Luzon, Subic base. 【 I want: super fast update 】

In the evening breeze, six falcons swept over the bay like homecoming eagles in the setting sun, "as if draped in a golden gauze", and flew towards the airport in the base.

Standing on the transport ship, Tan Xiaozeng grinned at the corners of his mouth, looking at the waves of returning warhawks, "I found that I was really a little old, with the navy having aircraft" With supply ships and fast battleships, the style of war has changed too much, and many people are starting to get lost when they stand at this crossroads" or even at a loss.

Walking to the gangway, Xie Baozhang was already waiting for him on the dock, looking at him who was in good spirits but frowning, Tan Xiaozeng beckoned and hurried towards him.

"Chief of Staff."

"Hehe, the old man is now the commander" logistics commander. Tan Xiaozeng pointed to his epaulette and said with a smile: "You want to find the chief of staff" You have to send a telegram to Cheng Biguang. Xie Baozhang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, it was really wrong" After Tan Xiaozeng stepped back to the second line and was reappointed as the commander of naval logistics, Cheng Biguang, deputy chief of staff of the First Fleet, suddenly rose to prominence last year, which made the candidate for the chief of the general staff of the Navy finally decided, but who let these people be called smooth, and suddenly said: "Who made you our old chief of staff, call it Shun." ”

"Don't pat yourself on the back, the old man is now the master of wiping your ass." Tan Xiaozeng laughed, got into the jeep with Xie Baozhang, and asked, "Where is Liu Buchan?" ”

"Xiang is inside the war room."

"Oh?" Tan Xiaozeng glanced at Xie Baozhang and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?" ”

"First" Xie Baozhang nodded honestly, to be honest, he and Liu Buyun have never figured out the strange deployment of the General Staff during this time, if it weren't for the orders that have been encrypted, maybe everyone would have to wonder if the Chief of the General Staff was removed.

"Let's go, let's go to the war room." Tan Xiaozeng patted the shoulder of the police officer who was driving, and the jeep immediately drove towards the deep fleet headquarters building.

The Second Fleet War Room is a large oval office, and since it is the weekend, most of the officers are on vacation, and even the few officers who remain on duty are walking lightly for fear of disturbing the commander who sat the day before the chart.

Liu Buyun turned the back chair around, rested his chin on the backrest, and looked at the three-dimensional sea map with his arms crossed, always feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

According to intelligence, the two Guam-class ships that the Third Fleet had just commissioned attracted at least fifteen U.S. capital warships in the Gulf of Mexico, providing good cover for the transport fleet departing from Honolulu "but after completing the mission, it did not return to the voyage, but continued to visit Colombia and went all the way south to Chile!"

This is very strange, if the two Guam-class ships go to Chile to visit and recuperate, at least they can return before the Lang and the "If Britain and the United States launch a surprise attack during this time of interval, the powerful warships will not be able to participate in the war, and there is a possibility that they will be intercepted on the way back!"

Isn't that careless?

The important thing is that pushing the two Guam-class ships off the coast of Mexico for the United States to observe not only deviates from the principle of hiding the capital ships as much as possible before the war began a few years ago, "but also probably forces the United States to act ruthlessly!"

This is the path that every naval commander will choose, when the enemy has a type of battleship but has not yet formed a numerical superiority, and the combat effectiveness has just been formed, and he lacks sufficient means of confrontation, it is undoubtedly the best means to attack first!

Could it be that the emperor and the chief of the general staff want the United States to act first? and then mobilize the whole country to fight back" to create an invasion of public opinion, and create an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred for the whole country?

But is it worth it?

But if that's not the case, then how to explain this bizarre deployment?

Liu Buyun took a deep breath, and the worry in his eyes gradually deepened, it is acceptable for Britain and the United States to make the first move, but if the losses are too large and there are too many dead and wounded, then it will cause trouble to the future combat deployment, so this is not a very good way. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

The emperor has always advocated an active attack by the navy, so why did he change course this time?

Or is there something else in it" that I didn't see clearly? So what is it exactly? Liu Buyun subconsciously touched his pocket, and after searching his fingers for a long time, he found that the cigarette box had long been empty, and just about to call someone to get the box of cigarettes, a cigarette had already arrived in front of him.

"Chief of Staff!" After Liu Buyun turned his head, he found that Tan Xiaozeng and Xie Baozhang had quietly stood behind him at some point, and just as he was about to get up and salute, Tan Xiaozeng pressed his eyebrows and smiled: "Sit down." ”

After the three of them sat down in front of the chart, Tan Xiaozeng glanced at the chart and turned his head and said, "Xiang" I heard Baozhang say that you don't understand? ”

To the old chief of staff, Liu Buyun said his worries again, pointing to the chart and saying: "I think the two Guam ships should be brought back immediately, or at least they should maneuver in advance, and they should not go to South America again, otherwise it will be very troublesome on the way back!" ”

Tan Xiaozeng nodded, and could see that this Beiyang front pipe belt had indeed worked hard, but he had a big shortcoming, and it was this shortcoming that Chen Ping and Long Guozhang would entrust to explain, so they raised their eyebrows and diverted the topic: "Xiang, there is something you may not know, the emperor and the chief of staff once considered letting you lead the Third Fleet, do you know why?" ”

"I'm going to the Third Fleet?" Liu Buyun shook his head, he really didn't know about it, although the Third Fleet took over the defense from the Kamchatka Peninsula to the South China Sea, and also took over the three major bases of Ryukyu, Taiwan and Hainan Island, and the first two Guam-class ships were returned to them, but after all, it was defense-oriented, was it not enough at that time?

Seeing that Liu Buyun was confused, Tan Xiaozeng didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "Xiang, do you know that compared with Ji Weishan and Dong Fei, what are the big shortcomings?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Buyun and Xie Baozhang to answer, Tan Xiaozeng suddenly got up and grabbed the putt, went to the west coast of the United States, and aggravated his tone: "If you are not enough, go to the offensive consciousness!" ”

"Shou, I believe you" The chief of staff believes in you, and the emperor also believes in you! But when it comes to the openness of the attack, "You're not as good as the first two!" ”

Liu Buyun and Xie Baozhang heard Tan Xiaozeng's comments on the two of them for the first time, and their faces couldn't help but stiffen, but this is not a lie, "Although both of them have intermittently returned to the naval academy for further study, the old Beiyang imprint back then was too deep" Whether it is arranging tactics or thinking, they are all based on a sound defense first, and they are trying to find a way to counterattack.

It's just that they themselves have never felt that there is a mistake, and at this time, they were suddenly broken by the old chief of staff, and suddenly felt that compared with the ever-changing navy, they were indeed too cautious!

"The emperor said that the navy must remain offensive no matter when and where, but this kind of offensive is not brute, I believe you have also seen the battle report of the Dardanelles before, no matter how strong Britain and France are, a forced attack will not get any purpose except for their own losses!" ”

"On the other hand, no matter how strong we are, the range of naval guns is limited after all, even if we learn from Britain to blockade the North Sea and block Germany in a military port, we can't defeat them!"

"And you misunderstood the emperor, for so long, have you ever seen him suffer? Have you ever seen him sacrifice his life? If he was like that, he would have sunk three Invincible-class battle cruisers last time, and it would be a big deal to pay four neighboring ships and thousands of foreigners, but did he do that? Tan Xiaozeng said this, his tone was suddenly a little stern, which made the two people who listened to it secretly frightened, because they had thought so before, and now looking back, it seems that they really misunderstood the emperor.

"To attack, you need to make the enemy weak" to promote your own strengths. ”

"When attacking, you can't just focus on the gains and losses of one city and one place!"

"Offense" needs to have a bigger vision than defense! ”

Seeing the faces of the two, Tan Xiaozeng knew that they had listened, and his face eased, and he said slowly: "Our advantage is not to attack fortifications, not to maneuver in numbers!" ”

"Whether it is dung detection, communication, endurance, maneuver or speed, we are far superior to our opponents, we know this, and Britain and the United States also know this!"

"Look."

Tan Xiaozeng drew two circles in Australia and San Diego in the United States: "Most of the British and American warships have a endurance of about 10,000 nautical miles, and they have coal and oil" There is a lack of supply ships similar to ours, and it is difficult to replenish when maneuvering at sea, which means that the radius of their first wave of offensive operations is within 5,000 nautical miles" plus the need to maneuver before the attack, and we also have to consider encountering our blockade, so even if you bring a transport ship, it can only be compressed to 4,000 nautical miles" Otherwise, you may face the embarrassment of not being able to go home!

"But the problem is that the range of their naval guns is also limited, even if they block the waterway mouth, they can't hit the harbor, not to mention that we have as many as 100 large-caliber shore guns there, plus the First Fleet, unless it is stupid, or more than five times the strength, otherwise it is no different from looking for death."

The United States and Britain are very clear, so Britain deliberately seduced the United States into Australia, because there are many islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, and if they can occupy some bases, they can go all the way north to threaten us.

On the other hand, if we make the first move, "even if we can achieve some results, the main forces of the British and American fleets will shrink, and we also do not have five times the strength to consume, so the emperor and the chief of staff deliberately put a trap, deliberately let the Guam and Medan go around the American side, and then go all the way south to visit along the way, just to create an illusion and force them to do it!" ”

Speaking of this, Tan Xiaozeng put the putt down and asked with a smile: "If you plan the attack, then where will you choose?" ”

"Nauru!"

As soon as Liu Buyun's finger pointed at Nauru, which is located between Melanesia and Great Xia, Xie Baozhang's eyes also lit up: "Take Nauru" will have an advance base for attacking Great Xia, and with the Marshall Islands to encircle from the flanks, you can cut off the connection between Great Xia and Honolulu, and even threaten Guam Province! ”

"Yes."

Therefore, Ji Weishan and Dong Fei have joined forces to strengthen the patrol from Honolulu to Japan, and even the capital ships have been pulled up openly, "Their vision is far wider than yours!" ”

Tan Xiaozeng slammed his fist on the chart table, and his old eyes flashed fiercely: "Because they know that the American fleet has three invincible-class ships and two tireless classes!" ”

"If you come out, don't go back!"

"As long as it is fought, within a year we can go sideways in the Pacific Ocean, so that we can have enough troops to solve the problem of Malacca and the Indian Ocean" to open the passage to the Strait of Hormuz! ”

"I see!"

These sonorous and powerful words made both of them seem to have a rush of blood straight into their minds, and all the links have been figured out at once, the emperor and the chief of staff have deliberately set up a trick, sending away two Guam-class ships, forcing Britain and the United States to go to war first, and they must also begin to quietly evacuate the immigrants on Nauru Island, and the defense fleet is estimated to have been ordered to be ready to evacuate at any time, and will also do some camouflage on the island, as long as they come out, then they will find that they are just wasting some shells, and they will face an ambush!

But here there is the latter question: "What to do with two Guam-class battleships?" If you can't hide the eyes of the United States from visiting all the way south, do you really want to let the powerful battleship stand by?

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, Li Xiuyan, that rabbit cub, will go to a place that none of you can imagine!" Tan Xiaozeng touched his chin and nodded, "Glanced at the two of them: "Do you know what you should do?" ”

"Deploy all the main forces of the fleet to the Pontianak line, and make every effort to prevent a sudden attack by the British Far East Fleet!" Liu Buyun slammed it abruptly, but after a while, he laughed first, glanced at Xie Baozhang and suddenly said: "Since the emperor said that my specialty is defense", then let's defend well.

"Yes, the British Far East Fleet and the Indian Fleet are very powerful." Xie Baozhang also deliberately touched his chin, but no matter how he looked at it, he held back a smile, and said deliberately: "Commander, I heard that the two Beijing-class ships have some failures, and Guam can't be repaired" or let them go to Shanghai, where the equipment is good. ”

"Well, let's go right away."

Listening to the two brains of the Second Fleet suddenly pretending to be in front of him, Tan Xiaozeng raised the putt violently to fight, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, let the old man talk so much about logistics" Don't go get some snacks! ”

"Haha......——。"

The sudden laughter of the three attracted the attention of the officer on duty, who could not understand what was wrong, but the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their view.

"It was reported that there was a riot in North Vietnam, and the command ordered us to immediately send warships to protect the diaspora and prevent the crisis from expanding."

"Riot?"

"Hehe, that's timely."

Liu Buyun and Xie Baozhang glanced at each other, "They both saw the smile in the corner of each other's eyes, just now Tan Xiaozeng's words have opened their minds, how can they not take advantage of such a good opportunity."

Liu Buyun immediately said solemnly to the staff officer: "Order the Harbin and Dandong to set off immediately, and the two Jilin-class and Hebei-class ships are also ready, if someone kills our nationals" can decide for themselves whether to launch an artillery bombardment!" ”

"By the way, the two Beijing-class battleships are going back to Shanghai for maintenance in the near future, so send someone to arrange it."

"Commander, is there a mistake? Shanghai and Hong Kong ^2 months ago. "The staff officer didn't finish speaking" suddenly thought of something, immediately stopped his mouth and nodded.

"Hehe, it's quite clever." Tan Xiaozeng smiled and stretched: "Okay, the old man should go back and fight with the old dragon, some of you are busy." ”

"yes, some of them are busy!"

The two turned their heads and focused on the Linga and Natuna Islands, which hold the exit from the Strait of Malacca.
