From the warm Mediterranean Sea to the suddenly warm and cold Black Sea.

Li Xiao is still a little uncomfortable, mainly because he doesn't know what kind of clothes to wear.

In the morning and evening, I felt a little cold without a coat. At noon, I still felt hot with a coat on.

The Black Sea is actually not very big, and the straight-line distance from Constantinople to Sevastopol is only over 500 kilometers.

Compared to the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea is like a bathtub!

But it is this bathtub that now brings together the two most powerful fleets in the world.

"There's not even a moon this night, so the speed can't be increased!"

Li Xiu put down the telescope and cursed the damn weather.

Frankly speaking, the weather in the Black Sea during this period was pretty good.

At least it's not like winter, when the sky is gloomy all day long and heavy snow can be seen within a few days.

Such a huge formation would not dare to sail quickly in dark conditions.

Visibility is poor, so a slower speed can avoid collision.

Because the wind was blowing from the south, the fleet sailing downwind had already reduced its speed to a minimum.

"Who said there is no moon? Look, what's hanging high in the sky." Li Xiao didn't even hold a telescope.

It's so dark that it doesn't really make much difference whether you have a telescope or not.

Following Li Xiao's finger, Li Xiu saw a bean sprout-like moon hanging high on the sky.

How much moonlight can shine through such a small crescent moon?

"It is expected that we will reach the sea 100 kilometers away from Stopol tomorrow!" Chen Laohu took his eyes away from the chart.

Since re-boarding the ship, Chen Laohu has taken it upon himself to practice everything he does.

Even work such as surveying and mapping charts had to be done personally by the naval commander.

Although Li Xiu knew that the trembling little staff officer might have done better, he still let Chen Laohu do what he did.

He knew that Chen Laohu was showing off his worth to Li Xiao.

The Navy is a very technical service, and not everyone can master every position.

Li Xiao also resigned to this kind of behavior. Anyway, he didn't care about the things on the sea, and he couldn't understand it.

After twenty years of development, the navy has already formed a unique code of conduct.

Suitable for maneuvers at sea!

If a layman takes care of it rashly, he might make a fool of himself.

The commander-in-chief cannot make mistakes, and if he makes a joke, these hard-nosed guys will still execute it.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty always had a blind worship of Li Xiao.

This kind of worship is especially popular among the old Liao army.

Even if Li Xiao said that the eggs were born on trees, these guys would find N pieces of evidence to show that the eggs were born on trees.

Some shameless people will say that there is a handle on it and two leaves.

In short, whatever the commander-in-chief says is right, and whatever is wrong is also right. They will carry out whatever the commander-in-chief orders.

"At dawn tomorrow, we will launch a reconnaissance plane to detect the location of the enemy fleet.

We don't have that much time to play with them and kill the Israeli fleet.

Then blow Sevastopol to pieces and then we will return."

For aircraft carriers, as long as the enemy fleet is discovered, the battle is basically over.

This is a completely asymmetrical strike!

Li Xiao was planning that after killing the enemy fleet, he would take the Yanshan to Sochi.

Then take an airship to Tsarizingrad, inspect the southern front, and then return to Moscow.

"The destroyers on both sides put out a 40-kilometer warning, and the fleet maintained its current speed and course.

Call me at five o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Li Xiu followed Li Xiao and left Jianqiao.

The night before the battle was exceptionally quiet, with nothing but the sound of the ship's bow splitting the waves.

I drank some wine with Li Xiu, and drank some wine before going to bed, which had a very good hypnotic effect.

Not long after lying on the bunk, Li Xiao fell into a deep sleep.

While Li Xiao was sleeping, Chen Siping, the captain of the Youzhou, was staring at the sea warily.

As the left wing guard ship of the fleet, Chen Siping did not dare to neglect.

Because there are not only commanders but also commanders in the fleet.

Chen Laohu has specially taken care of the children of the Chen family. They must keep their spirits up these days.

If something happens again, it won't be Chen Laohu's fault alone, but it will be the beginning of the decline of the entire Chen family.

No one dares to be responsible for the decline of the family, otherwise they will be expelled from the Chen family.

Chen Siping was not going to sleep tonight. He was going to keep an eye on every move on the sea.

Even if a seabird flies by, it must be under his surveillance.

"Captain, please take a nap, it's very quiet on the sea, there isn't even a fishing boat.

If you're worried, I'll keep an eye on it for you.

We have to besiege the Israeli fleet tomorrow, so we have no time to sleep."

The first mate came over and saw Chen Siping holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking.

This is obviously because he is sleepy and relies on smoking to refresh himself.

"No!

The commander-in-chief doesn't dare to make any mistakes in the fleet.

We Youzhou and Yangzhou are responsible for guarding the left wing. If anything goes wrong, we won’t want our heads."

Chen Siping blew out a puff of smoke and threw the cigarette butt helplessly into the sea.

"Bring me a cup of coffee, that thing will refresh you." Chen Siping turned around and walked back into the cabin.

I was a little sleepy at first, so I ran outside to smoke a cigarette and chill it. Now I feel much more energetic.

The orderly came in with a cup of coffee!

After a cup of steaming coffee, sleepyheads are suddenly thrown out of their minds.

Coffee has now become a must-have item on warships.

After ten o'clock every night, unlimited supply will be provided to night watchers.

I have to admit, drinking this stuff at night is really refreshing.

In fact, Chen Siping didn't quite believe that someone dared to attack the huge Ming Navy fleet.

You know, there are two aircraft carriers and four battleships in this fleet.

There are more than thirty destroyers and cruisers combined.

A warship of this size could dominate the world by sailing out of the Mediterranean Sea.

Anyone who dares to take advantage of this fleet will usually die an ugly death.

One night was painful and long. Chen Siping felt that a hundred years had passed, but looking at his pocket watch, only two hours had passed.

Three twenty-five!

The bean sprout-like moon was hiding somewhere, the sea was pitch black, and the ship seemed to be sailing in thick ink.

Even the lookout standing on the watchtower can only see six or seven kilometers away.

The darkness before dawn is so damn dark.

Chen Siping walked out of the command cabin again, with only one cigarette left in the shriveled cigarette case.

He took out the match and lit the cigarette in his mouth!

They are all veteran marines, and striking matches in the sea breeze is the basic quality of a smoker.

Just after taking two puffs of cigarette, Chen Siping's eyes straightened.

The outline of a ship seems to appear on the sea!

It's somewhat similar, but I'm not sure because it's too dark.

What made Chen Siping even more breathless was that there were more than one black silhouette like this, and it seemed to be a fleet.

A fleet from the west!
