Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Logically speaking, it only takes 21 days to reach Tianzhu from the mainland of the John Empire.

But the John Empire lost control of the earth.

They are still competing with the Kingdom of Italy for control of the Mediterranean.

At this time, although half of the control of the Strait of Gibraltar is in its own hands, on the other side, the Iliban Kingdom is very dissatisfied with the John Empire's seizure of the Gibraltar Port that originally belonged to it.

But the current Iliban Kingdom is still no match for the John Empire.

Therefore, it is not a big problem for the John Empire to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Entering the Mediterranean, the John Empire needed to face the bombings of Hans and Gauls aircraft and the fleet of the Kingdom of Italy.

Strictly speaking, even if the three countries join forces, the John Empire's navy can still have the upper hand.

Finally, it enters the Indian Ocean from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. This section is okay except for the coastal defense forts of the Kingdom of Italy in Djibouti.

If John Empire only had to face any one of these three challenges, he would choose the most time-saving Mediterranean route.

But the problem is that if he wants to take the Mediterranean route now, he needs to pass three passes first, and then go to compete with a naval power like Daxia, which makes them uncomfortable.

The consumption on the road is too great.

Therefore, Emperor John planned to take the Cape of Good Hope and go around the southernmost tip of Africa.

In this way, it will take more time, but it will be safer.

Therefore, the John Empire Command needed Tianzhu to fight Daxia's attack alone for three months.

In fact, the John Empire had already made a plan to rescue Tianzhu. It just wanted to compete with Daxia for sea control. It was said to be too big and would directly affect the John Empire's deployment of sea power in other areas, so there was no movement.

But now, Daxia showed no mercy and took the initiative to attack Tianzhu and Australia. This forced the John Empire to choose a sea showdown with Daxia.

After the end of April 1932, Daxia did not withdraw its troops before the final time given by the John Empire. This forced the John Empire and Millikin to send fleets to fight Daxia.

On May 1932, 5, the assembled Imperial John's Royal Combined Fleet and the American Atlantic Fleet set out from Portsmouth Naval Port in the English Channel.

Then this huge fleet, with a total number of ships of more than 260, sailed all the way south, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and then passed through the Strait of Madagascar and entered the Indian Ocean.

Finally, we made final supplies in Sri Lanka, and then went to the Strait of Malacca to fight with the Third Combined Fleet of the Daxia Empire.

At the same time, more than a hundred battleships of the American Pacific Fleet will also set out from San Francisco and Los Angeles across the entire Pacific to cooperate with the Royal United Fleet and the American Atlantic Fleet of the John Empire to attack.

From the moment the fleets of the two countries set off, the Daxia Empire received the news.

The Imperial General Staff judged that this was the maximum strength that the two countries could now use.

As long as these two fleets are defeated, the Imperial Navy will become the most powerful navy in the world.

In other words, this naval battle will determine the pattern of the world in the next few decades.

If it wins, the Daxia Empire will have no rivals on the sea, and Daxia will have the final say on the sea from now on.

If defeated, Daxia would have no choice but to retreat to the mainland.

Therefore, the advice given by the staff is that this time Daxia needs to use all its strength and deal with it seriously.

At the same time, the General Staff pointed out that in this battle, the number of enemy ships far exceeded that of the empire, but they were operating separately.

Therefore, this is an opportunity for Daxia.

Therefore, the Imperial General Staff recommended that all current tasks of the Imperial Navy be cancelled, and all efforts should be concentrated on defeating the invading enemy.

Among them, the Third Combined Fleet canceled its escort mission in Australia, returned to Malacca City, and launched defenses around the Strait of Malacca.

According to the assessment of the General Staff, the number of warships in the Third Combined Fleet is less than the number of John Empire and Millennium Combined Fleets.

However, the strength of the Third United Fleet is the strongest among the three major fleets of the empire. Let it face John's Empire alone. Although the Allied Forces of Millenia are insufficient in offense, they are more than adequate in defense.

Moreover, coupled with the two land-based flying groups and coastal defense artillery fortresses in Malacca, they can definitely achieve an invincible position.

The first and second combined fleets lifted the naval blockade against Sakura Country and took the initiative to find an opportunity for a decisive battle with the American Pacific Fleet.

The strength of these two fleets far exceeds that of the American Pacific Fleet.

After quickly defeating the Milician Pacific Fleet with an absolute advantage, the First and Second Combined Fleets can bypass the Java Islands, from the waters off Java Island near Australia, to the rear of the coalition fleet.

In the end, with the strength of the three major fleets, they defeated the fleets of the John Empire and the American Alliance and completely sunk them outside the Strait of Malacca.

If this plan succeeds, then the Third Combined Fleet will officially enter the Indian Ocean and control the Indian Ocean.

The First Combined Fleet will return to defend the Empire's homeland, and the Second Combined Fleet will station in the Kingdom of Hawaii to restrain America and completely control the Pacific Ocean in the hands of the Empire.

Soon the plan was sent to Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi saw this plan, he felt that it was very feasible.

The only more difficult thing is whether the Third United Fleet can withstand the attacks of the John Empire and Millican.

If it can be blocked and kept out of the Strait of Malacca, then the empire's control of the Indian Ocean will be considered stable.

On the contrary, if not blocked, the coalition forces will rush into the South Pacific waters and even directly threaten the empire's homeland.

Therefore, Lin Yi agreed in principle with the General Staff's combat plan, but he also wanted to add an insurance policy to the plan.

Therefore, Lin Yi made a note at the back of the plan: deploy two No. 1 bombs in Malacca City in case of any eventuality.

The so-called No. 1 bomb is Daxia's secret weapon.

Lin Yi felt that there were two "mushrooms" in his mind. No matter what happened in this battle, the empire would definitely win.

This is not to say that Lin Yi has no confidence in the imperial navy. On the contrary, Lin Yi actually has more confidence in the navy than in the army.

However, having confidence is confidence, which does not prevent him from providing insurance for this naval battle.

After all, what he represents now is not himself, but the entire Great Xia Empire.

Sometimes, in one or two battles, Daxia cannot afford to lose. In fact, Lin Yi feels that letting Daxia suffer a small loss occasionally will help to make Daxia alert, instead of being arrogant and complacent. An egotistical situation.

As the saying goes, running a country is like walking on thin ice, and you cannot slack off at any step.

Until this kind of defeat was limited to regional battles, rather than the decisive battle that can determine the trend of the empire in the next hundred years like now.

Although, from a personal level, Lin Yi does not want to use mushrooms, and even feels that mushrooms should not appear in the process of human civilization.

However, at the national level, he felt that the empire must possess such weapons of mass destruction. Even more is better.

This is because the levels are different, and the results of looking at things are also different.

If one day, he really needs to use this weapon, he will choose to use it without hesitation.
