Chapter 338 Battle Report
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Admiral! Enemy fleet has been neutralized,” his second-in-command announced.
Samuel simply looked out of the window contemplating. The news made him a little sad as his fellow admiral just died in a warfare they never knew existed. He is starting to imagine if they were on the receiving end of the Wraith Fighter Aircraft shooting missiles at them and his gunner crews hopelessly tried to shoot it down before it even reached the vessel.
The naval battle in the English Channel was a complete victory for the Ruthenia Empire, decimating the Home Fleet of the Britannia Empire.
“Admiral, are you okay? You look a bit pale there?” his second-in-command asked carefully, peeking at his countenance and wondering why he is making that face.
“It’s nothing. Let’s just get our Emperor and get out of here…” Admiral Samuel said as he started pacing around the bridge deck.
“But Admiral, we also received an order from the Command Ops. They are ordering us, along with the North Fleet, to conduct a naval blockade around the Britannia Empire.”
Admiral Samuel stopped in his tracks and glanced over his shoulder with a raised brow.
“Did they order that?”
“Yes, Admiral. A minute ago,”
Samuel clicked his tongue softly. The Ruthenia Empire is really serious about going to war with the Britannia Empire. Though the Britannians are the ones who first declared war on them. He was aware of the operation of conducting a naval blockade against the Britannia Empire, after all, he was one of the Admirals who would execute it if it called for it.
,m However, there is one flaw in the operation. The plan is designed to defeat the Britannia Empire, not the whole of Europa. In order to conduct a naval blockade around the Britannia Empire, they’ll have to deal with one of the major naval forces in the world. The Deutschland Navy. They are as powerful as the Britannia Empire, and some of their ships are way more advanced than the Britannians. So the Imperial Ruthenian Navy must exterminate the Deutschland naval fleet to conduct the said operation.
All of these thoughts are making Samuel’s head spin, it will be too much for the Imperial Ruthenian Navy. But their country is at stake here, the world banded together like in the past to defeat one man, Napoleon. Now it was Alexander.
The man who brought prosperity to the Ruthenia Empire, there’s no way he is going to allow such an invasion to his motherland, nor let them hurt the royal family.
“Okay, we will discuss the naval blockade later, but first, we have to get to the Emperor. His Majesty needs to be out of here,” Samuel said.
“Yes, Admiral. We are expecting the Burnyi Class Destroyer carrying His Majesty to arrive in fifteen minutes.”
“Fifteen minutes? That’s too much time! Send them a helicopter and get them out of there alongside his National Security Advisor,” Samuel ordered.
“Yes Admiral!” his second-in-command performed a salute before relaying Samuel’s orders to his subordinates.
***
On the flight deck of the HIRMS Belorussiya Aircraft Carrier, the Wraith Fighter Aircraft that were sent to eliminate the Britannian Fleet landed on the carrier one by one.
The crews working in the flight deck spurred into action and helped the returning planes to navigate them on the deck. They started unloading unspent missiles underneath their wings and refueling the aircraft in case they’ll have to go for another mission.
Near the island of the aircraft carrier, a copy of the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion is preparing for takeoff after receiving orders from the higher. The pilot and co-pilot manning the helicopter performed pre-flight checks in order to make sure everything was in place. As soon as everything was ready, they asked permission to take off from the Air Boss which was given to them on the spot.
The helicopter started ascending into the air and turned toward the direction of the Burnyi Class Destroyer, where the emperor is boarded at.
Seven minutes later, the CH-53 landed at the aft side of the Burnyi Class Destroyer. Alexander, Sevastian, and Rolan dashed toward the helicopter.
The helicopter door slid to the right as it opened, and one of the crews in the cabin offered a hand to the three, helping them board the helicopter.
Once everyone was inside, the helicopter took off swiftly and headed back to the aircraft carrier.
Eight minutes later, the helicopter arrived at the aircraft carrier. Alexander peered below the window and immediately noticed a man below gazing up at them. It must be the Admiral of the Baltic Fleet. He recognized him as he was the one who appointed him to be the Admiral of the Baltic Fleet.
The helicopter flew around in a circle, waiting for clearance to land as the remaining Wraith Fighter Aircraft were still making their way to the deck.
“So those are the planes who decimated the Britannian Home Fleet,” Sevastian commented. “Do we really need to build a battleship when they are useless against aircraft?”
Sevastian said as he looked at Alexander, observing the flight deck.
“Their battleships are not designed to shoot down aircraft, they are designed to sink battleships,” Alexander simply said. “Our battleship is different, designed to take down air and sea threats. It’s only a matter of time before the Britannians or any other countries catch up with our technology. Fortunately, there is a way to prevent that, just innovate,” Alexander said, forcing a smile on his face.
Thirty seconds later, the helicopter was cleared for landing. The helicopter descended on the designated location in the aircraft carrier.
The moment it touched the ground, Admiral Samuel along with his attaches approached the helicopter to welcome them.
“Your Majesty!” Admiral Samuel and the people behind him performed a salute the moment Alexander set foot on the ground of the aircraft carrier.
“We are glad to have you onboard the ship I’m commanding,” Samuel added.
“Good catching up to you, Admiral Samuel but I need to leave this place immediately and I don’t have the time to tour around,” Alexander said, looking around. “I commend your actions on taking down the Britannian Home Fleet.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, we are honored by your words,” Samuel bowed his head reverently.
“I also heard the Command Ops executing the plan to conduct a naval blockade around the Britannia Empire,” Alexander said. “I have given them permission but look out for other nation’s naval forces. We are not battling against a single nation, we are facing multiple great powers.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I was about to ask you that due to that concern. We already prepared a plane for you to take you back to the secure ground,” Samuel pointed at the copy of the Grumman C-2 Greyhound.
“Perfect,” Alexander muttered.
