Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 598
The rain gradually stopped.

Although this sudden heavy rain failed to completely extinguish the flames of war on Leia Island, it also made the originally hot air here much fresher.

Where did the "Flying Fish" unit that was stationed on Sesame Island and once provided air cover for the main force of the Lan Triangle go?Lexington didn't think about this for long before he came to a very logical conclusion.

Snakeberry Island.

If there is anything more attractive than Laiya Island, it is the coal mine island closest to Sejing Island.Mirage, Sea Spirit, and Ship Girl all have their weapons that consume resources to function properly. So even though they lived a paradise-like life without having to worry about resources when they were in the port area, the Ship Girl didn't care about resources. He still has very keen senses.

In contrast, the Mirage Group, which is not as developed as the Human Federation in the smelting industry, has a greater demand for resources, especially steel. They must waste more raw materials to produce steel that meets the requirements for armed repairs. Therefore, the demand for iron ore and coal mines is far greater than that of humans.

After almost knowing the enemy's movements, Lexington immediately informed Akagi.

The aircraft carrier formation sets off immediately.

Now that the rain has stopped, the aircraft carriers have also restored their combat capabilities. At the same time, the mirages of the "Flying Fish" troops have naturally regained their combat capabilities. When they arrive at Snakeberry Island, it is inevitable that the Royal Navy will join there. conflict.Lexington knew that the experienced Hood, Reputation and others were not afraid of these attacks from the air. Compared with the carrier-based aircraft of the "Flying Fish" force, the deep-sea black-tech aircraft were more oppressive.

However, from the perspective of combat radius, battle cruisers will often be at a disadvantage when facing aircraft carriers. If the aircraft carrier cannot be found and breaks through the enemy's protective circle in a short period of time to interrupt the aircraft carriers' attack, then The battle patrols could only fall into the embarrassing situation of being passively beaten.The air defense capabilities of Hood and others are slightly weaker than those of the American ship girls, so even if it does not cause too much damage, Lexington does not want Hood and the others to collide with the mirage's air strike force. It's like wasting the resources of Jialan collar in vain.

Now that the aircraft carriers have set off, the West Virginia group will definitely follow them to escort them.

However, this time the aircraft carriers did not need so many people to operate. The Hornet, Eugen, Bismarck, Richelieu, and Veneto stayed on Leia Island to prevent emergencies from causing the shipmates outside to lose this precious ship. sea ​​springboard.

At this time, news of the American Star Destroyer Fleet came through.

Not surprisingly.

They easily captured Tianjing Island with almost no cost, and also instantly seized a large amount of resources on the island.The most valuable of them is the aluminum resource.

At least in the short term, aircraft carriers don’t need to worry about running out of aluminum.

Huang Jiang was also very happy after learning that Tianjing Island had come under his own control. This also meant that the core area of ​​the entire Violet Sea had been completely controlled by the Jialan Leader. By then, he only needed to capture Anzu in the north. Island and Madder Island to the south, Huang Jiang no longer needs to worry about Violet Island, now the administrative center of Jialan Territory, facing the threat of mirage.

Coupled with the news that Hood had successfully recovered Snakeberry Island, Huang Jiang was in a good mood and decided to summon a few more ship girls. There was no need for a main attack team, but only light patrols or expulsions that could station a force on an island. enough.Their most important task is to be stationed on various islands in the Violet Sea, connecting the power of each island to form a dynamic defense network to resist the invasion of mirages.

At the same time, although the battle situation ahead is far from clear, and the whereabouts of the main Mirage force are still unknown, the necessary preparations for the Jialan Leader should also be made, especially the preparations for mining.Because Jialan Ling does not have much experience in controlling resource islands, Huangjiang needs to be more prepared to deal with various emergencies at any time.

At this time, the "Sea Eagle" troops who were leading the army to Snakeberry Island did not know that their hometown had been stolen.She would never have thought that the powerful main force left behind on the island would have their communications interrupted by the sophisticated Peanut and others before they even had time to issue a warning.Of course, as one of the better generals among the "Flying Fish" troops, "Sea Eagle" is sufficiently cautious.Although it was not believed that the main human force on Leia Island would march to attack Snakeberry Island regardless of the exhaustion after the war, the "Sea Eagle" still sent out her reconnaissance plane.

The reconnaissance plane did not return any information.

But this is enough.

Regarding those strange alien sea souls in the Jialan Territory, "Haiying" had a very full understanding before the war, because if nothing else happens, these powerful guys are likely to be the "Flying Fish"'s most important targets in the future. The enemy is a presence that we are in contact with all day long.If we do not fully understand the composition and some specific attributes of the Jialan Territory Sea Soul Force, then even if the attack using carrier-based aircraft is successful, the losses will be huge.

Not to mention that the Gloria Territory has the most widely recognized aircraft carrier force, just those main forces that look very powerful are enough to cause a headache in the eyes of the "Sea Eagle".

Compared to the Sequence Sea Spirits, which are not well protected against air attacks, these alien sea spirits from the Gloria Territory can be said to be top air defense experts. The previous "Flying Fish" squad that attacked them from the air was not even a bit cheap. Taken for granted, their anti-aircraft guns are different from the crude equipment on their own mirages. Both the rate of fire and ammunition are specially modified for aircraft. Their lethality against carrier-based aircraft can be said to be the top level in the world.

And when their reconnaissance plane was shot down, it was obviously not their fault. They usually didn't care about the situation in the sky. At most, they raised their heads and sighed at the "Flying Fish"'s weapons.

Snakeberry Island has been occupied by the enemy.

This is not good news for the "Sea Eagle". It is already very risky to set off on a rainy day. It is entirely because I am worried that if the enemy attacks Sejing Island if I stay on Sejing Island, I will be in vain because I cannot release the carrier-based aircraft. Losing such a battleground and being unable to disobey the orders from above, the "Sea Eagle" took the risk of going out on rainy days.

But now, Snakeberry Island has been overtaken by others. Fortunately, the rain stopped at the right time. Otherwise, the "Sea Eagle" would have no choice but to retreat, not only wasting its own resources in vain, but it is also very likely that it would be in trouble. Halfway back to the port, the main force of Laiya Island, which was almost repaired, was blocked at sea.

Suddenly, "Haiying"'s heart palpitated.

Then, the mirage on the side told her a very bad news.

The insurance left on the island was broken.

This mirage's ability is not to click on the carrier-based aircraft like other "Flying Fish" members, but to leave one of its own aircraft at a location to judge the safety of the location, which is the so-called insurance.

The insurance was broken, which meant that Tianjing Island was attacked.

However, at this time, the "Haiying" still had not received any news from Sejing Island.
