"It's Coral Island. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yang Lei corrected.

Looking at Yang Lei's serious appearance, Lieutenant General Mitchell couldn't help but thoughtfully lit the cigarette in his mouth, just took a puff, and coughed violently, and after calming down, he gave Yang Lei an approving look and nodded.

As the largest sea in the world, the Coral Sea is worthy of its name in the Federation, which is located in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean, with a total area of nearly 4.8 million square kilometers, equivalent to half of the total land area of China, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Tasman Sea in the south, and the Solomon Sea in the north.

This is due to the geographical location and environment, but from a strategic point of view, the Coral Sea is not an ideal naval garrison, because it is not only home to the world's largest coral body, but also most of the reefs hidden underwater, which is also an obstacle to transportation.

Think about it, the main investment of the Japanese Navy in the Pacific incident is undoubtedly the self-defense fleet that is enough to crush any empire, but if the plan is disrupted by the reef under the sea, then it will not be ridiculed by all countries.

"There is nothing that the enemy cannot do, only what we can't imagine." Yang Lei explained: "There is a good saying in the country of China, the more dangerous the place, the safer, I think the general must have heard of it, you might as well think about it carefully, why the fleet of the Japanese slave navy is always elusive, can take advantage of our unpreparedness, surprise repeated sneak attacks, a large part of the factors are due to our inability to grasp their action rules and routes......

Under Yang Lei's slow elaboration, Lieutenant General Mitchell unconsciously took two more puffs of the cigarette in his hand and said: "I have already thought about it, but I was not sure before you said this, but now it seems that there is indeed a big suspicion in the Coral Sea." ”

"Have our troops ever conducted any maritime reconnaissance around Coral Island?" Yang Lei asked.

Shaking his head, Lieutenant General Mitchell replied, "No." ”

"Out of this area, have we searched other seas?"

"Yes, these days, in addition to the necessary defenses required in the harbor, our fleet has run almost all over the entire Pacific theater of operations." Mitchell said confidently, but then became discouraged and continued, "Except for the Coral Sea." ”

"That's it!" Yang Lei took the baton in his hand and drew a circle around the Coral Sea on the sand table, and said firmly: "The enemy hides under our noses, but we only look at the distance, which is why every time the Japanese fleet is able to escape smoothly after a successful sneak attack." ”

"Now, we're going to conduct a close search of this area?" With a long sigh of relief, the most inexplicable problem that had been haunting Mitchell's mind all day long finally seemed to be resolved, and his frown was immediately relieved.

However, Yang Lei said: "No." ”

As soon as these words came out, the former was puzzled again.

"At present, since we have initially identified the enemy's hiding place, I think we should follow the principle of not startling the snake, if the majority of the sea forces are sent to search, it will definitely attract the attention of the other side, and, as mentioned before, the large number of reefs in the Coral Sea is also a problem."

"What are you afraid of?" Lieutenant General Mitchell waved his hand and said with a sense of leadership: "If you meet and fight, is it difficult to run?" ”

Stretching out his index finger and shaking it gently, Yang Lei said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, since the Japanese slave navy dares to choose such a base where the terrain is unfavorable to them, it means that all kinds of emergency measures must be taken, so in the case that it is not easy to grasp their information, it is better to be careful to make the Wannian ship better." ”

Yang Lei is telling the truth, if this time alarms the Japanese slave military, the ghost knows where they will flee next time, although it is said that the federal combined fleet has the ability to never gain the upper hand in the event of a head-on conflict, but if the Japanese slave empire really chooses to fight guerrilla warfare at that time, then even if there are more ships, they can only be helpless and sigh.

Not to mention, the vastness of the Pacific Ocean is far beyond the reach of the fleets of the various empires that can be touched by gathering all their fleets, and taking a step back, even if the combined fleet of the Federation searches for the location of the enemy again, I am afraid that the rapidly changing battlefield will have already become a different picture.

"Therefore, we must not covet a temporary partial victory, but strive to kill with one blow!"

"Don't forget, we also have the help of the military commanders." Yang Lei looked at the veteran in front of him who was trying to think about the plan, showed a sly smile, and said, "Isn't their touchstone operation already launched?" If the military commanders really have the strength, I think it won't be long before news comes in, and then this can be used as a test of whether the other side is sincere in cooperating with us; if the information sent back is wrong, then it can only mean that they are deceiving us at all, and they just want to blindly contain us. ”

"Good!" When Lieutenant General Mitchell heard this, he couldn't hold back the ups and downs in his heart anymore, and stretched out a thumbs up to Yang Lei and praised: "This trick kills two birds with one stone is really wonderful, I now finally know why Old Man Nikolai is so optimistic about you." ”

"Since all the empires of the Federation have now chosen to stand on the united front, then Huaxia is naturally no exception, so this is just the duty of the lowly position, and it is not enough to worry about it." Yang Lei smiled faintly, and said lightly.

"You're right, but do you know what I'm most worried about?" Mitchell said to himself: "Today, I'm afraid it's the third day, according to the survey of the Astronomical and Meteorological Bureau......"

Yang Lei suddenly thought of what Old Wren said at the Congress that night, and said in amazement: "You mean, Typhoon No. 6?" ”

"That's right, I'm afraid of long nights and dreams." Lieutenant General Mitchell sighed and said, "Once Typhoon No. 6 lands on Earth, it will inevitably sweep through the entire Pacific Theater in a short period of time, and our progress and development will be greatly limited at that time. ”

"I hope their news will come sooner, up to before Typhoon No. 6......"

Just after Mitchell said this, both of them felt the ground tremble at the same time, and saw that the sand table on the table was quietly loosened due to the brief movement of the earth's crust, and at this point, an orderly quickly ran in, his face full of panic.

"Typhoon warning from the front, sir." With trembling hands, the orderly flew the materials in his hand to Mitchell.

After a cursory flip through it, the latter's eyes were full of disbelief.

"What is this, super typhoon? One of the windiest black storms in federal history? Throwing down the documents in his hand, Mitchell immediately walked out of the commanding envoy, followed by Yang Lei.

The two of them looked at it together, only to see that the sky over the originally calm waters of Pearl Harbor was covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning.

"The storm is coming......" (To be continued.) )
