After successfully attracting the attention of Australasian Pacific Squadron's main force, the Island Nation fleet finally activated their communication systems and radar.
This was done not only to facilitate exchanges between warships but also to provide their movement information to the Australasian Navy warships in the rear.
If fishing was the objective, then only catching something would count as a success; the Air Force alone didn't complete the mission, which is why Kondo Niita kept monitoring the Australasian fleet's movements on the radar.
Due to differences in radar technology, the Island Nation's radar couldn't clearly display the number of the Australasian fleet. But the radar did detect a huge fleet some dozens of nautical miles behind, slowly heading in their direction.
"Calculate the enemy's speed and ensure our safety as much as possible," Kondo Niita instructed while looking at the slowly moving green dots on the radar screen.
