Jerez Strait Sea Warfare - Approaching

Commander of the Second Reich Navy Black Sea Fleet of Christ, Lieutenant General Labase was not in the mood for boarding.

Indeed, it is the honor of the samurai to go to battlefield for their country.

It is not a bad idea to head to the Aegean side, which is disadvantaged in numbers, to rescue our country.

But on that premise, it is disturbing to say that he will leave the Black Sea, which he has been accustomed to for many years, and head to the Aegean Sea, which is an unknown sea for him.

"I know there aren't that many choices for us, thank you."

"... admiral?

"No, forget it. Just talking to myself."

LaVerse was so anxious about this battle that he made a weak noise in front of his deputy.

But there was no way to reject it more than it was a military order, and the fleet he led was even southbound through the strait in a single longitudinal formation.

Such reports of "enemy fleet discovery" were brought to the Black Sea fleet at 13: 20 when the fleet reached the middle of the strait.

In the crooked straits, Labase does not see them directly because of the presence of land between them and the enemy fleet. The first to discover the enemy fleet was the Central Army of Christ in the Dardanelles garrison.

"The enemy fleet is anchored off the coast of Belkhalmi near the Jerez Strait exit, where sorcery attacks from Dardanelles do not extend. Six ships in total."

Fleet Command personnel receiving information from the deputy secretary of the reporter look incredible.

That is only because I am surprised by the information that "anchor".

"You think you're anchored in such a watershed? What are they thinking?

"It's too close to Dardanelles off the coast of Belkhalmi to dock. Imroz Island would be the best place to dock, and I would say this is in an attitude of intercepting us"

"But isn't it like saying, 'It's for practice, please shoot me' if you're anchoring? Could it be some kind of trap?

As the staff exchanged their opinions, the then Fleet Commander, Labase, had already found a conclusion.

"No, there's probably no trap or anything. Maybe he's expecting us to become a suspect."

That's how Labase cuts it out and informs his staff of his own reflections.

"This enemy fleet is presumably the 'Glycos Fleet' of the Ostomark Imperial Navy, which had prior information from the Command. According to the information, it is less proficient in the new fleet. To mean this is to say that this counter-attack operation, drawn up by the Command, has not been detected beforehand and the Yang Dynasty has been almost perfectly successful. and that we are relatively advantageous."

If the Imperial Army had pre-sensed the Central Army operation, it would not have placed a less sophisticated fleet in this strait.

Interception in the papal navy, or restraint reasonable in the Ostmarc Black Sea fleet. There is no reasonable reason to rush out the new fleet.

That is to say, there is no fleet strength that the enemy can move freely in the Aegean.

That means that if the Christ Black Sea fleet destroys this Glycos fleet and breaks through the strait, Labase can strike the Izmir blockaded fleet without caring behind it. That is.

"But the problem is the tide and wind direction in the Strait of Jerez... Chief sailor, how's it going with the chickens?

"... you're kicking around like a civilian who got mixed up in a noble ball. Wind speeds vary from moment to moment, and you can't maneuver a ship properly. Six knots is at best."

"Then it might be difficult to forcibly break through. No matter how many enemies say recruits."

The Black Sea Fleet of Christ is in a so-called "typographically unfavourable" situation against the enemy fleet, which is unfolding in the form of anchoring and blocking straits.

To overshadow it, leave it to the power of the wind to break through the centre of the fleet and disrupt the enemy's chain of command, as the Ostmarc Tyrrhenian coalition fleet did off the coast of Crete, or bypass the enemy fleet and take an unsealed and sandwiched stance while attacking from the rear, which becomes the ship's weakness.

But the tactics are almost impossible to execute, hampered by what we call complex winds and torrential tides, narrow straits.

If Labasse and others had been familiar with the Strait of Jerez, it would have been possible to read and maneuver the tide and wind movements, but for them it could not be because the Strait of Jerez was also an unknown sea.

To that conclusion, the staff had no choice but to shut up.

"My lord, what can you do?

"... eyes in your eyes."

"What?"

Half the things that surprised me about Labase's words gave me a look somewhere convincing.

For an incomprehensible staff member, Labase opens his mouth and explains.

"We use the same tactics as they do. Arrange the fleet in parallel with the enemy fleet, unloading and attacking it. If you do, the tactical conditions are five minutes. It is possible to push through the difference between proficiency and number."

"I see... but that's"

Surprised and convinced, when one of the staff members tried to disprove it, Labase controlled it with his hands. Needless to say, the staff member's objection to that hand was anticipated.

"I know. The problem is that the enemy can't be silent until we're ready. If you're bad, you can flip a few strengths before you're ready. … a battle with time. Let the head of each verdict thoroughly complete the procedure."

"Ha! Immediately!

The Black Sea fleet continues south.

And 15: 20. Finally, the eyes of the commanders of both armies put the enemy fleet in its sight.

Christ Black Sea Fleet, a total of nine ships.

Opposite Ostmarc Glycos fleet, six ships in total.

It is a small battle compared to a naval battle off the coast of Crete, but the naval battle, whose value is more than that, is at last the moment of its opening.
