"It seems that the situation of General Su Xiong this time is really bad." When Major General Karls of the Bavarian Army came to Su Xiong's flagship again, he saw the battleship full of bullet holes and ruins, and Busy soldiers, there are fragments and traces of flame burning everywhere. Although the core area of ​​the Oldenburg is still intact, the loss is also great. In the end, this warship only had 4 main guns to use. One of the main guns of the No. 1 turret on the front deck was interrupted. The turret of the No. 2 main battery was shaken, causing damage to the saddle and servo system of one of the guns, and the long barrel fell.

Three days have passed since the war. Su Xiong and Raidel are still dealing with follow-up matters, and Major General Karls is not idle. After the maritime transport fleet was hit hard, the situation of the US Army has changed dramatically. For soldiers, the biggest The impact is that fresh vegetables, meat, and all kinds of luxury supplements, such as tobacco, alcohol, and coffee, are all gone. For American soldiers, their daily staple food has become a variety of hard biscuits and luncheon meat produced from 1905 to 1910. Steamed, grilled, fried. All kinds of tricks. But only luncheon meat. The same goes for the German officers including Major General Karls. Fortunately, they also have instant pasta brought from Germany and various sausages produced in Bavaria. , These things are now in demand, in the front line army, 4 dollars a pack!

In terms of equipment, the U.S. Army has begun to strictly restrict the use of ammunition and weapons. The 155MM long-range artillery that was originally used for ultra-long-range suppression of Japanese heavy artillery has stopped suppressing. After all, this method of using strong charges to forcibly increase the range of the artillery The wear is too severe. And if the information Karls received is correct, in the war a few days ago, the US Army lost at least 40 155MM cannon barrels!

The U.S. forces that had been on the offensive began to shrink. The chassis seized within a few weeks of hard work lost most of the chassis in two days. The Japanese army began to launch a large-scale offensive, but it did not cause much damage other than the increase in casualties on both sides. Great effect. According to Major General Karls’s speculation, if the Americans were determined to defend, it would be difficult for the Japanese to drive the US Army into the sea. The gap between the two armies, especially in terms of equipment, is not generally large, and in this situation that is close to trench warfare, the offensive side is very disadvantaged.

And this time, Major General Karls came to Su Xiong's flagship, with the purpose of evaluating the dynamics of the US military on the New Ireland Island and the direction of the future war with Su Xiong. Then write a report and send it to Crown Prince Ruprecht and the German central government.

"Sorry, the conditions are simpler, I'll just go ahead." Su Xiong said. When Major General Karls came to the officer’s dining room of the Oldenburg, the German Navy had made all preparations, and there was a huge sand table in the middle of the dining room. Various icons are hung on the wall. The staff have sorted out the collected data. Originally the officer’s dining room was air-conditioned, but now, I’m sorry. Open the large porthole of the washbasin and make do, there are still fruits, but the ice cream is forgotten. The power on the battleship is a bit tight.

"This is already better than the conditions of my command." Major General Karls said very sincerely. Because it is so, Su Xiong and the others just don't have air conditioners now, and Kars hasn't had air conditioners.... As for food and drink, it can't compare with the navy. No way, it is normal for the navies of various countries to receive higher treatment than the army.

"As for the losses on both sides, I think everyone is very clear. Let's just skip this part. As for the attitude of the US navy and army, I can now be sure whether it is the commander-in-chief of the US Army Pershing or the current US Naval Commander Benson, or the next most popular candidate, Sims, they all insist on carrying on this battle. So let's discuss this on the premise now." Su Xiong said.

"So what is the next plan for the US Navy? Can they maintain maritime transport? Does the Japanese Navy still have the ability to continue to launch surprise attacks?" Major General Karls asked. No way, this is an island battle, and the key to victory or defeat lies in sea power. Therefore, he must figure out the state of the US-Japan fleet.

"The Japanese Navy should have no chance. Their combat effectiveness is also very depleted, especially the auxiliary warships, which have even dropped below the horizontal line. Moreover, the severe weather will soon pass, and the next stage can be described as a clear sky. Japan It is difficult for people to use the cover of night to carry out a sneak attack again. On the sea, the U.S. Navy still has a dozen battleships and five aircraft carriers. There is no big problem with sea dominance."

"As for the issue of rotation, I think the Japanese are still unable to consume the United States. The way the American fleet is handled is to wait for the Japanese fleet to evacuate from this area, and then they will rotate. So, at sea, the Americans will still have control. Quan, if the battlefield is a prison, then the U.S. Navy is the jailer, and the Japanese are the prisoners. They wounded the jailer, but they could not save the prisoners in the prison." Raidel's answer was very simple and affirmative.

"So when will the American transportation capacity be restored?" Major General Karls continued to ask.

"This is hard to say." Su Xiong's answer surprised Major General Karls.

"I think, from the perspective of the number of transport ships and material reserves, even if it is transported from the mainland, it will not take long?" Major General Karls asked.

"If the Japanese ~lightnovelpub.net~ or the people who provide the Japanese with tactics are smart enough, then the next stage, when the main fleets of both sides are all dead and ready to rest, the Japanese fast forward dreadnoughts should attack. Now, they will disrupt the maritime transportation line from the mainland of the United States to Hawaii. Maybe the actual loss will not be very large, but it will definitely reduce the U.S. transportation volume, because there are no suitable warships in the US Navy’s combat sequence to restrict these. Fast forward and fearless. It is actually very difficult to catch this kind of warship at sea." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"I heard that it was the British who advised the Japanese this time?" Karls asked.

"Yes, it must be British, and it may be Betty. Because, according to the information provided by our intelligence network in Europe, this guy has suddenly disappeared for several months." Su Xiong said.

"Betty is so good now?" Kars expressed puzzlement.

"People are always growing, but this issue is not important. The important thing is that if the Japanese launch a battle of breaking the engagement at this time, it will seriously delay the American offensive. The fall of New Ireland is certain. The only problem is When will it fall?" Raidel said.
