Chapter 2447 Talking only Half a Sentence when Meeting People 2

"This is the crux of the problem! If I were Admiral Benson, I would ask the Army to temporarily suspend the next step of landing operations, gather a large number of fast supply ships to provide supplies for the Navy's fast fleet, and then I will command This fast fleet shuttled between the former Dutch Indonesian archipelago to attack all valuable targets within the Japanese colony! Lead the war to the depths of Japan, disrupt the Japanese military's rest! And prevent them from rebuilding their defenses!" said the Crown Prince .

"But the U.S. Navy lacks fast battleships. Even if our second batch of battleships arrives, the maximum number of fast battleships that can be used is 6. Among them, there are only 4 Bavaria ships!" Su Xiong said. After all, considering the needs of Germany, sending 4 Bavaria ships is already the upper limit. If he handed over half of his national treasure at once, wouldn't Scheer feel distressed to death?

"Six ships are enough. After all, the task of battleships is mainly to bombard ground positions and deal with night battles. Moreover, the premise for a fast fleet to go deep behind enemy lines is that the Japanese fleet is in a weak period. It is already very good that they can make up six fast battleships. With the existence of warships of the new era like this, we are at least 50-50 in terms of capital ships and gunships. I don’t ask you to win, at least it’s okay to retreat completely, right?” the crown prince said with a smile.

"And don't forget, if we draw 25 knots, we only have some disadvantages in fast battleships, but we have great advantages in cruisers, destroyers and the most critical aircraft carrier!" The crown prince said with a smile.

"Remember, if the war enters this stage, taking advantage is the main thing. Don't keep thinking about fighting the Japanese fleet and defeating them completely. This is the next stage. Only when Japan is nailed to the Dutch East Indies Only after the nails are pulled out one by one can we obtain the best decisive battle situation, just like the naval battle in the Norwegian Sea! This process must not be rushed, take your time!" said the crown prince.

It is a very troublesome thing to fight in the waters of the Dutch East Indies known as the Ten Thousand Islands. The air force deployed by the Japanese relying on the islands does not say how powerful the attack is. At least the reconnaissance they provide to the Japanese Navy can make the American and German fleets The perception ability has dropped significantly, and the ports all over the archipelago have also provided great help to the Japanese navy. At least in this sea area, the Japanese navy does not have to worry about supply issues.

Therefore, the U.S. and German fleets must take advantage of the weak period of the Japanese navy, rely on the strong national strength and supply capabilities of the United States to restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and then take the initiative to launch an offensive before the Japanese have slowed down. Waiting for the facilities to be smashed. As for the confrontation with the Japanese fleet, it should be placed in the second place. If you can take advantage of the opponent's weakness and take a bite, then you will bite. After all, there are still 4 to 6 German fast battleships to help cover it. If it is so unlucky, it will not escape! After all, in history, the effect of battleships chasing the same high-speed aircraft carrier is not very good....

In history, the only regular aircraft carrier that died at the hands of battleships was the Glory. This was due to weather and visibility problems, and it almost ran away. Su Pao, who was armed to the teeth, suffered very limited losses. You know, Kincaid's fleet is an escort aircraft carrier, and there seem to be only 3 destroyers around? What's more, even if caught off guard, the American escort aircraft carrier also tore a piece of meat from the Japanese!

As for the threat of the land-based air force to the US and German fleets, this can only be said to be very limited. Although the German and British Air Forces have used aviation power to severely damage the opponent's surface fleet during the war, the Japanese aviation power is absolute. Not at this level,

After all, the Japanese lack suitable equipment and even less experienced crews who have been battle-tested! If it was the British before, then maybe they still have the ability, but unfortunately, even if the British are fully supporting the Japanese now, the experienced crews have died in the war!

Well, now let's go one step ahead, is it possible to rely solely on the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier to attack the facilities of the Japanese Navy like the US Navy's task force in World War II? After all, the carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier have a longer attack range and higher efficiency. How can I say this? It can only be said that this step is a bit big. The reason is simple. The combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers in this era is limited not only by the performance of the aircraft itself Reason, the aircraft carrier is also completely unready.

For example, judging from the fuel and ammunition load of the current US aircraft carrier, the current US aircraft carrier does not have the ability to suppress the sea for a long time. For example, the aviation fuel load of the new American aircraft carrier Yorktown-class aircraft carrier is only 250 tons. . You must know that in the history of World War II, the aircraft carrier Zuikaku of the Japanese Navy had an aviation fuel reserve of 475 tons, and the American Essex had more than 800 tons. The Japanese Navy's Taiho has a fuel reserve of 1,000 tons! In terms of aerial bombs, the amount of ammunition carried by the current aircraft carrier is still too small. In the history of World War II, naval guns played a very important role in land attacks, let alone now!

So in Ruprecht's view, even if the U.S. military's offensive in the Bismarck Islands is successful, it has only gained a certain degree of initiative. If the Americans continue to take conservative measures in tactics, then wait What the Americans want is an endless battle for islands, and the war will undoubtedly be very long. Only by breaking the deadlock when both sides are resting can the war be ended as soon as possible. Of course, Ruprecht will not remind Americans of the current relationship between virtue and virtue.

As for if the Americans don't realize this, is it in Germany's best interest to continue the war? This also depends on the situation. First of all, it is clear that the long-term benefits of the war between the United States and Japan are not only Germany, but also the United Kingdom. If the war between the United States and Japan makes Britain recover quickly, it will also have a negative impact on Germany.

Secondly, if the United States realizes that it is meaningless to continue the war, once the United States decides not to fight, how can Germany effectively deter Japan through this war, and thus ensure its economic interests in the Far East? The Japanese nation is a very inflated nation. When the Japanese feel that even virtue cannot shake its interests in the Far East, then it will be unscrupulous. Germany is not prepared to seek colonies and military presence in the Far East after the war, but it does not. Does not mean no financial interests!
