Although he was waiting for news, Niz wasted no time and took this opportunity to give the operational staff of the headquarters a general overview of the current situation.

In fact, it is also to allow major generals such as Sp and Haar to look at the problem more objectively.

This steady style of being able to stay calm at all times is the characteristic of Nitsu, and it is also the key to commanding the Guia Fleet and making Hal and others willingly obey the command.

To say that Spu's attention to Nitz is also related to this.

Among the main front-line generals, Spu's personality is relatively close to Niz, and he can make sure that Tarzan collapses in front of him without changing his face.

There's not much to say about the current situation.

On the side of the Middle East Guia, Wei Island is used as the advance base, while the transit island is the center, and Honu Island, where the treasure port is located, is the rear base camp, forming a three-point line and a line, which is divided into three stages of defense line. If anything, the separation between the three lines of defense is really far.

These problems are being addressed, or rather remedied.

On the islands to the east of the transit island, the Nuland Navy has invested enough troops and resources to build them into continuous defensive support points, in order to provide more powerful support and cover for the transit island, and form a new defensive barrier to provide more effective cover for the rear of Jumbo Harbor.

This is also the key to Spu's belief that the Liang Xia Navy will not attack Wei Island.

To sum it up, it's just one sentence.

The capture of Wai Island will not change the strategic pattern in the direction of the Middle East and will be of little help to attack and occupy the Khowaii Islands.

Using Wei Island as a base not only requires a strong attack on the transit island, but also reveals the intention to attack the transit island.

In the direction of the Middle East in the direction of the ocean, it is a battle to the death.

Whether it is the attacking side or the defensive side, at least at the strategic level, there is no extra choice but to fight to the death with the opponent.

If anything, it is just to think of some tactical ways to reduce the difficulty of the operation.

Relatively speaking, the southwest and the eastward gaze are the places where troops are used.

This is also the key to why Niz did not fall to Spu.

Whether at the strategic level or looking at tactics, the Guia Ocean has given front-line commanders a big stage and can give full play to their commanding ability.

To put it figuratively, the Guia is a boxing ring, while the Guia is a drama stage.

This situation can be seen from the defense deployment of the Nuland Navy.

In the southwestern and southwestern Guiats, the first line of defense was the Tube Island and the Tuke Fortress.

To say, these are also two forward bases.

Although the Nuland Navy invested a lot of resources in these two locations and planned to defend them to the end, after the end of the offensive and defensive battles on the island, Nyze adjusted his defensive strategy and reduced his investment in the two places, which was equivalent to indirectly abandoning these two seemingly important islands.

In fact, the bloody battle on the island greatly reduced the strategic value of the island and the fortress of Tuke.

Although the bloody battle on the island caused the Liang Xia Navy to suffer heavy losses and consumed a lot of time, the impact on the Newland Federation was also very huge.

The most obvious thing is that it has dealt a heavy blow to the morale and morale of the Nuland military and civilians.

Before the bloody battle on the island, the Nuland Federation also hyped up that it would block the enemy's advance here and give the enemy a head-on blow.

Some news media even used the island as the starting point for a counteroffensive.

As a result, the Nuland army was defeated.

Although the Nuland authorities did not disclose the actual situation of the war, the news of the loss of the island and the full-scale bombing of the island has been reported to Nuland along with thousands of wounded, and has already spread among the people. Because the news is not transparent, on the contrary, the rumors are becoming more and more exaggerated.

Rumors that spread rapidly have also had an impact on military decision-making.

To put it simply, we can't afford to fail like this anymore.

In Nyze's words, as a result of the crushing defeat on the island, 30 percent fewer of the recruits recruited in May signed up for the Marine Corps and Navy.

In fact, this is also a big reason why Niz doesn't want to face the transit island.

If it is Wei Island that is attacked, you can choose to give up and block the relevant news, rather than fighting the Liang Xia army to the end on Wei Island.

On the contrary, if it is a decisive battle on the transit island, there is no room for maneuver at all.

This is more or less the case with the Tube Island and the Tuk Fortress.

According to Nize's deployment, if the island and the fortress of Tuk were attacked, he would directly hand over the decision-making power to the commander of the garrison.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the garrison would have held out to fight until the last moment.

Only after a complete loss of combat effectiveness will they surrender to the enemy.

The point is, Nyze has no intention of sending reinforcements to both places.

To the south of the fortress of Tuk was the Melanesian line of defense from New Guinea to the New Hebrides.

On this line, the Nuland army set up three main defensive support points from west to east, namely Port Moresby on the island of New Guinea, Kuah Island in the Solomon Islands, and Santa Cruz Port north of the New Hebrides. The distance between these three support points is within the operational range of the tactical aviation unit, and the tactical aviation units deployed in the three places can provide cover and support to each other.

If anything, this is the main line of defense in the southwestern and southwestern Guia.

From a tactical point of view, the Liangxia navy would either attack Port Moresby or Santa Cruz, and the combat difficulty was not low.

The former faces the continent of Ozhou and is able to get strong cover.

The latter is at the easternmost end of the defensive line, and the logistical supply line is more than 2,000 kilometers long.

In addition, after taking Port Moresby or Santa Cruz, it is necessary to lay the island of Guah in order to open the passage south to Austria.

As for the direct attack on Kuah Island, not only does it need to invest sufficient troops, but it is also more difficult to fight.

That's not all, though.

Further south, south of the Coral Sea, in New Caledonia, the Nuland Navy expanded the port of Noumea.

In other words, even if the Melanesian defense line in the north is breached, the Nuland Navy can still use Noumea to help defend Austria in the west.

Crucially, even from the nearest port of Santa Cruz, it is more than 1,500 kilometers to Noumea.

At the tactical level, the Liangxia Navy could not cross the Coral Sea under the cover of shore-based aviation, and had to send a task force to control sea and air supremacy.

It is not easy to control the Coral Sea completely and completely.

The Coral Sea is the largest sea in the world, and theoretically requires at least two task forces, and they have to act separately to cover the entire Coral Sea.

For the attacking side, it is definitely necessary to invest more troops in order to seize the initiative on the battlefield.

In a sense, the Coral Sea is a natural barrier to block the southward movement of the Liang Xia navy, and it is also the main reason why the Liang Xia navy is reluctant to attack Austria in the near future.

It can be seen that the basic defense idea of the South-West and Guia Ocean is actually to exchange space for time.

Even if it advanced as fast as possible, it would take at least a year for the Liangxia navy to capture the islands before it could attack Aozhou.

A year later, the Nuland Navy has recovered!

In fact, this is also the key to Sipu's belief that the Liangxia Navy will never attack Austria first, that is, the Liangxia Navy must take advantage of its absolute strategic superiority to obtain a decisive victory at the strategic level as much as possible, so as to dominate and influence the development of the war.

Obviously, the Guia is not the place to win.
