In the South China Sea, the Second Fleet of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy is basically composed of the Second Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Combined Navy, Japan and Germany during the East Australian War.

Viewed from the air, dozens of lead-gray warships formed a huge ring formation on the sea, and an outer circle composed of a large number of destroyers, light cruisers, and heavy cruisers surrounded the "Taisho" aircraft carrier and the "Ito Hirobumi" fast combat support ship like a moon.

In the rear of the fleet there is also a large transport landing fleet escorted by destroyers, and under the water, there are several silent Haida D-type submarines (XXI submarine Japanese version) on underwater alert.

The murky waves crashed against the huge steel hulls, and from time to time the sky whistled low over a few Type 99 fighters on patrol duty, and in the farther sky, several reconnaissance planes were constantly circling around the fleet, carefully guarding against possible threats.

Due to the interference of two Warrior-class destroyers of the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy of Donghua and fighters taking off from Sanya blocking the route, Tomozaburo Ozawa could only order the Second Fleet to bypass the Xisha Islands and then sail north.

In the face of the bloody petition of the captains of each ship to sink the Donghua Royal Navy's blocking destroyer, Tomosaburo Ozawa still maintained his sanity and calmness.

According to reliable information provided by the Special High School, the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Donghua Navy has established a large field airfield in Sanya, Qiongdao, and deployed more than 200 jet fighters, attack planes, and bombers. A large submarine base was also added in Yulin.

If the Second Fleet dared to attack the Donghua destroyers without authorization, Ozawa Tomozaburo could be sure that even if the Second Fleet could break through the blockade of the Donghua Navy, it would suffer heavy losses.

Since the Donghua Royal Navy did not attack the Second Fleet, there was no need for the Second Fleet to provoke a large-scale war with the Donghua Royal Navy.

His Majesty the Emperor has issued a secret decree to contain the military conflict that broke out with the Tung Hwa army in the Hong Kong area. Therefore, in the face of the deliberate provocation of the Donghua Royal Navy, Ozawa Tomozaburo could only sternly reprimand the captains of the ships of the Second Fleet for exercising restraint and absolutely not firing the first shot at the Donghua Navy without authorization.

Ever since the Chinese Nationalist Government announced that it would lease Qiongdao to the Donghua Empire and entrust the Donghua Royal Navy with the management of the South China Sea Maritime Frontier, Ozawa Tomozaburo had already vaguely felt that the Imperial Army's stubborn desire to restart the war against China would definitely cause great trouble to the Japanese Empire.

With Ozawa's knowledge of various cutting-edge technologies of the Donghua Empire, he became deeply wary of the Donghua Royal Navy from the day when the Seventh Fleet of the Donghua Royal Navy publicly displayed its new equipment such as the Admiral-class aircraft carrier, the Shield-class cruiser, the Warrior-class destroyer, the Guardian-class frigate, the Kilo-class submarine, and the Seawolf-class super submarine.

Tomosaburo Ozawa can be sure that with the world's most advanced scientific and technological level of the Donghua Empire, they will definitely not unreasonably equip their new ships and jet fighters with rocket artillery and rockets that the navies and air forces of various countries do not pay attention to. There is definitely a hidden technology in this that no one knows.

It's a pity that no matter how hard the empire's intelligence officers try, they can't understand the mysteries of the Donghua Empire's ship-based rocket artillery and airborne rockets to this day.

However, just ten minutes ago, this urgent telegram sent by Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, the provisional governor of the empire in Hong Kong, finally solved the doubts in Ozawa's heart.

A shipborne rocket artillery with a range of more than 100 kilometers and an accurate hit on the target!

Airborne rockets with a range of more than five kilometers that can automatically track enemy fighters!

With these two advanced weapons, the navy and air force of the Donghua Empire can completely eliminate the enemy beyond the visual range without giving the enemy ships and fighters a chance to get close to them!

Tomozaburo Ozawa suddenly understood why the Kilo-class submarines and Seawolf-class supersubmarines of the Donghua Royal Navy had designed their hulls to be so large. These two submarines are definitely also armed with shipborne rocket artillery!

No wonder the Royal Navy of Donghua is so arrogant and arrogant, and it doesn't take the Imperial Japanese Navy seriously at all!

With this completely asymmetrical attack method, how can the Imperial Navy match the Donghua Royal Navy?!

Amaterasu is on top, but fortunately, Vice Admiral Takashi Sakai grasped this extremely important battle information in time, otherwise, the second fleet would definitely be annihilated.

"Command! All ships in the fleet will return immediately! ”

In the command room of the aircraft carrier "Taisho", the flagship of the Second Fleet, Tomozaburo Ozawa suddenly shouted at the commanders of all levels who were sitting around the oak conference table as if he had lost his mind: "Immediately! Right away! Hurry back! Hurry up and turn around! ”

As long as he thought that the Second Fleet had almost fallen into the trap of the Donghua Royal Navy, Ozawa Tomozaburo didn't care about his usual calm and composure at all, what he needed to do now was how to protect the Second Fleet, and as for what the imperial garrison in Hong Kong would do, he couldn't care about it at this time.

Paradise Island, Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study

Cheng Gong looked at the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, which was rapidly turning to the satellite screen, and couldn't help but admire Ozawa Tomozaburo for showing this kind of impromptu decision.

Cheng Gong's original intention was not to kill Ozawa's fleet. But if Tomozaburo Ozawa had to rush to the aid of the Japanese forces in Hong Kong with the Second Fleet, then the Second Fleet could only be removed from the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.

After intercepting and deciphering the telegram that Hirohito personally sent to Okamura Ninji to control the war in Hong Kong, Cheng Gong became even more unscrupulous about taking Hong Kong.

Of course, Cheng Gong knew that Churchill, a dead fat man, ceded Hong Kong and the Andaman Islands to the Donghua Empire at this time, and his purpose was to make Donghua and Japan turn around and start a war.

Since Hirohito, the old boy, has been thinking about letting the Japanese army experience the true combat effectiveness of the Donghua Empire and army, why didn't Cheng Gong want to extinguish the arrogance of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army in the South Asian theater.

Cheng Gong calculated that it was impossible for Hirohito to really turn against him because of such a small piece of territory as Hong Kong, so he issued an order to Wang Jingchun and asked him to take Hong Kong down.

Hirohito intends to define the military conflict in Hong Kong as a subordinate to the top, and Cheng Gong can also be said to be a general who will not grant the order of the foreign monarch.

In any case, everyone has room for maneuver, so naturally they can let the war in Hong Kong continue, as long as it does not expand.

After taking Hong Kong, Cheng Gong also plans to get Macau by the way. In this way, no matter what the Chinese battlefield will be like in the future, Donghua will have two immigration windows, which is convenient for fleeing Chinese refugees to freely choose to immigrate to the Donghua Empire.

With Hong Kong and Macao as the bridgehead, and Qiongdao as the transit point, Donghua can immigrate from the mainland of China, which is far more trouble-free than from Shanghai, Tianjin, and Qingdao.

As for the Andaman Islands, Cheng Gong believes that after Hong Kong is in hand, Hirohito will definitely hand it over obediently.

Otherwise, Hirohito would have to wonder whether the Donghua Empire would have any involvement in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaya, Burma and other territories in the future.

"Your Majesty, after we take Hong Kong, if the British say that they will hand over Malaya and Burma to our Great Donghua Empire, will you let the Japanese hand them over?"

Cheng Gong couldn't help but smile indifferently when Ning Jingru suddenly raised this question.
