The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2592: What about Benson?
And Shigeru Yoshimatsu also believes that further delay is an absolute loss. At this time, the flagship of the Second Fleet, Ibuki, has also dealt with his own battle injuries, controlled the water intake, and extinguished the fire inside the hull. The loss was huge, but the speed was fair enough to keep up with the fleet. Therefore, Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu used the short-distance communication within the fleet to request the Second Fleet to immediately gather the formation and prepare to evacuate.
Therefore, after an encounter was over, the Japanese fleet continued to move in the direction of the standing wave of the American transport fleet. At this time, the German fleet did not send any new signals. On the one hand, the Weimar that had just gotten rid of the Reaper and followed it The radio communication equipment on the two destroyers of China has been completely destroyed, so Benson could not be contacted. On the other hand, Su Xiong, who had just thrown off his opponent, also needed to deal with his own battle injuries to restore combat effectiveness. At this time, he did not dare to bet that the Japanese fleet was not by his side.
"We need to report to General Benson immediately at this time. The Japanese will definitely attack our transport fleet next!" Nimitz said anxiously.
"You know? So far, we still haven't received a telegram from General Benson. We haven't responded for so long. General Benson can't be indifferent. He will definitely send a message to urge us, but now, the relevant frequency band is still full. Interfering waves. We can’t receive them and we will publish them as well.”
Although Nimitz was only a liaison officer, in order to avoid unnecessary wrangling after the war, Su Xiong still needs to clarify some things first.
"At this time, we want to count on the Benson fleet, which we don’t know where, is obviously an unreliable choice. So in this case, General Pershing’s transport fleet can only rely on the three battleships behind me and Old Fletcher’s armored cruiser squadron, to be honest, this power is really nothing in front of the Japanese combined fleet. Therefore, if we want to delay, then we must surprise it. Just because of a telegram, we have already lost A precious Bavarian-class battleship, and if there is another mistake, believe me, the loss of the United States tonight will be unbearable."
After Su Xiong finished speaking, he made a quiet gesture and signaled Nimitz not to speak any more. He only needs to record Su Xiong's words seriously to prevent future wrangling. As for whether you understand or not? This matter is not important! Su Xiong doesn't care either! (At this time, because the Weimar radio equipment was destroyed, Su Xiong did not know that the Weimar ran away.)
Well, the Japanese combined fleet has already played 2 games tonight. Su Xiong's German fleet has also suffered a huge loss and is licking its wounds to prepare for another battle. Now the question is, what is the Benson fleet doing?
Now, the Benson fleet is doing something that the Japanese fleet is trying to avoid, that is, chasing a certain fleet in a long chase! Undoubtedly, in this chase battle, the fleet of others in the mountain house is a thieves and is running out of life, while the US fleet is a policeman, extremely powerful, but slower! And sometimes, speed is everything!
"Damn it, the Japanese run really fast." Benson said angrily while looking at the Japanese fleet in the distance. Then he looked at the German liaison officer Lütjens on the side again: "Now I am still in contact with General Su Xiong. No? What the **** is he doing? When my fleet is engaged in a battle-related chase, when I need fast battleships the most, what is Su Xiong doing? Isn’t it the case with the German Navy that has experienced many battles? Are you fighting?"
"Your Excellency, I must make one point. The entire German High Seas Fleet does not mean to be passive and sabotaged. Your accusation is serious. General Su Xiong has no reason to do so. If his actions seriously harm the interests of your country, I I believe that the empire will give your country a reasonable account." Lütjens said neither humble nor humble.
"But the reality is that he didn't appear where he should be! He didn't execute my order! This is a fact, a fact that cannot be refuted!" Benson roared looking at the Japanese fleet looming under the searchlight of the destroyer ahead.
"Well, Mr. Lütjens, please go and contact General Su Xiong again." Ma Jifen, who is the chief of the fleet's general staff, said while casting a look at Benson next to him.
"Benson, don't you think the current situation is very abnormal?" Ma Jifen said. "Su Xiong may have his own thoughts, but he has no reason not to reply to us by telegram!"
"How do I know why he didn't reply!" Benson was also a little puzzled. To tell the truth, if Su Xiong has his own ideas and doesn't care about himself, Benson believes it, but if he wants to say that Su Xiong is sneaking, dereliction of duty. Benson certainly didn't believe it. At the national level, although virtues are cracked, they are still in an alliance. There may be things that can be done secretly, but on key issues, the two sides still try to be consistent. From a personal level, Su Xiong, who can already be considered a successful retirement, doesn't need to leave such a stain in his last navy career.
"You mean, there is a problem behind us?" In a flash, Benson almost came into contact with the truth of the matter.
"It should be impossible. At least our moored fleet in the core area is still safe, and General Fletcher's armored cruiser squadron did not find any enemies. We can be sure about this ~lightnovelpub.net~ after all 5 minutes ago We just contacted General Fletcher, and everything is normal in his place. The Army has not been attacked either.” An officer next to him said.
"Contact again, let the Army and Fletcher strengthen their guard." Benson thought for a while and said.
"Although I don't want to report malice to Su Xiong, the biggest problem in the entire naval system is that his fleet can't be contacted! I really don't know what Su Xiong thinks, but the battle is over. Later, I won't let him go!" Benson said viciously.
"What if his fleet fights against the Japanese fleet that infiltrated the past?" Ma Jifen had such an idea in his heart, but again, this idea was only a flash, after all, no matter how sudden and intense the fight, it won't be even one. Can't send a telegram? As for electronic interference? To be honest, the Americans tested it before World War I. (This is true!) Ma Jifen can be sure that Britain and Germany may have a way to interfere with American communications in this world, but the Japanese definitely don't have this ability! Therefore, this idea that can reach the point of the problem is not spoken!
