Spread out in the war room is a huge nautical chart that encompasses almost the entire east coast of North America, stretching from Florida in the far south to the distant island of Newfoundland.

Isolated from the sea, Bermuda is surrounded by a bright red fan-shaped frame that wraps the vast coast from Cape Sabler on the Florida Peninsula to Montauk, the town of Long Island, New York.

Another fan-shaped frame joins it, starting at Montauk and covering the whole of Canada and the rest of the U.S. East Coast.

This is the patrol range of the two formations under the Continental Detachment of the New World Fleet of the Royal British Navy.

The 1st Formation was based in Hamilton, leading New York to the south, and the 2nd Formation, based in Channar Basque, Newfoundland, was to preside over New York to the north.

Sark. Rear Admiral Drake was the admiral of this detachment and the commander-in-chief of the powerful first formation.

Lorraine is familiar with Shaq, and even dares to boast that she is the most familiar with Shaq's command characteristics and war thinking in the world.

But now the enemy is in the dark!

In the fan-shaped frame of the first formation are drawn six strange circles, three red and three black.

The Six Circles occupy all of the distance from Grand Bahama Island to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, near or far from the mainland, and the chess piece representing the Jackdaw is in the center of the northernmost circle.

Lorraine picked up the baton.

"Shaq's thinking in fleet warfare is based on a special kind of defensive thinking, which is the circular formation coordination tactics that you see."

"In this tactic, the fleet is split into small formations of different sizes, arranged in a circular trajectory in a clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise and so on."

"There are one to three observation points for each route trajectory, and within a limited time, the lower trajectory must observe the normal navigation of the upper trajectory before the second round of patrols is allowed. If the upper trajectory is lost, it will be regarded as an enemy, and the lower trajectory will search in the opposite direction of the superior ship, and join the battle as reinforcements. ”

"The route is limited, the speed is limited, and the handover is limited! Because of the overly complex basic structure, Shaq's circular formation coordination tactics were regarded as blunt, rigid, untimely, and lacking initiative in the eyes of the Royal Navy's staff officers, which led to the Admiralty's low evaluation of Shaq's command ability. ”

"But!"

Lorraine pushed the Jackdaw's pieces all the way south until it coincided with a certain arc of the southernmost circle.

"Suppose we don't know as much about Shaq's tactical thinking as the Admiralty staff officers who read his three related papers, what would happen if the Jackdaw crashed into Patrol Formation 1 at this point?"

"There will be a firefight."

Bell picked up the conversation, fished out more pieces from the small box next to him, and placed three to surround the Jackdaw.

"The number of ships in a patrol formation is two to four, and if three ships are selected, the enemy who is discovered by the patrol circle will be engaged. If you can't quickly defeat the enemy in front of you......"

"The No. 2 patrol formation will ask for reinforcements from the enemy." Bell put three more pieces, and the Jackdaw played a pair of sixes, "and then three, four, and five ......"

Seeing that the opposite side of the Jackdaw was full of dense chess pieces, Lorraine swept his baton and knocked all the chess pieces to the ground.

"This is the basic principle of Shaq tactics, the tactical structure is static, but the tactical defense is dynamic, which is the opposite of the active defense of the world's mainstream powers, static shelling."

"Invading enemies tend to be confused by the few enemies at first. However, the duration of the battle in standard encounters is often more than two hours, and the orders given by Shaq to his subordinates are mainly sluggish, defensive counterattacks, and by the time the enemy reacts, Shaq has turned the tide of the battle, rising steadily from the weak side to the superior side or even the strong side. ”

Bell interjected again: "Our teacher, Sir Leighton, has put Shaq. Drake is known as the Captain of the Royal Navy, and his terrifying feature is that the circular defense is a conspiracy and a dignified tactic. ”

"Hide the lower-level formations in the hinterland, let the higher-level formations break through the enemy formation, and if the enemy is equal, they will delay reinforcements, and if the enemy is strong, they will abandon their sons and form a whole army, form a battle column, and retreat to the enemy for thousands of miles."

"His tactics are mature, and falling into it is like a prey strangled by a forest snake, and there will be no second means except to kill the snake to escape."

Bell let out a long breath and looked up at the pensive expressions of the crowd.

Yacharin's military foundation is the most solid, so his brows are furrowed the most, and then there are the half-hung Pierce and the elite pirate Katerina, and the slightly more understandable are Karen and Wang Ye, and the completely unconcerned, Henna, Noya, Carmen and Daniel.

After a long silence, Clen swallowed with difficulty.

"If there is no solution to this tactic, why haven't we encountered any decent obstacles along the way, except to be careful? The Jackdaw has even been moored in this area for several hours, and it has not been detected by that defensive tactic until now......"

Bell rolled his eyes angrily: "Because in this world, only Lorraine is a freak who is special." ”

"Huh?" The crowd was amazed.

Lorraine spread his hands with a warm gaze: "You should all know my relationship with Shaq, some small grievances have nothing to do with today, and before the grievances, our relationship was actually very good." ”

"Huh?!" Except for a few people such as Henna and Bell, the surprise on everyone's faces was even heavier.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about, the father is kind, the son is filial, we were model brothers when my father was still alive, and there is a lot of his circular tactics that I suggested. Of course, the creativity and creation are his, there is no doubt about it. ”

"I helped him perfect the round tactics and discussed with him the biggest flaws of the tactics. It's still the same kind of python characteristics, and this tactic can only be changed after being activated by the intruder, just like if the python can't restrain its opponent, it's just a big lump of non-venomous and speedless snake meat. ”

Yacharin couldn't say: "This is also a defect? ”

"As a hypothetical regional defense based on enemy invasion, this is really not a flaw, after all, no country will condone one or two fast ships to launch an invasion independently, and it will be of no use except to laugh and be generous."

"But we're different. The Viper is all we have, nimble, fast, easy to advance and retreat, and in the same wind conditions it is faster than the fastest of the warships, the Brig. ”

"Our observation distance is more than twenty kilometers, and the defense formations are powerless against us, they can't catch up, they can't hold up."

"Even, I only observed three circles and deduced the specific trajectory of the other three circles, and Clen said that the Jackdaw had been anchored in this sea area for half a day, which means that my calculation was correct, so I was able to hide in the center of the sixth circle and hide in the blind spot of the entire formation."

"In short, Shaq's vaunted tactics are useless to us, and there is only one difficulty for us in this smuggling line......"

The stick was pushed forward, slowly, slowly, firmly pressed to a point.

"The middle of Cape Charles and Cape Henry, the great shell of Algonkin, the treasures of Virginia and Maryland, that's ...... This section of the Chesapeake Bay Estuary, which is only 19 kilometers wide, is our ghost gate. ”
