When Cheng Biguang came in, he saw that Xiao Jianfeng was still in a dilemma, and he knew that this matter was very difficult to decide, which was tantamount to taking the life of the Northwest Navy, but creating the glory of Scheer's fleet, no wonder Scheer was just asking, not asking.

But if you think about it carefully, it is a rare opportunity, the British and French fleets, no matter how much more powerful than the Dutch fleet, as long as they can survive such a naval battle, it is much more powerful than more than a year of training. Every soldier of the Northwest Navy is a necessary seed of the navy, and the future will take root and sprout and become more naval seeds, this decision, no one can help Xiao Jianfeng to come down.

Finally, Xiao Jianfeng, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head, with a certain firmness in his eyes, Cheng Biguang knew very well that he had made a decision, and he was inclined to cooperate with Germany.

To be able to get to this point, everyone is firm-minded, once a decision is made, it cannot be changed, there is no such thing as Ci Bu in charge of the army, and in the case of fear, you will miss the opportunity.

Cheng Biguang can't help make a decision, but he can make Xiao Jianfeng, who has already decided, go more steadily, he analyzed with Cheng Biguang from the perspective of the navy, how to choose the battlefield, Scheer's fleet must arrive in a short time, in this way, it can't be the sea area where the decisive battle with the Dutch was fought a few days ago, where there is a clear view, and nothing can be hidden, unless it is a submarine.

Then choose a place east of Borneo in an area densely populated by islands. This place cannot be placed in the open spot, and it must be achieved through movement or pursuit. This is really not much on the charts of Southeast Asia.

The northwest layout of Southeast Asia has been a long time. Especially after Xiao Jianfeng arrived in Southeast Asia, he took advantage of the convenience of pirates. Searching many islands from Southeast Asia, combining the pirates with their own measurements, the current military battle map has become the current military battle map, which not only marks the location of a large number of islands, but also marks some small islands that will be revealed when the tide rises and falls.

Cheng Biguang's professional vision, coupled with the staff officers' investigation and filling in the gaps, finally chose three places on the huge Southeast Asian chart. All three are not far from Borneo.

If you want to attract the British and French warships, a battleship like the Black Dragon must come forward to attack Jakarta, the strength of the Black Dragon is not enough, it is a military port operated by the Dutch for many years, even if the main fleet is lost, Jakarta, which can exceed 40 coastal defense cannons, is not easy to capture. At least the northwest would have taken a lot of effort to conquer, but Pontianak, a place that the Dutch had been operating for a relatively short time. There is nothing about coastal defense.

The British and French sent their troops to Pontianak as quickly as possible, and stationed them in Pontianak with the Dutch. It's just that Pontianak's port capacity is limited, and it can only berth warships of 4,000 tons at most. At present, most of the British and French ships are anchored in Singapore, and less than 10 ships are in Pontianak.

This is probably the biggest opportunity for the Northwest. With the help of three ironclad ships whose protection ability is much stronger than that of warships below 4,000 tons, it will take time for the British and French warships to arrive from Singapore, and when the time comes, they will leave after killing these battleships in Pontianak and lure the British and French to come and pursue, so that it is easy to introduce them to the preset battlefield.

This is a big gamble, win it all, lose it will be doomed, although the three ships that have been modified in the northwest can have a few moves with the dreadnoughts, but it is just a few moves, once it is surrounded by more than 10 former dreadnoughts, the speed can not get up, the battleship is not King Kong is not bad, a long-term attack, there will inevitably be problems, and there is even a danger of sinking.

As perfect as possible, everything was refined, taking into account the ocean currents, weather, and even various factors, and finally formed a relatively mature plan, with a probability of success reaching almost 75%.

There is no trivial matter in the navy, it is related to the life and death of 3 warships and at least 4,000 outstanding soldiers, Xiao Jianfeng did not dare to decide on his own, after discussing the action plan, he still reported the plan, the Admiralty and Yang Yuanzhao both received the notice, the Admiralty felt that this was an opportunity, the probability of success was very high, and it took a little risk, but compared with the benefits, it can still be done.

As for Yang Yuanzhao here, he hesitated a little, and then made a clear recovery, waiting for 3 days!

Waiting for three days? This order is a little clueless, it can be said that the current initiative of the battlefield is still in the northwest, Britain and France can not find any trace of the Black Dragon Pirates, this is confident that the Black Dragon Pirates still have it, and their Black Dragon Island is quite secretive.

It's just that the more time passes, the more troops the British and French will mobilize, and if it reaches a certain level, the British and French can launch an attack on Borneo with the support of naval artillery, and they may not be able to capture the base in Borneo, but it will put a lot of pressure on them.

Out of trust in Yang Yuanzhao, Xiao Jianfeng still waited patiently, of course, for 3 days, he was not idle and had nothing to do, he did some maintenance on the ships of the Black Dragon Pirates, and by the way, notified Scheer and told him the entire plan of action.

After receiving the telegram, Scheer was very happy, and he also knew that his request was a bit excessive, and on the premise that there were no large number of capital ships like them, these ships of the Black Dragon Pirates would need to pay a huge price if they wanted to achieve his idea, and they might put several warships in danger.

If the northwest does not agree, he will not force it, when the time comes, the task force will sweep the entire Strait of Malacca, even if the main force of Britain and France cannot be caught, will try to cripple Singapore, and then with the help of the army in the northwest, occupy the key strait of Malacca, and gradually become the lifeblood of Germany in the 3B railway, not only an important channel to contact other Allied countries, but also an important channel for the northwest to export to Germany, Malacca, the strait at the throat, can never be controlled by the British.

Now, the Northwest agreed and sent a detailed battle plan, Scheer looked at it, there are no loopholes, and it is perfect, the only thing I don't understand is, why does it take 3 days later, maybe, there will be something downgraded from the mainland, right?

In fact, it is really the Northwest Strategic Air Base, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the core area of the Northwest, with many secret hangars, is one of the most secret places in the Northwest, the Strategic Air Force, is the B17 class bomber, the take-off weight of this bomber, 3 is almost comparable to the airship, but he flies higher than the airship, the speed is fast, the self-defense ability is also quite strong, the huge size and bomb throwing ability, so that he has the nickname of the air fortress earlier than the B17.

This can take off more than 10 tons of bombs, and has a relatively complete aiming facilities of the aircraft, the Northwest has produced a total of 389 aircraft, and is currently increasing at a rate of 50 per month, the huge Northwest, the need for this aircraft, conservative estimates, the final number may be 2000 to 3000, and only the United States during the 2 wars, their production capacity and war needs, only have so many B17, named B14 new air fortress, the future production may be more.

Strategic bombing, at the very least, is to drop 2,000 tons, or even more explosives, on the opponent's target, so the strategic bomber formation is a batch of 200, and the fundamental reason why Yang Yuanzhao asked Xiao Jianfeng to wait for three days is to wait for these B14s.

Compared with Xiao Jianfeng, Yang Yuanzhao attaches more importance to these sailors, it is okay to take risks, it is okay to exercise, the ships of the Black Dragon that have been modified have enough armor, and in the few battleship duels and artillery battles, it is enough to protect the safety of personnel, but once they are besieged, when they are besieged by ten times or even 20 times the superiority of the enemy, the weakness of speed is undoubtedly obvious.

War exists in case, there is no 100% certainty, what Yang Yuanzhao has to do is to increase this certainty to 100%, although the aircraft is exposed at this time, a little early, it is easy for the powers to give up the airship this road, follow up the aircraft in the northwest, but Yang Yuanzhao has this confidence, the northwest in the field of aircraft, at least 20 years ahead of the world, there is a 20-year generation difference, how can it not win, and even when the piston engines of other countries mature, the jet type of the northwest, Even newer turboprop engines will come out, and a huge gap will allow the Northwest to maintain an advantage in the aircraft field.

It was about noon to take off, and the huge plane quickly rose to the air, and under the cover of clouds and mist, quietly hit the road, and the route was selected, and the strategic bomber would take the most remote road, at dusk, to the South China Sea, and then after nightfall, to Borneo.

In the core defense circle, there are specially built hangars and airfields, which are enough to accommodate two groups of strategic bombers, so a total of 400 planes have taken off together, and such a huge formation, once the horizontal bombing of the sea is carried out, the power brought is enough to turn the tide of the war.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Jianfeng received a notice that there would be two brigades and 400 B14 planes strategically transferred to the Borneo airport, and all of them were within 700 nautical miles of the strategic air force.

Xiao Jianfeng heard 400 strategic bombers, almost shocked, when fighting against the Netherlands, it cost a huge price, so he found 2 seaplanes, which was directly given to Britain and France, and the headquarters directly gave 400 strategic bombers, and the difference in the middle was so big that it was shocking.

It can be said that the northwest used strategic bombers to occupy the last possibility of failure, for Xiao Jianfeng, with a safe backing, next, it depends on his adventure, as long as the British and French capital ships chase up, the victory can no longer be reversed. (To be continued.) )
