BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1033: destroy
However, as Germany took away the colonies of Britain and France, American goods could no longer enter these colonies for sale. This has caused the overseas market of the United States to be greatly squeezed, and they can only dump in the American market and the island country market. However, Germany also began to compete with the United States in the American market, which made the industrial development of the United States more and more difficult. The reason why Germany did this is to develop its own industry on the one hand, and to suppress the United States on the other hand.
Although Germany has the largest colony in the world, as Germany gradually begins to integrate European industries, this also makes Germany\'s industrial output value higher and higher. It is foreseeable that it will surpass the United States in a year or two. Although the colonial market is huge, it is estimated that the colonial market will be saturated in a few years. At that time, Germany will have to further develop overseas markets. What\'s more, Qin Tian knew that in a few years, the economic crisis would break out. Germany must be prepared for this. At the same time, if the American industry can be suppressed, this will also give Germany a great advantage in future wars. After all, the competition in war is undoubtedly the comprehensive strength of the country, and industrial strength is undoubtedly a very important part of it.
Bostonians, at this moment, don\'t know that the danger is coming soon. There are even many people who are still asleep at all.
When the huge combined German Navy fleet appeared off the coast of Boston, those Bostonians didn\'t even realize their identities immediately.
"God! What a huge fleet! Does the Republic of America actually have such a huge fleet?" A merchant ship owner looked proud, as if the United States was the real world\'s most powerful country.
"Long live the American Republic! We are the most powerful country in the world." A sailor shouted.
Many sailors followed suit, although the United States was hit hard by Germany in the Azores conflict just now. However, under the propaganda of the US government, Americans\' hatred of Germany continues to rise. At the same time, it also made their national self-esteem and self-confidence unprecedentedly united.
An old sailor was fishing on the pier, he smiled and watched all this.
Although the United States is a country that has only been established for more than a hundred years, although it is very young, it is very powerful. Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that the United States can quickly surpass the old European powers in industry and become the most industrially developed country in the world.
"Damn it, that\'s not our fleet. The Iron Cross flags hanging on those battleships!" An American businessman who was looking at the huge fleet with a telescope shouted in shock.
"The German fleet? What are they doing here?"
"My God! The Germans don\'t want to attack Boston, do they? Isn\'t the conflict over?"
Many people suddenly thought that the U.S. government declared that the conflict in the Azores was over, but in fact, the two sides had never signed an agreement or document to end the conflict. In other words, this is just wishful thinking by the Americans. it\'s over. From the perspective of the German government, the Americans can provoke conflicts, but the German Empire has the final say on when the conflicts and even the wars will end.
When the huge fleet was getting closer and closer to the coastal waters of Boston, and the capital ships even began to sway their hulls, the Bostonians on the pier woke up like a dream. They all realized that the danger was about to come.
On the battleship "Kaiser", the flagship of the German Navy Combined Fleet, Admiral Hipper gave the order to prepare to fire with a look of indifference.
The 16 capital ships in the fleet have already broken the hull. The cruisers and destroyers surround the periphery and are responsible for dealing with potential threats. For example, the Americans may dispatch submarines to attack the German navy. Especially those anti-submarine destroyers equipped with the most advanced sonar patrol around the periphery of the fleet, building a tightly blocked anti-submarine network. Once an American submarine approaches, they will find it and sink it with depth charges.
The naval guns of the capital ships of the United Fleet are slowly rotating, aiming at the port of Boston. In the port, countless Bostonians are fleeing in all directions. They yelled in horror, as if the end of the world was coming.
Everything that happened in the port was seen by Admiral Hipper through a telescope. However, he had no sympathy for these Americans at all. War is going to kill people. Especially this time, the United States took the initiative to provoke the German Empire, so they are asking for their own death. For Admiral Hipper, who has already experienced countless tragic battles, he is used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and his heart has long been as hard as a stone.
"Open fire! Destroy the port of Boston and the shipyard!" Admiral Hipper gave the order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 410mm main guns of the battleship "Caesar" began to roar. Cannonballs weighing more than a ton roared and smashed into the port of Boston.
A violent explosion sounded in the port, black smoke rose into the air, and flames blazed.
The other battleships of the combined fleet of the German Navy followed suit and started firing.
For a while, the port of Boston became a **** on earth. Buildings were destroyed by the bombardment of the German Navy\'s combined fleet, and there were bomb craters everywhere. Many Bostonians who fled in all directions were directly killed in the bombardment. The main gun of the battleship was so powerful that those people were almost blown to pieces.
In less than an hour, the port of Boston was blown into ruins by the heavy bombardment of the German Navy\'s combined fleet.
But even so, the German Navy Combined Fleet did not stop. They began to shift their target to the shipyards in Boston. These shipyards were also destroyed. At the same time, all the warships being built for the U.S. Navy on the berth were also turned into a pile of scrap iron under the fierce bombardment of the German Navy.
