After the first round of the tripartite battle in the Shattered Star Zone, unlike the relaxed atmosphere on the Star Castle side, the Japanese Combined Fleet can be said to be gloomy and bleak, and it is in an embarrassing dilemma.

Because the preparation in the early stage was not sufficient, Yamamoto fifty-six had already paid a heavy price for his hasty attack. The Nanyun Mobile Force, which had single-handedly created a "miracle" at Pearl Harbor, was almost completely wiped out in this battle, with three dead and one wounded on four aircraft carriers, and more than 100 elite pilots lost together.

In the final stage of the battle, the carrier-based aircraft group from the USS Enterprise accurately raided the location of the Japanese logistics fleet, destroying more than two-thirds of the opponent's supply ships on the spot, which suddenly made the already overstretched Japanese logistics even worse.

This series of encounters made the Japanese realize that the enemy's ability to detect and control the battlefield had reached a point beyond their reach. The deployment of the forces of one's own fleet, and even every move, are all under the control of the other side, as if they are being played with by someone and applauded.

Ironically, as early as two years ago, when Yamaguchi Tamon first fought the Star Castle fleet, he had already found a clue from the opponent's precise and timely battlefield response.

Unfortunately, due to the loss of the Kii in that battle, Yamaguchi Tabun was found to have been miscommanded by the base camp. Even the report he submitted did not receive enough attention. This operation can be said to be profitable, so that the devil will return all the forced forces he pretended before!

But even in such a bad situation, there were still many officers in the Japanese fleet who firmly believed that victory would ultimately belong to the Imperial Army, because they still had the mighty Nagato, Mutsu, and the invincible Yamato! It was only by relying on Yamato's "shielding field" that it helped the Japanese army barely regain a city.

As long as you can find the main force of the enemy army and fight it, you will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!

But Yamamoto didn't think that this local advantage could reverse the overall disadvantage of the war. But when I think about what I'm going to face when I go back. Yamamoto hesitated again......

In the command room of the Star Castle, Zhao Jian looked at the Japanese fleet on the star map and smiled without saying a word. Next to him stood the two De Frijn sisters De String and her sister Xiao Lu, who had just brought a bunch of large bananas they had picked from the Botanical Garden, and the three of them were eating and looking at the picture.

"Admiral! You say it's all like this, why don't they retreat yet? ”

"Retreat? Do you think Hirohito will agree? Yamamoto should know very well that even if he led the fleet back now in the name of logistics, the megalomaniacs in the base camp would definitely force them to come again. ”

"So he's planning to fight us?"

"Not only is it a stalemate, but when our reconnaissance station got closer, we found that the Japanese engineers were building on the asteroid near the No. 1 Star Gate, and it seemed that they were preparing to build a defense base based on the practice of the US military. It seems that Yamamoto wants to prioritize securing the troop transport line. It's good to play a protracted battle with us. ”

"Hehe, in terms of longevity, you should have an overwhelming advantage, right?"

Speaking with a rather connotative meat tone, De Frilinger smiled evilly and licked the peeled banana in his hand with the tip of his tongue, and then glanced at Zhao Jian provocatively.

At this time, the commander of the French army, Joan of Arc, came to the command room with several officers, and the Rise, who was behind her, gave a look at the Zhao ship, who had no trace of it. De Frilinger noticed the other party's small movement, and his eyes wandered between her and Zhao Jian for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Good afternoon, General Joan of Arc. Is there anything you want me to do? ”

"Admiral Zhao, I have a reluctant request, can I let my pilots also participate in the war against Japan?"

"You want them to get some hands-on experience?"

"yes, I think it's good for both of us. In addition, after observing the combat methods of your army. Personally, I also have a strong interest in ships like aircraft carriers. Since you have pledged to assist us in rebuilding our navy, I wonder if you can also build us one or two medium-sized aircraft carriers. ”

"Of course that's fine! You can pick some pilots now, and I'll put them in the Leap's air fleet. As for aircraft carriers, as long as you are ready for the god core. The hull will soon be in place. ”

"That's so thankful."

According to the shipbuilding agreement negotiated with de Gaulle, Zhao promised to build a fleet of 350,000 displacements for the Free France, which made the almost poor Free France ecstatic.

The opposing side initially hoped to use these tonnages to build 3 45,000-ton high-speed battleships, 5 10,000-ton heavy cruisers, 10 6,000-ton light cruisers and 25 2,500-ton large destroyers.

And out of a kind of pride of a former great power. The French expressed their desire to provide themselves with drawings for the construction of battleships and destroyers, and then took out an improved Alsace-class battleship of the Richelieu class and an improved Mogadol-class destroyer of the Fantasy class. Zhao Jian didn't think that these two French warships would be stronger than his Dongshan-class and standard-class, but since the other party insisted, he didn't object.

Interestingly, after de Gaulle asked the domestic undercover personnel to take the drawings into microfilm and send them to the Star Castle, Zhao Jian was happy when he saw the design drawings of the Alsace-class. What kind of three-seater quadruple is equipped with wood? The main gun has been increased from 45 to 50, and the new gun can be used to upgrade Richelieu.

In addition to these confirmed ships, the French side also left more than 40,000 tons as a backup, so Joan of Arc wanted to use these remaining tonnage to purchase two more 20,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carriers. Even the name of the ship Joan of Arc has been decided, the first ship is called Xia Fei, and the second ship is called Ban Erwei.

And in terms of drawings, Joan of Arc did not intend to continue to cling to the pride of the French, and wisely left the responsibility of Starcastle with full responsibility. The other side has more experience than the French in the field of aircraft carriers, both in terms of design and use.

After receiving a satisfactory answer from Zhao Jian, Joan of Arc took people back to pick up the pilot, and before leaving, he deliberately found an excuse to throw Richelieu here. And De Fllinger, who had already seen through it, naturally knew each other very well when he saw this, and immediately dragged his sister Xiao Lu to flash the smoke.

I didn't expect everyone to be so "on the road", which made Zhao Jian a little embarrassed.

"They—Why are they gone?"

"I guess I don't want to be a light bulb!"

Seeing that there were only two people left in the huge command room, he and Richelieu, Zhao Jian immediately snapped his fingers, and the door of the command room suddenly closed. Then he pushed Richelieu to the table, lifted him up slightly, and squeezed his legs open.

Looking at the other party's cute expression of nervousness and expectation, Zhao Jian asked with a wicked smile.

"Miss Richelieu, would you like to discuss artillery with me?" (To be continued......)

PS: But I still don't have Sister Li (African face)!
