The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2566: The Japanese fleet ready to go 2
But this time, the high level of the joint fleet made such an arrangement, and the highest commander was naturally the commander of the joint fleet Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu. Yasuo Shimamura served as the chief of staff and chief of staff of the joint fleet, and Lieutenant General Kato Seiyoshi served as the commander of the first battleship detachment, commanding 6 Fuso-class battleships. Kantaro Suzuki served as the commander of the second battleship squadron, commanding the remaining 4 fast-track records, while Yamaya others commanded 6 improved quasi-dreadnoughts. This time the Japanese Navy has concentrated 16 various capital ships. Describe it with elites. In order to cover such a huge fleet, the Japanese joint fleet also prepared 8 light cruisers and 42 destroyers. At the same time, there are 3 seaplane aircraft carriers responsible for reconnaissance and liaison. As for the aircraft carrier? Because of the bad weather, he missed this large-scale battle.
Someone may have said, why the seaplane carrier can be used in bad weather, but the aircraft carrier cannot? The reason is very simple. The seaplane carrier can use a crane to put the seaplane on the sea to take off, or it can use the same method to recover the aircraft. Can you give me a try on the aircraft carrier? The so-called severe weather does not only mean high winds and waves, but also a situation where the sea condition is not very bad, but the visibility is very bad.
As for what if the weather gets better or if aviation support is urgently needed? Naturally, the land-based aviation power on the New Ireland Island will do it for you. Therefore, in Japan's view, such things as aircraft carriers are really not suitable for use in this situation.
And while the Japanese fleet is preparing for war with all-out efforts, the British are also meticulously fulfilling their mission as allies. This time, there are more than 500 British naval officers and soldiers who accompanied the Japanese combined fleet. They are mainly responsible for technology. aspect.
"We have arranged a special high-frequency communication team on every battleship above the Dreadnought class. We have adopted a brand-new communication frequency band. Although there is no guarantee that the Germans will not be able to receive it, they are certainly not easy to intercept. In addition, we have The battleship also arranged a radio positioning and lateral team. According to the known communication frequency bands provided by the Japanese for the German fleet, we can probably receive more than 90% of the communications from the German fleet and ground forces." An officer in charge of technology Report to Betty.
"Can we decipher the German password now? The device that was turned into a dumb machine by the German?" Betty asked.
"Not yet. Although we have captured this machine on the battlefield of the war before and have understood its principle, there are two premises for this deciphering. The first is that we must obtain what the Germans are now using. Mummy machine, and you should know that this is impossible. Because the Germans equipped the Su Xiong fleet with a new 5-rotor dummy machine this time, we can’t get it at all. The second point is that we need huge computing power. Neither Britain nor Japan can provide it. If it is deciphered by manpower or simple machines, it would be a disaster." The officer said.
"But fortunately, we are now using a dumb machine similar to the Germans. We can't decipher their telegrams, and they can't decipher our telegrams." Studdy on the side came to the round.
"Is it really impossible to decipher? I don't think so. With that person's eyes, he will not create a monster that he can't deal with." Betty muttered to herself.
"Anyway, there is still no evidence to show that the Germans can decipher the mime machine, because the most critical prerequisite for the mime machine is to obtain a mime machine in use! This may not be difficult for the Army, but I want to get it from a warship. It's impossible to find a complete puzzle machine on the Internet," Studdy said.
"Well, let's assume that what you are saying is really good, maybe the Germans really can't do it, maybe it's just that the Germans feel that exposing this ability on this occasion is not worth the gain, who knows." Betty decided not to. Entangled on this issue.
"How are the preparations for electronic jamming?" Betty asked.
"At least it can be used to interfere with more than 70% of the U.S. military's radio communications. From our previous monitoring of U.S. military communications and many tests, the Americans' equipment and technology are still acceptable, but they lack practical experience in how to deal with interference, and they are very Unfamiliar." The technical officer said.
"But we have to deal with the Germans this time!" Betty increased his tone.
"This time the Germans are using American communication equipment and communication standards. This is because the German Navy is a guest army, and the guests are free. On the other hand, no country will expose its core communication secrets. This is the case between us and the Japanese, and the same is true for the Americans and Germans." Stetti said.
"Well, it seems that this time, we have no intentions of mental arithmetic, and there are no defects in technical preparation. I think this is very good, very good." Generally speaking, Betty is quite satisfied with the British navy's combat readiness.
"Has the Japanese Navy confirmed the final attack?" Betty asked.
"I'm sure. The Japanese said that if our weather forecast is correct, they will launch an offensive in three days. It will take less than 2 days to enter the starting position under the cover of bad weather, and then wait for the opportunity. If the weather forecast is accurate, then the weather on the night of the battle should be relatively good, the cloud thickness is not too big, although the sea conditions are a bit high~lightnovelpub.net~ but the visibility is good, that night is still full moon. The Japanese want to play them. The advantage of night battles." Studdy said.
"Have you chosen the target?" Betty asked next.
"I have selected two targets. The first target is a former dreadnought battleship squadron that is on the edge of the US military's security zone and has been used for ground attack missions. According to intelligence, there should be 4 ships. They expect the battle to break out. I stayed in this position that night." Studdy pointed to the chart with his hand.
"Hehe, can the Japanese still command the US Navy?" Betty said teasingly.
"This action is coordinated by the Japanese Army. The Japanese Army will launch a large-scale offensive that night, and this fleet that is responsible for ground support will naturally provide fire cover." Stetti said.
"It seems that the Japanese have really lost their money. I don't know whether the Japanese can kill this fleet, but it is estimated that the attacking Japanese army is miserable. They have to face a naval gun far surpassing the army's strongest artillery!" After Betty finished speaking, he signaled Stetti to continue.
