roosevelt immediately ordered the North Atlantic Fleet to continue chasing the Chinese Pacific Fleet's reconnaissance fleet.

The northwest islands of the Hawaiian Islands are scattered, which is extremely convenient to hide and hide. Tang Jian took advantage of his geographical advantages and mediated with Roosevelt until nightfall. Roosevelt did not surround him again. Seeing that the pursuit was fruitless, Roosevelt had to order the main force of the fleet to rest near Laisan Island, not far from Midway Island, and sent a reconnaissance team to continue tracking the reconnaissance fleet where Tang Jian was located.

Roosevelt concluded that Tang Jian found that they were not fooled and directly attacked the Hawaiian Islands, and would definitely mobilize reinforcements from the Hawaiian Islands to help him. As long as he waited for his work in this sea area, he would soon encounter the main force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. By then, it would be the final moment to decide the outcome.

In the early morning of the next day, Roosevelt received information that the Pacific Fleet where Tang Jian was located was resting in the waters near Midway Island. So Roosevelt immediately ordered to take advantage of the night to prepare for a complete encirclement and to encircle the reconnaissance fleet.

When Roosevelt arrived at Midway Island, the sun was rising. At this moment, he discovered Tang Jian's trace again. Just when he ordered the encirclement to be completed, suddenly, roars came from the sky.

Roosevelt's face changed. He actually encountered a Chinese plane here?
