Chapter012 Doubt? Realize!
Finally, the last Siren destroyer was sunk by artillery fire.
The roar of the cannon on the sea finally stopped, and the sound of the "whooshing" waves like a melodious piece of music once again took over.
On board the Annapolis, the siren warning that had not stopped before finally calmed down, indicating that the siren crisis had been lifted.
We're safe...... Temporarily.
The human fleet, which had maintained a high speed during the war, also slowed down, and the black smoke coming out of the chimney looked much lighter - Wang Yu put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a while, and still felt that the milky white condensation mist coming from his Miss Anna's chimney was a little more beautiful than the black smoke.
While Wang Yu was watching, the four battleships reorganized their "formation" and formed a sailing formation with heavy patrols in front and light cruisers in the back, and the two expelled on both sides, and then these four battleships continued to slow down, as if they were about to gradually stop their ships.
Is it cleaning the battlefield?
Or specifically stop and wait for yourself?
Wang Yu didn't know, he kept the battleship slow, about ten knots of speed, and leaned towards the position where the four battleships were parked.
The distance gradually shortened, and the figures of the four battleships became larger, at least this time Wang Yu could already see the ship's side number and name clearly.
The stern of the gray-white-black Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser has two whitewashed letters "PE" on the stern, representing the second ship of the class, the Prinz Eugen.
The light cruiser's stern also bears its full name, Helena, and appears to be the tenth ship of the Brooklyn class, the second ship of the St. Louis modification, the Helena.
In the previous world, the Brooklyn-class Helena sank during the Pacific War before the Golden Age of Humanity.
Later, when the Golden Age ended and the Siren Crisis began, humanity began to rebuild the historical gunboats in order to counter the Sirens, the name was reinstated, and the fifteenth warship of the newest Worcester-class light cruiser was given.
Speaking of which, Wang Yu still has something to do with the Helena in the previous world.
Wang Yu, who was still in the military academy at the time, was expected to serve as the first commander of the battleship after graduation, but as a result, the design of the super battleship that integrated various technologies came out, and the relevant person in charge of the Admiralty decided that the high-speed cruiser did not need more 152mm small-caliber guns, so he dismantled the battleship that had been built in half of the battleship and started the construction program of the Annapolis.
After recalling the past a little, Wang Yu continued to look at the two destroyers.
Two Yangyan-class, one named Kagero, the Yangyan-class lead ship.
And the other one surprised Wang Yu very much, the destroyer's ship has four hiragana names on the side of the big book "ゆきかぜ", which translates to Yukikaze, that is, the famous Yukikaze destroyer.
And this Yukikaze is also the only one intact in the current four-ship fleet, after a fierce exchange of fire with the sirens! Everyone was more or less damaged, but this destroyer was still as clean as new!
Seeing the appearance of this battleship, Wang Yu suddenly smiled with relief.
This answered a question that had always existed in his mind.
It's not surprising, it's not surprising.
Doubt? (In this world where the Sirens are not very strong, how could such a small human fleet encounter a Siren fleet that overwhelms them out of thin air?) )
Realize! (They have snow wind in their fleet!) )
Everything was answered.
In the last time and space, the destroyer designed and built by the coalition government Yingzhou directly abandoned the name Xuefeng, and the destroyer designed and built by Huazhou also tacitly did not use the name Danyang......
Now I have to be auspicious and the house is safe.
The Annapolis approached about three kilometers from the location of the four ships, and then instead of approaching, it turned the ship sideways, while its main guns remained in place, indicating that it was not hostile.
Wang Yu pondered how to get in touch with the other party - the failed radio communication attempt a few days ago made him extremely unconfident, and he used a better understanding of the lamp language, but he was afraid that the other party's lamp language system was different and caused misunderstanding.
It's like the last world gave the people of Gaul more than the V-word gesture.
As he pondered, the flash of light outside the porthole caught his attention, and when he looked closely, it turned out that the searchlight near the bridge of the Prinz Eugen was flickering for a long and short time—and Wang Yu recognized it at a glance as the lamp language he was familiar with.
Interpreting the language of the lamp with the naked eye is a compulsory course for every naval cadet.
It is also one of the assessment criteria for becoming a battleship commander.
Wang Yu understands this aspect quickly due to his good memory and thinking ability, and his project results are also among the best.
He estimated that he had missed the first word, so he waited patiently until he saw a series of flashes of the light indicating "the message is over, the light is stopped", and then he slowly replied with a shortcut that represented "repeat".
So the other party re-typed a long list of signals.
This time, Wang Yu understood, and the other party thanked the people he had provided for his help before, and their fleet commander hoped to be able to board his ship.
It seems that because of the previous sword pulling, the other party still has good intentions towards himself, otherwise he would not abandon his home advantage and choose to meet on this battleship.
Wang Yu naturally had no reason to refuse, and he replied with a lantern language.
Then the other party said that it was received and ended the light call.
Wang Yu was ready, he found a mirror to check his appearance, then straightened the clothes he was wearing, put on a rather formal coat, tied a belt, put on the white commander's big hat that he had never worn much, and then prepared for the meeting.
But before coming to the deck, he thought about it and chose to stuff a pistol in the holster on the side of his belt, just prepared.
He saw a speedboat lower from the side of the Prinz Eugen, and then made a straight trajectory on the surface of the sea towards the Annapolis.
Wang Yu nodded, he could see that there were only two figures on the speedboat, and it seemed that the other party didn't want to put pressure on his side with too many people.
I just don't know what the other party will think when he sees that there is no crew on this ship, Wang Yu has already made up his mind, once the other party asks about the specific identity, then he will pretend that he doesn't know anything.
At this time, Wang Yu was a little annoyed, he actually forgot to observe whether there were sailors on the deck of the four warships just now, it was really a mistake, but he didn't have the telescope with him at this time, so he had to give up.
The Annapolis embarkation passage is at the stern, a ladder made of metal poles, and Wang Yu also plans to meet the other party in the large open space at the stern.
Soon, the speedboat approached.
Wang Yu also saw the people on the speedboat clearly, which were two slender figures.
The command of that fleet is two girls?!
To be honest, I was a bit surprised.
Even Wang Yu didn't expect such an unfolding, his eyes followed the speedboat, but unfortunately, there was still a distance, and he couldn't see the people on the speedboat.
Wang Yu decided to wait patiently for the two to come to the deck.
The man in the speedboat also saw him standing on the side of the ship, and went around the ship for half a week to the stern.
The two shadows tied the speedboat to the ladder at the bottom, and then they followed the ladder flexibly upward, and it was obviously not easy to climb the ladder at even a slight negative angle, but the other party seemed to be familiar with the road. That's really extraordinary.
In a moment, the two girls stepped onto the deck.
They went straight to Wang Yu, who was waiting at the stern of the ship.
