    "Half a month?"

    Yang Jie and Jiang Baili didn¡¯t look good. According to the information, they disappeared half a month ago.  Judging from experience, it means that it takes at least about 20 days for any Citicorp aircraft carrier to leave the Atlantic Ocean.

    Twenty days is enough time to travel from Citi¡¯s east coast through the Panama Canal to Hawaii.

    "Our intelligence department was careless. However, this incident also reflects that Citigroup has slowly shifted its focus to the Pacific battlefield again!"

    At this time, Zhou Weiguo said leisurely.

    "Commissioner, are our attack plans still going ahead?"

    Yang Jie looked at Zhou Weiguo and asked.

    "Of course! Why not? In addition, we need to send a message to Pacific Fleet Commander Chen Jiliang and ask him to send two aircraft carriers and other ships to the eastern part of the Arafura Sea. Be ready to participate in the Coral Sea Battle that is likely to break out at any time.

    In addition, a message was sent to Cao Guosheng, the commander of the task force this time, and told him that since Citi¡¯s ships were not here, they would attack their ports and attack their Hawaiian Islands.  Try your best to blow up everything in Citi!  "

    Zhou Weiguo said very firmly that he would not give up this plan just because of some changes.

    And the real goal of this attack was not to destroy Citigroup's Pacific Fleet, but to arouse Citigroup's anger against Neon.

    Otherwise, why should we prepare so carefully?  Wouldn't it be over if we just let the Pacific Fleet press forward?

    Off the coast of northwest Australia, off Port Moresby, in the Coral Sea, a neon fleet is swimming here.

    Needless to say, they are the Neon Army supporting the naval support fleet operating in Port Moresby.

    This fleet consists of a light aircraft carrier Shoho as the center, plus four heavy cruisers and some destroyers.  Its commander is Narumi Inoue.

    "Is the information we got accurate?"

    At this time, Inoue Narumi was standing on the deck, squinting at the sea level in the distance and asked softly. Standing next to him was the chief of staff of the fleet, Colonel Shotaro Hayashiki.

    "Inoue-kun, this information has been confirmed and is very accurate. And our allies have also sent this information. According to the estimates of the base camp, this time the battleships and warships that Citigroup has just returned to service, plus two  The aircraft carriers should all be heading towards the Coral Sea.

    So far, our reinforcement fleet is on the way and is expected to arrive tomorrow morning!  "

    Neon¡¯s reinforcement fleet is centered on the two large aircraft carriers Zuikaku and Shokaku, and also carries two heavy cruisers and some destroyers.  It can be seen that Neon's reaction is not slow either.

    They immediately dispatched a reinforcement fleet after receiving the information.

    "Yo Xi! Come on! The Citi Army was like a coward some time ago, but this time it can finally fight a good battle!"

    Inoue Narumi said with expectation.

    "Neon on March 12, 1942, in the Coral Sea.

    Now Narumi Inoue is commanding this powerful fleet as Vice Admiral.

    A fleet of three aircraft carriers, six heavy cruisers, and some other ships.

    Takahashi Noshita is a neon pilot, and now he is driving his own carrier-based aircraft to patrol the sea.

    During this period, Inoue Narumi felt that the Citizen Fleet might have entered the Coral Sea, so the reconnaissance planes were sent particularly diligently.

    So Takahashi Noshita was sent out again.

    "Baga and these flags will appear whenever they want. What have they been doing in the Coral Sea? Are they waiting for our slaughter?"

    Takahashi Noshita muttered, Neon Army pilots have killed many Citi Army pilots during these times.

    At this time, just like the early days of World War II in history, Neon's Zero fighter crushed all current Citigroup fighters in terms of low-altitude combat performance.

    When Citigroup pilots took off, they may have been praying not to encounter Neon Army pilots.

    Looking at the sea level that seems to be unchanged, Takahashi Noshita seems to be lacking in interest. If the squad leader hadn't asked him to go out on patrol, I'm afraid he would be on the aircraft carrier reminiscing about last night's dinner.

    And at this moment, a vague shadow of an airplane suddenly appeared among the clouds in the distant sky.

    Although he couldn¡¯t see clearly, Takahashi Noshita also knew that this line of defense was the area he was responsible for patrolling.

    In the entire area, except for himWith a neon carrier-based aircraft, there cannot be other carrier-based aircraft, otherwise the news will also come from the aircraft carrier.

    Now that an unidentified aircraft has appeared, that means it is an enemy, not one of our own.

    "Moses Moses~ This is patrol aircraft No. 013. A suspicious aircraft was found due east of me. It is suspected of being an enemy aircraft! Repeat it again"

    The same news was transmitted back to the Citizen aircraft carrier Lexington from that Citigroup carrier-based aircraft.

    In a sea area in the eastern part of the Coral Sea, there is a Citigroup fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers, eight cruisers and other destroyers.

    Major General Fletcher, the commander of the Citi Army fleet, is also the commander-in-chief.

    His fleet consists of an assault group, a support group, and an aircraft carrier task force.  Among them, the assault group and the support group formed a circular warning line of defense for the two aircraft carriers.  To put it bluntly, it is to escort two aircraft carriers.

    USS Yorktown, this aircraft carrier is also the command ship of Rear Admiral Fletcher.

    "Commander, our reconnaissance plane sent back news that an enemy reconnaissance plane was found due west of him."

    Captain Elliott Bookmaster of the USS Yorktown served as Fletcher's deputy.

    "An enemy reconnaissance plane was found due west of him?"

    After hearing this, Fletcher immediately walked to the chart.

    "Based on the range of reconnaissance planes released by both the enemy and ourselves, the distance between us and the Neon Navy Fleet may not be far away. The maximum distance will not exceed three hundred nautical miles. It's just that the Neon Navy Fleet's mission is to support Moresby  Port, so I think the neon navy fleet should be swimming off the coast of Port Moresby as we had expected."

    To be chosen as the commander of this fleet, Fletcher naturally has some abilities, otherwise he would not be appointed as the commander of this fleet.

    "What do we do now?"

    Colonel Elliot Bookmaster looked at Major General Fletcher and asked.

    "It's very simple! Get closer. This time our mission is to block the Neon Navy's support for Port Moresby and contact the threat of Port Moresby. In addition, we will release more reconnaissance planes. We must detect  The exact location of the neon navy fleet!" (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
