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

"Faster! Faster! Pull the engine to full power! Full speed ahead!"

"As long as we cross the island ahead, we can escape the attack range of the Dragon Nation!"

Thinking of this.

George immediately turned around and roared wildly at the sailors under his command.

At this time, the hawkish sailors on the Midway also burst out with amazing efficiency at the critical moment of life and death.

Fuel was being pumped into the boiler frantically.

All of a sudden.

This heavy aircraft carrier, which was originally designed to reach a maximum speed of only 28 knots, unexpectedly reached a speed of over 30 knots and fled madly towards the sea outside Longguo!

On this ship, the sailors in charge of combat could not provide much help.

But almost everyone acted as an observation post at the same time.

While watching the destroyers in his fleet being destroyed one by one by the mysterious weapons of the Dragon Kingdom, he clenched his hands tightly against his chest and kept praying for God's protection.

However, it is not known whether their prayers were really heard by God.

Although the Longguo warship continued to attack his own fleet.

But, so far, no weapon has fallen on him.

After a full-power run, the Midway had already traveled more than ten nautical miles in one breath.

Even the Dragon Kingdom's deadly destroyer has turned into a small black dot.

If nothing unexpected happens, his ship will soon be able to sail out of this sea area and escape.

Many sailors, who had been worried for a long time, seemed to have put half of their hearts back into their stomachs.

However, compared with these inexperienced sailors, Vice Admiral George's face now had a hint of nervousness.

According to Blake's report, at this moment, his ship, the Midway, was 24 nautical miles, or 45 kilometers, away from the Dragon State destroyer.

Moreover, the 406mm naval gun on the Iowa has a maximum range of 24 nautical miles.

No matter how powerful Longguo’s mysterious anti-ship weapons are, they probably won’t exceed the range of 406mm naval guns.

In other words, if he only needed to move forward a little more, he would be able to completely escape the attack of the Dragon Kingdom and escape!

However, the more it is at this time, the more I cannot let my guard down.

After all, even if the probability of being hit is one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, there is still a chance that the ship will be hit.

I will never do such a stupid thing as thinking that I have it in hand and then getting defeated at the last moment!

Now is not the time to relax.

So, until this moment, Vice Admiral George had been directing the pilots in charge of flying the aircraft carrier to perform evasive maneuvers continuously.

However, the decisive blow that Lieutenant General George had expected occurred.

The Midway continued to sail steadily at full speed for another minute. After passing Liugong Island, it completely escaped the range of the Dragon Army's weapons...

At this moment, Lieutenant General George finally let go of his anxious heart.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, and before he had time to celebrate his survival, he anxiously counted the losses of the battle.

However, what originally took a lot of time and effort to confirm has now become extremely simple.

Because this time there is no need to count the losses, but only the survivors.

In this battle, the number of survivors was so small that they could be wiped out at a glance...

Except for his own heavy aircraft carrier which survived by chance.

The entire Seventh Fleet was left with only one supply ship, four Adams-class destroyers, and three small-tonnage frigates...

I thought of the huge fleet that appeared before I came here.

At this moment, Lieutenant General George was so upset that he could not even cry!

I thought that this operation was so small that it could not be any smaller, and I could easily gain military merits.

Who would have thought that we would lose so badly?

It can be said that the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, the USS Midway heavy aircraft carrier, has not been destroyed.

If it were sunk, the Seventh Fleet, which once roamed the seven seas, was invincible and had great military achievements, would probably be practically wiped out.

Even the serial number might not be kept...

Although, his life was saved.

But when he thought about the dignity he would lose after a lifetime of fighting, and the accusations and ridicule he would face after returning to Eagle Country.

Lieutenant General George was heartbroken.

Seeing Lieutenant General George's grief-stricken look.

Although he was extremely happy in his heart, Yamamoto Ikki still pretended to be heartbroken and came forward to persuade him.

"General, please don't be too sad."

"We did fail this time, but at least we're still alive, right?"

"There's a saying in the Dragon Kingdom: victory and defeat are common in war."

"In the history of the Dragon Kingdom, there was once a country that was defeated by an enemy country and was almost destroyed."

"Even the monarch of their own country was treated as a slave by the other side and ordered around at will."

"The humiliation he suffered was no less than yours!"

Having said that, Yamamoto Ikki took a breath and added again.

"However, the monarch remained undeterred. He continued to work hard to strengthen his country and attempt revenge."

"He even placed gallbladders in his study and licked them from time to time, just to remember the humiliation of defeat."

"In the end, the monarch of that weak nation lived up to everyone's expectations and finally defeated the empire, avenging his blood feud!"

"This story is the famous 'sleeping on straw and tasting gall' story in Dragon Country!"

"And now, even though you were defeated, your country's strength still far exceeds that of the Dragon Nation!"

"This time, the Dragon Nation was only lucky enough to defeat you, General, by relying on some strange and ingenious tactics!"

"It's not worth your grief, General!"

"Hearing you say that, I feel much better..."

After hearing Yamamoto Ikki's long speech of comfort.

Although he was still very uncomfortable, Lieutenant General George's mood had calmed down a lot.

In my heart, I felt a little more admiration for this short Sakura man.

In his opinion, these yellow-skinned monkeys, although not very good at fighting, are first-rate at flattering...

Besides, what he said made some sense.

Although he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Long Kingdom Navy this time, it was because he was too careless and underestimated the enemy, easily breaking into the ambush that had been set up by the Long Kingdom.

As a result, when their fleet was attacked, they had nowhere to escape.

Another reason is that this time Longguo used a brand new weapon that he had never even seen before.

The main point is to take the enemy by surprise and take advantage of their unpreparedness.

If I were given another chance, I would definitely not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.

After seeing the mysterious anti-ship weapon of Longguo, Vice Admiral George has not yet thought of any good way to restrain it.

But we have already figured out a way to deal with it.

That is, disperse all your fleets and increase the distance between them.

At the risk of having several of your warships sunk by him, quickly get close to the enemy and then sink him with your naval guns!

After all, although the firepower of that 10,000-ton destroyer is fierce, its defense should be no different from that of an ordinary warship.

As long as they used this mutually destructive attack to sink it, then no matter how many deadly anti-ship weapons it had on board, they would all end up sinking into the sea along with the ship...
