Although he had decided to choose the third alternative, Yun Xiaohan was not in a hurry to confirm it. He had something else to do before that.
Yun Xiaohan found Nelson and asked him about the fleet's detachment.
Nelson told Yun Xiaohan that he planned to divide the fleet into three teams. One team is the main battle fleet responsible for controlling sea power and defending Cassis City. In order to ensure speed, this fleet will not load supplies until the end of this operation; in addition,
The two teams are transport fleets, which will be assigned a small number of warships to escort them, and are responsible for taking turns transporting looted materials to the Sardinian Territory.
This kind of detachment is a very satisfactory detachment, neither good nor bad. If Yun Xiaohan doesn't take the initiative to interact with Nelson, he will automatically adopt this kind of detachment. After the materials are loaded into a transport fleet,
This transport fleet will set off, and then another transport fleet will start loading supplies. Before this fleet is full, the previous fleet will return, and the two fleets will take turns, so that
There will be no window period and supplies can be loaded onto the ship all the time.
Before the battle began, Yun Xiaohan carefully considered the difficulties that might be encountered in the battle and made a plan. Although the situation he faced at this time was slightly different from his plan, the difference was not particularly big, so
He only needs to modify the plan to form a customized plan.
In his plan, Nelson's detachment was not very suitable, so he planned to modify it. He suggested to Nelson: "Your Excellency Nelson, I hope you can adjust the detachment. I need you to divide the fleet into four detachments.
, the main battle fleet does not need to make big changes, but the two transport fleets in your original plan are best split into three transport fleets, one of which is slightly larger and can have a few more warships.
and transport ships, the other two transport fleets are slightly smaller.
The two smaller transport fleets are still transporting goods in Ivas City, while the larger one is following me at sea. I will lead my troops to move along the coastline and launch an attack when I find a coastal town suitable for attack.
, I will send a signal after I capture the town, and the larger transport fleet can enter the port to load supplies."
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Yun Xiaohan, interrupt me, do you mean not to use battleships to coordinate the attack?" Nelson heard this and hurriedly interrupted and asked.
"Yes, you don't need the cooperation of battleships. The city of Cassis can be captured in one fell swoop without any preparation, but this kind of thing cannot be done in one fell swoop. A few enemies escaped just now, so the news of our invasion must have spread.
It is uneconomical to use warships to attack the coastal defense system, even if it is a simple coastal defense system. Your ship is much more expensive than their coastal defense guns.
And to complete this operation better, sea control and maritime transport capacity are the key. We can ask the people to help us move supplies, but we cannot suddenly add a large number of ships to you, so the key to limiting the size of our harvest is the size of your fleet.
, so we must cherish the use of your fleet.
What's more, we won't just attack one town next, but fight all the way. Even if a small amount adds up to a large amount, the losses will not be small. Once your battle fleet suffers heavy losses due to a strong attack on the coast, we may even lose control of the sea. At that time,
Nothing can be done.
After all, the coastal defense system is for the sea and cannot defend against land attacks. Moreover, most of the enemy's forces have been mobilized. There is simply not much force available to stop our attack. Moreover, the current situation is everywhere.
Everyone in the merchant alliance territory is in danger, and the possibility of sending reinforcements is very small. In addition, the enemy does not know where we will attack next, so it is impossible to provide support, so the land attack is still very sure.
What's more important is that our shipbuilding capabilities are not as good as those of the Merchant Alliance. In order to maintain the maritime strategic advantage for a longer time, you and your fleet are extremely important. I can fight, but I can't help Sardinia build ships, nor can I help you.
Improve the level of shipbuilding." Yun Xiaohan finally laughed at himself.
"Yes, Your Excellency Yun Xiaohan's statement is really to the point. I didn't expect that you are from the army, but you also have such a profound understanding of the navy. It is really admirable. On behalf of me and my subordinates, I thank you for your consideration and consideration of us.
We will try our best to cooperate with you." As soon as Nelson finished speaking, Yun Xiaohan received a system prompt, and Nelson's favorability level for him increased from "familiarity" to "good friendship."
Nelson's favorability level for Yun Xiaohan was originally at about 75% of the "familiar" progress bar, but now it was at 25% of "good friends", which was almost half a level up.
Next, Nelson followed up and said: "Your Excellency Yun Xiaohan, we have just captured some warships and merchant ships. We can add these ships to the slightly larger transport fleet you requested."
"This is not good. You should add the warships and merchant ships obtained by these captives to the other two smaller transport fleets, and replace the original ships of the Thunderstorm Legion, especially with flexible and high-speed warships.
Form a larger transport fleet, so that this transport fleet can have stronger combat effectiveness, and lower some standards in terms of carrying capacity." Yun Xiaohan held a different view.
"Your Excellency, you mean to guard against possible enemy ships in enemy ports?"
"Exactly, after all, you may encounter small enemy fleets wandering around, so it is always good to be prepared. In addition, if possible, it is best to capture more enemy warships and merchant ships.
Needless to say, when you encounter an enemy small fleet, just go up and start fighting. If there are enemy ships in the enemy port, it depends on how they react. If they rush out of the port, you have to chase them. This is also
The reason why I hope you can bring more flexible and high-speed warships; and it would be better if they do not leave the port. Once we control the coastal defense system from land, they will have no choice but to surrender (the navy in the game has just emerged)
, there is no tradition of scuttling battleships, not to mention that everyone in the merchant alliance does business, and there is no such atmosphere of scuttling).
And you don’t need too many transport ships, as too many transport ships will reduce the combat effectiveness of the fleet. The carrying capacity is almost enough, as long as the carrying capacity can be maintained until the next batch of transport fleets arrives, it will be full.” Yun said.
Xiao Han analyzed.
"The arrival of the next batch of transport fleets? Your Excellency Yun Xiaohan, I wanted to ask you earlier, why did you split the two transport fleets into three transport fleets instead of four? Two fleets are better.
Rotation. Are you worried that after being divided into four fleets, a single fleet will appear weaker?"
