Chapter 2443: Windy

The crown prince really did not expect things to come so soon. After all, some time ago, the United States and Germany continued to wrestle with each other in the future Pacific War. But just yesterday, the US government suddenly expressed to Germany through the US ambassador to Berlin that it was willing to negotiate on the basis of all the conditions proposed by Germany! These included a certain degree of relief for Germany’s debts during the war, and additional financial loans for Germany’s economic development, and this time, the Americans said they would no longer interfere in European affairs. Even the future colonial treatment of the United States in Germany is not even mentioned! It can be said that the magnitude of the American concessions this time makes the German government and even Ruprecht feel incomprehensible!

In the letter, the U.S. government stated that the first batch of loans of up to 300 million U.S. dollars would be credited to the German accounts within three days, and in return the German Navy’s first batch of aid to the U.S. main fleet should be no later than Depart from Germany to the United States in 1 week! According to the previous agreement, this time the fleet commanded by Su Xiong should include at least 4 ultra-daunted and 1 aircraft carrier! The liaison of the United States, General Magifen, will also go to Germany immediately, and then board the German warship and return to the United States with Sims stationed in Germany! There is no doubt that the Americans are now in a hurry!

"Grass, what's the situation, the Americans are so anxious?" Ruprecht muttered a little bit in his heart. To be honest, during this period of time, I was busy dealing with domestic affairs, and things in the Pacific were not paid attention to. What happened? What makes Americans so eager to do it?

　　 "According to the information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it seems that the cooperation between the British and the Japanese is somewhat large. It has made Americans feel uneasy." Earl Schelling said.

"Hehe, I would like to know how much the British and Japanese riots can make Americans feel uneasy." But obviously, this kind of more detailed information is definitely not available in a short period of time, and this kind of thing and The crown prince does not have much direct relationship. The most critical thing now is that Su Xiong will lead the fleet to sail. The first round of cooperation between the two sides in the Pacific War between Germany and the United States is about to be implemented. His prestige was created in naval battles, and Ruprecht could not let his hard-working German navy suffer in the Pacific.

　　 "When will General Majifen arrive?" the crown prince asked.

　　 "If there is no accident, it should be within two days. He left early. There are also some naval military personnel who will be trained in Germany, and then return to the country to serve." Count Schelling said.

"Well, we can wait for the Americans to come and say something, but now, the transformation of our battleship must be fast. Tomorrow, we will go to the Royal Navy Shipyard in Kiel to see the progress of the transformation of the battleship above." Precht said.

　　 "The navy hastened to complete the personnel and reserves. I don't want any problems in the imperial navy's first large-scale ocean warfare." Ruprecht said to Scheer and others.

"Okay, we are ready for the personnel. Tomorrow we can end everyone’s vacation and return to the fleet immediately. The personnel, aircraft and spare equipment on the aircraft carrier are also ready and ready to go. It is the Bavarian-class battleship of the Second Fleet. The modification project is a bit big.” Scheer thought for a while and said.

The German High Seas Fleet is still very concerned about the expedition to the Pacific. After all, on the one hand, this is indeed a punishment for Japan’s entry into the Allied Powers. On the other hand, the price offered by the Americans is not low. So in the principle of fair trade, the Germans naturally Do things better.

　　 Therefore, after the end of the Norwegian Sea battle, taking advantage of the opportunity of the fleet to be overhauled at the port, the German High Seas Fleet began to improve all warships that were going to the Pacific. The firepower and armor protection must not be changed, just a repair, but in order to ensure the Bavarian-class endurance and underwater protection, the Germans still used their brains.

　　 After all, in history, the Japanese paid much attention to lightning strikes, and once fighting in the Pacific, once you were injured by a torpedo, you could not go back like you did in the North Sea, so the buoyancy must be improved a little bit. In the end, the Germans decided to add a lightning protection protrusion on both sides of the battleship. At the same time, in order to improve the range of the battleship, the Germans used the newly added lightning protection protrusion as a half tank... As for changing the kerosene mixed-burning boiler to an oil-fired boiler, I guess there is no time to do it, so let's talk about it later.

　　 Of course, after the hull modification is completed, all warships heading to the Pacific must be re-treated with tropical paint. At the same time, the oil and various equipment of warships must also be replaced and maintained for the tropical environment. On the personnel side, some drugs to deal with tropical climates and diseases should also be allocated. In short, this war is of great significance to the German High Seas Fleet in terms of technology and adaptability.

　　 "Su Xiong~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This time you are under a lot of pressure." After inspecting the progress of the Kiel Royal Navy Shipyard, Ruprecht said to Admiral Su Xiong.

"Yes, this is a long sea war of attrition over a vast sea that we have never encountered before. Although the German and American fleets have overall advantages, our front is too long, and The number of high-speed battleships is insufficient. The US fleet must continue to rotate. In fact, the number of warships used for first-line operations will be relatively limited." Admiral Su Xiong said.

"And the most important thing is that we may deal with the endless night battle this time. The Americans' battle plan has been drawn up, according to the outflow of news. Their first strategic goal is to establish a support point in the northeastern part of the island of Guinea. The Japanese don’t expect the Americans to establish support points so easily. The Japanese fleet will use the night to continuously bombard the US military’s landing area, and if we want to prevent it, we must engage in a night battle with the Japanese fast fleet, which has an overall speed advantage. "Su Xiong continued.

　　 "Look at the situation, have the Americans determined the specific location of the support point now?" Ruprecht asked.

　　 "No, but Ma Jifen should tell us the true thoughts of the US Navy this time." Su Xiong said. "His Royal Highness, if you are the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy, what is your attack line?"

　　 "If it were me, I would choose to land in the Solomon Islands." The crown prince thought for a while and said.
