605 Everyone is happy
Looking at the congratulatory message sent by the headquarters, Frank did not feel the slightest joy, but rather a little worried.
After all, this matter is really weird.
Their headquarters already knew about it, so they sent out a surprise attack fleet to destroy the Japanese landing fleet.
Causing heavy casualties to the Japanese.
This made up for the loss of two aircraft carriers in the Battle of the Coral Sea.
However, he, the highest commander on the front line of this battle, still doesn't know it.
It was his fleet that did this.
Such a weird thing really made Frank laugh and cry.
"What is this!"
But Frank is not a fool.
He knew that he had to be careful in his response to the headquarters at this moment.
We cannot deny that we did not send out such a fleet. Such a great contribution cannot be thrown away.
I was supposed to be a loser, but now I have transformed myself into a hero.
How could Frank give up such a transformation?
But at the moment, the most important thing for him is to find out which fleet did this.
Therefore, Frank did not rush to reply to the headquarters.
Instead, he thought seriously about whether he had missed something in this battle and had to find out this meritorious fleet first.
"General, we do have a fleet that was not counted."
After a while, an American colonel came up to Frank and said.
"That fleet?"
"You forgot the escort fleet that General Charles dispatched two days ago."
After hearing this, Frank waved his hands and said, “I haven’t forgotten.
But I had ordered this fleet to retreat a long time ago.
By now, they may have retreated to ports in eastern Australia.
It can't be them.
Besides, with just a few broken ships from twenty or thirty years ago, do they dare to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland?
What a joke. "
Frank didn't believe at all that it would be Ye Qingshan's Third Escort Fleet that would destroy the Japanese landing fleet.
“What if, by some chance, they don’t follow our command to retreat?
After all, apart from this fleet, there is a chance to reach Guadalcanal.
We really don't have any other fleet in that area.
And, I calculated it.
It took them just one day and one night to get from Port Moresby to Guadalcanal.
The timing is right, too.”
The American colonel did not give up and continued to state his reasons.
"Ok?"
After listening to this, Frank also took it seriously.
"Send a telegram to this escort fleet immediately and ask for their location."
As a result, Frank's telegram had not yet been sent.
Wang Chuying's telegram was sent first.
"General, it's them, that's them.
It was the escort fleet of the Third Fleet that went to Guadalcanal and attacked the Japanese landing fleet.
They are so lucky.
The Japanese landing fleet must have known the news of their aircraft carrier fleet's victory.
Rushing to depart from Guadalcanal and continue attacking Port Moresby.
As a result, as soon as we left the port, we ran into our escort fleet.
Their telegram stated that the battle lasted only an hour and a half.
They sank only a hundred Japanese landing ships of various types and almost wiped out the Japanese landing fleet.
As for the number of enemies killed, it is currently impossible to count, the number is simply too large."
The American colonel excitedly took the telegram, rushed to General Frank and shouted excitedly.
“It’s really them.”
Frank was also surprised.
At the same time, I also breathed a sigh of relief that I finally found this meritorious fleet.
Although, it is not their US fleet.
But at this time, Ye Qingshan's escort fleet belonged to the Allied Forces and was also under his command.
As the supreme commander, he still contributed the most to the victory of this battle.
This way, Frank could reply to their headquarters.
“Call back the headquarters, the escort of the Third Fleet was done brilliantly, the raid plan formulated by our headquarters was completed.
They are the best soldiers and our strongest allies.
I would like to ask the headquarters for credit for this escort fleet.
We also commend our main fleet for their efforts in this battle."
Frank said this without blushing or beating his heart.
The American colonel next to him immediately understood what Frank meant and responded immediately: "Yes, General.
I'll do it now. "
The American colonel left.
He had to do more than just call headquarters back.
Other follow-up work still needs to be done, such as revising the retreat order they originally gave to Wang Chuying and others.
Otherwise, the headquarters would be able to find out after the war.
Also, we must find a way to make people like Wang Chuying shut up.
Recognize their command center and the reports they make to the command center.
Otherwise, if Wang Chuying and his men caused trouble afterwards, they would report to the Allied Theater Command, accusing them of lying about military intelligence and embezzling the war credits of their allies.
The consequences are very serious and you may end up in a military court.
In order to deal with Wang Chuying, we must contact Ye Qingshan. As long as Ye Qingshan nods.
Everything will be easy.
Even at this time, General Frank directly ignored Wang Chuying and his group's behavior of heading to Guadalcanal.
It's actually disobedience.
Failure is disobedience, victory is military achievement.
It is the wise leadership of their command.
Not long after, Frank's people contacted Charles and informed him.
Charles hurriedly found Ye Qingshan again and discussed the matter with him.
“Ye, I suggest you help Frank this time.
This is definitely good for you.
Frank's position in our navy is higher than mine.
His father is the Minister of the Navy and his mother is a member of parliament. Their family is very powerful in the military.
If you help him this time, he will help you in the future."
Charles persuaded Ye Qingshan.
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan smiled.
In fact, even without Charles saying anything, Ye Qingshan was ready to help Frank.
Otherwise, it would do him no good to offend Frank.
As the supreme commander of this battle, Frank would hold Wang Chuying and others accountable for disobeying military orders.
The consequences are also serious.
But just because you have made contributions, it doesn't mean you won't be held accountable.
On the battlefield, the seriousness of disobeying orders is much greater than making meritorious contributions.
Even though Wang Chuying and his team are not a fleet directly under the US military, they are ultimately under the jurisdiction of the theater command.
Now, there is a solution that benefits both parties and satisfies them all.
Ye Qingshan would be stupid not to choose.
“Charles, you reply to General Frank.
Just talking about this matter, I will make Wang Chuying speak in the same tone as their command center."
Hearing Ye Qingshan say this, Charles also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “Haha, I feel relieved when you say that.
I'll tell Frank right away.
Don't worry, Frank will be happy to have a generous friend like you."
Soon, Frank received a reply from Charles, and he was completely relieved after knowing that Ye Qingshan had been dealt with.
