Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 143 The Existing Fleet Should Be Taken Out for Shopping
A fleet exists.

Although in Huang Jiang's eyes, this tactic seemed a bit ridiculous. It was originally used to fool the enemy, but in the end, it often deceived his own people inadvertently, and the final result was that he was betrayed.

But this does not mean that it is completely useless. At least Huang Jiang is quite happy to use it.After the Battle of Iris Island, Gloria's aircraft carrier fleet almost became an empty shell, but neither most of the forces in the Federation nor the mirage of the West Wind Drift Front knew about it, so Huang Jiang started playing without any psychological burden. There is a fleet.

First, Lexington and Saratoga were widely publicized in newspapers, and then from time to time they were asked to go to the waters near Iris Island to fly carrier-based aircraft for cruising.

This may be one of the reasons why Westerly Drift has not retaliated until now, because the Mirages have become very aware of the power of the Gloria Island aviation force after several consecutive setbacks.

So when Huang Jiang noticed that Mirage expected Huang Jiang to attack Wutou Island, he had already guessed that what Mirage really expected was for Lexington and Saratoga to appear near Wutou Island.

This way they can attack Iris Island without any pressure.

"Aerobatic flying?" Saratoga let go of the wrinkled straw, rested her elbows on the table, and looked at Huang Jiang with doubts on her face, "I have played with Enterprise and the others for a while, but this thing is more advanced. Most of them are used to coax children..."

"Huh? Coax the child?" Huang Jiang was stunned.

"What are you thinking!" Saratoga obviously thought that Huang Jiang was thinking wrongly, and quickly explained, "Aren't there a lot of Essex-level children behind you? They need someone to take care of them, so I can do it when I have nothing to do. Go take care of them, and occasionally make them happy with aerobatics and so on..."

"You have nothing to do... This is not the time for you to take a bath..."

Snapped!
Before Huang Jiang could finish his words, Saratoga's shoes covered his face.

"It's trimming! Normal trimming! Get it?!" Saratoga blushed and put on his shoes.

"Yes, yes, repair, repair." Huang Jiang quickly agreed. It still hurt a little to have ship-grade shoes stuck to his face.

"So, why do you need aerobatics? To show the islanders the capabilities of our aircraft carrier fleet?" This was the first thing that came to Jia Jia's mind, "There won't be many reporters coming to take pictures, right? Yes, but let them Make me look cooler, the last photo I took was too delicate, like a child who hasn’t grown up yet.”

Gaga was furious when she mentioned this, waving her pink fists and threatening to show off the reporter who looked like Leonardo the next time she saw him. She was obviously about the same height as her sister. But why does the result of the photo make it look like I am Lexington’s daughter?

"Isn't it just to make you look like Phelps..."

Saratoga's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Huang Jiang quickly shut up and drank milk tea.

"But this time it's not a performance." Huang Jiang thought for a while and changed his words, "It can also be said to be a performance, but the object of the performance is not a human being."

"Mirage?"

"Yes, yes, Mirage." Huang Jiang nodded, "I need you to show off to Wutou Island with great fanfare."

"Huh? Aren't you going to play Existence Fleet?" Saratoga tilted her head slightly, looking very confused.

"Uh...how do I say this?" Huang Jiang didn't know how to translate his thoughts into words. "So there is a fleet that we can't play with. My sister and I have never played this tactic. Among the American ship girls, maybe only the old ships from Pearl Harbor can play it." Jiajia thought that the tactic failed and was a little frustrated. He said, "To play the existence fleet, it is better to let Tirpitz and Veneto do it. They are the experts at this game."

To be honest, the existence of fleets is often a tactic used by countries whose main fleets are on the weaker side, such as when Germany and Italy faced the Royal Navy in its late heyday.As for the American ship girls, except for the early stages of the war, they spend most of their time detonating troops. They are at an absolute advantage in terms of overall scale. There is no need to play with existing fleets. On the contrary, the Japanese need to think carefully about this. tactics.

"Are you sure Beizhai knows how to play this?" Huang Jiang complained.

Gaga was silent for a while, and had to admit: "It seems that she just played the game at home to achieve such an effect."

"It's not that our tactics failed, but I think it was a great success." Huang Jiang said, "It is precisely because of your existence that the Mirages are afraid of the battle to retake Iris Island. But they are so hung up, for The pressure on Jialan is really too great. The resources consumed by the submarine in the past few days have been close to the cumulative consumption of previous battles. I need to draw out the main force of Mirage."

Huang Jiang raised his hand and clenched his fist: "Then cut off their hands reaching for Iris Island in one fell swoop. Since they don't know that the aircraft carrier fleet does not have aluminum resources to fight, and since they want us to launch operations against Wutou Island, I hope you will show up. On that battlefield, we will use our tactics to our advantage.

"At that time, I hope you will release enough carrier-based aircraft. You don't need all of them. You just need to let the mirages realize that the aircraft carrier fleet has arrived at Wutou Island. And you don't need to attack the mirages on the island. , your task is to let the mirage observing Wutou Island know that you are coming, that’s enough.”

Then Huang Jiang said a lot, such as the momentum should be bigger, and it is okay to throw bombs occasionally to prevent Mirage from seeing that they are not capable of fighting.

Aluminum can be used as little as possible.

"Is it really okay? This kind of flight can easily crash. Even I can't control the speed." Saratoga said with some concern.

"As little as possible." Huang Jiang knew that the aircraft carrier was not a machine after all, and it could easily crash if it was operated too distractedly. Even daily patrols would consume a certain amount of aluminum, not to mention this kind of combat.

"It's better to consume less aluminum than a real attack." Huang Jiang asked. If the aluminum consumption of stunts was higher than that of dive bombing, Huang Jiang might as well really explode.

"Less will still be a lot less." Jiajia calculated and said, "Now most of the losses of our aircraft are caused by not grasping the angle when diving, crashing directly or being unable to pull back. Although there are similar losses in aerobatics, It’s risky, but if you just do those safe moves, there’s no problem at all.”

"That's good." Huang Jiang nodded.

"Actually, my sister is better at this." Gaga said honestly.

"Huh?" This was beyond Huang Jiang's expectation. After all, Jia Jia had far more combat experience than Lexington. He subconsciously thought that Saratoga should be better at this kind of test of flying skills.

Jia Jia scratched her head in embarrassment: "Actually, those children in Essex were pretty bad-tempered when they were just born. Sometimes I had a bad temper, so I always asked my sister to take care of them. That was before the deep sea pollution. When it broke out, before the admiral arrived, everyone was busy criticizing each other. My sister was judged to have sunk and retired because the ship was extensively destroyed. She had more free time than me. However, although my sister who was sunk and retired could still control the aircraft, she was already considered a civilian. It’s embarrassing to think about it now. If the admiral hadn’t come, many of our sisters might never be able to go to the battlefield. Then their lives as ship girls would be meaningless. Moreover, my sister was responsible for comforting her before the sinking. Folks, air show is the most important part, and my sister has even practiced it specially. At least I am not as good as my sister in aerobatics, and I can’t even compare with her in business."

Lexington babysitting and stuff...

Huang Jiang couldn't help but have unreasonable associations.

　Thank you for pointing out my typos. I’ve been doing a lot of Star Wars lately, and it took me a long time to find them (laughs). The most frustrating thing is that sometimes I can’t find where the typos are in the end, and I have to subscribe to my own chapter to read the comment bubbles. In which section (dumbfounding), I am blind, I am blind.
