The war does not mean that you can start fighting immediately if you want to, the Han Empire has not yet started the war mobilization mode, and it is impossible to blatantly send a large number of troops to Natuna Island, and the imperial territory is far away from the Chinese battlefield, which also determines that the early stage of the war must be a decisive battle at sea, and only by controlling the relevant sea areas can it be possible to transport troops in large quantities to land in China. Therefore, for the time being, Lin and Wang Yizhe can only be appointed as the commander of the base.

The South China Sea is not a small river ditch, Natuna is 1,900 kilometers away from the Chinese land, which is equivalent to the distance from Guangzhou to Beijing, and if such a long troop transport line cannot defeat the Japanese Navy first, how many transport ships full of soldiers will have to sink to the bottom of the sea under the sneak attack of submarines? Zhong Yi could not bear this kind of loss and did not intend to bear it. Even if you risk transporting the soldiers to China, what about the help? With China's weak industrial base, it is simply impossible to solve it on the spot, and the large number of armored units in the Imperial Army requires absolutely a huge amount of logistical supplements. As long as the little devil strangles the supply and transportation lines in the South China Sea, it is enough for the Imperial Army to collapse without a fight.

In order to confuse the Japanese Navy, the six aircraft carrier battle groups of the main force of the Dahan Navy have been training in Dahan Bay in the southern part of the mainland, and even the base is located in the port of Ayr on the Nullarbor Plain, which is the ugly place on the earth, and the Nullarbor Plain is also the only area on the mainland that still maintains a barren and old appearance after the base has a weather controller, and it is sparsely populated and sparse to the point that it can be called a no-man's land.

In the northern seas and the Northern Fleet in the South Sea Colonial Zone, so far, only one light aircraft carrier Kong Ming has appeared, this 20,000-ton first aircraft carrier of the Empire, in addition to being used as a training ship at the beginning, has been parked in the Northern Fleet's home port of Qingzhou Donglai Port, occasionally going out for a turn, but also to help transport some supplies to Jakarta, as for the few FQ-3 seagulls parked on the deck, it is a short-range take-off propeller anti-submarine aircraft torpedo aircraft, just from the appearance, in the military powers have gradually risen in the jet wave, It can only be regarded as a backward fighter.

It can be called powerful, that is, the two prince-class battleships of Fengxian and Bo Qi (Gongsun Zhan), and then the Xingba heavy cruiser is in the lower row, and a large number of other destroyers and frigates of less than 5,000 tons or even more than 2,000 tons cannot be seen by the arrogant combined fleet. As everyone knows, it is the Admiral-class destroyers and those smaller frigates that they now look down on that will make the Japanese Navy suffer so much in the future.

What made the Japanese Navy even more disdainful was the small caliber artillery on all the ships of the Northern Fleet, and in this era when giant ship cannons were still prevalent, the Royal Navy's behavior would really make people laugh off their big teeth. However, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the goldfish minister of the Japanese Admiralty, expressed his understanding, after all, the Han Empire was only founded three or four years ago, and it is quite remarkable to be able to build such a warship.

Regarding the theory of the threat of the Great Han that is spreading in China, Mitsumasa Yonechi, who once served as the commander of the Combined Fleet, believes that it is purely unfounded. This new empire did defeat the British expeditionary fleet, but in Mine's opinion, it was purely because the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Pound, was too stupid, and he lost to the Han navy, which did not have a navy at that time, right? It is incomprehensible that a powerful naval fleet has lost to the opposing army.

INTERVIEWER Japan's air force is not an independent branch of the armed forces, but is subordinate to the army and navy respectively.

Through the Battle of Nanyang, the Han army was impressive, but their opponents were only some Indonesian monkeys and those white officers who were only arrogant and stupid, and with tens of thousands of troops, the Imperial Japanese Army could also sweep them with just one division. Didn't you see that on the Chinese battlefield, Itagaki-kun could easily defeat more than a dozen of their divisions with one brigade?

The Emperor and the General Staff Headquarters have not decided whether the Imperial Army will go south or north, but Yonechi Masamitsu believes that if it goes south, those colonial forces and the so-called Han Empire will be vulnerable, and only the United States and the United States Pacific Fleet will be the main danger of the Combined Fleet.

The idea of the Japanese Minister of the Navy is exactly the result that Zhong Yi wants from his painstaking management. Japan is an island nation, and all island military powers rely heavily on its navy. Didn't Britain rely on the strength of the navy to dominate for more than a hundred years? As long as the combined fleet can be destroyed, Japan can only be a toothless tiger. Zhong Yi never thought of going back to China to blow up artillery towers and pick up railways with **** and the Eighth Route Army, and the more than 1 million Japanese troops were vulnerable in Zhong Yi's opinion. Don't look at the excitement of their **** fights, they often stage scenes with one enemy and ten, that's because the **** firepower is too pitiful, the 97-type Xiaodouding tank can be rampant in the land of China, you let it change to the Tiger style? Not to mention the heavier and thicker mammoth! Even the so-called light warrior tank of the Han military has much stronger armor than the Type 97, right? Let's not mention the reactive armor that is still attached to various tanks.

Therefore, the navy is about to fight a decisive battle, as long as the Japanese navy is defeated, Zhong Yi will have the confidence to drive the tank to the four islands of Japan.

With the construction of the Natuna forward base, Dahan's preparations for war against Japan entered the most intense pre-war stage, and Zhong Yi waited for a phone call from Navy Commander Zhang Zheng, waiting for him to report that the training of the new carrier-based aircraft had formed combat effectiveness, and that the four newly built aircraft carriers were proficient in cooperating with other frigates in the formation, which would take time.

The three major fleets hidden in Dahan Bay, six aircraft carrier formations, twelve of the latest Marshal-class second-generation aircraft carriers, and more than 100 cruisers, destroyers, and repair ships, and more than 80 Tornado-class ocean-going submarines, this is the true strength of the Dahan Royal Navy.

Sixty percent of the base's income was smashed by Zhong Yi to the navy, and it was only then to create these three luxurious deep blue fleets, which were the decisive forces fighting with Japan for the Asia-Pacific region compared to the famous Han Army.
