Chapter VII Return Voyage

With the battlecruiser as the flagship, with four cruisers escorting and one destroyer scouting, there are still two fleets...

Jiang Yan grinned, a little puzzled how the top ten fleets of the Imperial Navy's search force could appear in such a place.

Judging from the time and location of the sea, these two fleets did not come to the rescue operation at all.

"So, the purpose is to express itself?"

Jiang Yan asked Lao Luo to slow down and quietly wait for the arrival of the two search fleets with a third one, that is, a fleet composed of two destroyers.

"See Major General. ”

The two admirals, a man and a woman, who were beside the two battle cruiser flagships, came to the front and back and made an imperial salute to Jiang Yan.

The top ten admiral families of the Yaslan Empire, the status of the head of the family is equivalent to that of a rear admiral.

According to rumors, the only thing left in the Jiang family is the young man in front of him, and he will naturally inherit the position of the head of the family, and the admiral uniform he wears also proves his identity very well.

Although he had no real power, he could receive regular imperial favors, and he did not need to pay tribute to high governors outside the royal family.

Jiang Yan returned the military salute and asked, "What are you?"

"On the orders of Admiral Nelson, I came to find Major General Jiang Yan. Said the female admiral, dressed in a tight major uniform.

"Rear Admiral Jiang Yan, the current situation has changed, please change the course and set off with us to join the Imperial Fleet. The male admiral said succinctly.

"Changing course?"

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, you are not qualified to ask me to change course. ”

Joke, this is not the waters of the Empire, what should the admirals of these two fleets do if they have bad intentions towards themselves?

This is still the high seas, and you can use the fire control radar that Lao Luo regards as a treasure to contact the Imperial Navy Headquarters, who knows where it will be taken, there will be radar communication interference.

You must know that the Jiang family has not gone on an expedition for more than a hundred years, and it is not surprising that anything has changed in the outer sea area in the past hundred years.

The two admirals of the navy glanced at each other, although the current head of the Jiang family was young, he was not a stunned young man! No wonder he could sink the opponent's flagship and save three destroyers under the fire of an intact deep-sea habitat ship.

The female admiral slashed her fingers, and the blood oozing out smeared on the soul of the light cruiser who had just scratched beside her, and with the swing of her fingers, a light array was thrown into the air.

"The Fifth Search Fleet of the Imperial Navy, request communications. ”

The communication veins on the light array slowly turned, and after a few seconds, a voice came from within.

"This is the communications room of the Imperial Navy Headquarters, Communicator Eleven. ”

The female admiral replied: "Rear Admiral Jiang Yan has been found, please announce the current order of the Imperial Navy." ”

Jiang Yan sat on Rodney's battleship soul with his chest crossed, and said lightly: "Jiang Yan is here to listen to orders. ”

"Rear Admiral Jiang Yan is requested to follow the search fleet to the eleventh channel from the Imperial waters to the high seas, and join the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, which will be led by Admiral Nelson. ”

Jiang Yan looked at the flickering headquarters communication room badge on the communication array, and said: "I'm sorry, because I met the destroyer of the empire yesterday and was pursued by the deep-sea habitat ship, and I helped out, Rodney's sailing heavy fuel and ammunition have been almost exhausted, and I need to return to Hong Kong to replenish." ”

The two admirals didn't expect Jiang Yan to refuse to do this, but before the other side of the communication room could reply, Jiang Yan continued: "This is all your responsibility, if you can't call the shots, please pass on Admiral Nelson and tell her that Rodney is still in a state of small ruin." ”

Jiang Yan blocked the words of the correspondent on the other side in two sentences, Rodney, as one of the two strongest battleships in the empire, is good to say that the supply is fine, but if it needs to be repaired, except for returning to the port, there is no other place to carry it.

"Okay, but..."

Correspondent No. 11 replied, although Nelson and Rodney didn't seem to see each other much, but who in the Empire didn't know the relationship between the two ships!

However, she wanted to make a final effort before arraigning Admiral Nelson - according to the communications of the first two search fleets, it seemed that Rear Admiral Jiang Yan still had a destroyer by his side.

"Maybe you can send the Destroyer Lady to join the Imperial fleet and let Rodney return to port to repair?"

Jiang Yan simply refused: "I'm sorry, I have to be responsible for my own safety, please transfer it directly to Admiral Nelson, you must know that the way you are now is entirely because you want to save the three destroyers of the empire." ”

"If you still insist that I go to join the Imperial fleet and participate in the expedition, if the Imperial Admiral knows about this matter, I think there will be many Admirals who will be cold..."

When the time comes, if the Imperial fleet is in crisis outside the sea, those admirals who go out on the expedition may not help, and their own safety and interests will be the priority.

The correspondent understood the meaning almost immediately, and was immediately frightened into a cold sweat.

The two admirals opposite Jiang Yan looked at each other in shock, shocked by the young man's methods and boldness.

The faces of the fourteen imperial ship mothers were slightly unnatural, and the two rescued destroyer mothers were even more so, as for the other big broken destroyer mother, if she knew about this situation, she would not feel good.

"I see, please wait. A serious voice came from the communication array.

Jiang Yan waited quietly, glanced at the eyes of the admiral and the ship ladies on the other side, and felt quite speechless in his heart.

As the last bloodline of the Jiang family and the current head of the family, he naturally has his own considerations.

The mission of the fleet sent failed, and the Imperial Navy unexpectedly prepared to go on an expedition to a deep-sea habitat, and Jiang Yan was completely wasting time with the past at this time, and he did not get any benefits at all.

Because his body at this time can't withstand the consumption of even one salvage resource, let alone salvage another ship.

It just happened that he could put the blame on the fleet that failed in the mission and was saved by him, and openly refused to participate in this operation, Jiang Yan naturally would not waste such an opportunity.

"Major General Jiang Yan, Admiral Nelson asks you to take Rodney back to Hong Kong to get some rest. ”

"Third, fifth search fleet, please go to the general fleet at once to rendezvous. ”

In the middle of the ring, the voice of the messenger came from the communication array, and the female admiral who was about to replenish blood cut her fingers, and saluted another admiral and replied: "Yes!"

The three fleets sailed away with complicated eyes, and Rodney breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Not!

At this moment, a flush appeared on Jiang Yan's face, oozing from his closed lips.

His face turned pale.

"Young Master (Admiral)!" Rodney and Fantasy were in a hurry almost at the same time, and the latter circled around Rodney desperately.

"Return. ”

Jiang Yan swallowed back the blood gushing out, barely finished the order, closed his eyes and fainted.
