    "No need! We just report the situation to General Mike truthfully! We lost this time. Unexpectedly, China has been waiting for reinforcements for a long time. This should be a trap for China!"

    Bradley can be regarded as one of the top five players in the Citi Army in history, which must be a very capable player.  Don't underestimate anyone who leaves a mark in history, because anyone who can leave a strong mark in history is very capable.

    "A trap?"

    Lake¡¯s brows furrowed tightly, and he didn¡¯t understand.  How did this become a trap?

    "Yes! That's right! It's a trap! Think about it! Our support fleet and the Chinese fleet met, and a large-scale air battle broke out. Then we sent a fleet of reinforcements and rushed to the battle area to support. But who knows what will happen soon?  When they arrived, they were suddenly intercepted by a fleet of carrier-based aircraft that China had prepared.

    Our support was in vain, and on the other side, Major General Giffin sent a telegram that they were attacked by the Chinese submarine force.  These submarine forces came and went without a trace. Our naval fleet did not notice their presence at all. Instead, four aircraft carriers and other ships were sunk.

    ¡°If you say there was no conspiracy in the beginning of all this, I won¡¯t believe it.  Judging from China's troop deployment speed and reaction speed, they should have had a premeditated plan.  I would be surprised if Giffen didn't retreat at this time!  "

    Bradley¡¯s tone was very calm when he spoke, as if he had already guessed that Giffen would retreat early.

    "But what should we do now? General Giffin's support fleet has withdrawn to the Solomon Islands, and now our situation here is very critical!"

    "Wait! Giffen has already made plans to withdraw his fleet to the Solomon Islands. He can no longer take the Coral Sea, but the Solomon Sea, passing through the southern part of the Bismarck Islands to the eastern city of Tufi in Papua Guinea. As long as he can  If Tufi lands, we still have a chance!¡±

    It must be said that Bradley has a very vicious vision and good predictability.  Giffen certainly thinks so.  At the beginning, Giffen's fleet set out from the Hawaiian Islands, went all the way south, made a circle from Fiji Island and entered the Coral Sea, preparing to land in Port Moresby.

    As for why Giffen¡¯s fleet did not directly pass through the Marshall Islands, reach the northern part of the Bismarck Islands, and land on Papua Guinea from the Bismarck Sea, this question is very simple.

    It¡¯s not that Giffen doesn¡¯t want to, but the Bismarck Sea is the area where the Chinese Pacific Fleet operates.  From the area of ??Guam and Saipan to the Bismarck Sea and the northern part of the Bismarck Sea, they all fall within the scope of activities of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. The possibility of being exposed wherever they go is really too high. In addition, wherever they go is too close to the land,  It was easy to be besieged by the Chinese Army Aviation, so Giffen had to make a circle.

    Nancheng, Military Academy, Pentagon, Navy Department area, Chen Houfu¡¯s office

    It¡¯s almost seven o¡¯clock in the afternoon, and the sun has already set. Although it¡¯s not dark yet, it will happen soon.

    Chen Houfu¡¯s office was still brightly lit. His secretary placed a cup of brewed black tea on his desk and walked out quietly.

    ¡°Bang~bang~bang~¡±

    There was a knock on the door, and Chen Houfu was interrupted. He came back from his work, listened to the knock on the door, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

    Shen Chengzhang opened the door and walked in.

    "Chengzhang, why are you here?"

    Seeing Shen Chengzhang, Chen Houfu showed a smile on his face.  Chen Houfu and Shen Chengzhang had quite a conflict before. To put it bluntly, one represented a battleship and the other represented an aircraft carrier.

    The two argued on this point, but as time passed, Shen Chengzhang also understood that the battleship had indeed withdrawn from its status as a maritime hegemon.  A small plane can sink a battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.

    After his thoughts changed, naturally, the conflict between him and Chen Houfu disappeared.  On the contrary, the two of them, one is the Minister of the Navy and the other is the Deputy Minister, need to work together on many things, which also leads to the current good relationship between Chen Houfu and Shen Chengzhang.

    "Haha! It's been so long since I got off work. I heard you haven't left yet, so I came to take a look!"

    Shen Chengzhang smiled and sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Houfu and said with a smile.

    "Are you off work?"

    After hearing this, Chen Houfu couldn't help but raise his wrist and look at his watch.

    "Haha! I really didn't expect that it's already past seven o'clock! It seems like it's really time to get off work!"

    Chen Houfu felt a little emotionalHe said, there are many things he needs to be busy with now!

    China and the United States went to war, and the navy was the main force on the Pacific battlefield.  Today's first battle with the Citi Navy seemed to go smoothly, but it was only because of the intelligence they had received before and some of the reasons why they were ahead of the United States in technology that they won the battle.

    But the victory in this battle is not enough to change the entire Pacific battlefield. There are still many things they need to be busy with.

    "That's right! Why didn't you leave?"

    Chen Houfu thought of Shen Chengzhang sitting opposite him and couldn't help but ask.  Generally, their off-duty time is at 5:30 pm. They have to get off work at 5:30 pm. It has been almost two hours since they got off work now.

    "It's not the same as you! This afternoon, the Australian Fleet Commander Chen Ce sent a telegram. They won the victory and sank four Citizen aircraft carriers. It was all the credit of the submarine force. He was a little unwilling to accept it. This time he sent a telegram. He hoped that  It is possible to move the Falcon fighter aircraft in service with the Army Aviation to the aircraft carrier and convert them into carrier-based aircraft.

    Just now, I was still discussing this issue with the technical department, discussing modifications to the latest Falcon fighter jets in service by the Army Aviation.  "

    Shen Chengzhang smiled and shook his head.  The Hellcat carrier-based aircraft is a good carrier-based aircraft, but wartime is also the time when technology advances the fastest.

    All technologies must serve war, and all technologies are constantly being updated.  Two years ago, the Hellcat was the most advanced carrier-based aircraft in the world, and now!  It seems a bit insufficient!

    "Converting Falcon fighter aircraft into carrier-based aircraft? What is the outcome of the discussion?"

    Chen Houfu¡¯s face showed an expression of interest, and he was also very interested in this.

    "Not good! The Falcon fighter was designed by China East Airlines according to the requirements of the Army Aviation. The overall size of this fighter is much larger than our Hellcat carrier-based aircraft. And the Falcon fighter also has runway requirements.

    When they land, their gliding distance has greatly exceeded the deck length of our Yanzhou-class aircraft carrier.  So it is estimated that it will be difficult to send Falcon fighter jets to the aircraft carrier!  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
