Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 592 592 The Fleet Returning

"Dangdang!" Just as Tang Mo finally finished one blueprint and was about to start copying the second one, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Tang Mo ordered casually, and then saw the tall and strong bartender walk in and stand by the door.

The guards knew that Alice came to visit Tang Mo, so if there was no urgent information, they would not allow the bartender to knock on Tang Mo's door.

What they didn't know was that Tang Mo was a normal man, and he couldn't squander himself without pressure like in some novels.

What should be done has already been done, and he even had time to draw drawings for more than an hour under Alice's gaze.

"What's the matter?" Tang Mo didn't care much about the battle situation on the front line now, the outcome was already decided for him, so there was nothing to worry about.

Unless the Great Hua Empire and the Chu State can immediately declare war on the Tang State, there will not be much change in the situation on the battlefield.

It is simply unrealistic to expect the mirage troops to come out and defeat the Tang army that surrounded them, or to expect the prince of Qi to cheer up and launch a counterattack.

The eldest prince didn't even have enough ammunition. The main reason why he can persist until now is that Tang Jun didn't kill him.

As for Mirage, it is now bombarded every day, and then bombed again. It is too frightening to take care of itself. It is definitely overthinking to organize a counterattack.

The bartender said: "Your Majesty! We have received a report that a large number of airship troops have been found in the southern waters of the Endless Sea."

"Airship?" Tang Mo was slightly taken aback. He really didn't expect Cyric to have the guts to use such an expensive but useless outdated weapon.

To him, these weapons were a complete scam, and the only reason he used the airship was to advertise it.

"Yes, the sailors of a Liberty Ship found this airship unit, and they reported the situation. There are dozens of airships, and they are not far from Long Island." The bartender briefly introduced the situation.

Tang Mo almost laughed out loud when he heard the news: "Good guy, are they heading for Long Island?"

"Yes! Obviously, they intend to sneak attack Long Island and destroy our industrial facilities there." The bartender nodded and said to Tang Mo.

Hearing the news, Tang Mo even began to wonder whether the Cyric decision maker who made such a decision had lost his mind.

Knowing that the Tang army has new weapons such as fighter jets, they dared to send airship troops to participate in the battle in this way.
"The air force calculated the speed. When the opponent approached Long Island, it was at night! Our fighter jets couldn't intercept it at all." The bartender explained again.

"Oh!" Tang Mo nodded slightly: "I see! They are planning to use the night as a cover to attack Long Island!"

"Probably so." The bartender immediately agreed with Tang Mo's judgment.

Tang Mo nodded slightly again: "They wouldn't be so naive as to think that my fighter force wouldn't be able to find these idiots' airships at sea, would they?"

"..." The bartender didn't speak.

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and called out to his secretary: "Secretary! Come in! Send my order to Harry to let the garrison air force fighter jets stationed on Dragon Island take off and intercept any aircraft that try to approach Dragon Island!"

"Yes!" The secretary saluted behind the bartender, turned around and walked out of the room.

"Sneak attack on Dragon Island, they are really creative!" Tang Mo thought for a while, and then said, "Since they sent airships, will they also send battleships?"

"Very likely!" The bartender came to deliver the message, and did not leave immediately after delivering the message, just to remind Tang Mo that the other party might attack Long Island with all his strength.

Tang Mo silently calculated the strength of Longdao in his mind: there are now a population of more than 200 million, and two divisions are stationed there. It can be said that the shore is very safe.

On the endless sea, Tang Mo couldn't think of anyone else who could transport so many troops to land remotely at one go, and even he didn't have such capacity.

If the opponent just sent a few thousand people to land, it would not be enough for Tang Jun to fight.There is a tank teaching corps on Long Island, as well as the Air Force Academy, and the students who study there can almost repel thousands of enemy troops.

In addition to these troops, Tang Mo also left an air force on the island. These air forces are equipped with fighter jets, and their mission is to ensure the absolute safety of the air above Long Island.

There was no other way. In order to support the frontline operations, Tang Mo transferred all the Stuka dive bombers he could transfer away, as well as the bomber unit of the Flying Fortress.

Although the remaining Butcher fighter units are not very good at ground support, they can be used to fight Cyric's airships very well.

Even Tang Mo doubted whether the airship force assembled by Cyric was enough for two Butcher fighter jets.

Therefore, Tang Mo had no doubt that he had absolute advantages in the air and land, so he began to plan his own naval fleet.

It is not the main fleet of Datang Kingdom that stays on Long Island, but a sub-fleet.Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this fleet is actually not strong, and it really does not have an absolute advantage compared with the navies of various countries.

Now, there are dozens of steel warships in various countries, some purchased from Datang Group, some purchased from Cyric, in short, there are quite a few of them.

If these warships are really assembled, Tang's navy will not have an advantage if the Tang army does not dispatch the Dongwan-class battleships.

The three former Wolf-class cruisers that have been renamed the Weigang-class deployed on Longdao, and the nine Fengshun-class destroyers (previously simplified destroyers) that were built in a hurry, their combat effectiveness is indeed mediocre.

Grabbing the phone in front of him, Tang Mo ordered, "Let Loew and the naval liaison officer come to my office."

Soon, Loew walked in with the naval liaison officer and stood in front of Tang Mo.Tang Mo motioned them to find a place to sit down, while he sorted out the blueprints and put them aside.

"Bartender, tell them the news." Tang Mo sat next to Alice, grabbed the boiling water on the coffee table, and took a sip.

Soon, the people who came later will understand the ins and outs of the matter.Love's face became serious, and the naval liaison officer also frowned.

"Your Majesty, if Cyric really dispatches the navy, then we will probably fall into a passive position near Dragon Island." Loew organized his words and said to Tang Mo.

The naval liaison officer also added: "Your Majesty, if the enemy bombards the port, we will lose the dock and dock, which will seriously affect the production capacity of Longgang and Weigang."

Tang Mo was actually most worried about this: the other party was only here to make trouble, not to land on Dragon Island.They only need to smash the bottles and cans of Longdao, and it will take a lot of time and energy for Tang Mo to restore production capacity.

The most deceitful thing is that Longgang not only has docks and docks, it also has the most important facilities: oil refineries and pipelines.

If these gadgets were destroyed, Tang Mo would not be able to guarantee his energy supply.His various advanced troops are oil tigers. Once there is a problem with the energy supply, the Tang army will be as tragic as the German army in 1944.

"I suggest letting Bernard return! At least it can stabilize the situation on Dragon Island." Loew looked at Tang Mo and suggested, "Oil is the most important thing, not to mention that there are various factories in Dragon Island. Destroyed, we're going to lose shipping for at least a week, it's horrific."

In his opinion, the oil supply is the most important thing. As for the mirage people in Beiyuan City, they are not worthy of comparison.

The naval liaison officer also nodded: "Your Majesty! I also think that without General Bernard's main fleet, relying solely on the squadron will not be able to guarantee the safety of the port. Moreover, if the enemy forces attack Weigang and Longgang at the same time , the squadron cannot guarantee the safety of the two ports at the same time!"

"Ha! Cyric really did a good deal! They only used a bunch of outdated airships to force my main fleet to turn around and return..." Tang Mo sighed unwillingly.

It is not easy to find the enemy's fleet in the vast sea, so until now it is not sure whether the enemy's fleet participated in the attack on Dragon Island.

But in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Tang Mo could only acquiesce that there was an enemy fleet approaching Longdao.In order to be sure, Tang Mo could only recall his main fleet.

After he sighed with emotion, he had to admit another fact: "It seems that our enemies are smarter than we thought!"

"Your Majesty!" Loew wanted to try to persuade him again. He thought Tang Mo was unwilling to give up the great opportunity to seriously damage the Mirage Kingdom.

But Tang Mo stopped him: "Let Bernard return to the voyage! Keeping Dragon Island is the top priority! There is no room for loss! He will definitely be very irritable, but there is no way around it."

After ordering his fleet to turn back south, Tang Mo continued: "They made such a move, there must be a follow-up! Order the navy's patrol ships... to pay close attention to the movement of the Phantom Navy's fleet!"

"We have to consider one thing now..." After giving the order, Tang Mo looked at Loew: "If the Phantom Navy goes south, trying to cut off the transportation from Linshui to Dongwan, and from Dongwan to Longdao line, what shall we do?"

Originally, the Tang State Navy was going to wipe out the Mirage State Navy, but now, the offensive and defensive momentum seems to be reversed.Tang Mo's restrained navy was attracted to the south, and Tang Mo felt the pressure of breaking the war for the first time.

Somewhat annoyed, he added again: "Since they sent an airship troop to pose a problem for us, don't even think about going back with this bait! Order the Air Force of Dragon Island to attack! Shoot down all the airships! Don't leave them behind." Any ship!"
