Chapter 394: Three Steps
The Luosha Federation's anti-water has become logical, does the Nuland Federation still need to take the only fleet aircraft carrier to take risks?
The answer is clearly no.
In fact, when speculating that the Nuland Navy would send a fleet to attack Dongdu Bay, the White War set a premise, that is, the Nuland Federation needed to use a decisive victory to consolidate the relationship with the Luosha Federation, reduce the pressure on the Luosha Federation, and ensure that the Luosha Federation could win on the mainland battlefield.
At the very least, we'll have to defeat the Empire before the first harsh winter arrives!
From a strategic point of view, the ability to defeat the Empire before the onset of the harsh winter will determine whether the Alliance can achieve a complete victory in this great war.
If not, then the best outcome is to survive until the end of the truce with the Liang Xia Empire, as in the last war.
Only by quickly defeating the Empire can we mobilize enough troops to besiege the Liangxia Empire in 101 of the new calendar, that is, before the Liangxia navy recovers, so that the Liangxia Empire will be difficult to take care of. If this favorable situation is maintained, it is expected that a complete victory will be achieved within two years.
According to the judgment of the White Stop, the Nuland Federation chose the time to enter the war in early October, which is related to this.
If the Luosha Federation had joined the Entente group willingly, and it had been premeditated, the speculation of the White War would not have been tenable.
From a safe point of view, even if there is a fear that the Empire will strike first, the Luosha Federation should launch a blitzkrieg in August.
This means that the Newland Federation will have to bring forward its entry into the war to early August.
If that was the case, perhaps the Imperial Empire would not have surrendered, and the Nuland Navy might have won the Battle of the Guia in the Northwest.
The reason is that the Imperial Navy may not be able to put four fleet aircraft carriers in the Guina Ocean in early August, when the Guia Typhoon is raging.
All in all, no matter how you look at it, the benefits of 2 months in advance are huge.
There was only one reason for not having done so two months earlier, and there were problems on the part of the Nuland Federation, such as the failure of Lofus to convince the domestic opposition in early August.
If you want to say, it may have something to do with the election of the Nuland Federation.
If they enter the war in August and the Nuland Navy suffers a crushing defeat, Lofos will undoubtedly lose the presidential election in early November.
On the contrary, postponing the war until early October would give Lofos a better chance of victory even if the battle was lost.
The point is that before the polling day of the election, the two ruling parties of the Nuland Federation will reach a compromise.
Fundamentally, when the Nuland Federation enters the war is a foregone conclusion, and whoever is elected president will have to lead the Nuland Federation to the war, Republican and Democratic politicians will not fight for a meaningless election, and the resulting disputes will make domestic contradictions more acute.
In a word: it's time to let go of illusions and face challenges.
It was only after a compromise with the Republicans that a third presidential election was a foregone conclusion that Lofos took action in early October.
This shows that in the Alliance Group, the Nuland Federation is the real core!
It's just that after postponing the time to enter the war until October, taking a huge risk, that is, the Luo Sha army may not be able to defeat the Romans before the harsh winter comes, then what reason is there to go against the grain and let the Nuland Federation, which is in a leading position, take risks for the Luo Sha Federation?
If you want to defeat the Liang Xia Empire, you must first defeat the Liang Xia Navy!
Defeat the Liangxia Empire from land?
After the "Battle of Atai", to be precise, after the Liangxia Empire took control of the hinterland of the huge continent, this possibility never existed!
Thousands of kilometers of desert and Gobi have never been conquered after the nomads.
Not to mention the Luosha Federation, even if the Nuland Federation sends troops, invests millions of ground troops, and has enough supplies, it may not be able to attack the hinterland of the Liangxia Empire from the west.
The situation is similar in the southwest.
Since the decisive battle was on the ocean, what reason did the Nuland Navy have to risk the only remaining fleet carriers?
When drawing up the battle plan, Bai Zhizhan and Zhou Yongtao, as well as several young staff officers who joined later, repeatedly discussed this issue.
The conclusion reached by the crowd is that the Nuland Navy will not take any chances.
It was at this time that the battle plan for the sneak attack on Wei Island was expanded into a part of the battle to enter the Middle East Ocean, that is, to capture the North Malaysia Islands and attack Guan Island, which was actually in the early stage. After the successful attack on Isle Wie, the Imperial Navy will attack the North Malaysia Islands and the islands of Guan.
The offensive operations on the side of the Yanhai will begin simultaneously.
This was the first offensive operation of the strategic level launched by the Imperial Navy in the direction of the Guia.
Retake the North and South Bean Islands?
It was originally an overseas territory of the empire, but it was set up as a demilitarized zone, and it was also self-governing by the locals, and the imperial ** team used to regain lost territory.
Attacking the Imperial Kingdom of Narrows?
Except for the strategic bombing and the landing operation to capture Changwai, the other battles were fought by the National Guard Force as the main force, which had little to do with the Imperial ** Force.
Sweeping the Icestorm Peninsula is a ground war.
The key is that in the empire's war plan, whether it is to recover the North and South Sadou Islands, sweep the Ice Storm Peninsula, or even defeat and occupy the Narrow Imperial State, it has nothing to do with "strategy", strictly speaking, it is all preparing for the next decisive battle with the Nuland Federation.
The Imperial authorities really didn't take these former territories and vassals seriously.
According to the plan that was eventually adopted, the basic goal was to destroy the airport and docks on Koh Wai and paralyze the island; Quickly seize the island south of the Northern Horse Islands, and turn this island into an advance base for the invasion of the island; Raid and storm the island and try to capture it.
The three goals are actually three stages.
Of course, there is a fourth stage, but it is not a goal that must be achieved.
If the island is captured very smoothly, and there are enough remaining troops and supplies, it is necessary to consider attacking and capturing the fortress of Tuk in the south.
In terms of importance, the Tuk Fortress is no less than the Pipe Island.
After the surrender of the Narrowish Empire, the Nuland Navy sent troops to take over the fortress of Tuke.
Later, after the Anglo-Spanish proclaimed the formation of a regime in exile, the narrow army of the Tuke fortress swore allegiance to it and obeyed the command of the Nuland navy.
Although the Nuland Navy did not send many troops to the Tuke Fortress, it was originally the nest of the Narrow Navy.
Before the outbreak of the Great War, the Tuke Fortress was the base camp of the Narrow Navy's southwestern and southwestern Guina, with a garrison of more than 30,000 troops and a sufficient amount of supplies. According to pre-war intelligence, even if there was a total blockade, the narrow garrison of the Tuk fortress would have been able to hold on for a year.
After Takano was finished, Lan Yun fled to the fortress of Tuk with the remnants of the permanent fleet, taking a fancy to this and trying to defend it.
It's just that the most difficult thing is actually a sneak attack on Wei Island.
If the sneak attack is successful, the next battle will be simple.
According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, there are not many enemies on the island side, and what really needs to be considered is actually the thousands of local natives.
In addition, after the occupation of the island, it is the same whether to attack the island immediately or not.
The island is close enough to the island and within the strike range of tactical aviation, so that it can use the combat aircraft deployed on the island to blockade the island.
Of course, that's all for later.
What needs to be considered now is how to attack Wai Island.
To say, the most important thing is patience!
