Without stopping for a moment, the convoy of British support units crossed the Mediterranean, passed through the Suez Canal, sailed out of the Red Sea, and reached the Arabian Sea.

As soon as the fleet reached the Arabian Sea, Chen Shao gave new instructions for camouflage. He was ordered to make direct contact with the commander of the submarine force, Di Wolf, and the time was set at eight o'clock in the evening.

Previously, they were all disguised and sent a telegram directly to Chen Shao to determine the location of the British fleet. Now that the battle line is getting closer and closer, Chen Shao doesn't want to waste time. Sometimes submarines do not release communication antennas for concealment, so they cannot communicate with submarines unless they come to the surface. So simply let Di Wolf contact with the camouflage one-line, there are some things Chen Shao is not afraid that his subordinates will leak secrets, especially a senior general like Di Wolf.

It was the first contact between Di Wolf and Camouflage before, and he got the specific coordinates of the British fleet. In fact, the submarine that Di Wolf was on could also send a report, which was a command ship specially used for command and cooperation, and the submarine had sound electronic equipment. It's just that there are more people in the submarine, and the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better, so he specially went to the merchant ship to use the radio station on the merchant ship.

The first contact was to establish a connection, and the two sides were far away at this time, and it was estimated that it would be a few days before they met.

The British fleet had been on the Arabian Sea for a day, at dusk.

Disguise was about to go out to dinner when he met Karn, who came to look for him, and Disguise was a little amused by the man who was very infatuated with him. However, on the surface, he continued to play his role, a role of a hundred fans.

"Beautiful Miss Elena, I wonder if I have the pleasure of inviting you to dinner! The soldiers caught some very good seafood today, and I felt compelled to invite a beautiful lady like you to dinner. Karn had done a gentleman's manner, except that he was now on a troop carrier, and he was not wearing the distinctive gentleman's attire.

"Colonel Karn, that's not good! At this time, we are on a troop carrier, and doing this will make people think that you are selfish. And I didn't have any costume with me, just a military uniform, and I wasn't fit to dine with Mr. Kahn. He said pretending to be embarrassed. In fact, Camouflage had always wanted to talk to Karn, and he knew that Karn must know the specific route of the fleet. This is exactly what camouflage has always wanted.

"Miss Elena is the most beautiful angel in all her clothes, especially in a military uniform, she looks very decent, and you are the Venus of my heart whenever and wherever you are. It is my greatest pleasure to dine with a beautiful lady like you, and nothing else is a problem. Karn looked at the disguise affectionately, expecting his response.

"Colonel Karn is so complimented by Elena, and her words have made her very embarrassed." The disguise was already laughing in his heart, but he pretended to be a little embarrassed on his face.

"Then I wonder if the beautiful Miss Elena will be able to grant my request." Karn had always been very involved in Elena's pursuit.

"Elena is also honored to dine with Colonel Karn." The disguise is not intended to be shirked any further, otherwise it would seem too unnatural.

Karn looked excited, eager to lead the way.

The dining area is on the top deck, where tables and chairs are already set up. The conditions are limited and the site is not large.

But it was obvious that Karn was serious, with a white tablecloth, a cushion on the chair, neat cutlery, and wine on the table. Under the current conditions, it is not easy to take out these things.

Karn gentlemanly helped Camouflage prop up his chair and walked to the opposite side and sat down.

Two chef-like men came over with a serving plate, but there was no place for a dining car on the boat, so they had to use their hands.

The two cooks walked into the cabin, leaving only Karn and Camouflage on the top deck.

The sun was about to set on the sea level, and the romantic colors of the moment were printed in the twilight, and the sea breeze brushed her cheeks and raised a few strands of hair, all of which made Karn completely intoxicated.

"Ahem!" Seeing Karn staring at him motionlessly, he pretended to be a little unbearable and coughed deliberately.

"I'm sorry, I was so out of shape just now, everything about you made me deeply intoxicated. Miss Elena, I would like to give you a glass first, and I wish you more and more beauty. Feeling a little dreary, Karn picked up the bottle and poured some wine into their glasses, then raised his glass and said.

"Thank you, Colonel Karn, for your blessings, and Elena wishes you all the best." Pretending to be very polite, he raised his glass, and the two touched it gently.

"Miss Elena, I have a request, if you can call me Karn directly. Add a colonel to the back, and it sounds like we're a long way apart. Karn put down his glass and said with some hope.

"Karn! Wouldn't that be too rude. ”

"No, that's how it looks closer." Karn said hurriedly. Karn was overjoyed to hear the disguise, and as long as he closed the distance again, the target in the centrifugal was already one step closer.

The two of them had been chatting ever since, and Karn was in high spirits, mostly telling interesting anecdotes. However, under the guidance of the disguise intention, the topic gradually shifted to the purpose of this time.

War in Southeast Asia.

"I heard that the Chinese army is very powerful, and I don't know how long it will take to fight this time." Disguise said with a soft sigh.

"Miss Elena, don't worry! No matter how long it takes, I will always be there for you to protect you. Karn knew it was time for him to perform.

"I hope the war ends sooner and fewer people die." disguised as a very unbearable look, showing a slight sadness. In fact, in his heart, he wished that the British would die a little more.

"Miss Elena, don't worry, the war will be over soon." Karn saw the sadness on the face of the goddess in his heart, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, London is already discussing with France about preparing peace talks with China. Just yesterday, 400 fighters of the British Air Force have been wiped out by the Chinese army. The main reason why we went to Southeast Asia this time was to stabilize the unfavorable situation in Southeast Asia and not to break out into a major war with China. ”

Karn's father was a member of the House of Lords, and this news was told to him by his father, otherwise how could his father let Karn go to China, mainly because he wanted Karn to be gilded.

"Karn, are you telling the truth? That's not that we lost a couple of hundred pilots again, alas! How nice it would be if there was no war in this world! Disguise had heard a little about it, but he didn't plan to reveal it.

"Miss Elena is so kind!"

"I don't know when we will arrive in Myanmar, so hopefully it's not too late! I really want to see the wounded soldiers, they are all victims of war. Disguise said with a sad face.

"Miss Elena, it will be there in four or five days. This time, we will take Manar Bay (the border between Sri Lanka and India), and the road will be much closer. Although Kahn's pretended remarks seemed naïve, the other party was Elena, and instead of refuting anything, Karn enlightened: "Sacrifice in war is inevitable, don't be too sad, the British Empire will compensate their families." ”

Get the answer in your mind, pretending to have no intention of continuing this seemingly romantic dinner. The two of them then just chatted about some other inconsequential topics, and then ended the dinner.

As always, they sent the camouflage back to the cabin and said goodbye to each other. Camouflage looked at the hair tied to the door, saw that everything was the same, and opened the door and walked in.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after inspecting the outside of the lower cabin door, he took out the radio and waited for Di Wolf's second contact.

Di Wolf didn't wait long for the disguise, and a minute later, the telegram came.

After reading the password and code, the disguise also reported to Di Wolf that the fleet would go through the Gulf of Mannar.

The two sides immediately ended the second contact. The disguise put away the radio again, and walked lightly to the hatch, with his ear on the door, and after listening to it for a while, there was no movement at all. He then walked to the bathroom and rearranged his disguise to remove any factors that could lead to exposure.

When Di Wolf received the news, the submarine force was not far from the Gulf of Mannar. Subsequently, the entire submarine formation was divided into two groups, one group guarded the direction from which the British fleet came, and followed as soon as the British fleet entered the bay. The other team spared the passage and blocked the opening on the other side, intending to catch turtles in an urn.

Mannar Bay, a bay in the Indian Ocean. Between southeastern India and western Sri Lanka. It is 130-275 km wide and 160 km long. It accepts the Tambraparni River in India and the Aruwe River in Sri Lanka, among other rivers.

The next night, the flotilla's route was further confirmed, and according to intelligence, the flotilla was expected to enter the Mannar Bay in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

After Di Wolf and Camouflage finished contact, they sent the news to the Navy Staff and reported the details of the matter.

Chen Shaokuan personally got in touch with Di Wolf and found out the specific situation of the matter again. At the same time, he was also thinking about Di Wolf's plan of action, after all, that place was not far from India, and from the perspective of ambushes, this was a natural ambush location. If you look at it from all angles, it may not be easy, and if you can't quickly destroy the opponent's destroyers, resulting in the troop carrier docking in India, then the operation will not be very successful. After all, the opponent has seventy large ships, and they will spread out when they travel, which will cause a lot of trouble for the attack. The number of submarines is only thirty, and it is even more difficult to be distracted from destroyers.

However, in the end, Chen Shaokuan did not deny Di Wolf's plan, there are pros and cons, the war itself is like this, and the opportunity is equal to both sides. Anything is good for you, and that can only be in a dream.

Chen Shaokuan looked at the time, although he didn't want to disturb Chen Shao now, but such a military operation could not help but inform Chen Shao.
