Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 297
As expected yesterday, the Jialan sea area today was still shrouded in thick fog.The Gloria, which was waiting on the dock, was shrouded in fog, and its crude equipment appeared and disappeared.The sun rises slowly in the east, but only a small milky white disk can be vaguely seen, showing no dignity as a nearby star.

Led by Chi Peng, four aircraft carriers and two battleships stood on the dock ready to go.Keeling stood with the crew of the Gloria as the logistics personnel for this operation.

One-third of the crew on the Garland are experienced veterans, and the remaining third are trained novice.On weekdays, their training was all about talking and laughing. The old sailors would always tell some jokes about the sea, and most of them were pornographic, which made the novices feel jealous.

However, after Keelin boarded the ship and started joint training, the sailors became more restrained. First, because Keelin is a sea soul. For sea souls, no matter what kind of Federation people they are, they will have absolute respect for them. After all, they are here to protect The security of the Federation is the main force fighting desperately on the battlefield.

If sailors are naturally indifferent to rules, and even deacons can tease them at will, then it is these cute sea souls that they respect the most. Only those who have faced the danger of mirages can deeply understand this. The dangers these girls face in their daily battles.

Of course, there are some reasons why Keelin looks very young. They can ignore adult rules, but they will never let their children be infected in this way. This is an unspoken rule in the maritime industry. Anyone who dares to touch women and children will be punished. The enemy of the entire nautical world.

In a sense, these low-level sailors are full of contradictions. They sneer at the secular rules, but they are the most surviving group in the entire Federation, even more surviving than those high-ranking ruling nobles. No wonder Some people who have not yet integrated into the aristocratic and silly atmosphere will lower themselves to become sailors.There is one son Huang Jiang knows. I heard that Ernest was a sailor for a few years before he was admitted to the Federal University, fishing at sea for a living. That experience still left traces on him. Although he looks bohemian, he has a tough heart far beyond ordinary people.

But now, facing the upcoming battle, the crew members on the Jialan no longer have their usual playful smiles. They all have tense faces and look straight at the Huangjiang River. However, there is no timidity in their eyes, and they are even full of fear. With excitement and enthusiasm, it seemed that what was coming was not dancing on the edge of the battlefield, but a grand barbecue party.

Huang Jiang had long been accustomed to being watched, and his expression did not change. He walked forward calmly and calmly, and said calmly:
"Yeah, your task next is very heavy. The sea soul ladies of Jialan want to give their friends a noble gift, and you are the porters who will transport this gift. If everything goes well, Mirage friends will definitely love this gift.”

As he said that, Huang Jiang's eyes flickered, and a series of battles with mirages passed before his eyes. Some of them were his personal experiences, and some were scenes of battles between ship girls that he had imagined.But whatever that picture is.In that battle, Huang Jiang could proudly say: I did not allow the islands under my command to be directly attacked by any mirage.

This is true.

After Huang Jiang came to Jialan, Mirage never attacked the mainland of Jialan again. Whether it was the original Jialan Island, or the Iris and Wutou Islands that were later occupied, Mirage's shells never landed on it. of.

This is a feat worth bragging about, especially in the waters where the Federation's borders have the most frequent friction with mirages.In the eyes of the original Jialan people, this was a miracle that they would never dare to imagine. However, in just over a year since Huang Jiang took office, he has achieved this with practical actions.

This has also caused the people of Gloria to have a rapid increase in their sense of belonging to the Gloria. This is very rare in the Azure Federation, which has always had the habit of immigrating. The people of a land have not considered moving away from this land, which is enough to show the attitude of the local deacons. How powerful the ability is.

And now, Huang Jiang will once again show his strength to his subjects.

Starting a war against two mirage islands at the same time is something that has never happened to the Federation in the past ten years.What's more, the peak performance in the past ten years was achieved by Huang Jiang and Sartre.

Huang Jiang is well aware of the dangers of doing so. Attacking and occupying the island is like an ordinary maritime encounter. It faces many difficulties. The last time he attacked Iris Island, he had to let Hood and Reputation take the risk to go to Iris. The east of the island blocked the mirage troops who came to rescue.But this time, he couldn't muster enough troops to stop the reinforcements.The pressure on the ship girls to attack the enemy suddenly increased, and they could only consider quickly ending the battle and occupying the two islands before the mirage on Violet Island could react.

Huang Jiang couldn't wait any longer.

This time the mirage's attack had already made him see that West Wind Drifting began to pay attention to Jialan who had just developed.Especially after repelling Edelweiss Island, Huang Jiang was convinced that the West Wind Drifting Front would gradually increase the blockade of Jialan in the coming time, and even form regular harassment, which would make Huang Jiang more vulnerable in the coming time. Can only be busy with the attack of the mirage and unable to focus on development.

This is something Huang Jiang absolutely does not want to see. If Jialan cannot continue to develop, it means that the huge amount of summoning funds it needs will have no source, and the summoning of ship girls will be greatly hindered.

Nothing made him feel more at risk than preventing him from reuniting with his wives.

It is necessary to take control of Yuluo Island and Malan Island in a short period of time before Mirage can react, break through the island chain blockade that Mirage may organize, and even attack Violet Island when necessary to let Mirage Losing the springboard to directly attack the important islands of Jialan ensures that the safe period of Jialan's development can continue to be extended.

Huang Jiang doesn't know if Mirage has such a strategy, but judging from the fact that they took advantage of the conflicts between the governors to capture the Edelweiss Territory, even if they don't have clear strategic thinking, they still have enough intuition to seize the opportunity. .

Huang Jiang is unwilling to leave the initiative in Mirage's hands, and constant defense will eventually make mistakes. Only after breaking the opponent's backbone, defense will be a matter of high error tolerance and easy to grasp.

The speech was very brief. Huang Jiang did not want to waste too much time. The more he spoke, the farther it would take for the fleet to reach Yuanluo Island. If the thick fog dissipated by then and the fleet was prematurely exposed to the mirage, I don’t know how many accidents will happen.

This battle was inherently a risky move, and Huang Jiang would never allow any human error.

Following Huang Jiang's order, the ship ladies unfolded their ship uniforms and headed in the direction of Yuanluo Island under the leadership of Zhi Peng, while Keelin boarded the Gloria and directed the ship to follow the direction of the fleet.

At the same time, the Royal Navy had set off from Wutou Island and headed for Malan Island with the Iris.

The arrow is on the string, ready to go.
