Chapter 2189: The Revenge Operation Begins!
Marshal Medusa looked down at the commanders of the carrier battle groups from Naval Headquarters.
Several commanders looked visibly nervous, because they were all well aware of the situation.
This meeting is to finalize the selection of personnel for the next revenge plan.
Only the commanders of the JF-17 second carrier battle group, who knew for certain that they would not be selected or would definitely be selected, were much more at ease.
"His Majesty the Emperor has approved our action plan."
Today I will announce the missions that each carrier strike group will be carrying out next.
The JF-17 carrier battle groups 1, 4, 5 and 9 will remain in the JF-17 kingdom to undergo the next phase of fleet upgrade and modification.
The commander of the selected fourth carrier battle group covered his face, a helpless expression on his face.
I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad.
The good news is that her fourth carrier battle group, consisting of JF-17 Thunder fighters, can now undergo upgrades and modifications.
Sadly, they weren't included in this first phase of the operation plan.
The two commanders of the JF-17 Fifth and Ninth Carrier Strike Groups were not surprised, after all, the damage to their carrier strike groups was such that it would not be possible to restore them to their full combat strength in a short period of time.
Therefore, missing this operational plan is entirely understandable.
Next, the remaining people all stared at Marshal Medusa.
"The JF-17 sixth and tenth carrier battle groups will remain at home."
"Responsible for patrolling the waters surrounding the Dragon Kingdom and the waters surrounding the Northwest Continent!" Marshal Medusa's words fell.
Some people cheered and pumped their fists, while others slumped helplessly in their chairs.
"The second, third, seventh, and eighth JF-17 carrier battle groups must complete their preparations within three days."
The interstellar warships lost in previous battles will be directly replenished to you from the existing warships of other fleets!
"Is there a problem?" Marshal Medusa stood up.
The commanders of the four carrier strike groups also stood up.
"Please rest assured, Marshal, we guarantee that we will set off on schedule!"
The next three days.
The entire navy is preparing for this expedition, and all resources and warships are being prioritized for them.
Ensure that these four carrier strike groups can be deployed as scheduled.
The missing warships were readily replaced by the carrier battle groups that remained, who readily contributed their own warships.
The sailors and soldiers who originally worked on these warships shared information about the warships they worked on with the people who came to take over.
"Everything about this battleship is written in the documents."
I also specially assigned a few adjutants with good memories to you; they know the general situation of this battleship.
If there's anything you don't understand, just ask them.
"Oh, right." The captain looked at the bridge in front of him, somewhat reluctant to leave.
He seemed to have thought of something else and said, "Oh, right."
I remember the first main gun had a slight problem with its turning, so it was a bit slower.
Turning 90 degrees will make it five seconds slower than other main guns.
"And the engine."
When your speed is 25.5 knots, you will feel a kind of jerking sensation.
Try not to stay at this speed for too long. When crossing this speed, you can accelerate in advance.
..."The captain told the other party all the minute details as if he were talking about his own child.
The captain who came to take over did not underestimate these messages; he had already filled half of his brand-new notebook with information.
This kind of situation is also happening on other warships.
The handover was completed quickly.
The original crew of the battleship stood on the dock, saluting the departing warship.
"May you return in triumph!"
"Go for it! Give those guys a good beating!"
One by one, the warships, after being repainted, retained their original hull numbers but now had the number of the active fleet added in front of them, and joined the various carrier battle groups.
To complete the combat sequence of these carrier battle groups.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The four carrier strike groups completed their final assembly three hours ahead of schedule.
Under Admiral Medusa's orders, four carrier battle groups set off towards the Central Sea Islands.
Zhao Chen stood at the highest point of Xiaolong Royal City, gazing at the departing warships.
Regarding the news of four carrier battle groups setting sail.
There was no ceremony held, nor was any statement made to the public.
Despite the recent large-scale actions, some people in the public who have access to these industries have guessed that the Dragon Kingdom is about to make a big move.
However, none of the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom responded to these speculations; they all remained silent.
The four JF-17 carrier strike groups maintained a distance from each other and sailed in the sea for ten consecutive days.
We have entered the territory of the Central Sea Islands.
You can see that the sky here is gray and hazy.
Due to the presence of numerous volcanoes and their geographical features, the Central Sea Islands are often shrouded in clouds and mist.
Therefore, even though the Kingdom of the Dragon now has the ability to launch some satellites, it still cannot take pictures of the Middle East Islands.
This is why the Dragon Kingdom was completely unaware of the Doyle Empire's massive actions.
Bridge of the flagship of the JF-17 second carrier battle group
The bridge of this flagship ship underwent some modifications.
Before setting off, an area was converted into a command post.
That's the position of Marshal Medusa.
She looked at the nautical chart in front of her.
The sea area in front of them was very rough because they had not actually measured the islands in the middle of the sea.
These are all nautical charts pieced together from various merchant fleets.
Marshal Medusa was tasked with drafting their next battle plan on this nautical chart.
"Have all the submarines been deployed?" Marshal Medusa asked the commander of the Second Carrier Strike Group beside her.
She was in charge of commanding this carrier battle group and also served as Marshal Medusa's deputy.
"They've all been sent out."
According to the distances to the islands marked on the nautical chart.
"The fastest we can expect to receive a message is a day later." The deputy commander's finger hovered over the islands.
Their first step was to find the enemy.
Determining the exact locations of these islands will affect future battles.
Otherwise, fighting in a place with completely unfamiliar terrain is inherently a very risky act.
Because we are getting closer and closer to the islands in the middle of the sea.
Therefore, the four carrier battle groups also slowed down and tightened their formation.
Meanwhile, reconnaissance aircraft are dispatched to conduct reconnaissance in the surrounding area 24 hours a day.
Make sure you don't encounter the enemy fleet or get discovered by the enemy.
soon.
The first useful message was sent back.
The deputy commander marked several islands on the nautical chart.
"There are five islands in this area, three of which are very small."
The area is probably less than one square kilometer.
The estimated areas of the other two islands are 1.5 square kilometers and 15 square kilometers, respectively.
Traces of human habitation were found on both the 1.5 square kilometer and 15 square kilometer islands.
One of the islands, covering 15 square kilometers, has a military garrison, a port, and an airstrip.
However, whether the garrison is from the Doyle Empire that attacked us before is still unknown!
Afterwards, as intelligence reports were relayed back one after another.
On the nautical chart in front of Marshal Medusa, many more markings gradually appeared.
This time, Marshal Medusa brought several professional surveyors with her. They could draw up as many detailed nautical charts as possible based on the information reported back by the submarines.
Marshal Medusa stared at the nautical chart.
Not long after.
Another important message has arrived.
A submarine has discovered a large island with an area of over 300 square kilometers!
It has a large port and an outer anchorage.
Furthermore, we discovered that at least fifty warships of various types were stationed in this location.
These warships are the same type as the ones that attacked us before!
It's confirmed that it's the same group that attacked us before!
