Somerville, as the commander of the H Fleet in the Mediterranean, was standing with Moend, the captain of the Royal Ark, at this moment, and the two stood motionless on the deck of the Royal Ark, looking up at the cloudy sky, the two sighed in unison, looking at the girl who was also frowning on the side, Somerville scratched his head, and asked the girl softly, "How is the situation?" ”

The girl shook her head, without too many words, but both Somerville and Moende understood the meaning of the girl's expression, she subconsciously bit her lip, and didn't even dare to look at her captain Moend, gritted her teeth, and said to Moende, "Captain, I'm trying, this time I'll let Winnie fly farther." ”

Mond shook his head, looking at the girl's tired expression, Mond hesitated for a moment, looked at Somerville with an indifferent expression, gritted his teeth and insisted, "Let's rest first, this is just a daily reconnaissance task, there is no need to let you work so hard." ”

Somerville on the side also nodded in agreement, and smiled bitterly at the two, "Hey, hey, Moend, I'm not the kind of unkind commander, there's no need to be like this." ”

Moende nodded awkwardly, indeed, compared to the commander of the home fleet, John. Tovey, James. Somerville can be said to be a very talkative general, although he often makes some jokes regardless of the occasion, but the kind Somerville is undoubtedly an excellent fleet commander, and he is also loved by the majority of sailors.

As one of the most advanced aircraft carriers in the British Empire, the flight deck of the Ark Royal is 800 feet long and 112 feet wide, equipped with six boilers and three steam turbines, and can carry sixty carrier-based aircraft.

Although the aircraft carrier Ark Royal is required to carry 72 carrier-based aircraft when it is designed, the actual aircraft capacity is generally only 60, but the main activities are in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and the main enemy is Germany and Italy, which currently have no aircraft carriers, and the number of 60 carrier-based aircraft is also sufficient.

Compared with the 48-aircraft HMS Glory and the 36-aircraft HMS Tejlis, Ark Royal has surpassed the number of British aircraft carriers of the same class, and while having the largest hangar of any aircraft carrier to date, the Ark Royal can even reach a top speed of 30.75 knots, which is undoubtedly the pride of the British Empire.

is such a person, although he has frequent vicious battles, but he has repeatedly made military exploits. The legendary Hangma, who participated in the war for less than a year, was frowning at the moment, thanks to the bad sea conditions in the Atlantic, at this moment the Royal Ark could not take off and land the carrier-based aircraft normally, so the girl took the initiative to take on the work of flying the carrier-based aircraft.

Different from the conventional ship outfits embodied by ordinary ship spirits, the ability of the girls projected by the aircraft carrier is the embodiment of carrier-based aircraft, although the number is very small, but these planes that rely on goblins to drive can ignore the weather to a certain extent, although it consumes aluminum, but the girls who understand the current situation are still determined to send their few goblins out again and again.

Putting down the iconic Scottish longbow in her hand, the girl comforted the palm-sized goblin, and the girl handed over the few aluminum bars in her hand distressedly, looked at the goblin that was gnawing like a little hamster, and said with some distress, "I'm sorry, Winnie." ”

Winnie put down the aluminum strip that she had been gnawing in her hand, gently wrapped her fingers around the girl's fingers with her slender little hand, and said to the girl in a guilty tone, unlike Wu Ling, the language of the little goblin can only be understood by Wu Ling, looking at Winnie's guilty eyes, the girl's heart softened all of a sudden.

Just as the girl hesitated to stop the search that seemed meaningless to her, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.

It was Miss Prestige dressed as a black and white maid, looking at Prestige's rare panicked expression, even Somerville was a little puzzled, and subconsciously scratched her head, Somerville asked worriedly, "Is there any order from Admiral Tovey?" ”

Prestige nodded, handed the telegram with a little wrinkled corners in his hand to Somerville, looked at the somewhat exhausted Royal Ark, and hurriedly took out his few pastries from his subspace and handed them over.

As an aspiring maid to be the best, the prestige subspace can be said to be full of variety, in addition to the most basic resources, prestige also carries some regular food and utensils in case of emergency.

Even in the prestige subspace, he carried a portable energy conversion device, and even on the battlefield that had just ended the war, the prestige had the confidence to offer a beautiful refreshment to these bloody comrades.

"Then thank you, Sister Prestige." The Royal Ark hurriedly took the delicate pastry in Prestige's hand and said gratefully to Prestige.

This kind of small cake made by using the energy converter, with the advantage of portability, can timely replenish the consumption of martial spirits, usually in the battle, such materials are used as special supplies as priority to provide combat martial spirits.

"In the British Empire, which is currently short of resources, these resources may be the only ones that are not lacking, but ...... What about ordinary people......"

The Royal Ark looked at the delicious pastry in his hand, lost his appetite for the first time, and after hastily eating the pastry, the tired look of the Royal Ark also looked a little energetic under the effect of food.

Looking at the silent two, the Royal Ark asked suspiciously, "Captain, Your Excellency the Commander, has something happened?" ”

At this moment, Moende didn't know how to face his ship spirit, and looked at the bewildered eyes of the Royal Ark. Tovey's command could not read a word.

He understood that, although emotionally he was very resistant to this command, from a rational point of view, John . Tovey's order was not lacking.

Looking at Moende in a dilemma, Somerville coughed lightly, still intending to answer this somewhat cruel order for the two of them in Mornd's place.

"That's right, John. Admiral Tovey ordered us to look for any suspicious warships at all costs. ”

"However, Bismarck should now be closer to Johann. The fleet led by Admiral Tovey, right? Looking at the pale Royal Ark, Prestige asked in bewilderment.

"According to intelligence, the position of the German ships should be closer to the depths of the North Atlantic, however, under the layers of blockade by the Royal Navy, it is impossible for the German fleet to return to the German mainland for repairs, in this case, the only naval base capable of repairing large warships is the Normandy dock in Saint-Nazaire."

"We're just adding a layer of insurance to the encirclement and suppression of Bismarck." Somerville patiently explained for prestige.
