Mu Feng's guess is actually very close to the truth.

After the USN's jet fighters matured, they won one victory after another in ordinary deep-sea battles, and the USN's ship girls were finally able to move from the inland sea to the ocean.

And this kind of behavior, from the very beginning, was an organized, large-scale collective action.

Resources, an almost omnipotent material, are never too much for the ship's society.

Relying on their strong industrial strength, they specially designed and built ocean-going exploration transport ships, organized large fleets to work together, found suitable colonies, and obtained more resources.

Ticonderoga's fleet is in charge of northeast exploration, and the commander of the fleet is Otilia Essex, the free ship from the Essex family.

The fleet consists of a number of freeship girls and several commanders, as well as their contract ship girls.

The fleet currently deployed at sea is only a part of the entire exploration fleet, and more fleet members take turns resting on two specially built ocean-going transport ships.

This exploration fleet of the USN is simply a gap between the nouveau riche and the homeless compared to the original IJN.

Early this morning, after the handover of the night watch, Essex, Ticonderoga, Independence, and Princeton, the four of them unfurled the hull and began a routine search.

Essex was responsible for the north-west, Ticonderoga was responsible for the north-east, and Independence and Princeton were responsible for the east and west directions of the fleet, respectively.

Ticonderoga's fleet was the first to discover the islands of the South Seas to the northeast.

This Ticonderoga commander, Julian Fox, was a white teenager with a thin build and messy blond hair.

After receiving the message, he immediately connected to Ticonderoga's vision.

Through the field of vision of the fighter jet, Fawkes looked at the necklace-like islands of the South Seas on the sea, and slowly opened his mouth wide with a look of surprise.

Fox blew on the curly hair that hung down to the tip of his nose:

"That island on the skyline, at least 5,000 square miles, is enough size, and there are ocean currents passing through it, which is a natural resource base!

"Let the little ones keep flying, gather the other directions, and we'll need to get the whole picture of the archipelago as soon as possible!"

Ticonderoga nodded in agreement, and immediately transferred the plane.

As Fawkes spoke, he had already begun to think about how he could get the most credit, and then how he would develop this place and how he would get the most benefits.

In any case, I was going to send it this time, and it was the right choice to come out.

At this time, Ticonderoga received a notice from the Liaoning early warning plane, and while being taken aback, he immediately transferred it to Fox, who was imagining the future.

Fawkes's expression froze suddenly, he had just found a good place, and he was happy, but he immediately learned that there was already an owner, and the mood gap between before and after was really uncomfortable.

The USN Command, as well as Fox himself, have considered how to deal with other commands, how to show their strength, and establish diplomatic relations that are beneficial to the USN.

It's just that Fox didn't expect to come across it so soon.

In particular, this way of "encountering" made Fox quite unhappy.

After a moment of silence at Fawkes, Ticonderoga received a second notice from Liaoning:

"Commander, this PLAN, they repeated the message just now, stating that this is their airspace, let us leave, how do we respond?"

Fox blew the hair on the tip of his nose again, let out a long sigh, and said weakly:

"Tell them who we are and where we come from, declare that we have no ill will, ask the other side about the location of the military port, and at the same time inform the commander of the fleet, apply for a docking and resupply, and conduct diplomatic activities......"

This was the most normal way to deal with it, and Ticonderoga immediately agreed, and began to edit the reply telegram.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Fawkes's mind, and he was stunned suddenly, and hurriedly shouted:

"Wait a minute, don't reply to them yet, and don't tell the commander."

Ticonderoga looked puzzled:

"Hey, why?"

Fawkes looked at the archipelago below through Ticonderoga's fighter jet's field of vision, and said with a dry smile:

"It's obviously a desert island with no one down here, and so far, we haven't seen any traces of military port facilities or the ship's fleet, so how did it become the territory of this so-called PLAN Command?

"Ignore their warnings, concentrate the group, continue to explore, and find the fleet and military port of this so-called PLAN, if there is no military port, then this archipelago cannot be considered theirs."

Ticonderoga hesitated, thinking it would be a conflict, but Fox insisted.

In addition, all along, the decision of his young commander was almost not missed, so Ticonderoga still did what Fawkes asked.

Fawkes himself walked around his room, thinking about the current situation.

"No man's sea, no man's desert island, inexplicable radio waves, it feels a little weird.

"The Ship Commandery, whether it is the IJN or the USN before the popularization of jet fighters, can only live in relatively closed and safe bays formed by large islands.

"In the past, the USN could only control the islands around the mainland at most, and there was no interest in small islands in the open ocean at all, and there was no idea of considering them as their own territory.

"Since PLAN has such a statement, it means that the other party's fleet must at least be able to operate in the ocean, and their technological level should have surpassed that of the IJN and is basically the same as that of the USN.

"The other party did not appear in Tikan's field of vision, but he had already discovered Tikan's search group, which shows that the other party's radar level is also not weak, and this time we must be more cautious."

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Ticonderoga received five warnings in succession, all of which Fawkes told her to ignore and let the fighter continue to fly north.

When the sixth radio came, Ticonderoga relayed to Fox:

"Commander, the radio message from PLAN has changed, from an announcement to a warning, telling us to leave their territory immediately or they will attack us.

"What should we do now? Do you want to respond to them, do you want to inform the commander? ”

Fawkes reached out and grabbed a strand of hair from his forehead, slowly writhing:

"Don't answer, don't report, the group turned and flew east, leaving four planes to keep the direction and speed and continue to move forward, waiting for the other side to come out and attack."

Ticonderoga was a little puzzled, and a little worried:

"This is tantamount to a provocation, why should we do it? Doesn't that anger them? ”

Fox grinned and blew his hair again:

"We are completely strangers to each other, and before meeting for the first time, before formal communication, we should test each other's strength and evaluate each other's scientific and technological level before deciding the way and attitude of communication.

"We have already shown our sincerity by letting the main fleet leave.

"Leaving a group of four fighters alone is equivalent to giving up a duel venue, and at the same time beckoning to the other party and saying, "Hey, man, if you want me to recognize your status, come and compare with me."

"If the other side can understand what we mean, accept our challenge, and send the same number of planes to fight one-on-one, no matter what the outcome of the competition is, it will be much easier to communicate in the future.

"If the other party doesn't understand what we mean, it may be more difficult to communicate later.

"Of course, the most troublesome thing is that the other party can understand, but they just don't want to understand."
