I built an armada

The Donghuang tribe actually sent two warships to pick up the Shanhua. This shows how important the cargo carried in the Shanhua is.

The interception location of option two is only a dozen kilometers away from the maritime boundary line between the two sides.

At this distance, the warships on both sides were swinging left and right, which was too dangerous.

It is dangerous but also has certain benefits. At least the 051C, which has a strike distance of only 55 kilometers, can play its role.

"Which two warships will they be?"

Zhou Qinglei looked thoughtful.

Each complete Eighth Eighth Fleet has eight warships. Although some are strong and some are weak, they are all modern warships.

If you encounter two weaker ships, you still have a chance of winning. If you encounter a strong one, you will be in big trouble.

Immediately, he said to the correspondent.

"Contact 051C Captain Jiang immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

When Jiang Shengrong appeared in the communication channel again, he clearly felt that Zhou Qinglei's tone had become much heavier.

"Captain Zhou, what happened?"

"Didn't your radar detect it?"

Jiang Shengrong glanced at the radar monitor, but saw the other person shaking his head slightly towards him.

"Nothing unusual."

"The Donghuang Tribe has sent two warships to the sea. Based on the other party's sailing path, I deduce that they should be coming to rescue the Shanhua!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shengrong's face changed slightly.

No wonder Zhou Qinglei's tone was so heavy, that's why.

But why didn't our ship's radar detect it?

Before he could ask this question, Zhou Qinglei continued.

"The other party's distance from you is beyond the radar's active detection range! If we continue sailing at this speed, we will meet at the sea boundary."

Jiang Shengrong's heart gradually sank.

2v2 is no longer about the chances of winning, but whether there is a chance of winning.

After all, it is only a short time since our warships entered modernization, while the other party has been immersed in this field for many years.

The tribes in the East Barren Sea are naturally powerful, and many tribes in the East Continent Sea are well known.

"What should our department do?"

"Enter Level 2 combat readiness first just in case! I will contact the chief immediately!"

"I see!"

After cutting off communication, Zhou Qinglei immediately sent someone to report the situation back.

Northern Fleet Command.

Xu Dongguo breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that both 051C and 052B had gone to intercept the Shanhua.

"Two options, no matter which one they are, as long as they can stop the Shanhua from bringing back those equipment!"

No matter why the Shanhua suddenly turned back, as long as the batch of equipment was detained, everything would be easy to handle.

If the Shanhua was allowed to come and go at will, it would be a small matter of embarrassment but a big matter of affecting the construction of an integrated military factory.

Just over an hour later, the security guard came quickly.

"Report to the leader, Captain Zhou sent a secret message."

Will the results be available so soon?

Xu Dongguo was surprised.

According to the originally estimated time, there should be more than an hour left!

Is it possible that the Shanhua gave up its return voyage?

With this in mind, he quickly received the secret message.

After just a glance, Xu Dongguo's face suddenly darkened.

The Shanhua was still rushing back like a dazed young man, with the coast guard ship chasing behind, and 051C and 052B cutting off the retreat. But at this moment, two warships from Donghuang Tribe arrived!

"Okay, I get it."

Xu Dongguo waved his hand, indicating to the guards that they could leave.

Holding the message in hand, Xu Dongguo paced back and forth in the room.

A good interception, heading towards an encounter.

"The situation is now clear. The Shanhua suddenly turned back, probably on Haizi's order. Otherwise, Haizi's warships would not have appeared there by such a coincidence."

Xu Dongguo had already guessed that it must be the Navy Day in the morning that aroused the vigilance of the Donghuang tribe.

The appearance of the eight Murasame-class guided missiles was only the first step in the counterattack. Following the clues, it was discovered that the Shanhua was secretly transporting high-precision confidential equipment and intercepted it, which was the second step in the counterattack.

"Did our side succeed in intercepting it first, or did the other side respond first?"

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed directly.

Soon, the call came through.

"Chief, we have a major military intelligence report."

Liu Huaming, who was on the other end of the phone, saw Xu Dongguo's serious tone and immediately said, "Did something happen to the Shanhua?"

"Yes, Chief! Two warships have been sent from the opposite side to respond! Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, we will encounter the other side at the sea boundary!"

"Sure enough, something happened!" Changing the topic, Liu Huaming continued: "How much equipment is there on the Shanhua?"

Obviously, even Liu Huaming was a lot more cautious in the face of possible conflicts.

After all, the other party is not the Iron Monkey Tribe.

"Although we have made different plans in advance, there are also a lot of important equipment on the Shanhua."

"essential?"

"Yes, Chief!"

When Xu Dongguo finished speaking, Liu Huaming was obviously silent.

The matter was so important that Xu Dongguo could not make the decision alone and could only let Liu Huaming make the decision.

After a while, Liu Huaming finally spoke.

"As long as it is still within our waters, stop the Shanhua at all costs!"

At present, the navy's foundation is not enough to have a direct confrontation with the Donghuang tribe in the sea. After all, it is on the sea, and the army cannot support it. The air force support takes time.

He has made a lot of determination to make such a decision.

Xu Dongguo also knew this, but he still asked: "Chief, if the situation really develops to an irreversible point."

"Then show your sword! 2V2, with a 052B here, we still have a chance of winning!"

Liu Huaming didn't even ask Xue Yunzhi for instructions this time, because he knew that the other party was not from the Iron Monkey Tribe. If he really had a head-on confrontation, he would have to pay a high price, and the possibility of the superiors agreeing was very slim.

However, the Navy Day live broadcast for the whole country was only held in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was overwhelmed by two warships from the East Barren Tribe Sea. Not only was the whole day's work in vain, morale was reduced, and the people's confidence in the navy was also lost. , the situation will become even worse.

The arrow had to be fired, and he was mentally prepared to bear all the responsibilities if something went wrong.

"Chief, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dongguo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Immediately, he contacted Xiao Chongjun and asked him to send 956E out immediately. He also contacted Song Haidong, who was commanding 051C to go to the southern fleet, and ordered him to immediately change direction and take charge of supporting Zhou Qinglei and others.

These two are the closest, and it will be too late to mobilize warships and submarines from the Northern Fleet to catch up.

Obviously, Xu Dongguo has prepared for the worst.

All the warships the navy could afford were sent out.

After doing all this, he immediately sent someone to contact Zhou Qinglei.

After learning the situation, Zhou Qinglei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He could clearly feel that the navy was getting tougher and tougher now. It's just that his background is a bit lacking, otherwise he would definitely be more tough.

With the chief's instructions, he felt confident.

Immediately, he said to the correspondent: "Notify Captain Jiang to continue moving forward at full speed! Next, 051C will cooperate with our operations!"

"Yes, Captain!"

As time passed, the Murasame, which was moving at full speed in the waters of the Eastern Barren Tribe, also discovered anomalies.

In the main control room, the correspondent said to the captain Kitahara Sosuke.

"Report to Captain, the radar detected a mysterious ship 75 kilometers northwest of our ship, with a speed of 31 knots and a heading... According to inference, this should be the opponent's warship!"

Kithara Sosuke raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't expect that the other side would move so quickly and actually send warships to intercept the Shanhua.

"As expected of us being old rivals for many years, we all thought of it together!"

"Captain, do you need to report it?"

Kithara Sosuke shook his head and said casually: "It doesn't matter, now our Murasame and Harusame are dispatched together, they only dispatched one warship, how dare they act randomly?"

"In the waters of Dongzhou, no navy of any tribe can compete with us!"

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face: "When the radar on the other side's warship detects us, we will probably run faster than when we came!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the radar monitor continued: "Report to the captain, a second warship has been discovered..."

Kithara Sosuke didn't even look at it, and continued: "Not to mention two warships, even if they send the Northern Fleet or the Eastern Fleet, it will be useless!"

"The order I received is to take the Shanhua back! It's useless for anyone to come! Do you understand?"

The deputy captain whispered: "Captain, do you really not need to report it? What if the military department blames it..."

Before the other party could speak, Kitahara Sosuke suddenly shouted coldly and said: "Baga!"

Giving the other party a fierce look, he continued: "As long as we are on the Murasame, the entire ship must obey my orders!"

"Hi!" The vice-captain lowered his head and suddenly stopped talking.

"Go ahead and move on!"

Half an hour later, the radar correspondent reported that the two warships on the opposite side were still traveling according to the inferred route, but Kitahara Sosuke was indifferent.

Another half hour passed, but the result was still the same. Kitahara Sosuke frowned slightly.

He glanced at the distance between the two sides and felt a little puzzled.

"The distance between us is only 50 kilometers now. They should have discovered us! Why are they still moving forward?"

"Captain, is it possible that the active detection range of the radar on their warship is less than 50 kilometers?" the deputy captain whispered.

"This is a possibility!" Kitahara Sosuke said thoughtfully, and then changed the topic: "Forget it for now, tell the Shanhua to speed up! If this continues, the other party will intercept the Shanhua in front of us! "

"yes!"

In the main control room of the Sanhua, after the radio operator reported the situation, Nohara Araki, who had been happy for more than two hours, suddenly became unhappy.

Just now he was arrogant, he could come and leave this sea area whenever he wanted.

Now that he knew that the opponent's warship was planning to block him in front, his face suddenly fell.

"Fast? Our Shanhua is a medium-sized cargo ship, not a warship. It can reach a speed of 15 knots under full load, which is already quite fast! How much faster can it be?"

The third officer in charge of observing the radar said urgently: "Captain, two suspicious targets were found 30 kilometers northeast! The speed is 31 knots. They should be the warships that Colonel Kitahara Sosuke mentioned!"

"What! So close to us!" Nohara Shinshu asked quickly: "How far are we from the sea boundary?"

"Captain, there are still 35 kilometers!"

"35 kilometers?"

Now, Nohara Shinshu was really anxious.

Just now he thought 15 knots was very fast, but now he found it too slow and wished he could give the Shanhua some wings.

Before he could react, the third mate said again: "Captain, there is movement from behind!"

Nohara Shinshu came up to take a look, and immediately discovered that two targets were coming towards this direction at a speed exceeding the speed of the coast guard ship.

He knew without guessing that this must be a Coast Guard fast support boat.

The radar was too far away to detect it before, but now two fast support boats are coming over.

"Captain, in more than half an hour, the other party will catch up with us."

Nohara Shinki was in a state of confusion.

No matter how you look at it, this situation seems unbreakable. The only hope now is Haizi's warships.

"Contact Colonel Kitahara Sosuke immediately and report the situation!"

"yes!"

After learning about the situation, Kitahara Cangjie's expression became as heavy as water. He had a premonition that it was too late.

The situation was a bit unexpected, which made him very unhappy.

"Captain, what should we do?" the deputy captain asked.

"keep going!"

"captain!"

"Baga! Keep going!"

"Hi!"

Half an hour later, the Shanhua was only 21 kilometers away from the sea boundary.

At sea, under good weather conditions, the human visual limit can see about 22 kilometers away.

Standing in the main control room, Nohara Shinshu could already see the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe at the end of his sight.

But these 21 kilometers have become a natural chasm.

Within his sight, two warships lay across the front.

Less than 5 kilometers away from the Shanhua, two fast support boats were speeding towards the rear.

This time, the Shanhua was unable to fly.

"Captain, what should we do?" the first mate asked urgently.

Nohara Araki was equally anxious.

Once he is detained, he will definitely be held accountable by Haizi when he returns to the Donghuang tribe in the future, and his end will be unpredictable.

But if you don't dare to rush into it without hesitation, will the other party fire? He really didn't dare to gamble.

He had heard how ferocious the opponent's navy was. In the past, when the warships were inferior, they would dare to directly ram the warships of third-party tribes. The struggle was not to be afraid of death, and the struggle was to see who would give in first.

"Report to Colonel Kitahara Sosuke and wait for instructions!"

At this moment, 052B is lying across our own waters, only about 10 kilometers away from the sea boundary! The two warships on the opposite side were only about 10 kilometers apart.

There is no need to look through military telescopes now. Both sides can see each other's warships in the main control room.

The feuds finally meet on the sea.

In the 052B main control room, the radar monitor said.

"Report to the captain, the enemy is still advancing!"

"I understand." After saying that, correspondent Zhou Qinglei said: "Tell the Coast Guard to move quickly, we are in charge here!"

"Report to Captain, the enemy is still advancing! It is only 20 kilometers away from our unit!"

"Report Captain...there are still 19 kilometers!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qinglei said slowly.

"Notify the entire army to enter the first level of combat readiness!"
