After waiting a few hours, we finally received a reply telegram from the Navy headquarter, signed by Zheng Jiangming.
However, this reply telegram was of little practical significance.
No intelligence on the "Fenjin" had been received. The last confirmed report, from three months ago, indicated that the "Fenjin" had departed from Treasure Harbor with a few destroyers as escort, carrying dozens of ship-borne aircraft and over a hundred rookie pilots for training in the waters east of the Howay Islands.
Moreover, in mid-December of last year, it was very likely that the "Fenjin" was still east of the Howay Islands, acting as a transfer platform for tactical aircraft.
However, at that time, it's also possible that there was an escort aircraft carrier operating in that area.
After that, no more intelligence related to the "Fenjin" had been received.
