Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 520: South China Sea Storm (Part 1)

"Where is our escort, Grazi, send someone to ask." Major General Luis Colliny put down his binoculars and turned his face to the fleet staff behind him and ordered.

"Someone has been sent, Commander!" Lieutenant Colonel Jean Grazi came forward and reported.

"The port side, three nautical miles, two thousand height, three in number." The voice of the observer from the upper observation station came from the microphone.

"The Japanese reconnaissance plane, they should have seen us a long time ago." Colonel Armand, chief of staff of the French Far East Fleet, sat on a high chair on the other side of the navigation bridge, holding a cup of steaming steam in his hand. black tea.

"The patrol plane sent a report that the Japanese fleet has not changed its original course." A captain reported with a telephone receiver.

"We also keep the same course." Major General Corinne raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"The position has been calculated. At the current speed, it will take about twenty minutes before the pilot ship should be able to see the opponent." Grazi reported.

"Don't be nervous, Lieutenant Colonel, just treat this as a combat exercise." Collinney patted the staff's arm, then turned and walked toward the window on the side of the navigation bridge.

"Boss, the fleet replied, thank you, continue monitoring." The radio operator said loudly, holding the driver's seat back.

"Let them talk to the guy outside." The pilot, Ensign Enez, shook his head in the direction of the porthole on the right side of the plane.

At this moment, on the enemy side less than ten meters to the right of the Loire 130 water reconnaissance aircraft, a Japanese Navy Type 96 carrier-based fighter with the red pill logo is flying side by side. The distance between the two sides is this. Recently, the French can even see the expression of the Japanese HNA pilot sitting in the open-air cockpit.

"Hey, Japanese." The watchman standing in the observation deck at the rear of the cockpit waved to the Japanese. As expected by the French, there was no response. The Japanese pilot just turned his head. , Staring at this bold French flying boat with icy eyes.

"Before he makes up his mind to kill us, we are going to leave this place and report to the fleet that we have been driven by a Japanese fighter jet." The pilot turned his face back and shouted to the radio operator.

"This guy looks like he wants to eat us alive." The watcher echoed loudly.

"They like to eat raw, Dominic, and that kind of pungent seasoning." The pilot turned the control wheel while saying witty words, and the eleven-meter-long flying boat began to slide and steer. .

"Is he still following us?" The pilot looked around through the porthole.

"I don't know, I didn't see her here, hell, they are right above us, three fighters, a standard team." The watcher reported loudly.

"Well, let me see, Japanese guys, how close you can follow!" Enes gritted his teeth and slammed forward.

"No, boss, don't be impulsive!"

"My God."

In the exclamation of the crew members, the seemingly clumsy seaplane made an amazing barrel roll. The red-primed boat-shaped belly was exposed to the sun, and then the plane The head sank violently, and Loire 130 began to dive into the sea spirally.

"The Japanese envoy has left for five minutes. The Governor hasn't summoned anyone else?" Klind, the second secretary in charge of foreign affairs, closed the heavy oak door of the office.

"Not yet. This is an emergency. If it is not handled properly, it will have serious consequences. I can feel the pressure on the Governor's shoulders at this moment. No one here can help him." The Governor's Chief Administrative Officer Secretary Linton took off his glasses and put down the documents in his hand.

"Where is the German?" Claude asked.

"The Japanese went to find them first. Sit down, Mr. Klind, there is freshly brewed black tea here." Linton leaned forward and picked up the teapot from the cart beside him.

"Well, let's have a cup and a piece of sugar, thanks." Klind pulled a chair at the round table and sat down.

"The Japanese are playing a dangerous game. This is a rough test of France and even the entire Southeast Asian colonial countries." Linton poured black tea in the teacup rimmed with gold silk.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Before the German Marshal visits Japan, they will not make any reckless actions in Southeast Asia, unless..." Linton put the red tea cup in front of Klind.

"Unless...unless what? Sir." Klind asked curiously.

"Unless they are crazy and want to challenge the whole of Europe." Linton put on his glasses again and picked up the papers on the desk.

"If they really want to do that, they won't send special envoys. This is a gamble, but I don't know who the final winner will be." The chief secretary sneered.

"Attention! Smoke is found right ahead." The lookout shouted loudly, and several high-powered telescopes in the observation post turned at the same time~IndoMTL.com~Xixi, the Eastern Fleet of the Chinese people. "The captain on duty patted his subordinate on the shoulder with excitement, and then picked up the phone on the wall behind him.

"Your Excellency, the French fleet has been found." A major staff officer put down the phone and saluted the commander.

"Yeah." Lieutenant-General Takasu Shiro, who was sitting on the commander's seat at the corner of the bridge, opened his eyes slightly, and then nodded to the staff officer.

"Keep your course!" Captain Tanaka raised his chest and ordered to the helmsman.

"Got it!" the steerer replied loudly.

For this operation, the Japanese joint fleet has also taken out the cost of the bottom of the box. Like the commander title of Takasu Shiro, this fleet is also temporary. All the ships here are from the first fleet. It is the first-class main fleet of the Japanese Navy.

About half a month ago, Takasu was recalled to the military order to report on his duties. It was mainly about the last time that the battle was terminated off the coast of the sea defense port. The navy believed that Takasu's handling was very appropriate, so he was exempt from any punishment and received a military order. Commendation from the Minister.

Immediately he was temporarily transferred to the Wu Zhenshou Mansion, waiting for his superiors to give him a new appointment. He knew that the time would not be long. It is said that King Hiroyuki Fushimi appreciated his performance in that incident and liked him very much. The guys in the personnel department didn't dare to ignore this condition in the section where Kyoji Tominaga was locked in the ship's utility room.

It’s just that the lieutenant admiral did not expect his appointment to come so soon. He was appointed as the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Japanese Joint Fleet. The Japanese government responded to the request of the Siamese government. Siam conducted a week-long friendly visit.
