With Nagumo's order, the Japanese Air Force, which was fighting fiercely with the Datang Air Force by virtue of its numerical superiority, began to cover alternately and withdraw from the battle in an orderly manner. Seeing that the other party had the intention of retreating, although Datang's fighter made a posture of pursuit, it did not chase and fight, but followed the opponent at a certain distance.

After all, the difference in numbers is there, and the performance advantage of one's own fighters has not been overwhelming. Therefore, when the tactical goal was only to "expel and not annihilate", the Northern Fleet decisively took it when it saw it, and stopped the pursuit after driving the opponent out of the wall of the field.

The commander of the detachment believes that this is not the time to prematurely reveal the capabilities of his fighters to fly in space.

In this way, this encounter between aircraft carrier formations ended with only single-digit casualties on both sides. The Northern Fleet lost 4 fighters and damaged 17 aircraft, shot down 5 enemy planes and damaged 15 aircraft. This result seems to be evenly divided, but the Northern Fleet achieved it when it was at a disadvantage, so it can be said that it is superior in technology!

The fly in the ointment is that this encounter is too inconspicuous!

After learning that a Japanese aircraft carrier formation had infiltrated Jupiter, the Tang Army's front-line command only strengthened the defense of key areas, and did not pay enough attention to aircraft carriers, a new type of warship. When the "front finger" could not mobilize enough troops to return to the front line, he simply asked the aircraft carrier detachment that took the initiative to help assist in the defense.

The other side transferred six second-class destroyers to the aircraft carrier detachment and put them in charge of dealing with these Japanese aircraft carriers that were carrying out sneak attacks behind enemy lines...... Professional counterpart!

At the same time, on the other side, after Nagumo ran back with the fleet in a gray manner, although Yamamoto was not embarrassed to scold him, he didn't give him a good look. After transferring two more Myo-level heavy cruisers to the other side, Yamamoto asked Nagumo's fleet to replenish the equipment and supplies, and then go to Jupiter again.

So when the main forces on both sides were stationary, a similar "whack-a-mole" drama was being staged on Jupiter in the rear. The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet infiltrated Jupiter again and again. Then they were driven out again and again by the northern aircraft carrier detachment that rushed to hear the news, but it also accumulated a lot of combat experience in aircraft carrier confrontation for both sides.

If the war does not have a sudden situation at the beginning, then it will be difficult to solve it quickly!

At present, the people in the Tang Dynasty still have a kind of blind optimism about this war, and they do not know how embarrassing the situation of the two fleets of the West Wind and the Far East is on the front line. Some people even naively believe that if they only fight a small Japan, any of the six fleets can easily defeat the combined fleet, and they don't take it seriously at all.

But also thanks to this blind optimism, the feelings of the people in Datang are simply unscientific!

Time flies unnoticed, and August is coming to an end in the blink of an eye, Zhao Jian went to Jupiter with the admission letter of the Naval Academy and all the belongings on this side of the earth. Compared to the average incoming naval cadets. The biggest difference between Zhao Jian and them is that he already has his own warship before school starts, and there is more than one.

A week ago, Zhao had just received two refurbished Canalias-class heavy cruisers from the shipyard. The designated repair shop of the Northern Fleet said that it could be repaired for you in a month, and it was guaranteed that it would not be late for even a day! When Zhao Jian went to pick up the ship, the dock foreman even excitedly told Zhao Jian that the guys in their group had broken the record again, and they dared to show that these repairmen were still fighting for speed!

Fortunately, the two heavy cruisers have to be driven back to the maintenance station and handed over to the system for further upgrades and strengthening. Therefore, Zhao Jian didn't care whether these guys fooled themselves or not, and said, "I don't have to worry about your work", and happily took the hull away.

When he left the Zhao family's mansion, Zhao Jian moved almost everything that could be removed from the house. He took advantage of the fact that the land price on Jupiter's side had not been speculated, so he purchased a good place near the mountains and rivers in the planning area of "New Qingdao City" in advance, and built a Zhao Mansion there, and expanded it on this basis.

Left the mansion of Zhao Jian, where he had lived for 9 years. Zhao Jian knew that he was leaving, and he would never see this place again in the future. The earth has now entered a period of high earthquake incidence on a global scale, and many people have a premonition that these natural phenomena and government actions are ominous. The wave of immigration began to intensify because of the unease caused by the rumours.

If nothing else, Zhao Jian felt that in 6 months at most, the Tang government, which had made all the preparations, would officially disclose the news, and wait until that time to leave, but it would not be as chic as it is now. Besides, the school is about to open, and the deadline for reporting is only a few days away.

Originally, if Zhao Jian was going to study at the Naval Academy, Masako Yamamoto should be able to become a classmate with him, but unfortunately, after the outbreak of the Tang-Japanese War, Masako was personally picked up by Hirohito. After that, Zhao Jian sent two more letters to ask her if she was okay, and the other party replied that she had been sent to the Jiangtadao Naval Academy by her father.

Masako also prayed in the letter that this erroneous war would end peacefully as soon as possible, and she did not want to wait until the day she graduated in the future to meet her former friend again as an enemy on the battlefield.

All right! As soon as she said this, Zhao Jian suddenly had a little expectation!

Female soldiers are not miserable, just thinking about it is very emotional! Is there wood?

Once ready, Zhao's fleet lifted off to Jupiter, where he gathered all the spaceships he could get to the surface, and purchased a batch of grain at his own expense to transport to his new home. 6 small cargo ships of 3,000 tons, 1 large cargo ship of 38,000 tons and 2 escort heavy cruisers of 10,000 tons, a total of 9 spaceships.

Among the passengers on the ship, in addition to Zhao Jian's own mercenaries, the intelligence officers of the agent in Qingdao and several neighboring cities also followed this hitchhike to Jupiter. These agents are specialized in dealing with internal affairs, and Zhao Jian learned two important pieces of information during his conversation with the director of the Intelligence Analysis Division!

"The fourth prince and the seventh prince are not dead?"

"That's right! After four autopsies, we finally confirmed that it was the stand-in of the Four Princes who died in the assassination. At the same time, there is intelligence that the forces that originally belonged to the four princes have also fled abroad and merged with foreign forces. As for the Seven Princes...... His situation is a little more complicated! ”

"What's a complicated law?"

"Among the six princes of the year, the seventh prince had the strongest desire to conquer, and his words and deeds were also wild and uninhibited. Some Western journalists who interviewed him even compared him to the Napoleon of the East, so the prince, who belonged to the moderate faction at the time, designed to capture him and put him under house arrest. But in this operation to eliminate the king, we found that the Seventh Prince had escaped more than ten years ago, and if it wasn't for our raid on that place of house arrest, we wouldn't even know it until now. ”

"If you look at it this way, this Seventh Lord must be very DIO! Belch...... Director Xu, if you tell me this, will it ......?"

"You guessed it, Boss Dai really wants you to track down these two princes. Go for it, boy! I'm optimistic about you! (To be continued......)
