After the convergence of the four French Navy fleets, the fleet formed was quite large, including 18 main battleships, 72 cruisers, and 134 destroyers. This fleet already includes all the last forces of the French Navy. They are full of confidence and will win the final victory for France. But the commanders of several fleets were in a very heavy mood.

According to the orders of the Admiralty, Kirk Bryde, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, will become the temporary supreme commander of the fleet. This position will last until the end of this naval battle. If an accident occurs in Kirk Bryde, Heckles will be replaced by Clarence, and finally Bennett.

From this point of view, we can see how cruel the naval battle will be.[bsp;   The huge 18 main battleships were divided into two main battleship squadrons, arranged into two battle lines, broke through the sea and headed to the waters near Martinique Island at high speed.

Among them, the first battleship squadron consists of the Atlantic Fleet and the Strait Fleet, including the Tiger Shark class battleships Azore, Flores, the Giant Whale class battleships Duille, the Elysee, the Amiens, the Mess, the Le Havre, the Orleans and the Caen. Among them, the Mess and the Le Havre were only 1mén 305mm naval guns left.

The second battleship squadron consists of the Mediterranean Fleet and the South Atlantic Fleet, including the Tiger Shark class battleships "Mediterranean", "Iberia", "Viena" and "Adur". The "Giant Whale" class battleships "Madrid" "Valencia", "Garon", "Dordogne" and "Lot".

"General, several French destroyers have been following us. Should we send warships to drive them away?" an officer from the 3rd Fleet suggested to Aldridge.

"No need, we can't catch up anyway!" Aldridge said indifferently. The French look at the reconnaissance, so let them investigate. Aldridge is not afraid of them now. The huge fleet of the 3rd, 8th, 10th and 12th fleets now have 17 main battleships, a total of more than 140 warships, and is not afraid of the French fleet attack. Moreover, the support fleet will arrive soon.

Le Lamantan on Martinique is a relatively important military base in the United States on the Little Antilles Islands. Usually, when the fleet is replenishing, most sailors choose to get off the boat and drink on the shore to have a drink. But this time, the commanders of each fleet ordered strict orders, and anyone who dares to sneak up on the shore will be shot directly.

Moreover, the four fleets were all one to enter the port to replenish supplies, while the other three were defending outside to prevent the French fleet from launching attacks while they were replenishing supplies, so they were always careful.

"General, General About, General Archibald and General Barthley are here!" a low-ranking officer reported.

"Please come in!" Aldridge said, and then he found out the telegram sent by Davis.

The three of them entered the bridge of the Philadelphia, sat in front of Aldridge, waiting for him to speak. Now, Barthre's 12th Fleet is receiving supplies. After the supply is completed, they can set sail and leave Le Lamantan. If the fleet stays here, it is not suitable for fighting the French Navy.

"Just just now, General Davis sent us a telegram. He affirmed our performance in this battle. At the same time, he also hopes that we can continue to work hard to defeat or severely damage the French Navy and completely win this victory." Aldridge said. In fact, from his heart, he was not very satisfied with this naval battle. After all, from the perspective of the losses, the US Navy is still more severe.

About, Archibald and Barthre sat upright, thinking that the fight would definitely be scolded by the country, but unexpectedly, General Davis could confirm their battle. This surprised them very much, and they were a little blushing. You know, the 4th Fleet was wiped out by the French Atlantic Fleet. Now, Trick was still sulking in Le Lamantan. After the naval battle, his 4th Fleet was only the severely damaged "Georgia" and several destroyers. Compared to the first severely damaged fleet after the war, the 7th Fleet was even worse.

"However, we cannot relax. There is no doubt that the French will launch the next round of attacks on us. According to the intelligence provided by the Admiralty, this time, the French will concentrate the remaining warships of their four fleets and launch an attack on us. There will be more than 200 warships in total, of which the number of main battleships will reach 18. The pressure we face will be very great. However, the Admiralty hopes that we can withstand the pressure and even if we cannot defeat the French Navy, we will also seriously damage them. Create a chance for victory for the subsequent fleet." Aldridge said.

About, Archibald and Barthre were all serious. After the French Navy gathered its last power, its strength would completely surpass them. This battle would be difficult to fight! Maybe it would be killed. But as Aldridge said, this battle is related to the fate of the two countries, so it is only allowed to succeed but not fail.

"After the supply is over, we leave the port immediately. Perhaps, after dawn, the battle will break out again. I want to remind you that in battle, the protection of the main battleship is very important. Each main battleship must be left with at least two destroyers to protect it to avoid lightning strikes from the French. In addition, all main battleships will be divided into two squadrons. The main battleships of the 3rd and 8th Fleets form the first squadron, the main battleships of the 10th and 12th Fleets form the second squadron. The 1st squadron is commanded by me, and the 2nd Fleet is commanded by General Archibald. In this battle, we must do our best. The 1st and 2nd Fleets can arrive at the battlefield on the morning of the 30th. As long as we can hold on until that time, we will win!" Aldridge continued to encourage everyone.

"Don't worry, General Aldridge, this is the Caribbean Sea, our back garden. Whether it is supply or the familiarity of the environment, we are far ahead of the French. We will definitely win this time." Archibald said loudly. About and Barthley's eyes were equally firm.

At 5 a.m. on the 29th, all four fleets of the US Navy completed their supply. After that, the four fleets were divided into two parts and left Le Lamantan at a distance of 20 kilometers. The fleet did not go south, but hovered in the waters near Martinique, waiting for the French fleet to rise.

About 20 kilometers away from them, several French Navy destroyers were paying close attention to the movements of the US Navy and reported their latest situation to the French Navy.

The morning sunlight dyed the entire sea surface a piece of gold, and the sea surface seemed very quiet. If it weren't for the squadron of warships who quickly crossed the ocean and caused waves, this would undoubtedly be a very beautiful picture.

However, the sound of the whistle and the rolling smoke destroyed the beautiful scenery.

"How long will it take to arrive at Martinique?" Kirkbride asked. He almost fell asleep all night. So, just dawn, he arrived on the bridge of the Azores.

"General, it's 7 a.m. We have up to 6 hours to encounter the US fleet. According to the news sent back by the reconnaissance ship, the US fleet is in the western waters of Martinique!" The navigator reported to Kirkbride.

"Are you 6 hours? After 3 hours, order the ships to start combat preparations. This time, we must destroy the enemy!" Kirkbride issued an order. The reason he delayed 3 hours was to give the soldiers as much rest as possible. Yesterday's whole day of battle made the soldiers very tired. Rest for 3 hours more can also recover a little more. Only God knows how long this naval battle will last.

On the bridge of the current flagship of the Strait Fleet, the USS Amiens, Hechris also ordered the communication officer to send a telegram. Except for Hechris and a few people, no one knew the content of the telegram. This was a combat order sent to the "Glorious" fleet. It is now confirmed that the final battle between the two countries will be launched in the western waters of Martinique. The subsequent US fleet will also arrive on the 30th. Therefore, the "Glorious" fleet crossed the Martinique Strait on the 30th and gave the US fleet a final blow to the battlefield on the 30th. This will establish the final victory.

Although the navies of both sides have not met yet, France, the United States and Canada on both sides of the Atlantic have already focused on this. The final decisive battle will be launched here. Who can win the final victory? Both France and the United States have great confidence in their naval posters. The United States is because from the current comparison of strength between the two sides, the alliance between the United States and Canada has an absolute advantage. France is because all this is basically developing around the "boseidon Plan" they formulated. The basic main line has not changed at all, but some details have been slightly changed. Moreover, this time, the "Glorious" fleet that consumed countless financial, material and manpower of the French Navy will also participate in the war. French Emperor Xiao Jie and all those who know that the existence of the Brilliant fleet have great confidence in them. Those who have never seen them are absolutely unimaginable.
