Chapter 2797 This Wave Is Not a Loss 2

Therefore, I have to say that the Navy's proactive attack this time has given us an overwhelming advantage in the frontal battlefield battle. Within 3 months, I can guarantee that the airport, port and warehouse will be built to the southernmost tip of the Bismarck Islands and New Guinea. The islands face each other across the sea. Anyone who has seen a world map should know how far the distance is between the two. Our bomber force can even cover the deep area of ​​​​Lae on the island of New Guinea, within a radius of 600 kilometers, as long as weather conditions permit, the Japanese fleet All operations will be under our land-based bombers. Our biggest constraint in all previous campaigns was the lack of a huge air base, but now, with the Japanese fleet absent, we have everything! "

"As long as the U.S. Navy cooperates, I can guarantee that I will control the entire Wimboy Island within 3 months! And this island with an area of ​​777 square kilometers has enough area to serve as a springboard for us to attack New Guinea! And there is only one link between the two. Separated by a narrow Warrior Channel. I think everyone should be aware of this huge strategic advantage. We can completely describe it as having one foot stepped into the door of New Guinea!" Pershing said.

"Holding grass, is there such an operation?" All senior government officials, including Old Roosevelt, were shocked. They did not expect that a battle fought like this could be turned into a great victory through such an explanation. They Now I finally understand what defeat on the battlefield means victory in war, or can it also be said to be victory without victory?

If someone else was excusing the Navy, then Roosevelt wouldn't believe it, but now these words come from an army general who doesn't like the Navy very much, it's different! There is no need or reason for the Army to cover up for the Navy, and the black old man Pershing has a good character and is trustworthy, so the credibility of what he says is very high, and if even he thinks that this battle is profitable, then it is true. made money.

"On behalf of the Navy, I would like to thank you and the Army you represent for your support and encouragement to the Navy." Benson on the side immediately expressed his gratitude. Per Xing also nodded slightly in return.

"Well, now that we have such an advantage, how should we fight the next stage of the war?" Old Roosevelt asked. Although he did not designate anyone to answer, it was obvious that this question was addressed to Pershing, After all, the main force of the navy now needs to rest and recuperate when they return. Only the army can truly control the front line.

"I hope that the current frontline fleet can work closely with the army. When the Japanese navy cannot return to the battlefield, we will work hard to expand our advantages." After speaking, Pershing looked at Benson.

"Zhou Cao, no wonder you, an old fox, want to speak for the Navy!" The Art of War may only have 60 points, but Benson, who has more than 85 points of experience in the system, suddenly feels that he understands the intention of the old black man before. This guy at least has The purpose of 30% is to have the highest command authority on the front line!

Think about it, if he excused the navy, then the navy must return the favor. If the situation is favorable, then taking advantage of the favorable situation to expand victory is an inevitable choice. But now the navy's first-line warships have suffered heavy losses.

The navy will be in a semi-disabled state in the next few months, so well, the only one who can lead this battle is the army! However, from the perspective of the navy, such a result is not unacceptable. After all, the navy suffered heavy losses and now can only rely on the army.

"The current stage is to control the Bismarck Islands and prepare to land on New Guinea to capture Lae. We need the navy to provide fire support and escort for the army's offensive, and cut off most of the Japanese supplies. We need to When the Japanese navy is unable to fight, it pushes the front as far as possible and establishes a chain of bases," Pershing said.

"This is a good idea. If you can come up with a reasonable and thorough plan, then I think it is okay for the Army to lead the finishing work of the Bismarck Islands Campaign." Roosevelt said.

After Pershing made the guarantee, the atmosphere in the subsequent talks was good, because the senior officials of the U.S. government were very happy to see the improvement in the war situation, but the U.S. Army seemed to have gained huge benefits, both on the battlefield and politically, so it was also very happy. As for the navy, it avoided punishment due to huge battle losses. This meeting is fundamentally a meeting of unity and victory!

Although there is a political purpose for the navy, if you look at the overall situation, this wave of US Navy actions is at least worthwhile, although some consequences will take a long time to become apparent. The losses of the Americans can be made up. Whether it is the South Dakota-class battleships that are being stepped up to be built or the fast battleships purchased from Germany, they can make up for the losses of the American battle fleet. As for the aircraft carrier? The construction period of these warships is shorter, and because the battle will be fought around the island of New Guinea in the future, the U.S. land-based air force with huge advantages can replace the carrier-based aircraft of aircraft carriers in many fields, so the problem is not big. Coupled with the fact that aircraft carriers are relatively easy to build, the losses of the US fleet are bearable.

But what about Japan? Not to mention that the supplement of capital ships can only rely on warships ordered from Italy and the United Kingdom. At least the destroyer force is almost useless as Shimamura Hayao said. Judging from the war situation, Japan has lost its most important barrier, the Bismarck Islands. With the Bismarck Islands gone, the next step is New Guinea, and then the Americans can step by step penetrate into the former Dutch East Indies. The door has been opened, and the Japanese should even start thinking about how to end the war by cutting off their flesh and blood!

After such a large-scale battle, the Americans need to rearrange their strategy, and the same is true for Japan. Contrary to the Americans' invincibility, the Japanese high-level leaders have realized that they are somewhat invincible and defeated! That's right, it means defeat without defeat. Tactical victory cannot cover up the overall strategic decline! Although in terms of propaganda, the Japanese government can use this victory to cheer up the national era, but in turn they must deal with the mess left behind on the battlefield and economy. The shock of this "victory" was so great that the top Japanese government official, Saionji Kimio, the Navy's Yamamoto Gonbei, and the Army's Masaki Terauchi came to the Philippines. They will listen carefully to the opinions of the senior leaders of the Combined Fleet. , and plan for future wars!

"Everyone, please tell me your opinions. Let's not talk about the rights and wrongs of the past. We have to focus on the future. After all, the war will continue!" Xiyuanji Gongwang set the tone for the normal meeting!
