All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

"Nimitz, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

Speaking of which, now that the location of the pirate base island has been found, the next thing is relatively simple. All we need to do is dispatch the fleet and completely destroy it.

But how should this battle be fought? It is to go straight to Huanglong and attack As for the pirate base islands, we should give priority to annihilating the escaping pirate fleets and eliminating hidden dangers. This is the issue that needs to be considered at present.

Nimitz put down the telegram in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and said softly:"Sir, in fact, you also know, There are now two different combat plans, both of which can solve the current problem, but what we need to consider is which combat plan will allow us to obtain the greatest benefits."

"If we simply focus on the present, we must give priority to clearing out the escaping pirate fleets. While these fleets are still under our control, we can deal with them first and then attack the pirate base islands."

Ye Bai nodded. This question is not complicated. Even a layman like him can think of it. Therefore, he was not surprised at all when he heard Nimitz's words. He just asked:"You just said that considering the current situation, this is The combat plan is the most suitable, but what if we consider it from other levels?"

Nimitz sighed and continued:"If you think about it from other aspects, you should go straight to Huanglong and take advantage of the pirate fleets scattered in the sea to capture the pirate base island in one fell swoop and completely destroy it."

"However, with this style of play, we do not have the extra power to track the scattered pirate fleets at all times. They will either return to the base for reinforcements, or they will flee far away."

"Once the pirate base island is destroyed, these pirate fleets will regroup and summon more pirate fleets to create a new pirate base island. At that time, we will be somewhat passive."

Ye Bai looked at Nimitz steadily without saying a word. He felt that Nimitz had not completely finished what he said, and there was still more to follow.

Sure enough, seeing that Ye Bai had no intention of speaking, Nimitz continued again. :"This approach has one advantage, that is, it can create an additional pirate base island in the sea. The benefits of destroying a pirate base are best understood by adults."

"So whether it is worth spending so much time and energy to find the new pirate base island still needs to be decided by adults."

Well, now Ye Bai completely understood. What Nimitz meant was that if it was just for the immediate benefit, then he should proceed step by step, first cut off the outer branches, and finally clean up the main trunk.

If you want to be more greedy, you can get more For big benefits, just clean up the main trunk first, let those branches continue to develop, strengthen into new trunks, and bring more benefits to yourself.

But what you need to worry about is that it will cost a lot to wait for these branches to grow up. The key is the time. No one knows where the newly grown trunk will appear in the sea.

It will also take a lot of energy and time to search slowly. Maybe by the time you find it, the other party has already developed. If the opponent becomes quite powerful, he may not be able to defeat the other party in a short period of time, which would become a typical tiger-raising problem.

Subconsciously, Ye Bai wanted to choose the safest approach, starting from the periphery, one by one. Wipe out these pirate fleets, and finally attack the pirate base island.

Anyway, they have already grasped the location of the pirate base island, and they can attack it at any time.

But, as the saying goes,"The human heart is not enough for the snake to swallow the elephant." It is not easy to be satisfied, especially when you have already achieved a certain amount of gains, of course you want to get more.

Now Ye Bai is trapped in this state, while destroying a pirate base island, he also wants to get more. The temptation of being able to harvest another pirate base island again was something he couldn't refuse. The insufficient supply of raw materials in small spaces resulted in the shipyards being unable to operate at full capacity, and had to leave a large number of slipways vacant.

This problem must be solved from the root. , the simplest and most effective way is to obtain the space crystals rewarded by the system, which not only expands the area of ​​the small space, but also increases the source of raw materials in the small space. By building a pirate base island, you can naturally obtain generous rewards from the system. But even if Ye Bai has always been very lucky, he can't guarantee that one system reward will cost him a space crystal.

If there are two system rewards, then he will finally get the space crystal. The chances are doubled, making it easier for your wishes to come true.

"Nimitz, if we choose to directly attack the pirate base island, can you continue to control the location of other pirate fleets? It is best to continue to monitor and find the newly born pirate base island."

Nimitz just made it very clear that the biggest problem with this combat plan is that it cannot maintain effective long-term monitoring of other pirate fleets. The new pirate base islands refreshed by the system are random, and no one knows where they will appear. Place.

Once the pirate base island randomly refreshed by the system cannot be found in the shortest time, then this newly born pirate force will gradually develop and become more and more powerful.

Nimitz's face was a little solemn , he has been following Ye Bai for a long time, and he has some understanding of Ye Bai. When he told these two different battle plans, he had already roughly guessed Ye Bai's psychological tendencies, so it was considered He had been prepared for a long time.

He sighed and then said seriously:"Sir, I am going to send a submarine formation to be distributed throughout the sea area to monitor the sea area and control these scattered pirate fleets. If you are lucky enough, the new pirates will The base island is refreshed by the system, and we can know its specific location immediately."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up and he said quickly:"This is a good idea. At worst, we will send out all the submarines we have. There are hundreds of them, which is enough to monitor most of the sea areas. Even if it is not enough, we can also let the shipbuilders The factory immediately started working and rushed out a batch."

The supply of raw materials in small spaces is indeed insufficient, but that is for a large-scale shipbuilding plan. If we only produce some submarines, the supply of raw materials will not be a problem. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network! )

And after all the new batch of 60 Dietmarschen-class comprehensive supply ships were launched into service, the shipyard stopped working again and did not start building new warships. The raw material resources produced daily in a small space were reserved. , which is more than enough to produce a batch of Type XXI submarines.

"Sir, although this plan is feasible, it has some difficulties. Firstly, there are so many submarines distributed in the sea area, and a special supply fleet needs to be dispatched to supply these submarines in order to allow the submarine formation to operate in the sea area for a long time."

"The second is that we cannot guarantee 100% that these submarines will be able to find the new pirate base island in time. It just increases the probability, and there is also a certain risk."

Ye Bai frowned and was thinking carefully in his mind. After the success of this combat plan, the benefits will be great. Maybe it can completely solve the problem of insufficient supply of raw materials in small spaces.

Although after Shen Deyi returns to German Island, the two sides will You can start trading warships to obtain a large number of raw material resources to meet the subsequent warship construction plan.

However, the caravan led by Shen Deyi has only left for more than half a month, and it will take at least one and a half months to return to German Island. During the period before the transaction, small-space shipyards were almost always in a state of shutdown, which was not very cost-effective.

Also, this kind of warship transaction is not without any effort. While obtaining a large amount of raw material resources , Ye Bai also needs to trade out the warships in his hands, which will reduce the number of warships in each fleet.

Even if new warships are completed and put into service by then, they will at most be able to maintain the current scale and organization of each fleet. , cannot be expanded, and naturally cannot carry out other major actions.

Although all the newly launched warships will be new warships with better performance, the old warships traded out have improved the combat effectiveness of the fleet..

But it takes a long time. Once any unexpected changes occur in the process, the Chinese fleet will not have enough warships to cope with some things, and the allocation of warships will also become stretched. Thinking of this Therefore, the balance in Ye Bai's heart is constantly leaning towards more risky combat plans.

This is the difference between Ye Bai (Li's) and Nimitz. Although Nimitz is not only good at tactical command, he is also good at strategy. Planning, but it is usually considered from a military perspective, so it is more acceptable to relatively conservative combat plans. But Ye Bai is different. He needs to take into account the current situation facing the Chinese fleet, as well as the chaotic situation in the entire maritime world. Especially the 38-year customs clearance period hung above his head like a knife.

This sense of urgency forced him to choose some more risky options at some point for the sake of greater benefits and gains. Behavior.

It was the same this time. After thinking about it for a while, Ye Bai still said with a solemn face:"｀.Supplying submarines is not a troublesome matter. Langsdorf's security fleet has just added 30 Dietmarschen-class comprehensive supply ships. We can allocate some of them to follow the patrol fleet. While patrolling the entire sea area, we can also provide supplies to submarines. Submarine units distributed in the sea area provide supplies"[]

"As for whether these submarines can find the newly born pirate base island in the shortest possible time, I don’t think we need to worry too much. I believe they can do it in time."

"Taking a step back, even if they can't be found in time, it won't be that easy for this group of pirates to develop quickly, at least not faster than ours."
