Chapter 597 Fleet Joins the Battle
597 Fleet joins the battle
On October 40, , Ye Qingshan's fleet arrived at Sydney Harbour.
After getting off the ship, Ye Qingshan met General Charles at the dock, who came to greet him personally.
"General Charles, long time no see."
Ye Qingshan shook hands with Charles enthusiastically and greeted him.
Although the two had only met once, it was when Ye Qingshan went to the United States for the first time and visited their base to train pilots.
However, the connection between the two is now very close.
Some time ago, Ye Qingshan met the young man Joan, Charles' brother-in-law, at the port of Western Australia.
In the past two years, with the help of Ye Dakang, Joseph, Anthony and others.
They successfully brought General Charles' family into their own interest group.
After the two sides formed an alliance of interests.
Only the many pilots and naval officers who were sent by Ye Qingshan for training were accepted.
General Charles naturally put in a lot of effort in this.
It is precisely because of this situation that General Charles naturally cannot neglect Ye Qingshan this time.
"Long time no see, Ye!"
After the two met and greeted each other, Charles and Ye Qingshan got into a special car and went to their residence.
Charles arranged Ye Qingshan's residence directly in the military camp.
This way, basically there won't be any problems.
Not long after settling down, Ye Qingshan found Charles and asked about the situation of the Japanese.
"Stilwell is right.
In the past two months, the Japanese army has established a firm foothold in the Bismarck Islands in the northern Coral Sea and near the Solomon Islands.
Now, they are trying to land in northern Australia.
Over the past two months, our intelligence agencies have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Japanese army.
Since the end of last month, the Japanese military activities there have become increasingly active.
They could attack Port Moresby at any time.
Our two fleets have already passed by.
Currently we are fighting the Japanese naval fleet near the Coral Sea."
Charles told Ye Qingshan about the situation at sea at that time.
“So, the battle is not over yet.
Then I came at the right time.”
Ye Qingshan became excited.
He was also worried that his fleet had arrived too late and would not be able to participate in this battle.
"What do you want to do?"
Charles looked at Ye Qingshan in confusion and asked.
“General Charles, my men are escorting the Third Fleet and have been brought here by me.
I hope to be able to have my fleet participate in this battle.
My boy also needs practical training."
"Walter? Ye, are you crazy?"
After hearing what Ye Qingshan said, Charles looked at him in surprise.
As Ye Qingshan's ally in interests, Charles certainly knew something about Ye Qingshan.
I also know that Ye Qingshan has an escort formation under his command, but it is composed of some old warships that they have eliminated.
In Charles' opinion, it would be okay to let them perform escort or patrol missions.
Like this time, their fleet fought with the Japanese naval fleet in the Coral Sea.
Both sides dispatched five or six aircraft carriers, and there were also a large number of other battleships and cruisers.
A war of this intensity is simply not something that Ye Qingshan's old warships can participate in.
If we really go and participate, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.
“Charles, I’m not crazy.
I am very rational.
Indeed, my fleet of warships is old.
I don't know either. Let them take on the task of fighting against the main force of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.
But they can perform some other, less intense tasks.
After all, there are nine warships, and they can certainly help in this battle."
Ye Qingshan's purpose this time was mainly to train troops.
But I never expected that my only fleet would have to fight against the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet for the first time.
If they were really all shot down, Ye Qingshan would be heartbroken.
So, Ye Qingshan’s meaning was very clear.
It means sending our own fleet to help fight against the main force of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, or the American aircraft carrier fleet.
Charles' expression eased a little after hearing Ye Qingshan say this.
"Do you have to go?"
"Ah."
Seeing Ye Qingshan’s firm attitude.
Charles couldn't refuse Ye Qingshan's request.
After all, over the past year or so, the Joseph and Anthony families have been of great help to their family.
Not only did it help stabilize his position in the military.
He also brought his family into the business, increasing their family's wealth several times over.
Charles also hopes that his family can continue to grow.
This will be more helpful to his career.
So, in response to Ye Qingshan's request, Charles had to help.
Otherwise, why would he continue to lead his family to make money together?
"Okay, I'll ask for you.
The one who commanded this operation was Frank, not me.
But I have a pretty good relationship with that guy Frank.
Now, if I send him a fleet to help, he should agree."
"Then I'll leave it to you, General Charles."
"It's okay. You should get a reply in an hour at most."
Charles spoke a few words to his adjutant, who then went to send a telegram.
At this time, Charles remembered that there was something else he wanted to say to Ye Qingshan.
"That's right, Ye.
The nobles and merchants in the city heard that the president and his wife of Qingshan Group, which had emerged as a new force in the past two years, were coming.
They specially held a welcoming dance.
Invite you and your spouse to attend.
look……"
Ye Qingshan understood that Charles was entrusted by the powerful people in the city.
Charles had just helped Ye Qingshan, so it was difficult for Ye Qingshan to refuse at this time.
I had no choice but to ask, "When?"
"Tomorrow night at 7:30, Felix Manor in the city.
All the important people in the city will be present.
The initiator of this dance party was Mr. Felix."
Charles walked closer to Ye Qingshan and continued in a low voice: “This Felix is the current Governor-General of Australia.
He knows that you have purchased a large amount of land in Western Australia and discovered many minerals.
I heard that he was very unhappy about this.”
"Really!"
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan couldn't help but sneer.
This situation was within his expectations.
This Felix should be a British guy. Ye Qingshan’s relationship with the British has never been very good.
In addition, their group has bought so much land in Western Australia during this period.
Now many new minerals have been discovered, and workers are being relocated and factories are being built.
This naturally made the British feel a sense of crisis.
Although, at this time, the powerful people in Australia have slowly begun to turn to the Americans.
Abandoning the old father, Britain, and preparing to find a new father.
But there is no doubt that the British still have a great influence here.
If the other party wanted to cause trouble for Ye Qingshan, they could really do it.
However, from what Charles said, the other party is just dissatisfied and has not taken any action yet.
Most of the time, they are also wary of the power of the many consortium families on Ye Qingshan's side.
