Chapter 1294: 1295 is useless
At that time he was already a captain, but at that time he was just the captain of a sailing ship. He was 24 years older than Strauss, the Dornish naval commander at the time, and he was almost fifty at that time. Now he is still the captain, but the captain of Dorne's largest aircraft carrier.
Although he has been promoted and made a fortune over the years, and even became the commander of an aircraft carrier, what he misses most is the days when he was with Straughan.
It's a pity that the young man later left Dorne, and the Dornish heroes became a thing of the past from then on. Many people miss that era, when the Kingdom of Dorne was invincible.
Everything is over. As time goes by, and the sound of the roaring jet engines above our heads becomes more and more loud, the bridge of the aircraft carrier Viva Dorne Empire gradually submerges into the not-so-cold water. .
The sea is right in front of you, but it has never been so ferocious and terrifying. John Cleeves quietly looked at the seawater outside the porthole, letting the seawater pouring in from the gap to cover his feet.
He felt that his socks were soaked, and then his trouser legs were soaked. The sea water swallowed the bridge mercilessly, leaving only the mast on the sea. The radar in the middle of the mast no longer rotates, and the flag above it no longer flutters.
The last trace of air in the bridge was squeezed out by the sea water, and John Cleeves' eyes fell into darkness. The commander of the United Fleet, the commander-in-chief of the Dorne Fleet, reached the end of his life.
"Report! The Long Live Dornish Empire has sunk..." On the bridge of the aircraft carrier Neverwinter, the temporary flagship of the United Fleet, someone reported to Mike Ravel what had just happened.
Because they didn't drive very far at all, even the communication was intermittent. A destroyer confirmed the news of the sinking of the Dornish Empire Hail and informed the Neverwinter of the news.
"They finally sent a message, wishing all warships to escape from this sea area... May the gods bless the Dorne Empire..." The officer stood next to Mike Ravel and recited the message sent by the aircraft carrier Viva Dorne Empire an hour ago. come out.
He just confirmed this message from a message sent by another battleship. When the Dornish Empire Long Live sent the message before, the Neverwinter did not receive it.
This kind of intermittent communication was annoying. Mike Ravel took off his military hat and looked in the direction of the aircraft carrier Long Live the Dornish Empire.
"The Wuyang sent a message... They have lost all power and the aircraft carrier is sinking. They wish us good luck." Another officer came over and reported a very bad news for Mike Ravel .
All 10 aircraft carriers of the Combined Fleet have been destroyed, and all 10 battleships have lost their combat capabilities. Most of the remaining cruisers and destroyers were also damaged, and only a few destroyers escaped in panic.
The control of the sea in the southern seas has been completely lost, and Dorne’s transport fleet may not be able to travel in the southern seas in the future.
What's even more frightening is that if the Tang naval fleet goes south after replenishing supplies and raids the coast of Dorne... things will get completely out of control.
Neverwinter...the entire Talen region, as well as the coast of Goblin...the coast of Dorne...countless developed areas and wealthy cities will be turned into ruins!
Dorne is finished! As long as Tang is willing to take action, Dorne will be set back decades! Countless thoughts flashed through Mike Ravel's mind, and every thought was filled with despair. In Qingluan Port, Sun Guang walked back and forth in the headquarters, his hands were full of sweat. He still didn't know what happened to the combined fleet. It's like suddenly receiving a notification that a family member has been involved in a car accident, and then the phone can't be reached...
"Is there any news about the plane sent out?" This morning, he had asked such a question for the third time. As soon as it dawned, he ordered planes to be dispatched to search the sea areas where the combined fleet might escape.
But the communication interference is still strong, and the planes sent out did not send back any messages. Sun Guang dispatched more than 20 aircraft at one go, including Type 17 bombers and fighter jets. He even asked the Air Force to dispatch two fast 183s.
None of these planes brought back any news, or even returned themselves. No one knew what was going on, so everyone could only wait anxiously.
"Report! Sir!" An officer came to Sun Guang's side and brought what he thought was good news: "General Zhang Xuan agreed to support us. This morning, 20 Type 17 bombers have taken off and are clearing our mountains. Transfer to Hong Kong Airport... Arrive at noon. ”
"It's no use! What's the use of sending dozens of crappy planes at this time?" Sun Guang cursed irritably. At this time, he sent 20 bombers like toothpaste. It's too late!
It has already been one night. If the Tang army can move at night, the combined fleet is already in danger. What use will the planes arriving at noon be? Search and rescue?
“Let the garrison on the fort be on alert!” Sun Guang is the port commander, and guarding the port is his responsibility. With the possibility of losing fleet cover, he can only rely on himself now.
"Yes!" The officer who heard the order quickly left. As for the fact that his superior had just cursed General Zhang Xuan with foul words, he pretended not to have heard it.
"Report!" Another officer hurried over, holding a telegram in his hand: "The telegram from the Hammerhead submarine was intermittent and very disruptive. But they mentioned the Combined Fleet..."
As soon as he reached out and grabbed the telegram, Sun Guang lowered his head to read the contents of the telegram. I saw it read: "Our boat saw... it was on fire... the combined fleet... sank."
This message actually said, "Our ship saw that the battleship HMS Formidable was on fire, and many battleships in the Combined Fleet were sunk."
Unfortunately, the telegrams were intermittent and only part of the content was received. Sun Guang grabbed the message and was about to go into a rage. What the **** is this talking about? This battle is like this, what the **** should we do?
That kind of irritability, restlessness, and inability to deal with it made Sun Guang crazy. He has had enough of this vague report. Who can give him accurate news?
"Continue to generate electricity for the Hammerhead! Aren't they returning? They should be getting closer and closer to here! Confirm with them! Find out what they saw!" Sun Guang almost roared and gave the order: " Increase the power! Anyway, I want to know what happened!"
"Yes! Sir!" The officer quickly turned around and ran to the communications room. What they didn't know was that death had quietly arrived and the disaster had begun.
