"In fact, in such a situation where the scale is not particularly large, especially when the opponent's fast fleet is not as good as ours, our fast fleet can still be used in this way, we don't have to be locked by the speed of the battleship, and in some cases we can give the fast fleet a certain freedom of movement." Lin Yongsheng said slowly, "Let's look at the sand table, this is the deduction I made." ”

"After the arrival of the main fleets of both sides, the fast fleet does not necessarily have to merge into the main fleet to participate in the decisive battle of the fleet, at this time, our five fast battleships can break forward, and then pull away from the main fleet at a certain distance, our fast battleship speed is 25 knots, while the speed of the opponent's main fleet is only 20 knots, so we will have a great advantage and have the opportunity to form an oblique cut to occupy the T-shaped crosshead."

"If that's the case, the other party can choose to turn, after all, people are the inner circle, we are the outer circle, and it is almost impossible to grab T." Tycho said.

"Naturally impossible, the other side will not sit still, but you see, if the opposing fleet turns...... Then this entire battle line will be bent, and our main fleet will gain a great advantage! Lin Yongsheng paused and continued: "Here the other party has another choice, that is, to divide part of the fleet to contain the fast fleet, and the remaining warships and our main force to fight the battle line." And in the face of this situation, I also have a way to solve it! ”。 …。

"What should I do? The two sides are almost divided into two battlefields for a battle line duel, and there are no tricks to use. Count Spee asked.

"The fast fleet turns around at a blunt angle, and then quickly cuts between the two detachments of the opposing side!" Lin Yongsheng gestured with his hand and said!

"It's too dangerous, it's tantamount to having the fast fleet take on attacks from both directions at the same time!" A staff officer next to him exclaimed, this kind of cut-in tactic was also used by Nelson before, and also used by the Austrians in the Battle of Lisa, generally unless the other side is too weak, (compared to the British, the French are too weak.) Relative to the Austrians. Italy's level is really not good! Otherwise, it's too risky!

"It's not really risky. The number of warships on both sides was almost equal. The main warships of both sides of the enemy and us are catching and fighting, and even if our side suddenly cuts diagonally, the capital ships of the other side will not be able to free up their hands to attack us at the first time, on the contrary. The opponent's fast fleet must consider countermeasures, and because of the angle problem, some of the main guns cannot be used, after all, we cut from the side and rear, and the main gun group of the general battleship is concentrated in the front, and shooting backwards will definitely be limited by the firing range. ”

"If we are in the upwind direction, the cover caused by the fire of the naval guns will drift downward, and we can flank the opponent's main force with the main force, and at the same time use smoke grenades to cover the other side can also reduce the intensity of the opponent's fire, so that. We will have a great advantage in a short period of time. As for what kind of results will be achieved, it can only depend on the actual situation. Lin Yongsheng put the plan out ..........

"That in this case. What will the opposing avant-garde fleet do? Lieutenant General Spee asked, looking at the sand table. As the commander of the avant-garde fleet, he will lead the team to forcibly cut through the opposing fleet, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be the one who will be the tragedy! It's a matter of life and death. Absolutely no carelessness.

"I don't really know about this, but I'm sure that if the other party's level is not too high, this can at least cause chaos for the other party for ten minutes, Betty and Thomas will definitely have their own ideas, but it is not clear how to do it, and there are too many ways for both sides to choose. Betty has the option to pivot to reinforcements. You can also choose to go opposite to our fleet, and as for Thomas, you may also take the main fleet to avoid it temporarily, or you may have to wait for Betty to rescue. Lin Yongsheng spread his hands and said. On the battlefield, it still depends on the ability to improvise, after all, you can't guess all the opponent's moves. However, the problem is not very big now, if the situation between the two sides becomes what Lin Yongsheng expected, as long as he grasps the one that drags the Betty fleet and cooperates with the main fleet to suppress the enemy's main fleet. Let's take care of the rest. …。

Besides. The Allies are also preparing to dispatch a fleet of aircraft and submarines to carry out reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance missions. Thomas and Hipper's experience of the war told the world that the plane, though it was only a short time to appear, was still quite immature, but anyone who ignored it would eventually pay a heavy price. Moreover, the weather conditions in the Mediterranean Sea are much better, and the conditions for aircraft sorties and reconnaissance are naturally stronger than in the North Sea. Therefore, it is necessary to curb the reconnaissance methods of the other side. In addition to guarding against warships at sea, you also have to keep an eye on the planes in the air! …。

However, what people didn't expect was that there were only 3 aircraft carriers of the British Empire, two were reserved for the fleet, and the other was in the dock, and Thomas didn't bring an aircraft carrier at all when he came, plus the air force at that time was too short and the combat radius was too small, so the final result was that one of the Allied countries' own aircraft carriers could provide sufficient reconnaissance capabilities, while the Entente could not do anything!

The Allies were trying to figure out how to deal with the Entente...... Thomas and Betty weren't idle. I am also racking my brains to think about how to deal with the future war. But this time, Thomas became the main general, and Betty became the foil, which made Betty, who has always been arrogant and wanted to stabilize the commander of the Grand Fleet, embarrassed! But there is no way, who let himself fight a pit once, and the only big victory is to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds. Thomas, on the other hand, succeeded in calculating his old enemy Hipper, and he was also angry with himself.

There is a big difference between the ideas of Easterners and Westerners, especially in terms of strategy and tactics. This time, for example, Lin Yongsheng emphasized the need to gain global superiority through maneuvering and deception at the fleet level. Thomas's idea, on the other hand, was to gain an advantage by arranging the order of the fleet's engagements. The British fleet as a whole was superior. In particular, it has a huge advantage in the amount of firepower, don't look at the British super dreadnought defense, but they have 10 main guns. On the side of the Allies, the 3 Earl Cavour-class dreadnoughts are undoubtedly the biggest shortcoming. If nothing else. These three warships can hardly play any output ..........

China has a field to avoid horse racing, whether the British have a similar statement Lin Yongsheng does not know, but the British must understand this truth. The weakness of the British fleet was the defense of the six gun-carrying ships, which struggled to face the opponent's guns. If you get close, you probably won't be able to penetrate it. So Thomas wanted these 6 battleships to confront the three Earl Cavour dreadnoughts and 3 Austro-Hungarian super dreadnoughts of the Allies, after all, these 6 battleships were the weakest of the opponent's formation. At the same time, taking into account the great power of the battleship Caesar the Great of the Italians, two R-class ships were prepared for it. It seems impossible to sink the opponent, so you can only delay, not for merit but for no fault! Thomas's idea was to defeat the opponent's weak ships in a short period of time, and then he could form a local advantage. And then it is turning into a victory.

Is this possible? The answer is more doable. First of all, the 3 Earl Cavour-class battleships were the only 5-turret battleships in the Allied fleet, and they were the smallest at 170 meters. In addition, the layout of the bridge and chimney is relatively special, so the appearance is more conspicuous. The appearance of the Italian super-dreadnought and the Austro-Hungarian copycat Caesar is relatively close, and you can only look at it roughly. If you really can't tell the difference, forget it. Anyway, the focus is on those three dreadnoughts. The rest of the dreadnoughts are not easy to sink ..........

As for the Julius Caesar? This distinction is relatively simple, after all, it is the largest warship in the Allied fleet. Thomas thought of the possible location of the battleship, the first being as the general flagship of the Allied fleet. The two R-class battleships found the largest ship in it. In terms of length, Julius Caesar was the largest, and the fast battleships of the German-Turkish fleet were relatively small. Then there's Italy's Caraccino-class super-dreadnought. If in the main fleet, then Caraccino is 4 turrets, and Caesar the Great is 3 turrets are easier to distinguish. It's not a big problem to keep an eye on. …。

Another possibility is to be incorporated into the fast fleet, if this is the case, Betty will also be beaten, hurry up and talk about it. Although the specific performance of the Julius Caesar is not known. But judging from the performance of the Ryumu in Saipan, Betty's fast battleship is also a rhythm of decisively kneeling, so don't send it in this case! Thomas's order to Betty was simple, that is, if the opponent was only the German-Turkish fleet, Betty could command it herself, and if there was a figure of Julius Caesar. Then retreat decisively.

According to the experience of the exercise, it only takes about 10 minutes for the British Empire's Grand Fleet, including the Fast Fleet, to deploy...... The opponent's speed is slightly higher than his own, so even if the opponent starts in advance, the tactical advantage will not exceed 10 minutes, but for ten minutes, the price paid by the opponent is huge, and their formation will not be able to change. As long as the situation wasn't particularly bad, Thomas believed he could figure out the 3 5-turret dreadnoughts out of a dozen or so battleships. After all, there are three, and it is said that the warships of the same class should all be grouped together, and if you find one, you can find the remaining two. Then the task of the British was to sink the opponent as quickly as possible. Thomas's idea is realistic and simple. It is to use the advantages of the Entente to fight the weakness of the other side. In the face of other warships, then you can only rely on a long battle and a local 2-on-1 advantage to win or lose. Thomas did not think about destroying the entire Allied Mediterranean fleet in World War I, which was unrealistic. The first step is to ensure the safety of transportation in the western Pacific, and the defeat of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet is a long-term task.........

Why doesn't Lin Yongsheng think so. On the one hand, it is a problem of thinking, on the other hand, it is impossible to simply just frontalize, the Allied fleet is a disadvantage in addition to having one more fast battleship, and if it is simply a frontal battleship, the result is that the advantage of the fast fleet can not be played, although the gap between the two sides is not large, but that is overall, if it is a partial, then the gap on the battlefield is large enough to determine the victory or defeat, so the simple hard fight will definitely go down.
