ACT424: International Friends

"Why did you come to the rescue of the Richelieu?"

This is the question of the vast majority of people around Zhao Jian after ordering the air force to make an emergency attack.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, as long as the fleets of Britain and France are not tearing on their own turf, then they can just watch silently, because this will not affect the interests of the ghost hunters at all. But Zhao Jian said that he should look at the long-term!

The British wanted to annihilate the French navy, mainly out of their own interests, and wanted to avoid Hitler getting this power and using it on their British heads, but this effect was tantamount to drinking water to quench their thirst!

In Zhao Jian's view, the British were obviously frightened by the fall of France, so they did this kind of brain-dead behavior of "rushing to the doctor in a hurry". With the ability of the "propaganda genius" Goebbels, the propaganda machine of Nazi Germany could have made a big fuss and successfully transferred the hatred of the French people to the British, so that they themselves could stand against the British.

Therefore, out of a balance consideration, and in order to contain the speed of German expansion, Zhao Jian decided to take a hand to pull the Richelieu, and even he was ready to help the "Free France" that had not yet appeared in the future.

In addition, Zhao Jian had a hunch that the mysterious organization that funded Germany, as well as the so-called "Lord God" who instructed them behind their backs, the other party's motive for wanting to return was not simple. If he is really allowed to break through the wall of the great realm on the periphery of the known star field, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe even more tragic than World War II!

"Thor, how's the rescue operation going?"

"一qiē顺lì, Admiral!"

Under the double control of fighter jets and smoke grenades, the British fleet was delayed for nearly an hour before barely recovering from the chaos. Although the losses of the fleet were not large, they were a clean face. By the time the dazed Hood tried to find Richelieu again, the other party had already fled!

On the other side, the Richelieu, which had escaped, was slowly approaching the Star Fortress, escorted by a squadron of fighters. They are in very bad condition at the moment. The speed is also decreasing.

In previous battles with the British, the Richelieu had received hundreds of shells. Especially when rushing through the enemy array, it was completely hard to carry it down, and the battleship's large-caliber main guns alone took no less than 10 rounds. Fortunately, the main armor belt was strong enough to effectively protect the vital points, but the rest of the world suffered.

In addition to the almost broken hull, more than one-third of the ship's 1,670 crew members were killed or wounded, and all the sailors who knew first aid spontaneously participated in the rescue, but the death toll continued to rise.

Standing inside the broken bridge, Colonel Mazen, whose forehead was still oozing blood. Looking at the wounded soldiers on the deck below, I really felt the heavy price it takes to maintain dignity. And beside him, Richelieu bit her lip tightly, and sadness, anger, unwillingness, and other emotions kept changing on her face.

"Not only the Germans, but also the British have to pay the price!"

"Yes...... Definitely......"

Silently reciting "Don't forget jì" in his heart, Colonel Mazen turned his eyes to the fighter planes that were escorting them not far away, and he was most worried about these "friendly forces" now, for fear that he would just get out of the wolf pack and enter the tiger's mouth, because he couldn't guess the real identity of the other party from the plane alone.

And at this very moment. Suddenly, several destroyers appeared!

The Richelieu's radar had already been completely reimbursed in previous battles, so it was not detected until the enemy was visible to the naked eye. The appearance of these warships immediately made the officers and men on the Richelieu extremely nervous, but soon the other party sounded the lamp. Saying that they are friendly troops finally made them breathe a sigh of relief!

What made the wounded French soldiers even happier was that after the other side came up, they actually sent a large number of medical personnel and medicines by jet boat. With their help. Many of the seriously injured who were already on the verge of despair had rekindled their hopes of survival. Captain Mazen brought his surviving officers to the deck to express his gratitude to the life-savers, and inquired about their identities by the way.

But what surprised him a little was that. The other party turned out to be Asian faces.

"Hello! I am Captain Mazen, the captain of the Richelieu, and I thank you very much for your help, without your help, we might all be corpses now, may I ask which country's fleet is your army? ”

"It's okay when we're international friends. Colonel, you have a lot of seriously wounded here, and they need to perform the operation as much as possible, otherwise the situation will deteriorate at any time. If you don't mind, let them transfer to our ship first! This will allow you to return to our base camp as much as possible. ”

"No problem! The lives of my men are up to you! ”

Reason prevented Colonel Mazen from putting suspicion above the lives of his men, and the medical personnel on both sides began to select the seriously wounded who needed priority treatment and then transferred them to the destroyer by jet boat. Looking at the destroyers that left first, although Mazen was not completely at ease with these "international friends", he could not just watch his subordinates die.

After seeing off the seriously wounded, Colonel Mazen did not just look at them, and he, who did not know first aid, went around with Richelieu to comfort the wounded who were enduring pain. At this time, Mazen noticed that the medical equipment brought by the Asians was more advanced than expected.

Ordinary trauma they are not gauze at all, and they do not suture, just spray the wound with a magical foam spray. Moreover, this thing also seems to have its own anesthetic effect, and the wounded soldier's original painful expression can be clearly relieved quickly. And some other injuries that left the French military doctors helpless, they also had a way to deal with them. As soon as the 30-man medical team arrived, no one had died on board the Richelieu.

"That's amazing! Just by these miraculous emergency measures, it can be seen that their military technology will not be much worse! ”

"Captain, look at that...... O my God! ”

Hearing the exclamations of Richelieu and the many people around him, Colonel Mazen looked in the direction of everyone's gaze, and was immediately stunned by what his eyes saw. Directly in front of the Richelieu, a behemoth painted in camouflage protection stood in front of them.

At first glance, it looked like a legendary super sea monster, but its size dwarfed even mythology, and the Richelieu looked so small in front of it. And soon this "monster" opened its big mouth, as if it wanted to devour them.

Seeing this, Richelieu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, threw a pleading look at Captain Mazen, and after getting the other party's approval, he drove in with some trepidation...... (To be continued......)

PS: Welcome to Richeliu (laughs)!
