404 Discuss in advance
To be said, in fact, the problem of insufficient military strength of the Imperial Navy will not be alleviated until after the Spring Festival next year, or even around the Qingming Festival.
By then, not only will the "Imperial Capital" be repaired, but the four "provincial" ships will also be included in the list.
In addition, there are at least 10 fast battleships and 10 old battleships.
Although the four "Longxing" class ships were incorporated into the 42nd Special Mixed Fleet and left the Daban, Liu Changxun did not return to the empire immediately, but waited for the battle here.
The reason is that the current situation is not much the same as before.
Even if the sneak attack on Wei Island was just a feint attack, the attack on Seyat Island and Guan Island was also a feint attack. However, no one expected that he would be stubbornly resisted by the Newland army on Seyat Island.
This is where the plan differs.
According to the original plan, Guandao must be attacked before the Spring Festival, so by the Qingming Festival, there is no problem of division of troops to the east.
In the initial plan, a special mixed fleet consisting of four large aircraft carriers was actually a special mixed fleet that was composed of four large aircraft carriers to Fanyan Ocean, while three fleet aircraft carriers remained in the East Ocean, and the "Paijing" returned to the shipyard for regular maintenance, while the other two were undergoing restorative training in Xuhai.
Only when major accidents occur, such as the Newland Navy sends aircraft carriers to participate in island-controlled combat operations, will it be necessary to make corresponding adjustments to the deployment.
Even so, we just sent the "Imperial Capital" and the "Longjiang" to the place.
If it really needs to be, adding the "Accompanying Beijing" number is enough.
But now, even according to the most optimistic situation, it is estimated that the island of Serbia can be taken down around the Qingming Festival, and there is definitely no way to send the Marines to Guan Island.
In other words, several aircraft carriers have to be left behind to form a special mixed fleet to attack Guandao.
With the performance of the Newland Marines on Serbia, they may have to use four aircraft carriers to form two special mixed fleets, and they even have to reconsider the sneak attack on Via Island.
If the shore-based aviation force still provides air support and air defense cover according to the original plan, the attack on the island will have to be postponed for several months.
The main thing is that it takes more time to improve the front-line base, such as expanding the field airport on Ata Island into a base.
In addition, the difficulty of combat will be much higher.
Judging from the combat operations that attacked Serbia, the shore-based aviation force cannot replace the carrier-based aviation force, and the support and cover provided by the carrier-based aviation force is not in time.
Even if it is just postponed, it will mean that the feint attack from the East Ocean will become meaningless.
As the situation changes, the plans previously formulated are no longer useful.
Liu Changxun waited for Bai Zhizhan to come back on Daban, just to discuss with Bai Zhizhan in advance.
The two reached an agreement and could make adjustments to the plan immediately after returning to the empire.
Before meeting Liu Changxun, when he knew that Liu Changxun was still on the big board, Bai Zhizhan guessed his intention and thought of countermeasures in advance.
There is only one way to adjust.
Let 4 large aircraft carriers stay in Dongwangyang and take 3 or 2 fleet aircraft carriers to Fanyanyang.
In this way, even if you have to attack the island, you can use four large aircraft carriers to form two special mixed fleets to ensure that you can deal with threats in both directions at the same time.
If we can seize the opportunity, we will even be sure to kill the last fleet aircraft carrier of the Newland Navy.
"You mean, you and Liu Xiangzhen stayed?"
"There is no need for this, just let Liu Xiangzhen stay. Another special mixed fleet can be handed over to Zhang Guozhu or another experienced fleet commander."
Liu Changxun frowned, his expression was very serious, and he was obviously worried, thinking that Bai Zhizhan was just talking casually.
"Only when I go to Fanyanyang, can Sp be allowed to come and fight to the final battle."
After Bai Zhizhan said this, Liu Changxun still frowned.
Last month, the Newland Navy did not attack Dongdu Bay or sent the Special Mix fleet to the vicinity of Via Island, but had been training in the southeast of the Hovay Islands.
After receiving this news, Liu Changxun sent a telegram to Bai Zhizhan, jokingly telling Bai Zhizhan that he scared Spear away.
Of course, it's not a joke.
According to the information obtained later by the Sixth Bureau, when the special mixed fleet commanded by Spur left Zhenbao Port, it was indeed ready to attack Dongdu Bay. The more than 10 B-25s were all on the flight deck of the Endeavour. Moreover, a modified B-25 had previously conducted take-off tests on the Endeavour, proving that this medium-sized bomber could fly from the deck of the aircraft carrier after appropriate weight loss.
Two days later, for some reason, the Newland Navy suddenly gave up its attack on Dongdu Bay. All the more than 10 bombers flew back to their homeland, and they headed to the base of the Army Aviation Corps. They landed at night and took off to the eastern region that night.
By the time the Imperial Navy attacked Serbia, the bombers had already arrived at the Kingdom of Bran and were also marked with the Royal Bran Air Force.
That's why the sixth round did not receive relevant news.
From a post-event perspective, perhaps Bai Zhizhan's whereabouts were unknown, which made Sppe give up the idea of taking risks. The bomber secretly flew back to the local area, in fact, to keep it confidential.
At least until November 25, the Newland Navy could not prove that the Imperial Navy had set up an ambush in the East Du Bay and waited for the Newland fleet to fall into the trap.
Of course, there must be doubts within the Newland Navy, and Spoo's move is to shut up those who suspect him.
Anyway, the "Entertainment" did not come!
"That's right, the question is, is Liu Xiang really sure?"
"He is your cousin, you know better than me."
Liu Changxun rolled his eyes and said, "To be honest, I'm really not relieved. Otherwise, if he goes to Fanyanyang, how are you here?"
"You have to worry if you have to arrange this."
Liu Changxun forced a smile, looking very embarrassed.
"After doing it for so long, Spear can definitely guess that our next action is to march into Fanyanyang. What's more, Niz's strategic vision is not inferior to us. When we march into Fanyanyang after the Spring Festival, we may face more than the Royal Bran Navy."
"You mean..."
Liu Changxun was obviously startled because of the implication of Bai Zhizhan's words, the Newland Navy would send the "Entertainment" to Fanyanyang to assist the Royal Bran Navy in combat.
"This is just my guess." Bai Zhizhan breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "But this is also the key. If I were asked to take three fleet aircraft carriers to Fanyan Ocean, I had to advance the time. It is best to be before the Spring Festival, and at the latest after the Spring Festival, and we must not drag it until around the Qingming Festival."
This time, Liu Changxun did not let Bai Zhizhan explain.
There is no need to explain. After the enemy is ready and completes the defensive deployment, that is, after the Royal Bran Navy sends additional fleets to Fanyanyang, sending troops to Fanyanyang is equivalent to fighting a tough battle. Not only will the difficulty of the battle be greatly increased, but it may not be able to achieve ideal results.
Only by actively grasping the initiative can you have the hope of winning a complete victory!
Besides, active offense is a major feature of Bai Zhizhan.
After pondering for a while, he nodded slightly. "If you think it is necessary, just arrange it like this. I will find the prime minister when I go back."
"It's not too late, we..."
"There is no rush at this moment. It's your first time to come to the Nayi Empire."
Bai Zhizhan showed a look of surprise. It was not that Liu Changxun asked him to stay on the big board for a few more days and appreciate the narrow style, but that he saw the man standing outside the dock next to the car.
It turned out to be Zhao Yu!
