Chapter 669: The Peak From the Beginning
The intelligence department of Dayang Group worked hard and collected more than 30,000 pieces of information in just one day.
Then Zhang Hao organized the think tanks and staff of Dayang Group to analyze overnight. During this period, information continued to gather.
After waiting until the middle of the night, he finally figured out the basic situation, and this analysis also allowed Zhang Hao to figure out the reason for the "negative" behavior after the outbreak of the war in the Kingdom of Shaoze:
However, after the outbreak of this war, the Kingdom of Shaoze is going to join forces with the Kingdom of Canglan and the Xiaoyao Sect to cut off the route of the Xuanzhen Sect on the Emerald Sea.
From the very beginning, the strategic plan was achieved almost perfectly.
In the north, because of Liuli Island and the Xiaoyao Sect, the Xuanzhen Sect's northern navigation line was also cut off.
Therefore, at that time, Xuanzhen Sect could only obtain foreign resources through the western coastline. But the western voyage line is the open sea, so we can only rely on the Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom. This will inevitably lead to a rapid increase in costs.
In contrast, the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Xiaoyao School enjoy the prosperity of the inner sea.
It is conceivable that as long as this strategy continues, Xuanzhen Sect will soon struggle and eventually fall apart. The Kingdom of Shaoze can wait until the Xuanzhen Sect disintegrates without much effort.
However, since the Xuanzhen Sect crazily 'robbed' the Dayang Group, the situation has changed. The Xuanzhen Sect suddenly broke out with a master of supernatural powers, annihilating the Land of Canglan in one go, and the Xuanzhen Sect regained control of the ports and routes in the Inner Sea!
Under such circumstances, the plan between the country of Shaoze and the strategic alliance naturally went bankrupt. In order to remedy the situation, the next step is to launch a sea war and completely bury the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet in the sea!
In addition, the reason why the strategic alliance has to focus on cultivating the Xuanzhen Sect is because... the persimmons are soft!
Xuanzhen Sect is the most isolated among the many holy places, and it also has the lowest combat ability. As long as Xuanzhen Sect can be eliminated, the strategic alliance can not only mobilize a large number of military forces, but also gain a safe and stable rear in the northern battlefield.
Moreover, the Xuanzhen Sect has a good industrial base. If they can get these industrial bases, it is also crucial for the strategic alliance.
By the way, it can also contain the Ocean Group and Qixia Kingdom.
Therefore, the overall strategic plan of the strategic alliance is to go north first and then south!
Get rid of Xuanzhen Sect, the next one is Xianyin Sect. Then attack from the north and the south, and kill the Tiandu faction, Mingjiao, Xuanmingjiao, etc.
For this strategic plan, the strategic alliance has begun to mobilize and deploy warships.
The strategic alliance now also has a strong ship production capacity; it is impossible to say that the quality exceeds Dayang Group. But there are so many!
Regardless of whether it is an advanced steel warship, or an ordinary dark iron warship, or even a skinned warship, there are thousands of them.
Just a few coastal countries in the south of the Xiaoyao faction provided up to 200 large and small steel warships, and there were as many as 500 black iron warships! As for the skinned warships, there are as many as 2,000, many of which are 50,000-ton ships!
Many former merchant ships have transformed into warships!
The Xiaoyao faction itself also has a powerful fleet and two weaker fleets.
That powerful main fleet is the Sea Dragon Fleet. There are 52 large and small warships in the fleet, all of which were purchased from Dayang Group, and many upgrades were made later.
There are also two weaker fleets, each with 20 to 30 warships, all of which were produced by the Xiaoyao faction.
In total, the Xiaoyao faction can produce more than 800 warships and more than 2,000 warships by themselves!
In addition, there is West Kunlun, which is almost the same number.
The country of Shaoze is a little less, only about two-thirds of the number. However, the industrial production capacity of the country of Shaoze is more concentrated, and the explosive power of industry cannot be ignored.
In the end, the Thunder Fleet before the Canglan Kingdom had more than 50 warships, large and small, and they fled to the Shaoze Kingdom before the country was destroyed.
In the south, the Tianmo Sect and the Wusheng Tianluo Sect also organized fleets, holding back the fleets of the Tiandu Sect and Jiuyoumen.
And because the Tianmo Cult captured many battleships of the Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect, the fleet of the Tianmo Cult is extremely powerful, and the fleet of Jiuyoumen, which is currently fighting, can't shrink back.
The current Jiuyoumen, under the double attack of the Tianmo Sect's land and sea, is also beginning to be stretched.
After introducing all the situation, Bai Ye said, "I think the strategic alliance has a huge advantage. They have planned it for a long time.
However, Xuanzhen Sect, Xianyin Sect, Tiandu Sect, Mingjiao, Xuanming Sect, Da Luozong, and Jiuyoumen have only recently signed the "Anti-Aggression War Offensive and Defense Mutual Assistance Alliance and Business and Technology Complementary Mutual Assistance Agreement", referred to as "Anti-Aggression Alliance', or 'Alliance'.
At present, the alliance has been planning for a long time, and the war zones are connected.
On the contrary, the alliance hastily responded to the battle passively, and most of them fought on their own. For example, in this naval battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to support each other.
The Tiandu faction's fleet must defend the west coast, while the Daluozong and Jiuyoumen's fleet must defend the east coast.
The only fleets that can be drawn out are Mingjiao and Xuanmingjiao fleets. But the fleets of both parties are in a bad situation. Adding up the two Holy Lands, the number of fleets is barely larger than that of the Free and Unfettered Faction.
However, the warships of the two factions have never had combat experience, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.
Then there is the fleet of Xuanzhen Sect. Because of the heavy damage suffered before, the fleet will now reach the level of the country of Shaoze. Combat power, etc., have yet to be verified.
In the Anti-Aggression Alliance, the one with the largest fleet is the Xianyin Sect. But Xianyinzong's battleship technology is a little worse than that of Xiaoyao faction and West Kunlun.
And according to our temporary intelligence, the alliance is trying to avoid naval battles and wants to win on land. Obviously, the alliance itself has no confidence in naval battles. "
Zhang Hao nodded slowly, thought for a while and Zhang Hao said: "Naval warfare is completely different from land warfare. It doesn't mean that whoever has the most powerful warships and the largest number of warships can win. Tactics and the quality of naval officers are also very important.
Although we want to remain neutral, we must be soberly aware that once the strategic alliance wins, they will definitely not let us go. In the long run, we need to support the anti-aggression alliance. "
"But we can't provide direct support!" Bai Yutang said. "Based on the current situation, unless we send warships to support, it will be difficult for the anti-aggression alliance to win. And once they lose the naval battle, they will be passively attacked. "
Zhang Hao smiled faintly, "Who said that support must be tangible? Can it be invisible? For example, tactics. We have already mastered a lot of eyeliners placed here by various holy places. We can use it.
For example, pass on our deduced strategies, etc., through these eyeliners. "
Only then did Bai Yutang nod his head slowly, his posture relaxed a lot, and he said jokingly: "Then, we need to make a good plan. It would be a shame if we failed after giving a strategic plan."
Zhang Hao continued to laugh and said: "In fact, there is no need to formulate too complicated tactics. If they are too complicated, they may not be able to implement them. I think what they need is the simplest and most effective one!"
Everyone frowned. Someone suggested, should we call in personnel from the navy to discuss it?
Zhang Hao said no need, and then gave a "simplest" strategy:
It's better to strike first, beat the master to death with random punches, and directly rush up to me, and launch the final battle before the strategic alliance reacts. A decisive battle with all your strength!
In the end, Zhang Hao concluded: "Simply put: you are at the peak from the beginning, and you will fight a decisive battle when you come up. There is no need for any temptations and so on!
Since the anti-aggression alliance lacks combat experience, it cannot give the enemy every opportunity to defeat and suppress morale. "
Xie Hongsheng, the representative of Xinglintang, said, "Since fighting, we always need a detailed plan. Where do we start? Once the situation changes, how should we respond?"
Zhang Hao waved his hand domineeringly: "I will provide a direction. The rest will be carried out by the Navy and the Strategic Staff Department."
Everyone: ...Mr. Zhang, you just said that you don't need it. Isn't this slap in the face too fast?
Well, joking aside, the task was soon handed over to the Navy Department, and the Strategic Staff. Even the army staff officer has been transferred.
In Zhang Hao's words, this naval battle is only an important part of an all-out war, not a separate one. Strategy must focus on the whole, and the navy and army are inseparable.
The strategic staff department of the Dayang Group has not been idle since the outbreak of the war. After receiving Zhang Hao's order, it only took half a day to formulate a complete battle plan.
This battle plan includes land, sea, surprise attacks by Huashen masters, and so on.
Maybe it's the so-called bystanders. Because Dayang Group has no interest entanglement, it can give a relatively perfect strategy from the side. Of course, it also benefited from the Dayang Group monitoring the communications of all parties through telegrams.
After the strategy was formulated, it was already noon the next day. During lunch, a few 'careless' staff officers drank in the open-air restaurant of Dayang Group; they discussed in a 'whispered voice' at the dinner table, and got drunk. Several documents and jade slips were dropped in the restaurant on the ground.
After lunchtime, everyone leaves and the cleaners are allowed in. Then, these dropped documents, even dirty documents contaminated by drinks and food, were quietly taken away by caring people.
Within an hour, these documents appeared in Mingjiao's 'office' in Dayang Group.
After reading the content, the ambassador shrugged to the cronies next to him, "This document should be real, it was given to us by Dayang Group. The eyeliner we arranged was discovered by Dayang Group long ago."
"Ah...then do you want to withdraw?"
"Don't withdraw. If you withdraw, what should Dayang Group do if you can't find the person to call. At present, it seems that he will not be in danger. That's it. This document, send it back by telegram immediately. In addition, send a master to use it immediately The flying boat escorted them back, there must be no mistakes."
That night, this document appeared on the desks of Mingjiao and the heads of all parties in the anti-aggression alliance.
