"Report to the general, there is Miyako Island ahead, we found a large number of ships loitering here, it should be the Japanese 'pirate ship'!"

The Japanese are called fishing boats, so as the enemy of East Africa, the official definition of it as a pirate ship flowing into the waters of the South Ryukyu Islands, this is also more convincing to fight, both sides are not pure, but they both like to learn from the bitch to set up a torii.

"Sound the warning and start driving away." Gleich ordered.

The fact that there was no direct fight was the respect of East Africa for Japan's strength, after all, East Africa was a guest from afar, and it did not yet have the strength to be arrogant enough to be arrogant and domineering in the Far East.

Subsequently, the sailors in the main gun room of the East African "Partridge" began to adjust the angle of the artillery and fired three shells in a row in the direction of the sky in the waters of Miyakojima.

"Boom ......"

The shells fell on the sea along the parabola, and in the explosion, huge waves were stirred up on the surface of the sea, which swept the tide of the sea in all directions.

The shells of the "Partridge" ironclad ship landed less than 800 meters away from the two Japanese "corsairs," and one of the relatively small fishing boats was almost overturned by the oncoming seawater, and the hull tilted nearly 90 degrees.

Grace, who was holding a telescope, naturally saw this scene: "It seems that the other party is not an ordinary person, it is very likely that it is a fisherman disguised by the Japanese Navy!" ”

"Why did the general say that?"

Grace replied: "The place where the shell exploded just now was so close, but the few people in that small boat were not afraid of danger, and they worked together to deal with it very appropriately, and stabilized the hull in a very short time in an extreme environment, which is not something that ordinary fishermen can do." ”

"The general means that these fishermen are all Japanese soldiers in disguise?"

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, but it doesn't matter if they are Japanese soldiers or not, if they are not interested and take the initiative to leave, then they will all stay and sink into the sea!" Gleich ordered.

At the moment when the shell exploded, several people were drenched in cold sweat and their faces were pale.

"Eight Tooth Road, East Africa is too deceitful!" This time, Japan's Supreme Commander Seiji Ozawa scolded angrily.

In fact, as soon as the East African Fleet appeared, the Japanese naturally discovered the existence of the East African Fleet, especially the bright flag of East Africa, which the Japanese naturally recognized.

However, the East African ironclad ships were very unmartial and opened fire when they were still far away from the Japanese fleet, which made Ozawa Seiji's heart hang at that time, and if he aimed at his own command ship, it might be over.

Seiji Ozawa's command ship was only a sailing ship with a displacement of more than 500 tons, and naturally it could not block a blow from the main ironclad ships in East Africa.

Fortunately, East Africa did not want to quarrel with each other, and only threatened with artillery, but this also put great pressure on the Japanese fleet.

"Your Excellency Commander, it should be the East African Navy, now that the enemy is strong, and they have fired a warning just now, they should want us to leave on our own initiative, what should we do?"

"East Africans don't talk about martial arts! We are just fishing boats, and they have directly sent a naval fleet to meddle in the affairs of the Sakishima Islands, and the great powers are acting too domineering. Seiji Ozawa said very dissatisfied.

At this time, East Africa is very strange to Japan, but Japan still relies on the feeling that East Africa belongs to the ranks of the great powers, although East Africa chooses to hide its strength, but the navy can not hide, as a naval power, East Africa enjoys due treatment in the Far East, especially before Archduke Ferdinand led a complete East African Navy to visit the Far East, many Asian countries know the strength of the East African Navy.

Of course, the East African Navy did not hide its secrets, and the Navy's greatest task was mainly to deter and prevent overseas forces from coveting East Africa; if the East African Navy was not strong enough, wouldn't the East African coast become a backyard for the great powers to come and go as they wanted, just like other countries.

Therefore, Ozawa Seiji did not dare to despise the East African Navy, he gritted his teeth and said: "Now a conflict with the East African Navy is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, although we have the heart to sacrifice our lives for the Empire, but the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, and it is not easy for the Empire to cultivate the Navy, so we can't let the good men of the Yamato nation die here in vain!" ”

"Commander...... Are you willing? ”

"Bastard, we should have taken the initiative to seize the island before East Africa had gained a firm foothold, otherwise we wouldn't be in trouble today!" Seiji Ozawa said unhappily.

"It's not your fault in this regard, it's the misjudgment of those people in the military department, after all, no one would have thought that East Africa would send a whole fleet for a few islands thousands of miles away!"

The South Ryukyu Islands are indeed dispensable for East Africa, but the cost of sending a fleet is quite large, and East Africa may not be able to recover its costs for decades in the future, and there are garrisons here, that is, a bottomless pit, almost only in and out, of course, from a strategic point of view, it cannot be said that East Africa is at a loss, and it has a foothold in the western Pacific, and it can better intervene and safeguard East Africa's interests in the Far East.

"Your Excellency Commander, now is not the time to discuss right and wrong, we must quickly pass the information back to the mainland, and then make plans, even if we retreat now, the military department will not pursue it, after all, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us."

"Alright, give the order to retreat!"

Subsequently, the Japanese command ship gave instructions to the Japanese fishing boats present, and ordered the evacuation of the waters of the Southern Ryukyu Islands through flags and horns and returned to Naha City.

These fishermen in Japan were originally disguised, and after receiving the order, they naturally began to evacuate in an orderly manner, but did things really go so smoothly?

"I'll just say that these so-called fishermen are disguised by Japanese professional soldiers, you see that they will also receive orders and retreat in an orderly manner, and ordinary fishing boats cannot reach such a tacit understanding!" Gleth said happily when he saw the Japanese retreating.

"Your Excellency General, I'm afraid it may not be, look at their left flank, is there a small move!"

Grace looked at the place where his subordinates had said, and sure enough, there was a Japanese army that did not act according to Ozawa's instructions, but acted diametrically opposite.

Seiji Ozawa also discovered the anomaly under his men: "On the left is a person with a high fever Morita, right?" What's the matter with them, call them back quickly? You can hear the instructions wrong! ”

"Your Excellency Commander, this person with a high fever Morita has always been blind and arrogant, and he has always been obedient to your words, I'm afraid he just doesn't want to act according to your orders, the military horn can be misheard, and the flag can't be misunderstood!"

"Bastard, if it weren't for his uncle stuffing him into me, I wouldn't want to look at him squarely, this time he blatantly violated military orders, if he caused irreparable losses, I will definitely not forgive."

"Your Excellency, should we leave him alone, after all, it is our people?"

"Hmph, there is no division for the interests of the empire, and no one is allowed to ignore him if he does not obey the order, and at the same time give orders to his people, they must retreat, regardless of Morita's order with a high fever."

With Seiji Ozawa's order to skip the level, some of Morita's people with high fever finally chose to withdraw, and Morita with high fever still has more than 20 ships under him.

Seiji Ozawa had already roughly guessed what the stard Morita with a high fever was going to do, but now that he was at sea, if Morita with a high fever was obsessed, he would let this second ancestor die.
