Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 778
Dafeng's carrier-based aircraft finally discovered the whereabouts of "Flying Fish". "Flying Fish" also noticed the aircraft carrier's reconnaissance plane, but she didn't care at all that her whereabouts were discovered. She just sent a plane to drive away Dafeng's reconnaissance plane. ,

Although the Akagi Fleet knew where the "Flying Fish" was, they also knew that they were at a disadvantage. Their rash attack had no real effect other than wasting aluminum.

So both parties were in such a strange atmosphere, and no one took any action.

What Lexington cares more about is the purpose of "Flying Fish"'s trip. If it is said that "Flying Fish" came back from the outside just to wander around the edge of the buffer zone, Lexington would never believe it.But judging from their current performance, these mirages do not have a strong desire to attack, as if they are announcing their existence to the aircraft carriers.

"Sure enough." Lexington probably understood in his heart, "These guys are really just trying to lure us here."

Akagi also knew that Lexington had made such a guess before, and now the Mirage's performance was exactly as Lexington had guessed.

But so what?
What Mirage is playing this time is a complete conspiracy. You know that their purpose is to involve the entire Gloria Territory's aircraft carriers in this sea area, but they have to do this because once the aircraft carriers do not arrive in time, On the battlefield, the "Flying Fish" troops can completely turn to the offensive and launch a fierce attack on the islands in this area. If the number of aircraft carriers in this area is insufficient, they will have to abandon some insignificant islands and focus on defending those important strategic islands. .

"Does the Admiral know?" Akagi asked.

Lexington nodded and said, "I've already told him."

"What about his opinion?"

"Drag." Lexington said, "There are only so many islands in the entire buffer zone. As long as we hold the 'Flying Fish' troops, the Mirage's attack on a single island will not be so fierce. Even the surface fleet will be at a disadvantage. , and it is impossible to lose the island in a few days."

Lexington paused and continued: "And according to the information of 'Yeyu', there are not many aluminum ore islands in the West Wind Drift, and the output of the existing aluminum ore islands is also insufficient. In order to maintain such a large 'Flying Fish' force, That's why the Angler Fish need Tea Island and its islands so urgently. Time is on our side, Akagi, as long as we delay, the Flying Fish troops will sooner or later not have enough resources to fight us."

"But doesn't this mean that Mirage won't be in a stalemate with us for too long?" Akagi frowned.

Lexington stopped, looked to the south, and said, "So, the surface fleet needs to work harder."

"If Nagato hears this kind of thing, he will probably blame me for passing the blame again." Akagi said with a bitter smile.

"How can you say that doing things well within one's responsibilities is a scapegoat?" Lexington winked his right eye mischievously.

Dafeng, who had been listening for a long time, had begun to feel dizzy. She raised her right hand silently, and then asked: "So what should I do now? The mirage plane has caught up with me again."

"Don't you understand? Since the 'Flying Fish' and the others want to play, then we will accompany them to the end." The company touched its carrier-based aircraft and said with a smile, "I really hope they can play with it longer."

Lexington flipped up his hair, facing the refreshing sea breeze, looking at the vast sea, and said calmly: "It's all about fun, if there is a chance to sink the opponent, then we can't be polite."

"That's natural." All the aircraft carriers said in unison.

"Essex and the others should be here too, right?" York City asked.

"The first batch of carrier-based aircraft have already departed and are heading towards the waters where the 'Flying Fish' is located." Lexington replied. "Then we have to keep up. We can't let the younger generations see us fishing." Enterprise said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" As the youngest of the three sisters, Bumblebee is the aircraft carrier who cares most about the identity of her predecessor.

All the aircraft carriers in the Akagi fleet are novices. As soon as they spoke, the carrier-based aircraft had already taken off, following the smell of "flying fish", roaring towards the sea.

At this time, the "Feiyu" unit had just finished communicating with the "Guillemot" and was cursing.

"What's wrong?" asked Albatross.

"Feiyu" was furious and said: "That guy from 'Guilin' asked her to attack Mai Xianweng Island. She was lucky. She thought the buffer zone was our territory. She didn't have any consciousness at all and she was still there. Sailing swaggeringly, and as a result, you see, before we saw the island, we ran into Jialan's aircraft carrier force."

"Isn't this just right?" "Albatross" asked puzzledly, "Didn't she act alone just to attract the Galan aircraft carrier?"

"What a fart!" "Feiyu" yelled, "Is she attracted? The task I gave her was to involve her, but she sent it to me instead! It's good this time, Jialan's aircraft carrier didn't suffer much loss, but first I gave away several people's heads, and even I looked like a wreck. She just complained to me at the top of my lungs in the communication, about the lack of aluminum and steel! What the fuck, why didn't she take note of the lack of aluminum?! How many times have I emphasized the air combat capabilities of the Garland aircraft carrier! That guy didn’t listen at all!..."

"Flying Fish" wanted to continue cursing, but when he saw the calm injection stick that "Albatross" took out at some point in his hand, he took two deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued, "After a while, put my The order emphasizes again, our task is to hold Jialan's aircraft carrier! Avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible! Now we are in the moment when we are most scarce in resources, especially aluminum resources, which cannot be consumed in this kind of battle, let alone We said we would repay him like the 'Guillemot'... but we still lost the battle. We have only one goal, to ensure that the Gloriosa aircraft carrier is in this sea area, do you understand?"

"Albatross" nodded, and asked hesitantly, "Then 'Guilledove' will be left alone?"

"Hmph! I am responsible for the sins I have made." "Flying Fish" put his hands on his shoulders, "This guy has gone to the open sea now, it is impossible for Jialan's aircraft carrier to take such a risk. Besides, that guy is still in good spirits."

"Spirit?" "Albatross" was a little unconvinced, but "Haildove" had just suffered a defeat, and she was completely broken. No matter how you think about it, the word "spirit" is unlikely to appear on her body.

"Feiyu" nodded and said very confidently: "You are very energetic. Just now you were wailing at me on the communication line, saying that it felt like there were all Jialan's submarines under the nearby sea. You think it's funny or not, that guy was simply... Persecution paranoia, how could Jialan’s ship girl take such a big risk to come out and chase her.”

"Well... the Galan submarine... it's really possible..." "Albatross" whispered, "Has she brought enough anti-submarine mirages with 'Guillemot'?"

"..."

"...Didn't you bring enough?" "Albatross" asked.

"Flying Fish" turned slightly pale, and said, "She didn't bring it."

"That's comfortable." "Albatross" said, patting his forehead.
