Chapter 492: Controversy

A few days ago, after returning to Treasure Harbor, after having a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Guia Ocean, especially the recent movements and deployments of the Liang Xia Navy, Spu issued a warning to Niz, mentioning that the Liang Xia Navy was likely to send troops to attack the westernmost transit island of the archipelago in the near future.

At the time, Spu made a special point of emphasis.

Over the past few months, Liang Xia's navy has moved too frequently, clearly creating chaos, or deliberately unleashing a smokescreen.

All of this is done in order to conceal the true strategic intentions.

Then, only by attacking the transit island, you need to play with so many means!

In order to convince Nitz, Sp highlighted the actions of the Liang Xia navy on the Fanyan Ocean, namely the march into Posha Bay and the bombing of the Kibu fortress.

This is also the hardest part to say.

Fortunately, Spu's thinking is very clear.

There is only one key point: the Liang Xia Navy has not sent the four large aircraft carriers that have formed combat effectiveness to Fanyanyang to speed up the advance there.

Obviously, this simply doesn't make sense!

If a large-scale strategic offensive is not launched, why does the Liangxia Navy leave four large aircraft carriers with extremely strong combat effectiveness and enough to change the strategic balance in the Guia Ocean?

Could it be that there is a more important task in the Guia than the march into Posha Bay?

If not, is it a defensive mission?

Obviously, it's simply impossible!

After occupying Saidao, the Liangxia Navy built another line of defense outside the first line of defense mainly on the north and south Sadou Islands.

In addition, through the constant bombardment, the tube island has been paralyzed.

In addition to Guan Island, the closest to the mainland of the Liangxia Empire that can deploy long-range bombers is the Tuke Fortress south of Guan Island.

It's just that it's still too far away.

From Tuke Fortress to Foot Island, the distance in a straight line is more than 3,500 kilometers!

To date, there are no bombers with a combat radius of up to 3500 km.

If it is only for the sake of homeland security, that is, strategic defense, it is enough to rely on shore-based aviation deployed on the islands.

In addition, the Nuland Navy has no ability to launch an offensive for the time being.

Even if long-range bombers can be deployed to Guan Dao and Tuke Fortress to pose a threat to the Liangxia Navy, but without a fleet, the Nuland Navy will not be able to launch a strategic offensive in any case, let alone pose a threat to the Liangxia Empire itself, and it will not even be able to attack the outer islands.

In the Guia Ocean, the Liangxia Navy has absolute strategic superiority.

It can be seen that if the Liangxia Empire's recent strategic focus is on Fanyan Ocean and attacking Posha Bay to completely solve the oil problem, there is no reason to leave 4 large aircraft carriers in the Guia Ocean and only send 3 fleet aircraft carriers to operate on Fanyan Ocean, and it has never launched an attack.

After the entry of the Republic of There into the war, the question of attacking and occupying Posha Bay no longer existed.

From a military point of view, the Liangxia Empire was able to control the entire Posha Bay and seize the local oil fields within a few months.

In fact, as long as the Liang Xia navy can block the route into Posha Bay and prevent the Bran Kingdom from increasing its troops in Boi, the Thell army will be able to take Posha Bay. Because the Royal Navy had withdrawn the "Ark Royal" to the mainland, and the Kib fortress was southwest of Muahai, the Liangxia Navy did not even need to send aircraft carriers, but only a few fast battleships to block the route to Posha Bay.

The number one mission of the combined fleet formed with the Manman Navy is to blockade Posha Bay.

Since the strategic focus is not on the Fanyan Ocean, it must be in the Guia Ocean.

Go to the Southwest and Guia and attack Ozhou?

This is clearly redundant.

According to Spu's analysis, unless the Nuland Navy still has a few capable fleet aircraft carriers and has the capital to fight to the death with the Liangxia Navy in the Middle East Ocean, the Liangxia Navy has no reason to waste time in the Southwest and Eastern Coast, and should directly attack the more strategically significant Khowaii Islands.

Of course, it's also more difficult!

Actually, herein lies the problem.

Nitsu believes in the previous analysis, or there is no controversy.

But the problem is that, like the views of Howl, Frye and others, Niz has always felt that the Liang Xia Navy will attack Wei Island first, and will not directly enter the transit island.

The reason is that it is too difficult to attack the transit island, and there are many unpredictable risks.

Although the transit island is an isolated island, for the Nuland army, the distance of more than 1,000 kilometers is not an insurmountable moat.

In this way, the Nuland army would be able to cover the transit island with its aviation deployed on the islands to the east.

If nothing else, the heavy bombers deployed on the eastern islands would be able to pose a serious threat to the Liangxia fleet attacking the transit islands.

The Liang Xia Navy did have a huge advantage, but it was not big enough to crush the Nuland Navy.

What's more, Liang Xia's army will definitely not be able to take the transit island in one go, and will inevitably spend a lot of time fighting with the Nuland army guarding the transit island.

During this period, all Liangxia ships that infest the vicinity of the transit island will be threatened.

In the case that absolute air supremacy cannot be ensured, why should the Liangxia Navy attack the transit island?

4 large aircraft carriers, it is certainly far from enough.

If the island of Wei is captured first, the Liangxia army will be able to deploy shore-based aviation here, especially those long-range fighters that are very active in the fierce battle on the island.

In addition, Wai Island can be used as a staging ground for attacking forces.

All in all, with the support of Wei Island, the difficulty of attacking the transit island will be much reduced.

In fact, the key is still the fleet.

This is also the key to Hal who has been singing against Sp, feeling that Sp is unfounded, and firmly believes that Liang Xia's navy will go to the southwest and the east first.

In Hal's words, no matter how powerful the White War is, it will not be able to sweep the Khowaii Islands with 4 aircraft carriers!

Four aircraft carriers, with a maximum of 500 carrier-based aircraft, can dispatch less than 200 aircraft at a time, while a large island can deploy thousands of aircraft and dispatch hundreds at a time.

Obviously, there is no such problem with the advance into the Southwest and Guia.

As long as one island after another is attacked, we can make full use of the shore-based air force deployed at the island airfield to make up for the shortage of carrier-based air force.

In this regard, Sp was speechless, or could not refute it directly.

After all, what Hal mentioned is very reasonable, no matter how powerful the fleet commander is, he can't conjure a battleship out of thin air, so he has to abide by the objective laws.

In the end, Spu could only emphasize that Bai Zhizhan had always disobeyed the routine when directing operations.

If everyone thinks that the Liang Xia Navy will not dare to directly attack the transit island, then Bai Zhizhan will definitely attack the transit island.

In addition, Bai Zhizhan had returned to the Guia Ocean, and the intelligence that Liu Xiangzhen commanded the fleet in Fanyanyang had been confirmed, and there was no doubt.

As for the argument between Spu and Hal, Nitsu did not take a stand, or did not agree with it.

In his opinion, the probability that the Liang Xia Navy would go to the southwest and eastward to waste time and troops was basically zero, but the probability of directly attacking the transit island was not high.

It is more likely that the island of Wai will be captured first, and then the decision will be made to go south, or east.

In Nitz's words, the Liangxia navy may not delay the launch of the strategic offensive until the end of the year, that is, after the capture of Posha Bay.

It is this that over the past few months, the Nuland Navy has been working hard to strengthen the defense deployment on the island of Wai.

Not to hold on to this isolated island, but to hold on here for a while longer.

However, these arguments came to an abrupt end a few hours ago. 8)
