Chapter 758 The Last Tea Island
"It should be almost there."

Missouri stood on the rocks on the west coast of Zeeland. The island was filled with smoke, the remains of the mirage slowly began to disintegrate under the sunlight, and the entire shoal was filled with a faint purple mist.

With the resources brought to this point, only Tea Island has not yet been captured.

Zeeland is a coal island, but because the main force of mirages on the island has been wiped out by the Peanut Fleet in the last ambush battle, even if the mirages stick to the island, they no longer have any ability to resist. Missouri and the others The falling of the shells already represents the end of the mirage's rule.

With the fall of Zeeland Island, the last three islands in the Orchid Triangle have all returned to Gloria. In a sense, they are finally reunited with Snakeberry Island, which is also a member of the Orchid Triangle.

"The rest will be hard on you." Wisconsin said to the two destroyers on the side.

Thatcher and Sigsby are both Fletcher-class destroyers, two of Fletcher's many sisters, because Fletcher has too many sisters, so except for some preferred commanders, it's fine A commander will pay special attention to their presence.Although the resource belt is still a battlefield, it is far away from the front line of direct contact with the West Wind Drift, so the battle task is not heavy. Only two destroyers are needed to complete the defense of the island.

Peanut and the others have completed their mission, and now it is Thatcher and Sigsby's turn to wait for the construction team of the Garland Steel Group to move in.Because coal and iron ore are both indispensable raw materials for the production of steel, Jiagang attaches great importance to these two resource islands and even formed a special construction team.The construction team responsible for Zeeland should be on their way now.

Because of the crisis in Tulip Collar, the number of workers from Tulip in the entire Jialan Collar has increased sharply, including many skilled workers and excellent engineers. Jiagang, as the largest group in Jialan, is also the one that recruits the most workers, in addition to skilled iron-making workers. , this time there should also be faces from Tulip Collar in the construction team.

In the time it took to speak, the Peanut Fleet was almost in repair.After the normal battle, except for South Dakota who took a few shells for some indescribable reason, the other ship girls were not seriously injured.But no matter what, they have been running around in this sea area for more than a month and almost two months, and it is time to go back and repair.

It just so happened that Zeeland Island was not far from the Violet Sea, so it wouldn't take much effort to go directly back.

"Okay, we should leave." Wisconsin glanced at Peanut, who was gathering troops on the sea, and said to Sigsby, "The rest will be left to you."

"Is there an attack mission? Is it so urgent?" Sigsby glanced at it and asked curiously.

Wisconsin shook his head slightly, and then nodded quickly: "Yes and no. This time we went back to repair, but there are still combat missions later, so the time for repair is very precious."

"Where are you going next?"

"Back to Lily of the Valley," Wisconsin said. "The submarines that followed the 'Leaf Fish' troops into the waters of the West Wind Drift Front reported the whereabouts of the latest mirage main force."

"They are coming to Suzuli Island??" Sigsby was shocked because her sisters were all near Suzuli Island.

"Not necessarily." Wisconsin said.

"It should be said, not all." Missouri added, "What we are worried about now is the division of Mirage's main force."

In fact, the main force of Mirage is not only the group of Mirage originally brought out from the resources, but also the main force from Blue Flower Ginseng Island. "Anglefish" is very smart, and she is well aware of the unpredictable impact on her rule if the resources in the resource belt, especially the aluminum resources, are lost by the westerly drift.

Or to put it further, she should think about the consequences of letting Jialan obtain the resource belt.Therefore, it is an established fact that the main mirage troops of West Wind Drift will attack the buffer zone in large numbers. The only thing worth guessing is where they will attack.No matter how you deduce it, there are two directions that can never be avoided. One is the direction of Tea Island, which is the area around Biangan Island and Maixian Ong Island, and the other is the direction of Suzuland Island. These two sea areas can be directly connected. To the tea island.

No matter what, the first goal of Mirage's main force must be to rescue Tea Island, that's for sure.At most, the directions and approaches are different.

The direction where Peanut and the others are stationed is the direction of Suzuran Island.

"If the main force of Mirage comes over, I don't know if our troops are enough." At the same time, Rodney was also very worried and discussing the next war with Huang Jiang.

Huang Jiang rubbed his temples, left the desk that made him feel depressed, and sat on the sofa.Looking at Rodney's graceful figure with blond hair by the window, he felt a little more comfortable.

He sighed and said slowly: "The most important thing is that the encirclement on the Tea Island has dragged the two fleets of Tirpitz and Hood there, which makes it difficult for me to mobilize the main force to be on the buffer zone. Fully deployed. So I plan to launch a round of cleaning operations on Tea Island in the next few days."

"Cleaning operation?"

"Well, it is impossible to eliminate the tea island mirage in a short time. We have to wait until the aluminum smelting plant and the oil refinery are initially mature and have sufficient resources and logistics before we can have the ability to destroy the tea island at once." Huang Jiang Thinking about it, he said, "But this doesn't mean that we can't have any activities before returning. The mirage mother body cannot be blown up for the time being, so we will bomb other facilities on the tea island to kill as many mirages as possible. The mother body Producing mirages requires consuming resources, and now that the tea island's resource supply has been cut off, they only rely on inventory resources to maintain their situation. Our cleaning will make their situation worse."

Rodney was enlightened and said: "In this case, the Mirage commander on the island has only two choices, either to make a desperate move and concentrate his troops to break out while he has sufficient resources. This means abandoning the tea island, which requires enough courage. , and this plays into our hands. Or if they continue to retreat, our consumption will gradually erase their original strength advantage, and when the resources are exhausted, the tea island will collapse without attack. "

"The premise of the latter is that Chadao has no support." Huang Jiang said, "Whether she plans to be reckless or continues to be cowardly, I can accept it. I am relaxed about the former. If she really chooses to continue to retreat, our consumption can also be To reduce our encirclement pressure, we may be able to squeeze out one or two main troops and let the second-line troops fill the encirclement."

"Right." As Rodney nodded, he changed the topic and mentioned the recent actions of Tulip Collar, "Governor Milton seems to have met with the head of the Lann family. According to our informant's report, it may be about Something about leasing more islands.”

"Remove the possibility that this information was given to us intentionally by Milton." Huang Jiang said.

"Then this is..."

"It's true. Milton wants to bring in the power of the Lann family to check and balance the rising power of Jialan in the Tulip Territory. Don't worry about it. The agent we supported ourselves didn't want the Tulip Leader to cause trouble. He I am willing to weaken my own dominance by myself, and I am happy to see the result." Huang Jiang laughed dumbly, "This wave has made the road to the rise of the Lanen family smoother, and we should also discuss it. How to deal with this matter? Add fuel to the fire so Rann can charge for us."

Huang Jiang said, looking at the contact list in the sea fog, and his eyes fell on Sartre's position.

I'm afraid he is also thinking about how to support the Bolan family now.

I wonder if the hammer named Lann will be able to break the shackles of the ancient governor on the emerging forces.
