Chapter 2493: Strategies of the warring parties
The white skins who fled into the Adriatic Sea (the sea to the east of Italy) merged with the Dutch. The Dutch were very surprised when they learned of their loss. The young Major General Tromp had always been outspoken and blurted out: "You lose. I won three Tier 1 battleships but failed to achieve any results. Don't tell me that you are fighting a naval battle with God!"
As soon as said this sentence, I saw the generals of Baipi looking at each other, their faces extremely ugly!
Because the young Lilva Don Chatenefer once said: "When you meet the Dutch, you will fight. May God bless us!"
The Dutch with high hopes think that God is on the side of the Chinese!
The soldiers licked the blood with their knife heads. The most obvious sign is that Zhu Baipi felt bad this time, even if he joined the Dutchman, he couldn't win.
Seeing everyone's dumb appearance, the young monk Tromp was puzzled by his second son. The British Rear Admiral Richard Dean had always been in harmony with him, and said the Spanish admiral's words. Now, the young Trom Pu also feels hairy in his heart!
The Dutch leader Druitl gave a light cough, then brought everyone’s attention to him and said: "Fight, the shell is round, everything is possible. If we don’t fight, then we will probably lose the Mediterranean forever. If If we fight, we may still keep the Mediterranean Sea. If we fight, even if we lose, at least when we return to the embrace of God, we dare to say that we are a warrior and we deserve to see God!"
This is reasonable, the generals nodded silently.
God is the link between these white skins. Although the young Major General Tromp said that the Chinese are God, everyone should fight for God!
It's just that the Chinese may be God himself. Whether this battle can be won is a big question.
Seeing everyone's depression, the French Rear Admiral De Bruce said: "Only in a deadly battle can you win. I swear to God that I will not humiliate the title of knight!"
Everyone applauded for him and expressed their willingness to fight hard, believing that with God's blessing, we will win!
The place of engagement was not in the Adriatic Sea. The White Fleet went out of the Otranto Strait (the estuary from the Adriatic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea). At the entrance of the strait, the South China Fleet was sent by the South China Fleet. The scout of the cruise ship indicated that the South China Fleet is not far away.
Before the war, Lilva Don Chatenefer Jr. changed his flagship from the first-class battleship "Notre Dame Concepcion" to the "San Felipe" second-class battleship, this small The details show that the Spanish admiral has no confidence in the upcoming war (obviously the "Muslim Concepcion" is more likely to attract enemy fire, which was also proved in the subsequent battles).
At the same time, Lilva Don Chatenefer Jr. suggested changing the position of the commander of the Great Fleet to Admiral George Munch of the United Kingdom. At the same time, the British fleet served as the Chinese army. There are the largest number of first-class battleships and should be the commander in chief.
Want to throw the pot? George Munch will be fooled by him?
Don't even think about it!
George Munch said that it would be bad to change before the battle, so you can force it and continue to be the commander-in-chief.
Under George Munch’s resignation, Lilva Don Chatenefer Jr. could only continue to serve as the commander-in-chief.
The Spanish admiral held a pre-war combat meeting on his new flagship to discuss the combat strategy for the upcoming battle with the Chinese with commanders from various countries.
Compared with the magnificent meeting rooms on the previous first-class battleships, the meeting room of the "San Felipe" is obviously inferior, the decoration is not so luxurious, the place is narrower, and the gap is large. Everyone did not laugh at Spain. People, a feeling of sadness arose in my heart.
Once upon a time, Spain was very wealthy. In one case, there were four first-class battleships. The Spaniards were also bullish. Now they have fallen and the situation is miserable.
If it is dried by other white skins, then everyone will feel better. After all, everyone believes in God, and the meat is rotten in the pot.
What happened to the Spaniards now is what the pagans in the East did, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
The meeting began. At this time, there were a total of 121 battleships in the large fleet. Lilva Don Chatenefer Jr. advocated the Dutch as the forward, the British as the rear army, and the remaining battleships as the Chinese army.
This kind of battle arrangement is quite satisfactory, and everyone thinks it is feasible.
Little Lierva Don Chatenefer’s mood is not high and he has a strong fighting spirit. He pointed to the tactical board and said to the commanders: "I don’t think the Chinese will form a battle line parallel to our combined fleet. They will try to cut off our battle line, then surround our rear fleet, and finally concentrate on attacking our ships that can be isolated and severed. The more the better."
Jiang is an old hot. He speculated on the possible tactics the Chinese might take. It can be said that his prediction is very accurate, almost identical to the actual actions taken by the Chinese.
However, despite successfully predicting the Chinese tactics, the Spanish admiral could not come up with a good countermeasure. The result of the discussion with the commanders was only to adopt the conventional method of filing forward. Regarding the upcoming battle, he added only two points: one is that if the combined fleet has the upper hand and defeats the Chinese, it should pursue them and then engage in a one-on-one battle; the other is that if one's own side is at a disadvantage, each ship should have the upper hand and defeat the Chinese. Lined up in an adjacent battle line waiting for the attack, and each captain should also fight separately.
On the other hand, Yan Changwu also held a meeting of senior officers in the conference room of his luxurious Empire-class battleship. He was full of confidence in his fleet. He wanted to finish the fight soon and go to dinner after the fight. Laughed.
"We usually go to war. We only meet each other before we start to line up. We can wait for two or three hours in line. It's a waste of time!" Yan Changwu said.
He was right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone nodded.
Yan Changwu believes that the delay in the engagement time is inseparable from the transformation of the large fleet from the sailing formation to the battle line. Therefore, he decided to organize the fleet into a sailing formation which is equivalent to the combat method. However, he emphasized that "the commander-in-chief (he) and the deputy commander (Dai Mr. Wei) except for the flagship)”. This one is undoubtedly very critical. It means that the two commanders’ ships will lead their respective squads forward while sailing, but will have other positions in the battle formation.
Mr. David was given full authority to command his own detachment, with complete autonomous combat power, in other words, the fleet was divided into two and quickly put into battle to ensure the end of the battle before sunset.
There are currently 180 battle lines in the South China Fleet, and there are a large number of them. If they are not divided into two, the time spent on arranging the battle line is probably because the forwards are fighting fiercely. The battleships behind are still lining up, waiting for them to enter the battle. , Oh, it's getting dark, then make a p!
The generals all agreed. They are eager to enter the battle early, instead of watching the battle from the back of the team, chewing candies, eating too much sugar is easy to tooth decay!
Cheng Yu complained, he used to serve as a reserve team in the previous battles, people were having fun while he was eating candy!
Everyone should not pity him, who told him to have a chair to sit on!
The meeting room was full of laughter, full of joy!
With tension on one side and optimism on the other side, the war is about to break out...
