Chapter 1120： The outbreak of war (2/2)

With the development of the times, all walks of life are full of competition, and newspapers are no exception.

Sulawesi alone has more than 30 newspapers, large and small, and it is not easy to survive.

The era of crude news supply is over long ago. To do news now, you must not only provide news content, but also provide customer service.

In this context, opening a column is very particular. Not only must there be enough news content, but also a refreshing interpretation.

The newspaper will be sent out in a few hours. After eliminating the printing time, less time is left for the editorial department.

In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to produce a column that will make readers buy it.

Similar situations have not happened. In order to ensure that major news is not missed, the usual choice is to scrap the previous printed newspapers and reprint them after retypesetting.

Limited by productivity, the cost of printing newspapers this year is not low, and the loss every time it is overturned is a kind of pressure for the newspaper.

In this context, news people love and hate breaking news.

...

The headquarters of the South Sea Fleet of the Holy Roman Empire, as the commander of the fleet, General Arest, received the news earlier than the newspaper.

Now that the full-scale war has broken out, the confrontation with the Royal Navy has also entered a new stage.

Before the outbreak of the all-out war, I was thinking of seeking opportunities for sneak attacks and killing the opponent's main fleet at once. Now you can't be so picky, and the small fish and shrimp can't be spared either.

No need to think about sneak attacks on Shenma for the time being. The birth of the aircraft has changed the mode of warfare.

When the enemy is prepared, it is simply impossible to hide the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance ships.

Unless you have the courage to be fat, you dare to go on a boat overnight at the risk of getting lost and hitting the rocks, and go directly to people's door to launch a sneak attack.

Just think about it, anyway, Aleist would not take the Nanyang Fleet to gamble on that trivial chance of success.

Holding the baton, pointing at the map on the wall: ”This is Cam Ranh Bay, one of the best ports in Asia, and the base camp of our opponent, the Royal Navy's Far East Fleet.

With the efforts of the intelligence personnel, we have basically clarified the general situation of Cam Ranh Bay, and we can only say that it is not optimistic.

Perhaps because the imperial air force’s prestige was so prestigious, the British were scared of their guts, and now they attach great importance to air defense.

In Cam Ranh Bay, the British deployed two air force regiments and three air defense regiments. The specific armaments are not detailed. There are about eighty fighters, at least fifty anti-aircraft artillery, and several anti-aircraft machine guns.

This can be detected on the surface, and whether it is hidden in the dark is not yet known.

Although the performance of these weapons is not very good, they are still very threatening to the low-altitude bombers.

If it is normal, this is naturally not a problem. As long as the record is large enough, it is worth paying a little loss.

The current situation is an exception. The Suez Canal has been interrupted. It will be difficult for us to obtain supplements from the country for at least six months in the future.

The fighters in our hands are now one less attrition. The total number of active fighters in the aircraft carrier formation plus reserve fighters is 300.

It seems that we have more aircraft, but the aircraft carrier fighters are mainly bombers, and the number of real fighters is very small.

Once the battle begins, the British Air Force stationed in the surrounding areas will also provide reinforcements.

We must re-examine the value of the precious aircraft carrier fighters and the enemy. ”

The reality is so cruel, regardless of how superior the performance of the fighters in the aircraft carrier formation are, but the bombers are after all bombers, and they will still be cool when they encounter specialized fighters.

Coupled with the intensive air defense firepower of the enemy, Cam Ranh Bay is clearly a dragon pond and tiger den. If the failure of the raid becomes a storm, it is still unknown whether the aircraft carrier formation can sustain it.

In case of heavy losses, after a wave, the aircraft carrier formation built by the Vienna government heavily will be abandoned.

You must know that this thing is used to deal with enemy warships, not for air combat. Really want to fight in the air, that is the business category of the Air Force.

Chief of Staff Ebert Gobostela: ”Your Excellency Commander, the task given to us by our country is to destroy as much as possible to minimize the flow of materials from the Far East into the British Isles.

Compared with the vast empire, the British Isles are too small. Once the outside materials are left, the potential for war will be greatly lost.

In this context, it is the British talents who must urgently seek a decisive battle. As long as we block the Strait of Malacca, the mission will be half done.

As for how to solve the problem of the Royal Navy's Far East Fleet, it is not a matter of one or two days. As long as you stabilize the situation, you can slowly seek opportunities later. ”

Conservative and rigid?

No, this is rational.

War is for politics. If the Holy Roman Empire wants to win this war, the first thing to do is to cut off the supply of supplies to the British Isles.

As long as this strategic goal is achieved, the success or failure of other local battlefields is not important on the whole.

All of them are serving this war, and there is absolutely no meaning to persuading them, at most they are just respecting the heart.

Rear Admiral Davidson: ”The Chief of Staff, that was right. The British are now anxious for a decisive battle. If they linger, we will take Singapore and lock the Strait of Malacca.

At the same time, the war to break diplomatic relations must also be launched quickly. The colonies all over Southeast Asia are our greatest advantage.

Once this advantage is brought into play, it will not be so simple for the British to want to transport materials from the Far East to the British Isles.

If this really happened, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the coastline, the British Far East Fleet could not think of a decisive battle with us. ”

Passivity and initiative are very important, not only means the right to speak, but more importantly, it can influence the choice of the decisive battle location.

Fighting at the door of one's own house is always more advantageous than playing at the door of other people's house. If you are lucky, the Air Force can come out and join in the fun.
