"Confirm the shadow of the Cape of Good Hope in front of the left, come to the light communication: the 1st Cruiser Squadron is in good condition, now return, please instruct Rear Admiral Abbasnot."

After listening to the report of the observation post, Lieutenant Colonel Willy, a senior staff officer crouching at the chart table on the bridge, analyzed what was marked on the map and said to Jericho on the deck chair: "Abbasnot's armored cruiser has also returned...... Although there is only one capital ship left, the light forces of the original reconnaissance force have been gathered to him, and in order to prevent the other party's night attack, it is necessary to join these forces as soon as possible. ”

Colonel Brown, the chief of staff on another recliner, shook his head while swallowing medicine: "Bernie's support force is also about to arrive, if you want to join Betty as soon as possible, you must reduce the speed of the formation, so that the convergence with Bernie's troops will be delayed, and it will be easier for the enemy to catch up." ”

Willy pointed his finger at the chart table and retorted, "The light strength of Betty's troops is necessary for us to survive tonight, and we cannot let the enemy divide and eat them, and besides, these broken ships in our main column will not be able to continue to maintain maximum speed." ”

Jericho raised his hand to stop Brown's attempt to continue to provoke, and said with difficulty through the pain in his neck: "Order: First, Abbasnot's 1st Cruiser Squadron should go out before the Barham and become the vanguard of the whole army; Second, the whole ship maintained its current course, the speed was reduced to 15 knots, and it was observed and prepared to join the rearguard and support team. ”

After the order was delivered, Jericho turned to Willy with a white face: "What is the situation around the main column now?" ”

Willy took the folding ruler and compared it on the chart: "Commodore Murray's 2nd Mother Squadron is on the starboard side of the column, the 3 seaplane carriers are intact, and there are 11 seaplanes on board, and the cover is the 5th Cruiser Squadron of the original reconnaissance force, the Brand and Brauch, as well as the surviving destroyers of the 1st Fleet directly under the original main force. ”

"Rear Admiral Haas's 2nd Cruiser Squadron also has 3 armored cruisers, which, together with the remaining available forces of the 1st and 2nd fleets, a total of 1 light cruiser and 12 destroyers, are taking on the task of shielding the port side of the column, and 2 more seriously wounded destroyers are being towed by friendly ships and temporarily serve as resettlement ships for some of the rescued crews."

Jericho listened and twisted his fingers to figure out something, and finally asked with difficulty, "Have you confirmed the forces gathered to Betty?" ”

"Yes. I just confirmed the local situation. Betty's side assembled the USS Southhampton and HMS Dublin. Commodore Admiral's 1st Cruiser Squadron was left only on the Liverpool. and Commodore Goodnov's 2nd Light Cruiser Squadron of the 3rd Caroline class. a total of 6 light cruisers; The 3rd 1st fleet still has one destroyer and 12 destroyers available. Another seriously damaged ground destroyer was towed by a friendly ship and served as a resettlement ship. ”

"Because of them. Betty can be rescued. Brown interjected, intentionally or unintentionally.

Willie sneered slightly. Put down the ruler and go to the corner of the table to get the coffee cup.

"That's right. However, it is absurd and undesirable to allow this large group of key forces in the night battle to protect only one battleship. Even at the risk of being overtaken by the enemy. 'Rendezvous with it' must also be given the highest priority. ”

“…… It's 9 o'clock and 7:15 war zone time. ”

Pan Guochen glanced sideways at a row of wall clocks on the wall and finished reading, and immediately resumed his tense posture of standing with his chest upright and his hands behind his back.

"This old man is really good, the ball has been kicked here......"

On the soft couch, Her Majesty the Empress Qianhua turned over lazily, and her long legs wrapped in black silk were meaninglessly rubbed and staggered.

Pan Guochen continued to pretend to ignore it, maintaining a solemn state of twelve points: "Do you want to convene a meeting of the Admiralty of the base camp?" ”

Qianhua rubbed her eyes seemingly carelessly: "Those old men...... Not on duty anymore? ”

"They've always been on time."

Pan Guochen's tone did not contain too much sarcasm.

Qianhua twisted the scatter in his ear: "Then there is no need, call back to Sa Zhenbing and let him make his own decision." ”

"Understood."

When Pan Guochen went out to give orders to the staff officer on duty, Qianhua squinted and pointed to Ye Jingying, who was standing beside him with his hands down.

Ye Jingying glared at Pan Guochen's back angrily, quickly changed to a procedural and respectful expression, and took two steps forward to Qianhua.

"Your Majesty is tired, aren't you? Do you want to move the Yuehua Palace? ”

Qianhua smiled and shook her head, motioning for her to sit down and sit down on her long staggered legs.

"How's it going?"

Ye Jingying blinked innocently: "What us?" What progress? I don't know why His Majesty said in the mirror......"

Qianhua frowned and smiled, and her slender fingers tapped the lace skirt under Ye Jingying's knees: "If you like to pretend to be stupid, continue to pretend, anyway, you won't see him again after a while, after this war, I am going to reach out to the navy, and I have to have a reliable leader." ”

Ye Jingying's pair of black and white glass bead-like eyes flickered to the side: "If you can't see it, you can't see it, who is rare." ”

Qianhua smacked his tongue and smiled: "You just have a hard mouth, otherwise, don't worry about it, I heard that several grandfathers and princes have sent matchmakers to the door, wanting to recruit our Xiao Pan to be the son-in-law of the east bed." ”

"Isn't that good, young and beautiful and well-informed, who is not better than me, who is not from a broken flower and Liu Fengyue, if you don't dislike it, the mirror is willing to serve your majesty for the rest of your life."

"Fool, no one can serve me for the rest of my life...... Don't you know everything? ”

"Even if it'......"

"Even if you are not by my side, you can share my worries, I don't want you to delay your life like this, Xiao Pan is a good person, entrust you to him, I am the most assured."

"But ......"

The door opened, it was Pan Guochen, obviously he didn't know that he had interrupted the conversation between the master and servant about him, but he hurried to Qianhua with the wind on his feet to resume his life.

"I suddenly want to drink, mirror, go get some red wine."

Of course, Ye Jingying knew that this was Qianhua taking the opportunity to let her sort out her thoughts, so as not to let Pan Guochen see anything, but even if she lowered her head carefully and turned around, she still couldn't avoid being seen by Pan Guochen Her reddened eyes.

"What's wrong with the female officer?" Pan Guochen was rightly concerned.

"I'm homesick." Qianhua hurriedly pulled the conversation over, and motioned to Ye Jingying with her eyes, "Don't get out of the house soon."

Pan Guochen paused for a moment, and said with a cheeky face: "That's the case, when do I want to visit the family of the female official, I don't know ......."

Ye Jingying just didn't hear it, and went out with her head down, leaving Pan Guochen to stay there in a daze, until Qianhua called him, and then suddenly woke up.

"Staff Officer Pan, I have something to tell you."
