Chapter 2222 I hope the Japanese army will win the Fog City
Zhou Weiguo handed the message to Nan Zhongmei and said: "In the intercepted message, the navy issued an order to fight to the end."
Fight to the bitter end.
Nan Zhongmei took the telegram and read it and shook her head slightly; "It shouldn't be."
"It shouldn't be there." Zhou Weiguo didn't know much about the navy, so he wouldn't speak easily. Most of the Nan Zhongmei family worked in the navy, so she thought he should know more than she did.
"We should not send out a message to fight to the end. Because this kind of thing cannot happen."
"Sister, please speak more clearly." Xiao Ya came to her side and pointed at the people present; "We don't know anything about the navy."
Nan Zhongmei hummed and said, "The scale of the returning fleet cannot be stopped by the Japanese interception fleet. Without those three battleships, even if only destroyers are used, all of them sail forward and their interception will be washed away.
The high speed of destroyers cannot be intercepted by battleships. The ones that can intercept are destroyers, but they only dispatched a few destroyers and cannot stop them at all. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Zhou Weiguo was a little nervous.
Although he is not a navy, this navy is hard-won. If the Japanese army is wiped out, it may not be easy for Yamashiro to develop the fleet in the future.
"Unless they use aviation."
"Impossible." Xiao Ya shook her head; "If aviation troops are used, then they don't need to be in area three at all, but in area four, because this place is the closest to their road-based aviation troops."
At present, in terms of oil, all countries are not very wealthy due to their early efforts. The worst among them is the Japanese army.
Because the Japanese army fought the longest among several countries and consumed the largest amount of resources.
When they are fighting a war now, they not only have to consider the battle situation, but also the voyage.
How to save is what they will do.
Nan Zaolinzi nodded and said, "I agree with eldest sister, they will not send out aviation troops. Another point is that the Japanese army does not want to fall out with us."
"Yes." Nan Zhongmei put the message in her hand next to her and said, "The third sister is right. They dare not fall out with us because they cannot afford such a price."
"That's strange." Jiang Yue put her hands on her hips; "Since it can't be intercepted, why did the Navy still send such a message? This is obviously wrong."
None of them spoke, but their eyes fell on Nan Zhongmei.
Nan Zhongmei was not nervous because of the looks of several people. She lowered her head and thought for a while and then raised her head; "There is another possibility."
"You mean, they are dispatching the same fleet size to fight each other?"
In the foggy city, Churchill's eyes almost popped out of his head.
He heard something. Shancheng's returning fleet dispatched an equal number of troops to fight against the intercepting fleet.
This...how is this possible?
Half an hour ago, he received news from the intelligence department that the returning fleet from Shancheng sent a message. This message was a message calling on all the soldiers in the army to fight to the bitter end. It also contained the hope of honor.
Something like that.
Everyone knows what these words mean.
However, what Churchill didn't understand was that he knew very well how big the fleet was. A fleet composed of submarines, seaplanes, battleships and other combat ships could not stop the Japanese interception fleet.
The Japanese interception fleet did not dispatch many troops. How could Shan's returning fleet not stop it?
Could it be because they have no combat capabilities?
He didn't believe this at all.
So he asked his secretary to bring Smith to discuss the issue.
Of course, he hoped that the Japanese army would destroy Yamacheng's fleet, because this would allow him to take over the three counties with peace of mind.
After all, Yamashiro and Kyoto have formed sworn enemies, and cooperation is absolutely impossible to happen again.
He thought that Smith would give an answer, but he didn't know. So he had no choice but to ask the Lord of the Admiralty to come over.
After the Admiralty learned about the situation, he told himself the result.
That is, there is only one possibility that the Yamacheng Return Fleet could send such a message. They dispatched an equal number of ships and were fighting the Japanese army.
"Are they crazy?" Churchill wanted to hear a negative answer from the two of them, but in the end no one said anything, which showed that the Admiralty and Smith both agreed with this analysis.
With the reminder from the Admiralty, Smith's mind was completely opened.
He sighed and said, "It's not that Shancheng is crazy, but that they want to use this opportunity to tell the navies of various countries that they will not be afraid of any enemy."
"Yes, once they win, I'm afraid even if we want to fight them, we need to think carefully."
Churchill narrowed his eyes and looked at the Admiralty Minister in front of him; "Why, we also need to weigh it."
The Lord Admiralty didn't know how to explain it. In fact, this matter should be easy to understand. Why couldn't he understand the person in front of him?
Smith understood what the Minister of the Navy meant, and he took over the words: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, once they win, we must be cautious. But you have to know that over the years, they have no experience in commanding large ships to fight, and the Japanese army
, but I have been training in this area all the time.”
Of course, there is also an element of luck in this, but the probability of this kind of luck is basically zero.
Why are you so lucky? The other party is always a naval power, but you, Yamashiro, are not.
This is like a three-year-old baby fighting with an adult.
Fight on the same scale.
Churchill's mouth twitched slightly.
He seemed to notice something.
I'm afraid it will be really difficult for the three counties and the empire to get it back in the future.
Unless, the Japanese army is defeated as soon as possible.
But, if you think about it, it won't happen that quickly. Because the empire still needs Japanese troops now.
boom……
A violent explosion exploded 150 meters away from the side of the Zhenyuan ship.
"Sir, the Haining is over."
The Haining is a cruiser, and since the battle, it has been guarding the side of Zhenyuan, covering the destroyers behind it.
Along the way, the Haining was riddled with holes. The shell fired just now must have hit its ammunition depot, causing a fatal explosion.
The sky-high explosion lifted the multi-ton turret into the sky and tore a huge hole. The Haining was tilting to the right at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chief Chen's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't wait for him to speak.
The observation post next to him turned his head and said: "Sir, Commander Lin from the Haining sent a signal."
