Although he was hostile to the aristocratic officers, he had to finally do his duty: "Mr. Minister, I still hope that before the army is dispatched, I will send an aircraft carrier formation to approach Zhonghua Island to reconnoiter and determine the strength of the iron-blooded army before making a move." "Nimitz, just in case, if they are cautious because they find the strength of the Predator Navy, it will also prevent the fleet from being in danger.

Dewey sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and nodded, as if he had approved of Nimitz's proposal, and then ignored him. Nimitz sighed, knowing that he was already persona non grata here.

Nimitz put on his military hat and saluted Dewey with a standard military salute, and then walked out of the office, while Remus on the side looked at Nimitz's distant figure with a smug face and snorted softly: "What a guy who can't measure himself, thinking that after winning a battle, he will get rid of his lowly civilian status and be on an equal footing with the nobles, it's really delusional." ”

Walking out of the office, Nimitz looked at the gloomy sky and let out a long breath, his mood was as gloomy as this one, not because he had been dismissed, but because he was worried about the fate of his sailors. Nimitz pondered to himself as he walked, blaming the last victory for coming too suddenly, and everyone in the navy was carried away by the victory.

It is no wonder that the Imperial Chinese Navy has always been synonymous with strength and a boulder that weighs on the head of the Boston Navy. Once this boulder is moved, everyone will be a little fluttering, that is, they are not a little complacent at the beginning. But the victory came really a little incredible, Feng Ju is also a veteran of the Chinese Imperial Navy, all the way through the crawler, from the cruiser captain after more than ten years of struggle to reach the current position, in fact, how rich is the experience of warfare, how could he be so paralyzed and careless, let himself easily sneak attack success.

If the ships of the Chinese Navy that he sank were fake, thinking of this, Nimitz stopped suddenly, and he gasped, if it was really as he thought, the Boston Navy had already fallen into a huge trap, which could potentially swallow the entire Boston Imperial Ocean Fleet, or even the entire Empire.

Nimitz was a little dumbfounded, could he have been fooled, he had the idea of going back and telling his thoughts to the big guys, but this idea was quickly dispelled by him, he had just been blasted out, what face did he have to go back.

Even if he didn't want to go back and tell him in shame, who would believe his speculation, and now Nimitz could only pray for the blessing of the gods, and his speculation would not come true. At this time, in the office, the complacent Remus immediately announced that he would lead the fleet to set off the next morning, and strive to capture the Oahu Islands in the shortest possible time.

As a rising star in the Navy of the year, Dewey was not a fool after all, and he instructed: "What Nimitz just said also has some truth, you must first send a formation of four aircraft carriers to approach Zhonghua Island to conduct reconnaissance, and wait until the reconnaissance results before attacking the Oahu Islands." If there is any problem, the fleet immediately returns home. ”

Remus agreed, but in his heart the boss was not happy, if Dewey didn't mention Nimitz, it would be fine, and he would make Remus angry. Therefore, he decided to send some warships casually, and he would not wait for the news of this fleet to attack the Oahu Islands, after all, the soldiers are very fast. It's a pity that Remus doesn't know what kind of disaster his decision will bring to him.

The next morning, a huge ocean-going fleet of forty-five aircraft carriers was ordered to set sail, accompanied by dozens of naval landing ships and hundreds of merchant ships of various types, carrying more than 100,000 Boston Army soldiers. At the same time, a small inconspicuous fleet set sail south, and they were ordered to reconnoiter the island of China.

Remus was extremely resistant to Nimitz's suggestion, and even Dewey's orders were equally disobeyed, so he sent only an old-fashioned aircraft carrier, the USS Langley. With a displacement of only 13,000 tons, the USS Langley was the first experimental aircraft carrier of the Boston Empire, and was converted from a coal carrier.

This converted aircraft carrier lacks a lot of necessary equipment, not only is it slow and its ability to resist strikes is not strong, but because there is no hangar and elevator, the aircraft carrier can only park 11 Corsair fighters on the deck, it is simply a naval training ship, and it is not in the sequence of formal troops.

It was not enough for such an aircraft carrier to go out alone, and Remus also used the excuse that there were not enough escort ships to equip the aircraft carrier with only two destroyers, making the fleet more like an offshore training than an ocean-going mission. Of course, a small fleet also has a small advantage, and against the backdrop of a huge expeditionary fleet, this small fleet was used as a training fleet by the satellite system of the Chinese Empire, and was magnificently ignored.

As soon as the Boston Ocean Fleet left the port, the satellites of the Chinese Empire were eyeing it, and every step of its direction was clearly transmitted to the joint command, and the news was then handed over to Feng Ju, who was on standby in the eastern ocean.

After receiving the news, Feng Ju, who had already made all the preparations, immediately carried out the plan in advance, and ordered all the island defense troops and coastal defense fleets of the Oahu Islands to prepare to meet the enemy, while he himself personally sat in the aircraft carrier formation of the Eastern Ocean Fleet, and took all the capital ships that had long been hidden in the Colon Islands, which belonged to the Latin Kingdom in the south, to pull anchor and go north, preparing to cut off the return route of the Boston Imperial Ocean Fleet.

Due to the large number of extremely slow merchant ships in the fleet, Remus's fleet could only travel at a low speed of eight knots, so it took them half a month's trek to reach the vicinity of the Oahu Islands from the Boston Empire.

This speed also has advantages, that is, the destroyer's reconnaissance capability against submarines has been greatly improved, because the fleet speed is very slow, the noise emitted by one's own ships is much smaller, as long as a sufficient number of destroyers are scattered, it is enough to use the new active sonar that has just been reequipped to detect the Seawolf 2 submarine with a depth of no more than 100 meters. Of course, this is only limited to the Seawolf 2 submarine when the depth is small, and when it is sailing at full speed underwater, they are powerless against the Seawolf 3 submarine, but this device can detect the Chinese Imperial submarine after all, at least the Boston sailors think so.
