Capítulo 571: Chapter 569
Chapter 569 The following offenses are committed
"Reporting to the General, Miyako Island is ahead. We found a large number of ships wandering here. They should be Japanese 'pirate ships'!"
The Japanese are called fishing boats, so the East African officials, as the enemy, naturally want to define them as pirate ships that wander to the waters of the Southern Ryukyu Islands. This way, the fight will be more convincing. The motives of both parties are not pure, but they both like to imitate the **** and build memorial arches. .
"Fire warning cannons and start driving away." Glaish ordered.
The reason why they did not start a direct fight is because East Africa respects Japan's strength. After all, East Africa is a guest from afar and is not yet arrogant enough to be arrogant and domineering in the Far East.
Then the sailors in the main gun room of the East African "Partridge" began to adjust the angle of the artillery and fired three shells in the sky over the waters of Miyako Island.
"Boom…"
The cannonball fell on the sea along a parabola. The explosion stirred up huge waves on the sea surface, sweeping the sea water in all directions.
The impact point of the "Partridge" ironclad's shells was less than 800 meters away from the two Japanese "pirate ships". One of the smaller fishing boats was almost overturned by the oncoming sea water, and the hull tilted nearly nine degrees. Ten degrees, the six sailors on board worked hard to save the fishing boat from capsizing.
Grace, who was holding a telescope, naturally saw this scene: "It seems that the other party is not an ordinary person, it is very likely that he is a fisherman disguised by the Japanese Navy!"
"Why did the general say that?"
Glaish answered: "The place where the shell exploded just now was so close, but the few people on the small boat were not afraid of danger, worked together, and handled the situation extremely appropriately. In extreme circumstances, they stabilized the hull in a very short time. It was obvious at a glance It's not something ordinary fishermen can do."
"General, you mean these fishermen are Japanese soldiers pretending to be?"
"We are inseparable, but regardless of whether they are Japanese soldiers or not, if they are ignorant and leave voluntarily, then they will all stay and sink into the sea!" Glaish ordered.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers who were praised by Glasch for being "unafraid in the face of danger" did not feel so peaceful. At the moment when the shell exploded, several of them were soaked in cold sweat and their faces were pale. Fortunately, their previous training had worked. Only by not losing your sense of proportion can you save your life.
"Bagaya Road, East Africa is bullying others too much!" This time Japan's top commander, Seiji Ozawa, scolded angrily.
In fact, when the East African Fleet appeared, the Japanese naturally discovered the existence of the East African Fleet, especially the bright flag of East Africa, which the Japanese naturally recognized.
However, the East African ironclad ship was very ungrateful and opened fire when it was still far away from the Japanese fleet. This made Ozawa Seiji worried at that time. If it aimed at his command ship, it might be over.
Ozawa Seiji's command ship is a sailing ship with a displacement of more than 500 tons. Naturally, it cannot withstand a blow from East Africa's main ironclad ship.
Fortunately, East Africa did not want to have a dispute when they came up. They only threatened with artillery, but this also put great pressure on the Japanese fleet.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the people coming here should be the East African Navy. The enemy is strong now, and they have fired warning shots just now. They probably want us to leave voluntarily. What should we do?"
"East Africans don't have martial ethics! We are just fishing boats. They actually sent a naval fleet directly to intervene in the affairs of the Sakishima Islands. The great powers are acting too domineering." Seiji Ozawa said very dissatisfied.
Although East Africa was very unfamiliar to Japan at this time, Japan still classified East Africa as one of the great powers based on its feeling. Although East Africa chose to hide its strength, the navy could not hide it. As a naval power, East Africa enjoyed its due in the Far East. treatment, especially since Archduke Ferdinand led a complete East African navy to visit the Far East before. Many Asian countries know the power of the East African navy. Of course, the East African Navy is not hiding in the first place. The biggest task of the Navy is mainly to deter, to prevent overseas forces from coveting East Africa. If the East African Navy is not strong enough, then the East African coast will become a great power like other countries. Come and leave whenever you want in the back garden.
Therefore, Seiji Ozawa did not dare to underestimate the East African Navy. He gritted his teeth and said: "The current conflict with the East African Navy is tantamount to striking an egg with an egg against a stone. Although we are willing to sacrifice our lives for the empire, the strength gap between the two sides is too large, and it is not easy for the empire to cultivate a navy. We cannot allow the great man of our Yamato nation to die here in vain!"
"Commander...are you willing?"
"Asshole, we should have taken the initiative to seize the island before East Africa had a firm foothold, otherwise we wouldn't be in trouble today!" Ozawa Seiji said unhappily.
"It's not your fault in this regard, but the misjudgment of those in the military department. After all, no one would have thought that East Africa would send an entire fleet to just a few islands thousands of miles away!"
The Southern Ryukyu Islands are indeed dispensable to East Africa, but the cost of sending a fleet is quite large. East Africa may not be able to recoup the cost in the next few decades, and there are still troops stationed here. It is a bottomless pit with almost only Of course, from a strategic perspective, it cannot be said that East Africa has lost out because it has a foothold in the Western Pacific and can better intervene and safeguard East Africa's interests in the Far East.
"Your Excellency Commander, now is not the time to discuss right and wrong. We must quickly pass the information back to the mainland and then make plans. Even if we retreat now, the military will not pursue us. After all, the strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different."
"Okay, give the order to retreat!"
Then the Japanese command ship issued instructions to the Japanese fishing boats present, and ordered them to evacuate the waters of the Southern Ryukyu Islands and return to Naha City through semaphores and horns.
These fishermen in Japan were originally in disguise, and they naturally began to evacuate in an orderly manner after receiving the order. But was things really so smooth?
"I just said that these so-called fishermen are Japanese professional soldiers disguised. You see, they can also receive instructions and retreat in an orderly manner. The average fishing boat team cannot have such a tacit understanding!" After seeing the Japanese retreating, Glaish was very surprised. Said happily.
"Your Majesty General, I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. Look at their left wing, are they making any small moves?"
Glaish looked along where his subordinates were talking and found that a Japanese army did not act according to Ozawa Seiji's instructions. Instead, it acted in the opposite direction.
Ozawa Seiji also discovered something unusual about his men: "On the left is the person with high fever Morita, right! What happened to them? Call them back quickly? You can even hear the instructions wrongly!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, Gao Feng Morita has always been blind and arrogant, and has always been contrary to what you say. I'm afraid he just doesn't want to act according to your orders. You can hear the bugle wrong, but you can't read the flag message wrong!"
"Asshole, if his uncle hadn't given him to me, I wouldn't have wanted to look at him. This time he blatantly disobeyed military orders. If it causes irreparable damage, I will never forgive him."
"Your Excellency, Commander, should we take care of him? After all, he is one of ours?"
"Huh, no one is allowed to care about anyone who has no interests in the empire and disobeys orders. At the same time, he is given an order to his people to retreat, regardless of Gao Feng Morita's order."
With Ozawa Seiji's override order, some of Takaro Morita's people finally chose to withdraw, and Takaro Morita still had more than 20 ships under his command.
Ozawa Seiji has roughly guessed what the **** Takaro Morita is going to do, but he is at sea now. If Takaro Morita persists, just let this second generation ancestor die.
