Chapter 2491 2nd Hand Preparation 4
?
Americans help Germany because Germany can help the United States solve problems that cannot be solved in the Pacific. This is their trust in German military power. But if the Americans are helpless and the Germans stand by and watch, then this premise no longer exists. Even if you are a mercenary who is paid to fight, you still need to show results, right? At the beginning, Su Xiong was worried that the Americans would forcefully retreat, and then the German navy would have no chance to show off, but now it seems that this worry is gone.
"Then the Americans must give us the right to participate in the formulation of the core plan." Redel said, spreading his hands. "And this will take time and Americans will need to feel enough pain."
"However, what I was most worried about before was that the possibility of the Americans directly taking over New Ireland Island is already very small. So what we need to consider now is how we can restore the strategic situation if the early offensive is frustrated." Su Xiong decisively started another topic.
"The battle for the islands is ultimately a matter of sea power. Increasing the fleet, especially the number of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, can completely solve the problem. With the financial resources of the navies of the United States and the United States, it is no problem to kill the Japanese here." Redel Said with a smile.
"Old man, let's be realistic. You clearly know that Germany's aid limit to the U.S. Navy will not be changed easily. And what we need is a limited victory, not directly killing the Japanese." Su Xiong frowned and said.
"Politics can be so troublesome sometimes," Redl said, half seriously and half jokingly. "You should have some ideas, right? After all, you are the fleet commander, and I am just the chief of staff."
“I have some ideas, but they still need to be refined,” Su Xiong said. "I think the Americans are too conservative in their tactics. They try their best to reduce losses, but due to the battlefield situation and tactics, their plans will always have some loopholes. This has resulted in problems at the campaign level. We are at a disadvantage. And you and I both know that when the battle situation is at a disadvantage, pure passive defense is useless. It just delays the deterioration. The most important thing is that we must take the initiative to change the battlefield situation. "
The so-called situation is not good, or it is similar to a famous RTS game. The battlefield cannot beat the hero in seconds. This is one of the ways to change the situation of the battle. The essence is to attack to change the situation. Su Xiong understood this very well, and before coming, Su Xiong had considered how the German navy could make a surprise move, exert its subjective initiative, reverse the situation of the war in one fell swoop, and then squeeze out more from the Americans if the US military could not attack for a long time. While bringing many benefits, it has left a huge psychological shadow on both the United States and Japan. that is it!
"That's what I think." Su Xiong took a few steps to the huge sea map and said, "My original plan was to wait until the battle lasted for two months before it was implemented, because at this time, the two sides must have fought several times. , even if the Japanese navy's battleships are not completely lost, there must be some that have been temporarily withdrawn from combat due to battle injuries or maintenance problems.
Various auxiliary warships will also lose a lot, and the main fleets of both sides will be very tired. This is the time for us to make our best use. "
"However, our fleet will also be very tired," Redl said. "Even if we hadn't experienced war, after two months at sea, the Bavarians would have had to return to Pearl Harbor to clean pipes and boilers."
"It doesn't matter. If the Americans are sincere, my current warships will return to the country, and then there will be new warships to make up for the lack of warships in our hands." Su Xiong said nonchalantly.
"Well, if this is the intention of the government, this lack is really not a problem." Redel was speechless. There was no other way. In Bavaria alone, the German fleet had 12 ships!
"From a geographical point of view, New Ireland Island and New Britain Island form an umbrella. The former is the umbrella surface and the latter is the umbrella rib, which directly supports the entire front. The latter is an important logistics base for the Japanese front line. There will be many here ports, airports and military facilities. The Japanese can bombard the American airports and landing sites, and we can also bombard the Japanese landing sites and airports. It is even possible to attack several Japanese naval anchorages. I believe that to that At that time, the Japanese Navy's aviation power losses should also be huge." Su Xiong said.
"The main idea is correct, and the timing is also very good. And we can only do this." Reider thought for a while and said. At the beginning of the war, the Germans definitely couldn't do this, because the Japanese navy was at its peak at that time, and if it was bitten, Bavaria would probably have to stay. You must know that the Japanese Navy has 6 Fuso and 2 battleships equipped with 16-inch artillery! Why are you fighting? Moreover, at that time, Japanese aviation power could also provide the fleet with good reconnaissance and air defense. It would be uncomfortable to go out for a swim at this time.
But as time goes by, when the Japanese Navy is no longer at its peak and its aviation power has suffered heavy losses, the German Navy can take action, because Germany can ensure that 4 to 6 battleships and 1 aircraft carrier are always deployed in the Pacific, but the Japanese Navy cannot Ensure that the 8 strongest fast battleships are always on the front line!
In a battle, the strength of one side can remain unchanged, while the strength of the other side will decrease over time, so the combat effectiveness of the side whose strength remains unchanged is actually relatively enhanced...
When the combat effectiveness of both sides reaches a certain level, Su Xiong can take action. With 4 or 6 fast battleships and 1 to 2 aircraft carriers, plus American-sponsored cruisers, destroyers and their own submarines. Well, that's pretty much it.
At this time, Japan's land-based aviation power is helpless to Su Xiong. They may be able to provide guidance to the Japanese fleet. However, when both sides are fast battleships, as long as Su Xiong wants to avoid the battle, as long as his luck is not particularly bad, Su Xiong will The Japanese fleet could not catch up. And in this case, the Japanese fleet definitely does not have a 2:1 numerical advantage. In the open Pacific, if you want to divide your forces to intercept them, you are courting death!
Then the problem now arises. If Su Xiong is more conservative, he will continue to hold back the Japanese fleet by maneuvering at sea. If the Japanese fleet cannot care about the front line of New Ireland Island, then Benson will naturally There will be no pressure. As for the effect of the army's attack? This is not something Su Xiong can consider.
