readx; After a long time, Wang Lin finally received a reply from Tran Island, which surprised him a little, but again, for him, this may be the best result. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The headquarters of the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet was on the island of Tran, but his main port was on the peninsula of Sumatra, so it was normal to send a telegram to the island of Tran.

In addition, the headquarters of the Interior Fleet is also in Tran Island, the headquarters of the Arctic Ocean Fleet is in Vladivostok, and the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet is located in Sydney, Australia, but there are three main ports, namely an island in the Solomon Sea, a seaport city in Australia, and the port of Hawaii.

The military department gave an accurate answer, starting tomorrow, the military department will have the Pacific Fleet set out to form a temporary second fleet, which will be the same size as the first fleet, consisting of two aircraft carrier battle groups.

Once formed, the Provisional Second Fleet would sail the ships directly to Saudi Arabia, where they would conduct acclimatization training and require daily contact between the First and Second Fleets.

Among them, the First Fleet mainly needs to understand the Second Fleet's preparations for war, and tell the Second Fleet some of the situation and experience on the front line, so that they can be prepared.

The Second Fleet, on the other hand, needs to understand the ammunition reserves of the First Fleet and its combat experience, make good preparations for war, and be ready to go to sea to fight at any time.

The meaning of the military department is obvious, that is, to tell Wang Lin, you don't have to worry too much about the situation on your side, you can fight as you want, and if the ammunition is not enough, they will let the Second Fleet go over to replace the First Fleet, and the First Fleet will also take this opportunity to return to Saudi Arabia to rest and recuperate, and then wait for the Second Fleet to replace them when the ammunition is almost exhausted.

In this way, the two fleets took over the battle at sea. Also give each other a chance to recuperate.

However, the First Fleet will have half the chance of being in the limelight by the Second Fleet. But for the fleet itself, it is advantageous.

First: the soldiers don't need to be too tired and tired. In general, the ammunition reserves of a fleet allow them to fight the war without interruption for at least half a month.

Second: The Pacific Fleet is very busy all day long, preparing for war every day, but in fact, they have not fought many battles, and now everyone knows that the United States is their next enemy, and the Pacific Fleet will definitely be the main force at that time.

Therefore, it is also good to be able to send a fleet from the Pacific Fleet to experience it first, and find the feeling of naval warfare, at least when dealing with the US Navy in the future, they will not have any experience.

In fact, there is no difficulty in fighting this kind of battle at all. To put it mildly, even if Wang Lin doesn't come out with the fleet, the fleet can complete the task well.

Because the British ** ships have no ability to resist in front of them at all, the only one who can threaten them is the British Air Force, but the British Air Force is also well arranged by them, and before the attack begins, the Luftwaffe will naturally contain them.

Even if the Luftwaffe fails to complete the mission, then with the strength of the more than 600 fighters of the First Fleet, there is no problem in self-preservation. Because Wang Lin had absolute reason to believe that the British would never send thousands of warplanes to attack his fleet at one time.

And the military order that Wang Lin set up for the above is also very straightforward, as long as the logistics supply can keep up, it is guaranteed that the fleet will not be in a situation of lack of ammunition supply at any time. Wang Lin was confident that he would destroy at least 80 percent of the British Navy's warships within a month.

Before the start of World War II, Britain mainly had 12 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 8 aircraft carriers, 15 heavy cruisers, 49 light cruisers, 119 destroyers, 64 frigates, 45 minesweepers, and 69 submarines, with a total tonnage of about 1.3 million tons and a total strength of 195,000 troops.

Other words. The British Navy had more than three hundred ships of all kinds before the war, and during the war. The British, because of the submarine tactics of the German Navy, suffered heavy losses in battleships. As a result, the construction of ships for the Navy has been accelerated.

The British, on the other hand, had the support of the United States, so there was no shortage of supplies, and after a few years of war, the strength of the British navy did not decline, but rose a step.

Although many warships were sunk by the Germans, it has to be said that there are more than 400 ships of various types that the British are now in service with, and almost 500 of them.

If I have to find something different, it can only be said that the strength of the British Navy has declined at present, because the expansion of the army is too fast, which has led to the quality of the soldiers being lowered.

But even so, the strength of the British Navy cannot be underestimated, and in this world, the British are still at the forefront in terms of the individual quality of the Navy.

In addition, some time ago, the Americans also sent a fleet of hundreds of warships to support the British, and these hundreds of warships can be said to form four aircraft carrier formations, yes, it is indeed four aircraft carrier formations, that is, the British have not only increased their strength on the sea, but even the strength of naval aviation.

At present, the British Navy has about 600 ships of various types, and there are as many as 20 aircraft carriers (plus eight aircraft carriers in four formations of the United States).

Although the number of aircraft carriers is not as good as that of the Chinese Empire, after all, they are fighting on their own soil, and they have too many advantages over the Chinese Empire in terms of supply and marine environment, and the Chinese Empire does not have any advantage in terms of the number of navies or air forces.

As a result, Wang Lin couldn't help but think of a tactic, a quick attack, using the radar advantage to launch a sneak attack on the designated target.

Although the current radar technology has made a breakthrough, it is far from being as powerful as people think, and the application of radar is only to increase some distance when detecting air targets.

However, it is still very difficult for them to find targets on the sea, so now that aircraft carriers are on the expedition, reconnaissance planes are indispensable, and reconnaissance planes must be constantly patrolling in every direction, and after discovering enemy troops, they will call the air force to launch an attack.

Unlike the Chinese Empire, warships are not only equipped with air defense radars, but also radars for detecting ships on the sea, in fact, even warships are currently unable to use radar reconnaissance against air targets.

Unless it is equipped with a professional reconnaissance ship, which is equipped with no weapons on it, and all the space is used to equip the radar, such a single ship.

Wang Lin looked at the map in his hand, which showed the location of the British ports marked by the Germans, that is, no matter how early or late the time was, they were going to attack these ports again, so that the British warships would have no port to return to.

The rest is all dependent on radar, and in real history, the air defense radar was moved to the warship during the Battle of Midway, when the Japanese air force followed behind the returning US Air Force, intending to sneak attack, and the US aircraft carrier launched an early warning to the fighters in advance.

Before that, the Americans could not do this, just like when they were at Pearl Harbor, it was not a few years away, and the Americans could only judge from the ground radar that it was a plane flying from the mainland.

As for the radar that scans the sea surface, it is basically absent and non-existent in this era. When the U.S. Navy bombed Tokyo, it was basically the end of the war, and there was a detail at that time that the U.S. bombers took off early, which eventually led to the tragedy of not having enough fuel.

The reason why the US bombers took off early was precisely because the Japanese warships accidentally bumped into the US aircraft carrier formation, and the US aircraft carrier group had to withdraw there as soon as possible, so the bombers had to be released ahead of schedule.

From this, it can be seen that the radar of those years was really not as advanced as that of later generations, and even the water could be detected.

After staring at the map for a long time, Wang Lin finally set the location of the first attack on about 500 nautical miles to the northwest of Portugal, which was only about 500 kilometers away from Ireland in Britain.

Although it was in the Atlantic, it was not the main shipping route for the British Navy, but it was the main shipping route for American supply ships.

Supplies shipped from the United States have to pass through here and then arrive in the United Kingdom.

On the one hand, it is precisely for this reason that although there are more ships passing by, correspondingly, they also have an escort fleet, and in one, the British did not have too many air defense radars in the Irish region.

Germany does not pay attention to the navy, this is known to the whole world, so if the Germans want to launch an air attack on Britain, they can only start from France on the other side, and the British set up air defense radar in Ireland is a bit wasteful.

Wang Lin wanted to take this opportunity to knock the British hard in the back when they were not paying attention, and let the British suffer a dumb loss first.

After deciding, when all the fighters were recovered, the supply of all the warships was almost completed, mainly for the supply of fuel, and at the same time, Wang Lin asked everyone except the staff on duty to start resting and recuperating.

The fleet, on the other hand, took advantage of the darkness to quietly sail to the first destination, a little far away, and when they sailed over, it was about two days later, and by that time it was about the same, striving to kill more enemies with one blow, and also let the Indian Ocean Fleet show its majesty.

The sea was silent in the dark night, only the sound of the water hitting the warships, all the warships were under light control, the radar was constantly scanning everything around, and the sonar soldiers tried their best to listen to the sonar to prevent them from hitting the reef during the night march or running to the shore carelessly.

In this way, at noon the next day, the fleet had quietly arrived near the Strait of Gibraltar, considering the safety of the fleet, Wang Lin did not order the fleet to go straight to the strait, but planned to wait until the evening to pass here, anyway, there was radar reconnaissance, no one would find them.

In short, it's just a sentence, quietly enter the village, don't shoot. (To be continued.) )
