    When the news that Xiangjiang was taken back reached Fatty Qiu¡¯s ears, he suddenly became furious.

    Although he is known as the iron-blooded prime minister in history, and Zhang Bolun is known as the most incompetent prime minister in the history of the Geely Empire, the two of them have the same views on some issues.

    For example, in their attitude towards the Oriental Yellow people, they are surprisingly consistent.

    ¡°In fact, it¡¯s not just them, the entire West treats Easterners with the same contemptuous attitude.

    It¡¯s just that Fatty Qiu and the others showed it more obviously.

    It¡¯s just that Mustache said it directly, but on the surface they claim freedom and equality, but secretly they are doing discriminatory things.

    Otherwise, why should we discriminate against black people and why should we discriminate against yellow people?  Isn't this clear evidence?

    After being furious, Fatty Qiu ordered the naval fleet that was about to enter the East China Sea area to speed up and reach Tianhai Port as soon as possible, eliminate the navy, and then destroy Tianhai, this important city.

    On the morning of January 10, 1940, Jingnan Military Academy, Pentagon, Supreme Command, Operation Hall

    "Has our naval fleet all set off? Is the air force ready to take off?"

    Zhou Weiguo stood in front of the huge map hanging on the wall with a cold expression, looked at the map and said in a deep voice.

    "The Army Aviation has five air force divisions, and more than a thousand fighter planes are on standby. Fifteen Stuka dive bomber groups have been prepared and ready to take off at any time.

    Hainan Airlines has prepared more than 600 torpedo planes. In addition, Navy Commander Chen Houfu sent a telegram requesting war.  I hope their navy can participate in this battle!  "

    At this time, He Yuchen has been recalled and is currently assisting Zhou Weiguo.

    "No! You go and generate electricity for Chen Houfu. The navy can participate in the war if it wants to, but it can only send one battleship and three aircraft carriers. The rest of the main ships are not allowed to participate in this battle, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

    Zhou Weiguo decisively rejected Chen Houfu's request.

    "Where has the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet arrived now?"

    Zhou Weiguo continued to ask without turning his head.

    ¡°We are about to arrive in Wenzhou!¡±

    "Wenzhou? Haha! Very good! Order all the aircraft at the sea-based airports to attack with the entire army at two o'clock this afternoon. Their mission this afternoon is to destroy the two aircraft carriers and then sink the remaining ships, leaving those  Five battleships and heavy cruisers. I will kill them and make them the laughing stock of the world!"

    "yes!"

    He Yuchen went to give orders, but Zhou Weiguo was still looking at the map.

    After a while, He Yuchen came back.

    "Yuchen, what do Mi Jian's military delegation think of this matter? Did they express any opinions?"

    Zhou Weiguo suddenly asked.

    "General Ma Xie, the head of their delegation, said in a vague way that they, Mi Jian, do not want our troops to enter India Island. If necessary, they may intervene in this matter!"

    Zhou Weiguo nodded after hearing this without any expression.

    In the majestic sea, a huge fleet composed of five battleships and two aircraft carriers was riding the wind and waves, heading into the distance.

    Outside the bridge of the battleship Prince of Wales, Lord Somerville, the commander of Geely's operation, and Le Goff, the commander of the French Navy, were standing outside the bridge at this time.

    "Mr. Somerville, you don't seem to be optimistic about this operation?"

    Legoff looked at Somerville next to him and asked with a squinted smile.

    "Oh? How do you see that I am not optimistic about this operation?"

    Somerville looked at the majestic waves of the sea and asked calmly without looking back.

    "I can tell from your frown. You seem to be worried about something!"

    Legoff said with a shrug.

    Somerville did not object, but asked: "What do you think of this operation?"

    "I don't have any opinion. But I think we should teach those arrogant Chinese people a lesson!"

    After hearing this, Somerville turned to look at Legoff and said: "Do you really think so? Or do you think there is no way to deal with us?"

    "Of course! I heard that their army is good, but can their army go to the sea? I think they can't do anything except flopping in the sea a few times!"

    Legoff, with his unique Gallic romanticism, was not worried about this operation.

    Somerville's MouthHis lips moved, but in the end he turned around without saying anything and continued to look at the sea.

    "Hi! General Somerville, can you tell me why you are not optimistic about this operation?"

    After a long time, Somerville said softly: "I heard that the Japanese fleet sent squadrons to attack twice before. But they ended in failure. I heard that two aircraft carriers were captured and two battleships were sunk.

    In the end, they were forced to retreat due to huge casualties.  And from then on, the Japanese Navy no longer dared to retaliate lightly, and even did not dare to approach their coast!  "

    "Yes? Then how did they repel the Japanese fleet?"

    This time Legoff¡¯s face also became serious. He knew that Somerville would never lie at this time.

    If they really have such strength, then their actions this time are indeed a bit worrying.

    "Planes! They used their huge fleet to defeat the Japanese fleet and caused them heavy losses!"

    "Plane? Oh! General Somerville, you didn't last night"

    "General Somerville, the reconnaissance plane has returned news that a huge group of aircraft has appeared to the west and in front of us, and they are flying towards us. They are expected to arrive over the fleet in twenty minutes!"

    Just as Legoff was about to laugh at Somerville, a staff officer hurriedly ran out from the bridge conning tower and shouted loudly.

    "What? A huge fleet of aircraft is coming towards us? How many aircraft are there?"

    When Somerville heard the news, he was shocked.

    "I don't know! The reconnaissance plane only said that the number of aircraft is definitely in the thousands, and he doesn't know the specific number. Now he has died in the battle!"

    The staff officer ran to Somerville and said loudly.

    "Damn it! Twenty minutes left? Quick! Order the fleet to deploy air defense formation immediately, and all fighters on the aircraft carrier to take off immediately to meet the enemy!"

    Now Somerville had no time to think about anything else and immediately gave the order.

    At an altitude of five thousand meters, the fleet of planes that blotted out the sky and the sun were rushing towards the East China Sea area at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

    At the same time, there was a group of Stuka dive bombers among them.

    "Attention, all planes! In ten minutes, our army will arrive at the enemy fleet. The fleet will immediately lower its altitude, change its attack formation, and prepare to attack!"

    A voice suddenly entered the channels of all planes.

    Then the entire fleet began to lower its altitude, and the original formation suddenly changed and expanded into an attack formation!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
