Chapter 1146: Strategy vs Tactics

Off London, the brutal battle continues. In order to intercept the landing of the coalition forces, the British army broke out with 12 points of potential.
Behind him is London, the British army has no way to retreat, and the British Empire will be subjugated if it does not work hard.
In a hundred years of hegemony, the British arrogance has already reached its peak, how can they tolerate defeat. Even in the face of the entire European continent, the British are also unwilling to admit defeat.
The British army is fighting, and the coalition forces also have reasons to fight. In the past years, the British have drawn too much hatred, and now there are grudges and grievances, and morale is equally as good.
The air battle is fiercely unfolding, and dumplings fall from time to time in the sky. Admiral Aldo von Donati, the command of the flagship of the USS Great, was staring at the sea indifferently.
The Royal Navy is still on its way, and the battle belonging to the Navy has not yet arrived. Except for demining, hitting submarines is nothing challenging.
As for the battle in the sky, the navy simply cannot participate in it. Although the Navy is equipped with the most advanced air defense firepower of this era, this is still the case.
The low hit rate is a small problem. The key is that the aircraft is moving too fast, and the air force is fighting together, and the probability of shooting down their own fighters and enemy aircraft is as high as possible.
Now the coalition air force clearly has the upper hand, and naturally there is no need for this kind of desperate play regardless of the enemy and us.
In the distance, another British Air Force formation appeared in the sky. The battle has continued to the present, and the two sides have not only changed a wave of fighters, the battlefield is at a disadvantage, and the British reinforcements cannot be normal.
The coalition has formed a formation to meet the enemy. Closer, closer, seeing that the two sides are about to engage in battle, suddenly the British formation split up half of the fighters, leaving the brigade and rushing towards the combined fleet.
They are all high-speed fighters participating in the battle, and the unresponsive bombers come up to give heads. Even if he was lucky enough to rush over and throw a few bombs, there would still be no return or the business would be at a loss.
The fighter jets approached the navy, and even though they couldn't understand what the enemy was going to do, the coalition air force chose to intercept it the first time.
It's a pity that it's still too late, and the British Air Force has been entangled. Immediately afterwards, I saw the British formation leaving the main force and plunged towards the navy below.
A destroyer was unfortunately hit by three fighters. The warship was torn apart in the violent explosion, and the people and the ship saw God together.
This was just the beginning. With the beginning of the British suicide attacks, the coalition fleet below continued to hear loud noises.
Even if the fleet's air defense firepower is already fully deployed, it still looks pale and weak in the face of a bunch of desperate enemies.
Unless it hits the key and smashes the enemy plane into pieces in the air, otherwise, even if it is hit, it will still be headed down.
Witnessing a battleship sinking under an enemy's suicide attack, Admiral Aldo's heart was bleeding.
I never dreamed that the British would fight like this, and this is not the British Empire.
In fact, in the face of such suicide attacks, even if you are prepared in advance, it will not play much role.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the enemy's hit rate is not high. In many cases, multiple fighters hit the same target, hundreds of fighters rushed down, and a total of three warships and two troop carriers were taken away.
After all, it is a suicide attack, coming faster and going faster. From launching the attack to the end, it took only ten minutes.
Looking at a messy battlefield, Admiral Aldor withdrew his grief and ordered: "Quickly rescue the drowning personnel, and then prepare to retreat."
It was a feint, there was no need to smash the enemy. Looking at the troop carrier that followed, there weren't many people on it.
Forcibly landed in London before completely killing the enemy's main navy and air force. That was definitely a sign of iron.
As soon as the voice fell, a military staff hurried in.
"Your Excellency, the enemy fleet is found to the west. It is approaching us at full speed. It is now about 20 nautical miles away from us."
After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Admiral Aldor said: "The order is passed on, and the injured warships, troop carriers, and supply ships will retreat first, and the remaining warships will be left to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water.
Power generation to the headquarters shows the dilemma we are facing, and asks for air force fire support. All battleships are ready for battle..."
It's not that the fleet is not very vigilant, but the main reason is that it is only one hundred and eighty nautical miles away from the mainland. If you find an enemy, you will run away without time.
Everyone's warships have similar performance. There is still a distance of 20 nautical miles. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the enemy to catch up in a hundred and eighty nautical miles.
However, the plan has not changed fast. No one knows that the enemy will engage in suicide attacks, let alone predict that the losses will be so heavy.
Now it takes time to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water. After delaying these efforts, the enemy's fast warships have been able to catch up.
If the fleet is not damaged, Aldor will definitely not persuade him. After the big deal, both sides were hurt and everyone went back to lick the wound.
However, three warships have just been lost, and many more warships have been damaged. In particular, the sunken warships also include a super battleship. The strength of the fleet has been greatly damaged.
Of course, it's not that the strength is at a disadvantage. If there is a disparity in strength, Admiral Aldor would have ordered the soldiers to run away.
Once you have succeeded, you will always have to sacrifice on the battlefield, and anyone can give up when necessary.
Obviously no step has been reached now, the times are different, and the splendor belonging to the cannon giant bloomed in the Battle of the English Channel.
Now is the transition period, and the future is the era of the air force. Whoever controls the sky will control the next era.
...
In London, before it had time to celebrate the success of the sneak attack, the bad news about the fall of Greer spread.
"At all costs, to regain Greer in the shortest time, the speed must be fast!"
Prime Minister Campbell said in a nearly roaring tone.
Logically speaking, a small town with no military or economic value will be lost if it is lost.
For the defense of England, it has no effect at all. Even if the enemy occupied the area and there was no suitable port, the army could not land.
But politics never makes sense. With a wealth of experience in political struggle, Campbell is sure to take down the Austrians in the small town of Greer, and will announce the successful landing to the outside world soon.
Ordinary people don't care whether the small town of Glyle has military value, anyway, it has gained a foothold in the British Isles, and that is the successful landing.
Then, everyone will use their own knowledge to conclude that the British Empire is about to cool down.
Once public opinion boils, Britain will really be embarrassed and embarrassed on all sides.
Foreign Secretary Adam added: "The enemy had planned for a long time, and now the news should have spread.
The next step is verification by the governments of various countries, and we must take back Greer before everyone verifies the news.
otherwise……"
I don’t need to say the rest, everyone knows that the consequences are serious.
Once it is determined that the coalition forces have successfully landed, the allies of the British Empire will scramble to jump off the ship. Everyone is smart and knows that cutting meat stops loss, and the earlier you cut, the smaller the loss.
Sharing joys and sorrows, sharing life and death, that is the content of drama, these things have never been popular in real politics.
Verification message?
Too high depends on everyone's ideological consciousness. Even in the 21st century, when information is highly developed, a rumor can deceive a group of people, let alone these days.
Besides, this is not a rumor. The coalition forces have really completed a landing.
Even if the British army drove the enemy into the sea, the political influence was still caused. Politicians will make up for themselves:
"Since the coalition has landed once, it will be able to land a second time. As the defensive side, it is unable to launch a strong counterattack. It is only a matter of time before they fall."
Originally, the Ocean Alliance was on the verge of disintegration. With this wave of excitement, unless God is allowed to act in person, it may be able to comfort everyone.
The pressure was all over, the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of Military Affairs looked at each other and bitterly accepted this "giant pit" mission.
...
The British government was bleak, and the atmosphere in the Vienna Palace was not much better. The landing plan was completed, but the fleet suffered heavy losses in the feint attack.
Without a super battleship, Franz felt the pain, not to mention the others.
But in Franz's view, these losses are worthwhile. The sinking of a super battleship in exchange for the success of the landing is completely value for money.
Tactics and strategy have never been equal. The successful landing means that the opportunity to disintegrate the Ocean Alliance has emerged.
The British Empire without wings of allies is a tiger without a catch. Although the mouth is good, it loses the ability to hunt, and sooner or later will be starved to death and trapped to death.
After a little thought, Franz decisively gave up the responsibility. Who knows that the British will not play cards according to the routine, this is clearly not to say...
"Don't worry too much. The death squad is easy to find, but the pilots are difficult to train. There are even fewer pilots who are willing to act as a death squad.
This suicide attack by flying a plane is destined to be impossible to continue. It is estimated that there is only such a wave, even if there are others, it is difficult to scale.
What's the situation in the small town of Greer? How long can our landing troops stay there? "
It's not that Franz looks down on the British. Britain really does not have such a cultural tradition of "killing one's body and becoming a benevolent". It is already record-breaking to be able to produce a death squad pilot, and no amount of it is realistic.
If it were really easy to get, the fighters that participated in the attack during the day would be different.
If the British assembled a death squad of three to five thousand pilots in one go, one wave would be able to destroy the combined fleet.
This is obviously impossible. If you change to a Japanese, it may be possible to get it together. But it also takes a certain amount of time to do ideological work, after all, only a few have such a fearless spirit.
Secretary of the Army Feslav: "Glyle's terrain is complex, and it is inherently unsuitable for large corps operations. This is very beneficial to our next defensive operations.
At present, we have invested an airborne regiment and an infantry regiment in Greer, and we will determine whether to continue to increase troops according to the actual situation.
Unless the enemy can block the sea and air at the same time, otherwise they would never want to take Glorious from us! "
This is good for an army power. Once the nail is laid, it is difficult to remove it if the back-up is unblocked.
Moreover, Greer was originally a landing point carefully selected by the military. It was considered in advance that the enemy would counterattack, and this deliberately selected the small town of Greer that was not conducive to the development of the large corps.
If you can't take advantage of your military strength, you will fight combat power. If this cannot be maintained, the Shinra Army will be embarrassed to gain a foothold in the world.
