"You go east, you go west, it's hard to command"

The Phantom Anger fleet's flagship ship ship core, Emerald, told me at a calm pace.

"Are you all right? You're more scared of expressions today than usual, aren't you?

"Really?

Although it's surprising or uncomfortable to get facial expressions pointing in from the Ship Core.... Well, so does Diamante, the flagship core, but it's a strange thing because when you're human, you look so human.

"Well, this time the Imperial Army..."

You're obviously on our guard.

Emmerod says something like he perceived his heart. Because I've explained the operation, and I know all about his power.

"Phantom Anger is basically an air fleet."

The green-haired female military ship core told in a swallowing manner.

This time, the rendezvous of the two light aircraft carriers made the Phantom Anger fleet four aircraft carriers. The frigate ships are a formation of two Type I cruisers, three landed corvettes and six golem escorts, including the Imperial renovation ships recovered at the Siegen Plains Games.

In addition, as a guerrilla air squad, three medium aircraft carriers and four golem escorts are roaming near the operational airspace. This is Early taking command and watching for reinforcements from the nearby Air Fleet base of the Great Empire, Sulpersa Military Port.

Currently, the Phantom Anger Fleet Squadron, which I command, was sailing over the former United Nations Provia. The transport fleet from the Great Empire itself is aiming to ambush the fleet near the Grand Military Port of Sulpersa.

The current weather is cloudy. There is a strong impression that the sun is clearly visible from the sky, so it is clear.

With thick clouds everywhere, but illuminated by the western sun, blinking clouds shone. If I looked at the earth, there were some green hills going on everywhere, and I could see more clearly the contrast between the shadows of the clouds and the sunlight.

"Commander, may I ask you one thing?

"What?"

"Why was the fleet divided? Jointly with the guerrilla air squadron, there will be seven aircraft carriers. If you turn all that air power to this transport fleet, you will have no enemies."

"You think there's a shortage in four light aircraft carriers onboard?

"I wouldn't say so, though....... but the enemy has numerous aviation pods. If these come together for interception, it's likely to damage the Air Force as well."

"Nearly three hundred planes are carrying air pods anyway..."

He pointed out that he was afraid of my expression, probably because it appeared on his face.

The enemy convoy has one battleship, six cruisers and twelve corvettes to escort and twelve transporters.

These transporters are loaded with supplies, and six of them have put special decks on top of the transport compartment and mounted air pods. Forty-eight planes per ship, two hundred and eighty for six. There were almost three hundred other air pods on the enemy, as well as the escort's battleship loaded with air pods.

The air combat capability is not as high, but once the fleet has been completely covered and replaced with anti-aircraft guns, that number will add up to a troublesome existence.... Well, if the enemy has a missile, it is.

For a missile attack from outside the range of the Empire's aviation pods, it's not that much trouble. Assuming the Empire had the ability to shoot down this missile and was armed with missiles again, this one would have done a lot of damage... on the contrary, depending on the number, there would have been an aviation force devastation.

But not at that stage now.

"The guerrilla air squadron will prepare for reinforcements from the Sulpersa military port"

I made myself clear.

"If the transport fleet is attacked, but you are certain they will not send the fleet, join us, but we will not use it until then"

With that in his mouth, he remembered, uh, the history of war in the original world, the Midway naval war.

The battle between the Japanese Naval Air Carrier Mobile Unit and the U.S. Naval Air Carrier Unit is a naval battle in which the Japanese Mobile Unit, while winning the battle force, has left its name in history after a miraculous loss as a result of unfortunate coincidences overlapping.

Hit Midway Island or prepare for enemy aircraft carriers. It also helps the adversity of the Sovereign, hassles the conversion of the soldier outfit, and shows a deadly gap, just like the loss of four aircraft carriers.

It was a battle between the United Fleet, which was an operation to lure enemy aircraft carriers to Midway, and the Command Department of the operation to occupy Midway and secure an alert base - a conflict between the thoughts of the United Fleet on the scene and those of the Mainland Command Department, which could also be said to have produced less than one hundred and eighty results.

Well, that coalition fleet may also be sending two aircraft carriers on the other side, calling it an attack, or acting against the concentration of power.

Given that, am I dispersing my power, too? No, if you're thorough with your purpose, there shouldn't be a problem. If you're referring to the example of Midway earlier, it's because one fleet went after Eryu. If each of us is going to do our purpose for sure, then there shouldn't be a problem.

"Commander?"

Emerald has turned a surprising eye. I guess it's because I've been silent.... before the operation, I had an ominous imagination.

"Phone call from the Sovereign. Enemy transport fleet, breach of operational airspace. Transporter XII, Battleship I, Cruiser VI - '

We receive a report from a TR-3 dragonfly reconnaissance aircraft. Finally, the operation begins.

Emerald, First Attack Squad, launch ship.

"I'm in awe"

FIRST ATTACK Squad, Launch Ship - The Ship Core directive was immediately passed on to four light aircraft carriers. From the four ships deployed in horizontal rows, the TS-5 Stormdagger, TA-2 Talon and TH-2 Eyre attackers flew one after the other.

Due to the large number of enemy aviation pods, this one has also loaded more fighters. The first attack squad will be formed with 40 fighters, 24 ship bombs and 32 ship attacks.

Well, Mr. Empire, how do we get out? They won't just be able to do it unilaterally this time, too, they'll pay off one arrow.

I was trying to determine the capability of the Great Empire, assuming the sacrifice of the Shapeshifter pilots.

The First Attack Squad, guided by a reconnaissance aircraft, captured the enemy transport fleet.

But the Great Imperial Army has only been drinking boiled water from us many times, and the reaction was quick.

As a result of a good sorcerer's magic search, the enemy grabbed this attacker's approach early and sent out about a hundred and forty air pods from three transporters to deploy around the mother ship.

If this came towards interception, it would be troublesome for the offensive team, but in pods inferior to aircraft in aerial manoeuvres, waiting is the basic tactic.

The result will be a pre-emptive strike by Phantom Anger Air Force.

Storm Dagger, an air control unit, fires an air-to-air missile from far beyond the air pod. Aeronautical pods without missile alarm devices and the like will explode quickly, avoiding suddenly approaching missiles. Forty planes were destroyed in the first bullet, followed by a second that was released, and another thirty-six were destroyed.

Half of them were shot down after ten seconds, and Stormdagger squadrons stormed into the remaining pod group as they shot up plasma cannons.

The Eyre attack fleet also launched the ASM-3 large anti-ship missile it had on the Imperial Ship.
