Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

"Haha, my dear old friend, I don't know when you became so humorous."

Hearing what First Officer Black said, Vice Admiral George laughed out loud.

"You also said that the ones that Longguo sank were just some of our retired 'Fletcher-class' ships."

"We lost hundreds of destroyers of this level during World War II."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Even those newly built Adams-class destroyers behind us, which one can't deal with more than three Fletchers at the same time?"

"Not to mention, we have giant cruisers like the 'Iowa' in our fleet."

"Given the thickness of its armor and the strength of its artillery, it wouldn't be a big problem to deal with more than ten Fletchers at the same time."

Having said that, Lieutenant General George smiled and patted Blake on the shoulder.

"If you ask me, my dear old fellow, you are simply being intimidated by the Dragon Countrymen."

"They did play well on the peninsula, but in the final analysis, it was those third-rate guys who performed so poorly!"

"They can hardly win any war without our help and the Air Force."

"I thought you should have understood this during the Battle of Iwo Jima..."

After hearing what Lieutenant General George said, Blake was somewhat moved by him.

I even wondered if I was really worrying too much.

After all, George was right.

The reason why the war on the peninsula is not progressing smoothly is largely because the Eagle Sauce’s army is too weak compared to its navy and air force.

Take the Battle of Iwo Jima, for example, which they are most proud of.

The Eagle Sauce's landing army clearly far surpassed Sakura's defenders in terms of firepower and numbers.

However, every attack and every step forward is extremely difficult.

Sometimes, even after they had already entered Sakura's position, they would be repelled by the enemy's onboard charge and forced to retreat to the starting point.

In the end, there was nothing I could do.

In order to capture Iwo Jima, the Americans deployed a large number of bombers and battleships, firing at the defenders on the island almost non-stop.

During the days when the air strikes were most intense, at least 4000 tons of ammunition were dropped on the enemy positions every day.

Almost the entire Iwo Jima was blown into a sieve.

Even with such strong support.

It took the Eagle Sauce's group of third-rate soldiers a lot of effort to capture Iwo Jima.

And they are also East Asians.

The Dragon Country soldiers that the Eagle Sauce Army is facing now are almost a fully enhanced version of the Sakura Army.

But this time, the Eagle Sauce Navy could not provide them with fire support as without restraint as last time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the war turned out like this...

"Perhaps, General George, you are right."

"However, I think we should not underestimate the enemy."

"After all, as those Dragon people say, even a rabbit will bite when it's anxious..."

"Yes, yes, my dearest first mate, I will accept your advice."

"Well, now, will you accept my invitation to stay here and have a glass of whiskey?"

Hearing Blake's voice, George nodded and spoke perfunctorily.

At the same time, he poured a glass of amber wine from the bottle in front of him and handed it to Blake.

"Drink it, my old friend. Don't blame me for not reminding you. This is the East India Company's collection of wine from the 16th century. I spent a lot of effort to extort it from those guys in John's country..."

Seeing Lieutenant General George, he still looked nonchalant and indifferent.

Blake sighed and helplessly drank the wine in his hand.

Then he saluted George and hurried back to his observation tower.

Although, he also knew that the gap between the Dragon Navy and the Eagle Navy could definitely not be made up in such a short time.

But for some reason, the battle report sent by the bald man seemed like an omen, always lingering in his mind.

He had a sense of foreboding from the bottom of his heart...

However, just as he fell silent, thinking about where this ominous feeling came from.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately turned around and returned to the deck at an extremely fast speed.

"Report to the General, the fleet has spotted the enemy at twelve o'clock!"

After a while.

Blake reappeared before Vice Admiral George and Yamamoto Ikki, and a gasping voice was heard.

After leaning on his knees and taking a few deep breaths to calm his breathing.

Blake then looked up and added.

"Judging from the flag flying on the opposite ship, it's the Dragon Nation's navy!"

"What?! These Dragon people really showed up?!"

After hearing Blake's report, Lieutenant General George slammed his wine glass onto the table with a bang.

However, the tone of voice did not reveal anger.

Instead, it is a kind of excitement that is eager to try.

After saying this, Lieutenant General George took two steps at a time and hurried to the cab.

Ignoring the salutes from the surrounding sailors, he walked straight to the lookout in the cab.

He grabbed the telescope and began to observe.

After seeing this, the excitement in his eyes became even stronger.

"Hahahaha! It's really the Dragon Kingdom Navy!"

"It seems that these Dragon people are not as cowardly as I thought!"

No wonder Lieutenant General George is so excited.

Firstly, the hidden mission assigned to him this time was to completely kill the Dragon Navy when it came to stop him, and strangle the Dragon Navy in the cradle.

Secondly, after World War II, no country in the Pacific dared to challenge the powerful American Navy.

This made George, who had such a powerful fleet in his control but had no place to use it, very itchy.

Although he knew that the strength of the Dragon Kingdom Navy might not pose any threat to him, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to fight a long-awaited naval battle.

"General, the enemy is sending us flag signals."

At this moment, just when George was secretly excited.

Blake's voice also sounded at the right time.

"Oh? What did the other party say?"

"They are warning us..."

"'You have entered... our Dragon Nation's territorial waters... Please immediately state your intentions and return immediately...'"

"'Otherwise, we will expel you in accordance with international maritime law!'"

"'Don't say I didn't warn you...'"
