"So fast?" Roosevelt was shocked. Although the last Midway Battle ended with the defeat and fleeing of the North Atlantic of the United States, even so, the Chinese Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses at the same time. Even if Roosevelt failed to defeat it smoothly, the Chinese Pacific Fleet lost more than half of it. According to Roosevelt's observation, in addition to the four Dragon Wei-class battleships that were sunk in Midway at that time, after the Midway Battle, the Chinese Pacific Fleet would at least one dreadnought battleship would sink due to serious injuries.

Therefore, Roosevelt learned that the Chinese Pacific Fleet launched a new offensive in such a short time, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. With the heavy losses of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, he wanted to siege San Francisco? Tang Jian was really overestimated...

Roosevelt snorted coldly and looked down upon Tang Jian's impatientness. At this time, San Francisco had been carefully transformed by Roosevelt during this period, including the Shanghai coastal fortress, underwater fences, and almost omnipresent anti-aircraft guns. It is not an exaggeration to call San Francisco a three-dimensional, unbreakable steel city with sea, land and air.

Even if China has an air force, what about the submarine force? In the face of such a powerful fortification in San Francisco, with the only remaining combat power of the Pacific Fleet, it is impossible to break San Francisco in the short term.

War is an extremely expensive thing. With China's fragile industrial system, as long as Tang Jian's offensive is held back, it can drag down China's economy over time. Without economic support, the Chinese Pacific Fleet will be unable to continue and will eventually retreat without fighting.

This is the tactic that Roosevelt came up with when he returned to San Francisco after the defeat in the Battle of Midway. He didn't believe that with the economic advantage of the United States, he could beat Tang Jian even if he fought for consumption.

This is the advantage brought by a strong economy. Thinking of this, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of Roosevelt's mouth. Under this tactic, San Francisco's gains and losses are the key to the American and American wars. As long as San Francisco is defended, Tang Jian will undoubtedly lose.

Roosevelt said to Marshall: "General Marshall, you order people to go down immediately and make all generals ready to fight at any time. At the same time, you must ensure that there are sufficient shells for the shore defense turrets and anti-aircraft artillery positions. Today's war is no longer a battlefield for simply seizing the Pacific sea power, but depends on who can persevere until the end."

"Yes, Minister!" Marshall also highly praised Roosevelt's tactics. Although this tactic is not as direct and effective as completely annihilated the Chinese Pacific Fleet, its purpose is still the same, that is, to defeat China and regain the sea control power above the Pacific.

Fifteen days later.

After the US North Atlantic Fleet returned to the San Francisco Harbor, the entire city of San Francisco was martial law. The entire city was filled with US Army soldiers with guns and ammunition. The San Francisco pre-war command announced an order not long ago, which was to prohibit Chinese in San Francisco from walking around.

Roosevelt did this to prevent Chinese spies from getting into the city and asking for information in San Francisco. Of course, it was just targeting Chinese people living in San Francisco.

In the impression of San Francisco, after San Francisco was subjected to air strikes from China, the US North Atlantic Fleet then came to San Francisco from the east coast of the United States. They only stayed in the San Francisco Harbor for a few days before going to sea to fight.

Until half a month ago, the US North Atlantic Fleet returned from the Pacific Ocean with scars. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, the people of San Francisco did not know that the great US North Atlantic Fleet had suffered a defeat in Midway.

They just knew that although the US North Atlantic Fleet was scarred and lost many warships, there was no war in San Francisco after martial law throughout San Francisco, and San Francisco has since entered a period of peace.

When the San Francisco people saw the US soldiers all over the city, the US ships anchored in Hong Kong, and when they saw that their country had such a powerful army, the San Francisco people were calm. Most people thought that under such a stable defense, China should not dare to invade the United States again!

Under the relaxed mentality of the people, San Francisco quickly rejuvenated from the last bombing. The ruins were gradually cleared out, and the new houses were being rebuilt rapidly. Although San Francisco issued an order to restrict Chinese activities, it had no impact on those Americans.

Americans living in San Francisco began to live a peaceful life again. Some factories and companies have also reopened and started operating normally. On the streets, shops have reopened, and there are gradually more pedestrians on the streets. If we do not pay attention to the ruins that still exist, no one will connect this peaceful American West Coast city to the war.

On this morning, San Francisco was still calm. After bathing in the warm sunshine, ordinary people in San Francisco began to walk out of their homes and start a new day of work and life.

At this moment, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded on the coastal defense positions of the San Francisco port. The American people who gradually became more and more popular on the streets changed drastically. They were unforgettable for this alarm. It was not long after the alarm sounded that San Francisco was immediately attacked by the Chinese Air Force. The entire San Francisco was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. Countless houses instantly turned into ruins, and countless San Francisco people were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Therefore, after hearing the alarm from the San Francisco coastal defense positions, the Americans who reacted on the street immediately screamed and ran around in panic, preparing to escape back to their homes, seeking a little sense of security before danger came.

However, in some places in San Francisco, it is the chaos on the streets, that is, the US barracks and various positions. It has long been learned that the U.S. Navy and Army soldiers who are about to attack in the Chinese Pacific Fleet have arrived at their respective battle positions in an orderly manner, ready to take action, and silently staring at the sea in the distance.

On anti-aircraft gun positions on the high grounds in San Francisco, the artillery soldiers had already opened up their insurance, loaded the shells, and were waiting for orders at any time to prepare for an attack.

Roosevelt was holding a huge pipe in the corner of his mouth, and stood in a fortress somewhere in the shore defense fortress with a telescope, staring coldly at the calm and blue sea in the distance.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, a huge fleet gradually emerged in Roosevelt's eyes. The dense bullet marks on the ships of many warships of this fleet were still clearly visible. Through these bullet marks, you can vaguely recall the extremely tragic naval battle on Midway Island that day.

On the mast of the Yongchang, the Yellow Dragon Sword Flag was fluttering in the wind. Half an hour later, Roosevelt could even clearly see through the high-magnification telescope, the huge and ferocious yellow dragon on the Yellow Dragon Sword Flag was surging with the sea breeze, as if it was about to break out of the flag. Especially on the right claw of the Yellow Dragon, a long sword was dancing with the Yellow Dragon.

At this time, on the sea surface of San Francisco, the Chinese Pacific Fleet had already formed a battle formation. Looking at the height, the masts were forested and the bow and sterns of the warship were connected, which was spectacular, all of which showed the powerful strength of this fleet.

However, at this moment, both sides maintained an amazing tacit understanding. None of them fired the fire first. Both sides looked at each other through a telescope and confronted each other. The undulating sea surface seemed to become extremely quiet at this moment, so quiet that the soldiers on both sides could hear their heartbeats.

In the bridge command room of the flagship Yongchang, the flagship of the Chinese Pacific Fleet.

Ye Zugui put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the San Francisco coast defense positions that had already aimed at his hideous giant cannon gun gun guns, and the numerous mines that could be described as airtight on the San Francisco waterways, which made people feel numb just by looking at them. Every general in the bridge had no doubt at all. There was absolutely no fleet of any country that could pass through the mine-covered sea area. Even if dozens of mine-burning boats were concentrated, they would not be able to clear out a safe waterway without three days and three nights, as long as the mine-burning boats had to have a safe working environment.

Ye Zugui frowned and said, "The President is indeed right. This is the war avoidance tactic that Roosevelt really used to seal the port!"

Cheng Biguang also smiled bitterly: "San Francisco is like a hedgehog covered with thorns. There is really no place to snatch it. Even if you really want to attack, you must have a good mouth to swallow this San Francisco!"

Tang Jian looked at the San Francisco Port in the distance solemnly. As Ye Zugui said, before going to sea from Pearl Harbor, Tang Jian once said that with Roosevelt's shrewdness, he would never rely on the US North Atlantic Fleet to fight the Chinese Pacific Fleet again.

Whether it was Tang Jian or Roosevelt, both knew that under the three-dimensional all-round attack of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the US North Atlantic Fleet was determined to be unable to escape the order to be completely wiped out.

Therefore, Tang Jian predicted early that Roosevelt would definitely adopt the war-avoidance tactic of closure of the port and wanted to use time to drag down China, and Tang Jian's predictions had come true.

However, what Tang Jian did not expect was that Roosevelt built San Francisco into the steel city in front of him in just over half a month. The mines covered with waterways, the strong long-range giant cannons on the shore defense positions, and the anti-aircraft cannon positions that were hidden in unknown places all showed the strong defense situation of San Francisco at this time.

When Tang Jian saw this, he couldn't help but have a headache. Roosevelt was really difficult to deal with. If he wanted to win San Francisco, he might really pay a heavier price than the Battle of Midway!

Tang Jian glanced at the senior naval generals such as Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang in the bridge, took a deep breath, and decisively ordered: "Attack!"

In an instant, the Chinese Pacific Fleet fired thousands of cannons at the same time, and the sound of cannons was deafening. The US San Francisco coastal defense position on the opposite side immediately began to fight back after a while. For a moment, shells were weaving and fire appeared frequently on the narrow sea area.

During the Chinese-American War, the Battle of San Francisco, which followed the Battle of Midway Island, began...
