The feint attack of the advance fleet did not go as planned, leading to the US Atlantic Fleet, and Freeport and Kendley Field were severely attacked by "Hong's Penguin" air-to-surface missiles, four transport ships were sunk, and more than a dozen US warplanes on the runway were destroyed before they could take off.

But none of this is enough to kill. From beginning to end, the Americans returned fire only from the ground artillery fire, and only the squadron of "Triangular Javelin" interceptors.

The maximum speed of the "Triangular Javelin" of nearly Mach 2 still poses a great threat to the Royal Navy's J-15 "Eagle" and G-41 "Brute Dragon".

Six "Brute Dragons" were shot down by the "Triangle Javelin" AIM-9L Super Sidewinder, but the price paid by the Americans was not low, and the Sparrow-7 of the J-15 "Eagle" carrier-based aircraft also shot down five "Triangle Javelins", which is already one-third of the fighters of the Bermuda Air Force squadron.

Guan Canghai was a little disappointed by such a result, but he was not surprised. You can't expect your enemies to be fools, and you should never underestimate your enemy's intelligence. Since the Americans were not fooled by the combined fleet's plan to lure the enemy, they went all out to seize the island. Commander Kwan did not believe that the Atlantic Fleet would sit idly by and watch the Allies capture Bermuda.

The Yuanhao aircraft carrier battle group from the Royal Atlantic Fleet was ordered to stay in the waters east of Bermuda Sea Hills, which were more than 300 nautical miles away from the Bermuda Islands, and the aircraft carrier battle group Gongjin and Boyan of the Northern Fleet were ordered to sail towards Bermuda to make a forced landing posture while protecting the dock landing ships Zibu and Zigang carrying soldiers from a regiment of marines.

The Allied fleet was required to remain in the waters east of Bermuda Hills in order to avoid the threat of land-based aircraft from the U.S. military. Bermuda is only 970 kilometers away from South Carolina, the closest state to the continental United States, and most of the main combat aircraft of the US military have a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers. It is very unwise to fight within the combat radius of the US land-based aircraft.

Although the ultimate goal of the "Zheng He" plan was to land on the east coast of the United States, and the confrontation with the US Air Force was inevitable, Guan Canghai did not intend to enter the rhythm of fire at the beginning of the battle. Lu Fengxian has the ability to defeat Sanying, but there is no need to fight more with less every game, right?

Three aircraft carrier battle groups assembled and approached Bermuda's operational waters, and this time Admiral King did not take it lightly. Without the acquisition of a supply base in the western part of the North Atlantic, relying on supply ships alone was not enough to support the long-term battle of the Chinese Allied fleet in the ocean. The Americans also expected that Guan Canghai would fail to test and would launch a real attack on Bermuda in the short term.

Admiral King's tactics placed the Atlantic Fleet in the waters between Bermuda and South Carolina, with Savannah and Charleston as bases. Both the inclusion of Bermuda in the combat radius of the fleet puts the Atlantic Fleet in the range that shore-based aircraft can support at any time. The operations staff of the Atlantic Fleet called this tactic a "serial set."

The Atlantic Fleet acted as a staging post, allowing every unit in the "chain set" to be double-protected after the battle began. When Allied long-range reconnaissance planes discovered the location of the Atlantic Fleet, Guan Canghai was extremely disdainful of it.

"Is this Nima still a blue ocean fleet? Isn't this just a turtle shrunk in its shell? ”

Drag is unbearable, people are fighting at home, and supplies can be obtained at any time. The combined fleet of the Chinese alliance is an expedition, and the nearest base is in the Azores on the other side of the Atlantic.

Guan Canghai began to consider whether to risk being flanked by the US Navy and Air Force and storm Bermuda. But the chief of staff of the fleet, Zhong Tingguo, did not support the assault!

"The shore-based aircraft of the US military can reach any point within the combat radius within ninety minutes. Moreover, in the latest intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency, the US Air Force's military refueling capability has been mentioned. From now on, we must beware that US fighters can fight beyond the radius. What is more important is that with the communications capability of the US military, we cannot afford to win a chance to inflict heavy damage on the US fleet in the coastal waters of the United States. ”

"Damn, it's not okay to attack, and if you want to see Sister Allure, you won't let me, what do you want?" Floating like this in the ocean, the fighter plane is hard to find, and Commander Guan is so annoyed that he can't choose to speak.

Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Zhong was not as usual, as soon as he mentioned Sister Allure, it was like stepping on a cat's tail, and Guan Canghai was in a hurry!

"Commander, do you really want to see my sister?"

"Uh......" Guan Canghai was stunned, "Ah, of course I want to, I've been thinking about it for more than a year!" ”

"No regrets?"

"What do you regret? It can't be that you kid lied to me, Sister Allure is ugly, right? ”

“…… My sister and I are dragon and phoenix fetuses, do you look at Lao Tzu's face, it looks like it's ugly? ”

"Old Zhong, what do you think you're anxious about? I'm just asking! By the way, do you really agree to take me to meet your sister? ”

"Well, if you win the Atlantic Fleet, I'll take you there!" Zhong Tingguo smiled slightly, making Guan Canghai feel like he had fallen into a trap.

But it has already been said that how can a man retreat, if it is okay, he will listen to Zhong Tingguo and talk about his sister's trendy thoughts, and the person is beautiful or something, the old bachelor Guan Canghai is itching in his heart.

Born in the Red Police Legion, there are many singles! Zhong Yi also summoned some female soldiers at the beginning, but it was obvious that there were more wolves and less meat, such as Guan Canghai, who was more demanding than challenging ships, and was destined to be lonely.

It was easy to meet a chief of staff who was not from the Red Police Corps, who had a family and a small family in China, and the name of Sister Allure that sounded fascinating, Commander Guan decided to end his single life in one fell swoop.

The calendar in the wheelhouse of the command ship has almost turned over in May, and the huge expedition of the Chinese alliance joint fleet has been nearly a month, and the officer in charge of logistics has given a report that the supplies carried by the fleet can last for half a month, provided that it continues to drift on the ocean like this and does not have a large-intensity battle.

Fighters are hard to find, and strong attacks can't be done...... It's not impossible, the main thing is that you can't see Sister Allure if you attack it. "Lao Zhong is a good person, but he is too strong, and the aircraft carrier can't pull it back! Having such a brother-in-law is not necessarily a good thing! ”

…… When people still see it, Zhong Tingguo has already become a brother-in-law! In Commander Guan's opinion, as long as we can see it, we are one meter seven big...... Even if it's a medium one, the most important thing is that he looks dignified, a talent, and a golden three-star badge on his shoulder, an imperial admiral, can he take it anywhere? After meeting with Allure, isn't that still handy? Maybe you can have a beauty/woman on the spot, and you'll be done.

Even the fat man of Long got a Yanma daughter-in-law in Hawaii, and Jiang Shuai successfully captured the famous Queen of Guoan, so that Guan Canghai, who was concerned about the imperial army, has been on the list for several years.

"Win the Yankees, goodbye to Singles' Day!" Guan Canghai is full of enthusiasm for lofty ideals and good wishes.

For two days in a row, the commanders of the fleets of various countries were summoned to the Zhongmou ship to discuss the battle plan.

Those who are brute will all be directly vetoed by the chief of staff, Zhong Tingguo. Surprise attacks, after argumentation, are all proven to be pure cheats. In the era of rapid changes in communication technology and radar technology, the tactical thinking of the naval fleet is a little out of pace! The thinking of many admirals is still stuck in the pre-radar era or even the battleship era.

Rear Admiral Takto, the commander of the Kemal, the only cruiser sent by Turkey in the combined fleet, proposed a plan that made everyone laugh: send a strike fleet to Bermuda at night, and after launching an artillery bombardment before dawn, the marines would land in assault boats.

The naval officers of Judah and Italy, both of the Imperial and those who had experienced the naval battles of the Mediterranean, were speechless! Feelings: This buddy still thinks that naval warfare is still the era of cannons and giant ships! Also take advantage of the night...... Why don't you give it a try? Even shipborne radars can search for a distance of more than 150 kilometers, not to mention more powerful ground-based radar stations.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Takto also realized that he might have made a fool of himself, so he sneered and found a corner to sit down secretly, and decided not to speak again tonight.

Like Rear Admiral Thaktor, there are not many people who are ignorant of modern naval warfare. During the Kemal era, the Turkish Navy was almost eliminated in the military sequence, and after Inonu came to power, due to the limited national strength and the long-term pursuit of a neutral foreign policy, the investment in the navy was extremely limited. This can be clearly seen from the fact that the Turkish Navy has only one cruiser named after Kemal, the founding father of the nation, in the formation of the combined fleet.

Of course, after joining the Chinese League, Inonu, who received some war dividends, is also trying to improve Turkey's position in the alliance. Seeing that the navies of Spain and the Kingdom of Judah had greatly increased their strength due to the addition of alliance-class aircraft carriers, Inonu also proposed to the Han Emperor to exchange copper ore for aircraft carriers, and was approved by Zhong Yi.

The base is about to close, and the empire's latest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is also under development, Zhong Yi even thought of using the last time before the base is dormant to make another profit, and sell the weapons and equipment produced by the base, including the marshal-class aircraft carrier, to the allies.

Thinking about some of the previous wrong decisions, it is indeed debatable whether the director is now making money or being short-sighted to start selling arms on a large scale before the end of the war.

Sooner or later, the marshal class will be sold, but there must be two conditions, the first is the end of the war; The second is the maturity of the Empire's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology.

The Perth, the lead ship of the Tornado-class nuclear submarine, has been launched, and the final assembly phase is progressing smoothly. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier project has also carried out the stage of tackling key technologies.

Even without the support of the base, the Empire's scientific and technological research and development is still very good! It's just a pity that the development of space technology is somewhat slow, which drags down the long-range strike capabilities of ground-based missile forces. Including the application of satellites, it is still far from meeting the requirements of Zhong Yi's heart, if there are now more than ten or twenty imperial spy satellites in the outer space of the earth, and every move of the Americans can be included in the monitoring, the combined fleet in Guan Canghai will not have to worry so much!
