Scout's blood was suddenly reignited with excitement! He didn't say a word, just nervously looked at Trajan.
He had just had a feeling yesterday after the conversation between the leader and Raine, which had rekindled his passion from the past. He didn't expect Raine to propose such an ambitious bet right away.
Could that guy have been trying to get General Trajan's attention all along? Was he participating in the contest for marriage to get closer to General Trajan?
Although it sounded a bit bizarre, most people would not let such an opportunity pass, but this also indicated that Raine's thoughts were not on women, but on the fleet!
Trajan was also stunned. Since he became famous, no one had dared to propose such a condition to him.
It was a bit unbelievable that a teenager had such courage!
To be honest, Shobe and the others were worried that Trajan would be angry and feel insulted to be recruited by a child, especially for a legendary captain who had been famous for a long time.
"Raine! What did you say? How dare you try to recruit my grandfather!" Olivia was angry.
But at this moment, Trajan suddenly waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, interesting, interesting! Olivia, it's all right!"
"Raine, what if you lose?" Trajan asked.
Raine smiled slightly, "If I lose, I'm afraid I won't have anything to offer you. They probably won't let me go."
Trajan nodded in appreciation. Raine's words indirectly revealed his stance.
The ship was with the crew, if the ship was lost, the crew was lost!
Of course, Trajan did not know that Raine was this ship...if the ship was lost, he would not be able to run away.
"Good! I'll bet with you!" Trajan held out his hand. "If you can win, I, Trajan, will follow you!"
With a slap, Raine grabbed Trajan's hand, "It's a deal!"
Trajan did not leave Raine's battleship. He was confident that he could ensure the safety of Scout and Olivia, and they might not even need his protection. On board, he could see more clearly how Raine commanded.
"All captains return to their own ships and prepare for battle!" Raine commanded, and Shobe and the others quickly got into position.
Eight optimized Yamato ships and an aircraft carrier slowly sailed out of the artificial harbor, based on the latest intelligence brought back by reconnaissance aircraft, indicating that the enemy had already assembled and was sailing towards them.
The two sides were approaching each other and would meet in about several hours.
Trajan saw Raine and his team processing intelligence and couldn't help nodding his head in admiration. "They have done an excellent job of gathering intelligence and are constantly monitoring the enemy's movements."
"General, we didn't have reconnaissance or early warning aircraft at the beginning," Scout said.
"Well, that is indeed their advantage, but they need to make full use of their advantage to turn it into a winning position," Trajan replied.
When the two sides were only 100 nautical miles apart, the carrier's elevators began to rise, and a series of fighters took off!
"This is to seize air supremacy and gain control and suppression advantage!" Trajan narrowed his eyes slightly. As an excellent captain, every decision must have its own purpose, and they must also accurately speculate the enemy captain's intentions to win.
"Hmm? Wait, their planes are carrying anti-ship missiles!" Trajan suddenly noticed this detail from a distance.
How could they not equip air-to-air missiles when competing for air supremacy?
After a brief thought, Trajan slapped his forehead. "Oh, their fighter jets are actually targeting the enemy torpedo ships!"
At this time, 80 unmanned aircraft on the eight optimized Yamato ships took off!
"Right, fighter jets are not commonly seen in the king-level sea area. Using fighter jets to deal with the opponent's unmanned aircraft is obviously too wasteful. Those unmanned aircraft are the ones used to compete for air supremacy.
However, although fighter jets fly much higher than shipborne unmanned aircraft, they must also lower their altitude when firing, which will inevitably increase the possibility of being shot down. Is Raine really confident that his planes won't be shot down?"
Olivia frowned on the side. "Grandpa, I suddenly remembered, why aren't there any pilots on their fighter jets?"
Trajan and Scout were both stunned. They only paid attention to the weapons carried by aircraft and forgot about this detail.
Now that the fleet was under Raine's control, and Avril was idle, she came to pour water for the three guests but was immediately surrounded by them.
"Ms. Avril, did we make a mistake just now? Why is there no pilot on your fighters?" Scout asked eagerly, this discovery was too shocking.
"Oh, Captain is controlling those fighters," Avril smiled faintly.
"What! How is that possible? Combat drones?" Scout exclaimed in shock.
"Yes," Avril confirmed.
Olivia covered her mouth, this was too amazing!
Trajan's expression froze.
Combat drones, what level of technology was this? Even the Dragon class Sea might not have it! No wonder Raine was so confident in saying that they wouldn't lose a single crew member.
"This guy didn't say that it was the combat drone when he introduced the planes just now!"
The sound of gunfire had already come from ahead, and the Raine fleet was moving at full speed.
Half an hour later, the enemy warship had entered their radar's monitoring range, and at this time, the carrier's firepower system had been raised and was operational.
The five anti-ship six-tube launchers were adjusted to the correct angle, but they did not fire. Raine seemed to be waiting for something.
"T-They still have missiles on their ship!"
"What is the range of their missiles?! Is it not long enough?" Scout asked in doubt.
Trajan thought for a moment and shook his head. "I have encountered missile attacks in the Dragon-class Sea before. The power of missiles is indeed great, the range is far, and the accuracy is high, but if a single missile is launched, it may be intercepted by the enemy. It is best to coordinate with another firepower cover to maximize the power of the missile.
The previous gunfire was not that intense, and none of their fighters returned. I think, perhaps the previous gunfire was just an attempt by the enemy to shoot down their drones."
At the same time, the eight optimized Yamato battleships had completed their formation, and Raine issued the second combat order.
"Launch torpedoes!"
Swish, swish, swish, a large number of torpedoes rushed out, and at the same time, the Typhoon anti-ship missiles were also launched!
The Typhoon anti-ship missile had a range of 18.5 kilometers and a single attack power of 10,000. When the enemy ship entered the radar monitoring range, it had already entered the effective range.
Swish, swish, swish, 30 Typhoon anti-ship missiles with long tails shot out fiercely!
Trajan quickly picked up the telescope on the table and could see the enemy fleet.
Dozens of missiles fell from the sky, causing the enemy's front line to be engulfed in flames. This was followed by hundreds of torpedoes that hit many enemy ships, causing them to tilt.
However, this was only the beginning.
At this moment, the cannons from eight optimized Yamato fired in unison!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! The orderly firing of the cannons created deafening explosions.
A few seconds later, the enemy's sea was instantly swept by dense gunfire, engulfing the sea in flames!
Raine asked Avril to make some coffee for the three distinguished guests. Avril walked into the room with the coffee and politely asked, "Would you like some coffee?"
Just as the three people were feeling nervous, they were suddenly interrupted and couldn't help but turn their heads slowly from the window.
"Miss Avril, do you... always stay so relaxed during a battle?" Scout asked with shock.
"Well, we don't really have anything else to do. If you're feeling bored, I can ask someone to bring a deck of cards," Avril replied.
The three of them were even more speechless.
