"Commander!"

After calling the door, Tian Shi waited patiently for a while before he pushed open the hatch door.

Takano stood next to the porthole, looking at the sea outside, without noticing that the hatch door had been opened or that it was not heard.

"Commander, lunch is delivered, it is your favorite..."

"Let's go."

Tian Shi sighed secretly and placed the lunch box he brought on the cabinet next to the door. It was just an excuse to bring lunch.

"Bring that letter."

When Takano said this, Tashi had already seen the envelope placed on the cabinet.

"You can leave in the modified seaplane later and go back to the long cry."

"Commander..."

Takano pressed his hand, stopped Tashi's words, and continued: "After going back, be sure to hand over this letter to Prime Minister Wen Wei with his own hands."

Tian Shi shivered slightly for a few times, but he still picked up the envelope.

There is no ban, which means that the content of the letter is not confidential, at least there is no need to keep it confidential to Tian Shi.

"This letter may not necessarily change anything. In the eyes of Prime Minister Wenwei, the general and the private are both soldiers who are obedient, and there is no essential difference. However, we must never give up hope, let alone use it as a reason to give up. Just as we have no way to choose our parents, at the moment of birth, we are destined to be subjects of the narrow imperial kingdom and are destined to fight for this disaster-stricken country to the end."

Takano's words left Tian Shi speechless.

“Udon?”

Tian Shi was slightly stunned, then he realized and handed the lunch box to Takano.

It is indeed a portion of udon noodles, and except for salt, there is no other seasoning. It uses boiled bone soup, which has a unique fragrance.

"Commander, are we defeated?"

Tian Shi didn't want to disappoint him, but he couldn't help it.

At noon, after receiving a telegram from the second main team, Takano returned to the commander's cabin without saying a word, and didn't even go to have lunch.

The reason is that the Third Air Force was suddenly attacked and two small fleet aircraft carriers were sunk.

Like the previous two days, Liang Xia's carrier-based aircraft concentrated on attacking two aircraft carriers, and did not waste ammunition on other warships before sinking the two aircraft carriers.

At that time, four battleships of the second main force were nearby!

In addition, Liang Xia's reconnaissance aircraft first discovered the second main team, and only attacked the third aviation team after conducting the second round of reconnaissance.

In other words, Liang Xia Navy did not take the second main force seriously at all.

During the battle, many enemy planes flew past near the second main team, and some enemy planes even flew around the second main team for several laps.

However, no enemy plane attacked the second main force from beginning to end.

The ignorant attitude is valued as insulting the narrow navy and mocking the four battleships that are only tens of thousands of tons but cannot do anything.

At this point, all the active aircraft carriers of the Nayi Navy were killed.

Yes, none of them are left!

In addition to aircraft carriers, so far, there are six cruisers and one destroyer. Only three of the battleships that were regarded as treasures were injured, and they are all slightly injured.

Can the Navy fight again?

Tian Shi was unsure. He brought lunch to understand the problem.

Takano didn't say anything, but he quickly finished the udon noodles.

In the past, he could finish this tasteless boiled noodles in half an hour, just like tasting delicious dishes.

Perhaps, he was hungry. The last meal was in the early morning, after getting rid of the heavy cruisers, he ate something.

Don't forget that Takano is already in his fifties.

"You ask me, are we defeated?" Takano pointed to the envelope in Shimoda Shimoda's hand. "The answer is inside, right, you can judge it yourself."

Tian Shi was a little hesitant, but he still took out the stacked letter paper.

"If we really want to say that, decades ago, after the 'Black Ship Incident', we embarked on a path of no return and were destined to suffer a crushing defeat on one day. However, none of us could predict that this day would be now and would come in our time. Even if we could think of it or guess it, no one would dare to say it, because even if we said it, no one would believe it."

"Commander..."

Expanding the letter, Tian Shi turned to the last page first, and after seeing the signature, he was frightened.

This is Takano's final letter.

Takano pointed to the letter in Shimoda Mitsu and asked him to read it carefully.

Tian Shi felt very uncomfortable because he had guessed Takano's intention.

The so-called "black ship incident" was also called the "Gold and Silver War" in the Liangxia Empire. It was caused by the shogunate government of the Naoyi Empire banning gold exports, imposing high tariffs on traders of the Liangxia Empire, and confiscating a large amount of goods. The Liangxia Empire then launched an army to question the crime.

The key is that gold is not valuable at all in the Nayi Empire, and the price comparison with silver is only three, and ten in the Liangxia Empire. Traders of the Liangxia Empire took advantage of this and earned a lot of gold from the Nayi Empire, resulting in an imbalance in the Nayi Empire and posed a threat to the shogunate's rule.

In fact, it can't be said to be a war.

At that time, the fleet led by the "God of War" Chen Bingxun drove directly into Dongdu Bay, and used giant cannons to force the shogunate government of the Nayi Empire to sign a port opening trade treaty, promised to open ports and export gold, give tax incentives to traders in the Liangxia Empire, and use tariff revenue to offset war compensation.

Shortly after that, the shogunate was overthrown.

Next, the Nayi Empire began the "Second Western Transit Movement", also known as the "Richter Movement". With the purpose of learning and imitation, it sent students to the Liangxia Empire to learn and imitate the Liangxia Empire in all aspects, hoping to become powerful through industrialization like the Liangxia Empire.

During this period, the Nayi Empire also actively participated in the external expansion of the Liangxia Empire.

Many times, he even plays the role of a pioneer.

For example, on deserted islands such as the North Horse Islands that look east to the west and southwest to the east, the main people who reclaimed the land were the narrow-minded people, and there were very few Liangxia people.

The conditions were too difficult, and after becoming rich, not many Liangxia people were willing to leave their hometown.

However, the fundamental purpose of the Naoyi Empire is not to be friends with the Liangxia Empire, but to avenge revenge!

Assisting and supporting the Liangxia Empire's external expansion is to realize its own interests and maintain good relations with the Liangxia Empire before it grows.

The identity of the Servant Kingdom was maintained until the last war.

Although in the eyes of many people, the Nayi Empire betrayed the Liangxia Empire in the last war and became the mortal enemy of the Liangxia Empire, thus embarking on the road of confrontation with the Liangxia Empire, if we really want to say, as long as the monarch and ministers of the Nayi Empire want to avenge revenge, want to dominate the oceans from all over the west, or even march into the huge land, and replace the Liangxia Empire and become the overlord of the Eastern world, they will definitely become enemies with the Liangxia Empire.

In the eyes of most narrow-minded people, the Liangxia Empire was originally an irreconcilable enemy.

So, can the Naoyi Empire take revenge, dominate the oceans from the west and enter the huge land?

All were written in the letter, and Takano did not explain it specifically.

After reading it, Tian Shi felt even heavier.

But, what can I say?

After coming out of the commander's cabin, Tian Shi felt like he was drunk and had a heavy head. I don't know if it was too tired or the spirit that supported him was gone.

Can the Navy fight again?

Is there still a chance of winning in the Nayi Empire?
