"According to the agreement between our two countries, your country should always maintain a certain military presence in the Pacific. Therefore, you cannot leave until your country’s new fleet is in place. Of course, we will do our best to maintain the fleet, and Meet all the requirements of you and your fleet." Marshall on the side said immediately.

"Okay. I believe that your country will do its best, but I want to say that in the battle tonight, our fleet has a total of more than 700 wounded. That's good, now the question is here, what will your country do? Give us full manpower?" Su Xiong asked.

Yes, tonight’s night battle of the German fleet also suffered a great loss of personnel. There were more than 300 wounded on Weimar alone. After all, they were hit by more than 2 dozens of 15-inch and 14-inch shells. These personnel are not just cooks and Personnel such as firemen who can be replaced at will, step back ten thousand steps, the parts, steel plates and even artillery and turrets needed for German fleet maintenance can be shipped directly from Germany, but how do the personnel handle it? Now that the German navy is downsizing on a large scale, it can't bring the personnel of other battleships over quickly, after all, it is a carrot and a pit! For the retired personnel before the recruitment, they must undergo adaptability training after returning.

To be honest, Su Xiong really doesn't want to fight anymore. On the one hand, he is incapable. On the other hand, Su Xiong is worried that he will be pitted again. Yes, it is a pit! To be honest, tonight, the US Army is the biggest victim, and the Su Xiong fleet is the second victim! If it were not for the sake of face, Su Xiong really wanted to tell the U.S. Navy, please change the commander-in-chief!

"I agree in principle that the fleet will return to Pearl Harbor for maintenance. The Weimar will return tomorrow under the **** of the destroyer, but the remaining three warships will not work. We must ensure that the Japanese fleet also leaves this sea area." Sim Said.

"What if the Japanese fleet is partially evacuated?" Su Xiong asked.

"As long as the number of the main Japanese fleet does not exceed 5 ships, then your fleet can return to Pearl Harbor for repairs." Sims thought for a while and said. In fact, letting the Su Xiong fleet stay is to pull the flag as a tiger skin and maintain the size of the fleet to frighten the Japanese. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Su Xiong fleet is really not much. If the Japanese also choose to flash people, then the American fleet will naturally also I need to go back and fix it, not to mention the Su Xiong fleet. In fact, the main force of the US fleet is about to be unable to hold it.

"I hope you can speak up." Su Xiong stopped arguing. Because Su Xiong knew that after this battle, the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and the main fleet continued here to maintain a sense of existence. He must go back and repair it! In a short time, no one can attack anymore.

"Well, then, General Benson, what do you mean?" Pershing asked. Obviously, this time, he was asking about the attitude of the US Navy. And this question put Benson in a dilemma. Because Benson doesn't know if this battle can continue!

Fighting is absolutely not emotional, the result of being reckless is just that you can lose more! For example, the battle of Dardanelles in history and the battle of Guadalcanal in World War II... Benson has been thinking about this issue. In fact, if the United States wants to stop now, after discarding "unnecessary" equipment, under the cover of the fleet, it is still a problem to successfully withdraw hundreds of thousands of U.S. Navy and Army officers and soldiers. No. But if this is done, what is the face of the United States of America? The news of such a fiasco returned to China, so the United States can't fight it? What would other powers in the world think? On this earth, how do Americans still mix?

And if you leave at this time, isn't everything you paid for it in vain? This sunk cost is a bit high. And if the fight continues, what about the short-term supply and reinforcement of the US Army? Who is responsible for safety at sea? Benson has no confidence in himself.

If Pershing gave Benson a little longer time, Benson and his staff could still sort out a plan, but today, Pershing made a direct statement, and if Benson doesn’t make a statement anymore, there will be a gap between the navy and the army. But it's too big. After all, what happened to the army today lies in the navy!

For a while, the scene was very quiet, only the sound of people's breathing. Pershing stared at Benson. Benson looked down at the documents on the table. Ma Jifen was a little restless, while Sims frowned. Su Xiongruo on the opposite side Thinking, and Riddle seemed to be wandering away.

"As long as I am the commander of the United States fleet, then I will do my best to ensure the smooth flow of the army's supply lines and the safety of the sea." In the end, Benson raised his head and said decisively. After weighing it repeatedly, Benson decided to stand with Pershing. Of course, this was his decision before his dismissal, and it was hard to say after changing to a new commander.

Benson also believes that it is unlikely that the Japanese fleet will continue to attack. Although the main force fleet is relatively complete, according to intelligence descriptions, the light cruiser detachment of the Japanese main force fleet is almost completely destroyed, and the destroyers that follow the main force fleet may even have 10 destroyers. No, in this case, even the most basic anti-submarine and anti-lightning operations of the large fleet are not enough, and it is unlikely that they will continue to fight again.

On the other hand, Benson also believes that the United States has paid enough for this war~lightnovelpub.net~ and the army is slowly opening up the situation. At this time, it must not be stopped, whether it is military or political. So!

"You finally did something right." Pershing nodded and said. In fact, today's meeting is over at this point. The Americans have at least figured out the entire course of the campaign, and the navy and army have the same attitude. As for what to do next? This is a matter that requires long-term consideration. Some things cannot even be decided by them and need to be discussed by Washington. The largest maritime battle that broke out after the end of this world war had too great an impact. The matter has just ended, and many of the impacts are still being fermented. The arrangements made by the senior management depend on the situation.

If, after the end of the war, the first meeting of the senior leaders in the front would be over. Everyone is busy immediately. The U.S. Army must quickly pick up the materials left over by the Japanese. It is estimated that they will have a long period of hardship. The U.S. Navy needs to rebuild its defense system. The easiest guess is the Germans. In addition to taking care of their own affairs, most people just wait for the evacuation. Of course, Su Xiong and Raidel are exceptions, because they are also preparing to send a report to the crown prince! And this battle report will largely determine the relationship between virtue and virtue for a long time to come!
