Chapter 236

A huge chart was spread in the war room, covering almost the entire east coast of North America, extending from Florida at the southernmost end to Newfoundland as far away as Newfoundland.

Bermuda Island hangs alone overseas, with a bright red fan-shaped frame as the center, covering the vast coast from Cape sable on the Florida Peninsula to montork, the town of Long Island, New York.

Another fan-shaped frame connects with it, starting from Montauk, covering the whole of Canada and the rest of the east coast of the United States.

This is the patrol range of two formations under the mainland sub fleet of the new continental fleet of the Royal British navy.

The first formation is stationed in Hamilton, leading New York south, and the second formation is stationed in Chenal Basque, Newfoundland, presiding over New York North.

Rear admiral shack Drake was the commander of the sub fleet and the commander in chief of the powerful first formation.

Lorraine is familiar with Sark and even dares to boast that he is the most familiar person in the world with Sark's command characteristics and war thinking. Hundreds of assignments on the map have brought the two brothers not only mutual progress, but also deep-rooted mutual understanding.

But now the enemy is bright and I am dark!

In the fan-shaped frame of the first formation, there are six strange circles, three red and three black.

The six circles occupy all the positions from the Grand Bahamas to the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, near or far from the mainland, while the chess pieces representing the Jackdaw are at the center of the northernmost circle.

Lorraine picked up the baton.

"Shaq's fleet warfare thinking is based on a special defense thinking, that is, the circular formation defense tactics you see."

"In this tactic, the fleet will be divided into small formations of different sizes and arranged in a circular trajectory in a clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise and so on."

"Each route track has one to three observation points. Within a limited time, the subordinate track must observe the superior track before starting the second round of patrol. If the superior track loses contact, it will be regarded as meeting the enemy, and the subordinate track will search in the opposite direction of the superior ship and join the battle in the form of reinforcement."

"Limited route, limited speed and limited handover! Because of the too complex basic structure, shack's circular formation defense tactics are regarded as stiff, rigid, untimely and lack of initiative in the eyes of the staff of the Royal Navy, which leads to the low evaluation of shack's command ability by the Navy Department."

"But!"

Lorraine pushed the pieces of the Jackdaw all the way south until they coincided with a certain arc of the southernmost circle.

"Suppose our understanding of Shaq's tactical thinking is not as good as that of the naval staff who have read his three relevant papers. What will happen if the Jackdaw collides with patrol formation 1 at this point?"

"There will be an exchange of fire."

Bell took over, took out more pieces from the small box on one side, and put three pieces around the Jackdaw.

"The number of a patrol formation is two to four, and three of them will fall into battle. If you can't quickly defeat the enemy in front of you..."

"No. 2 patrol formation will ask the enemy for reinforcements." bell put three more pieces, and the Jackdaw was one to six, "and then No. 3, No. 4, No. 5..."

Seeing that there were many chess pieces opposite the jackdaw, Lorraine swept the teaching stick and knocked all the pieces to the ground.

"This is the basic principle of Sark's tactics. The tactical framework is static, but the tactical defense is dynamic. It is just the opposite of the active defense and static shelling of the world's mainstream powers."

"The invading enemy is often confused by a small number of enemies at the beginning. However, the duration of standard encounter is often more than two hours. Shaq's orders to his subordinates are mainly delayed and defensive counterattack. When the enemy reacts, Shaq has reversed the war situation and steadily rose from the weak side to the dominant side or even the strong side."

Bell chimed in again: "Sir Leighton, our teacher, called shack Drake a Senju in the Royal Navy. His terrible thing is that the circular defense is an overt plan and an upright tactic."

"Hide the lower formation in the hinterland and let the higher formation break into the enemy's array. If the enemy is equal, he will delay reinforcements. If the enemy is strong, he will abandon his son and form a battle line and retreat thousands of miles."

"His tactics are mature. Falling into them is like prey hanged by mori. There will be no second means except killing snakes to escape."

Bell took a long breath and looked up at the thought of the crowd.

Acharin has the most solid military foundation, so he frowns the most tightly, followed by half hanging pierce and elite pirate Katrina. Karen and Wang Ye can understand a little, and Haina, Noah, Carmen and Daniel who don't care at all.

After a long silence, Karen swallowed hard.

"Since this tactic has no solution, why didn't we encounter any decent obstacles along the way except being careful? The Jackdaw has even been moored in this sea area for several hours, and has not been found by that defense tactic until now..."

Bell rolled his eyes angrily: "because in this world, only Lorraine is special."

"Hmm?" the crowd was surprised.

Lorraine put his hands together with warm eyes: "you should all know the relationship between Shaq and me. Some small grudges have nothing to do with today, but before the grudge happened, our relationship was actually very good."

"Hmm?!" except for a few people, such as Haina and bell, the fear on their faces was more serious.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about. Father is kind and son is filial. When my father was still alive, we were model brothers, and many of his circular tactics were my suggestions. Of course, his creativity and creation are his, which is beyond doubt."

"I helped him improve the round tactics and discussed with him the biggest defect of the tactics. It is still the characteristic of the python. This tactic can make all kinds of changes only after being activated by the intruder. Just like the python, if it can't rein in its opponent, it is just a big lump of non-toxic and fast snake meat in the final analysis."

Acharina said, "this is also a defect?"

"As a kind of regional defense based on the assumption of enemy invasion, this is really not a defect. After all, no country will tolerate one or two fast ships to launch an invasion independently. This is of no use except to laugh and be generous."

"But we are different. The viper is all we have. It is smart, high-speed, forward and backward freely, and its speed under the same wind conditions is higher than that of the fastest brig type of warship."

"Our observation distance is more than 20 kilometers. The defense formation can't do anything about us. We can't catch up and close it."

"Even, I only observed three circles and calculated the specific trajectory of the other three circles. Karen said that the Jackdaw had been moored in this sea area for a long time, which shows that my calculation is correct, so I can hide in the center of the sixth circle and hide in the blind spot of the whole formation."

"In short, Shaq's proud tactics are useless to us. There is only one difficulty on this smuggling line..."

The teaching stick pushed forward, slowly, slowly, firmly pressed at a point.

"The lack of Cape Charles and Cape Henry, the big shell of Algonquin, the treasure land of Virginia and Maryland, that is... This section of Chesapeake Bay, which is only 19 kilometers wide, is our ghost gate."
