    In the early morning, one meter of sunshine rose from the horizon, and Chen Houfu shook his military uniform.

    In winter, it is really rare to see the warm sun.

    "Brother Houfu, it's ten past seven!"

    Shen Chengzhang came up from behind and said.

    "Yes! It's ten past seven, we should take action!"

    Chen Houfu withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Chengzhang.

    Shen Chengzhang understood what Chen Houfu meant and nodded slightly: "This morning, they once again sent the final coordinates of the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet. Now the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet should be one hundred and sixty nautical miles northeast of us.  .¡±

    "One hundred and sixty nautical miles? According to our previous predictions, they will retreat next. Move closer! Order the fleet to move closer. Except for some of the escort aircraft, the carrier-based aircraft on our three aircraft carriers will all  Release it to attack their broken fleet, and let our battleships and heavy cruisers escort the front to deal with possible emergencies."

    Chen Houfu thought about it and decided on the next action plan.

    Chen Houfu is moving closer to the Geely Gallic Combined Fleet, and the sea-based airport here has also begun to take off Stuka dive bombers.

    Stuka dive bombers and torpedo planes began to take off urgently, and their target was also the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet preparing to go south.

    On board the battleship Prince of Wales

    "Somerville, our fleet is much slower than before. If this continues, we may be discovered by those opponents sooner or later!"

    Legoff is very worried now. He no longer has the optimism he had yesterday, and even has a hint of pessimism in his heart.

    Yesterday, in one afternoon, we used a group of planes to hit them so that they did not dare to fight back.

    ????????????????????????????

    In the past, naval battles were conducted, battleships were bombarding each other, and there were many cases where the outcome could not be determined even after a whole day of fighting.

    Many times two huge fleets collide, from the initial contact battle to the intermittent naval battles that follow. It is common for a large sea battle to last for several days.

    As a result, we are now using aircraft to tell them that the model of naval warfare has changed, and your previous views are outdated.

    "I know! This speed is currently our fastest speed. Our battleships are all damaged to varying degrees. We can only go so fast now."

    Somerville is not in a hurry?  joke!

    Yesterday, when a torpedo hit the Prince of Wales and tore several large holes, Somerville understood one thing.

    Airplanes finally pose a threat to battleships. Perhaps small aircraft could not pose any threat to battleships before.

    But now that the planes carry torpedoes, even the battleships can¡¯t handle them!

    Then the two fell silent again, both looking at the sea in silence.

    Today¡¯s weather is very good. The sun is shining warmly on people¡¯s bodies. It¡¯s no exaggeration to say that the sky is clear.

    And the result of this is that Somerville received a message from the reconnaissance plane.

    "Reporting to your Excellency, General, an enemy reconnaissance plane has been spotted forty nautical miles northwest of us."

    "What? Forty nautical miles? Found an enemy reconnaissance plane?"

    Hearing the news from the aircraft carrier, Somerville suddenly turned around.

    How far is forty nautical miles?  It may take more than an hour for a warship, but for an airplane, it only takes less than ten minutes.

    You must know that on the sea, one nautical mile is equal to 1.8 kilometers, and forty nautical miles is only 72 kilometers.

    It takes more than ten minutes and less than twenty minutes.

    Somerville¡¯s face turned blue and white, as if he was thinking about something.

    There was also a look of panic on Legoff's face next to him. Although he suppressed it quickly, he still felt a little flustered.

    No one wants to die, this is human nature.  Yesterday's naval battle had made Le Goff a little afraid of those fleets of aircraft that covered the sky.

    "Turn, order the fleet to turn immediately and sail towards the central axis of the East China Sea."

    Finally, Somerville gritted his teeth and said.

    "Somerville, this will violate our agreement with Neon. What should we do if they attack us?"

    As soon as Legoff heard what Somerville said,?I was suddenly shocked and said.

    "Will not!"

    Somerville¡¯s expression looked firm, as if he was confident in his judgment.

    "Why?"

    "The reason why Neon agreed to such conditions with us is just because they were afraid that our fleet would be disadvantageous to them. Previously we had five battleships, two aircraft carriers and other various types of ships. It was already a huge force in the world.  fleet.

    It is inevitable for Neon to worry, but now that we are seriously damaged, we no longer pose much of a threat to them.

    Therefore, some of the agreements we have with Neon no longer need to be implemented seriously.

    Now we're over the axis, they won't say anything!  "

    To be honest, if Neon had not formed an alliance with us, Somerville's words would be very reasonable, and Neon would not rashly go against them.

    But now, that¡¯s not necessarily the case.

    Southern part of Neon, eastern part of the East China Sea, on the battleship Nagato during the Combined Fleet period

    At present, Neon¡¯s Yamato-class battleship has not yet been fully manufactured, so the flagship of the Neon Combined Fleet is still the Nagato battleship.

    Originally, according to history, Sugimoto Isogyu would use the Akagi as a flagship after he became the commander of the combined fleet.

    However, the previous Chicheng was captured by Zhou Weiguo, and the one they built later is still in the dock.

    So now Sugimoto Isogyu can only regard the Nagato as its flagship.

    "Sugimoto-kun, our reconnaissance plane sent news that the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet has indeed sailed towards the central axis."

    At this time, Ozawa Saburo stood on Sugimoto Isoryu and said.

    Now Saburo Ozawa has been promoted to lieutenant general, and Sugimoto Isoryu admired him very much, so he transferred him to his side as chief of staff.

    "Yo Xi! These Geely Gallic fleets are really ungrateful. They dare to break the rules. Order the fleet to move closer and let them retreat to the west of the central axis!"

    Sugimoto Isoryu said with a smile.

    "Ha~yi~"

    Ozawa Saburo carried out Sugimoto Isogyu¡¯s orders unconditionally.  This is why Sugimoto Isoryu wanted to transfer him to serve as chief of staff. Otherwise, who would want to cause trouble for himself?

    After a while, Saburo Ozawa came back.

    "Sugimoto-kun, haven't you always avoided conflicts with Geely Gaul Citigroup before? Why are you taking the initiative to force them now?"

    Ozawa Saburo asked immediately after he came back, because Sugimoto's approach this time was completely different from before.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
