As for whether to go to the Northeast Ocean, it is not yet certain, so there is no need to make a decision. After all, turn north on the evening of the 5th, and you will have to enter the Northeast Ocean at the early morning of the 7th. If you consider fuel consumption, you do not plan to replenish fuel in the Northeast Ocean. You can sail at an economic speed of 16 knots and you will not be able to enter the Northeast Ocean through the Hovay Islands as early as the afternoon of the 7th.

In the past two days, anything could happen.

In essence, Bai Huawei still doesn't want to go north.

It’s not that it’s because it’s not that it’s not very meaningful to go to the Northeast Ocean to find the Newland Fleet to fight, at least it’s not necessary at the military level.

Even if you defeat or even annihilate the Newland fleet, what can you do?

The Aliu Islands and the Hovay Islands have been bombed, and the large military bases are both paralyzed, and the Imperial Navy is temporarily unable to launch combat operations to attack Newland's homeland. Therefore, even if the sea control power is seized, it will only maintain the status quo. The 41st Special Mixed Fleet can also maintain the status quo.

If that's the case, why take risks?

In addition, this "status" will last for a long time.

It will take several months to get Zhenbao Port back into operation, repair the infrastructure that was destroyed during the bombing, and then complete the deployment.

As for other aspects, such as the political impact caused by the loss of the Aliu Islands, Bai Huawei does not need to consider it.

In fact, when making this arrangement, Bai Huawei made up his mind. Unless the Navy Command directly ordered, he would continue to move south of the Howai Islands, and at most sail to the waters near the Howai Islands, and he would look like he could enter the Northeast Ocean at any time.

Ultimately, time is on the side of the Imperial Navy.

Don’t forget that the Imperial Navy has a total of 15 active aircraft carriers, only 9 are in deployment, and the other 6 are either under maintenance or maintenance. Three of them will definitely return to the battle sequence at the end of the year, and the other three will also be able to return to the team in the first half of next year.

The key is that in the port of the empire, there are more than a dozen large aircraft carriers in stock, of which several are in good condition, and can be delivered within the year.

By the latest to the beginning of next year, the Imperial Navy will be able to add two new three-aircraft aircraft carrier battle groups.
