The Nuland Federation dispatched more than a hundred freighters.

In late August, on the day Task Force 41 returned from the war zone, two aircraft carriers in Jumbo Harbor took anchor and departed, and then the "Endeavour" resting in Yotun Harbor also quietly went to sea. By early September, two fleet aircraft carriers deployed off the west coast of Newland had also left port.

Now, all five fleet aircraft carriers of the Nuland Navy are operating at sea!

The point is, that's five aircraft carrier battle groups.

Each carrier was directly covered by two heavy cruisers, in addition to at least two light cruisers and four destroyers.

If anything, it's just a fast battleship.

It is not surprising that the two "North Carolina" class ships of the Nuland Navy are outfitted on the dock, and the four "Nanda" class are still under construction on the slipway, and there are no fast battleships that can follow the aircraft carrier for the time being, so they can only use heavy cruisers to provide cover for the aircraft carrier.

This is also the biggest shortcoming of the Nuland Navy.

Because there were too many debts in the early stage, in fact, before the "Hwaseong Treaty" and the "Luntai Treaty" were invalidated, they wanted to pull the Liangxia Empire into the water, that is, to renew the treaty for five years without the participation of the Sayi Imperial State, but the Liangxia Empire did not enter the pit, but instead pitted itself, so it was not until the treaty was annulled that the Nuland Federation began to build the post-treaty fast battleships, and the first two of them started about a year later than the "Xuhai" class. Next, due to various problems, the construction speed of the two "North Carolina" class ships has been tepid.

To say, this is also the key to the Nuland Federation's delay in entering the war.

At the time of the outbreak of the Great War, the Nuland Navy did not have a single decent air defense battleship!

The aircraft carrier battle between Yanhai and South Zhuhai has proved that air defense warships are of great value and can even decide the life and death of aircraft carriers at critical moments.

It was in this way that the Nuland Navy returned ten of the latest treaty-type heavy cruisers to the shipyard in one fell swoop, and carried out the largest modernization since entering service. There is only one key point, that is, to enhance the combat effectiveness of air defense by replacing secondary guns and installing machine guns.

It must be admitted that the Nuland Federation does have strong industrial strength and shipbuilding capabilities.

The fruits of the six years of the New Deal have also played a role in the development of the West Coast.

Of the ten heavy cruisers, six were improved at three shipyards on the West Coast, and only four returned to the East Coast region.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to complete it in just a few months.

The four ENN-class ships that went to the east coast for renovation will return to the Guia Ocean via the Wangxi Canal at the end of August and are expected to arrive at Jumbo Harbour in early September.

The air defense combat effectiveness of heavy cruisers is certainly not as good as that of fast battleships, but the deck area is much smaller, and there are not many anti-aircraft guns that cannot be installed.

It's just that it's better than nothing.

It was only after these ten heavy cruisers were in place that the Nuland Navy's aircraft carrier battle group began to take shape.

These few months are also crucial for the Nuland Navy's carrier-based aviation.

Although there are still many unsatisfactory points, such as the lack of high-performance fighters, as a bystander, the Nuland Navy at least knows how to fight the naval battle with aircraft carriers and carrier-based aviation as the core, and knows in which direction to work in order to win.

What's more, there are also officers of the narrow navy who appeared to say.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, in the past six months, the Sayama Navy has used submarines to send a large number of officers with actual combat experience, represented by Tian Shi, to the Nuland Federation.

They are now tactical advisers to the Nuland Navy!

All in all, by September, the Nuland Navy's five fleet carriers were in top condition and were able to keep it that way for three months.

It was based on this that the Sixth Bureau concluded that the Nuland Federation's entry into the war was imminent.

It is certainly not only the five aircraft carriers that should be concerned, but also the Guia Fleet, which is deployed in Jumbo Harbor and is mainly composed of ten pre-treaty battleships.

Critically, these ten former treaty-type battleships are already preparing for departure.

Because it is deployed in Zhenbao Harbor, it does not need to leave the port immediately, even if it is a few days late, it can be in front of the aircraft carrier battle group.

Although none of these battleships were fast enough for their top speed, their cruising speed was not slow at all, and they had quite an impressive endurance.

From the point of view of combat use, it is likely that these ten battleships will be sent to cover the convoy of transports.

To put it bluntly, it is to go to the front to attract firepower.

There is another issue at stake here.

The Imperial Navy has no warships to contend with!

Nine of the twelve old battleships that originally belonged to the Southern Fleet have been salvaged, but all of them are being repaired in the harbor.

Optimistically, it will take at least three years to fix it all.

Those that can be dispatched are the four "Longxing" class ships that were originally subordinate to the home fleet and are now part of the Fourth Fleet.

Of course, the Imperial Navy was not without battleships.

There are also four old and two new, a total of six fast battleships.

If you count the six fast battleships, there are exactly ten in total.

Actually, this just speaks for itself.

Why did the Nuland Navy deploy ten battleships in the Guia Fleet?

It was clear that he was coming for the Imperial Navy.

To put it bluntly, if the Nuland Navy escorted the fleet with ten battleships, should the Imperial Navy send a fleet dominated by battleships to intercept it?

How many battleships to sortie, if needed?

Only four "Longxing" class ships were dispatched, so if they really want to fight, they will definitely die without a place to be buried.

With six fast battleships, only heavy cruisers can be used to provide anti-aircraft cover for the aircraft carrier.

As a result, the air defense combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group will inevitably be greatly reduced.

The combat effectiveness of air defense is not strong enough, and in a battle of four to five, what are the chances of victory for the Imperial Navy?

Crucially, the Nuland Navy occupies the position of the main attack, while the Imperial Navy is the main defender.

To fight or not to fight, and how to fight the initiative, in the hands of the Nuland Navy!

Without the initiative, without the superiority of troops, and even the ability to resist strikes, is there still a chance of winning this battle?

If the Guia Fleet of the Nuland Navy came out of the nest and all ten battleships and five aircraft carriers were killed, the Imperial Navy would be very passive.

When the time comes, let alone intercept the convoy, it would be nice to be able to stop the Nuland fleet from going to the Narrow Empire.

If the commander of the opposing party is not too bad, the Imperial Navy may be more than lucky.

If you really want to start from a tactical point of view, you must definitely choose to strike first.

Unfortunately, this is also absolutely impossible.

At this point in the discussion, Xue Yuanzheng did not let the admirals led by Liu Changxun answer immediately, and gave Bai Zhizhan more time for them.

What follows has nothing to do with the Navy.

The Newland Federation officially entered the war and directly declared war on the Liangxia Empire, and the Bran Kingdom would definitely declare war on the Liangxia Empire as well.

How to deal with the threats and challenges of the Bran Kingdom?

Because the navy must concentrate its forces to deal with the Nuland navy, even if it achieves a great victory, it will not be able to send a fleet to Fanyanyang until next year, so in the next few months, that is, the early stage of the war with the Bran Kingdom, the direction of Fanyanyang will have to rely on the army.

The implication is that we should consider marching into Van Luo and opening a second battlefield in the direction of the Gangara Plain?
