Lighthouse Country, Washington, Naval Operations Department.
Admiral Harold Stark, the Chief of Naval Operations of Lighthouse Country, is discussing the next battle with Admiral Nimitz, the Fleet Commander.
"General, we have to admit that the Russians are too strong. We are already at a complete disadvantage in the battle in the Bahamas. Moreover, as the Russian air force invests more and more power in the Bahamas, it is difficult for us to reverse the situation.
However, if the Russians really gain a foothold in the Bahamas, and even deploy their main combat forces there, then the Empire will face a great threat. We must do everything we can to stop the Russians, and it is best to retake the Bahamas. In this way, our safety can be guaranteed!"
Admiral Harold Stark said.
Admiral Nimitz nodded repeatedly, agreeing with this point of view.
"The Russians are indeed too strong. The vast Atlantic Ocean is our important protective force. It can greatly restrict the Russian military force projection. If the Russians overcome this weakness. Then, it will be very difficult for us to resist the Russian attack. Even in the next war, we are very likely to lose!" Admiral Nimitz said.
The Russian Empire is huge, well-equipped, and has a strong combat effectiveness. It can be called the world’s number one army. Even though the Lighthouse Country Army has been continuously expanded and equipped with a large number of advanced weapons. However, in the end, it will definitely not be a match for the Russians.
The only way is to prevent the Russians from landing on the North American continent.
If the Russians cannot land on the North American continent. Then, this problem will naturally be solved well.
"Yes, General. We must find a way to prevent the Russians from gaining a foothold around the North American continent, and even more so, to prevent them from landing on the North American continent. Otherwise, I’m afraid we will be finished. The naval fleet will have a very difficult task in the next battle. You are responsible for defeating the Russian aircraft carrier formation. The Army Air Force and the shore-based aviation forces will do their best to hold back the Russian air force deployed in the Bahamas. But it depends on you next." Admiral Harold Stark said.
Admiral Nimitz’s expression suddenly became serious. He knew very well how powerful the opponent he was facing was.
Even though the current Lighthouse Navy is amazing. However, compared with the Russian Empire Navy, there is still a big gap. It is even more difficult to complete this task.
However, the current Lighthouse Country has indeed been forced into a corner, and they have no other way. Therefore, they must participate in the next combat operations. And it is best to win. In this way, it can ensure that the Lighthouse Country will not be defeated in this battle.
"Mr. Minister, the fleet will go all out. We will do our best to defeat the Russians!" Admiral Nimitz said.
He knew very well that the next battle would be very important to the Lighthouse Country.How important is the word.
Even, this is directly related to the life and death of the Lighthouse Country. Therefore, they naturally have to do their best to defeat the Russians.
Not only that, if the Lighthouse Country Navy fleet fails, they may be destroyed by the Russian Empire Navy in the battle. This is also absolutely unacceptable to them.
Admiral Harold Stark nodded: "Although the Russians are very powerful. However, if we go all out, we still have a good chance of winning. The Russians want to defeat us, which is simply a delusion."
"Yes, Mr. Minister! We are not made of mud." Admiral Nimitz echoed.
Admiral Nimitz has decided that in the next battle, the Lighthouse Country Navy will go all out. All 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers and 24 Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers, as well as 17 battleships, will be dispatched. Strive to defeat the Russian Empire Navy in one fell swoop in the next war and reverse the entire situation.
The Navy, Army Air Force and Marine Corps of the Lighthouse Country quickly discussed and worked out a detailed combat plan.
In order to mobilize enough forces to deal with the Russians, the Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation forces of the Lighthouse Country even suspended their attack on the Bahamas. This also allowed the Russian Empire Air Force to take this opportunity to send more fighters to the Bahamas.
Of course, the strange calmness of the Lighthouse people also attracted the attention of the Russian Empire.
On the battleship Peter II, the flagship of the Russian Empire Navy, the fleet commander Marshal Isakov and the chief of staff Lieutenant General Kasatolov were guessing the intentions of the Lighthouse people.
"’Commander, it has been three days. The Lighthouse people have not taken any other actions except sending reconnaissance planes to investigate the Bahamas. It seems that they are accumulating strength." Salo said. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Marshal Isakov nodded: "Our reconnaissance planes also found that the Lighthouse people are mobilizing aircraft to the Florida Peninsula and the coastal airports in the southeast of the Lighthouse Country. The Lighthouse people know very well what the consequences will be if the Bahamas are completely controlled by us and we gain a foothold here. Therefore, they will never give up. They should be accumulating strength. Next, once the Lighthouse people launch an attack, it is very likely to be a larger-scale attack. Therefore, we must be prepared!"
"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Kasatolov replied.
"By the way, how many fighters does the Air Force have deployed in the Bahamas?" Marshal Isakov asked.
"Commander, (Wang Zhaozhao) Thanks to the fact that the Lighthouse people did not attack the Bahamas in the past few days, the Air Force’s aircraft transport ships can safely dock. Over the past few days, the number of fighter jets deployed by the Air Force in the Bahamas has exceeded one thousand. In addition, there are Air Force aircraft transport ships arriving every day, and this number is still increasing.The number of aircraft in the Bahamas will exceed 1,500, or even 2,000. At that time, we will no longer have to stay around the Bahamas. "Lieutenant General Kasatolov said.
Marshal Isakov nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Air Force can support the operations in the Bahamas on its own, then the Navy can temporarily withdraw from the battle and take a good rest. During this period of time, the losses of the Navy’s carrier-based aircraft units have been quite astonishing.
