ACT587: Happiness came so suddenly
After the invading enemy was repulsed, the exhausted Star Fort fleet could not take a break, so they sent people to meet the Leap that was left behind. However, before they arrived, a US aircraft carrier task force met Zhao and them first, and took the initiative to escort them back.
Two hours earlier, U.S. forces in the vicinity of Stargate 1 had intercepted a German telegram informing them of an imminent military operation against Starfort. Nimitz wanted to warn the friendly troops to be careful at the first time, but he was unable to get in touch with the Star Castle that was disturbed by the communication, so he had no choice but to send a TF8 formation to inform him.
Unfortunately, when the U.S. troops intercepted the telegram, the surprise attack of the German-Italian forces was about to be launched. Vice Admiral Halsey, who commanded the TF8 task force, ordered the fleet to force its way through a rainy area in order to be in a hurry.
As a result, nine warships, including the Enterprise, lost their way in the heavy rain, and two destroyers were left behind, and the fate of them has not been known until now. By the time the dazed "Brute Bull" came out of the heavy rain with his fleet, the battle on the Star Castle side was almost over. Fortunately, Halsey, who was belated, met the Leap halfway, and the TF8 formation did not run in vain.
After returning to Star Castle, Zhao Jian immediately met with the representatives of the Allied forces who participated in the battle and thanked them for their righteous actions. Especially the British army, although they only had 4 warships, they contributed a lot in this battle, and the Brilliant fought all the carrier-based aircraft, and only 6 pilots survived.
In order to thank them, Zhao Jian took out Hood's divine core and wanted to return it to the British army. Rear Admiral Liszt was very familiar with current affairs, and after seeing Hood's radiant divine core, he only frowned slightly twice, and then pushed back the divine core handed over by Zhao Jian.
In the past few days when Lai was in Star Castle, the British secretly collected a lot of information, and what did the French rely on to hug Zhao Jian's thigh, Liszt and they had already figured it out.
So since Zhao Jian is interesting, then it is better to push the boat with the water.
On the other side, the casualty report of Star Castle's own side was also handed over to Zhao by Xia Weier as soon as the battle began. In this fierce offensive and defensive battle, the Star Fort fleet moved to two places one after another, and more than two-thirds of the battleships were wounded, but only the aircraft carrier Kaga, the destroyers Takiba and Ryuba were really sunk. Because he was able to climb back on his own, he could only be considered a big break.
It is worth mentioning that the Divine Cores of the two destroyers were successfully recovered after the war. Although their hull was instantly evaporated by the high-energy beam fired by Dora, the "black box" that protected the god's core successfully resisted the impact. After the resurrection, the two little guys had no memory of the fact that they had "died in battle" once, after all, that process was in an instant, and everything happened too fast.
The losses of their own side were much lower than Zhao Jian expected at the beginning, and there is no doubt that in addition to the advantages in equipment, the results of the exercise were also indispensable. On the other hand, in the Axis camp, although this operation gathered the elite of Germany, Japan and Italy, the synergy between them can really only be described as rotten.
According to their initial battle plan, the Japanese ghost fortress had to hold the main fleet of the Star Castle for at least 12 hours, but their hatred lasted less than an hour, so that the Star Fortress fleet could rush back in time to rescue, and then there was no tacit understanding between the German and Italian fleets.
The Italian fleet lacked sufficient knowledge of the entire battle plan from beginning to end, and the Germans only treated them as "servants" and demanded that they cooperate with them in battle. These circumstances were all learned by Zhao Jian from the captured Italian officers, and they said everything.
And what made Zhao Jian feel the most crying and laughing was the Italian fleet that went and returned, and the other party came back with a white flag less than half a day after retreating. Anzu commanding this Italian fleet. Admiral Aquino, hoping for a dignified surrender to Star Castle.
After being betrayed by the Germans, Admiral Aquino wanted to return home with the remaining fleet, but when they retreated to the Star Gate, they found that their supply ships had been captured by the Germans.
Taking advantage of their superiority in communications, the Germans ordered the garrison remaining here to take over the supplies of the Italian fleet before it returned. Without fuel, the Italian battleships, known for their "short legs", had a pitiful voyage, and unless the American and German troops along the way did not make a move, they would not be able to return to Italy at all with the remaining fuel on the ship.
Therefore, the Italians, who were at the end of their rope, could only come back and surrender to Star Castle.
"Tsk! 2 heavy cruisers, 1 light cruiser, 6 destroyers, more than 5,000 prisoners, and counting those sunk, we have made a lot of money in this battle! ”
Looking at the list of "trophies" on the statistical report, Chi You's eyebrows fluttered and whistled, but when her eyes were aimed at the young girl sitting on Zhao Jian's lap playing with toys, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but grin.
"Speaking of which, little brother, you are really blessed with a great fate, if I had to fight that cannon at that time, it would not have been able to protect your thoughtfulness at all. This little guy can not only support that level of position in his mother's womb, but also can collect most of his energy for his own use, this ability is simply against the sky! ”
"I wish she had been born in a more ordinary way."
Touching the head of the little girl in his arms dotingly, Zhao Jian showed a gentle and subtle smile on his face.
For Zhao Jian in this offensive and defensive battle, the biggest surprise was that the daughter in Hongling's belly was prematurely born due to the impact of the giant artillery bombardment. This is definitely a sad story for ordinary humans, because Hongling has only been pregnant with this child for more than a month, but Zhao Jian has instantly become a nonsensical comedy.
At that time, the child had just absorbed the energy of the shelling, and because he was too full, he was excited to run back and forth between the two mothers. As a result, one was accidentally born from Xiao Lu's side.
However, when the child first came out, it was not in human form, but a large pearl that emitted a milky white soft light. As soon as Hongling saw this thing, she mistakenly thought that her child had died, and she fainted when she rolled her eyes. And although Zhao Jian felt life, he still roared with joy.
"Why did you give birth to a ball!?"
Fortunately, Chi You was well-informed and recognized that this big white pearl was actually an "egg", so he reached out and knocked lightly twice, and two responses suddenly sounded in the eggshell, Zhao Jian also reacted when he saw this, and hurriedly reached out to hold it, but as soon as his hands touched it, the eggshell shattered with a "bang", and a young girl who looked like she was 3~5 years old flew into Zhao Jian's arms and screamed sweetly.
"Baba!" R1152
