Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 595 The First Resource Island
Snakeberry Island is indeed not far from Laiya Island.

Two hours after Hood led the fleet on a rapid march, the Royal Navy entered the waters near Snakeberry Island.

At this time, light rain started to fall in the sky, and the sky became even gloomier.

It looks like heavier rain will come soon.

I hope there won’t be strong winds then.

Hood could only pray like this.

Although the battle on Snakeberry Island can be imagined to be simple, bad weather will undoubtedly have a great impact on the fleet's offensive.Fortunately, when we were in the port area, almost all the main ship girls had experienced the almost crazy weather. Sometimes when the war was urgent, they were even forced to attack on windy days. Foggy days, heavy rain, heavy snow and other bad weather were very important to them. For the ship girls, it has almost become the accompaniment of every major battle. I really don’t know why Ella is so nervous and insists on announcing tasks that must be completed in such bad weather.

Hood looked at Snakeberry Island in the distance.

The facilities on Snakeberry Island are very basic.Mining by mirages is often carried out through specialized mining mirages. They do not have very powerful weapons, but they have a very complete mining system.Therefore, the mirages do not need much modern machinery, so they have not developed any independent industry. Everything relies on various weapons evolved from the mother's gene pool to complete a series of development needs.

This kind of non-combat mirage poses almost no threat to the ship girls, but Hood has no intention of sparing them. This is almost impossible, because these mirages belong to the category of low-level mirages in the mirage system. They are all single-minded mining machines with absolute malice towards Sea Soul and humans.

Keeping it can only be a disaster, and Hood, a ship girl who feels she has done all the evil deeds, is very aware of this.

The attack began at ten o'clock in the morning.

That is, shortly after the Hood fleet arrived in this sea area.Repairing takes time, and what they lack most now is time.Regarding the destruction of the main force of Lan Triangle, I don’t know when the West Wind Drift side will receive the news.But what is certain is that as long as the news is received over there, it is certain to send the mirage troops to accept these islands.According to "Sea Anemone", the four islands occupied by the Orchid Triangle are all extremely precious resource islands. Drifting in the west wind will definitely not let them fall into the hands of the Garland Territory.

Compared with the rapid march on the road, the battle process was too simple.

The girls of the Royal Navy unleashed their artillery fire to their heart's content in the heavy rain, and the artillery shells destroyed the few facilities on Snakeberry Island.Soon, the mirages left behind on Snakeberry Island began to launch counterattacks with little power. The caliber of their shells left the ship girls with no idea of ​​dodge.

Oh, except Hood.

Perhaps because of the psychological shadow left by the civil war, Hood would try his best to dodge any shells he faced. If he was killed again due to a moment of negligence, it would be a big joke.

Hood is a proud person, and making the same mistake once is enough for her. If she makes it again, she may not need Bismarck to ridicule her, and she will bury her face in the hair of ginger and fish cakes.

By then, I'm afraid only the paper will still have a trace of warmth... in every sense of the word.

Even when facing a weak enemy, the Royal Navy used its full strength.

In the face of the Royal Navy with full firepower, the remaining mirage troops were quickly defeated.

Half an hour later, Hood confirmed that all the mirages on the island had been wiped out, and then led his fleet to land on the island.

Compared with the islands captured by Jialan Territory before (this does not include Lanbin Island and Laiya Island, these two islands were picked up), Snakeberry Island this time seems much simpler. After all, there is nothing powerful on the island. of enemies.

At this time, the rain fell harder.

Hood looked at the heavy rain. "With this rain, I'm afraid the aircraft carriers won't be able to take off carrier-based aircraft at all." Reputation stood quietly beside Hood, holding an umbrella for the flagship of the Royal Navy.

Wales led others to clean the battlefield.

Because they did not encounter any stubborn resistance, the girls were not injured, but the muddy ground after the rain caused a lot of trouble for the ship girls.

"This is a good thing. It is said that the defenders on Sesame Island are all from the West Wind Drifting 'Flying Fish' unit. Our aircraft carrier cannot release aircraft, and they certainly cannot release aircraft. In this case, the progress on Peanut will be much smoother. ”

"Of course, I really want to see what kind of effective confrontation this world's aircraft carriers can have after being approached by battleships." Reputation is very interested in this. During the port area, the discussions between the ship girls were all about this. And, according to the established attack rules, after the aircraft carriers carry out an opening bombardment, the battleships will give them a hard lesson. Of course, if they do not gain an advantage in the middle, for example, if the aircraft carrier is not judged to be below medium damage, Another round of bombing is inevitable.

"Have you reported to the commander?" Hood turned and asked.

Reputation smiled and said: "I have already reported it. After all, it is our first resource island."

"Coal." Hood looked at this desolate-looking island. The smoke from the artillery fire on the island had not completely dissipated. There were still craters that looked familiar to Hood in some places. They were fired from their main guns. "Unlike oil islands and iron ore islands, I don't have any intuitive feelings about it."

"After all, the only resources we usually come into contact with are fuel and steel." Shengsheng said, "Coal is one of the raw materials of steel, but no one pays attention to the sugar used in bread."

"But it's very important, isn't it." Hood looked at the reputation with confused eyes.

Reputation nodded: "It's very important."

Hood grinned and showed a bright smile: "Then I have to ask the commander for a reward. Resource Island, no matter what, you have to allocate more resources to us, right?"

Shengfu chuckled and said, "Of course."

"I hope Peanut's side will go well." Hood stretched his waist. The mission Peanut was doing at this time was originally supposed to be completed by the Royal Navy, so Hood knew a little about the difficulty of the mission.

This Sesbania Island is a rare island in the vast Violet Sea, and Mirage has also deployed heavy troops on it.In addition to the "Flying Fish" unit mentioned earlier, there is at least a strong Mirage main force.

There is no doubt that it is difficult to attack the island while watching the enemy's air strikes.Of course, the aircraft carrier formation should be providing escort for them now, and compared to the Royal Navy, Peanut's air defense capability is much higher.

Thinking of this, Hood couldn't help being a little jealous.

Originally, she thought that the first one to reach the top of the illustration would be the Royal Navy. After all, they were the first main force formed by the Gloria, but she did not expect that the American ship girls would come from behind.

Peanuts, Constellations, North Carolina, Southern Fatty, Wisconsin, Missouri...

Such a main fleet may be able to fight one against two without the need for aircraft carrier escort.

Hood couldn't help but sigh.
