In the Spanish-American War, the torpedoes used by the Spanish fleet turned out to be German, what was going on?

The most important thing is, how do you know this?

It was very unexpected, and anyone who listened to the process of discovering the origin of the torpedo would be surprised, because this was what the torpedo himself told us!

It says, 'Made in Germany'!

Even before, the Spanish fleet didn't surrender, then of course it had to be disarmed, and the navy of the American Empire went on board to count the spoils, and those torpedoes were of course the focus of the matter.

It turned out that some of the torpedoes had been scraped on them, and there should have been words in those places.

That's right, the rules of origin!

Most of the torpedoes were scraped off in their place of origin, but there were a few that were not cleanly scraped, and you could see what that meant.

Obviously, the work of the Spaniards is very sloppy and careless, so to speak.

Indeed, it was produced in Germany, and these torpedoes have been clearly told to us, and the reason why the origin is marked is obvious, the German Empire is not small, they want to buy and sell arms.

And in this way, the old drunkard Erikson has figured out that these guys in the Spanish fleet are guinea pigs, they are experimenting with weapons for those Germans, and their tactics can obviously see that there are still many disadvantages of this torpedo.

The range is short, but the guys may be smart enough to set up their torpedoes to self-detonate, anyway...... We'll have to do some experiments to find out later.

But not ...... Could these torpedoes be the reliance of that Campos?

There is a reason for Eriksen's thinking, otherwise what else can the Spaniards rely on? Did they still hope that the German Reich would help them in a critical time?

Apparently. I'm afraid there is still a lot of political intrigue in it. For example, the influence of the German Empire on Spain. But that's not what the old drunkard Erickson is good at.

The Spanish-American war at sea lasted only two or three hours, and it should be over, isn't that Carlos still a general?

So, we're here to help the Cuban people fight for independence, right?

……

Bang! Bang!

In the southeast of Cuba, where you can see Jamaica and Haiti across the sea, this place has a name, Guantanamo!

This place is so good. Li Mengyang is really very familiar, to be honest, before the Spanish-American War began, he didn't know the situation here, but when he heard the name, it aroused his interest, and he was able to figure out what was going on in this Cuban matter.

To put it simply, Guantanamo is not part of the United States, it is still a place for Cubans, but the Cuban independence movement led by Céspedes. But because of this place, it didn't work out completely!

It is. The failure to completely eliminate the Spanish influence in Cuba has a great deal to do with this place, and it should be said to have something to do with the place further south of this place, which is Jamaica and Haiti!

Jamaica is now controlled by the British, and Haiti is now controlled by the French.

Obviously, the activities of the Spaniards in Cuba were helped by Britain and France, and the purpose of this help, on the one hand, was to affirm that there were interests and make money in it, and on the other hand, it was to leave an opening in this place, an opening that could interfere in some affairs of the American Empire!

The point is that this thing is very powerful, because Britain and France did not come forward directly, and Cuba is not the United States, although this island country cannot be closer to the United States.

The most important thing is that there are Spaniards who use the British and French as gunmen!

Anyway, it's not us British and French who died, it's you Spaniards, how good?

Therefore, this guy Cespades is not so incapable, but he is really tired of dealing with these three.

But now, however, now that our American Empire has come, then Li Mengyang's Cuban strategy plan naturally can't ignore this!

"Comrades! Once you've landed, it's time to do it quickly! ”

"Don't be afraid! God is with you! ”

"His Majesty the Great Emperor is looking at us! Let's go! Go for a glorious victory! ”

In the middle of the expeditionary fleet of the American Empire, there were some strange ships at this time, these were not big, and the structure was very simple, like the kind of barge, but this was all under its own power, and the hull was not flat, it was surrounded by steel armor.

Beach Landing Ship!

Anyway, it's such a name, and it is said that it was drawn by His Majesty the Great Emperor, so there should be no problem, right?

"Rush! Don't be afraid! Be disciplined! Anyone pay attention to our formation! Three-three system! OK？ No one can run around! ”

“YES-SIR！”

One of these landing ships was Arthur. MacArthur's troops!

Discipline is a must in the army, and the more combative the troops, the more so, and MacArthur understood this very well.

"It's here! Let's go! ”

The sailing navy soldier roared, and then felt a fierce shock!

The landing ship rushed directly to the beach at Guantanamo, and then ......

Bang! Thundered......

The Spanish shells began to pour on the beach, and many shells also hit the sea!

There was a bang, and the front baffle was lowered!

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"For the Empire!"

The wolf-like vanguard, the 1,000-man Imperial Expeditionary Force, seized the beachhead, and this company led by MacArthur took the lead!

Thundered! Thundered!

In the distant seas, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was in full swing, and they were extending their firepower for the landing force, and they wanted to suppress the Spanish artillery fire. Soon. There is much less sand and gravel flying on the beachhead.

In terms of range and power. The artillery of the Spanish army was clearly no match for the Imperial Army!

"Quick! Occupy the slopes ahead! Set up a position! ”

"Rush!"

Although there were only 1,000 people, the speed of progress was very fast, and the beach at Guantanamo was soon successful.

……

"We have to charge!"

General Campos, who was on the Spanish position at Guantanamo, who was looking at the situation on the beachhead with a telescope, made such an order.

Why charge?

Quite simply, the current Spanish army has suffered serious losses in artillery, so under the artillery of the American Empire, the landing force of the opposing side can easily advance quickly. So aren't you going to fight a land war?

Half-crossing and attacking, this kind of knowledge is generally available, that is, to fight the opponent's foothold is not stable, and it is best to drive the opponent into the sea, plus, if you charge, then the Spanish army will be mixed with the American Imperial Army, then the opponent's artillery will not be able to fight!

Another crucial factor is that the Spanish army did not build any fortress-like fortifications at Guantanamo at all, they just dug some simple trenches!

Campos is not a fool. He heard about the weapons of the American Empire, mortars. Grenades, these things can pose a threat to the trenches, besides, the trenches on their side are also very shallow, and the reason is that they didn't expect the American Empire to land here before!

This judgment is normal, because now Cuba, Cespedes still owns Havana, and the most comfortable landing place for the American Empire should be there, who would have thought that they would come directly to the back......

This is the chrysanthemum popping tactic that Li Mengyang is proud of!

Give you a blow from behind, and also cut off your Spaniards' Austrian aid, hehe......

So it seems that there is only a rush, and if you don't rush, waiting for the Spaniards will also fail, so so.

"Ahhh

"God forbid!"

The Spanish army, shouting all kinds of slogans, launched a charge, and when they experienced the baptism of fire from the naval forces of the American Empire, they really came to the front of the landing force!

"Hah! These idiots! MacArthur was so happy when he saw it at this time, he really admired the other party's coach, stupid and liked!

"Call Lao Tzu!"

Just listen to the position on this side...... Buzz Buzz......

Those familiar with the Imperial Army of America will remember that this is the sound of their famous Gatling gun, but it is not ......

Doesn't someone have to pedal the bike? Provide electricity!

And now, they have just landed, how can they get the pedaling equipment right?

Right now...... No need to pedal anymore!

Just listen, Tutubu! Sudden ......

Pieces of Spanish troops fell on the road of the charge, and this picture was so scary that it directly made the Spaniards behind them scatter back!

Why don't you need pedaling?

There's a battery!

That's right, Edison's invention, this thing was used in the Gatling gun, and many people didn't have to practice their thighs anymore!

In the past, when I was fighting, I especially trained a group of blacks and let them pedal the car, these people have good explosiveness, anyway, the Gatling gun can't fight for too long, and in order to better complete this task, these blacks usually practice desperately, and now...... They are liberated.

"Oh my God!"

When he saw that the pieces of people were knocked down and the pieces of people ran back, Campos, the commander of the Spanish expeditionary force, was stupid!

Campos was so tough before, on the one hand, because he felt that his navy had torpedoes, and on the other hand, it was an army battle, and he didn't believe that the American Empire was so strong.

The French lost in Mexico, so they helped the American Empire blow for a while, but the Spaniards thought, you French may be blowing water, and now ......

In the Battle of Guantanamo, the Spanish Expeditionary Force suffered 5,000 casualties and 3,000 casualties, and Campos announced peace talks with the American Empire in just one battle!

To put it bluntly, I had a fight, and I was directly scared to pee.

The entire Spanish-American War was prepared for half a year, whether it was public opinion or other aspects, but when it really started, it was a day and three hours......

Before I could exert my strength, you fell!

This is Li Mengyang's state of mind at this time, but it is not ...... Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Spain proposed to talk about peace, then talk, there are naturally a lot of things to talk about...... (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you all for your support! Black car thank you!

What's that, Brother Feng has been promoted to the head of the house, and the black car is really grateful!

Also, hey, shouldn't I have turned on a light or something this time? However, is there no mud in the swelling? The black car thinks that there are some things that really make people speechless...... Well, without further ado, thank you all for the black car!
