Cato answered his question very well: "Command! ”

"Oh?"

"Don't you feel like a rabble of people who have been fighting each other so indiscriminately these days? The British knew that this would happen for a long time, and sent a big man to come over and take unified command. ”

This is also true, take last night as an example, if the command was established, Fabrizio would not have dared to be so slack, let alone so arrogant later.

"! That's right, why didn't our Admiralty clarify the command authority? Are the big guys eating? ”

Xu Zhonglin still has little experience in participating in the war, Cato reminded him that he realized the importance of command, with this name, the admirals sent by Italy will be unified under one will, and the combat power will undoubtedly improve a lot.

"Ahem!" Cato was a little embarrassed.

"Mary, get some medicine for Cato, this guy must have caught a cold last night, don't infect me." Xu Zhonglin didn't see Cato's expression, he greeted Alexandrovna.

In this era, getting any illness is not a trivial matter, and Xu Zhonglin doesn't want to hang up because of a cold.

Alexandrovna's name is a Russian tradition, not long enough to circle the earth a few times to appear very uncultured, tasteless, but the daily life is very awkward, usually with nicknames, she has two nicknames, Mary and Ovna.

Mary was her original German name, the same as the Bloody Mary. Here I have to complain about the technology that Europeans are named for, Xu Zhonglin didn't cross before everyone often ridiculed Xiao Ming, Xiao Hua and the like. The name Mary is almost the European version of Little Flower, and only John can compare to her.

Cato stopped Alexandrovna: "No need, I'm not sick. I would like to say that this matter is probably not the Admiralty's pot, this is my reason. ”

"What do you mean?"

"My dad thinks this Commander is a good opportunity to practice, but I don't have enough qualifications and need time to operate, you know."

Damn the second generation of nobles!

"Then when are you going to get the command?"

Xu Zhonglin has no jealousy and disgust for this kind of black-box operation, Cato gets it almost the same as he gets, and he is a foreigner, he will never get it. This guy's business quality is still excellent, and it is better than others to send him to be cannon fodder. Now he was only worried that there would be too much time, that the Germans were pressing forward step by step, and that if they were not united, they would be destroyed sooner or later.

"Come on, my sister will be here in a few days, and the Admiralty will send an order at the same time."

The war is tight, Kate de Medici, a senior girl who has not yet graduated, graduated early, and the battlefield can train people better than any internship, provided that they are not cannon fodder to send them to death, which is obviously no problem for the Medici family.

"Wow, so, my resources are almost up?"

Madame Catherine had promised him a resource from the blueprints of the Soviet-class battleships that had not yet appeared, and the amount of resources was quite large, astronomical for him, enough to raise his fleet to a great level. So someone is quite looking forward to it.

Cato craned his neck and looked into the distance, looking expectantly: "Yes, and my ship's mother." ”

Xu Zhonglin was curious about what kind of support Cato would get, but at this time, a voice interrupted his curiosity.

"Report to the Admiral, I found the Stuka Formation Attack Group flying over the sea, and the other party is asking me for my identity."

The voice of the goddess of love poetry, Eleto, was anxious.

"Don't panic, how many are there?"

"Four-plane formation! With torpedoes under the pylons! ”

Xu Zhonglin looked at the respective positions of his shipwrecks from the chart, Eleto was found when he was carrying out his order to move closer to the coastline from west to east, and now she was about fifteen nautical miles away from the west coast of Meenland Island, and the others were further west, so she was discovered first.

"Tell the other party that you are a destroyer under the command of the British Empire's home fleet, and this is the British territory, let them get out of the way. Annie, go over and support. ”

Athena and the others have just formed a large formation, and they are hovering and confronting each other near the German fleet, the pirate's ceiling is higher than that of the ME-109T, and a group of small aircraft mothers are using the height advantage to tease the German aircraft group, which is an equipment advantage.

Only Anne, who was shrinking back after receiving the information, had spare strength, and Anne's fleet did not maneuver too far to the northeast, and they were scattered far apart from each other, and she was the most timely to support.

Anne agreed: "Okay, Admiral, rest assured, my children are now over Meenland, and if the Germans dare to do it, I will kick them in the ass." ”

Yes, his little girl finally has some self-confidence, Xu Zhonglin is very pleased with Anne's ability, and the battlefield is indeed the most tempering place.

It's just that the situation on the battlefield is changing.

"Enemy attack!"

Eleto's voice made everyone's mood tense up.

Without waiting for Xu Zhonglin to ask, Xiao Expel reported the battle situation step by step: "The Germans said that Britain did not have a destroyer of my type at all, and that I was a pirate impersonating me and launched an attack on me. Our ship fired four torpedoes at ten o'clock, and they wanted to force me away from the coastline, and deduced that there would be a larger group of attack aircraft to follow. ”

"Circumvent!"

Xu Zhonglin only came and shouted this sentence, and the situation on the other side was also on the bow.

Athena's report interrupted him: "The enemy fighter group is turning south, please instruct!" ”

"Hit!"

Germany was actually embarrassed at this time, Xu Zhonglin's Corsair fighter flew too high, and kept hovering above their ME-109T, which made people feel angry. Obviously, the other party saw the advantage of Xu Zhonglin's plane, and wanted to force him to go to war by attacking surface warships. That's the distance, for the speed of the plane, it's time for a cup of coffee.

When the Germans forced him to go to war, it was Xu Zhonglin's turn to be embarrassed, who let him not get the British information? And who made his aircraft carriers relatively small? Who let all the shipwives under his command be on the sea? He didn't know how many follow-up groups the other party had, and now he just wanted to delay time and let his ship mother go ashore.

"Change direction from a long distance and go south to Hoy Island to take refuge."

Hoy Island is about the same size as Westerray Island, but it is relatively small, and below Meenland Island, the strait between the two islands is Scapa Bay's main waterway into the Atlantic Ocean. There's no way to let some of the ship's mothers go to avoid the bombing. This time the Germans came with more than 300 planes, and the air superiority was too great.

Cato also knew the urgency of the situation: "I'm going to contact the British and French, hoping they will help us." ”

I hope so.

Xu Zhonglin felt a deep sense of powerlessness, with his current belongings, it was still too reluctant to fight against a country, and the two sides were not on the same order of magnitude at all.
