Ship transformation, the admiral goes to the military police to repent

"Before our large forces came to support us, the gap was still quite large. Now we have about 4200 ships and the navy has about 5000 ships."

"Moreover, a large number of their warships are newly built, and there is still a big gap between their strength and ours."

Bismarck replied calmly.

The difference in numbers made Vian feel relieved.

Chapter 268 Pre-war Plan

At least for now, it seems that the war situation is not very bad. In fact, according to normal combat, the navy has a little more than the KanColle Union except in terms of numbers.

The chances of victory were actually on Bismarck's side, but they were afraid of the series of consequences that a strong attack would bring, so they did not launch it.

And what does the large number of newly built ship girls of the navy mean? A large number of ship girls with low training levels, average ship equipment, and not very skilled in warship operation will join the battlefield.

Their strength is very weak, so the casualties of the Ship Girls Alliance were basically inflicted by the Navy in exchange for injuries.

In that case, Wei An also had an idea in his mind, at least he knew what to do.

"Right now, everyone is not sure about the exact position of the navy, right?"

Wei'an confirmed the problem again.

"Yes. If we launch a strong attack, we will suffer heavy casualties and fail to win the battle quickly because we don't have the ability to replenish our warships."

"So all we have to do is find them, right?"

"Yes, as long as they can find the area where the navy is stationed, they won't be able to escape."

After all, even if the navy wants to add more ship girls, the prerequisite is that they must be in a port area where they can build ship girls.

"Then I understand."

Wei An thought about it and nodded.

"Then may I ask, do you prefer to fight during the day? Or at night?"

Day and night don’t matter to his fleet, but it has a huge impact on other ordinary ship girls.

Except when they were traveling in large fleets, most of the time they were just blindfolded boats floating on the sea.

The impact of aircraft carriers is even more powerful.

The combat of surface warships is still two-dimensional, while the flight of aircraft is three-dimensional, and there are more uncontrollable factors.

Even in the previous night battle with the Eastern Navy, their carrier-based aircraft often hit their teammates, not to mention the KanColle Alliance.

It's all the same. In the chaos of fighting in the dark, it's easy to lose track of friend and foe and become a mess.

Bismarck and Akagi did not respond to Vian's words immediately. Instead, they looked at each other and nodded.

"What do you think, Admiral Wei'an? We just hope to get out of this predicament as soon as possible."

Bismarck said seriously.

"Is Lian Zhan acceptable? After all, we don't have any additional battleships, so we can only fight quickly and decisively."

"Yes, as long as we can eliminate the navy here, we will have more time to prepare for the deep sea."

This time Bismarck agreed without asking Akagi's opinion.

"Can you roughly confirm the number of carrier-based aircraft used by the Navy in each battle?"

Wei An looked towards Akagi.

"I don't know the exact number, but they have a little more fighter planes than we do now, probably around 2600, while we have 2450."

In a naval battle involving more than 9000 warships on both sides, the number of carrier-based aircraft on each side in each battle did not exceed 5000.

You can see how rare aircraft carriers are.

"understood."

Now that the aircraft carriers of the KanColle Union are at a slight disadvantage, Lexington can make up for the missing number if it wants.

And if the quality of the fighters themselves is taken into account, the number of aircraft carriers that Lexington can deal with will increase.

That would free up Saratoga to do other things.

And this time he will no longer rush into the battlefield randomly. He will have Bismarck and others to cooperate with him, and the battle cannot be as random as before.

The most important thing is that the more warships both sides deploy, the longer the battle will last and the lower the success rate of a sneak attack will be.

Since information within the KanColle Union can be spread, let alone the Navy.

If they couldn't contact the Eastern Navy, how could they not know that something had happened to them?

Can't you be more careful?

More importantly, since there are teammates to use, there is no need to risk your own fleet to raid the back row and decapitate.

Just defeat them head-on, and then use air power to control the sea as normal.

After all, a sneak attack under the cover of night is the act of a villain, and such an upright man would definitely not be the sixth.

The main reason is that although his warships can fight at night, it still has an impact on Lexington and the others. He doesn't want to face what happened to Yukikaze and the others in the last battle again.

He felt sorry for them when they were beaten.

He didn't want to let his girl go deep behind enemy lines and fight alone. At least before he became stronger, he didn't want Xuefeng and the others to get hurt again.

"Then we will provide 200 fighter jets to help you fight for air superiority. Is that enough? These are stronger fighter jets than the normal 200 carrier-based aircraft."

Wei An stared at Akagi.

"That's enough. We just have a small number of fighter planes, which makes it difficult to deal with the navy, but it's not like we can't defeat them."

"But you only have two aircraft carriers. Do you have so many carrier-based aircraft?"

Akagi looked at Saratoga acting coquettishly with Lexington with great interest.

She didn't know the details of Lexington, but she knew very well what Saratoga was like.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of them. If you can't defeat the navy, you can ask me for support during the war."

"That's not necessary. We won't lose to those aircraft carriers in the navy. I'm a legendary ship girl!"

"understood."

Wei An nodded in confirmation.

"As for the surface warships, my fleet will try its best to provide firepower support. How long it will take to defeat the navy depends on the advancement speed of your surface warships."

"The faster it goes, the slimmer the Navy's hopes become."

Vian said, looking at Bismarck.

"You have fallen into a misconception of thinking. You only think that the navy can build ship girls to consume you."

"But you forget that it takes time for the navy to build a ship girl, and it takes time to materialize the ship body."

"If they choose to provide continuous support, the number of warships they will send over a period of time will be similar."

"But if they choose to attack as a group, then the time you need to advance will be reduced."

"As long as the duration of the previous battle is reduced, the number of warships they can gather will be reduced."

"If we are fast enough, we may reach their gates. The number and quality of our warships will be our advantage."

"Can you bear the sacrifice? Fight a quick battle."

"So fast that their warships can't leave the command area."

What are the advantages of this alliance between the ship girls?

There are many highly trained and powerful warships, as well as legendary aircraft carrier girls headed by the J-Union.

Before coming here, Wei An had already briefly understood the legendary skills of Akagi and the others.

Akagi is a professional anti-aircraft ship girl.

Therefore, when Akagi gains air superiority, it will be difficult for the opponent's aircraft carrier to wrest it back.

Because her legendary skills are simple and crude, enhancing the combat performance of fighter jets.

The same fighter jet will only be stronger in her hands, but there is a vexing problem compared to other aircraft carrier girls.

Fighter jets are easy to find, but powerful fighter jets are hard to find.

Chapter 269: Stinky Fox! Watch out!

So in this situation, when facing Akagi, the enemy needs to deploy more aircraft carriers to target her.

Otherwise, what awaits them is that the location of the warship will be discovered and the carrier-based aircraft will not be able to take off.

During this period of battle, Akagi was held down by the navy, and she was the first to be exhausted in every battle.

“What kind of sacrifice is required?”

Bismarck looked at Vian with a heavy heart.

"Prevent the navy's surface warships from returning for reinforcement until our aircraft carriers report victory."

"We must hold them back before that."

"Also, the J-Union's aircraft carriers should be sent to the front lines if necessary to ensure that they can quickly relaunch their carrier-based aircraft and engage in combat."

"It may cause the aircraft carrier to suffer more damage, and many surface ships will also suffer unnecessary damage."

Wei An patiently answered their questions.

"So, in this case, we can defeat the navy?"

Bismarck was heartbroken by the ship girl's sacrifice, but she knew that what was more important now was victory and preventing more sacrifices.

"Aren't there examples of actual combat? In the joint assessment, we used air to control the sea, which is my strong point. I think Miss Akagi should understand this well."

"Just treat the navy the same way you treated the J-Union commander. Fight a stalemate on the surface, go all out in the air, and then quickly take control of the enemy's aircraft carriers."

"While controlling the aircraft carrier, the surface ships will quickly attack. As long as you fight fast enough, we may not even have to wait until the next day."

"As long as there is no aircraft carrier, the navy is just a replica of the admiral of the J-Union Department. Just wait to be beaten."

Vian's words moved Bismarck and the others, but they still couldn't get rid of their worries.

"I forgot to mention that the only carrier girl in our J-Union with bombing capability is Kaga, the others are all fighters, and the G-Union is similar."

"So if they want to bomb, Kaga is the only one who can pose a threat to the Navy's aircraft carriers, but after all, there is such a large span of sea, the risk is too high."

Akagi said somewhat helplessly.

"Just leave these to me. As long as you can gain air superiority and detect the position of the navy, leave the bombing to us. We are professionals in this field."

"But don't you already have to support 200 fighters to ensure our air superiority? Do you have other aircraft carriers?"

Akagi said doubtfully.

"Huh? Didn't I say my aircraft carrier can only accommodate 200 fighters?"

"Is not it?"

Akagi questioned.

“Is that so?!”

"But it's outrageous for you to launch 200 fighter jets from two aircraft carriers!"

"Ah, the 200 fighter planes are only the Lexington that came to support you. Saratoga is not included."

Wei An said "modestly".

"?"

"?"

"?"

In the conference room, small question marks appeared on the heads of all the other ship girls except Wei'an.

What outrageous shit is Wei'an talking about?

What do you mean it's only supported by Lexington?

One aircraft carrier supports 200 fighter jets?

What kind of thing could only happen in a dream?

Although most of the ship girls know that Wei’an’s aircraft carrier is relatively large, no matter how big it is, it still has to be reasonable, right?
