Chapter 1329 Sea Search
This time, Ming Xin came over, firstly, to lead the fleet to find Li He's fleet to fight and defeat his arrogance, and on the other hand, he came to blame. Huo Ran Wen ??? ???.? ranen`org
"Commander, we are still five hundred nautical miles from the South Seas." The adjutant walked over and said to Ming Xin on the bridge.
Five hundred nautical miles, this is not much distance, looking at the starry sky in the distance, Ming Xin took a deep breath and returned to his cabin.
Coo-goo-goo...... Coo-goo-goo...... Eight o'clock, Manila Naval Port.
The South Seas Combat Fleet, which had been moored here all along, was now burning with billowing smoke.
At 8:15, the battleship Hongzhang, which had been docked on the periphery, was the first to leave the dock. And it was followed by three battleships Li Jing. Huo Qu sick number. The Qin Qiong, along with five cruisers, twelve destroyers, and the aircraft carrier Jade Emperor, began to leave Manila and then pounced on the west.
Calm sea, gentle breeze harmony. Li He led the fleet to search the waters off the South China Sea for five hours, but the entire sea surface still did not find anything.
Woowoo...... Woowoo....... Five hundred meters away, Huo Qu's sick signal came again, and everything was normal in the northwest.
At the same time, the southwest also sent news that everything was calm.
"Commander, why can't we hear from them?" Yan Fu looked at Li He in front of him and asked softly.
Li He thought for a moment, and then showed a smile, it was very normal to not be able to find their whereabouts at this time.
According to calculations, at present, their reinforcements are still gradually 300 nautical miles away from the South Seas, and they are now about 150 nautical miles, that is to say, now both sides are approaching each other, maybe after waiting for a few hours, they will be able to find each other.
This is also the reason why, until now, he has not sent an airship.
"Don't worry, it's not time yet, tell them, don't be in a hurry. It's not time yet. ”
Li He's composure calmed down Yan Fu, who was a little excited in his heart, all of a sudden,
After nodding slightly, Yan Fu nodded, then turned around and walked out to begin to convey orders.
Some of the chaotic fleets began to calm down, and the huge combat fleet, led by the Hongzhang, began to move towards the distant sea.
The capital, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Liu Jun has been staring at the sea area west of the South Ocean since this morning. He knew that this morning, Li He had already led the fleet to set off.
"You've been watching it for hours, take a break, they'll send you a message when they find out." Seeing where Liu Jun was still standing, Zheng Yiqian walked over and said.
Liu Jun is indeed thinking about this issue.
Whether Li He can find this fleet in the vast sea this time is very important for his future deployment, and he needs Li He's victory this time to be able to negotiate with Spain and give them the best treatment.
"Hey, I'm not at ease, the vast sea, such a big place, if there is a slight mistake, they can leave from here, how can you rest assured that I say I." Liu Jun, who turned his body, said with a smile.
Zheng Yiqian also knew that Liu Jun's worries were right, but now, worrying had no effect at all, and only waiting slowly was true.
"What about Zhong Lin." Liu Jun, who returned to the chair, saw that Zhong Lin was not by his side, so he asked suspiciously.
Zhong Lin, Zhong Lin was already waiting for news in the telegraph room this morning. This was arranged by Liu Jun personally.
"You forgot, Zhong Lin went to the telegraph room, this is still what you arranged yesterday."
Forget, I really forgot. Hearing this, Liu Jun nodded slightly, and then picked up the tea next to him.
Oops, it's already two o'clock, and there's no news yet, what the hell is going on? In the telegraph room, Zhong Lin had already drunk three catties of tea, but he didn't get the message he was waiting for at all.
From eight o'clock to the present today, Zhong Lin has been waiting for Li He's message, and he finally understands the pain of Li He waiting for his message.
"Director, go and take a break, I'll tell you when there's news." The telegraph director walked up to Zhong Lin and said.
Rest, I can't wait for this telegram today, I don't have any intention of resting, I shook my head slightly, Zhong Lin directly took out a wine bottle, which he brought when he came here today, by the way, there is also a plate of peanuts.
At 2:15 p.m., on the bridge of the Hongzhang in the South China Sea, the fleet led by Li He had already sailed to the edge of the South China Sea, and after walking more than 100 nautical miles ahead, it was about to reach the Indian Ocean.
"Commander, can we release the airship?" Commander Yan Fu walked out and asked.
Releasing the airship, Li He, who thought of this, raised his hand to look at the time, and then began to close his eyes and ponder.
Nearly a minute later, Li He opened his eyes, he nodded, agreed with Yan Fu's meaning, and released the airship.
Buzz Buzz...... Behind the Jade Emperor aircraft carrier above. All seven airships are ready to take off.
Five minutes later, each of the seven airships swooped down in the direction of the west, and at the same time, several destroyers began to move in the predetermined direction.
Airship No. 34. Wang Lei was picking up the telescope in his hand and looking at the sea boringly, he had left the team for nearly an hour, and this hour, Wang Lei was heading to the northwest to collect the rope.
The sky was so blue that the whole sea was the same green, and you couldn't see anything except whether it was a flying seagull or not.
Damn, where can I find such a big place? After handing the telescope to his soldiers, Wang Lei returned and sat on a chair, where he had been standing for more than an hour, but had found nothing.
"Captain, why can't we find it, are they not in the direction we are searching." A soldier with a rifle walked up to Wang Lei and said.
It's really hard to say, seven airships, flying to different places, no one knows, who can find these things.
"How do I know," Wang Lei said after looking at the soldiers in front of him with an innocent face.
Wang Lei is really not big, searching for a fleet in such a large place, it is simply as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
The dead horse became a live horse doctor, and Wang Lei didn't know if he could find it, so he knew that he was searching for the northwest today, and as for whether he could find it, it was not a question he could predict.
The airship was still flying ahead. On the surface of the sea, wind and waves gradually rose.
The wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger, and Zhang Yunfei stood up all of a sudden, he knew that it was not a good thing that the wind speed was strong.
