Chapter 709: Hard Power
South Dakota (BB-49) placed her hands on the electronic sand table and lowered her head to look at the screen. The Oni Samurai and her deep-sea fleet were located in the upper right corner of the screen, the ship's headquarters was in the upper right corner of the screen, and the naval base was in the middle of the screen.
"The second phase of the fleet decisive battle will begin this afternoon." South Dakota (BB-49) said, "You should have made a battle plan."
"Yes." Su Xia revealed their battle plan in full.
"The large fleet draws firepower to cover the submarine fleet's sneak attack?" South Dakota (BB-49) said, "Isn't it a bit too risky ?"
South Dakota (BB-49) paused for a moment and said, "Can I ask why you adopted this combat plan?"
"How?" Su Xia paused and said, "It was mainly in the first phase of the fleet decisive battle that we adopted the battle plan I just mentioned, and the effect was very good."
"This is Fleet Battle 2," said South Dakota (BB-49), " not a remake of Fleet Battle 1."
"Even if this is the second phase of the fleet decisive battle, not a remake of the first phase," Su Xia leaned on the electronic sand table, "it is still a fleet decisive battle."
"Why are they both called fleet decisive battles?" South Dakota (BB-49) said, "Oni Samurai and Seeadler are the Deep Sea Hawk. Like the Deep Sea Hawk, she comes from the depths of the ocean. The way she sailed all the way here to gather the deep sea fleet and accumulate strength is the same as the Deep Sea Hawk. It's all fleet decisive battle mode."
"You just said that it's a fleet decisive battle mode." Su Xia said, "If that's the case, then we can use a method to deal with it."
"Do you have any intelligence on the deep-sea fleet?" South Dakota (BB-49) asked. The purpose of her trip was to help the garrison formulate a battle plan. Of course, she would question an unreliable battle plan. "What if the entire route is filled with anti-submarine fleets? Your submarine fleet would just be going to die."
"There is no intelligence." Su Xia said, "It is precisely because there is no intelligence that we decided to use this method."
Su Xia is no longer that fake admiral, and certainly not an excellent admiral. In the past, he knew nothing and could only listen and dared not interrupt. Now he knows everything and he has his own persistence.
"You said what if the whole route is full of anti-submarine fleets... You didn't have any intelligence saying that the whole route is full of anti-submarine fleets." Su Xia said, "I also said that if there is no anti-submarine fleet along the way, we can attack the Oni Samurai directly and defeat her easily, then we will make a lot of money. I don't know how much resources we can save by relying solely on the submarine fleet to sneak attack and deal with the Oni Samurai."
South Dakota (BB-49) looked at Su Xia. Su Xia was not willing to be outdone. He was now an admiral who could take responsibility. The two looked at each other for a long time.
"Since we don't know anything, there is no intelligence indicating that the whole route was anti-submarine, nor is there intelligence indicating that there was no anti-submarine." Su Xia said, "Give it a try. If it succeeds, that's the best. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as gathering intelligence. It's nothing more than losing some repair resources."
"Use a large fleet to attract firepower, and then cover the submarine fleet's sneak attack..." Su Xia said, "Compared to the loss of failure, the reward of success is really too great, it is worth a try."
"I think all combat plans should be based on the ship girl." South Dakota (BB-49), "The ship girl should not be put at risk."
"Taking action means taking risks." Su Xia said seriously, "There is no such thing as risk-free. We can't give up because of fear."
"I don't have the idea of putting my ship girl at risk." Su Xia said, "I definitely care about my ship girl more than you do. She is my ship girl."
"You keep saying that you care about your shipgirl..." South Dakota (BB-49) said, "You should know that shipgirls can also sink. The reason why no shipgirls have ever sunk is that the garrison is relatively close to the battlefield. Even if a shipgirl loses her power, she can still return to the garrison under everyone's cover."
To this day, the deep sea is still the territory of the deep sea ship girls, because people have no way to send fleets to the deep sea. People can only build garrisons step by step, and the fleet cannot be too far away from the garrison, and take back the sea step by step.
"You should know how powerless submarines are against anti-submarine warfare." South Dakota (BB-49) said, "As long as you encounter an anti-submarine warfare, your submarine fleet may be in danger."
"You must be joking." Su Xia said, "My fish are really good. Although they didn't evade at a large angle, they were all submarines with a training level of 110."
"Even so, even if it's a 100% submarine," South Dakota (BB-49) said unconvinced, "it's not 100% guaranteed to dodge, there's still a high chance of getting hurt."
"Yeah." Su Xia nodded. Unlike those battleships, which have thick and durable armor, submarines are very powerless against anti-submarine attacks. Even full-level submarines can easily be damaged when encountering a large number of anti-submarine attacks and can be easily broken.
"What if, I mean what if," South Dakota (BB-49) said, "What if we encounter danger?"
"You have already sent out the large fleet to attract firepower. If the submarine fleet is in danger..." South Dakota (BB-49) said, "Do you still have spare forces to support and cover your submarine fleet?"
"Why not?" Su Xia said as a matter of course, "Is it not enough for me to send out 20 fleets to attract firepower? I still have more than a dozen fleets responsible for covering support. Isn't that enough?"
"I know you have a lot of shipgirls." South Dakota (BB-49) certainly didn't come here without any preparation. She thought she knew this garrison quite well. It was a garrison with hundreds of shipgirls. "It's not enough to have shipgirls. You also need training and equipment."
"Who told you that you don't have any training or equipment?" Su Xia said, "The ship girls I formed the fleet with are at least 90 or 100 training levels, MK6 with Type 91 armor-piercing shells, all-gold carrier-based aircraft... destroyers have sonar, projectors, or gold torpedoes, gold anti-aircraft weapons, etc... and they are all modified ship girls."
"Uh..." South Dakota (BB-49) was stunned, "Where do you get so many highly trained ship girls?"
"I read your report." South Dakota (BB-49) said, "Aren't there only a few ship girls that your garrison often attacks?"
"Then I don't know. That's the problem of your KanColle headquarters." Su Xia said, "I only have so many highly trained KanColles."
"Okay." South Dakota (BB-49) had nothing to say.
"Besides that," Su Xia said, "you may not know that I have nearly a hundred damage control teams."
"Damage management?" South Dakota (BB-49) asked, "Even if you perfectly destroyed the deep-sea flagship, the Ship Girls Headquarters can only give you a damage control team as a reward?"
Su Xia thought about how to obtain the Damage Control Team under normal circumstances in the game. In the activities that reward based on merit, the Damage Control Team requires the highest merit, which is more difficult to obtain than those equipment and ship girls.
"Where do you get so many damage control teams?" South Dakota (BB- 49) couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know what to say." Su Xia didn't know how to explain the problem of the damage control team that can be purchased with diamonds in the game. "Anyway, I have so many."
South Dakota (BB-49) opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
Ibuki is here. She used to work at the KanColle Headquarters and was a familiar colleague of South Dakota (BB-49).
"South Dakota," Ibuki said. "You may be familiar with sandbox battles, but you don't understand tutelary forts."
Ibuki glanced at Suxia.
"You laugh at him for not knowing how to formulate a battle plan, and he laughs at you for not knowing how to use hard power."
