Chapter 2567 Not Perfect

Haha, this is not what we care about. Because of the bad weather, the American transport fleet concentrated in this location. This is the best sheltered area in the entire New Ireland Island and is large enough. Because of necessary transportation and movement, although the Americans implemented light control, it was not strict. We found it easily. They shine like light bulbs at night. Sturdy said.

"However, the Americans also know that they will definitely arrange defensive forces nearby. Even if we can attract the American fleet away, we will probably have to fight a tough battle if we want to break through here," Betty said.

"I don't think so." Sturdy said with a frown. This was the first time he opposed Betty's opinion head-on. Although Betty could already be described as infamous among the British navy and people, after real contact Betty, and after working with Betty, Sturdy believes that Betty's ability is quite good, at least now Betty has washed away her reputation. Even Thomas admires the current Betty. Therefore, unless Sturdy is particularly confident, he will not directly refute Betty.

"Judging from the current news, the main forces of the U.S. fleet are the first and second battleship squadrons, with a total of 10 super-dreadnoughts. Then there are the 4 Bavarian-class battleships of the Su Xiong fleet. The fifth battleship squadron is said to have returned, Well, the Fourth Battleship Division is still here, with a total of 4 battleships. According to the intelligence, I think the Americans’ First and Second Battleship Divisions and the Su Xiong Fleet should be together, because as long as these 14 battleships Then the main force of the U.S. fleet will be invincible. Even if we gain the upper hand, we will never be able to defeat our opponents. Therefore, the only one that can act alone is the Fourth Battleship Squadron, which is just four backward old ships. What's the difficulty?" Sturdy said he didn't understand.

Please, do the math carefully. According to the Japanese plan, the mission of the Third Battleship Division commanded by others in Yamaya is to lure away the entire U.S. main fleet and use itself as bait to lure the U.S. fleet northward, creating an opportunity for the main fleet to attack the core area. In Sturdy's opinion, the Suchon fleet should serve as a reliable vanguard for the American fleet. They will bite other people's fleets in Mountain House first. Then the U.S. fleet follows up. Of course, if this is the case, the results for Shanwu's other fleets may be very bad, but so what?

As long as the main U.S. fleet leaves, the Japanese fleet can take advantage of the situation and rush into the core area, and then tear everything it encounters into pieces! If the U.S. Fourth Battleship Squadron dares to come to support, then just clean it up. It is just 4 old-fashioned dreadnoughts. Use several pre-dreadnoughts to replace the entire U.S. Fourth Battleship Squadron and at least one-third of the U.S. military transportation. Fleet, this is a good deal! So what if the Americans still have remaining dreadnought squadrons and armored cruiser squadrons? The dreadnought may not be able to catch up with the battlefield, but what if the armored cruiser comes up? It's just a waste of shells!

"What do you think of my plan?" Betty's sudden words made Sturdy feel a little uncomfortable. This plan has been approved by the Japanese and is about to be implemented. You still ask this question? what does it mean!

"If my opponent is a German, let alone Crown Prince Ruprecht, even if I face Scheer,

I think the probability of success of this plan is no more than 50%! Because, whether it is Scheer, Hipper or Count Spey, they have a very good view of the overall situation! They know that the most important task of the navy at this time is to protect the transport fleet. Therefore, even if other people's fleets in Shanwu eat a pre-dreadnought squadron, the Germans will never be obsessed with revenge. They will take our Drive away, and then the main force of the fleet will continue to huddle in the core area and wait for the bad weather to pass. Although this approach is very conservative, it is the most foolproof! "

"But unfortunately, this time his opponent is Benson. He is anxious. He is worried that the American fleet coming from afar will not be able to defeat the Japanese fleet waiting for work. Therefore, he will be very persistent in fleet battles. This mentality is what makes my plan possible. The key to success! This is a psychological game, just like how Crown Prince Ruprecht dealt with me in the Battle of Dogger Sandbank, but today, I am using this method to deal with the Americans!"

"However, I am worried that my plan may be able to deceive the Americans, but it cannot deceive Su Xiong. You know, among the entire German fleet, who is most familiar with long-term ocean operations, I am afraid it is Su Xiong! He may Realizing that we are the ones who cannot be wasted! And I think as a professional pirate in the Indian Ocean, he knows best what the core of the battle between the two sides is! Therefore, I am afraid that he will suggest that Benson stick to the core area. In this way, we may There can only be one tactical victory." Betty lowered her voice and whispered.

"Hiss, you mean! You are not very sure about this plan?" Sturdy said in shock.

"More than 60%, there is no use worrying about this at this time. The most important thing is that the Japanese have no better choice." Betty said decisively.

"We need to stay behind. The Japanese fleet cannot be finished this time. For the sake of the British Empire, the war must continue." Sturdy said seriously.

"Although I did not tell the Japanese the source of my worries, I gave them advice. If the U.S. fleet is not attracted away, then the main fleet must withdraw immediately even if it abandons the third battleship squadron. And if the U.S. main fleet is attracted If they are attracted away, then all you have to do is rush in desperately. As long as you time it well and grab a handful and leave, you won't suffer any losses," Betty said.

In fact, when persuading Shimamura Hayao, there was one thing Betty failed to explain clearly, that is, if the formation of the U.S. fleet is Benson leading the first, second, and fourth battleship squadrons, while Su Xiong's fleet remains alone in the inner circle. What should the Japanese do in this situation of clinging to the core area? If the Americans choose this conservative layout, it will actually be relatively stable. The reason is very simple. Even if the Su Xiong fleet is replaced, the grouping of 14 American battleships is still not something that the current combined fleet can easily challenge.

They have 10 Super Dreadnoughts and 4 Dreadnoughts! Although the Japanese fleet has 10 super-dreadnoughts, and the performance of 6 Fuso-class battleships is quite top-notch, the 3 Kongo-class battlecruisers are really not suitable for the battle line! Betty herself has personal experience. The Japanese also tried it in the Pacific Ocean! So Betty is not optimistic about the results of this exchange anyway. It's okay to steal one occasionally, but is it really a stand-up output? It's better to wash up and sleep.
