Bai Zhizhan went to the officer's cafeteria for dinner, and as soon as he returned to the commander's bridge, the communications staff officer sent new news.

In the evening, the four destroyers led by the permanent fleet sailed out of the fortress of Tuke, and the warships in the harbor had also anchored, and they were all set off tonight.

In addition, the Imperial State of Narrowness suddenly announced the requisition of four Newland oil tankers.

The Imperial Kingdom of Samui has played a little trick here.

Three days ago, the four tankers had already left the fortress of Tuk, each carrying more than 10,000 tons of heavy oil. The four tankers did not go to the island, but sailed north.

At the time of the announcement of the requisition, four oil tankers were sailing on the high seas and were not under the control of the Sagi navy.

According to the original arrangement, the navy may have wanted to send tens of thousands of tons of heavy oil back to the mainland, but did not think of requisitioning oil tankers.

Now announcing the requisition of oil tankers is actually helping the Nuland Federation to absolve itself of responsibility.

In the telegram, the naval command highlighted the value of the four tankers and the approximately 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil they carried.

The four "Golden Steel" class ships can each carry up to more than 6,000 tons of fuel, and the theoretical maximum range is 10,000 nautical miles. Because it is necessary to sail quickly when carrying out anti-submarine maneuvers, it is also necessary to consider the influence of ocean currents, and it is impossible to wait for the fuel to be burned out before resupplying, so the actual endurance is definitely not 10,000 nautical miles, and under normal circumstances, it will be considered for replenishment when consuming 30% of fuel.

Even under ideal conditions, only forty percent of the maximum range can be achieved.

In addition, the theoretical endurance of seven heavy cruisers was 8000 nautical miles, and it could only be achieved at a speed of 14 knots. If the cruising speed of 18 knots of the "Golden Steel" class is carried out, the endurance of these heavy cruisers will be greatly reduced, and 6,000 nautical miles is not bad.

Combined with these, it is not difficult to judge that even if it is directly returning to the Sagi mainland, the permanent fleet will have to carry out a refueling operation on the way back. If you are going to Liuhuangdao to fight and attack the special mixed group, it is best to carry out two slightly smaller supply operations on the way back.

Theoretically, the permanent fleet should be replenished with at least 45000 tons of heavy oil.

Four tankers loaded 50,000 tons of heavy oil.

However, it may just be a coincidence.

Tian Shi and Lan Yun did not have the ability to predict the future, at most they said that they would send the 50,000 tons of heavy oil back so that they could be used by the permanent fleet after returning to the mainland.

The speculation made from this is that the Naval Command Department of Saori has given Lan Yun an order to lead the permanent fleet to fight on Liuhuang Island.

It can be seen that Narrowly Yi is ready to defend Liuhuangdao.

At the end of the telegram, Liu Changxun once again clarified the mission of the First Task Force: to do its best to block the permanent fleet and provide cover for the task force.

As for the battle against Liuhuang Island, it had nothing to do with the First Task Force.

In addition, after the landing operation begins, the Navy Command will inform Liu Xiangzhen of the news of the activities of the First Task Force in the Guia Ocean. If the White Stop War wants to make adjustments to its deployment, such as abandoning the operation of blocking the permanent fleet, it must be notified before then.

According to the plan, as long as the battle of Huangdao for the landing operation is started, it cannot be adjusted at will.

In this arrangement, it is actually for the sake of the overall situation.

If there is trouble on the side of the Bai Zhizhan, such as if the "Hengjiang" has a serious malfunction, it can still terminate the landing operation at Liuhuang Island in time, or let the special task force make adjustments, such as temporarily shifting the focus to the permanent fleet, so as not to suffer greater losses.

Actually, Bai Zhizhan was really not worried about Liu Xiangzhen.

Now the key is on the opponent's side.

How is Lan Yun going to fight this battle?

After reading the telegram, Bai Zhizhan walked in front of the chart.

Geographically, the Tuke Fortress belonging to Microcros is actually located in the southeast of the island, about 1,000 kilometers apart, farther east than the Northern Horse Islands and the Volcanic Islands, just on the route from Austria to the island, and at the same time holding the route from the southwest to the Imperial Kingdom of Saoyi.

At the beginning, the Imperial Navy chose Tuke and did not choose the island in order to enter the southwest and the sea in the future.

In the time of Marshal Chen Bingxun, the Imperial Navy had been preparing for the invasion of Austria in the southwestern and eastern seas, and the operation of the Tuke Fortress was one of them. It's a pity that until Chen Bingxun's untimely death, the Tuke Fortress was not built, and the plan to expedition to Austria was always just a plan.

Objectively speaking, having controlled the Tuk Fortress, there is no need to control the island.

In the latter part of the last war, the Nuland Federation quickly sent troops to the island, which had a lot to do with the siege of Tuke Fortress by the Narrow Empire.

At that time, the Imperial State of Satoyi had already conquered the other islands in the Northern Horse Islands, and if it took the fortress of Tuke, it would be able to blockade the Guia Ocean and turn the Guina Ocean into an inland sea.

This meant that the Nuland Federation's control over the only colony in the Guia Ocean, the Southern Pearl Kingdom, would be severely weakened.

By controlling the island and opening up sea routes, we will be able to strengthen our control over the South Pearl Kingdom.

No, Guan Island is still a paradise for primitive tribes.

Interestingly, the Narrow-Sized Imperial State did not seize Guan Island, but it felt that there were several cannibal tribes on this island, and the Nuland Federation might not be able to see it.

Tuke is too close to Guan Island, a distance of 1,000 kilometers, even in the days of ironclads.

As for the Army's "horn" tactics, it won't work in the Navy.

"Lan Yun is not stupid, he can be said to be the general who knows the most about aviation operations in the Narrow Navy. Besides, he suffered such a big loss in the Yanhai, and he would never fight hard with the special gangsters. Zhou Yongtao told his judgment on the chart. He will certainly head north from the east of the North Malaysia Islands to delay the exposure as long as possible. Then turn around and sail westward somewhere in the middle of the archipelago to try to get to the front of the Pack. ”

"If you use this set of tactics, you have to know the whereabouts of the special group in advance."

"There are dozens of patrol aircraft on the island, as well as a dozen warships. If needed, the Nuland Navy will also send more patrol aircraft to the island. ”

"It's certainly not enough."

"You mean ......"

"We have declared war on the Imperial State of Narrowness, and in accordance with the international laws of war, the task force has the right to shoot down the combat aircraft of a third country after it has determined that it is threatened. Even if it was just a patrol plane, as long as it was a military aircraft, it would definitely be a threat, so it was deserved to be shot down near the task force. This is the international law of war, and the Nuland Federation has to recognize it, so when the time comes, I am afraid that the patrol aircraft will not be allowed to take risks. ”

"You mean, Lan Yun can't rely on the Nuland Navy's patrol planes to find the task force?"

Bai Zhizhan nodded, and said: "At most, we can determine the sea area where the special mix group is located, a general range of activities, which is obviously not enough for Lan Yun to launch an assault." ”

Zhou Yongtao thought about it seriously.

"Your analysis is not wrong, he will go north from the east of the North Malaysia Islands, but relying not on the Nuland Navy's patrol aircraft, but on his own patrol aircraft."

"This ......"

"Don't forget, the person in charge of the defense of the homeland is Tian Shi, he knows more about aviation operations than Lan Yun, and he will definitely make full use of the North Malaysia Islands. In addition, the 97 ships of the Sagi Navy have a range of more than 7,000 kilometers, and they can cover the waters south of the volcanic archipelago even from the mainland. ”

Zhou Yongtao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Otherwise, let's also play a little trick and make a few articles with those 97 boats." ”

Bai Zhizhan didn't speak, just shook his head while laughing.

Young people have flexible brains, so there are a lot of ideas!
