After discussing with the generals, Gao Huan formulated a combat plan that first west and then east.

Gan Chao was preparing to defeat the Allied forces first, but Gan Chao's army could enter India, but it was a bit difficult to transport supplies to the Indian Ocean.

After more than ten years of development, the navy of Ganchao has become the overlord of East Asia, but it is still difficult for the navy to seize the sea control power of the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the same time.

In order to support Yinzhou, Gao Huan ordered the formation of the Eastern Pacific Fleet and successively dispatched a number of main warships, but there were not many warships from the three main fleets of the local area.

However, as long as Gan Chao controls the sea control power of the Eastern Pacific and holds Malacca, the Allied warships cannot threaten Gan Chao near the sea, so the three major fleets still played fifteen warships to form the Indian Ocean fleet.

At the port of Malacca, ten Luzon warships were led by water corpses and entered the berth.

At this time, the flagship of the Luzon fleet, Wei Qing, stopped at the dock, and Zheng Sen got off the ship.

"Criminal!" Gu San led a group of naval generals and saluted.

The Luzon State followed the footsteps of Gan Chao in military affairs. In recent years, the army has also carried out reforms in all aspects. Zheng Sen replied with a greeting, and the two sides exchanged a few greetings, and then went to the Dagan Indian Ocean Navy Command together.

At the commander's office, Huang Fei led Zheng Cai and others to wait for a long time. When he saw Zheng Sen and his group, he smiled and walked forward from a distance, "Haha, prince, I'm waiting for you!"

After the Allies attacked Kolkata and Malacca, their fleets began to hunt down Ganchao and all the merchant ships of Ganchao vassal states in the Indian Ocean.

Britain and France also learned from the lessons of Spain in Yinzhou. The Spanish were about to eliminate the power of Ganchao in Yinzhou, but unfortunately they mistakenly thought that Japan was the target of cooperation, which led to loopholes in the blockade. Ganchao used the banner of Japan to send a large number of reinforcements and supplies to Xinshang Company.

When the Spaniards reacted, it was too late.

At this time, the Ganchao East Indian Ocean fleet frequently moved on the west coast of Yinzhou, and the Spaniards could no longer completely block the west coast.

Therefore, as soon as the British and French fleets came up, they launched indiscriminate attacks on Ganchao and their vassal states.

Before Ganchao formed the Indian Ocean fleet, it was the fleet of Luzon in the Indian Ocean, and then it dealt with the British and French joint fleet.

Britain and France provoked war in the Indian Ocean, which not only damaged the interests of Gan Dynasty, but also destroyed Luzon's trade routes and the expansion of East Africa.

After Zheng Sen and Huang Feike spoke a few words, they entered the lobby where the sand table was placed together.

After seeing Gao Huan's grand dragon cave, the generals of the Gan Army also liked to set up a command center for themselves.

This is also the increasingly professional military service. When fighting a battle, it is not only the commander-in-chief’s decision-making, but also the subordinates from various aspects such as staff, intelligence, military supplies, etc., to assist the commander-in-chief’s decision-making and help the commander-in-chief formulate a complete combat plan.

Zheng Sen entered Huang Fei's command post and saw a large sand table in the middle, surrounded by staff officers in military uniforms, sorting out various information, and his eyes lit up.

"Criminal! I am going to be straight to the point!" After arriving at the command post, Huang Fei said directly: "The imperial army has gathered in Yunnan and will not take long to enter India. Your Majesty gave me the task to seize the sea control power in the East Indian Ocean before the army enters India. This is related to the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops. Time is tight and the task is heavy. I want to ask you for your opinion."

Zheng Sen frowned, "How many months does the imperial court send troops?"

"The Kolkata fights fiercely and may not be able to defend it anymore." Huang Fei said in a deep voice: "The weather in India is hot. Considering the weather, the imperial court will probably sworn in Yunnan at the end of August, and defeat the Allied forces before the summer next year."

"End of August!" Zheng Sen said in a deep voice: "Then we only have two months left."

In two months, seizing the control of the Indian Ocean is almost impossible to accomplish.

Huang Fei asked, "Is there no way?"

Zheng Sen shook his head, "The only way is to fight the decisive battle at sea with the Allies fleet and damage it severely."

When Huang Fei heard this, he showed joy on his face, "How to fight to the decisive battle?"

Zheng Sen shook his head again. "I am blunt. The Allied Fleet is very powerful, with more than 20 warships, and its strength is not weaker than us. In the current situation, it is difficult to fight decisively at sea, and even if it is a decisive battle, it is difficult for us to keep them!"

Huang Fei and others frowned. At this time, a very young officer next to him suddenly said, "Can't you set up an ambush?"

Zheng Sen couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw this. The coach and general were present. How did the same team feel? Moreover, Huang Fei seemed to have no objection.

Zheng Sen was a little confused. He looked carefully and found that the little officer in front of him looked very much like a person. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but the other party did not reveal his identity, and Zheng Sen didn't say much.

"Yes!" Huang Fei said to Zheng Sen: "Criminal, can we set up an ambush, lead out the enemy fleet, and then eat them?"

Zheng Sen stroked his beard, "This plan can be considered."

As they said that, everyone gathered next to the sand table and began to formulate a strategy according to the idea of ​​setting up an ambush.

Huang Fei said: "If you want to set up an ambush, you must have bait!"

"This is simple. The British and French joint fleet is intercepting Daqian's transport ships and can send a fleet as bait." Zheng Sen pondered: "But to lure out the enemy's main fleet, the scale of the bait must be large in order to attract the main fleet of the Allies to intercept."

Huang Fei nodded, "We also need a suitable ambush location."

Zheng Sen pondered for a moment, then looked at the sand table. Huang Fei quickly handed the wooden pole to him and saw Zheng Sen pointing at a long list of archipelagos in the middle of the East Indian Ocean.

"This is the Zhenghe Islands, composed of four large islands and several small islands. There is a strait between the islands." Zheng Sen said in a deep voice: "Our main fleet can hide here, so that the enemy fleet can be lured into one of the straits and ambush can be achieved."

The Zhenghe Islands are the Andaman Islands, which are located in the middle of the route from Malacca to Bangladesh.

Ambushing at sea is not like on land. There are various terrain and levels to be used on land, while the sea is vast and boundless, making it difficult to encircle on the sea surface.

The sea speeds of warships of various countries are now similar. It is difficult to encircle enemy ships at sea without relying on the terrain of the strait.

Huang Fei and many generals stared at the sand table, Gu San bowed and said, "Master, let me serve as the commander of the enemy-tempting fleet!"

That night, Gu San led a formation escorted by eight warships to leave the Port of Malacca.
Chapter completed!
