Chapter 1246: Unable to Attack with Fire

"I think this conjecture of mine is quite possible!"

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there is so much kerosene on the main battleship of the combined fleet!"

"Commander! For the sake of caution, please make defensive arrangements to prevent the enemy from launching a fire attack on our army!"

After saying this suggestion in an passionate tone, Verscher discovered that Otto's reaction was calmer than he had imagined.

Fischer originally thought that Otto would look shocked after hearing what he said, and then said in panic: "What? There is so much kerosene on the ships of the United Fleet! Call all the generals ! Begin defense preparations against fire attacks from now on!”

However - what stood in front of Verscher was Otto's calm face.

Otto, who looked calm, was playing with the brown jar filled with kerosene in his hand while quietly listening to Verscher's passionate speech just now.

After Fuscher finished speaking, Otto smiled slightly, showing an intriguing smile.

"Thank you for your advice, Verscher. I am very touched by your advice and your loyalty."

As Otto spoke, he threw the brown jar filled with kerosene back to Verscher.

"But - I already knew that Su Cheng planned to use fire attacks to deal with us."

"Ah?!" Verscher was holding the brown jar that Otto had just thrown back, his eyes widened, "Coach, you already knew this? How did you know?"

"Inferred."

Otto nodded his forehead while continuing to wear that intriguing smile.

"The most important equipment for water warfare."

"The combined fleet is inferior to our army in terms of military strength and equipment level."

"Although the ships of the Combined Fleet have the advantage of high flexibility compared with the ships of our military."

"But this advantage is not enough to make up for their disadvantages, let alone give them a winning edge."

"The benefit they have from this advantage is that they can fight with our army a little more.

There is simply no way to rely on this advantage to defeat us. "

"If we use conventional fighting methods, no matter how powerful Su Cheng is, he can't do anything to us."

"If you want to win a water war when your military strength and equipment level are all at a disadvantage, there is only one method available - launch a fire attack."

"So it is not difficult to infer that Su Cheng came with a large amount of fire oil and was preparing to launch a fire attack on our army."

As soon as Otto finished speaking, Fischer immediately said urgently:

"But, but! Coach!"

"Since you have already guessed that Su Cheng will launch a fire attack on our army, why don't you prepare for it as soon as possible?"

"Oh?" The intriguing smile on Otto's face became more intense, "Which of your eyes saw that I wasn't preparing for fire attacks?"

"As early as when I led the fleet into Lake Anga, I had already begun to prepare against fire attacks."

"The tactic of fire attack is not something you can use just because you want to."

"If you want to launch a fire attack, there is one important factor that you have to consider, and that is - wind."

"If the wind direction is wrong, it will be difficult to launch the fire attack."

"Ferscher, didn't you notice?"

"Ever since our army entered Anga Lake, the east wind has been blowing here." Feidu

"Since our army started the war, I have always intended for our army to stay to the east of the Combined Fleet and to the upwind direction of the Combined Fleet. I have also been suppressing the actions of the Combined Fleet and preventing them from getting to where they can launch a fire attack. Upwind direction."

As soon as Otto said these words, the doubts on Verscher's face finally dissipated, and his mind, which was originally filled with the fog of "confusion", suddenly became enlightened.

"Coach!" Fisher shouted excitedly, "You actually started planning to deal with Su Cheng's fire attack so early!"

Fisher recalled the various situations since the beginning of the war.

Before, Otto had always had some strange orders, requiring the fleet to collectively move a certain number of meters to the left, or collectively move a certain number of meters to the right.

Verschel didn't understand Otto's strange orders at first, but now he understands them all.

It turns out that these movement orders from Otto were all intended to change the position of the fleet.

"Do you think this is all the preparation I've made?"

Otto said again at this time.

"Didn't you realize that we have been driving the combined fleet to the northwest corner of Lake Anga?"

"Although on the surface, it seems that the two armies are just fighting fiercely, and both sides unconsciously moved the battlefield to the northwest."

"But in fact - I deliberately dragged the battlefield little by little to the northwest corner of Anga Lake."

"Continuously reduce the scope of action of the combined fleet. When they are unable to retreat, it will be time for our army to launch a general attack and achieve a great victory."

"That Su Cheng seems to have discovered my intentions recently. In the battles in recent days, the combined fleet has been showing signs of breaking through and breaking away from our army's compression network."

"It's a pity that their ships are not as big or as numerous as ours."

"No matter how hard they struggle, they can't break through our compression net."

"Ha." Otto sneered, "There is no way to break through our army's compression network, and there is no way to occupy a suitable position to launch a fire attack. That Su Cheng must be very anxious now."

"But..." At this moment, Fisher whispered hesitantly, "What if the wind direction changes? What if the wind direction suddenly changes from east wind to west wind..."

Before Fischer finished speaking, Otto waved his hand.

"It's impossible. As for the wind direction, you don't have to worry at all, Fisher. It's impossible for the wind direction to change from east to west."

"Fuscher, don't you remember? I can read the sky."

After saying that, Fisher raised his head and looked at the gloomy night sky above his head.

"According to my observation, I now know that the wind direction will not change in the next half month."

"And half a month is enough for us to rush all the ships of the combined fleet to the northwest corner of Anga Lake and wipe them out."

"Unless that Su Cheng manages to change the position of their fleet, they will have no way to launch a fire attack until they are defeated!"

Britannia Empire, Rhineland Plain, Frank Army, main tent of this formation.

"...To sum up, His Majesty requests your noble officials to immediately mobilize 5 bowls of troops to go north to reinforce the northern part of our country and resist the attack of the grassland people."

The loud and almost emotionless voice of the central envoy clearly reached the ears of everyone in the large tent of this formation.

Although the central envoy's words have fallen, Walter still has not recovered from his stunned and shocked state.
