Seeing Liaoning's reply, Akagi didn't turn a corner for a moment.

"100,000 tons? 340 meters? Is this the hull of the ship's mother, or a cruise ship? Or a freighter? ”

But whether it is the hull of the ship, or the cruise ship or the freighter, it has never been so big.

During World War II, the largest displacement was the Yamato-class, with a full load displacement of 72,000 tons and a length of 263 meters, and the longest hull was the Iowa class, with a length of 270 meters.

The largest cruise ships in history during World War II were the British Queen Mary and the French Normandy, both with a displacement of more than 80,000 tons and a length of more than 304 meters.

These are the largest cruise ships built on the planet from the industrial base of World War II.

And in this ocean archipelago world, the ship mother and the Yamato-class monster of 70,000 tons, cruise ships, cargo ships, 50,000 tons of memory have not been seen yet!

A hundred thousand tons jumped out at once, and Akagi was really taken aback.

Liaoning quickly replied: "It's a cruise ship, and we can only come here on this 100,000-ton armored cruise ship." ”

"Cruise ......" Akagi was stunned for a moment, "This is also too big, the length is 340, the draft is 12 meters, and the berth of the Yamato-class is also a lot shorter...... Even if it's big enough......"

The ship mother docks differently from ordinary ships, and generally ships do not need special berths, they all glide on the water surface to the open sea and then unfold the hull, and when they return to port, they first turn into a human shape and then dock.

Even if the hull is docked, there is no need to anchor, no cable fixing, and no cushion to prevent collisions.

Although there are special berths for more than a dozen Yamato-class ships in the headquarters, there are no such supporting facilities on the berths, just an exclusive area with a large enough area and deep enough water.

Akagi thought for a while: "We don't have a berth suitable for 100,000-ton cruise ships here, you can first go to the outside of the special berth of the Yamato-class to drop anchor, let your crew go ashore to rest, I will let people install supporting docking facilities as soon as possible, and let your cruise ship ......dock as soon as possible."

In Akagi's view, a cruise ship of more than 100,000 tons must have at least a thousand crew members.

They came from the other side of the world, through the dangerous ocean, to this side of the world, and the crew must have reached the limit of their endurance.

The voyage lasted at least a month, if not more than two months, and the ship's supplies must have been almost exhausted, and the living conditions must have become quite bad.

That's why Akagi thought about letting the people on the boat go ashore to rest first, and then think about other things.

However, it was not what she thought.

Liaoning replied directly: "We weren't going to stay here, we won't dock if we don't have a suitable berth, you come to our ship, we'll give you something, and by the way, consult something and leave." ”

When Chicheng saw Liaoning's reply, he felt even more incredible: "Isn't your route destination our headquarters?" If you don't dock, what about supplies? I'll give it to you in a dinghy! ”

Liaoning replied directly: "The supply is not needed for the time being, other things are too troublesome to explain, wait until we meet, and then explain in detail, and give you Zeppelin's things and letters, and you will basically understand." ”

Akagi had a lot of questions on his mind, but it was really inconvenient to communicate with the radio now, and it had been so long that he didn't care about waiting another day.

Akagi suppressed the curiosity in his heart and proposed to arrange a fleet to meet the escort, but Liaoning directly refused, his own safety was not a problem, and there was no need for extra escort ships.

Then the two sides agreed on the time and place of tomorrow's meeting, suspended communication, and dealt with the things around them.

For Mu Feng and his ship's girls, they are about to arrive at the IJN Headquarters, and the life and rest on the mothership have basically not changed, because the IJN Command is not the end of their journey.

Starting in the morning, the early warning planes of Guangdong and Liaoning took turns to observe the environment of the IJN Command, and the distance between the two sides continued to shorten as the mothership continued to advance.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two fleets sent by Kaga to pick up Yamashita Shunsuke left the port and sailed north at a speed of 30 knots.

Liaoning guessed that the two fleets were going to pick up the Yamashita Shunsuke fleet, and the two sides were basically on the same route, in opposite directions, and if they sailed normally, the two sides would meet around the early hours of tomorrow morning. ，

Liaoning didn't want to deal with them, and didn't want to disturb Mu Feng's rest in the middle of the night, so he asked the mothership to adjust the direction of the voyage slightly, and staggered by 200 kilometers from the other party.

At six o'clock the next morning, Shunsuke Yamashita specially changed the command ship back to Nagato, which was in the best condition, confirmed the identity of the two fleets that came to pick him up, and returned to the headquarters together.

The commanders of the other two fleets, with two or three of their own shipwives and the resources sent by the headquarters, boarded the commander of Shunsuke Yamashita.

As soon as the two sides met, from the beginning of the introduction to each other, the two commanders complimented Shunsuke Yamashita constantly.

50% of the commanders of the command are first-level and have 1 to 6 contracted ships, and 25% of the commanders are second-level and have 7 to 12 carriers.

Shunsuke Yamashita is a third-class fleet commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel and has 16 contract ships.

Purely in terms of the number of ships he owns, he has already exceeded 80% of the commanders of the entire headquarters.

And the distribution of his ship girl type is also very reasonable.

With two large fleet carriers, two battleships, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, six destroyers, and the strongest Nagato in the IJN command except for the Yamato-class.

There are only a dozen Yamato-class in the entire headquarters, and almost all of them are free ships, and the battleships owned by the commander, the strongest is basically Nagato.

In particular, both commanders have heard the news that Shunsuke Yamashita has a very important mission this time, and it has been successful, and there will be rewards and promotions when they go back.

So they all came to curry favor with Shunsuke Yamashita in advance.

A commander said with a smile: "Yamashita-kun has returned safely from this northern expedition, and after returning to the core, not to mention the rewards of core and resources, the rank will be at least to colonel!" ”

The other retorted with a serious face: "Not to mention the colonel, I heard that this mission is very important, and with this seniority, it is only a matter of time before I am promoted to the rank of general!" ”

The two sang and harmonized, and the tacit understanding made Yamashita Shunsuke feel very comfortable to listen to, and the nest qi he suffered from Mu Feng and his ship mother a few days ago dissipated a lot.

Shunsuke Yamashita said with a smile: "Thank you very much for being able to come and pick me up, I will treat you after I go back, by the way, the two of you came from the headquarters, have you met a fleet under the flag of the Chinese Navy?" ”

"The Chinese Navy?" The two commanders glanced at each other and shook their heads together, "No, we haven't encountered any other fleet ...... along the way."

Yamashita Shunsuke nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "In this way, their fleet must still be behind me, so can you trouble the two of you." ”

The two commanders hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Yamashita-kun, tell me about it." ”

Yamashita Shunsuke smiled: "The matter is also very simple, the two ports where they are stationed are at the end of this route, and if a foreign fleet arrives, it should dock at your port."

"So I want to ask the two of you to help keep an eye on it, to see if the fleet entering the port is from the Chinese Navy Command, and if there is a ship named Liaoning."

The two felt that this matter was simple, and they could sell Shunsuke Yamashita a favor, so they immediately agreed.

Both of these people deliberately complimented Shunsuke Yamashita, and Shunsuke Yamashita has been floating at sea for many days, and the relationship with his ship mother is not harmonious, and he hasn't talked to anyone for a long time, so the three of them "want to talk very happily".

Shunsuke Yamashita chatted with the two of them in the reception room for almost two hours, and only then did he remember to give the resources they sent to his ship's wife after being reminded by the secretary ship of the other two commanders.

Shunsuke Yamashita carried two boxes of resources in his hand and walked to the cabin where his ship's ladies usually rested:

"Okay, you don't have to keep a straight face one by one, the resources are here, let's replenish them first, and when you arrive at your home port tomorrow, you will be able to treat the injuries on your body."

"Thank you, Commander."

Fuso and Akagi said thank you, but Kaga didn't say anything, picked up the resources and stuffed them into his mouth.

Kaohsiung distributed the resources to other cruisers and destroyers, and they were already hungry, huddled together like stray cats, gobbling them up and sending them to their mouths.

Shunsuke Yamashita looked at this picture and was a little unhappy in his heart:

"Can you eat slowly? Can you pay attention to the image? ”

The ship girl and the commander are heart-to-heart, and when Yamashita Shunsuke said this, the ship girls could feel Yamashita Shunsuke's disgust for themselves and understand that he didn't like what he was like now.

Several destroyers hurriedly sat up straight, taking the material cube and sending it into their mouths in small bites.

Kaga, who has a more irritable personality, turned his head sharply and glared at Shunsuke Yamashita fiercely:

"I'm just in a better mood, and you've ruined it again, my commander, can I trouble you to go to the post you should be in?"

Shunsuke Yamashita was stared at by Kaga, and subconsciously shuddered: "I won't talk nonsense with you, you eat slowly, I'll leave first, there are still guests outside." ”

Watching Shunsuke Yamashita leave the room, Kaga stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and shouted to the other shipwives:

"You look at his appearance, and pay attention to the image? Watch out for whom! Pretend all day long, don't look at it if you don't like it! Why are we the way we are, doesn't he know in his own heart? ”

"That's it! You don't have to say a word! Akagi took an energy drink and stuffed it into Kaga's mouth, which was also kind of gagged her, "He's like that, it's useless for you to say it." ”

…………

A few wounded and hungry ship girls snatched food like stray cats.

If the same situation happened in front of Mu Feng or other earthlings, everyone's first reaction was basically that they felt pitiful and distressed, and then they would want to protect them.

However, the vast majority of the natives of this world have completely different psychology.

This strange creature that came out of the construction equipment, or was born in the sea, and was born in the sea, made these ordinary people have a subconscious vigilance.

It's easy to think of them as machines, tools, or at least they're not human, they're strange and dangerous creatures that the native humans can't understand.

The ship's mother can feel the inner feelings of her own commander, whether she really likes it, or uses it as a tool, and she can also faintly perceive the attitude of ordinary people towards herself, whether she likes it or is vigilant.

For a long time, the ship's mother who has been in contact with Mu Feng has a very good impression of him, and there is a reason, in the ship's mother's cognition, Mu Feng, a human being, is definitely an outlier.

The ship girls don't know why Mu Feng likes herself unreservedly, but as long as it can be confirmed that this kind of liking is not fake, it is enough.

…………

At the same time, the sky and the sea were not bright, and Mu Feng was sleeping in Zhengxiang, faintly heard the sound of some fighter engines whistling, woke up in a daze, and listened attentively, there was no sound of battle outside.

Mu Feng interrogated through the psychic and asked: "Liaoning, Guangdong, are you two flying planes?" Is there something special about it? Is there anything I need to do? ”

Liaoning immediately said: "I'm sorry commander, our plane is noisy with you, I think that we are about to arrive at the IJN headquarters, and because the distance is just right now."

"Out of prudence, Guangdong and I have released all the AWACS aircraft and fighters, and once again conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance of the entire IJN Islands, there are no accidents, commander, you continue to sleep."

"That's hard work for you two...... Mu Feng said, cut off the communication, came back to his senses, and looked at Changchun, who was sleeping on her chest, she didn't seem to be woken up by the plane.

Looking at the girl's tender red face, Mu Feng showed a doting smile on his face, stretched out his fingers, gently and slowly rubbed on her face, and then hugged her body and continued to sleep.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Mu Feng was a little reluctant to get up with Changchun and go to the restaurant to eat together.

At the same time, the planes of Guangdong and Liaoning came back one after another, basically figured out the situation of the entire island, and drew a map of the IJN headquarters.

The total land area of all the islands in the entire sea area is about 200,000 square kilometers, which is basically the same as the two provinces and one city in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

However, these 200,000 square kilometers are divided into more than 100 islands, large and small, scattered in a sea area 1,000 kilometers long and 600 kilometers wide.

The largest of these islands is only about the size of Kyushu, and the smallest ones are only reefs.

Most of the larger islands are not flat, there are many mountains and volcanoes, and there are not many places suitable for human life.

Now the mother ship is only 200 km from the IJN Islands.

Out of the consideration of deterring Xiaoxiao and avoiding unnecessary low-level harassment and trouble, Liaoning proposed that Mu Feng let the entire fleet spread out a formation on the sea and advance together.

Mu Feng asked the opinion of the ship girls, and agreed without any objection.

So after breakfast, except for Yiwu, Yixian, and Xiao 22, whose hulls were too small and not suitable for ocean combat, the other shipwives unfolded their hulls on the sea one after another.

Everyone formed a relatively compact formation and marched together at a speed of 35 knots.

As a nuclear submarine, Little Sixteen has to stand at the front of the entire fleet, but he can move freely.

First row: ......... Nanchang, Changchun.

Second row: ......... Liaoning, Guangdong.

Third row: Crimson, Hulun, Thousand Islands, Frost.

Middle row: ............ Ocean-going carriers.

Fourth row: Shenzhen, Heping, Kunlun, Chongqing.

Fifth row: Lanzhou, Sky Wolf, Sea King, Taiyuan.

After the fleet was deployed, Liaoning and Guangdong released fighter planes and early warning planes to patrol the sky.

Then they had another encrypted communication with Akagi, informing each other of their locations and confirming the time of the rendezvous.

After communicating with Liaoning yesterday, Akagi left the base camp with a fleet of cronies and arrived at a port in the northwestern part of the IJN Islands in the evening.

Akagi stayed here for the night, and the next morning he took his people to the dock and waited.

Now that the location of the Liaoning fleet was finally confirmed, Akagi immediately went out to sea with his own fleet to meet him.

Akagi instinctively thought that the Liaoning fleet had traveled at least 20,000 kilometers long distance, and now it must be in a very poor state, most of which are scarred, so he specially brought supply ships and a large number of resources out.

After arriving on the ocean, Akagi immediately released his reconnaissance plane and searched for the direction given by Liaoning.
