While Zhou Yongtao was looking through the intelligence documents, Lin Shiping walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Strictly speaking, it was indeed beyond expectations that the 51st Special Mixed Fleet suffered a severe blow, and it would inevitably force the Imperial Navy to adjust its combat deployment.

Simply put, the two strategic directions related to the Navy, the Southern Subcontinent and the East Ocean, have been affected.

This issue has been explained in detail in the intelligence documents brought by Lin Shiping.

First is the Southern Subcontinent.

After the 51st Special Mixed Fleet was severely damaged, a very embarrassing situation occurred. The three aircraft carriers deployed by the Imperial Navy in Fanyan Ocean could not complete the strategic blockade of the Vanluo Kingdom in any case. That is, a three-aircraft carrier battle group was needed in the Muahai and the Bay of Bengal to maintain a strategic blockade and have sufficient strategic deterrence, so that the Vanluo Kingdom, which had always been resentful of the Empire, could remain silent.

There is the 51st Special Mixed Fleet, and this problem does not exist at all.

As long as the Fanluo Kingdom dares to act rashly, the Imperial Navy can allow the 31st Special Mixed Fleet to move to the Northeast Fanyan Ocean, and at the same time allow the 51st Special Mixed Fleet to enter Muahai.

Although one aircraft carrier is missing, it can cut off the sea routes of the Vanluo Kingdom and implement a comprehensive strategic blockade.

The Vanro authorities will inevitably have some concerns and may not actively participate in the war if they are blocked and cannot obtain assistance from the Republic of Newland.

To solve this problem, the only way is to actually set up the 61st special mixed fleet with two aircraft carriers deployed in the southwest east ocean to the Fanyan Ocean.

In this way, we can still fight in concert with the 31st Special Mixed Fleet and block the Kingdom of Fanluo in both east and west directions.

Obviously, this involves the strategic deployment of Dongwangyang.

One of the main tasks of the 61st Special Mixed Fleet is actually to support the 41st Special Mixed Fleet, which is deployed in the Hovay Islands and usually uses Zhenbao Port as its home port.

In fact, the Fourth Fleet is the only fleet deployed overseas by the Imperial Navy.

According to the strategic deployment of the Imperial Navy, after the war with the Republic of Newland, the 61st Special Mixed Fleet took the initiative to advance and decide on specific combat operations depending on the situation. The key point is that if the 41st Special Mixed Fleet bears too much pressure, the 61st Special Mixed Fleet must be more proactive.

To put it bluntly, you have to rush to the Wangxi Canal when necessary.

It can be seen that in the east direction, the 61st Special Mixed Fleet is actually the spare tire of the 41st Special Mixed Fleet and has important value.

If you want to say it, you can also regard the Sixth Fleet as a strategic reserve team on the East Ocean.

Because you can go forward to the central eastern Ocean and use the Port of Yoton as the advance base, from a military perspective, the strategic deterrence of the Sixth Fleet against the Republic of Newland is not even stronger than that of the Fourth Fleet, and has a stronger position to control the overall strategy.

If the 61st Special Mix Fleet is allowed to go to Fanyan Ocean, then the 41st Special Mix Fleet will fight alone in the East Ocean.

This situation has never happened in the past few decades!

Even during the Boei War, the Imperial Navy retained a powerful special mixed fleet with several aircraft carriers in the southwest ocean.

Of course, at that time, the Newland Navy did not challenge the Imperial Navy's capital.

Now, the Newland Navy can deploy 5 aircraft carriers, or even 6 aircraft carriers, and the 41st Special Mixed Fleet, with only 3 aircraft carriers, may not be able to withstand it.

To put it bluntly, the current situation is to ignore both ends.

This is not all.

If you want to say it, there are actually plans for this situation in the empire's strategic plan.

Change passive to active, and change the strategic situation by taking the initiative, or make the situation beneficial to the empire before the situation is completely out of control.

Simply put, it is to mobilize all troops and take the initiative to fight the Newland Navy. If necessary, you can even consider using sneak attacks. Even if it is not good, you can rush to the Wangxi Canal and prevent the Newland Navy from quickly increasing troops to the east by blowing up the canal locks.

Only after stabilizing the situation in the East Ocean will we consider letting the 61st Special Mixed Fleet rush to assist Fan Yanyang.

Of course, if you are sure, you can even first achieve a decisive victory in Fanyanyang, just like in the last war, and then go back to deal with the Republic of Newland.

But the problem is that this strategy is not a secret at all.

As early as more than ten years ago, when the Boei War ended, the development of the Imperial Navy was restricted, and the Military Intelligence Agency obtained reliable intelligence.

The Newland Navy has made comprehensive revisions to the strategic adjustments made by the Imperial Navy.

The key is to use the Vanluo Kingdom to restrain the Imperial Navy, and then find opportunities to annihilate the Imperial Oscar Fleet, seize the sea control power of the Oscar Ocean, and capture the Hovayi Islands. As for whether to continue to fight, it depends on the situation of the war, especially the comparison of the forces between the two sides.

The Newland Navy has a clear purpose.

After the war began, the sea control power was first seized and then the Hovayi Islands were captured.

How to achieve this goal?

It's no secret to say anything.

If the Imperial Navy leaves heavy troops in the east, it is to wait for the Imperial Navy to come to the door and then rely on its local advantages to defeat the Imperial Navy.

The Newland Air Force has thousands of strategic bombers that can defeat any fleet close to its homeland.

If the Imperial Navy increases its troops to Fanyan Ocean and solves its worries first, the Newland Navy will take the initiative to fight an annihilation near the Hovay Islands.

In fact, this is also the key to the Newland Air Force's insistence on developing heavy strategic bombers.

Heavy strategic bombers such as the B-52H and B-1B can carry dozens of anti-ship missiles and launch attacks on fleets 6,000 kilometers away.

This strike range is sufficient to cover the Hovay Islands.

It can be seen that the Newland Navy's combat plan is also very targeted.

The question now facing the imperial authorities is whether to take the initiative or stabilize Fan Yanyang first.

In fact, Lin Shiping prefers the latter.

It’s not that I’m afraid of fighting with the Republic of Newland, but that I don’t have the absolute certainty to defeat the Republic of Newland now.

The problem is actually in the intelligence.

Because the military satellite system was attacked by the Western Land Group and lost about two-thirds of its reconnaissance satellites, the empire could no longer maintain 24-hour uninterrupted surveillance at the Wangxi Canal. It would be even more unreliable to search for the Newland fleet in the vast sea.

Don't forget that the Imperial Navy has given up its only naval base on the Beixi Luoyang.

Now, only a few submarines are moving around in the North Sun.

In other words, don't expect to arrange submarines to perform reconnaissance missions.

As for the launch of military satellite networks, at the current progress, it will take at least 3 months and up to 4 months before it can return to pre-war levels.

I don’t even know where the Newland fleet is, so what long-distance raids are talking about?

Besides, 5 aircraft carriers are enough?

If you want to go to the northeast to look east, that is, to fight in the waters near the west coast of Newland, the first thing you need to consider is the strategic bomber of the Newland Air Force.

According to the performance of the 51st Special Mixed Fleet, at least three aircraft carrier battle groups are required to be sufficiently confident.

This means that the sealed aircraft carrier needs to be unsealed and formed combat power, so that the Imperial Navy can have the troops needed to launch an attack.

This is not something that can be done in a few months.

According to the plan submitted by the Navy, it will take as soon as one year to restore the first batch of large aircraft carriers to complete combat capabilities.

Taking these factors into consideration, Lin Shiping emphasized in the intelligence documents that the Republic of Newland may join the war in advance.

In fact, this is also an hinting to Zhou Yongtao.

If the 61st Fleet went to Fanyanyang to fill the vacancy caused by the 51st Fleet's injury, then there is hope to fight the Newland Fleet in the Hovay Islands.

In this way, even if there is only the 41st Special Mixed Fleet, there is a great chance of winning.

After the offense and defense change, the situation is naturally very different.

Defensive operations can operate under the cover of shore-based aviation, and with the support of shore-based aviation, attacks are launched from multiple directions.

Even if the Newland Navy sends five aircraft carriers, it won't have much chance of winning.

To put it bluntly, the challenges that the Newland Navy had to face when attacking the Hovay Islands were exactly the same as the Imperial Navy's attack on the Lone Continent, and there was no difference.

Seize the opportunity and may be able to achieve a decisive victory here.

In fact, as long as you can get one year, that is enough.

"What should I do here in Fan Yanyang?"

After Zhou Yongtao asked the question, Lin Shiping turned around.

"If all the speculations here are correct," Zhou Yongtao said, throwing the closed documents onto the coffee table in front of him. "Then when the Republic of Newland joins the war, the Kingdom of Vanluo will declare war on us, and our troops there cannot withstand the attack of Vanluo."

"The Pakistan Railway is not that bad, right?"

After Lin Shiping said this, Zhou Yongtao laughed.

As the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau who is specialized in military intelligence, he can't figure out the situation of his allies!

Of course, Lin Shiping was not unaware of it, but he just expressed his doubts about his allies in a more euphemistic way.

"Focusly speaking, it's still a matter of time. As long as you can get more time, even a month, the situation will be very different."

This time, Zhou Yongtao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Lin Shiping said.

As long as you defeat Iraq and the troops deployed on the Posar Bay can stabilize the southern subcontinent. Even if you cannot defeat the Fanluo Kingdom, you can withstand the attack of the Fanluo Kingdom.

Because the Kingdom of Fanluo has not yet achieved industrialization, and even the threshold for industrialization has not been crossed, and there is no capital to fight a protracted war of attrition, as long as the situation can be stabilized and then dragged on for a period of time, the direction will no longer be a problem, at least it will not consume too much force.

The purpose of defending is mainly to rely on the Pakistani army. What the empire needs to do is to send several divisions to serve as strategic reserves.

Of course, we will also be responsible for seizing air supremacy in the early stage.

In short, there is no great challenge at the military level to help Pakistan defeat Vanluo when the strategic blockade is in place.

So, how can I get this month?
