Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 686 Looking for the Lost Aluminum
"This island should be..."

Violet Sea, the eastern sea area of ​​​​Snakeberry Island, is an open sea area. The sky is just right at this time. One or two seagulls fly in the sky from time to time. The sea surface is sparkling with silver. Just now, another school of fish passed by this sea area.

After several days of overtime work, York City finally discovered an island from the perspective of a reconnaissance plane.

This is a very small island, only about half the area of ​​Jialan Island, and slightly larger than Lanbin Island.

Intuition told York City that this island was definitely a big fish.

This can be seen from the large number of mirages stationed on the island.

No, York City's plane had just emerged when York City saw three planes suddenly appear on the island in front of them, and none of them were the mirage bombers that York City was familiar with.

It's a fighter jet.

After a fight, York City came to a very definite conclusion.

However, their combat skills were very unfamiliar, and they were still habitually using bomber flying skills. York City only fought for a few rounds before turning away from the battlefield.This is Mirage's airspace, and Lian Zhan is just burning aluminum willfully.

After accelerating away from the enemy's pursuit, York City's plane entered a safe airspace. She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the coordinates of the island she just discovered.

"Have you discovered the island?" Akagi asked with concern.

Ever since they learned that their mission this time was to find the former aluminum ore island of Edelweiss Collar, Akagi became full of energy. If the aircraft carriers were not really incompetent at night, these aircraft carriers on Snakeberry Island would probably have passed. Live the life of 007.

Finding islands in the vast sea is not as simple as imagined. There is no formed continent in the blue world. All land is scattered on the sea in the form of islands. In this environment, it is difficult to create a unified civilization circle. , in comparison, I discovered that the Blue Federation is so lucky. The islands where it is located are very dense. Sometimes you can see another island from a distance without sailing very far on a fishing boat.

After leaving the Violet Sea, the islands become more and more scattered, as if they are moving from the offshore sea to the open sea. Sometimes you may not be able to see the stones even after sailing for two or three days.

Akagi and his party have been stationed on Snakeberry Island for nearly a week. Until just now, they have found nothing but the vast sea. Sometimes they have discovered the activity of one or two mirages, but after following them for a whole day, They are all looking for food. Once night comes, the carrier-based aircraft can only return, and the target will be lost if they attack again.

"Yes." York City nodded happily, "We are very lucky this time. The mirage team we were following is returning."

The "Flying Fish" force in the West Wind Drift is not a regular army, so the aircraft carriers will not be fighting mirages all day long. This is the first time York City has encountered an enemy plane in the past few days.

And this just illustrates the importance of this island.

After so many years of contact, just like they have figured out the way to the deep sea, the ship girls have almost figured out the idea of ​​​​mirage.In the eyes of most mirages, there is no such thing as a strategic location. Even the "Anglefish" as the general flagship cannot fundamentally reverse this general trend. This is why Huangjiang can easily capture Violet Island. On the other hand, Mirage is very fond of Resource Island. In addition to Snakeberry Island because the Orchid Triangle at that time had no spare power, Peanut and the others on Anzu Island also encountered very fierce resistance (although in In the eyes of the Star Destroyer fleet, this resistance is no different than nothing).

Extrapolating from this line of thinking, it is easy to come up with a guess, that is, the island discovered by York City is most likely a resource island. "It is indeed possible." The company replaced the plane that was out of fuel with a fully-supplied reconnaissance plane, and then said, "Being able to discover my sister's plane at the first time and dispatch to intercept it, it seems that the mirage stationed on the island is not simple. The 'flying fish' is a mirage."

"So much attention...do you think it's like an aluminum ore island?" Akagi suddenly said.

The company raised his head and glanced at the fox-eared ship uniform on the cold-faced beauty's head. He trembled. It was obvious that Akagi had entered a state of excitement after the news of the aluminum mine was mentioned.

In this state, the company is a little worried that this guy will suddenly shout "Tiger Tiger Tiger". If this is the case, then they can only personally push the fox girl into the sea to calm down.

Fortunately, Akagi calmed down quickly and asked: "If it is really an aluminum ore island, do you think it will be a tea island?"

York City immediately denied it: "It's impossible. According to the description, Tea Island is at least a big island like Violet. The one I found is only a little bigger than Lanbin Island."

"There are actually 'flying fish' stationed in such a small place?" Akagi was surprised and pleasantly surprised, "It seems that it is indeed a resource island."

"Based on the collected memoirs of the survivors." The company turned out a small book, which contained some landmarks recorded by the survivors of Snow Velvet when they recalled the past. If the aircraft carriers really discovered the island, they might Find clues above to determine the name of the island found, "Aluminum Ore Island is only distributed near Tea Island. If this island is really an Aluminum Ore Island, then Tea Island is not far from here."

"We have to check it out later." Akagi said quickly.

"How's the news on the Hornet side?" Yorktown asked Enterprise.

In order to maximize the reconnaissance speed, the aircraft carrier fleet was divided into two. One team was led by Akagi and led York City and Enterprise to search from the east side of Snakeberry Island. The other team was led by Dafeng and led Dafeng. Wasp and Saratoga set off from Anzu Island and headed east in search.Because in the memories of a large number of Edelweiss survivors, the location of the tea island is within the range extending to the left and right of the sea between the two islands.

Enterprise shook his head and said: "There is no news yet. They have been looking due east. If the information is correct, they will find Rose Island soon."

Rose Island is an island located due east of Anzu Island. Because the direction of this island is very easy to recognize, many Edelweiss survivors have memorized it.By the way, like Anzu Island, Rose Island is also an iron ore island.

In fact, this sea area was a very famous iron ore producing area in history. Anzu Island, Qiangwei Island, Cycad Island and Dongqingdao in the tulip collar form a very stable Iron Square, and it is also the most abundant iron ore production area. There is an island, and further east, the number of iron ore deposits drops sharply. According to declassified information, there may be two more iron ore islands, but their locations are not recorded.

There is no shortage of iron ore in the Huangjiang River, but this matter is still of great significance. First, no one will think that they have few resources, and secondly, as long as Rose Island is discovered, it is really not far away from Tea Island. It's far away, and when the time comes, Chicheng and others will be able to determine which of the islands they discovered is on the blueprint.

Tea Island is located in the southeast of Rose Island.

Once the tea island is discovered, there will be hope for the rise of aircraft carriers.

Chicheng even has the tableware ready... Oh, no, the carrier-based aircraft are ready to fight for the Yellow River at any time.
