The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2856: confused
"We also have some newly launched large cruisers, a total of three. How do you plan to arrange it?" Magifen asked.
"Let them go to New Guinea, join the aircraft carrier detachment, provide **** for the aircraft carrier, and provide fire support for the army." Sims thought for a while and said. Although Sims was very bitter about the issue of large cruisers when communicating with Su Xiong, but to be honest, if you have fast battleships to use, who uses large cruisers, although in special circumstances, large cruisers It has its special purpose, but it still cannot change the tasteless problem of this cruiser.
The new fast battleships in service must be with the main fleet, and the First Aircraft Carrier Squadron, which performs combat missions on the island of New Guinea, lacks enough fast battleships to accompany or provide cover, so Sims also generously photographed these cruisers to the front. Anyway, there is no sign of the Japanese joint fleet being dispatched, and warships of this level are completely sufficient on the island of New Guinea.
After arranging all capital ships and these capital ships, the rest is easy to say, destroyers can almost be described as on-demand distribution.... That squadron needs a destroyer, and a direct application can generally be approved. As for the seaplane carrier? The attitude of the Americans is similar to that of Betty, and they lack interest in this kind of half-hearted warship. Now with the increasing number of aircraft carriers, seaplane aircraft carriers are more likely to undertake **** and anti-submarine missions. This matter can be arranged by the following person, and then Sims and Majifen begin to discuss the next issue, what should the main US Navy do?
Before discussing this issue, Americans need to know what the Japanese are going to do! The island of New Guinea is too big. Even if it is the advantage of the US military, it will take a long time to control the entire island. The island of New Guinea is over, and there are the Maluku Islands and Sulawesi to the west. Kalimantan Island and the Philippines are the core areas controlled by Japan. Although from a strategic point of view, the Japanese will fail, but if the other party intends to delay it, it can still last a long time. However, the Americans want to end the battle quickly!
"The Japanese Navy still has enough time to consider its own decisions. If they choose to nest in the Philippines in a short time, we have nothing to do. If they dare to come to New Guinea, our main fleet can immediately Go to the front line and smash the opponent together with the army's aviation force. But I feel that the Japanese will not fight to the death in the near future." Ma Jifen said.
"Yes, the Japanese are not stupid. As long as they know that our fleet has been repaired and there are new warships in place, then they will definitely not fight head-on. But the Japanese navy can't be indifferent and treat it as one in the port. There is a fleet, they are going to act after all." Sims said: "So, I feel that the Japanese may choose to send a regular fleet to our transportation line again."
A few months ago, the Japanese navy dispatched several old-fashioned pre-fearless ships to break the diplomatic relationship with the U.S. maritime transportation line. At the beginning, it did cause some pressure on the Americans. However, as the U.S. Navy increased its forces to encircle and suppress the diplomatic relationship, Japan broke the diplomatic relationship The fleet is either driven out of the battlefield or destroyed. In fact, with the development of technology, it has become more and more difficult for regular warships to break the relationship. The cost-effectiveness is not as good as the camouflage assault ship. After all, the latter has very low cost and good concealment. Although it is a lot simpler, it survives. The probability is high!
"It doesn't matter, we now have enough fast warships and aircraft carriers, unless the Japanese fleet appears in an organic form, otherwise, we will not lose." Sims said. Perhaps the Japanese dispatched fast battleships could indeed get some cheaper in the early stages of the war, but as long as the loss is not particularly large, the strong productivity of the United States can be supplemented in minutes, and if the Japanese Navy loses, it will lose a valuable main force. Ship, so Sims never worried that he would lose money....
"So what if the Japanese fleet is formed to attack?" Ma Jifen asked.
"Then we can only chase the vast ocean in an established system. I hope that luck will be on our side at that time, and our performance on the spot will be the best or better." Sims said helplessly.
"What you said is possible, but there are many problems in implementation. First of all, the supply of large fleet operations is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. The Japanese must prepare enough transport ships to support their combat plans. Large-scale cross-dealing is not a single ship breaking the cross-deal, which can feed the enemy. And if we use the method of fixed-point contact and supply, then we can definitely find clues, and then give the opponent a fatal blow at the right time. As long as you can stand your temper, there will always be a chance."
"Furthermore, the maintenance and upkeep of large warships is very problematic. It is decided that even if they succeed at the moment, they must return to the port after a period of rampaging, and then take a few months to rest. If you are worried about maritime transportation being affected. , We can suggest that the Army stock up some supplies in advance. In short, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate the Japanese breaking tactics, but it is possible to minimize losses." Sims said.
"So, what you mean is that if the Japanese fleet adopts the method of breaking the relationship, then we will play hide-and-seek with them on the ocean, and if the turtle is in the Philippines ~lightnovelpub.net~ we may have to take the fleet to go. New Guinea cooperates with the army's operations?" Majifen said.
"Yes, that's it. When our base in the Bismarck Islands takes shape, the main force of the fleet will go to the new forward base. Except for the overhaul, most of the routine maintenance and maintenance will be carried out on the front line. Stay there, waiting for the Japanese fleet to send you home." Sims said. In Sims' view, the future Pacific war situation will not have major twists and turns. It is nothing more than catching thieves at sea, and then jumping out when the Japanese navy can't help it. The Americans can crush them with absolute superiority. Up.
"Okay, let's do this first. Also, are you interested in the news about the German fleet?" Ma Jifen said as he turned.
"The German fleet? Didn't they have withdrawn to the homeland? Our cooperation with them has completely ended. Even we took a long time to retrieve the warships we ordered before. The Germans are now willing to cooperate with us. Yes?" Sims said with bright eyes.
