After Daqing wanted to declare war by Citigroup inexplicably, the Citigroups had already started to take action. They were worried that Daqing would launch a surprise attack on them, but these people's eyes were fixed on Fabin.

They have immediately ordered MacArthur to step up vigilance, paying particular attention to the defensive work in the Fabin area.

In places like Xia Wei, they did not notify them immediately. In their opinion, those places were too far away from them, and it was impossible for the Qing navy to launch attacks on these places for the time being.

However, the outbreak of war also greatly increased Mao Qiufu’s rights. The Governor of Citi could directly sign wartime bills without going through Congress, and even adjourn Congress. If members of Congress have objections to the Governor’s approach, they can only convene a provisional Congress. It takes more than 60% of people to pass before the governor can be impeached, and there are various restrictions.

This is also a good thing for Mao Qiufu. They mobilized more resources to do things for the war. He even faced such a powerful country as the Qing Dynasty. Citi had to hit the power to win.

Although Citi is not ready yet, the war has broken out and there is no chance to continue to delay it. What Citi has to do now is to put the whole country directly into combat readiness, so that their industries can quickly be transformed into military strength, so as to be strong against the Qing Dynasty. Strength.At least it can protect itself.

"Your Excellency! General Ma Xie and General Leahy would like to see you."

When Mao Qiufu political commissar was overwhelmed with some formalities, his secretary hurried in and said.

"Let them come in and report, so you don't have to report to me in the future"

Mao Qiufu's heart tensed, because he felt a little uneasy instinctively. The two of them were just given military power by him. Obviously there is something important to come to him so quickly, and it may even be the Qing Dynasty. The attack was launched.

However, just after his voice fell, the two men rushed in. The secretary's outline scolded him. Mao Qiufu stopped him. From the dark faces of the two men, he could see that something must have happened. Otherwise, the two characters would not be so reckless.

"What happened? Is Fabin under attack?"

Mao Qiufu asked, he really couldn't believe it. It only took a few hours to declare war. Even when the Qing Dynasty declared war, he immediately attacked Fabin, he wouldn't be lost immediately.

"Your Excellency! We have just received a telegram from General Kimmel. More than half an hour after the Qing people declared war on us, the Qing navy launched an offensive on our Xiawei Naval Base. The entire sea fleet has almost been abandoned. The Zhugang Naval Base was almost completely destroyed."

General Leahy said.228 Literature Network www.wx228.com

"What? Zhugang Naval Base? The sea fleet is gone? How is this possible? Isn't the Qing navy still in their naval port?"

"How could it appear in Xiawei Sea!"

Mao Qiufu immediately turned into a bitter face, and the sea fleet was a guarantee for their sea power, so that Da Qing did not dare to do anything to their homeland.

If they suffer heavy losses now, not only will overseas colonies and military bases not be supported by the mainland, it will be difficult to keep them, and even the mainland will be in danger.

The failure of the maritime fleet meant that on the first day of the war, it was only a few hours before Citigroup fell into a great passivity between the two.

"It should have been disguised by the Qing Dynasty. It was the main force of the Qing Dynasty aircraft carrier that attacked Zhugang. They used more than 1,000 aircraft to attack Zhugang. Not only did our naval port be almost completely destroyed, even Xia Wei’s air force base was also destroyed. Destroyed, all the aircraft were lost, this time the loss..."

General Lexi said helplessly.

"What? There is such a big loss, is the aircraft carrier really so powerful? Then the people of the Qing Dynasty can directly attack our homeland."

Mao Qiufu jumped up instantly. Originally, he thought that the sea fleet still had some considerable strength, but he didn't expect that 80% of their strength would be wiped out.

"Well! According to the current situation, the aircraft carriers are very powerful. They will inevitably replace battleships to become the main force of the navy. Our number of aircraft carriers is too small, and the reconnaissance is not adequate, so it was successfully attacked by the Qing navy. ."

He had already put forward a lot of opinions to the Navy Department before, hoping to strengthen the work on aircraft carriers, but the navy followed John’s steps, and although he did not give up on aircraft carriers, he obviously focused on battleships.

In his opinion, the navy of the Qing Dynasty is much stronger than their navy even if it does not launch a sneak attack. If the two sides engage in a decisive battle, Citi's navy has no chance of winning. The difference is that they can cause greater losses to the Qing Dynasty. , The threat can be kept a little longer.

"There is nothing to complain about now. The development of the aircraft carrier of the Qing Dynasty was in front of us, and they were deliberately hiding their behavior, obviously for this battle."

"Now that we know their real strength is better, once we wait until the middle of the war to discover the problem, our losses will be even greater."

"Call a meeting of cabinet members, we need to act like a response."

Mao Qiufu was silent for a while. Although he was also very dissatisfied with the military's investigative work and strategic direction, it is not time for Ranran to complain... ..
