"Do you know why I'm reluctant to fight Bai Zhizhan at this time?"

Sp suddenly came out with a sentence, which made Tian Shi a little dazed, or at a loss.

"If the information we obtained before is correct, then we are in the most dangerous situation now, and almost all the favorable conditions are in the hands of Bai Zhizhan."

"This ......"

"If you really want to say, we are not in the same situation now as we were before the Battle of the Northwest and Guia."

"It's not that bad, is it?"

In fact, Tian Shi felt that his question was very stupid.

According to the latest information, the Liangxia Navy was definitely prepared, not only using new bombers and torpedo planes, but even replacing fighters with the latest batch.

Now, the three main carrier-based aircraft of the Liangxia Navy have the ability to easily crush the opponent.

The key, in fact, is the combat radius.

Even torpedo planes have a combat radius of up to 700 km, and dive bombers even exceed 1,000 km with a modest reduction in bomb load.

Compared with the Nuland carrier-based aviation, the Liangxia carrier-based aviation has a strike distance of at least 200 kilometers.

As long as they take full advantage of this advantage, the Liang Xia fleet can fight outside the strike range of the Nuland fleet to ensure that it will not be attacked.

In theory, the Nuland fleet could not even fight back.

In addition, the "Roaring" fighters of the Liangxia fleet are much stronger than the "Wildcats" of the Newland Navy, and the performance of the latest batch has been greatly improved.

If this were the case, even if Spark had to launch a one-way attack by carrier-based aircraft, it might not be able to achieve results.

If the number of carrier aircraft is included, the White Stop War is almost invincible!

Even if Cunningham's 2 "Brilliant" class ships are counted, the combined fleet does not have much chance of winning.

In fact, after meeting up with Cunningham, Spark sent a telegram suggesting that Cunningham abandon the "Swordfish", which were already completely useless, and use the vacated space to carry a few more "Wildcats". Bringing more fighters will at least enhance the air defense combat capability of the fleet.

Alas, Cunningham felt that this was redundant.

At that time, Tian Shi also joked with Spud, saying that the Bran fleet had not fought against the Liang Xia fleet, so Cunningham did not know the strength of the Liang Xia navy.

It was precisely because of this that Spark slowed down in the sunset and deliberately pulled behind Cunningham.

According to the plan at that time, Cunningham was to go to the front to act as a bait, lure out the Bai Zhizhan battle, and consume the attack power of Liang Xia's fleet.

Finally, Task Force 61 plays the role of fisherman.

When making this deployment, Spark emphasized two points.

One is that Cunningham's expeditionary fleet has 2 fast capital ships, that is, 2 "Prestige" class battle cruisers. Both battlecruisers were reinforced with anti-aircraft firepower, making them veritable anti-aircraft warships that could provide effective cover for fleet carriers.

Second, the Bran aircraft carrier has better protection, stronger survivability, and is more resistant to beating.

Of course, it's all an excuse.

If you want to say anything, it is precisely because of these that after being calculated by Cunningham, Spu has a bitter word.

"We'll turn now, maybe it's too late to ......"

"Running for your life?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Spu, but Tian Shi was not angry, but was surprised, after all, Spu's tone seemed to be vindictive.

"If we hadn't gone to Austria and had chosen to turn back, not to mention what Lofs would have done to us, at least the guy who lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Luntai would have made a big fuss about it, putting the blame for the defeat on us, and even claiming to have been betrayed by us. If so, I dare say, we'll be taken away by the gendarmes before we get back to Treasure Harbour or Nok Base. ”

Tian Shi sighed.

Spu's words are not finished yet, but it is the same whether he says it or not. After falling out with the Bran Kingdom, what awaits the Newland Federation is inevitable defeat.

"If you still go to Austria according to the plan, you must face the Liangxia fleet and face the White Stop War!"

"But now ......"

"Anyway, we've got at least one more night."

After Spu said this, Tian Shi didn't react at once. After figuring out the meaning of Spu's words, he was immediately frightened.

"We have an aircraft carrier, if there is a ......"

"Cunningham has two more."

"But he ......"

"Cunningham is very cunning indeed, and there's no denying that he's very good at taking chances and knows how to take advantage of them."

"The Nuland Navy has only this aircraft carrier."

"If we don't kill Bai Zhizhan here and miss the opportunity to annihilate the Liang Xia fleet, what's the point of keeping the 'Endeavour'?"

"......"

Spu pressed his hand and said, "If you want me to say, Bai Zhizhan is worthy of ten aircraft carriers." This is the best chance to take him out after the war starts. ”

This time, Tian Shi honestly closed his mouth.

Spu was not wrong, and it was indeed a great opportunity to take out the white stop.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the Liang Xia fleet can be severely damaged, there is a great certainty that the Liang Xia fleet will be annihilated, and there will even be a chance to capture Bai Zhizhan at that time.

Without Bai Zhizhan, who else is there in the Liangxia Navy?

Is Liu Xiangzhen?

In the Battle of the Northwest and Guia Sea, Liu Xiangzhen capsized in the gutter, and if it wasn't for Bai Zhizhan to make a timely move, most of them would have been planted in the hands of Hal.

The key is that Liu Xiangzhen is more conservative and not as aggressive as Bai Zhizhan.

In other words, it is less aggressive.

As long as it can kill Bai Zhiwar, even if the "Endeavor" sinks, it will be worth a thousand dollars.

In fact, Tian Shi and Spu have already done deductions.

In the absence of a vain war, even if Liu Xiangzhen played extraordinarily, it would take 5 years for the Liangxia Navy to win the Guia War.

It is more likely that because there was no way to achieve a complete victory, the Liang Xia Empire was forced to make peace with the Alliance.

Tian Shi even proposed to let the intelligence agencies find a way to see if they could kill Bai Zhizhan through abnormal means, even if it was dishonorable.

Now that there's a chance to take out the White Stop, why not give it a go?

To put it another way, even if you escape, what can you do?

In the beginning, Sp has already mentioned.

If he is defeated in Fanyanyang, even if he takes the "Endeavor" to Austria, he will definitely not be able to turn the tide by relying on this fleet aircraft carrier alone.

When the Liang Xia Navy captured Posha Bay, it would be too late to regret it.

Although the loss of Posha Bay is a sure thing, there is an essential difference between the early months and the later months.

Thinking of this, Tian Shi couldn't help but talk.

If it weren't for being cornered and having no other choice, Sp would never have had such an all-and-nothing idea.

In Tian Shi's understanding, Sipu is a very stable general. As long as there were other options, he would never risk the fleet.

By the time he came to his senses, Sp had already called the communications staff officer over and asked him to contact the expeditionary fleet.

In one night, if you can make the most of it, you can shorten the distance by hundreds of kilometers.

Even if the odds of winning are still slim, at least you can fight it.

When it comes to the distance of the bayonet, it is impossible to say who will kill the deer.

On the battlefield, the pilot's ability and courage are also the key factors in determining victory or defeat.

For the Nuland fleet, which is fighting on its back, perhaps the most important thing is the courage to fight to the death.

Moreover, aviation operations are originally about striking first and suffering later, and as long as the opportunity is seized, perhaps a wave of attacks will be able to rewrite history.
