The Liangxia Empire focused on building a navy, and the first to be threatened was the Nayi Empire.

For more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Nai Navy, including Takao, have been unable to sleep at night and are always on guard against powerful enemies from the west.

For this reason, the Nayi Empire bet on the entire national destiny!

But Takano knew very well.

In this bet of fighting against the country, the Nayi Empire was just a pawn, and often played the role of the watchdog of the Newland Federation.

In fact, this is the key to the Newland Federation's blood transfusions to the Nayi Empire.

Not to mention, after the war, the Newland Federation had been selling scrap steel to the Nayi Empire, and even handed over many retired warships to the shipyard of the Nayi Empire for dismantling. However, last year, the Nayi Empire's factory bought 500,000 tons of scrap steel from the Nayi Empire. Without these scrap steel that could be reused without re-fueling, the Nayi Empire would not have been able to build the third and fourth fleet in the East Ocean.

In addition, the Bran Kingdom was willing to form an alliance with the Nayi Empire, but it was actually taking advantage of the Nayi Empire.

Only when the Nayi Empire restrained the Liangxia Empire in the East Ocean, the safety of the colonies around the Fanyan Ocean was guaranteed, and at least they could breathe a sigh of relief.

That's why the Kingdom of Bran is also actively supporting the Nayi Empire.

However, the Kingdom of Bran is not as rich as the Newland Federation, and is mainly about providing technology and does not provide much material assistance.

The most representative one is to send engineers to provide the main equipment to help the Nayi Empire upgrade the four "Golden Steel" classes into fast battleships.

Of course, this is enough, after all, the Nayi Empire also lacks the cutting-edge technology needed to develop the navy.

But the question is, is it worth it?

That's right, in the decades before the war, the Nayi Empire, which surrendered to the Liangxia Empire, was always treated as a third-rate country and never received fair treatment.

However, in the past few hundred years, or even thousands of years, the Nayi Empire has been learning from the Eastern Empire on the huge land.

Also, the fact that the Naoyi Empire did not get favored was actually caused by one's own fault.

If it weren't for the fierce intervention of the internal disputes between the two kingdoms of Gao surnameds, they would not have been isolated by using this.

To a large extent, it was actually a fear of Qiang Lin, which forced the Naoyi Empire to embark on this path of no return.

It is also the desire for security that has led the Naoyi Empire to form an alliance with two countries that are basically unthreatening.

However, this cannot change the situation of the narrow imperial kingdom.

The Newland Federation is across the east ocean, more than 10,000 kilometers away. Even if Liang Xia’s Navy was injected with chicken blood, it would not be possible to reach the other side of the east ocean in one breath.

According to the traditional strategy, it will take several years to advance eastward step by step, just to capture and establish strongholds along the way.

The Kingdom of Bran is in the ocean, and the Liangxia Empire is separated from the huge land and the Western Continent. If you walk on the sea, the voyage is also more than 10,000 kilometers.

What is this?

The one who blocked the gun hole in front was the Nayi Empire!

As long as the battle starts, the first one is unlucky.

That's why, after taking the position of commander of the permanent fleet, Takano changed his past position and advocated repairing with the Liangxia Empire.

According to Gao Ye's meaning, even if you cannot form an alliance with the Liangxia Empire, you should remain neutral and avoid becoming enemies with the Liangxia Empire.

What made Takano feel scared was not only the navy of the Liangxia Empire, but also the factories of the Liangxia Empire.

Before the outbreak of the last war, Takano traveled to the Liangxia Empire in his private identity for several months, traveled all over the major cities, and had a very clear understanding of the industrial productivity of the Liangxia Empire. In the last war, Takano also opposed sneak attacks on the Liangxia Empire and advocated watching tiger fights on the mountain.

Unfortunately, no one knew this in the Nai Navy and even the entire Nai Empire except Takano.

The actual situation is exactly the opposite.

After the war, to be precise, the one who was most excited after the Battle of the Watchmen Straits was the officers and soldiers of the Navy Navy, especially the senior generals.

It seems that after this naval battle, the Nai Navy has become the world's number one.

It was this naval battle that made the Nai Navy expand rapidly and became extremely confident, and regarded defeating the Liang Xia Navy as an easy task.

As a result, for many years after this, the Navy discussed how to seize the absolute sea control of the East, at least the West, and the West.

With the remarks at that time, in the next war, the entire East Ocean, at least the absolute hegemony of the West Ocean. Even if we need to cooperate with the Newland Federation, the Kingdom of Bran and other allies, we must ensure that we will become the only powerful country in the West Ocean after the war is over.

Although this arrogance was suppressed after Takano served as the commander of the permanent fleet, and some young officers began to think carefully about the next war, but at the top of the Navy, few people still believed that the battle in the Watcher Strait was just a lucky victory.

If you want to say it, it is actually not even a victory.

The key is, does it have anything to do with the Nai Navy?

Don’t forget that the Second Battle Cruise Team that participated in the battle was fighting on the periphery from beginning to end, and the four fierce battle cruisers did not play their due value.

Influenced by blind optimism, the Nai Navy has always pursued the military doctrine of active offensiveness.

Interestingly, Takano is also firmly surrounded by offensive theory.

Strictly speaking, Takano was the founder of the Navy offensive school, the number one pusher and flag bearer, and thus became the spiritual leader of the young and strong sect.

Takano believes in attack, which shows helplessness.

Why?

If the war with the Liangxia Empire is unavoidable, if you defend to the death, you will inevitably be defeated. If you actively attack and counterattack, you will have a glimmer of hope.

The key is that the narrow and eleven imperial kingdom has no strategic depth.

For this, we can refer to the naval strategy pursued by the Kingdom of Bran.

Although after the war, the Nayi Empire usurped many war dividends, including sending troops to seize and occupy the West and Southwest Oceans without the support of the League of Nations. It was originally a colony of the Liangxia Empire and the Tiaoman Empire, overall, the Nayi Empire was still a small country and a typical island country with extremely scarce resources and the country's life and death depended heavily on shipping.

Simply put, the national destiny of the Nayi Empire relies heavily on two maritime routes.

One is to go south to the colony of the Kingdom of Bran in the southwest, to be precise, Austria of its territory. The other is to cross the East to the Federation of Newland.

The Nayi Empire State has 80% of the imported materials, so it has to take these two routes.

The worst thing is that both routes are easily cut off!

Not only because the journey is long, but there are not many military strongholds along the way, there are no colonies suitable for building military strongholds and maintaining military existence.

According to Takano's theory, only by actively attacking and taking the initiative after the war breaks out can one maintain the route of life before the allies join the war.

If it fails, the Nayi Empire will definitely be defeated before its allies send troops!

Facing the giant Liang Xia Navy, only by active attack can there be hope to drag on it.

But Takano also emphasized one thing.

An active offensive strategy will definitely worsen the relationship with the Liangxia Empire, so the Navy has to take the initiative to face challenges and make plans for the worst.

It can be seen that if there are other options, Takano may not advocate attack.
