"What you said is good, but we can't be careless, the Chinese people have always been very cunning, and they are also a group of out-and-out madmen, who knows what crazy actions these madmen will make this time!" Robert said with a frown.

"I remember that the Chinese people have a very good saying, called the Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, and now the Chinese people are in such a dilemma. Now that their main naval force is thousands of miles away, what if they find out about us? The adjutant said unconcernedly.

"It is said that you are a Huaxia Tong, it seems that this is true. So if you were the commander of the Chinese people, what would you do in the face of such a situation? Robert asked with a smile.

"If I were a Chinese, I would have to hide in the harbor obediently now, use the shore defense batteries to defend, and then concentrate my forces to drive us away. However, at this time, even if all the warships of the Huaxia Navy left behind in the country are concentrated, they may not be our opponents. What's more, it will take a certain amount of time for them to gather troops, and this time is enough for us to destroy a few ports of the Huaxia people, and then go away. At that time, the Chinese people will also be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and there will be suffering! Thinking about the expressions of the Chinese people at that time, I feel ridiculous. The adjutant laughed as he spoke.

Robert nodded noncommittally and said, "What you say makes sense, but I always feel that something is wrong." What's wrong? Robert's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Ah~! I remember! Robert said with some excitement, "If you think about it carefully, with the intelligence of the Chinese people, it is impossible not to discover our large-scale expansion of naval bases in Pearl Harbor and Guam, and it is impossible to hide the news of the establishment of our Pacific Fleet from the Chinese people." But the Chinese people don't know anything about it, and last month the pest country dispatched a fleet to support the Chinese expeditionary fleet in the Indian Ocean. ”

"Maybe the Chinese people think that we set up the Pacific Fleet just to prevent the Chinese Empire from attacking our country in the Pacific direction! The Pacific Theater of Operations of the Chinese people was specially set up for this purpose, and they must not have thought that we would take the initiative to launch an attack on China. Yes, it must be. These Chinese people have always been self-righteous, they arrogantly think that their Chinese empire has become strong enough to make us Americans fearful, these Chinese people have always been so arrogant! The adjutant said with an affirmative expression.

The adjutant's explanation did not make Robert let his guard down, and Robert frowned and thought for a moment, "No! Still not right! As you said earlier, the purpose of the establishment of the Pacific Theater by the Chinese was to launch an attack on China from the Pacific Ocean, but now the Pacific Theater has been established for several months. However, the Pacific Theater only has an army in its establishment, but not a navy, so is it possible that they will swim across the Pacific Ocean to attack us, the United States? Obviously, this is impossible, but at this time, it is very suspicious that they are still sailing the main naval force to the Indian Ocean. ”

"Haven't we discussed this before? It was concluded that the Chinese thought they could easily defeat our combined fleet in the Indian Ocean and seize sea supremacy, but the result was that they won the Battle of the Gulf of Aden. However, it did not completely seize the supremacy of the sea. Moreover, now that the Eurasian and African theaters are the main battlefields, the Huaxia Army needs a stronger navy to support their offensive on the Mediterranean coast, so it will send a navy to the Indian Ocean again. The adjutant said with a puzzled look on his face.

"No~! After all, this is just wishful thinking on our part! The truth of the facts is known only to the Chinese themselves. Anyway, I don't think it's that simple. Robert said with a frown.

"The Commander seems to be a little too cautious! The Chinese are not omnipotent gods. Whatever the reason, in short, the navy in the Chinese Empire does not pose any threat to us at all, so what do we have to fear? The adjutant said with a frown.

"The current war is extremely unfavorable to our side of the Entente, so we must be extremely cautious." Robert insisted on his opinion. He said with a stern face, "Immediately order all the reconnaissance planes to take off and conduct an all-round reconnaissance of the nearby sea areas!" With that, Robert turned and strode towards the command room.

March 7 at noon. The reconnaissance planes of the US Pacific Fleet discovered that a large fleet had appeared near the US fleet, and there was no doubt that this fleet belonged to the Chinese Empire.

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! Robert slapped the telegram on the table with a look of disbelief.

"It's hard to believe, but it's true!" A rear admiral said with a look of frustration.

"Isn't the main naval force of the Chinese Empire already rushing to the Indian Ocean? So how could such a large fleet appear in the waters of China. According to our intelligence, even if the Huaxia Navy is all assembled at present, it is impossible to form such a powerful fleet! Robert shouted with a glare.

"Two emperor-class battleships, isn't there only a total of four emperor-class battleships in the Huaxia Empire? Three are in the Indian Ocean and one is in Australia, so how can two more pop up here? The adjutant also looked incredulous.

"There is only one explanation, these two super dreadnoughts are the latest equipment of the Huaxia people." The rear admiral next to him couldn't help but remind.

"How is that possible? These are two giant ships of more than 30,000 tons, not destroyers, and it is impossible for the Huaxia Empire to build such two giant ships in a short period of time without being discovered by our intelligence department! The adjutant retorted loudly.

"That's it! Now is not the time to discuss these! Now the most important thing is what do we do? Robert said unceremoniously.

"Two Emperor-class battleships, one Wuyue-class battleship, three super dreadnoughts, plus five dreadnoughts, seven ex-dreadnoughts, a total of 15 battleships. And we have only one super-dreadnought and two dreadnoughts, four ex-dreadnoughts, a total of seven battleships, and the enemy's strength is more than twice that of our army. The rear admiral calmly analyzed.

"In any case, our mission has failed, and now we have two options in front of us, either return to Pearl Harbor in disgrace, or fight to the death with the Chinese!" Robert said with a helpless sigh. Robert's mood at this time was extremely frustrated, it seemed that the Huaxia people had been prepared at all, and deliberately set a trap for them to drill in, and they actually got into it so stupidly.
