Chapter 662: Navy!
"Sea monster!"
"Fuck you sea monster!"
Although William knew that Leclerc was a man who got to the top by licking women, he did not expect that he was such a fool.
He started out as a soldier and has been on a ship for more than 30 years, but he has never seen a sea monster.
In the current situation, it is obvious that we were attacked by a submarine.
Although they don't even know where the other party is now, William is 100% sure that the submarines that attacked them must belong to Akagi.
"damn it!"
"Amagi actually has a submarine force. What are those idiots in the intelligence department doing? They didn't even report such important information. I will report them to His Majesty the King when I get back!"
Although William wanted to strangle those intelligence personnel at this moment, the most important thing now was to destroy Amagi's submarine force.
However, before that, he had to shut up the screaming Leclerc.
"General Leclerc, please be quiet. This is not a sea monster, but a submarine that attacked us."
what?
Not a sea monster?
Leclerc looked at William's contemptuous eyes and his old face turned red, but he stubbornly refused to admit that he was wrong.
"General William, how can you be sure it's a submarine?"
Seeing that Leclerc was still stubborn, General William lost his patience.
"General Leclerc, there are no sea monsters in this ocean. I think you've watched too many science fiction movies and can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy."
"you······"
Leclerc was a little embarrassed!
He naturally knew that there was no sea monster, but William's ruthlessness made him very angry.
Just when he wanted to continue pestering, the staff officer hurried over.
"General, I just contacted our submarine, but they didn't find the target!"
"what?"
"How is it possible that they didn't find the target? The other side has already launched an attack, how could they not find the target? Did they search seriously?"
When the fleet was attacked, William immediately ordered his staff to inquire with his own submarine forces. At the same time, he ordered the frigates on outer alert to go at full speed and launch a frantic search around.
At the same time, the anti-submarine aircraft on the aircraft carrier were released as soon as possible, and sonar buoys were scattered around the fleet as if they were free.
And it only took about fifteen minutes to do all this.
The efficiency is amazing.
As expected of a fleet from a veteran naval power, the response was swift and orderly.
Tiancheng, inside the combat command center.
Chen Feng looked at the real-time images and couldn't help but sigh.
Although the British Empire has declined, it still has some strength!
But so what.
The current naval warfare mode is no longer the era of battle lines bombarding each other during World War I, nor is it the era of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft fighting each other and playing dogfights at the end of World War II.
Whether it is naval warfare, land warfare, or air warfare, what we are playing with now is informatization.
We see you, but you can't see me.
The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.
How can we fight this!
At this time, the joint fleet of England and Gaul was facing such a situation.
Their submarines, frigates and anti-submarine aircraft were almost blinded by Yin Qin, but still got nothing, which made William frown.
Just as everyone in the bridge was anxious, a violent explosion suddenly came from the rear of the fleet. A frigate was hit and caught fire.
In just one minute, the frigate with a displacement of about 2,000 tons sank to the bottom of the sea.
Only half an hour had passed since the first surprise attack, but five of their frigates had already been sunk.
Although their combined fleet did not lose a single main battleship, they could not even find the enemy now and would be killed by those submarines sooner or later.
We can't be so passive anymore!
"Turn around and get out of here!"
what?
Leclerc was very puzzled by William's decision.
"Why, General William, why do we have to retreat? We are here to carry out a mission under orders!"
Leclerc questioned loudly.
William looked solemn.
"General Leclerc, if we continue like this, we will lose more ships. The enemy is in the dark now and we can't find them. If we continue to stay here, we will die. Let's leave this sea area first, re-plan our tactics, and then make plans."
Although Leclerc was unwilling, he also understood the severity of the current situation and had to shut up.
The combined fleet began to turn around and prepare to evacuate.
However, how could Amagi's submarine force let them go so easily?
Just as the fleet turned and the entire fleet formation was changed, there was a loud bang, and a destroyer seemed to be dragged up by a huge hand.
It jumped several meters out of the sea, and then suddenly crashed back into the sea.
Crunch...
William seemed to hear the sound of steel breaking.
The Courageous-class destroyer belonging to the British Empire had already been engulfed in flames and was slowly sinking into the sea.
"damn it!"
William's heart sank suddenly. He knew that the enemy would not let them leave easily.
But I didn't expect the other party to be so bold.
Good, good, good...
William gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to sink all those submarines, he knew at this moment that he couldn't do that. The fleet was now in an even more chaotic situation. The crews on each warship were very nervous. If they delayed any further, God knew how much loss they would suffer.
"Let's go, get out of here now!"
"Don't worry about the formation, go full throttle, and don't worry about whether the engine will be damaged. Leave this sea area as fast as possible!"
William picked up the intercom, and the blood vessels in his neck bulged due to the force.
Under William's order, the warships of the combined fleet all ran at full speed and fled towards safe waters like frightened birds.
The sea surface was plowed with white waves by the high-speed warships.
However, Amagi's submarine force followed them closely like a group of ghosts.
Although the speed of the combined fleet of England and Gaul had reached 35 knots at this time, they still could not escape the pursuit of those underwater ghosts.
Several torpedoes roared out from underwater and accurately hit several escort warships.
Even the tail of one of Gaul's aircraft carriers was hit, a raging fire broke out, and its speed slowed down.
"General, the USS Clement Jun is damaged and can't maintain high speed!"
The staff officer reported anxiously.
William gritted his teeth.
"Let all the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier take off and conduct a search and attack on the surrounding waters. The other warships will cover the aircraft carrier and make sure to get it out of this sea area!"
what?
William's decision made Leclerc furious!
"No, I don't agree. I can't just watch the Clermont Jun sink. I must bring it back!"
They Gaul only have three aircraft carriers.
The Clermont Jun was their main aircraft carrier. If it was sunk in his hands, even if he could return, his fate would not be good.
"General Leclerc, do you know what kind of situation we are facing? If we hesitate for a moment, it won't be the Clermont Jun that will be sunk, but all of us will be killed by that damned ghost!"
This!
Leclerc's face turned pale, he no longer had the stubbornness he had before, he just stared blankly at the glory of their Gallic Empire.
Seeing that Leclerc stopped talking, William immediately issued combat orders to the Clermont Jun as the commander of the combined fleet.
In response to this, the commander of the USS Clement Jun did not hesitate at all. He immediately ordered all fighter planes to take off, mount bombs, and carry out indiscriminate bombing on the waters around the fleet.
