Dongfan Yanyang, "Wasp".

Early in the morning, before the sky was completely bright, Sp came to the Commander's Bridge.

As usual, he would go through the logbook of the previous night, and the telegrams he had received, and then listen to the briefing while he had breakfast.

Usually, Tian Shi would go to the officers' cafeteria for breakfast after the briefing, and then go back to the cabin to sleep.

Although in terms of personal identity, Tian Shi is still a narrow soldier, but after the Battle of Fanyan Ocean in the southwest, he officially became the commodore of the Nuland Navy.

To put it simply, he now has dual citizenship.

There was nothing important to report to Sp, and as for the few battle reports received last night, they were not much different from the previous days.

If anything, in this operation, Spu's talent was most fully displayed.

More than a month ago, that is, on the "Wasp", he saw Sp who came in a hurry, and after learning what Sp was going to do, Tian Shi was almost scared silly.

In Tian Shi's words, only the craziest people can come up with such crazy tactics!

It can also be said to be bold.

At that time, Tian Shi felt that Spu was evading, and even giving up on himself, with a little bit of broken jars and no regard for the consequences.

Affected by this, Tian Shi's mood became very low for a while.

Until that battle with the combined fleet of the Entente bloc.

With about the same number of troops and the encounter four hours earlier than expected, Sp was able to control the battle.

To be precise, it is to make an accurate judgment on the development of the battle situation.

At that time, if it were someone else, even Tian Shi, he would definitely immediately order a retreat and take the initiative to disengage from the Combined Fleet.

The reason is very simple, the combined fleet has 3 fast battleships with fierce firepower, while the Spp has only 2.

As long as the situation gets out of control, then 2 small aircraft carriers hiding behind 2 "North Carolina" class will be spotted and then subjected to merciless shelling.

Obviously, if there had been a retreat at that time, there would certainly have been no subsequent victory.

Even if you fight to the end and don't sink 3 fast battleships, the victory achieved is of unbeatable value.

If nothing else, if the Combined Fleet had not been routed and was still based in the port of Colombo in Sri Lanka and operating in the Bay of Bengal, the 31st Task Force under the command of Spu would definitely have to stay in the East Van Yan Ocean and would definitely not go to the North Van Yan Ocean to attack the transport fleet.

If that were the case, it would certainly not be able to open up the situation.

Of course, it is a pity that 3 fast battleships were not sunk.

However, he was able to lure the Combined Fleet over, and concluded that the commander of the Combined Fleet lacked experience and courage, and then set a trap to severely damage the Combined Fleet, and when the situation exceeded expectations, he was still able to calmly command the battle, and finally won the victory.

It's just this ability that makes Tian Shi admire it very much.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After that, when Spu suggested to Niz that Hal command the two repaired fleet aircraft carriers and try to make some trouble on Lu Xinhai's side, Tian Shi was even more impressed. It's not just command ability, it's strategic vision excellence.

Fundamentally, Fanyanyang's actions are just small fights that don't make a climate.

If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to find a way on Lu Xinhai's side.

Here, Spu's ability to judge the situation on the battlefield is most clearly reflected.

The point is that his proposal must be in line with the appetite of the Bran Royal Navy, and it can be said that he will be able to get the full cooperation of the Bran Royal Navy.

As for the specific actions, it couldn't be simpler.

Of course, Sp didn't leave Task Force 31 idle.

When Hal took the 41st Task Force to Lu Xinhai to support and assist the Royal Navy of Bran in the counterattack on Malta, he also took the 31st Task Force to kill all sides in the Fanyan Ocean.

When arranging the operation to break diplomatic relations, Spu's ability to plan and command aviation operations was also well demonstrated.

However, this is mainly a kind word, because most of the time, Spu only determines the general direction, such as the scope of the fleet's activities, and the tactical work is basically the responsibility of Tian Shi, such as arranging for carrier-based aircraft to search for and attack the transport fleet of the Liang Xia Empire.

The key is to maintain the combat effectiveness of the aviation as much as possible, that is, to reduce combat losses.

To put it, it is that the logistics support cannot keep up.

Don't look at the continent of Austria to the east, but due to the limitations of infrastructure, the Nuland Navy has not deployed too many troops in the west coast of Austria, nor has it been able to deploy too many troops, so it is difficult to provide support and support to the fleet operating on the Fanyan Ocean.

Even replenishing the lost carrier-based aircraft is very troublesome.

For this reason, it is necessary to use as many escort warships as possible, especially destroyers with a large number of them.

As for fuel, it's not a big deal.

After arriving in Austria, Spark requisitioned 4 fast tankers and 6 ordinary tankers, let the 4 fast tankers follow the fleet activities, and the 6 ordinary tankers remained in Perth.

Even if the speed of navigation has been maintained, Task Force 31 will be able to operate in the Fanyan Ocean for 3 months.

Relatively speaking, it is food and other supplies that need to be considered, especially fresh fruits and vegetables.

Although the problem of scurvy has long been solved through technical means, in practice, it is still necessary to fully take care of the appetite of officers and men.

In fact, it is not entirely dependent on drugs.

According to the mandatory rule, after a month after the fleet went to sea, each officer and soldier would have a lemon every day to supplement vitamin C, which is difficult to obtain in other foods.

However, these are only basic needs.

In order to improve his life, before leaving Perth, Spark made arrangements to mobilize dozens of long-range patrol aircraft to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to the fleet.

If anything, the biggest advantage of being remote is that you don't have to worry about leaking information.

Perth's indigenous population is less than 20,000, and almost all of them, except for fishermen, are farmers, and they don't pay much attention to the recent arrival of the Nuland army.

In addition, the local communication facilities are extremely poor.

In the whole of Perth, only the post office has a radio station.

If you don't use a radio station, it will take at least two days to drive to a town with a radio or telephone.

Clearly, for spies, Perth is a black hole of intelligence.

Comparatively speaking, it is more reliable to send submarines outside the harbor to monitor incoming and outgoing ships and passing ships, at least there is no situation where it is impossible to send out the news after a discovery.

Of course, these are all trifles.

Among the telegrams received last night, there was one thing that deserves attention.

A convoy of Liang Xia will leave Lion Springs in the near future, most likely destined for Gwadar, transporting mainly weapons and ammunition.

The point is that the fleet will definitely be covered by an escort fleet and will also sail in the inshore waters.

The telegram came from Hwaseong, and the intelligence agencies did not confirm the reliability of this information, let alone provide specific information about the fleet, such as when to depart, how many transport ships in total, how many warships would be arranged to escort the ship, which ports to stop at on the way, or go directly to the destination.

Of course, maybe tomorrow there will be definite information.

To be sure, hundreds of ships have been stranded in Lion Springs because of the threat of Task Force 31, many of them military freighters, and they are carrying the equipment and supplies needed to advance into Posha Bay, especially the tanks and combat vehicles that must be centrally transported.
