Chapter 597: The Burning Ocean (III.)

Victoria heard the meaning of her sister's words, and couldn't help but change her face slightly: "Are you worried that the states will take advantage of the fire between our army's main fleet and pirates and the internal air defense, send warships to blockade Baiou Harbor, and copy our hometown?" Is this possible...... They won't do such a crazy thing! ”

"Roland often said to me an oriental proverb, 'You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Lyubov sighed in a low voice, "I pulled out these old guys who hold the military power of the states, just to give a warning to the authorities of the states, if they want to turn against the water, they must weigh whether they can afford to bear the consequences of the fish being killed, these old guys are like hostages in our hands, without their nod, it will be difficult for the authorities of the states to mobilize their navies, at least until the end of this naval battle, Baiou Harbor does not have to worry about being attacked by the joint attacks of the states." ”

"If we win this war." Victoria couldn't hide her worries, "Fighting the Maximian fleet head-on, frankly we don't have much chance of winning, and now we can only count on that amazing army on the Island of Eagles." ”

Lyubov picked up the intelligence copy in his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The enemy's main fleet is missing one light cruiser and two destroyers, which is consistent with the news from Roland's side, it can be seen that we have the initiative in the field of intelligence, and how to fight this battle next is all under your command, and my research on fleet operations is far inferior to yours, so I won't talk much." ”

A warm current welled up in Viktoria's heart, and she shook her sister's hand vigorously and replied loudly: "Lyuba, I won't let you down!" ”

"Yangbo" raised the flag: Rush at full speed!

The flagship took the lead, and the rest of the warships followed closely behind and rushed to the sea where Pearl Island was located.

When the shadow of the "Yangbo" appeared in the field of vision, the Sea Palace was still leading the wingmen around the coral atoll, intending to go around to the front of the White Gull Harbor fleet to fight an ambush.

"Damn idiot!" Through the binoculars, Renard saw that the White Gull Harbor fleet had arrived at the scheduled battlefield half an hour earlier than expected, and judging from the course, it was not going to Eagle Island at all, but directly to Pearl Island!

What does this mean?

It shows that people have long found out that there is a ill-intentioned fleet lurking behind the atoll, deliberately deceiving the flying shark with a cruising attitude, and then immediately assaulting at full speed, rushing to the horse before they set a trap, and caught off guard, and the ambusher fell into the embarrassing situation of being ambushed!

"There must be something wrong with the investigation!" Renard didn't dare to imagine that the Eagle Island had leaked information at the moment, so it was natural to blame the problem on the carelessness of the flying shark who was in charge of detecting the enemy, "A bunch of idiots who have air in their brains, and they don't even notice that others are following their butts, what's the use of raising you bunch of waste!" ”

"Okay, Renard, don't get angry, the situation on the battlefield is always so unpredictable, if you want to win, you must learn to face bad luck calmly." Maximian was shaving with a sharp Mithril razor, and gave instructions to the mirror without hesitation: "The whole fleet is facing the enemy, since it can't be ambushed, just face it hard, and the result will not make any difference." ”

That being said, there is a difference between an "ambush" and a "storm". Maximian's order was conveyed, and the fleet had to abandon the original battle plan and turn to the battle line, trying to engage the Blazer fleet head-on.

However, sea navigation is not a ground formation, and the 1,000-ton warship is affected by the waves and wind, and it is slow to move and turn inconveniently, and it takes a long time to re-set up the attack formation.

Victoria successfully seized the opportunity, predicted the next move of Maximian's fleet, and ordered the entire fleet to turn to the right, trying to seize the "T-head".

Since the naval guns are arranged on both sides of the warship, they can only exert their greatest power when facing the enemy from the flank, and when the bow of the ship is aimed at the enemy ship, the guns of our own ships can hardly shoot at the opponent, so the fleet should try its best to form a column during combat, that is, the so-called "battle line," and strive to aim its own side at the bow of the enemy's ship, so that the two fleets in battle will form a "T" formation, and the fleet that has seized the "T" horizontal end will obviously be in a more advantageous position -- this is the so-called "T-shape". The principles of naval warfare that have been used many times since the era of sail warships.

On the bridge of the "Sea Palace", Maximian witnessed the White Oull Harbor fleet trying to seize the T-shaped head, put down the razor and sneered silently, and waited for the White Ou Harbor fleet to set up a formation and open the battle line to prepare for artillery bombardment, and ordered the whole fleet to line up in a column, led by the flagship "Sea Palace", and directly rushed to the opponent's flagship "Yangbo"!

Maximian's order was immediately responded, and the entire fleet rushed through the sea as if injected with stimulants, like a giant python swimming in a meandering charge against enemy fire.

On the bridge of the "Yangbo", the admirals of the various states who were invited (tied) to visit the naval battle became uproar when they saw this situation, and they exchanged words about whether Maximian had taken the wrong medicine, how could he make such an impulsive decision?

The whole fleet lined up in a long snake formation to charge against the battle line that the opponent had already placed? What is this not sending to death? By the time you rush to the Yanbo, you'll be able to complete at least ten salvos!

After just a few rounds of shelling, Maximian and his fleet of years of powering the North Gulf would sink to the bottom of the sea and become a pile of garbage.

As the supreme commander of the Monster Island fleet, how could he be so stupid?

"It is said that Maximian is as cunning as a fox, in my opinion, it is just so, it is actually difficult to live under the fame, and to discharge this reckless formation, he probably wants to hit our ship with an angle of attack to fight a broadside battle, but the era of broadside combat is long over, and the cannon is the protagonist of today's naval warfare!" Victoria sneered and waved her hand, "The whole ship opened fire and shelled the 'Sea Palace'!" ”

As long as Maximian's flagship is sunk, this pirate fleet that has been rampaging the North Bay for many years will also usher in the end!

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

A delicate ivory dice tumbled in a silver tray, and when it came to rest, it was a pitch-black 1 point upwards.

Lyubov quickly put away the dice, and his face became more and more heavy. The results of the "divination" verified her hunch,

Maximian is not a rookie in naval warfare, and when there is not much difference in the tonnage and number of artillery between the two fleets, he will not know that rushing against the T-shaped head is tantamount to suicide, why would he make such a decision that goes against common sense?

The more Lyubov thought about it, the more uneasy she became, looking at her sister's back, trying to remind her but not knowing what to say. Whether it's prophecy or divination, it's just a sensual intuition, and there is no clear and definite reason for it, so if her sister asks her what she is worried about, how should she answer?

I can't tell what I'm worried about, but it just indicates that the coming crisis will be very sudden!
