Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 292 Foggy Day
In the early morning of this day, thick white fog enveloped the waters of Jialan.

On Iris Island, at first glance, everything is covered with white fog. The pier is completely shrouded in white fog. Only some towering buildings can be vaguely seen. If you look far away, you can no longer see anything.

He lowered his head and stretched out his hand. He could only vaguely see his palm in the mist. The smoke was lingering on his fingertips, as if he was stretching out of some fairyland.

On this day, Huang Jiang came to Iris Island. He did not take Lexington with him, but was accompanied by Bismarck.

Tirpitz yawned and followed behind. She was sleeping in, but her violent sister carried her and the quilt to the dock. Now that she was out, Huang Jiang couldn't let Huang Jiang see her untidy appearance in her pajamas. Well, although Tirpitz didn't mind this, he still had the shyness of a little girl after all.

After changing clothes, the Huangjiang boats also entered the harbor with fog lights on.

"Do you really want to serve in these days?" Bismarck led the way and asked for no reason.

Huang Jiang did not answer, but asked with concern: "I heard that you didn't finish taking a bath, and you came out of the bathhouse before your injury healed?"

When he said this, Huang Jiang frowned slightly. He was not angry, but he felt a little guilty after all. Bismarck was injured because he completed his blocking mission, but now he was injured in order to complete the flagship mission he gave her. The injury was not cured, so he returned to Iris Island to take up his post.

"The ship's equipment has been able to operate normally, and the remaining injuries will not be a problem." Bismarck said with a smile, "It can be cured by self-healing. The defense tasks here on Iris Island are quite heavy, so I don't worry."

"Richelieu and Veneto are also very experienced. You can leave it to them to heal your wounds." Huang Jiang sighed, but there was nothing he could say to her.

Bismarck smiled and said nothing.

There are some things that Huang Jiang is not clear about. Except for Bismarck, the remaining three battleships stationed on Iris Island are all Huang Jiang's wedding ships, and Bismarck is precisely Huang Jiang's flagship.Although Bismarck does have a flagship skill, in terms of strength, she has to admit that her sister's flagship skill is more useful to the team. Although her flagship killer can lock the opponent's flagship, the damage it inflicts is not that great. Explosive, just average and not that eye-catching.

On the premise that there was a better candidate, Bismarck took office as the flagship of the Iris Island Fleet. Even if the better candidate was her sister, it still put her under tremendous pressure.This pressure never comes from the ship girl, but from the Huangjiang River.In Bismarck's view, this was Huang Jiang's absolute trust in him. Naturally, he could not live up to Huang Jiang and must work hard.

Although Huang Jiang couldn't see the truth of the matter, after Lexington's unremitting training, he finally saw some clues and knew that Bismarck's insistence on going to Iris Island was probably related to him.

Seeing Bismarck's performance, Huang Jiang finally stopped talking and dropped the topic.

Huang Jiang opened his mouth slightly and answered Bismarck's previous question: "Now that the combat mission is imminent, the service of the Iris is imminent. Without the Iris, half of our combat objectives will not be achieved. In this case, it will be easy to give the enemy on Violet Island a frontline." Give them a chance to breathe and let them use the remaining island to consume our combat power wantonly."

"The ship girl is not afraid of the enemy!" Bismarck said firmly.

Huang Jiang sighed and said, "But I'm afraid of depleting my resources." Bismarck couldn't fault this point. Without the supply of resources, it would be impossible for the ship girl to continue fighting.

"If one of Yuanluo Island or Malan Island is not conquered in a short period of time, Violet Island can rely on it to continuously consume our resources. Although I have already stocked up enough fuel and aluminum for this day, but in the end It’s not a bottomless pit, we can fill the mirage with one brain. In order to save resources, we must also make a quick decision to occupy these two islands in the fastest possible time, and pinch Violet from the north and the south so that it cannot move.”

Huang Jiang's battle plan is very simple. It is to divide the main fleet into two. One is the Royal Navy headed by Hood, starting from Wutou Island and heading straight for Malan Island, which is closest to Wutou Island.The other is the aircraft carrier fleet headed by Zhizhang. In order to protect the stable output of the aircraft carriers from being harassed by mirages, Richelieu and Veneto will escort them and provide some high damage.Bismarck, along with his sister Tirpitz, took cruisers, destroyers, and submarines to guard home.

This was not surprising to Bismarck. After all, compared to himself, the other two fleets were obviously more suitable for tough tasks, and Richelieu and Veneto were more suitable than himself and his sister to join the battle as members of the fleet.Regarding this point, Bismarck was very open-minded, while Tirpitz didn't care about it at all. If possible, she would rather stay in the bedroom for the rest of her life, let alone fight. This is really not interesting.

Might as well play Stealth Killer.

And this is one of the reasons why Lexington did not come over. She is training with the aircraft carrier fleet, Richelieu and Veneto in the waters near Iris Island.

"Is there really no problem with training in this kind of weather?" Huang Jiang didn't quite understand the needs of aircraft carrier operations, but heavy fog and strong winds are not suitable for taking off carrier-based aircraft, right?
"Adapting to bad weather is also a part of combat." Bismarck was not surprised. "But such heavy fog does affect the operations of aircraft carriers. However, this month's heavy fog cannot last for a day. According to information from Gloria Island, An old man said that the foggy days in June and July only lasted for one morning at most, and it would subside no later than noon, and no one would survive until lunch."

"Is that so?" Huang Jiang nodded with confidence. He was also worried that when the time came to fight, the foggy weather would limit the aircraft carrier's offensive, hindering his tactical plan.

"When will the Iris enter the port?" Bismarck began to organize the people and asked back.

"Because the fog is too heavy, the sailing plan from Wutou Island has been postponed. But if it goes according to what you said, I guess we can sail out of the port at noon, and we will probably arrive in the evening."

"It's so late..." Tirpitz looked lazily as if he wanted to go back to sleep.

"Has the plan been disrupted by the fog?" Bismarck waved his hand and dismissed the sailors.

Huang Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "It is inconvenient to have no accurate weather forecast. We must set up a climate observation team another day. If we don't grasp the weather well during the naval battle, we may plunge into a typhoon one day."

"It is indeed needed." Bismarck was convinced of this.

"By the way..." Huang Jiang thought of something and asked, "If there is heavy fog, will your radar be affected?"

"Ours will be affected." Bismarck thought for a while, her radar was not strong, and then said, "Keeling and Atlanta's radars are a little more powerful, and on the original basis, they are also affected by Yubari and the Kitchen Goddess. After modification, it won’t be a big problem to use it in foggy weather.”
