392. Prepare for air raids
The U.S. Admiral's Office contacted the Emperor's Military Aircraft Office, urging the Emperor to issue a decree and contact other Admiral's Offices, trying to mobilize an encirclement and suppression fleet as quickly as possible.
But the British Admiral of Listening to Wind Island didn't think so.
The Nanchang fleet now directly threatens to warn its own Admiralty.
The consequences of ignoring the warnings have already been endured once before.
Almost all of his main forces were captured, and less than half an hour had passed.
The other party will really attack directly.
So the British admiral shouted to the American admiral:
"Yes, yes, it's our common enemy, but now that the countdown is 40 minutes, tell me, where are the other Admiral's fleets now, and when will they arrive?"
The American Admiral was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly:
"I'm really speechless, they said they would attack in an hour, and you really believed it?
"You use your brain to think! The previous battle took place at the Anping Admiral's Mansion, and the place where our fleet surrendered was also only 30 kilometers outside the Anping Admiral's Mansion.
"The Anping Admiral's Mansion is nearly 300 kilometers away from the military port of Tingfeng Island, and when their battleship fleet arrives here, it will already be tomorrow morning.
"And the reinforcements we have gathered, as long as they depart now and come by air, they can arrive before dawn within 1,500 kilometers, and it is not clear who will surrender to whom at that time!
"Besides, let you surrender, do you really think about whether to surrender or not? You can make false demands on the other side, and if you surrender, ask the other party for what treatment.
"Mention some conditions at length, let them reply one by one, and slowly consume it!"
The British admiral suddenly came to his senses, and immediately asked his subordinates to sort out some requirements, claiming that he could surrender, but there were conditions.
The Nanchang fleet needs to ensure that its existing living conditions and treatment will not be affected, and that its subordinate fleet will not be dismantled.
Aoba is now using a helicopter to send the battleships, cruisers, and destroyers in the fleet to the bay outside the Admiral's Mansion on Listening Wind Island.
The Qingyu fleet was not close to the Anping Admiral's Mansion in the first place, and it was less than 200 kilometers away from the Admiral's Mansion on Tingfeng Island.
40 minutes was enough to send them to the Admiral's Mansion about 50 kilometers away from Tingfeng Island.
The emperor in the palace, the minister of military aircraft, has a similar way of thinking to the American admiral.
When the Nanchang fleet issued a warning asking for the surrender of Tingfeng Island, and began to broadcast the problems of the Admiralty and the Imperial Mode, and publicized the headquarters, it was known that the two sides would be fighting endlessly in the future.
The emperor almost did not hesitate to issue an order immediately, asking all the Admiral's Mansions to rush to Tingfeng Island as quickly as possible, and must not let the Nanchang fleet attack and occupy Tingfeng Island again.
Naturally, all this information was deciphered and forwarded to the data chain of Mufeng Jianniang.
The various requests made by the British Admiral also reached Qingyu at about the same time.
Qing Yu forwarded the radio to Liaoning and Shenzhen, and Shenzhen roughly glanced at it:
"She's a lion's mouth, and we can't agree to some conditions."
Liaoning didn't look at it, and replied directly:
"Reply to him, after he surrenders, we will give him fair treatment as a prisoner, ensure his personal safety, and ensure that he will not be insulted and abused.
"His own contracted ship mother will keep it, but the free ship mother who was originally under the wind island, and the whereabouts of the other commanders and the ship mother have nothing to do with him.
"After the education and transformation, he can choose to join our headquarters and become an ordinary commander, enjoying the treatment that a commander of the corresponding level should have.
"You can also choose to go to the British headquarters, and we will send him there, so he doesn't need to worry.
"Remind him that this is not a condition, but a normal treatment that we would normally give, and he can only accept it or not, and there is no room for negotiation.
"This guy is just stalling for time, don't pay too much attention to what he says."
"Understood."
Qing Yu agreed, sent the meaning of Liaoning back to the Governor's Mansion of Tingfeng Island, and finally added a sentence:
"There are 30 minutes and 59 seconds left in the countdown."
Listening to Admiral Kazeshima, listening to the explanations and warnings that were still playing on the radio, holding the telegram reply sent back by Qing Yu, looking at the words on it, his face slowly darkened.
Although the negotiation was just a temptation, the Admiral of Listening to Kazeshima instinctively thought that if a prince like himself was willing to surrender, the other party would have to give him a distinguished official position, or even a knighthood.
As a result, the other party did not take his current identity and status in his eyes at all, and the other party put himself, the admiral, in the same position as ordinary people.
The American Admiral of Xuelang Bay took the telegram in the hand of the Admiral of Listening to Wind Island, frowned and muttered:
"The treatment of captives guarantees their safety and freedom from humiliation and ill-treatment...... There is no room for negotiation except to accept or not to accept......
"Huh...... Scold...... This is too much to see! I want to see now, what can they do to us if you don't surrender?
"There's still half an hour left, and I want to see how they're going to attack us when the time is really up! Their fleet can't still fly! ”
At the same time, Liaoning is telling Qingyu:
"Listen to the ordinary ship girls in Wind Island, those consultation messages sent by you, let the people below you reply well, and persuade them to surrender, it should be effective.
"At the same time, they are specially reminded that the attack is about to begin, and let them lead ordinary humans to pay attention to dodge."
Qing Yu nodded in agreement and gave his fleet a battle order.
For almost half an hour, the radio broadcast continued, and the scripts written by Shenzhen kept playing on a loop.
Listening to the subordinate commanders of Wind Island and their ship mothers, more of them are free ship girls, when they listened to it for the first time, they became curious and a little impatient.
After listening to it several times, more and more people couldn't help but send radio inquiries to confirm whether the content of the broadcast was true and ask for some details.
More than 30 ship girls of Qingyu's subordinate fleet, while sorting out, replied in the form of broadcast.
After each reply, it will be followed by the following sentence:
"For the attack on the military port of Tingfeng Island, it will start in half a 30 minutes, please pay attention to dodge, it is best to disperse to the sea in advance."
At the same time, under the leadership of Qing Yu, the fleet's three large aircraft carriers and two light aircraft carriers unfolded their hulls at the same time and began to fly aircraft.
It is a very dangerous thing for World War II aircraft carriers to take off and land at night.
On the second day of the Battle of the Marianas, the US carrier-based aircraft set off in the afternoon, and when they returned, it was already evening.
As a result, the U.S. military lost only 20 planes in the battle with the Japanese aircraft carriers that day, but after the battle, it lost 72 planes when it landed at night.
Throughout World War II, aircraft carriers took off and landed aircraft at night, either as an adventure or as a last resort, rather than the conventional combat method of aircraft carriers.
It was not until the 50s, during the Korean War, that night take-off and landing was finally established as a regular training subject for aircraft carriers, after various radars and guidance equipment were gradually perfected and technology was accumulated sufficiently.
Qingyu's fleet, thanks to perfect modern technical support, it is not difficult to take off and land at night.
One after another, planes took off from five aircraft carriers, and eventually formed a large fleet of more than 300 planes, flying to Tingfeng Island, 200 kilometers away.
