Chapter 219 Friends and Enemies

Just as Chuang Wang climbed onto the Eternity, the fleet below was completely prepared. All warships entered the invisible state and were scattered in a large area around to form a huge encirclement. According to the current situation It is judged that the fleet of the Paladin Alliance will eventually drive directly into our encirclement, and what we have to do is to wait until the fleet of the Paladin Alliance reaches our encirclement and then tilt the firepower at them from the surroundings and the sky. I dare not say more, but it is absolutely no problem to sink one-fifth of the warships in the first round of bombardment. Of course, the more important thing is to sink the flagship where the gun god is located.

"What's going on over there? Have you found the target?" I stood on the bridge of the Eternal and shouted with seven or eight communicators.

"No. 1 found no target."

"Number 2 did not find the target."

"Target found on the 3rd, bearing 000, distance 103 kilometers."

"Very well, keep your distance and continue to monitor."

"Three understands."

After cutting off the communication, I asked King Chuang again: "How many fleets did you see before?"

"About 28,000 to 30,000. There are too many to see clearly."

"What about the tonnage?"

"It should not be as big as our total tonnage." King Chuang said uncertainly: "They have many ships, but they are not as big as ours, so their total tonnage should not be as big as ours. But it is not necessarily as big as ours. After all, they are close to 30,000 warships. , more than twice as many as us!”

"No matter how many ships there are, knock out a few thousand first. Only when the number is close can we start. Oh, by the way. God of War, the flying units can be released. All of them can climb into the clouds and wait for my order to start attacking."

"Boss, the newly arrived Storm Ruler formation can carry anti-ship missiles. Do you need to bring them?"

"Hang one on each of three of them. If you're angry with him, bring conventional ammunition first."

"clear."

"Zi Ri." As soon as I cut off the message from the Fleet Logistics Department, I heard Shura Ziyi's voice. "The diving fleet asked them what they needed to do."

"Stay under the water first, don't use them for the time being."

"clear."

After roughly explaining the situation of each unit, all we can do is wait. The speed of releasing the fighter jets was very fast. In less than twenty minutes, all the aircraft had entered the clouds and completed the concealment work. As for the fleet of the Holy Spear Alliance, it is still 88 kilometers away from us, which is still relatively far away.

After waiting for a while, the leading ship in front finally started to report data. "The Holy Spear Alliance battleship formation is approaching the first-level ambush circle. The distance is 80 kilometers. Each ship is preparing for the third level."

"At this rate, wouldn't it take more than an hour for them all to enter the ambush circle?" King Chuang asked.

I shrugged and said, "Otherwise, what else do you want? We are in a stationary state now, and we cannot rush towards them. The fleets of the Holy Spear Alliance are all taking the Son route, so it would be good to have this kind of speed."

"Am I just in a hurry?"

"So it was a wise move when I suggested you not to go on a submarine. If you were to be a submarine commander, you would be doomed if no ship could hit you."

"Squatting in pits and guarding rabbits is really not my specialty. I am a sports person." When King Chuang said this, he suddenly pressed the earphones next to his ears with one hand. After waiting for a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at me with a serious expression and said: "The pilot ship I just sent out to patrol the surrounding waters just in case reported that a huge fleet was discovered in our northwest direction. is heading in our direction, based on the current course and speed. It will meet up with the American fleet in the center of our encirclement in about an hour."

"Large fleet?"

"Well, the leading ship said that they saw several thousand ships, and the ones behind them couldn't see how many more there were. It is conservatively estimated to be in the tens of thousands, otherwise the formation would not be so wide."

Large fleets usually have an oval formation structure when sailing on the sea for non-combat navigation, so as long as you know the width of the fleet, you can roughly know the number of ships. The wide front of the opponent means that there are many fleets behind it. After all, few fleets will sail in a horizontal formation.

"What should we do now?" King Chuang asked: "That fleet ran directly into our encirclement without turning, and there was no exit in that direction!"

"Isn't it too late to move the warship at this distance?" I said looking at the chart.

King Chuang checked the distance and then compared it on the chart with a chart ruler and said: "It's too late, the track may be discovered."

"Then let the lead ship go and scout out who the other party is."

"Actually, I can roughly know where a fleet of this size is from without conducting any investigation." King Chuang said.

I nodded and said: "Of course I also know that it is probably the Russian fleet, but I still need to confirm it."

"What do you think the Russians are doing here at this time?" King Chuang asked.

I just thought about it for a second and came up with the answer. I punched the chart table in front of me and said angrily: "Sure enough, none of them are fuel-efficient! God of War, ordered the entire fleet to shrink its formation and move toward the southwest."

"Are you sure?" The God of War is not just a computer. He is a tactical command computer. Of course, he has a say in battle formations and other matters.

I said with great certainty: "The Russian fleet in the northwest and the Paladin fleet in front of us should have been in contact. If we don't leave, we will be dumped!"

"The intelligence has been updated, and the tactical assessment has begun. ...The assessment has ended. I agree with you, President, that the fleet should evacuate immediately, otherwise heavy losses will be caused."

"How big will the loss be? Will we be defeated miserably?" King Chuang asked.

The God of War quickly replied: "At least two-thirds of the surface ships will be lost. Considering that the enemy has no effective anti-aircraft means, the losses of our air fleet will be minimal. We can still win tactical victory, but strategic failure is inevitable, even if There is no point in winning.”

"How could this happen?" King Chuang is good at commanding naval battles, but it's a pity that he still doesn't understand national-level games.

I explained patiently: "We have occupied such a large area of ​​land in Russia this time. Of course, Russia will not do it. However, Xin's unexpected appearance caused the Siberian Protoss to unexpectedly withdraw. Now the Russians have no ability to fight back against us. Holy Spear The Alliance was ostracized by us before, and then took the risk to invade our research base and completely broke up with our Frost Rose Alliance. In order to survive, the Paladin Alliance can only fight to the death with us. This is all a matter of course, and you can know it through inference. Russia The other side must have guessed this result, so they took the initiative to contact the Holy Spear League and wanted to deal with us with them. Relying on unexpected actions can consume our fleet to achieve a balance in naval warfare, so that the Holy Spear League may have a chance to defeat us. To launch an attack on our homeland, we will inevitably need to return our troops to rescue the homeland, and the Russians can take the opportunity to clean up our occupied areas in their territory. Therefore, this is a cooperation of interests between Russian players and the Paladin League, and we are Falling into a passive situation.”

"Then can we just run away like this now?"

"Of course not." I explained: "Our strategic retreat means that our fleet has not suffered losses, and they will not dare to advance arrogantly on the sea. In this way, we can delay the seven-day occupation and ensure that Russia's The land is basically stable. Even if our main force is not there, with the help of heaven, it will not be easy for the Russians to get the land back. In addition, our fleet is still strong, and the fleets of the Holy Spear Alliance and Russia are not as fast as us. We can use large-caliber naval guns to carry out out-of-sight strikes, which on the one hand weakens the opponent's strength and on the other hand reduces the opponent's psychological advantage. If we can cause the opponent to lose control of his emotions and make some irrational behavior, we can take advantage of it. If not, at least it can be done. Put pressure on the opponent and slow down the opponent's progress. As long as the opponent's fleet slows down, we can rely on the advantages of fleet speed and range to continuously encroach on their fleet. After all, the Paladin and the Russians are not a family, and it is difficult to guarantee this during this period. We share weal and woe, and as long as some of them can't stand it anymore, our chance will come."

"But what if none of this happens?"

"Then you have to be prepared to confront them head-on."

"Isn't it?"

"Do you have any other ideas?"

At this time, the God of War suddenly said: "As long as we trade space for time and use this time to continuously consume the opponent's vitality, in the end the opponent's fleet will definitely undergo irreversible emotional changes. Even if the opponent has no problems, when a decisive battle is necessary We can also engage in a head-on war with the opponent after the distance. At that time, our strength will absolutely overwhelm the opponent, but the losses will be slightly greater. In addition, when necessary, we can even let the Japanese fleet attack Russia and the Americans from behind. The fleet will attack hard, so that we can reduce our losses."

"Japanese fleet?" King Chuang now felt that his brain was a little exhausted.

I know that this guy Chuang Wang will definitely not understand. This guy has been resisting Japan before, and now he is suddenly asked to cooperate with the Japanese fleet to fight against the US-Russia coalition. This is indeed a big turn.

"Remember, there are no permanent friends or enemies in this world, there are only permanent interests. The purpose of the Russians in helping the Americans is to force us to engage in ground war with the Americans, thus forcing us to evacuate from the Russian mainland After that, they can counterattack our occupied area and take back their territory, but we are not the only ones in this territory now. The Japanese guild under Masamoto Matsumoto also occupies a large area of ​​land. If the Russians’ plan Success, can their land be preserved independently? Obviously impossible, so for their own benefit, they must ensure that the Americans cannot defeat our maritime power, so even if we do not ask them, we just need to tell them what is happening here , they will come out and the fleet will come to help."

"The world of you guys is so complicated. I don't think I can understand it! I'd better just be the commander of my fleet!"
