Since the traversers who left the green paint area to carry out the mission were not allowed to carry the kind of mobile phones that the "director team" was equipped with, Lu Xiaobei and the others did not know that three warships were transmitted by the "director team". With the usual urine nature of the "director's team", no one would have thought that there would be such convulsions that they would be generous enough to send a fleet of one destroyer and two frigates at once.

"This is Star One, call Task Force 38, please answer if you receive it." Lu Xiaobei had an expression on his face like a dead horse being a live horse doctor, and said weakly into the microphone.

This group of nasty miscellaneous people, don't hurry up and clean up the hair and then send BB63 south to make this so-called "38th Task Force" to fool the old lady, why don't you even have an aircraft carrier, why do you call yourself the 38th Task Force, you are embarrassed? I don't know where Zhao Yiyi, the scumbag, fooled two or three warships, and he actually did this kind of trick of pulling tiger skin as a banner, Lu Xiaobei thought to himself.

Whose warship will it be, is it Eagle Sauce's? Well, it's quite possible, otherwise why would those bad bastards give the fleet a name "Task Force 38"? Now that we are connected with the old Morgan, it is not impossible to fool the Yankees into sending a fleet to the South Pacific.

At the end of the 19th century, Eagle Sauce also entered the stage of imperialism, and the American monopoly capital consortium urgently needed to open up new markets, investment places and raw material production areas. But the fledgling Eagle Sauce will not be able to kill the old capitalist countries such as Britain and France, so the aging Spanish Empire has become the object of Eagle Sauce to test its beak and claws.

By this time, Spain was in decline, and the only remaining vast imperial colonies were Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines in Asia. The United States decided to seize the Spanish colonies first in order to control Central America and the Caribbean, and to gain bases for expansion into the Far East and Asia.

In order to get the Philippines under the nose of John Bull, it is not impossible for Eagle Sauce to make peace with the Great Song Empire. As for the fact that the Spanish-American War would not break out until 1898 in the history of the original time and space, Lu Xiaobei directly skipped it, and she was no longer surprised that the butterfly effect caused by the strong intervention of the traversal people led to the advance and postponement of certain historical events.

I hope that Eagle Sauce's fleet can save the emergency, Lu Xiaobei prayed in his heart that the 38th Task Force could be more reliable than its name.

"Ho/called/in/the/fleet?" There was an English line that Lu Xiaobei was very familiar with on the other end of the radio.

I'm not a reliable master! After hearing the other party respond to his call with the famous line of the Terran ship in StarCraft 2, Lu Xiaobei cursed in his heart.

Lu Xiaobei's ex-boyfriend who abandoned her because of her naked loan incident is a fanatical obsession with StarCraft 2, Lu Xiaobei is not less by his side, waiting for him to turn his eyes from the computer screen to himself, this line is very impressive to her!

"Can we not be poor? We've all been blocked in Dongwanlu by the Dutch for a few days, so don't be so cheap, bring Eagle Sauce's fleet to rescue us, we won't be able to last long! Lu Xiaobei shouted loudly.

"Oh, why is this young lady so temperamental!? Alright, alright, we'll take all the guys and set out at once, and promise to beat the Dutch out after sunrise tomorrow! Uh, and our fleet really doesn't have Eagle Sauce or anything. Yang Guang heard the anger in Lu Xiaobei's tone, and he didn't dare to tease her anymore.

Although the F217, the closest Brandenburg-class frigate to East Manlaw, was less than 400 kilometers away from the location where they sent the radio signal to the north, and with its top speed of 29 knots, and the range of the Exocet anti-ship missiles it was equipped with was nearly 70 kilometers, it would be five or six hours before the 38th Task Force was about to beat the Dutch.

However, the Provisional Executive Committee gave Yang Guang their instructions to try not to use missiles if they could be solved by naval artillery, after all, the crossing people were still holding back the bad idea of letting the great powers enter the ship-building arms race.

Moreover, these three warships do not have dozens of anti-ship missiles available as Marcos boasted, and it is true that they have dozens of missiles installed in missile launchers, but these three warships are all modern warships with air defense tasks in the 21 st century, and a large part of these missiles to be launched are anti-aircraft missiles.

Coupled with the fact that they are not familiar with the nearby sea conditions, who would dare to drive a warship to its maximum speed at night? Yang Guang conservatively estimated that they should be able to give the Dutch a hard blow after sunrise 12 hours later.

If you don't use missiles, you don't need to, we can beat the Dutch out of the flying Dutch with naval artillery! Yang Guang thought to himself.

In fact, the Brandenburg-class frigates, which have the smallest caliber guns, are also equipped with one Otto Melera 76 mm/62Mk?75 naval gun. The guns on the Duke-class frigates are MK-8 Mod1-114 mm guns, while the Dreadnought II-class destroyers are frantically equipped with red iron-fisted twin AK-130 guns, all of which have a range of more than 20 kilometers against the sea with the help of fire control radar.

Although in terms of caliber, they are much inferior to the naval guns of this era, which have a caliber of 3200 mm at every turn, but in terms of rate of fire, artillery power and hit rate, these naval guns can crush all the naval guns of this era. Well, judging by the fact that none of these naval guns had a rate of fire of no less than twenty rounds per minute, it would not be difficult for them to fly kites and wash the entire deck of John Bull's Far Eastern Fleet.

"Alright, workers, adjust the course to catch up with the F217 ships to form a formation, and we will go to rescue the besieged friendly forces!" Yang Guang said to the crew of the bridge.

After nearly eleven hours of grinding, the rough embryos of Task Force 38 finally saw the three dead Dutch destroyers in the optical observation equipment. Of course, the Dutchman's telescopes, which were toys to the traversers, could not have identified the three black dots on the distant horizon.

"Sir, shall we show our identity to the Dutch?" The first mate asked Yang Guang.

"Hit the flag, the telescope of this era is more unreliable than the kind of toys you use to watch the ball game, we have to rely on how close to the Dutch to see our flag clearly, don't say anything, bomb it first and then think about the flag, if you have the courage to surround us, we have to be sunk into the sea to feed the fish, isn't it?"

The Dreadnought II.-class destroyer 650, the flagship of Task Force 38, was the first to fire on the three Dutch destroyers cruising off the coast of East Manlot, with its 130-mm guns.
