I built an armada

Just as Liu Huaming left the Beijing Military Region, the confrontation between the Northern Fleet, the Eastern Fleet and the four naval warships on the high seas in the northern waters was about to come to an end.

In the northern waters, 10 kilometers away from the border line, Song Haidong commanded several warships and was waiting.

He still didn't know the situation in the southern high seas. Although he knew that the enemies in front were just in confusion and would not attack easily, he was still very vigilant.

If there is no chaos in the southern high seas, then there probably won't be any chaos here either.

If chaos breaks out in the southern high seas, the outcome will be hard to predict.

In the main control room of 051C, Song Haidong stood by the porthole with big dark circles under his eyes, looking at the faint lights 20 kilometers away.

Under the dark night sky, the warship could not be seen clearly at all, and could only see a few lights flickering there.

"It's been two days, and I don't know what the situation is over there. There's no sign of the other party withdrawing."

Listening to Song Haidong's words, the deputy captain remained silent.

They know what's going on with their own warships.

If the enemy sends a few more warships, this escort operation may be in danger.

As for such an elusive thing as a frontline victory, he had not thought about it.

After all, the known strength is there, so you have to take it easy in your dreams.

"what time is it now?"

"Report to captain, five fifty!"

"It will be daybreak in a while, and this is the time when we are most tired! Please inform everyone and cheer up everyone to prevent the other party from suddenly making small moves!"

Song Haidong warned in a serious tone.

"Yes, Captain!"

At the same time, 20 kilometers away on the high seas, in the main control room of the Asagiri, a group of people were listlessly dazing.

But Captain Makino Hyoucai is not here.

Makino Hyoucai had given the order before, and they came here just to bide their time! As long as the first combat team's affairs are over, they can go home and have a celebration banquet.

Without the pressure of combat, the people in the main control room couldn't muster much energy.

In addition, it took two days, and they were all tired.

A few operators even yawned.

As the first khache sounded, one yawn after another continued to spread.

The whole main control room was filled with sleepiness.

"It's only after five o'clock, and it's not even six o'clock yet! The shift doesn't change until seven o'clock, and there's still more than an hour left. Time is really slow!"

With Makino Hikaru absent, the operators in the main control room did not feel much psychological pressure, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Wait a little longer, it's only more than an hour! I just don't know how long this boring day will last?"

"Yeah, when will it be the end!"

"Why are you talking so much? It's only a matter of these two days. When the time comes, we will all have credit when we go back! It's right to suffer a little here."

Everyone muttered to each other for a while, and their sleepiness disappeared a lot.

"Okay, okay, cheer up. The captain is not here. Let's take a look at each of you. Have you learned anything?"

The deputy captain said immediately.

Everyone shrank their heads and immediately stopped talking.

At this time, the correspondent noticed something unusual and immediately said: "Vice Captain, there is an order from headquarters."

Is there an order from headquarters?

The vice-captain raised his eyebrows. After spending two days here, the results are finally available?

"What did the headquarters say?"

"Vice Captain, General Wada ordered our troops to retreat immediately."

retreat?

Not a return voyage?

The vice-captain frowned slightly.

The meanings of these two words are of course different.

But he couldn't think of a reason after much thought. As for the annihilation of all frontline warships, he had never thought about it.

"Okay, let me know and get ready to go back!"

After finishing speaking, the vice-captain walked towards the lounge.

Outside the captain's lounge, there was a knock on the door.

After a while, Makino Hyou dressed up and walked out.

"what happened?"

"Captain, General Wada ordered us to retreat immediately!"

"The war on the front line is over?" Makino Hyoucai said in surprise.

"I don't know." After a pause, the vice-captain added: "Probably."

Soon, Makino Hyou came to the main control room.

When he saw Makino Hyoucai walking out, the correspondent said quickly.

"Report to the captain, the retreat order has been issued, and all departments are preparing to return."

Makino Hyoucai nodded expressionlessly, and then glanced at the navy in the distance.

"I've given you an advantage this time! I'll deal with you next time."

After speaking, Makino Hyou turned to look at the correspondent and said: "Contact Captain Itou Shuichi of the Yamagiri immediately. I want him to speak."

While speaking, a smile flashed across Makino Hyoucai's face.

He led the second combat team to face off here. Although not a single missile was fired, as long as Itou Shuichi's side was successful, he would also have a share of the credit.

He was naturally very happy to get a piece of credit for nothing.

"Yes, Captain!" the correspondent said immediately.

"Captain." The vice-captain said: "This time Colonel Itou Shuichi has achieved such great achievements. We cannot let him go easily after we return. We will make him bleed!"

"That's natural!"

Makino Hyoucai smiled and said: "We have contained so much of the opponent's power here. If he doesn't bleed, how can he be worthy of our hard work? The confrontation here is very stressful and very hard!"

He said it was hard work, but in fact he felt so comfortable sleeping here these two days, even better than sleeping at the base.

"What's wrong? No news yet?"

Facing Makino Hyoucai's inquiry, the correspondent said.

"Report Captain, we can't contact you!"

"Can't get in touch?" Makino Hyoucai was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself: "Then it might be a silent cruise."

"Yes, after such a big move, we should retreat quietly! If we get caught in the encirclement and suppression of the opposing fighter formation, it will be very troublesome!"

After saying that, Makino Hikai waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is no need to contact you for the time being. We will find out when we return to the base."

"Go home and have a celebration party!"

The vice-captain shouted loudly, and the main control room burst into laughter. The operators who were still sleepy at first were all very energetic and wanted to return to Haizi headquarters immediately.

As the four warships in the sea turned around and prepared to retreat, the radar on the 051C immediately discovered the anomaly.

The radar monitor said immediately.

"Report Captain, the enemy ship is making unusual movements!"

Song Haidong walked over quickly and stared at the radar display for a while.

The deputy captain said in surprise: "Captain, is the other side about to retreat?"

"look like!"

"Did the results come out on the front line?"

"Probably!"

The vice-captain blurted out nervously: "What's the result?"

"how could I know?"

Song Haidong rolled his eyes at him angrily.

He and the other party have been sticking here. If there is any news, both of them know it at the same time.

The other party doesn't know what the outcome will be, so how can I know?

"Why don't you ask the chief? Otherwise, my heart will not be at ease." The vice-captain suggested in a low voice.

Song Haidong frowned and pondered for a long time, then said: "Contact the headquarters to ask about the situation."

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, the order from the headquarters came.

"Report to Captain, call back from headquarters - everything is fine," the correspondent shouted.

The vice-captain couldn't wait to ask: "What then?"

"Gone."

"No more? What does this mean?" The deputy captain looked confused.

If everything was fine, how could the other party retreat?

Could it be that the top leaders of both parties have reached some agreement?

After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.

Song Haidong said: "Inform the headquarters that the other party is retreating. What will our department do next?"

"It's the captain!"

Soon, the correspondent said.

"Report to Captain, the headquarters will let us return in two hours!"

"Didn't say anything else?"

"Report Captain, no!"

"It's weird!"

Song Haidong frowned and paced back and forth.

"Captain, what about us?" the vice-captain asked.

Waving his hand, Song Haidong said: "Let's go back in two hours."

"Yes, Captain!"

Walking to the porthole and looking at the increasingly dim light at the end of the realization, Song Haidong felt very uneasy.

In this case, the two parties reached an agreement, and their own side must have paid a heavy price.

But we can’t contact 052B yet.

Even if something really happened, Jiang Shengrong on 052B probably wouldn't say anything.

Thinking of this, Song Haidong sighed secretly in his heart.

It seems that I can only find out the situation when I get home.

The originally tense situation in the sea suddenly became calmer with the death of four Chinese warships in the southern high seas.

Two hours later, no trace of enemy ships could be seen on the radar display, and Song Haidong ordered the entire army to start retreating.

At noon, Song Haidong returned to the Northern Fleet military base.

As soon as he came back, he immediately began to inquire for information.

However, after working for a long time, he couldn't get any news. Even Xu Dongguo didn't give him any valuable clues.

This made Song Haidong feel agitated.

At around three o'clock that afternoon, two destroyers and two frigates led by Makino Hyoucai also arrived at the Haizi base.

When stepping off the warship, Makino Hyoucai was still mumbling.

"Damn Itou Shuichi, how long has it been since you called me back? Just wait, I have to go to you personally!"

After signing and handing over, Makino Hyou went straight to the combat headquarters.

"General Hotan, General Hotan..."

Before anyone arrived, his shouts had already reached the headquarters.

"Huh? General Wada? Where is the person?"

He looked around the headquarters and did not see Ishita Wada.

"Did you go to rest? It's about time. After two days of busy work, you really deserve a rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a few drops of scarlet blood on the ground.

Walking to the blood stain, he squatted down and stared at the blood stain for a long time, feeling a little more doubtful in his heart.

The headquarters is cleaned every day, so how come there are blood stains?

Immediately, he pulled a Haiji personnel who was cleaning up and asked: "Look at you, you are not cleaning meticulously at all. The blood stains here have not been cleaned up yet! Quickly, clean these up!"

"Hi!"

Just when the other party was looking for tools to clean up, Makino Hyou suddenly asked.

"Whose is this?"

"General Wada's." The other party said subconsciously, then covered his mouth, quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Once he heard that this was Ishita Wada's blood, Makino Hyou felt confused.

"What's going on? Where is General Wada?"

"have no idea!"

"idiot!"

"Colonel Makino Hyoucai, I don't know anything!" After saying that, the other party hurriedly left.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving in a hurry, Makino Hikai almost knitted his eyebrows together.

How could General Hotan's blood be so low here?

It shouldn’t be!

Could it be that General Wada is working too hard?

After leaving the headquarters, he immediately went to look for Ishita Wada.

However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find Ishita Wada.

This made him more and more confused.

What happened?

After some inquiring, he got the shocking news that General Ishita Wada fell ill.

"It's haunted! A great victory on the front line, but General Hotan fell ill?"

At this moment, the deputy captain on the Asagiri found him in a hurry.

"Captain, something happened! Something big happened!"

Makino Hyoucai said with some worry: "General Wada fell ill? I know about this. Maybe he is overworked."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the deputy captain shaking his head repeatedly.

The vice-captain pulled him aside and after confirming that no one was there, he whispered.

"Captain, my friends in the Air Force told me that something happened on the front line! Four warships...all were killed."

"Something happened? What could happen..."

After listening to half of it, Makino Hyou smiled and said.

He was only halfway through his words. After hearing the second half of the other person's words, the smile on his face instantly solidified.

"What did you say!"

Makino Hyoucai's tone changed.

"completely annihilated?"

"Yes, Captain!"

"This...how is this possible! With four warships, the Yamagiri, the Tatōkaze, the Harusame, and the Murasame, joining forces, who's navy in the entire Dongzhou Sea can stop it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Makino Hyoucai shook his head repeatedly.

This situation was beyond his knowledge, and he instinctively didn't believe it.

"You're lying to me!"

"Captain, I didn't believe it at first, but then I asked other people about it! I heard that the air force sent to support almost never returned!"

Hearing these words, Makino Hyou's heart skipped a beat.

"Also, I heard that General Hotan has been controlled."

Makino Hyoucai's mouth twitched sharply.

He thought that the other party was overworked and went to the hospital to recuperate, but he didn't know that he was actually being controlled.

When he thought about the little blood stains he saw at the headquarters just now, and the panic expression of a certain staff member, he suddenly believed most of it.

"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this!"

Makino Hyoucai stood there, his head buzzing and muttering to himself. It was obvious that he could not accept this situation.

He was obviously planning to come back for a celebration banquet, why did it turn into a funeral?

Not only him, but all senior military officers in Haizi who knew the inside story could not accept this fact.

In Murakami Hayaki's office, a mysterious man was sitting in front of him.

"...General Hayaki, the cabinet is very angry, and the shogunate chief is also very angry. They want you to give an explanation!"

Listening to the other party's words, Murakami nodded numbly without saying a word.

The operation was kept strictly confidential and took less than 24 hours from deployment to operation. Unlike the last Congyun incident, two months of continuous warfare would naturally be noticed by interested parties.

The tribes of Blue Star don't know the situation at the moment, but Murakami Hayaki knows that the news of the loss of four warships at once will not last long at all.

When the whole country is in an uproar, Haizi will definitely come up with an explanation.

"Please help me tell the shogunate chief, I will handle this matter!"

The mysterious man nodded and left quickly.

Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Murakami Hayaki's expression was uncertain.

Although after five o'clock, he had sent Shushang Tianfu to inquire about information at all costs, several hours had passed and no valuable information had been returned.

Enemies appear mysteriously like a fog, leaving no clues at all.

Once this matter is exposed, the impact will be very bad, and the status of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe in Blue Star will be severely affected.

Rather than being passively exposed, Murakami Hayaki decided to take the initiative to show off his cards.

Of course, the results remain the same and the content is completely different.

After pondering for a while, Murakami Hayaki sighed helplessly.

"Someone is coming."

"General Hayaki!"

"Bring Inoshita Wada here!"

"Hi!"

Soon, Inoshita Wada was brought over.

Previously, Inoshita Wada was thinking about whether there was room for maneuver in this matter, but he didn't know that after the mission was cancelled, he was taken away immediately.

As soon as he entered the door, Inoshita Wada noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Looking at Murashita Hayaki, he tentatively said: "General Hayaki, have you found out the enemy's situation?"

"Don't worry about this. Someone will be responsible for it."

Murakami Saki said in a cold tone.

As soon as he heard this, Inoshita Wada knew that something was wrong.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

After a long silence, Murakami Hayaki said helplessly.

"Wada-kun, I also want to protect you. But this time, due to your command error, we have suffered heavy losses in Haizi. I will not be able to protect you if I am held accountable by the higher ups."

The other party said so, and Inoshita Wada knew his result in his heart.

"General Hayaki, I understand."

"At that time, I will announce to the public that four warships were accidentally shot due to command errors during this exercise."

A poorly conducted exercise is better than a defeat.

Jingxia Wada said immediately.

"Thank you, General Xie Zaomu, for protecting my reputation."

Immediately, Murakami Hayaki picked up the katana he had kept aside.

"Wada-kun, this katana has been with me for many years. Today I will give it to you. You can go back."

After staring at the katana for a long time, Inoshita Wada felt sad in his heart.

He knew very well what it meant to be given a samurai sword after defeat.

Respectfully taking the katana, Inoshita Wada said solemnly.

"This defeat is my fault alone. Please forgive me, General Hayao!"

Murakami Saki slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, he heard a muffled groan, and then he heard a thump.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Ishita Wada kneeling on the ground, holding a knife in his abdomen with both hands, blood flowing all over the ground, his head lowered and already dead.
