Mu Feng saw through the field of vision of the early warning aircraft in Guangdong that there was an archipelago more than 1,500 kilometers to the southwest.

These islands are large and small, fragmented, very numerous and spread over a wide area.

The current AWACS aircraft can only observe part of it, and it is not known where the edge of the archipelago is, nor what the total number of islands is.

These islands are dotted with ports, towns, and villages.

There are constantly all kinds of boats coming in and out of the pier, shuttling between the various islands and docks.

In this sea, there is a busy scene everywhere, and the level of development of the whole society is much higher than that of the Royal Navy.

There does not seem to be a threat from the deep sea here,

Guangdong said to Mu Feng: "Commander, this is the largest archipelago we have discovered since we went to sea, and it is the first archipelago with a large number of human beings and ship mothers living in it.

"The direction of the Nagato fleet is also pointing to this place, and if nothing else, this should be the location of the IJN headquarters."

Mu Feng thought for a moment: "Well, it should be right here, let the mothership speed up, and it should be able to dock at noon tomorrow."

"Guangdong, Liaoning, you two use early warning planes to take turns to reconnoitre, find out the situation in the sea area here, and prepare for radio contact."

"Understood!" The two of them agreed, and immediately got busy, trying to use a special radio band to send radio messages encrypted by a special method.

If Mu Feng wants to find the IJN headquarters, he must first confirm whether there is a deep-sea outbreak here, whether there is a deep-sea flagship, and whether there is any news from other commands.

If there is no deep sea, then give Zeppelin's letter to Akagi and continue to confirm the situation of the USN.

There are a lot of them in Akagi, so of course I don't just find a random Akagi and hand over the letter.

The word Akagi is the name of the original battleship, and this name is equivalent to a family name for the ship's mother, similar to a human surname.

In addition to the name of the original ship, ordinary ship girls also have their own name.

Most of the name of the free ship girl was taken by herself, and most of the contract ship girls were taken by her own commander.

The surname plus the first name is the full name, and the full name will be registered in the identity information of the headquarters, and the full name of the Japanese ship mother may be like this:

"Miyuki Akagi".

"Nagato has C".

"Kira Yamato (fog)".

European and American ship mothers, they may add the name of the original battleship level to the full name, plus the name of the commander, and then it becomes such a big list:

"Sister-in-law Saratoga Lexington Steelegg".

Steel Egg is the commander's name, Lexington is the family name, Saratoga is the family name, and sister-in-law is the ship's maiden name given by the commander.

The name is too long, so it is often shortened to something like this:

"Sister-in-law · S· L. Steel Egg".

Some commands will remind that in order to make the full name of their ship mother more normal, please ask the majority of commanders to be careful when naming themselves and their ship mothers, and the following examples are for reference only:

"Emilia Saratoga Lexington Astolford".

"Barbara M. Z. Fredrica Lockheed".

However, these long lists of names are all the names of ordinary ship girls, and some special ship girls only have surnames, because her name is the surname of the whole family.

The ship's mother Mu Feng is looking for is the one whose name is only two words, the patriarch of the Akagi family.

Zeppelin provided a special means of communication, this radio frequency band and encryption method, only Zeppelin and Akagi knew about it.

Now Liaoning is broadcasting information in this way, and if Akagi can receive it, there should be a reply.

However, the two sides are still far away, and this method of communication has not been used for many years.

Whether Akagi can still remember it, whether he can react at the first time, is not entirely sure.

For the time being, it can only be repeated over and over again.

At the same time, although Yamashita Shunsuke never found Mu Feng's fleet, he gradually recovered his spirits, because he knew better than Mu Feng that his hard journey was finally coming to an end and he was finally going back to the headquarters.

Returning to the command on their own, the fleet will be able to restore combat effectiveness.

The key is that the information you bring back will definitely be valued by the base camp, and this reward will at least get a free construction opportunity.

It is not impossible to move up the ranks and ranks of the fleet to another level.

Thinking of his future prospects, Shunsuke Yamashita was in a slightly better mood, and asked Fuso to send a telegram to the headquarters, reporting the news of his return, explaining his condition, and hoping that the headquarters would arrange for someone to pick him up.

Yamashita Shunsuke's telegram was sent to a specific person, so a reply was received quickly, and the headquarters would arrange for someone to pick it up as soon as possible to reassure Yamashita Shunsuke.

Time passed slowly, and it slowly came to noon.

In the core of the IJN headquarters headquarters, in a comfortable Japanese garden, two elders of the IJN, Akagi and Kaga, gathered for tea.

Kaga poured a cup of tea for Akagi: "The fleet that went to the north to explore has returned, saying that it has brought very important information that will ease tensions within the headquarters.

"However, because of the long journey, this commander's own fleet has suffered quite heavy losses, saying that it is almost impossible to hold on to the headquarters, and I want to arrange for people to pick her up."

"Hmm." Akagi nodded slightly and took a sip of tea, "Then have you arranged it?" ”

Kaga nodded, "The two fleets will depart this afternoon." ”

"That's good." Akagi turned his head to look at the bamboo forest outside the window, "I'm always restless today......"

"Restless." Kaga sighed, "You don't have to worry too much, the affairs of the headquarters are not your business alone, and you don't need to take it all on yourself." ”

"It's not ......" Akagi put down his teacup, slowly got up, and stood under the eaves, "It's not a matter of the headquarters, it's a strange radio wave."

"It's a complete garbled code, and I can't hear it intermittently, but I always feel that it has something to do with me."

When Akagi said this, he suddenly reached out and pressed his forehead:

"Again, what the hell does that mean...... Wait a minute...... This...... This...... How could it be ......"

Akagi muttered, his expression suddenly changed, and then he ran out like crazy.

Kaga looked at Akagi's reaction, and was very surprised, and hurriedly jumped up and chased out:

"What's wrong with you, Akagi? Wait for me ......"

Akagi completely ignored Kaga behind him, went all the way to the dock, directly unfolded the hull, turned on the equipment on the hull, and carefully listened to the radio waves.

Akagi watched as he received the complete radio message, his eyes widened, and he stared at the information for a long time, and finally confirmed that he was not mistaken.

Akagi immediately checked his memory, tossed for more than an hour, and finally found the correct way to parse the true content of the radio wave.

Akagi immediately replied in the agreed way, after coding: "Zeppelin, are you here?" What are you doing here? Where are you? ”

Liaoning, who was already waiting a little impatiently, immediately replied: "I'm not Zeppelin, but I brought Zeppelin's message and something to you."

"We expect to arrive at your headquarters tomorrow at noon, oh yes, remember to leave us a relatively large fixed space on the dock."

Akagi was stunned for a moment: "How old?" ”

Guangdong replied: "100,000 tons, 340 meters in length, 12 meters in draft." ”
