Chapter 570: I'm Really Just Hiding from You!

Although the rough embryo on the F217 is as unreliable as the strawberry soldiers of a certain provincial maritime security force, John Niu's torpedo boat, whose face is already black and shiny, does not have the luck of being pierced by Xiong San.

Today's walrus was stable, and the MM-40 "Exocet" anti-ship missile, which was mistakenly fired by the kitchen boy, penetrated the port side of the British ironclad torpedo boat at a near-sonic speed at an altitude of less than three meters above sea level.

Even though it was an ironclad ship that was often ridiculed by rough embryos as a thin-skinned ship, it was still a warship, and it was always much thicker than the fishing boat that was pierced by Xiong San.

When you are targeted by an anti-ship missile that once sank the "Sea Giant", this level of thickness is not a good thing, because at this time your only hope is that your skin is thin enough for it to penetrate out of your hull after a clatter, otherwise the more than 300 pounds of modern explosives carried by its warhead will not be a joke once detonated.

As an anti-ship missile that once sank the world's largest ship, the "Exocet" also came from the destroyer of the John Bull family - Sheffield, and the Eagle Sauce family's Stark cruiser was heavily damaged by it, the John Bull family's temporary vertical take-off and landing carrier "Atlantic Porter" and the destroyer Glamorgan Morgen, and the latter three were able to escape because of a group of god-level damage management.

Obviously, the torpedo boat of the Far East Fleet, which was locked by the F217 ship, did not have enough damage to deal with the impact of the "Exocet", uh, in fact, when the 165KG high explosive in the MM-40 warhead was detonated, the small body of the ironclad torpedo boat was almost torn in half, not to mention any damage management, there were not many people who could breathe on it, and there was no self-help at all!

Rear Admiral Scott took a military observation group to make contact with the "Great Song Dynasty" shortly after crossing the Liaodong Peninsula, and the spectacular scene of the bombardment of the 406 large water pipe on the BB63 was witnessed by the former commander of the Hong Kong Fleet and now the acting commander of the Far East Fleet, and the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty was no match for the fleet ships of the Far East Fleet, which was originally only to restrain Mao Zi from moving south and whose main task was to scare the foot basin Jiman.

Therefore, when the British Admiralty ordered him to go south to Hong Kong to put pressure on the 38th Task Force of the Royal Song Navy, which was said to be showing off its military might in Manila, Rear Admiral Scott was very unoptimistic.

Sending faster torpedo boats to cruise around the main fleet was also a cautious move by Rear Admiral Scott to be afraid of the proud combat power of the Royal Song Navy.

However, even if he has become a dog, even if he has kept his sanity and calmness, including Boss Zhao, Major General Scott still can't prevent the kitchen boy's sharp finger, well, maybe two fingers, and he confusedly turned the simulation mode used for training into a combat mode.

Anyway, when Rear Admiral Scott and the main fleet came to the sea where the torpedo boat was attacked, he saw two life-saving rowboats drifting at sea with a small crew, and the torpedo boat was so cold that he couldn't even see the mast.

"There was a violent explosion on our port side, and the ship sank very quickly. Yes, Your Excellency Commander, before I saw an officer of a higher rank than me, it was cut to the point where it had to abandon the ship. A blanket-draped ensign shuddered.

"Your Excellency Commander, are they encountering heavy mines?" The adjutant asked Major General Scott in a whisper.

"Didn't you hear the second lieutenant? The explosion came from the port side in the middle of the hull, what is the probability of hitting a mine at this position? Scott said.

"And in such open waters, unless the Great Song people scatter all the mines they have in their inventory into the sea, it will be difficult to achieve results at all." Major Scott continued.

"Could it be that they've deployed that kind of submarine weapon around here?" The adjutant's face turned pale as he spoke.

Once it is confirmed that there are submarines of the Great Song people cruising in this vicinity, then the Far East Fleet's return trip to port will really be a dead end.

People can even block you for ten days and a half at the huge Port of Liverpool, and now it's Hong Kong in the South Pacific Ocean, so you can't be blocked?

Of course, the adjutant's ignorance of modern observation and reconnaissance equipment and modern means of communication contributed to his deep misunderstanding of the combat capabilities of submarines.

If the rough embryos had a submarine around here, even if it was just the kind of low-end diesel fuel in the hands of the three fatsmen, it would be able to teach John Bull's Far Eastern Fleet how to behave in minutes.

In those years, the torpedo boat had a displacement of several hundred tons and less than a thousand tons, and it was slapped in the face by an anti-ship missile like the "Exocet", which had a remarkable record, and there were not many people on this torpedo boat who could survive at all, and the people who witnessed the "Exocet" touching the ship were all already pulp, and now Scott and they don't know what happened to the torpedo boat they sent out to cruise.

"Well, none of the survivors mentioned the whistling of the shells, I guess they must have encountered a submarine from the Great Song people." Scott is also inclined to the theory that there are large Song submarines cruising around here.

"So what do we do now?" The adjutant asked.

The incumbent commander was not optimistic about the prospects of the Far East Fleet and the 38th Task Force of the Royal Song Navy, but now that there were signs of enemy submarines in the nearby waters, the adjutant subconsciously felt that Hong Kong could not go again.

What to do? Chilled salad! If they continue to sail southeast, even if they dodge the submarines of the Great Song people, they can only end up being blocked in Victoria Harbor.

However, on the way north, he would encounter the huge battleship BB63, and after seeing it bombarding Maguan, Rear Admiral Scott concluded that even if the entire Far East Fleet was lost, it would not be enough for it to plug its teeth.

Straight south? Hehe, according to intelligence, the "warship" of the Great Song Dynasty blocked in Manila Bay has a much larger tonnage than BB63, and it is estimated that it will be a journey of thousands of miles to send people to the south!

"Send someone to Guangzhou to report to the Admiralty about our current situation, and the fleet will sail northeast to avoid the submarines of the Great Song people." Major General Scott pleaded in.

"Crooked, Boss Zhao, there's a new situation on my side." After the F217 radar discovered that the British had turned around, Marcos could only contact the command center of the green paint area again after being sprayed by Zhao Yi for about ten minutes.

"What's new? You can't have shot another 'flying fish', right? Zhao Yi said.

"Tsk, how can this be, what do you think of me, I have already increased the management of various positions on the ship, and there will be no more such low-level mistakes, no, no!" Marcos said.

"Tell me, what's new?" Zhao Yi said.

"Our radar found that the main force of the John Bull Far East Fleet had just turned around and moved northeast." Marcos said.

"Northeast? Hong Kong, don't they want it? Zhao Yi couldn't figure out the intention of the British to sail to the northeast for a while.

"yes, do you want me to put it up and see what they're up to?" Marcos said.

"Don't move! Wait there for the order of the Provisional Executive Committee! Until now, Zhao Yi doesn't believe Marco's statement that "Flying Fish" was shot out by mistake by the kitchen brother, in his heart, this fool who has never met so far is a master who doesn't make trouble and is uncomfortable!

What is there in the northeast that is worth ignoring Hong Kong? Zhao Yi put down his headphones and turned his head to the map on the wall.

The current location of the Far East Fleet marked on the map, with a finger along the northeast direction, our boss Zhao saw the treasure island of China - Taiwan.

I'm Nyima! Okay, you John Bull, why don't you play with Lao Tzu to save Zhao from Wei here?
