In the bridge of the Orion-class super dreadnought battleship Orion, the captain of the Orion, the captain of the Orion, wiped the sweat from his forehead because of nervousness, and said to Commander Bridget: "These fighters of the Chinese Empire are too fierce, completely disregarding their own safety, in addition to the super dreadnought battleship of the British Navy, 3 battleships have been blown and sunk, commander, what should we do next?" ”

Bridget said: "Convey my order to the entire United Expeditionary Fleet, all warships of the navies of all countries should immediately accelerate in the direction of the departure of the Chinese Imperial Fighters, we must find those warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy that can carry fighters, and sink them all, otherwise our Joint Expeditionary Fleet will be bombed and collapsed by the Chinese Empire's fighters all the time!" Oh - by the way, let the navies of other countries go ahead, and we, the British navy, will be a little further behind. ”

In fact, there is no need to bomb all the time, just after the first wave of air raids by aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, it has brought very large losses to the navies of some countries in the joint expeditionary fleet, and some naval fleet commanders have their own little ninety-nine in their hearts.

On the bridge of the New York-class super dreadnought battleship New York, the flagship of the U.S. Navy, Sampson, the commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, had just finished the first wave of air raids by the aircraft carriers of the Royal Chinese Navy, his face became extremely ugly, and the captain of the New York next to him held a piece of paper and said with a painful expression: "Commander, in this wave of air raids by the Chinese Imperial fighters, our Atlantic Fleet's South Carolina-class dreadnought battleship USS Western Cowboy, Delaware-class dreadnought battleship USS Anstahua, The Maine-class all-steel battleship USS Westlith, the Ginia-class all-steel battleship USS Corey and the Connecticut-class all-steel battleship USS Red Jazz, 2 dreadnoughts and 3 all-steel battleships were sunk, as well as 2 large fast armored cruisers, 3 fast protection cruisers, and 3 destroyers. Also sunk in this wave of air raids, it seems that today God is not on the side of us in the United States of America. ”

Sampson gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect the navy of the Chinese Empire. It will launch an air attack on the United Expeditionary Fleet here, and the fighters of the Chinese Empire can appear here. It proves that the Chinese Empire already has the kind of warship that can carry fighters, and the fighters of the Chinese Empire take off on the deck of such warships and fly to the head of our joint expeditionary fleet, damn it! It is very likely that those fighters of the Chinese Empire will launch air strikes against our joint expedition again, no! Not possibly, but definitely! ”

Captain Everderson of the New York said: "Admiral Bridget of the British Navy has just sent us a telegram that he also thinks that the navy of the Chinese Empire may have the kind of warships carrying warplanes, and orders all the warships of our navies to speed up in the direction of the departure of the Chinese Empire's fighters. Find the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy as soon as possible and wipe them out! Commander, is our Atlantic Fleet following this order? ”

To tell the truth, Sampson wanted to order the entire Atlantic Fleet of the US Navy to turn around and retreat immediately, the United States joined this war to reap benefits, not to fight hard with the Chinese Empire, and this has not seen the shadow of the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and its own Atlantic Fleet has already suffered great losses.

This time, the main force of the US Atlantic Fleet was exhausted, with 4 super dreadnought battleships, 16 dreadnought battleships, and 20 all-steel battleships, a total of 40 powerful capital battleships. As a result, before meeting the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, it had completely lost one-eighth of the main warships, so how would the next naval battle be fought? And how much will the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet lose in this naval battle?

However, Sampson ordered the Atlantic Fleet to retreat now, and it was difficult to explain it to the Entente and the Allies. After all, in the air raids, the navies of most countries suffered considerable losses, and the British Navy was even blown up and sank 1 super dreadnought battleship. No one wants to retreat, and their own Atlantic fleet will pick on it. It's really unreasonable, and the United States may not agree to let the Atlantic Fleet withdraw to the United States like this.

Sampson reluctantly said, "Do what General Bridget ordered!" After all, we, the United States, have already joined this damn war. Although we have lost so much in the air raid, if we retreat now, we will not be able to explain to anyone, let the warships of our Atlantic Fleet get closer to each other, and wait for the fighters of the Chinese Empire to attack again, and we can also let the anti-aircraft firepower of the warships support each other. May God bless us find the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy that can carry fighters! ”

After a pause, Sampson said to the captain of the New York, Everderson: "Our Atlantic Fleet should not be in a hurry to set off, we can first rescue the US Navy officers and men who have fallen into the water, and our Atlantic Fleet can walk at the back of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, once the battle situation is irreparable, it will be convenient for our Atlantic Fleet to retreat, and when the Chinese Imperial fighters launch air strikes again, the losses suffered by the entire Joint Expeditionary Fleet will be lighter." ”

At the time of the first wave of air raids by aircraft carriers of the Royal Chinese Navy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and the weakest Ottoman Turkish Empire were in the order of the British Navy, the United States Navy, the German Navy, the French Navy, the Italian Navy, the Russian Navy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the weakest Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Everderson nodded in understanding and said, "Your Excellency Commander, don't worry, your subordinates know what to do!" ”

In the bridge of the Helgolan-class dreadnought battleship Helgolan, the flagship of the German Navy, Tessim, as the commander of the German naval fleet, said to Tolebad, the captain of the Helgolan, with a depressed face: "I didn't expect that the fighters of the Chinese Empire could really cross such a vast sea and launch an air attack on our second joint expeditionary fleet, so that speculation may be true, the navy of the Chinese Empire already has warships that can carry fighters, Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the presence of a large number of Chinese Imperial warplanes at this location in the Arabian Sea. ”

Tolebad also looked very frustrated, "Commander, in the last naval battle, we suffered a big loss from the Chinese Imperial fighters, and now according to the scale of the first wave of air attacks by the Chinese Imperial fighters. This time, we, the Allied and Entente powers, together with the United States, formed the second joint expeditionary fleet. There will be more Chinese Imperial fighters to face, and it may even be several times as many as the last one. Will our reconstituted Combined Expeditionary Fleet still have a chance of winning a decisive battle at sea? I am afraid that again, like last time, the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet will be half-destroyed under the bombardment of the Chinese Imperial Navy's fighters, and then turn into a rout under the attack of the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy. ”

Tessim sighed and said: "I am also worried about this, and in the air raid just now, our German Navy has already sunk 2 dreadnought battleships and 2 all-steel battleships by the fighters of the Chinese Empire. You know, this time our German Navy almost took out most of the family funds. If our losses are too great, it will affect the overall strategy of our German navy, and even our own German coastline, which will lack the protection of a strong German navy in a short time. ”

Tolebad hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, do you mean that we withdraw from the Joint Expeditionary Fleet?" ”

Tessime sighed again and said: "Even if I have the intention of retreating, it is impossible for our German Navy to withdraw from the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, after all, the formation of the second Joint Expeditionary Fleet this time was agreed by us Germany at the meeting of the Nine Nations, and the scale of the fleets sent by various countries was also determined after repeated consultations, so it is impossible for us to retreat and retreat." In that case, we in Germany will bear the infamy of treachery! ”

Pullebad sighed and continued, "Commander, what should we do?" Admiral Bridget of the British Navy, let our navies immediately pursue the direction of the departure of the Chinese Imperial fighters, and destroy those Imperial Chinese warships that can carry the fighters. But we don't know how far away the warships of the Chinese Empire can carry warplanes from here. Until our combined expeditionary fleet finds those warships, it is very likely that the warplanes of the Chinese Empire will launch air strikes against us, if there are a few more air raids of this magnitude. Our joint expeditionary fleet will not have to fight a decisive battle at sea with the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy! Our German Navy could not afford such huge losses! ”

Tessim pondered for a moment and said, "Tolebad, let our warships salvage the surviving German naval officers and men at sea. Do not rush to pursue in the direction of the departure of the Chinese Imperial fighters, let the British, Americans and French chase first. We are following them, and if things are not good, I would rather take all the blame and keep this main fleet of our German Navy. ”

In the bridge of the Provence-class dreadnought battleship also called the Radiance of the French Navy, the French Navy fleet commander François's expression was very serious at this time, although none of the French Navy's dreadnought battleships were sunk in the first wave of air raids, but in the first wave of air raids by Chinese imperial fighters, the loss of 1 Dandong-class all-steel battleship, 1 ironclad battleship, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 2 fast protection cruisers, 2 destroyers and 1 torpedo boat also made François very unhappy.

The French Navy's Provence-class dreadnought battleship Radiance, in the first joint expeditionary fleet, is the flagship of the French Navy, and this time the second joint expeditionary fleet was formed, and the French Navy's Orion-class super-class dreadnought battleship Radiance has the same name, and is still the flagship of the French Navy.

Rizaram, the captain of the French Radiance, walked up to François and said: "Commander, General Bridget of the British Navy has sent you a telegram, asking our French Navy to speed up in the direction of the departure of the Chinese Imperial fighters, Admiral Bridget thinks that the Chinese Imperial Navy may have warships carrying fighters, and our entire joint expeditionary fleet needs to find those warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy as soon as possible and sink them." ”

François nodded and said: "This can explain why the fighters of the Chinese Empire can fly to the sea at least 1,500 kilometers from the land, it seems that the navy of the Chinese Empire is equipped with many warships that can carry fighters." ”

Rizaram asked, "Commander, did we immediately chase in the direction of the departure of the Chinese Imperial fighter planes according to General Bridget's orders?" ”

Without hesitation, François said, "No! Let's wait a minute, let the fleets of other countries go first, our French navy follows them, the fighters of the Chinese Empire will definitely launch the next wave of air raids, walking behind the entire joint expeditionary fleet, the attack will definitely be much weaker, you see that the Austro-Hungarian naval fleet and the Ottoman Turkish Imperial naval fleet, which were originally walking last, did not sink even a single warship in the first wave of air raids. ”

In the bridge of the Valdo-class dreadnought battleship Waldo, the flagship of the Russian Navy, the commander of the Russian naval fleet, Vladilenovich, had a very hideous expression, this time the second joint expeditionary fleet was formed, and the Russian Navy followed the orders of Tsar Nicholas II, almost poured out, and the remaining 4 dreadnought battleships and 4 all-steel battleships of the Russian Navy, as well as 5 large fast armored cruisers, 16 fast protection cruisers and 17 destroyers were all sent, In addition to a dozen old warships and a few offshore gunboats in Russian ports, slightly more advanced warships have joined the second joint expeditionary fleet.

As a result, before the shadow of the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy was seen, the Russian Navy had 1 Russian-class dreadnought battleship, 1 Peresvet-class all-steel battleship, 1 fast protection cruiser and 1 destroyer sunk in the air raid.

The captain of the Waldo, Tiudokaf, sighed and said: "The Chinese Empire should have warships that can carry fighters, and Admiral Bridget of the British Navy ordered the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet to pursue the direction of the departure of the Chinese Empire's fighters and destroy those warships." ”

Vladilenovich gritted his teeth and said: "Let the navies of other countries go to the front first, and we will follow behind them, the air attack of the Chinese Imperial fighters will definitely not be just once, and the more you are in front, the greater the loss." ”

Although the commanders of the fleets of Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire received the order of the commander-in-chief, Bridget, to pursue the fleets of various countries in the direction of the departure of the Chinese Imperial fighters, they did not immediately carry out the order, so a strange phenomenon appeared, and after the first wave of air raids by the aircraft carriers of the Royal Chinese Navy was over, all the fleets of the countries of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet began to turn in circles.
