There is a huge chart in the war room, which covers almost the entire east coast of North America, from the southernmost Florida to the remote island of Newfoundland.

The Bermuda Archipelago hangs lonely overseas, with a bright red fan-shaped frame centered on it, covering the vast coast from Cape Sable on the Florida Peninsula to the town of Montauk on Long Island, New York.

Another fan-shaped frame is connected to it, starting from Montauk, covering the entire Canada and the rest of the east coast of the United States.

This is the patrol range of the two formations of the Continental Squadron of the New Continental Fleet of the Royal British Navy.

The first formation is based in Hamilton, leading New York to the south, and the second formation is based in Chanel Basque, Newfoundland, and leading the north of New York.

Rear Admiral Shaq Drake is the admiral of this squadron and the commander-in-chief of the powerful first formation.

Lorraine was familiar with Shaq, and even dared to boast that he was the person most familiar with Shaq's command characteristics and war thinking in the world. Hundreds of operations on the map brought the two brothers not only mutual progress, but also a deep understanding of each other.

But now the enemy is bright and I am dark!

In the fan-shaped frame of the first formation, six strange circles are drawn, three red and three black.

The six perfect circles occupy the entire position from Grand Bahama Island to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, which is close to or far from the mainland, and the chess piece representing the Jackdaw is at the center of the northernmost perfect circle.

Lorraine picked up the teaching stick.

"Shaq's fleet warfare thinking is based on a special kind of defensive thinking, that is, the circular formation co-defense tactics you have seen."

"In this tactic, the fleet will be divided into small formations of different sizes, arranged in a circular trajectory in a clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise, and so on manner."

"Each route trajectory has one to three observation points. Within a limited time, the lower-level trajectory must observe the upper-level trajectory before it is allowed to start the second round of patrol. The ship searched in the opposite direction and joined the battle with reinforcements."

"The route is limited, the speed is limited, and the handover is limited! Because of the overly complicated basic structure, Shaq’s circular formation defense tactics are regarded as blunt, rigid, untimely, and lack of initiative in the eyes of the Royal Navy staff. This has led to the Admiralty’s Shaq’s commanding ability has not been evaluated highly."

"but!"

Lorraine pushed the Jackdaw chess piece all the way south until it coincided with a certain arc of the southernmost circle.

"Assuming that our understanding of Shaq's tactical thinking is not as good as that of the Admiralty staff who have read his three related papers, what happens when the Jackdaw collides with Patrol Formation No. 1 at this point?"

"It will exchange fire."

Bell took the conversation, fished out more pieces from the small box on the side, and placed three pieces around the Jackdaw.

"The number of a patrol formation is between two and four. If three ships are selected, the enemy found by the patrol circle will be engaged in battle. If you can't quickly defeat the enemy in front of you..."

"The second patrol formation will ask for reinforcements from the enemy." Bell placed three more chess pieces, and the Jackdaw was a one-to-six. "Then number three, number four, number five..."

Seeing the densely packed chess pieces on the opposite side of the Jackdaw, Lorraine swept all the chess pieces to the ground.

"This is the basic principle of Shaq's tactics. The tactical structure is static, but the tactical defense is dynamic. It is the opposite of the active defense and static shelling of the world's mainstream powers."

"The invading enemy is often confused by the few enemies at the beginning. But the length of engagement in a standard encounter is often more than two hours. Shaq's orders to his subordinates are mainly delayed, defensive counterattack, and when the enemy reacts, Shaq It has turned the tide of the battle and has steadily risen from the weaker side to the dominant side or even the strong side."

Bell interrupted again: "Our teacher Sir Layton referred to Shaq Drake as an anaconda in the Royal Navy. The scary thing about him is that circular defense is a conspiracy and an upright tactic. "

"Hide the lower-level formations in the hinterland, and let the higher-level formations break into the enemy's position. The enemy will be delayed and reinforcements.

"His tactics are mature. Getting caught in it is like being killed by an anaconda. Apart from killing a snake to escape, there will be no other means."

Bell took a long breath and raised his head to admire everyone's thoughts.

Yacharin’s military foundation is the most solid, so his brows are furrowed the tightest, followed by the half-hearted Pierce and the elite pirate Katrina. The ones who can understand a little bit are Karen and Wang Ye, and the ones who don’t care at all, Henna. , Noah, Carmen and Daniel.

After a long silence, Karen swallowed hard.

"Since this tactic is incomprehensible, why didn't we encounter any decent obstacles besides being careful? The Jackdaw has even been moored in this sea for several hours, and has not been discovered by that defensive tactic... …"

Bell rolled his eyes unhappily: "Because in this world, only the freak Lorraine is special."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.

Lorraine spread his hands with enthusiasm: "You should all know the relationship between Shaq and I. Some small grievances have nothing to do with today, but before the grievances happened, our relationship was actually very good."

"Huh?!" Except for a few people such as Hina and Bell, the surprise on everyone's faces was even heavier.

"There is nothing to fuss about~lightnovelpub.net~ Father is kind, son is filial, we were model brothers when my father was still alive, and many of his circular tactics are my suggestions. Of course, his creativity and creation are all his own. Yes, there is no doubt about it."

"I helped him perfect the circular tactics, and discussed with him the biggest flaws of the tactics. It is still the characteristics of the python. This tactic can only be changed after being activated by the invader, just like if the python cannot be restrained. Own opponent, after all, is just a large pile of non-venomous and speedless snake meat."

Acharin can hardly say: "This is also a defect?"

"As a hypothetical regional defense based on the invasion of an enemy country, this is really not a defect. After all, no matter what kind of country will allow one or two fast ships to initiate an invasion independently, this is of no use except to laugh at it."

"But we are different. The Viper is all we have. It is dexterous, high-speed, easy to advance and retreat, and is faster than the fastest Brig in the warship under the same wind conditions."

"Our observation distance is more than 20 kilometers, and the defensive formation can't do anything for us, can't catch up, can't shut it down."

"Even, I only observed three circles to calculate the specific trajectories of the other three circles. Karen said that the Jackdaw has been in this sea area for a long time, which shows that my calculations are correct, so I can hide in. The center of the sixth circle is hidden in the blind spot of the observation of the entire formation."

"In short, the tactics that Shaq is proud of are useless to us. On this smuggling line, we have only one difficulty..."

The teaching stick pushed forward, slowly, slowly, and firmly pressed at a point.

"The gap between Cape Charles and Cape Henry, the large shells of Algonquin, the treasures of Virginia and Maryland, that is... this section of the Chesapeake Bay mouth, which is only 19 kilometers wide, is our ghost gate."
