Chapter 2564 I’ll Do It 3

"You mean four Rurik-class battleships?" Betty asked.

"Yes, it's them! They were originally used to carry out ocean-going diplomatic operations in batches, but now they are also very good as a diversionary fleet." Shimamura said.

"It seems that your movements are still very fast." Betty expressed her appreciation for the efficiency of the Japanese.

"With the national crisis facing us, who dares to be slow?" Shimamura Hayao said mockingly. "I now understand your plan. Use a squadron to move away the main force of the U.S. Navy, and then the main fleet will directly attack the berths, ports and landing sites at the core of the U.S. military. I am already looking forward to being the leader of hundreds of 14-inch or above ships. How spectacular it will be when large-caliber naval guns wreak havoc on the American fleet!"

"So back to the original question, what if we encounter the Su Xiong fleet?" Shimamura Hayao asked. After all, even if there is no US fleet for the time being, the Su Xiong fleet is still a force that cannot be ignored.

"It's very simple! Six Fuso-class battleships keep an eye on Su Xiong, and then use Kongo-class battleships and light cruisers to attack the fleet berth!" Betty said. "Or if we have a greater advantage, then we can concentrate our efforts to injure Su Xiong's fleet in a short time, so that they will not dare to appear on the battlefield again easily!"

"Is there no other way? If we can sink two Bavaria-class battleships, then the future situation will be very good." Shimamura Hayao said with some disappointment.

"There is no other way. To be honest, my hatred of the Bavaria-class battleships is far greater than yours, but I have to say that unless Su Xiong makes a fatal mistake, it will be very difficult to sink the opponent in a short time. . You will know how difficult this guy is after having a formal battle with him." Betty made a helpless gesture and said. When the situation is unfavorable, Su Xiong doesn't know how to be tough!

"I think we should choose the second method. Even if we cannot sink Bavaria, we must prevent the Su Xiong fleet from returning to the battlefield for the time being. After all, we have to evacuate after the battle. If we are blocked by the American fleet, And if Su Xiong's fleet returns to the battlefield after a short period of repair, our situation will be very bad!" Shimamura Hayao said.

"It's up to you. The whole battle process is not complicated, but if you want to execute it well, it depends on the quality of the officers and soldiers. At least the decoy fleet must be able to hurt the Americans, and it must also be able to slip away from the guns of the American fleet. , of course, the most important thing is that he must be able to keep an eye on the U.S. fleet at all times. We must know the movements of the U.S. fleet. This is a big issue involving life and death for the entire action plan and your country's navy! The movement of the entire fleet must also be strict Confidentiality and information security are the keys to victory in the war, so I recommend that all communications be immediately replaced with new passwords and frequency bands during the entire mission!" Betty said.

"We will make arrangements." Shimamura Hayao said. "Well, if the decoy fleet does not target the main U.S. fleet or the U.S. fleet does not take the bait,

What to do? "

"Cancel the action immediately!" Betty's answer was extremely simple.

"Then what if the decoy fleet attracted the Su Xiong fleet?" Shimamura continued to ask.

"We can try to fight a quick battle, but we must not delay it for too long. Unless Su Xiong's fleet is severely damaged, we must cancel the operation." Betty said.

"I think this plan is pretty good. It's very likely that the fleet's top brass will pass it. If it passes, we'll get back to you later." Shimamura finished speaking and was about to leave.

"Okay, if possible, I would like to get another battle order list of the fleets participating in this war." Betty said.

"German, you never thought that we would meet on the battlefield after the war." After Shimamura Hayao left, Betty said to herself with some emotion.

What did MacArthur say in history? Old soldiers never die, they just wither. And what about this plane? The same is true for Betty. The end of World War I was not the end of Betty's naval career. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, he ran halfway around the world to the Pacific Ocean and continued to fight against his former enemies. And if we simply look at the grasp of the battle situation, Betty is more mature than he was during the war! More cunning! Only when the lead is washed away can gold be revealed!

"Your Excellency, General, what do you think is the best state that the Japanese Navy can achieve after this battle is over?" Sturdy said next to him.

"The best situation? Tactically, Su Xiong's fleet may be temporarily sent to Pearl Harbor due to battle injuries. The former dreadnoughts may be able to sink 3 to 4 ships. As for the dreadnoughts, it is estimated that there will be 1 to 2 at most, and the Japanese fleet will not Maybe he escaped unscathed." Betty thought for a while and said.

"If this is the case, then even if the Japanese fleet achieves a tactical victory this time, I am afraid it will not fundamentally change the situation of this battle." Sturdy thought for a while and said. "Although you didn't give the Japanese any instructions, I feel that the wanton massacre of 100 large-caliber naval guns that the Japanese fantasized about will never happen, because our enemies are not stupid. They know which targets must be protected. . And in the fierce confrontation, even if the Japanese fleet can evacuate, they must return to the rear port for maintenance and repair. The best result for the Japanese is to temporarily eliminate the main fleets of both sides from the battlefield. And if If the Japanese fleet cannot threaten the U.S. military's maritime supply lines, then the U.S. military's proactive offensive situation will not change. "

“And if the American industrial advantages are taken into account, they can rejuvenate the fleet faster, and if the Americans’ offer satisfies the Germans, maybe the second batch of replacement fleets is already ready at Kiel Port. " Sturdy's words were full of sarcasm.

"It won't be so fast. Only Americans in the world want to end the war as soon as possible. The Germans don't want it, the British don't want it, the French are unhappy, and even the Japanese don't shed tears without seeing the coffin. So, from this perspective It seems that unless the Americans have a firm national will and are willing to mobilize their war potential at all costs to suppress Japan, otherwise, this war will not end so quickly, or even the battle that broke out on New Ireland Island I'm afraid it may last for more than half a year!" Betty said.

"I don't understand. Even if the Japanese have achieved the best results and the main fleets of both sides have temporarily left the field, relying on the current combat effectiveness of the US Army, purely in terms of strength, as long as they are willing to pay the price, they are still capable of winning the battle. This island. The actions of the Japanese could not change the outcome of this war," Sturdy said.
