"What do you think?"

After Bai Zhizhan asked, Li Mingbo touched his chin and didn't rush to express his opinion.

The information sent by Zheng Jiangming is enough to show that the current situation is very grim.

"If it's just 2 fast battleships, you need to make it so mysterious?" Zhou Yongtao paused for a moment before continuing: "Although the aircraft carrier of the Lu Xinhai Fleet has not appeared so far, those guys from the Bran Royal Navy will definitely not be stupid enough to think that we will let our guard down. I really want to say that I can't think of where else to go except to Fan Yanyang. The aircraft carriers are coming, so it is naturally not surprising to let the fast battleships follow. Besides, it's been more than half a month, what else is there to hide? ”

After Zhou Mingbo finished speaking, Bai Zhizhan did not answer.

"Will those aircraft carriers sneak to the Guia?" found that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Li Mingbo once again played the role of praise.

"What are you doing over there?" Zhou Yongtao looked at Li Mingbo with a puzzled face.

Li Mingbo only pursed his mouth, he just said it casually.

"I definitely didn't go to the Guia, there is no need for aircraft carriers there for the time being." Bai Zhizhan said at this time, "What I'm worried about is that the Royal Navy of Bran did not have three fleet aircraft carriers together, perhaps forming two task forces, and two fast battleships in one of them. ”

"This ...... How can it be? Zhou Yongtao looked even more surprised, as if he thought Bai Zhizhan was joking.

"Don't forget, in the previous battle south of the Danish Channel, Bran's fleet used carrier-based aircraft to search for the breakout of the Horman fleet, and found the returning fast oil tanker, and mistook the 'Prime Minister' for the oil tanker, and sent carrier-based aircraft to attack. If it was not a small aircraft carrier that participated in the battle, but a fleet aircraft carrier, then it was more than 2 fast battleships that quietly passed through the Shifan Canal more than ten days ago. ”

"If that's the case, you're too bold, aren't you?" Li Mingbo also found it hard to believe.

"Cunningham wasn't bold enough?" Bai Zhizhan smiled faintly, and then said: "If nothing else, even I don't dare to send carrier-based aircraft to attack the military port at night." Compared with sending aircraft carriers from the Xifan Canal through the narrow sea into the Fanyan Ocean, the two sneak attacks at the beginning of the month required courage. ”

"The troops are already insufficient, and the troops are divided into two routes, what is the benefit?" Zhou Yongtao followed and asked.

"Don't forget, there's also the Endeavour."

Zhou Yongtao frowned again.

"If I were Cunningham, I would first admit that it is impossible to defeat the mighty Imperial Navy by relying only on 3 fleet carriers of the Royal Navy. What's more, the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft are very backward, and there is no way to take advantage of the decisive battle with the Imperial fleet. Judging from the results of several naval and air battles in the Guia Ocean, the need for the Endeavour is even greater. If you want me to say, whether the Nuland Navy agrees to send the 'Endeavour' to the war is the key. ”

"And then?" Li Mingbo has no original opinions, so he can only continue to praise.

"Obviously, you have to act in secret. As long as the news leaks out, we will definitely not be able to achieve the purpose of the battle, such as blocking our progress in Lion Spring City. ”

"Are you saying that if we knew that the 'Endeavour' would be transferred to Fan Yanyang, we would not have attacked Lion Spring City?"

Bai Zhizhan smiled and said, "We still need to attack Shiquan City, but we won't go deep into Fanyan Ocean, and we will invest more troops on the side of Guan Island." ”

"Is the fake show really done?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded, indicating that Li Mingbo was not wrong.

"If that's the case, you should take the opportunity to take the island of Wei and the island of transit. After securing the springboard for the march into the Howaii Islands, there is hope that the Nuland Federation will be defeated within two years. ”

Zhou Yongtao suddenly said something, and Li Mingbo was startled.

It's just that Li Mingbo didn't refute.

Bai Zhizhan did not refute either, because this is also what he wants to say.

As long as the Nuland Navy dared to send the "Endeavour" to Fanyan Ocean, the Imperial Navy would dare to attack the transit island in advance, and even storm the Khowaii Islands.

It should be said that the "Endeavor" is the anchor of the alliance group in the Guia Ocean.

It is precisely because of this that Bai Zhizhan is suspicious that the Nuland Navy may not send the "Endeavour" to fight in Fanyanyang.

After pondering for a while, Bai Zhizhan said: "If the 'Endeavour' is on the way, we have reason to believe that Cunningham probably took the fleet to the South Sunset Ocean. ”

"Bypassing the Xuan Continent?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded and said: "It's very simple, to keep hidden, the 'Endeavour' can only go to the corner and join Cunningham in the South Sunset." ”

"In that case, maybe there's only one aircraft carrier on Cunningham's side." Zhou Yongtao added.

"It won't be one, it's more likely two." Bai Zhizhan thought for a while before saying, "The key point is actually to find a way to create a relatively favorable environment for the decisive battle. From Cunningham and Spu's point of view, the number one challenge for us to enter the Van Yanyang is to fight alone. Even if Shiquan City is successfully captured, because of the lack of foothold in Fanyanyang, the problem of logistics support is still very serious. ”

"Perhaps, this is the key to the formation of two fleets in the Royal Navy of Bran." Li Mingbo already understood the meaning of the war in vain.

Bai Zhizhan only nodded, even Li Mingbo had figured it out, and Zhou Yongtao would definitely be able to figure it out.

The fleet to the north, relying on the Kib fortress, will block the Cissand Strait and block the route to Posha Bay. If necessary, you can hide in the relatively safe narrow sea, or even block the Kisha Strait with mines, and you don't need to be strong, 1 aircraft carrier is enough.

Crucially, shore-based aviation deployed in the Kib fortress can be relied upon.

As long as the Bran fleet was active in the Musha Sea, even if it only left the military port, it would force the Imperial Navy to call back all the tankers bound for Posha Bay.

As for the attack on the Kibu fortress, it will not only take a lot of time to mobilize enough troops.

It can be seen that if it is only to hold the Kib fortress, 1 aircraft carrier is more than enough, and there is no need to invest more aircraft carriers here.

The main force, certainly the expeditionary fleet under Cunningham's command.

It's just that for the Imperial Navy, the trouble is big.

Conquering Shiquan City does not mean that it can run rampant in Fanyanyang.

So, do you go to Posha Cove first, or do you head south first?

If he hadn't guessed that Cunningham was to the south, he would have taken his fleet north to fight Bran's fleet at the Sea of Musha or the Western Fanyan Ocean.

When the time comes, it will be necessary to storm the fortress of Kib.

Because it is impossible to take the Kibu fortress in one fell swoop, the white stop battle will be lost.

If Cunningham had arrived with the main force at this time, he might have been able to annihilate the 11th Task Force in one fell swoop.

At this point, even if the Imperial Navy obtains 4 large aircraft carriers, it will have to retreat to Lion Springs and then spend several months preparing for the next attack.

Because of the lessons learned from the past, after the Imperial Navy relaunched the attack, it would advance steadily and steadily towards Posha Bay.

The key is to seize military positions along the route and protect shipping routes by establishing forward bases.

In addition, it is the deployment of shore-based aviation to provide support to the fleet.

Even if everything goes well, it will take a year, or even two years, to capture and control Posha Bay.

It's a pity that the empire simply doesn't have that much time.

There is no doubt that this is exactly what the Bran Kingdom and the Newland Federation want to achieve!

Obviously, this is also the most powerful basis for Cunningham to take the fleet to the South and the sunset, and the Nuland Navy sent the "Endeavour" over!
