"Captain, there seems to be a warship in front! They are approaching us! And there is a signal!" The lookout hand of the Spanish Tunisian merchant ship suddenly said loudly.

"What signal?" the captain said uneasy. Recently, the entire Eastern Pacific has been unstable. The Japanese are attacking American merchant ships. The Americans have also begun to search the merchant ships they encountered from time to time. But that was in the ocean. For example, now, the warships of the US Navy suddenly appeared in the waters near Australia, and it can even be said that this is almost the first time it has been active in Australia's territorial waters.

"Stop the boat and receive inspection!" said the lookout.

"Okay, do what the Americans say, stop the ship. Everyone comes to the deck." The captain himself was not panicked, after all, his ship was loaded with daily cargo.

A moment later, the American destroyer was in place, and a captain took eight US Navy soldiers to board the warship. In addition to leaving three people guarding the deck, the remaining people entered the cabin to search.

"Report to the sir, everything is normal, no prohibited supplies are found." Half an hour later, a US soldier reported to the captain.

"Captain David is it? I remember your name and ship number," said the captain. "I regret the trouble that has been brought to you. But the United States is in war, and I hope you can understand and cooperate with our work."

"We have asked you to check our ship. Can we leave now?" The captain said as he looked at the fully armed US soldiers and wiped his cold sweat.

"Of course, but we have a small request. We will leave a small team on the ship. Don't worry, they will not interfere with your daily work. They just want to ensure that your ship does not send out telegrams that are unfavorable to the U.S. Navy during its future voyage." The captain said in as gentle words as possible.

"Well, we won't tell anyone about this." The captain said quickly.

"Don't worry, the US Navy will pay for the expenses of its personnel on your ship. It will also protect you from unexpected threats." Although the captain's words were gentle, there was no room for maneuver. The Tunisian cargo ship must accept the captain's request!

A moment later, the US Navy left a three-person team carrying a newspaper aircraft, and they would accompany the Tunisia to their destination Chile. In addition to ensuring that the people on the ship did not send out information related to the US Navy through telegrams, they also undertake reconnaissance tasks, and check whether they would encounter suspicious ships along the way on the ship. If there were any, they would notify the US Navy with telegrams. If there were nearby reconnaissance ships, they would arrive immediately and track or search the suspicious ships.

At the same time, more than 50 US Navy fleets were fully deployed and deployed outside major ports on the west coast of Canada. They obtained information through internal and visual search, and then arranged warships to investigate the ships based on the information. It has to be said that the Americans' system integration capabilities and execution capabilities are really first-class. On the New Mexico battleship, Majiphin and his staff team were responsible for the implementation and implementation of the entire plan. Everything was so orderly, and all ships that reached a certain specification would be inspected! And under the sudden and rigorous inspection, there were always some ships that would leak. And the Swordfish was the first one!

"According to the headquarters' instructions, we will rush to the Fe area to join the Japanese fleet. If we cannot contact the Japanese fleet in the Fe area at D1, then we will arrive in the FR area before E2. Try to contact the Japanese fleet for the second time. If we fail again, then we will return directly." At this time, the captain of the Swordfish, Coas, was explaining the latest instructions to his first mate.

"Are the Fe and FR areas?" The first mate lay on the huge chart placed on the table and began to mark it, and picked up the calculation ruler to plan the route.

"The situation is not easy now. Americans are constantly compressing our space. In order to prevent being discovered, our supply points are getting closer and closer to the depths of the ocean. This increases our supply time and range, and the supplies we can deliver to the Japanese will also be reduced accordingly. This will undoubtedly shorten the supply interval. We need to send more supply ships, and in this way, the probability of our being caught will increase significantly." The first mate said with a frown.

"Okay, we can't control other things. Just do our own things well. Be careful. If there is a suspicious ship, we will throw it away immediately." The captain said. Swordfish was originally a product of the British Navy Express Transportation Plan. Although it was not as good as the aircraft carrier could be modified, under a load of 5ooo tons of cargo, the ship could run for 18 knots, and it could indeed throw away most other ships except warships, such as American camouflaged reconnaissance ships and armed merchant ships. In the depths of the ocean, American destroyers rarely appear due to range issues and the number of light cruisers is rare, so Swordfish thinks it is very safe. As long as the alert is in place, you can run away no matter what.

But unfortunately, when faced with this ship that looks like a very good military auxiliary ship, the Americans also specially arranged a strong opponent for him. The newly launched armored cruiser Louisiana of the US Navy assisted in tracking the British camouflage supply ship. The ship successfully broke through the American destroyer blockade line. It was not because it was lucky or at a high level, but because the Americans were preparing to fish for big fish in a long line!

Just below 15 kilometers away from the Swordfish, a small American seaplane was following, and in the distance, the Louisiana armored cruiser was following the ship from afar. They were preparing to use the light to approach the transport ship when it was dark, and then catch him in a flash!

"His captain, the headquarters has received a telegram." A soldier handed over a telegram to the little Spruins, who had just been the captain of the warship.

"Okay, the whole ship has entered a first-level combat readiness state. We will win this goal before sunset today!" Fletcher said after reading the telegram. It turned out that in these few days, the US government needed evidence to find a reason for its activities in the Eastern Pacific. After all, the Americans blockade this time was a bit fierce. Among the ships being inspected and tracked, there were ships from major powers such as France and Italy. In this way, diplomatic pressure was still relatively large.
