But the times limit their judgment.

Even if they have already taken the US military factor into account.

They also took into account that Han Huaiyi's confidence should be in the new type of aircraft.

But they could never imagine the air-to-ground power of the fighters.

In particular, the Japanese side received information that the national tour of New Rome was still continuing, and they who didn't know the existence of T Valley were fooled again.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that Han Huaiyi must be babbling.

When the time comes, the US Navy will definitely protect him, and the matter will eventually have to be settled.

So they decided to take a hard shot.

They want to be in front of Westerners in a foreign land, and they want to show their strength in this controllable local conflict.

This will be another shock to Tsarist Russia, which had just lost the Russo-Japanese War.

Compared to them, the PTR did not consider the appearance of the US Navy at all.

PTR just saw this as the best opportunity to test Korean Airlines' plans.

Otherwise, how could General Dewey come?

In the PTR exercise, Hawaii's Honolulu is like a mobile aircraft carrier, and the 15 fighters built by Tesla and Ford factories are HNA combat aircraft.

In this matter, the PTR is quite stubborn, and even the cost of arms is directly settled.

In this way, the PTR itself made planes, transported them, bought arms.

That's right, this is the PTR's heads-up against the Japanese, and the US Navy's pressure is actually just a kind of observation, that's all.

The two attitudes of the two sides finally collided seven days later.

Dusk of December 15, 1905.

In front of the passenger liner appeared islands, and five American warships appeared in a line.

The passenger ship docked in port under the cover of warships, and the Mizukiyo Maru was approved to dock at another pier after negotiations with the U.S. military.

On this day, Hawaii has gathered a lot of reporters.

They were authorized to film the contact between the two sides, but they could not enter the newly constructed New Rome Docks, let alone the airport deep in the docks.

At a press conference that night, Han Huaiyi once again stressed that he would release Kodama Gentaro after waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army and fight him fairly.

"Charlie, the Japanese side has dispatched 11 warships, and the first batch of 5 warships will arrive tomorrow at the latest, what do you use to fight them?"

"You actually want to say whether the U.S. Navy will take action, and whether my personal behavior will cause a very harmonious relationship between the United States and Japan, right?"

"Yes, it's your own business, after all. The interests of Gulangyu have nothing to do with those of the United States. ”

"The U.S. Navy will make sure my family won't be attacked again, that's all. As for the rest, you'll see tomorrow. ”

After Han Huaiyi finished speaking, he ended his speech and returned directly to the airport.

Tesla and the Army's 3rd Division attachés were putting the finishing touches on the plane, and hanging six-pounder shells that could be used as bombs.

The power of 2.5 kg of shells was enough for the deck of an ironclad ship of this year.

The Trident has a carrying capacity of 300 kg, a single wing length of 3 meters, and since the set combat radius is within 50 nautical miles, there is no need for auxiliary fuel tanks, so 6 such shells can be suspended.

A total of 15 fighters can be suspended from 90 aircraft.

In addition, the fighters were equipped with two front-to-rear aviation machine guns, as well as 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

Such force is enough to pose a great threat to a five-ship fleet, not to mention that the Honolulu airfield can return at any time to assemble bombs and bullets, and the Japanese side has anti-aircraft machine guns in addition to naval guns and other weapons?

In these years, airplanes are all new things, where do they come from anti-aircraft weapons in the true sense.

Ford did not pretentiously stop Han Huaiyi from going into battle in person, he understood that Charlie was really angry this time, in fact, if he dared, he wanted to go up and try.

Because where to find this kind of good thing that smashes things down from other people's heads, but the other party can hardly fight back.

Nothing was said all night.

It's seven o'clock in the morning Hawaii time.

The first five warships of the Japanese Navy appeared within the confines of Hawaii, and at the moment they were still 70 nautical miles offshore.

Han Huaiyi immediately informed Watanabe to take Gentaro Kodama away.

When the two sides handed over in front of all the reporters, Gentaro Kodama's face turned blue, and Han Huaiyi's face was also very serious.

He sternly informed Gentaro Kodama: "Your troops have arrived, I will give you freedom and an hour of time, and in 60 minutes, at 8:00 a.m. Hawaii time, the PTR will strike at the Japanese ships!" ”

"I'll wait for you!" Gentaro Kodama struggled to calm down.

Han Huaiyi didn't pay attention to him anymore, but said to Watanabe: "The reserves don't want to participate in such a thing, you'd better just watch the battle, because someone will always tell your cabinet how they died!" ”

At this time, Dewey forcefully announced: "Japanese ships are not allowed to enter within 30 nautical miles of Hawaii, except for the Mizukiyo Maru, and our side will effectively supervise this conflict." ”

The reporters didn't ask questions at this time, they were just responsible for taking pictures and recording the words of both sides.

Gentaro Kodama didn't want to stay for a moment, and he quickly left here with Watanabe.

On the way, he told Watanabe: "It is already clear that Han Huaiyi is going to fight us by plane. He even released me early in order to refuse contact with the follow-up fleet. ”

"Did you see the plane?"

"No, you hurry up and send me to the battleship, remember Watanabe, if we lose, we lose, don't do fearless. Just bring my body back to my hometown. ”

Watanabe sighed silently.

Of course he understands that if something like this happens, how can Kodama Gentaro have the face to go back unless he kills Han Huaiyi.

He said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I didn't find any fleet of the PTR, your judgment is right, if the U.S. military doesn't go back on its word, Han Huaiyi will use the plane to fight against you, in fact... ”

"Send me there. Keep a record of everything you see. Gentaro Kodama closed his eyes, but he was desperately thinking about something.

Twenty minutes later he arrived at the battleship Chiyoda.

The 2,439-ton Chiyoda was the second group of battleships participating in the First Sino-Japanese War, with a speed of 19 knots and 10 120mm rapid-fire guns, as well as 14 47mm heavy Habekis rapid-fire guns (Habkes 47mm rapid-fire guns), as well as 3 8mm 5-barrel Nordency multi-barreled machine guns, and 3 360mm torpedo tubes.

The captain of the battleship is still Masatoshi Uchida.

On the Japanese side, in addition to Chiyoda, there were four ships: Fuso, Hashidate, and Akagi.

And these five were all warships that participated in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle.

The Japanese used such a fleet to go to Hawaii to face Han Huaiyi, who led the PTR, and the meaning of this is self-evident.

In this regard, the whole country of China is paying attention to this.
