Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 718 Prologue
August.

The weather is getting hotter, but there is still no sign of rain.After the landing on Edelweiss Island in the first half of the year, the people in Jialan Territory had already become accustomed to this kind of military dispatch.If you want to accept it, it is far from being calm enough to see the constant dispatch of the army and the frequent dispatches of the ship girls, but at least there will no longer be rumors that the mirage will hit your side.

Garland is powerful.

Even the most ordinary Jialan people know this fact.Although it is not clear how powerful it is, it is able to maintain its own territory on the federal border without being disturbed by mirages for many years. This is very rare in other areas of the federation.

In addition, today's Jialan is developing rapidly, with a very high employment rate, and wages ranking among the top in the federation. The bustling streets and prosperous factories that can be seen everywhere give people a strong feeling.

Gloria may not have much history, but it is full of future.

And what kind of direction this future will take, the steering wheel is in Huang Jiang's hands.

Huang Jiang stood in front of the window, quietly watching the resource ship slowly sailing out of the port.

"The last batch of resources has been sent out." Huang Jiang glanced at the smiling Rodney.

Rodney nodded.

"You're still angry." Huang Jiang said helplessly.

Rodney smiled and shook his head: "I'm not angry. I'm just a little frustrated. After all, the extra speed requirements for this battle are extremely high, and I also know that we are not suitable to use our fists on this kind of battlefield."

Because Hood needed to serve as the flagship of the assault team, the Royal Navy stationed on Snakeberry Island was split. Rodney and Nelson were left on Snakeberry Island as low-speed ship girls, and the West Virginia who arrived later Together the fleet protects the safety of carrier operations near the Violet Sea.

And because Lexington and other secretarial ships that Huang Jiang had the most contact with were all transferred to the front line, Rodney accepted Lexington's transfer and returned to Violet Island to serve as the secretary ship next to Huang Jiang.

Of course Huangjiang had complaints.After all, I have been a lord for many years. Even without the assistance of the secretary ship, I can still complete the daily work of Gloriosa Territory very well.But on this matter, Lexington refused to give in, and the reason was very firm: the commander must have a secretary ship by his side. This has been a tradition since the establishment of the port system, and this tradition cannot be abolished.

Lexington, who was extraordinarily liberal in other aspects, was surprisingly conservative and even stubborn in this regard.

The other ship girls also unanimously supported Lexington's decision.

Nonsense, if this time sets a precedent, will it soon become clear that it is okay to not have a ship girl beside Huang Jiang?In that case, how can people like myself gain favor with Huang Jiang in the future?
Well, Huang Jiang doesn’t know the twists and turns at all.Although he didn't know why he insisted on doing this, he didn't hate it very much. What adult man in his right mind would hate having a beautiful girl next to him?
"In this case, we have concentrated all the resources of the Gloria Territory on the Violet Sea." Huang Jiang drank black tea and looked at the deployment plan on the table.This battle mobilized a large number of troops, and most of the current ship girls in Jialan joined this battle.A few exceptions, except for the secretary ship Rodney on Violet Island, are probably Yubari at the Gloria Research Institute and the six-wheel drive team on Cycad Island.

"Is it really okay if there are no troops on Edelweiss Island?" Rodney asked with concern. This is the most important island to Jialan. Without the aluminum ore island, the aircraft carriers would just sit there. If Without Edelweiss Island, all the ship girls would be involved.

"Haikongxing is up there." Huang Jiang said, "Originally I wanted her to join the bombing, but Edelweiss Island really needs people to garrison." "In this case, the Violet Sea is indeed We are missing a combat force." Rodney was a little regretful. As a necessary process to understand the combat capabilities of the Blue Federation Sea Soul, all the ship girls in Jialan have conducted exercises with the Sea and Sky Star.Rodney also knew the strength of Poseidon Sea Sky Star.In terms of aviation warfare, she is slightly stronger than the Lexington sisters, but far inferior to the entire Akagi fleet. In terms of artillery warfare, although her strength is not as good as the top battleship girls such as Veneto and Missouri, she can still do it. To counterbalance.

With such strength, it's no wonder that one person fought with the "Flying Fish" troops back then.

"What's going on over at Rose Island?" Huang Jiang kept scrolling on the deployment map, thinking about where the high-speed fleets preparing to advance would gather.

"Saratoga and the others have already occupied it," Rodney said. "Because they have been dealing with Peanut and the others for a long time, the Mirage's combat power on Rose Island has been almost exhausted. They did not consume many resources after capturing it. It’s just that the rebuilding might be a little troublesome.”

"They are not turning over the entire Rose Island, are they?" Huang Jiang almost thought that after he opened the aluminum limit and unlocked the mail, these aircraft carrier girls in his family would let themselves go.

Rodney gently lifted his hair and put away the tea set and tableware: "It's not an exaggeration to turn over the soil, but it is a fact that there is an open-pit iron mine."

These guys...

Huangjiang began to mourn the mirage in that area.Considering the problem of resources, Huangjiang did not let the aircraft carriers switch to B-25 for bombing, but conventional aircraft are also very lethal, and these HNA aircraft are more in line with the control feel of the aircraft carriers. Slightly more powerful aircraft carriers are You can make the bomber look like a fighter jet.

"Just take possession of Rose Island." Huang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Lan En's recent advance was really fast. If it hadn't taken a while for his own strategic deployment, Huang Jiang would have even wanted the ship girls to take action first.Among this series of islands, Rose Island is the key among the keys.As long as the occupied Rose Island and the islands nearby it will at least cut off Lann's direct access to the mining area from the north.

Anyone who knows the history of Edelweiss Collar knows that the sea area east of Violet is known to be rich in minerals.Huang Jiang didn't think that a family as big as the Lann family would not have one or two people who knew history. What's more, they would definitely conduct research in advance on such a major matter related to the future of the family, otherwise they would not choose Tulip collar.

This can be seen from the beginning of their southward strategy, but the edge of the attack was pushed back by the "Flying Fish" troops drifting in the west wind.Huang Jiang only learned about this matter recently. He was previously curious about why Lann suddenly slowed down the pace of his attack and turned to move closer to the east.

While the Lan's attack put huge pressure on Huangjiang, there was another good thing: that is, part of Mirage's aviation force was involved in the battlefield on Lan's side. In this case, the aircraft carriers would suppress the bombing of the waters around Tea Island. Very beneficial.

"Should the aircraft carriers start their offensive?" Huang Jiang took the tea made by Rodney.

Rodney glanced at the clock on the wall.

Fourteen o'clock in the afternoon.

"here we go."
