More than 200 kilometers east of Dachen Island in the east of Taizhou, a huge fleet was swimming on the sea, and the rising sun flag on the warships was showing the world that this was a fleet belonging to the Imperial Japanese Navy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was a formidable fleet commanded by Rear Admiral U Huan Tsuang of the Japanese Navy, consisting of three aircraft carriers, three battleships, eight cruisers, and sixteen destroyers, and its mission was simple, to send everyone, including the French fleet, into the sea when Su Jin's Third Army boarded the ship and headed for France.

Their idea is good, but the process is not very good, this fleet has been on the sea for more than ten days, but not even the shadow of the French fleet, according to the news from the base camp, the French fleet is honestly staying in the port of Taizhou, and Su Jin's Third Army has no sign of moving its nest, this can make Yu Huan anxious, if the Third Army does not go to France again, he will be busy in vain, Moreover, the fuel and supplies required by such a large fleet without drifting at sea for an extra day are a large number, and if he goes around here like this, he will be laughed to death by his colleagues.

At this time, the atmosphere in the command room of the Chicheng aircraft carrier was dull and abnormal, Yu Huan sat on the chair with the command knife wrapped around and looked at the nascent sunrise outside the window without saying a word, while the other staff officers also stood aside and chatted in twos and threes because they had nothing to do.

Kusaka Ryunosuke Osa hurriedly walked over, handed a telegram to Major General Yu Huan with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Excellency General, the base camp is calling to inquire about our situation, how should I reply." ”

Yu Huan, who was already in an irritable mood, turned his head and looked at Kusaka Ryunosuke, and said angrily: "How should I reply, do you still use me to answer, the people of China are still staying well in Zhejiang, what do you want me to do?" Do you want me to drive a warship to the land to fight him in a decisive battle? ”

"Flutter!" Yu Huantang's words made several staff officers around him couldn't help but laugh out loud, although their laughter was not loud, but it was still heard by Ryunosuke Kusaka.

For Kusaka Ryunosuke, the laughter of these staff officers was like a sound of ridicule, which made him feel a little unbearable on his face, and he couldn't help but say loudly under the displeasure in his heart: "Your Excellency General, although the people of China did not go to sea, how can we wait here for a time and do nothing, if the people of China insist on refusing to come out this time, we can't just wait for nothing, I think that since we have such a huge force, why not take the initiative to attack and drive the fleet to Taizhou to bombard their port!" ”

"Shelling Taizhou?"

"Nani?"

As soon as Kusaka Ryunosuke said this, the people in the command room were stunned, you must know that now the port of Taizhou is full of the French fleet, plus it is the territory of the Third Army, they can get the support of the air force at any time, and maybe the port also deploys heavy artillery, although the strength of their fleet is strong, but it is a fool's thing to use valuable warships to fight hard with those cannons that are not worth a few dollars.

"Baga, you are confused, use our precious fleet to fight against the shore defense artillery and planes of the Zhina, are you sure you are not drunk?" Yu Huan glared at Kusaka Ryunosuke and scolded mercilessly.

Kusaka Ryunosuke lowered his head and didn't speak, but he was very unconvinced in his heart, their fleet had been on the sea for more than ten days, and it would be a shame to go back like this. But as if God was also helping him, another staff officer hurriedly ran over and handed a telegram to Yu Huan and said loudly: "Report to Your Excellency General, call from the base camp." At 5:40 a.m. today, the French government announced the cessation of resistance and formally surrendered to the German government, and a telegram from the headquarters ordered us to suspend our mission and return to the mainland. ”

"Nani, the French have surrendered?"

Hearing the news, everyone was a little overwhelmed. If the French government surrendered, then their mission would have been in vain, because the Third Army's trip had lost the meaning of going to France, and it became a joke that they had waited here for more than ten days.

Seeing Yu Huantang, whose face had become ugly and abnormally in the command room, Kusaka Ryunosuke gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Excellency, since the French have surrendered, then it will only be in vain for us to wait any longer, so I think it is better to launch a sneak attack on the port of Taizhou with a desperate gamble and annihilate the French fleet in the port, so that we will not return in vain." ”

This time, no one laughed at Ryunosuke Kusaka's plan, which was a bit risky, but if it succeeded, it could also pay off handsomely.

Major General Yu Huan pondered a little and asked, "Caolu-kun, do you have any detailed plans?" ”

Kusaka Ryunosuke was overjoyed, he immediately realized that the commander must be interested in his plan, otherwise he would never ask more, he hurriedly said: "The commander looks at Your Excellency, I think we can quietly drive the fleet to the vicinity of Dachen Island to hide and wait, and wait until the early morning to immediately send planes to carry out air strikes on the port of Taizhou, we must concentrate the main target on the French warships in the port, as long as we can sink half of the French warships, then it is worth the trip." ”

Yu Huan was silent, he could hear the meaning of Kusaka Ryunosuke's words, as long as they could sink half or even a few French warships, then no one would be able to say anything when they went back this time. After all, the French surrendered, and the Third Army naturally would not go to France to die, and even then their fleet could take the initiative to attack the ports of the Huaxia and sink the warships of the French, and even the harshest people in the base camp could not blame them for anything.

And Yu Huantang is a very ambitious person, he knows that if he wants to climb higher, he can't leave a stain on his resume, and bombing Taizhou is the best way, but he didn't immediately agree, but asked: "How many troops do you plan to send?" ”

Kusaka Ryunosuke said without hesitation: "Your Excellency Commander, now our three aircraft carriers have a total of eighty-three Zero fighters, thirty-two Type 96 dive attack planes, and twelve Type 99 bombers, I think we should send them all out to form a fatal attack on the French fleet before the French can react, just one attack is enough to severely damage them!" ”

Thinking of this, Yu Huantang finally nodded: "Yo Xi, what you said makes sense, since that's the case, then you go down and prepare, and we'll act tomorrow morning!" ”

"Hay!"

After getting Yu Huantang's promise, Kusaka Ryunosuke was overjoyed and hurried down to make plans......

At this time, Su Jin didn't know that the Japanese had raised their butcher's knives against him and began to plot against his treasure, and at this time he was doing ideological work with Consul Armand and Admiral Laborde, who had been stunned by the thunderbolt from the sky.

"Mr. Armand, allow me to say something unpleasant, that this morning the French Government has formally surrendered to the Germans, and your insistence has become meaningless. You have become an abandoned orphan, it seems to me that you should stay here and declare war on the fascists with us rather than go back to France as a prisoner of the Germans, I believe that the defeat of France is only temporary, and you will one day return to France to attack the Germans again, but not now! ”

Armand turned pale and said nothing, while Laborde was silent with his saber at his waist. Although Petain began to call for peace with the Germans a week ago, after all, there was only this idea, and there was still room for redemption, but today when they heard the official announcement of the French government on the radio, the two had to accept this reality, the former glorious France became a defeated country, this blow is huge for them, especially Laborde can't believe the news, the great French navy has not had time to fire a single shot France was defeated, this is too ironic, right?

Seeing that Laborde hadn't spoken yet, Su Jin made up for it in time: "General Laborade, please forgive me, if you don't make a decision as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will have to cut off your supplies." ”

"What, how can you do this!" As soon as he heard this, Laborde jumped up in anger, blushed and shouted at Su Jin: "We are here to pick you up and go to France, we are allies, and now you want to cut off the supply to us?" Do you still have some basic diplomatic guidelines? ”

"We don't have diplomatic guidelines?" Su Jin stood up with a sneer and said: "General Laborade, I am only a commander of a group army, not the president of Huaxia, I have no right and no Yiwu to support such a huge fleet of yours, if you have any opinions, please mention them to our government." As I have already said, wouldn't it be nice if you could join us and join us against the Japanese, and I can promise that you will cover all the costs of your fleet? But you are anchored in the harbor every day, and you know how to eat, sleep, and bask in the sun every day. ”

"I ......" Laborde's whole face turned red, but he couldn't say a word, Su Jin also made it very clear, if you want Lao Tzu to continue to support you, it's okay, but you have to work for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu won't support idlers.

At this time, Laborde wanted to yell, "Lao Tzu won't serve you anymore!" Then he shook his hand and turned around and left in a dashing manner, but the reality told him that if he dared to do this, it would take a few days for the entire fleet of thousands of people to starve, and thousands of sailors of the dignified French fleet would be starved to death, I am afraid that this will become the biggest joke in the history of world wars, even if he is a thousand years later, he will become a strange story in the war, and he Laborde will become a negative textbook in the history books and live forever in the world.
