Chapter 2023: Looking into the Pacific II

Let's not talk about the Americans' tricks for those who have not crossed here. Even if you do a good job of aircraft carriers, planes, and pilots. But your pilot has never been on the battlefield once, and the Japanese Air Force doesn't care, at least it has fought allies on the Western Front and the Eastern Mediterranean, and the level is fairly average. Just looking at actual combat experience, Benson has no trust in the instinct of the US naval aviation!

And to be honest, the fragility of the aircraft carrier itself also makes sea-based aviation at a disadvantage when facing land-based aviation under the same conditions. Perhaps a bomb or a torpedo that hits a relatively tricky position can make an aircraft carrier completely lose its combat effectiveness. After fighting power, if you want to repair it, you must return to Pearl Harbor... If you are unlucky, you may be blown up by a submarine or plane. If you are lucky, it also means that you will not be able to fight the battlefield in the next few months!

　　 "However, even if your country’s naval aviation and fleet cooperate fully, it is very difficult for us to attack the Japanese fleet and the land-based aviation defense of New Guinea. It may be extremely costly.” Benson said. In fact, apart from the report given above, the U.S. Navy has not made a plan on how to successfully capture the island of New Guinea because it is too difficult and the Navy's expansion rate is still very slow. Even if you build the so-called "simplified aircraft carrier", you still need to have a pilot and an airplane. In this era, flying is still very fashionable, and Americans don’t have so many aviation clubs!

　　 "It's very difficult, so I said at the beginning that money can't do whatever I want. So I think the tactics and implementation plan I propose next is worth 100 million US dollars!" Ruprecht said with a smile.

"To be honest, from a tactical point of view, if the main force of the Japanese navy and the main air force are concentrated on the island of New Guinea, it will be very difficult for the United States and Germany to attack frontally. This frontal assault situation, leave it to me, and I will not A better way, because the endurance of our warships, base location, supplies, and aviation support can be said to be completely at a disadvantage. What's more, the Japanese and the British provide help."

"However, when God closes the door for people, he also opens the windows! If we can't make a breakthrough from the front, then why not think of other ways? For example, make some changes to Japan's maritime traffic line that stretches for thousands of kilometers. Hands and feet, just like what we did to the British, from the Strait of Malacca to the mainland of Japan, the entire East Indies, the Philippines, and the waters near Japan will become the hunting grounds for submarines. In fact, the scale of submarines is currently the largest. The strategic system is the most perfect. I think the German Empire is second, so no one is the first?" Ruprecht said triumphantly.

"However, the submarine also needs supplies. If the Marshall Islands and the Caroline Islands are used as bases, the submarine's navigation cycle is still too long, and the submarine needs the assistance of radio and various intelligence. You cannot solve this." General Benson said.

"Who said we can't solve it? Don't forget that the Netherlands still controls the Dutch East Indies including Sumatra and Java. And we are confident enough to convince the Netherlands to cooperate with us!" Ruprech Special played the second card.

　　 "Yes, we and the Dutch have common interests. I think the Dutch are willing to provide this kind of help. In fact, we can do without your country." Taft said.

"No, no, no. You understand that there is a mistake. The Netherlands will cooperate with the United States only after the German Empire agrees, and if we do not agree, then the Netherlands will not cooperate with the United States. Because the Netherlands borders the Empire and the United States of America Far apart!" The prince said with a smile.

"I understand very well that we and your country are wolves, and wolves eat meat! Even though your country and the Netherlands have common enemies, there are quite different interests. If the lost colonies cannot be returned to the Netherlands, So is there a difference between giving to the Japanese and giving to the Americans? Since neither can return to the Dutch pockets, why did the Netherlands risk being involved in a large-scale war to help the Americans?”

　　 "Grass the grass!" Taft has never seen such a direct person, but no matter what, Taft must admit that the Netherlands has no ability to go against the wishes of Germany. But you can refuse to cooperate with the Americans. After all, Americans also want to gain a foothold in the East India region! The subtext that Ruprecht said is already very clear. If the two sides of the United States and Germany break down, then the United States will have no allies in the entire Dutch East Indies. And without the help of the Dutch, let's not say it is positive, even if you want to fight unrestricted submarine warfare, is it not easy? Then the US strategy in the Far East is completely over, so let's wash our sleep.

　　 "But for the same question, how can your country guarantee the Dutch people's safety?" Taft asked.

"Leave it to me to solve this problem. Don't worry about it. We are doing business now. You are the customer~www.wuxiaspot.com~We are the manufacturer. If our service is not up to standard, then you will naturally refuse to pay, and if your If the quotation is unreasonable, we can also choose not to do it. However, I have never made a mistake in maritime affairs. How about trusting me once?" Ruprecht said nonchalantly. "Of course, you can also try to contact the Netherlands unilaterally."

　　 "What if the Dutch problem is solved?" Benson doesn't care about political matters, he only cares about how to send the Japanese to the bottom of the sea!

"Then we will use submarines as the main means of breaking diplomatic relations, and at the same time, we will do our best to ensure the safety of most parts of the Netherlands. Faced with the US and Germany fleets, the Japanese are not capable of dealing with the Dutch colony with the help of Germany. Offensive. How to break the relationship is our problem. You don't need to worry about this too."

"The next step is to wait. When the Japanese fleet begins to shrink, we can now be sure that the Japanese fleet will also not be able to obtain complete supplies in New Guinea, and the island of New Guinea has just been occupied for less than a year. It is very difficult to establish a system that can support the Japanese joint fleet in such a short period of time, and when the rear transportation line continues to lose blood, the Japanese must also deploy a large number of warships and aircraft to perform anti-submarine missions. Otherwise, they even The most basic transportation exchanges between the mainland and the colonies are impossible! The Japanese and the British are the same in terms of dependence on sea routes! Therefore, the retreat of the Japanese navy will also become inevitable!" Ruprecht Said.
