>    The Navy of the Greater China Empire is like a new life, not as strong or experienced as the enemy. **(..) The enemy will not give the Navy of the Greater China Empire time to grow. At this time, the Navy of the Greater China Empire can only rely on courage to defeat the enemy. If even courage is lost, then the Navy of the Greater China Empire will have no meaning of existence.

Song E certainly understood this truth, but he was the commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Greater China Empire. He was responsible for the only families in the Greater China Empire, so he seemed cautious. However, now that Hu Yunfeng woke him up, his concerns suddenly disappeared.

"I'm sending my order to set sail immediately and join the aircraft carrier fleet heading toward Midway Island." Hu Yunfeng immediately ordered when he saw Song E understand.

Today is May 28, 1942, and there are eight days left before the Battle of Midway in the United States and Japan. Eight days are enough for them to rush to the vicinity of Midway to participate in the war.

In the early morning of June 3, the aircraft carrier "Yingzheng" that Hu Yunfeng was on board met with the aircraft carrier fleet led by the two aircraft carriers, "Liu Bang" and "Liu Che".

Hu Yunfeng walked onto the bridge of the "Yingzheng" aircraft carrier, picked up a telescope and watched his aircraft carrier. Soon after, he ordered Song E to notify the captains of each ship to come to the "Yingzheng" for a meeting.

"Commander-in-Chief." The first person to arrive at the "Yingzheng" aircraft carrier was Zeng Wanli, the captain of the "Yingzheng" aircraft carrier. When Zeng Wanli saw Hu Yunfeng, he ran to Hu Yunfeng in surprise and saluted.

The last time Zeng Wanli met Hu Yunfeng was two and a half years ago. At that time, Hu Yunfeng had just exchanged them from Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing. When he met Hu Yunfeng, he was immediately sent to the United States to learn aircraft carrier command. A year later, he was appointed as the captain of the USS Liu Che by Hu Yunfeng. He thought that he had been annihilated by the Japanese in the Chinese Navy, but he thought that his naval career had come to an end, but now he has become the captain of the aircraft carrier for a year and a half. Every time he thinks of these experiences, he feels like he is dreaming. It was Hu Yunfeng who gave him a new life, so how could he not be grateful to Hu Yunfeng?

"Sit down." Hu Yunfeng gestured with a smile.

Then the captain of the "Liu Bang" aircraft carrier Li Shijia and other battleships, cruisers, frigates and other captains arrived one by one. When they saw Hu Yunfeng, they all had the same expression as Zeng Wanli. Most of these captains were former Chinese naval personnel who Hu Yunfeng wanted from Chiang Kai-shek. They had the same experience as Zeng Wanli. Similarly, they were also very grateful to Hu Yunfeng for giving them a new life. They are now glorious to be loyal to Hu Yunfeng and the Greater China Empire. (1_1)

"All have arrived?" Hu Yunfeng asked the captains of a battleship, five cruisers, nine frigates and four supply ships.

"The captains of the surface ships have arrived, and the captains of the twelve submarines are still out on guard and patrol and cannot reach them. However, I have ordered the submarine to send a message to them, telling them that you are fighting with us." Song E stood up and replied.

"Haha." Hu Yunfeng smiled softly and then said seriously: "Everyone, this is the first battle since the establishment of our navy. I hope that after this battle, our navy can gradually catch up with the world's old naval power, make the navy the Great Wall of the Greater China Empire, and protect my Greater China Empire. Our motherland, China, has been bullied by the great powers for more than a hundred years because of the lack of a navy. I don't want such a thing to happen again in our Greater China Empire, do you understand?"

"I understand." All the captains stood up and stood attentively and shouted loudly.

"Sit down, now your commander will introduce the enemy situation to you." Hu Yunfeng signaled everyone to sit down, and he took out his cigar and started smoking.

"Everyone, this is the information that the Commander-in-Chief has brought us. The picture shows the location and deployment of the Japanese fleet and the US fleet." Song E stood up and lifted the curtain on the wall behind Hu Yunfeng and said.

"240 nautical miles northeast of Midway is a fleet of ambushing the Japanese composed of three aircraft carriers of the US Pacific Fleet. 200 nautical miles in the direction of Midway is the first maneuver fleet led by Lieutenant General Tadonico Nagamoto to attack Midway. 450 nautical miles in the direction of 10 o'clock is the main Japanese fleet led by Irosoft Yamamoto. At nine o'clock is the fleet of Japanese attacking Midway. At seven o'clock is the close-range support fleet of Japanese attacking Midway..." Song E introduced the situation of the Perfect Japan fleet one by one.

Hu Yunfeng said in a flash: "Remember, the United States and Japan are our enemies."

Seeing that the captains did not understand Hu Yunfeng's words, Song E continued: "Japan is the short-term enemy of our Greater China Empire, but the United States is our long-term enemy. Although the Midway Battle, which is about to break out in this battle, was launched by the Japanese, our commander-in-chief manipulated this war. Our purpose of fighting was to beat the dogs in the water and make both the United States and Japan suffer losses."

These captains have been trained in the United States. Hu Yunfeng had never instilled in them the concept that the United States was also the Greater China Empire before. They were all very surprised that Hu Yunfeng and Song E treated the United States as enemies. However, they were soldiers, and the responsibility of soldiers was to obey orders. In addition, Hu Yunfeng gave them a new life, and Hu Yunfeng's enemy was their enemy. After they were a little surprised, they thought about how the territory of the Greater China Empire was obtained. It was clear whose interests they had occupied were also obvious, and they quickly returned to peace.

In the past, Hu Yunfeng had no time and did not want to instill them immediately that Americans were also enemies. But now the Navy is going to face the two enemies of the United States and Japan, and Hu Yunfeng believes it is time to show their attitude towards the United States to them.

The performance of the captains made Hu Yunfeng very satisfied, and asked Song E to continue. Song E continued: "According to the information of the Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese will launch an attack on Midway Island in the early morning of tomorrow. You have learned about the situation of the Japanese and American fleets. After returning to the warship, they will mobilize immediately. The Commander-in-Chief has designed the battle situation for us. You must tell all the officers and soldiers to let them show great courage to come out and make our first naval battle satisfy the Commander-in-Chief."

"Yes." The captains replied in unison. Zeng Wanli, the captain of the aircraft carrier "Liu Bang", said: "Commander, you have not assigned us combat missions."

Song E glanced at Hu Yunfeng and said, "In addition to aircraft carriers, the mission of other warships is to ensure the safety of the fleet. The aircraft carrier's combat aircraft must be prepared for takeoff tomorrow, and at the same time send reconnaissance observation to reconnaissance the US and Japanese fleets."

After Song E finished speaking, Hu Yunfeng continued: "Your task now is to wait and prepare for pre-war at the same time."

The meeting was not long, and this meeting was just a meeting of mobilization and situation introduction. Whether to participate in the war or not, and when to join the war, Hu Yunfeng had to make a decision based on the losses of the US and Japanese fleets.

The captains all returned to their warships, and Song E asked Hu Yunfeng: "Do you need to tell the Americans where we are?"

"No hurry, now I am mainly worried that the Japanese will discover us." Hu Yunfeng said. Since there was no country in the past, the navy did not have its own logo, neither warships, aircraft carriers nor combat aircraft were repainted, or they were like they were received from the United States, Britain, France and other countries. Although there is no need to do special camouflage to "support" the United States to fight against Japan this time, if Japanese reconnaissance aircraft or reconnaissance ships discover the fleet, the Japanese are likely to use this fleet as a US fleet to attack.

"I have ordered submarines and reconnaissance aircraft to patrol near us. The Japanese fleet focused on the west and northwest of Midway Island. Judging from the Japanese fleet deployment, their combat directions were north and east. We were on the south of Midway Island, and we would not be the key area for their reconnaissance." Song E explained.

"How far is the fleet to reach Midway Island?" Hu Yunfeng felt relieved and asked again.

"Based on the radius of our combat aircraft and the distance between the Japanese fleet and us, we should drive about 200 nautical miles from Midway Island." Song E replied.

"Okay, you give the fleet a life." Hu Yunfeng nodded. He didn't understand the navy and dared not command blindly.

In the afternoon, the Americans and the Japanese called to inquire one after another. The United States asked Hu Yunfeng where the fleet arrived. The Japanese told Hu Yunfeng that all the gold he wanted was transported to Hanoi and asked Hu Yunfeng to immediately provide information on the specific location of the US aircraft carrier fleet.

Hu Yunfeng plans to tell the Japanese the specific location of the US aircraft carrier fleet. After Japan eliminates the US aircraft carrier, the Japanese will definitely relax their guard. He ordered the aircraft of the Greater China Navy's Navy aircraft carrier to be dispatched to destroy the Japanese aircraft carrier. Of course, Hu Yunfeng knew that the Americans had deciphered the Japanese Navy's password and would soon find the specific location of the Japanese aircraft carrier. He hoped that the fighters on the Japanese and American aircraft carriers would take off at the same time to destroy the other party's aircraft carriers. After they fought both sides, he sent the fighters on the Greater China Empire aircraft carriers to beat the fallen dog.

"Call back to the United States and tell the Americans that we are still 800 kilometers southwest of Midway Island and are rushing to Midway Island at full speed. At the same time, call the Japanese back to the Japanese, and the information will not be obtained tomorrow morning, so that the Japanese will wait patiently." Hu Yunfeng was preparing to tell the Japanese the specific location of the American aircraft carrier before the Americans discovered the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, but this time must be well grasped, so that the American aircraft carrier-based aircraft can only let the Japanese know the specific location of the American aircraft carrier after taking off. If the Japanese knew too early and the Japanese eliminated the American aircraft carrier, the Greater China Empire aircraft carrier fleet would either withdraw or face the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet that did not suffer major losses alone. Of course, this was not what Hu Yunfeng wanted to see.

The Americans and the Japanese were very anxious and called back quickly. The Americans urged Hu Yunfeng's fleet to arrive at the combat area as soon as possible, while the Japanese urged Hu Yunfeng to provide the specific location of the US aircraft carrier as soon as possible. Hu Yunfeng was too lazy to talk to them and ordered the radio station to immediately cut off contact with them. (..)
