It was almost dawn that the communications staff officer delivered the latest news.

That's right, it's the reconnaissance report of the submarine.

More than one submarine, reports have already been received from several submarines, and these reports are being sent back one after another

Previous intelligence was confirmed that both task forces of the Liangxia Navy had left the anchorage in the early hours of local time, and the landing fleet had also anchored before dawn.

According to conservative estimates, in addition to the four large aircraft carriers, the Liangxia Navy also dispatched at least 100 ships, including four fast battleships.

In addition, the landing fleet is capable of transporting at least 2 Marine Divisions.

This is also in line with the previous judgment, there are 2 marine divisions on the side of the volcanic archipelago.

If other intelligence is also credible, then the Liangxia Navy will also dispatch 2 small aircraft carriers, 2 fast battleships and dozens of transport ships in the near future.

With so many ships, they could conquer any island in the Guia Ocean!

The key is the departure time of the three fleets.

As Spu had judged, the two task forces were to depart at the same time, and the 21st Task Force to the south was to leave the anchorage earlier.

This means that most of his speculations are correct.

The Liang Xia navy was not going to attack Wei Island, but Transit Island.

It's just that Spu wasn't happy.

If anything, when the communications staff officer sent the message, he was still a little disappointed.

For the same reason, Niz will definitely let him take 2 small aircraft carriers to fight hard, defend the transit island at all costs, and turn the tide of the war here.

Is it that easy?

If it could easily turn the tide of the war, the Nuland Navy would have already grasped the strategic initiative.

The other party, in the hands of Bai Zhizhan, is 4 large aircraft carriers!

As for the combat effectiveness of large aircraft carriers, Spu has a good idea in his heart, because on the mainland, he has already seen large aircraft carriers that are still under construction.

In addition, there is enough intelligence to prove that the Liang Xia Navy's "Xing Province" class large aircraft carrier surpasses the "Ethiopia" class under construction in all aspects, and is the most powerful aircraft carrier today, and it is even possible that it is on top of all the aircraft carriers that the Nuland Federation can currently build.

The reason is also very simple, the aircraft carriers of the Liangxia Navy are not restricted by the locks of the Wangxi Canal.

Due to the size constraints, the Ethiopian class was cramped when designed, and the designers had to make trade-offs between several main features.

Before returning to Treasure Harbor, Spark sent a telegram to Nitz, asking him to personally intervene and ask the Admiralty to allocate funds for the design and construction of the new aircraft carrier as soon as possible, and not to make any restrictions during the design phase, especially not to be limited by the size of the Wangxi Canal locks.

Only by loosening restrictions can we design aircraft carriers with more powerful combat effectiveness.

As for traveling between the two oceans, it is not a factor that needs to be considered.

Until the Guia defeated the Liangxia Navy, the Nuland Navy had no reason to deploy a large aircraft carrier in the Sunset Ocean.

Besides, even if aircraft carriers are to be deployed in the sunset, more "Ethiopia" classes can be built, and this cannot be used as a reason to limit the size of aircraft carriers.

To this, Niz gave a clear answer.

He will try to get the best warship for the navy, but he can't guarantee a perfect result, after all, the No. 3 lock of the Wangxi Canal will be completed and navigable within the year.

The size of the new aircraft carrier may be able to be based on the No. 3 lock.

If so, it's actually enough.

At the time of design, the No. 3 lock relaxed the tonnage of navigable ships to 100,000 tons, and the requirements for the size of the ships were also broader, with a maximum length of 350 meters and a maximum width of 75 meters, which can fully accommodate all aircraft carriers under construction and preparing to be built.

It was almost noon, and the situation was basically clear.

Nyze offered to go to lunch, but after Hal and Frye went out, he called Spur out of the headquarters and did not go to the dining room.

The two drove to the port.

"When President Lofos asked me to take over the Guia Fleet before I entered the war last year, I was not sure, or rather very confused. You should know that when the Liang Xia Navy slaughtered all sides and ravaged the once powerful Narrow Navy, even the most powerful generals, I am afraid they did not have the confidence to win. It's just that at the time, I couldn't refuse the president's request. ”

"It's the duty of a soldier."

"It is the duty of citizens, we are all citizens of the Nuland Federation, and we are also soldiers of the Nuland Navy.

Spark sighed to himself, he knew exactly what Nyze was for.

"I know what you're worried about, and I can fully understand your concern. The enemy is very strong, and if you go to meet it, it is almost equivalent to death. ”

"Even if you die in battle......"

"It's not time to say anything like that yet." Nyze didn't let Sp continue, but said with a smile, "If one day in the future, we have to fight here, I am willing to bravely face the enemy with you, and insist on fighting until the last moment." ”

"General......

"I've already called the Admiralty, and those two aircraft carriers may be able to be repaired next month."

Spu was stunned and looked at Niz in disbelief.

"That's the best outcome, maybe until August. However, it will definitely return to Guia in the third quarter. ”

"We may not be able to make it to that point."

"That's your calling."

Spoon's brow furrowed, and what Nyz said was not simple.

"You take 2 small carriers and 2 fast battleships, and whatever other active ships you want, and go and buy these few months. If, by that time, we are still fighting hard with the enemy on the transit island, I will also hand over the repaired 2 aircraft carriers to you to command. ”

Spark let out a long breath, and his face didn't improve.

"No faith?"

"If you were to say yes, would you believe it?"

Nyze smiled and said, "Confidence or not, for you are the only commander so far who has any hope of leading the fleet to victory." ”

"There are no restrictions on combat operations?" To be able to ask this question shows that Spark has made a decision that he is willing to take on this burden.

"No restrictions." Nyz replied very simply. It was clear that as long as Sp was willing to lead the fleet on the expedition, everything else was easy to say.

Sp pondered for a while, and then said, "If there is no fleet, or no carrier-based aviation, how long can we hold on to the transit island?" ”

"It depends on how many troops are invested and how much sacrifice is already being made." Nyz didn't say anything, after all, what came out of his mouth was a promise and a promise.

Besides, Niz isn't the kind of person who likes to talk about it.

Sp didn't say much, waiting for Nyz to continue, because he felt that there was no need to make assumptions at all, and that he must be giving his all.

"I don't dare to say more, two months is definitely no problem."

"So, what we need to fight for is actually just one more month?" After hearing Nyzz's answer, Spu's face became slightly better.

"Almost."

"All I need is 2 small carriers, 2 fast battleships, a few cruisers and a few destroyers, and enough supply ships or tankers." Sp paused for a moment before saying, "Of course, there's also the absolute authorization so that I can do it!" ”

Nitz smiled with a relieved smile, and Spu's request was not a problem.
