Phi-Fic Chapter 512: Have they...always been so brave?
Chapter 512: Have they...always been so brave?
At this moment, the two 022 missile boats that had been tormenting them suddenly turned their heads.
Like two nimble dolphins, they quickly disappeared into the sea mist.
"what's the situation?"
Ramos was confused.
“Why did they retreat so suddenly?”
The officers on the bridge also looked confused.
Although victory was right in sight, the Dragon Kingdom's missile boat suddenly gave up the final attack.
This is completely unreasonable.
At this moment, a thick sea fog drifted in from afar.
Ramos subconsciously looked back, and suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.
In the curtain-like sea fog, more than a dozen huge black shadows were slowly approaching.
Even through the fog, you can see how huge the outlines of those shadows are.
The sound of the bow splitting the waves could be heard faintly, like the roar of an ancient beast.
“God bless…Yes…”
Ramos' voice began to tremble, but this time it was not because of fear, but because of ecstasy.
"It's the Seventh Fleet! The Eagle Country's aircraft carrier formation is coming!"
He grabbed the communicator beside him.
"Quick! Tell everyone! The Eagle people are here to rescue us!"
"They've sent their invincible fleet to help us!"
The officers on the bridge also saw those huge shadows.
In their eyes, those vague outlines are hope and savior.
No wonder the Dragon Country’s missile boats suddenly retreated. It turned out that they had sensed the arrival of the Eagle Country’s fleet.
"Hahaha!" Ramos laughed wildly, "See? This is the power of the Eagle Country!"
"The Dragon people fled like rats in front of them!"
He rushed out of the bridge and waved his hands at the huge ship shadows that were getting closer and closer in the sea fog.
"Welcome! Welcome! Heroes of Eagle Sauce!"
"Let's teach these arrogant Dragon people a lesson!"
At this moment, Ramos has completely forgotten the embarrassment just now.
In his view, victory was within his grasp.
With the support of the Eagle Sauce Fleet, let alone two missile boats, even if the entire Dragon Navy came, there would be nothing to fear.
"Pass on my orders!" His voice was filled with arrogance. "All ships, prepare to meet the Eagle Sauce Fleet!"
"As soon as they arrive, we will immediately counterattack! Let the people of Longguo know what true naval power is!"
In the sea fog, those huge shadows are getting closer and closer.
The sound of the bow breaking through the waves became clearer and clearer.
Ramos stood on the bridge, a fanatical glint in his eyes.
In his view, these approaching warships were his hope for a comeback and a chance for him to hold his head high in front of the Dragon people.
As the sea fog gradually dissipated, a huge fleet appeared in front of Ramos.
However, at this moment, he widened his eyes and could not believe what he saw.
In the center of the fleet, a giant 80,000-ton aircraft carrier stood tall.
The ship is like a moving steel castle, with dozens of carrier-based aircraft neatly arranged on the deck.
The bright red flag of the Dragon Kingdom flies high on the mast, announcing to the world the strength of the Dragon Kingdom Navy.
“This…this is impossible! This is impossible!”
"How could this be the Dragon Nation fleet?!"
Ramos' voice was trembling.
"Also, how could Dragon Country have such a large aircraft carrier?"
Surrounding the aircraft carrier is a circle of modern warships for protection.
Destroyers, frigates, cruisers...each one is equipped with the most advanced weapon systems.
And his 3,000-ton retired destroyer was like an ant facing a herd of elephants in front of these behemoths.
"Sir," the first mate said in a trembling voice, "I counted six destroyers, four frigates, and two missile cruisers..."
Ramos said nothing.
He stared blankly at the flashing radar antennas and mighty naval guns on the ships.
There are also carrier-based aircraft lined up neatly on the deck.
Each of them silently told one fact - the firepower of this fleet was enough to completely destroy his fleet within five minutes.
"We...we actually wanted to fight them before?"
A young officer muttered to himself as he looked at this huge and unimaginable steel fleet, his voice full of fear.
Yeah, Ramos thought with a wry smile.
Just a short while ago, he was still proud of the retreat of the two missile boats.
Now that he thought about it, the two boats were not escaping at all, but were leading them into the encirclement that had been set up long ago.
There was dead silence on the bridge.
Everyone was so shocked by the scene that they were speechless.
Those officers who were originally full of confidence now sat slumped in their seats like deflated balls.
"Sir," the communicator suddenly called out, "a signal has arrived from the Dragon Nation flagship."
"'You are surrounded. Surrender immediately or we will fire!'"
Ramos looked at his destroyer which was slowly sinking.
The deck was riddled with bullet holes and the bow was flooded severely.
And around them, the Dragon Kingdom's fleet was slowly tightening the encirclement.
Every ship's gun was pointed at them, every carrier-based aircraft ready for takeoff.
“I’m such an idiot…”
He muttered to himself.
"I still thought the Eagles would come to rescue us..."
At this moment, he finally realized how ridiculous he was.
The once arrogant "battlefield veteran" is no better than an ant in front of a real modern navy.
Those arrogant ideas about "subduing the Dragon People" seem so ridiculous in front of this steel fleet.
“Lower the flag.”
He finally said this, his voice full of fatigue and despair.
"Before we all die here..."
……
On the bridge of the Dragon State aircraft carrier formation, Jiang Chaoyang stood in front of the panoramic window, looking at the scene in disbelief.
He had originally just brought the fleet out for routine tactical training.
The training subjects included formation maneuvers, air defense drills, and anti-submarine warfare. Who could have imagined that such a farce would occur?
"Report to the Commander!" the communications officer handed over the latest intelligence. "According to intelligence, this Luzon Fleet is their most elite naval force."
"That destroyer was transferred to them by the Americans after it was decommissioned."
Jiang Chaoyang took the information and frowned.
He really couldn't understand how a fleet with a total tonnage less than a fraction of his aircraft carrier dared to provoke the Dragon Navy.
"This destroyer..." he flipped through the information, "has a displacement of 3,000 tons, is equipped with a fire control system and radar from the World War II era, and even its main guns are those old-fashioned ones with manual loading?"
"Yes, Commander," the Chief of Staff added, "and most of their sailors have not received formal training and are not proficient in even basic naval combat skills."
Jiang Chaoyang walked to the combat sand table.
On the sand table, the Luzon Fleet's logo looked so small, like a few lost ants breaking into a group of lions.
And his fleet, this 80,000-ton aircraft carrier alone is enough to crush the enemy's entire fleet into pieces.
"You say..." He turned to the Chief of Staff, "they know nothing about modern naval warfare?"
The chief of staff shook his head and remained silent.
"Commander," the communications officer handed over another telegram, "Ramos has ordered the entire fleet to surrender."
"They requested assistance, saying the bow was flooding badly."
Jiang Chaoyang nodded: "Send a rescue boat and bring them up."
Watching the rescue boat heading towards the dire straits of the Luzon warships, Jiang Chaoyang's face showed a complicated expression.
As a soldier, he certainly understands the importance of modern weapons and equipment.
But seeing the other party's behavior so presumptuous, he couldn't help but feel a little absurd.
"It's incredible," he muttered to himself, "With such little strength, you dare to rob the Dragon Kingdom?"
The other officers on the bridge were silent.
They also couldn't understand why such a weak fleet would make such an irrational move.
It's like an ant trying to challenge an elephant, but ends up almost drowning itself in the elephant's footprints.
Jiang Chaoyang took a last look at the sinking destroyer, frowned and muttered to himself.
“Are they…always this brave?”
