Chapter 1408 Return
Different from the expedition fleets, the several forces that are fighting in this sea area are not far from their nearest port locations, and they can return to their ships in just over a month at the slowest.
Moreover, two Fuso players and one Gallic player are still alliances.
Even if there is an emergency, it is not a big deal to be able to make an emergency stop at a friendly port, or even borrow a batch of resources.
Therefore, in this case, it is natural to not need to carry a supply ship, or even bring a supply ship, but it will give the opposite side an opportunity.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this that for the sake of insurance, they must return to the voyage every once in a while.
The three fleets did not return at the same time, but the two fleets stayed in the outer waters to contain Europa's combined fleet, and let one of them return to the port for material supply and rest, maintaining a state of rotation, so as not to combine with Europa on the opposite side. The fleet can take advantage.
This time is obviously the same. After breaking out of the formation of the United Grand Fleet, the Gallic Fleet is slowly sailing towards its own port.
As an old rival, the Europa Combined Fleet, of course, knows the supply method of the other party. They have been suppressed by three-on-two before, and now they finally have a two-on-two situation. Of course, they have to do something.
In this way, the Europa Combined Fleet maintained a speed of 20 knots all the way, and rushed directly into the sea area of foreign players.
In the face of the enemy's actions, the remaining two Fuso fleets would definitely come out to stop them, and it would be impossible to watch the Europa combined fleet rush to their port.
If this becomes the case, the affected port will suffer heavy losses!
The appearance of the two Fuso fleets was clearly what they expected. The main guns of the battleships turned rapidly, and as soon as they entered the range, the two fleets fired unceremoniously.
The roar of artillery fire that shook the sky completely tore apart the tranquility of this sea area in an instant!
A steel battleship broke through the sea, and a fierce naval battle started here.
In the sky, the giant eagle flew quickly, constantly sending back the latest information.
Wang Sheng, who had confirmed the situation, directly ordered the Lightning Strike fleet to act quickly.
Although it is still daytime, with the elf druid mastering the aerial vision, coupled with the double reconnaissance of radar equipment, the lightning strike fleet wants to rely on its own speed advantage to avoid those large fleets at sea. It's not a difficult thing to do.
Now let time run fast.
It took nineteen days for the Gallic fleet with the battleships to finally return to the port.
The lighthouses on the periphery have already discovered their existence, and the heavier battleships are given priority, and the battleships follow the signal and slowly enter the port.
Until a sudden roar sounded, one of the huge battleships screamed in an unsuspecting state...
The violent vibration caused by the explosion made the Gallic navy soldiers who were standing on the deck of the battleship, who had completely relaxed, fall into a state of panic on the spot.
However, this is just the beginning!
Although the battleship has already started to slow down after approaching the port, how much inertia does the exaggerated tonnage bring?
Even the explosion just now could not stop it.
Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the other battleships on the left and right also suffered one after another. This was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The members of the logistics force who were standing in the port and preparing to receive the battleship were all in an instant. Completely bewildered.
what happened? what's the situation? ! They are completely at a loss now, what is going on? It's so good, why did it suddenly explode in a chain?
However, they were dumbfounded, and the naval soldiers and officers on the battleship were only more dumbfounded than them!
Because after ruling out all possibilities, the only conclusion they can draw is that their battleship hit a mine!
They were actually outside their own port and were attacked by mines? !
What kind of international joke is this playing on them? !
Several of the Gallic naval officers who came to this conclusion at the time were almost going crazy.
This situation can even be said to be a bit funny. Could it be that some idiot near the port slipped his hand and dropped the mine? !
At this moment, they have no time to think about these things.
The successive mine explosions directly caused definite damage to the several battleships that were driving in front at that time.
One of the battleships has already begun to emit thick smoke.
"Damn it! There's water in the engine room! Turn off the engine, shit! Turn it off! Where's the damage control team and the damage control team?!"
"The gap here can't be blocked, and the sea is full!"
"Everyone withdraws from this floor!!"
This time, it can be nailed to the pillar of shame. The three battleships of the Gallic Fleet, less than five nautical miles from their own port, were forcibly sunk by a large number of mines from nowhere...
The Gaul player who received the frontline report at that time even wondered if today was April Fool's Day, because why does this thing look so funny and nonsense? !
Taking a deep breath, the Gallic player closed the report in his hand, and then walked slowly to a minister below.
"Let me confirm again. Three battleships, outside the port, were blown up and sunk by mines?"
At this moment, the minister standing below was already sweating coldly. Facing this question, he only heard two words in a difficult tone...
"Yes."
"Are you sure this isn't an April Fool's joke? Or is it some idiot who's brainstorming while writing a report and made a mistake?"
"I don't think so."
"What's going on at the port now?"
"The threat of mines prevented the fleet from entering the port, and the ships inside did not dare to run out easily, and are currently moving collectively to other ports."
"And what about the loss of the fleet?"
"According to the report sent back by the commander of the fleet by telegram, three battleships sank, one battleship was severely damaged, and one battleship was moderately damaged. Afterwards, due to the emergency steering of the entire fleet, the rear battleships collided and collided, respectively causing various degrees of damage.”
In these words, the minister's tone became more and more difficult. At the end, looking at their Great Emperor's gloomy face that was about to drip with water, his whole heart was already hanging in his throat. The guards of the attendants were even more frightened at this time to the point where they didn't even dare to breathe.
"So, where did the mines outside the port come from?"
"For now, it's not clear yet."
The simple words directly stimulated a certain nerve of the Gaul player, causing the emotions he had been forcibly suppressing to explode in an instant.
At that moment, he turned around and kicked the minister directly to the ground!
"Then why don't you go check it out?!!"
