"Now the Eastern Navy only has two aircraft carrier formations and four aircraft carriers entering the Mediterranean, and it is a large and small main battle aircraft carrier and escort aircraft carrier configuration. They have no battleships, only 10,000-ton battle cruisers. This strategy The tonnage of the cruiser is no different from our heavy cruiser."

"But we already have ten large aircraft carriers and a large number of aircraft carriers. Battleships and battlecruisers can use. Even though our aircraft carriers don’t have many carrier-based aircraft, they are already comparable to their small escort aircraft carriers. The aircraft carrier is equipped with more than 600 fighters and bombers, while the four Eastern aircraft carriers have fewer than 400 fighters. We are fully capable of fighting."

Pound analyzed in this way that almost all countries now have a clear understanding of the role of aircraft carriers in naval battles, so they are developing aircraft carriers madly.

However, due to their late start, there is a huge gap between them and the East in terms of technology. Even if it is John’s next-level aircraft carrier, the number of a large-scale carrier-based aircraft is only 80. Now the East has a huge gap. .

However, John’s excellent shipbuilding industry made up for their shortcomings. At the same time, the construction of ten aircraft carriers was also spent. Finally, they were launched in the second half of each year. However, their next six aircraft carriers must not be launched until March or April next year. .

At present, the overall strength of John's navy is only about one-half of the Eastern Pacific Fleet, and about 70% to 80% of the Nanyang Fleet.

Although there is a gap in performance, their huge auxiliary ships and capital ships still make up for some of the shortcomings, even when they are constrained by the navy of the will.

"Prime Minister, since the navy is likely to win, then we should give the Easterners a severe lesson to let them know that our John's navy is not something they can bully."

"Yes! If you can defeat the Eastern navy, it will not have an impact on the entire war situation, but if you can defeat their troops in North Africa through the cooperation of the army and block the Suez Canal, it will undoubtedly affect the entire situation. The situation has had a major impact, and their oil powerhouse, the Middle East, will also be exposed to our attack."

Under their exaggerated propaganda, after defeating the alliance of will and high heels, the morale of the entire country has greatly improved. People have become more and more confident in the future. If even the most powerful Orientals are defeated, the domestic The enthusiasm of the people will probably reach a point where it cannot be increased.

"How sure are we?"

Churchill nodded. Although he also wanted to hit the Easterners hard, after all, many neutral countries, the countries that were originally ambiguous, have gradually turned to the east and the state of will with the development of war. The form is very unfavorable for them. After all, those countries Nor is it a fool. Today's Axis Alliance is in full swing, and everyone knows the victory of the Allies in North Africa.000 literature www.000wxxs.com

It takes a big victory to stop this trend, but once it fails, the ending will not be particularly good.

"Your Excellency, the war does not say which side will win. I can only say that our chances of winning will be much greater than that of the Easterners."

The variables in naval battles are so great that even the dominant party dare not speak of victory, not to mention that the Eastern Navy is not a persimmon.

"Okay! I agree! We must do our best to bring a victory to the British Empire." Churchill finally nodded helplessly...

At this meeting, John made an important decision, that is, to first defeat the Eastern Navy's deployment in the Mediterranean, control the sea power, and prepare for the possible battle launched by the Army.

The Secretary of the Navy Pound also immediately began to prepare accordingly. John Colonn Tovey was appointed as the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet and he will be responsible for the command of the Mediterranean campaign.

"My general, this time it's up to you to defend the honor of the Royal Navy. You must win!" Pound said to Tovey.

"Your Excellency Commander, what you gave me is really not a good job. Orientals are not easy to deal with. The performance of our aircraft carrier is too far behind them! This is a difficult task."

Tovey smiled and said to Pound, but there was no complaint in his tone.

"General Tovey, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I admit that this is not an easy task to complete, but the Royal Navy does have to prove itself once, and we also have a certain advantage." Pound obviously also knows that this kid is here. I want to benefit from myself.

"General, I need a powerful battleship. The Orientals are not easy to deal with. Our aircraft carriers may not be able to suppress them. Although we seem to have a larger number, you should be aware of the fact that I need more powerful battleships and battleships. The number of cruisers, even cruisers and destroyers must be twice as many as theirs."

Sure enough, Tovey spoke. Tucker would not be fooled. He would also agree to honor or something. If it was just the aircraft carrier formation, he would definitely refuse to fight. It would make sense to win the battle and live...
