Chapter 2447: Everyone just say a few words.

"This is the crux of the problem! If I were Admiral Benson, I would ask the Army to temporarily stop the next landing operation, gather a large number of fast supply ships to provide supplies for the Navy's fast fleet, and then I will command This fast fleet shuttled between the former Dutch islands of Indonesia to attack all valuable targets in the Japanese colony! Bringing war to the depths of Japan, disrupting the rest of the Japanese military! And preventing them from rebuilding the defense line!" said the crown prince. .

"But the U.S. Navy lacks fast battleships. Even if our second batch of battleships arrives, the maximum number of fast battleships that can be used is 6. Among them, only 4 can be used in Bavaria!" Su Xiong said. After all, considering the needs of Germany, the dispatch of 4 Bavaria ships is already the upper limit. If you hand over half of his treasure of town, wouldn’t Scheer die?

"Six are enough. After all, the main task of battleships is to bombard the ground and deal with night battles. Moreover, the premise for the fast fleet to go deep behind the enemy is that the Japanese fleet is in a period of decline. They can make up 6 fast battleships. With the existence of new era battleships like this, we are at least 50-50 in terms of capital ship gunboats. If you don't beg you to win, at least retreat completely, right?" The crown prince said with a smile.

"And don't forget, if we divide 25 knots into one bar, we only have some disadvantages in fast battleships, and we have great advantages in cruisers, destroyers, and the most important aircraft carrier!" The crown prince said with a smile.

"Remember, if the war enters this stage, taking advantage is the main thing. Don't always think about smashing the Japanese fleet and defeating them completely. This is the next stage. Only when Japan is nailed to the Dutch East Indies After the nails are pulled out one by one, we can get the best decisive battle situation, just like a naval battle in the Norwegian Sea! This process must not be anxious, take your time!" said the crown prince.

Fighting in the Dutch East Indies, known as Ten Thousand Islands, is a very troublesome thing. The air forces deployed by the Japanese rely on the islands, not to mention how strong their offensive power is. At least the reconnaissance they provide to the Japanese Navy can enable the Virtue Fleet Sensing ability has dropped drastically, and the ports all over the archipelago area have also provided great help to the Japanese Navy. At least in this area of ​​the sea, the Japanese Navy does not have to worry about supplies.

Therefore, the U.S.-German fleet must take advantage of the weak period of the Japanese navy, rely on the strong national power and supply capabilities of the United States to recover its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and then take the initiative to launch an offensive before the Japanese have slowed down. Waiting for the facilities to be smashed. As for the fight with the Japanese fleet, it should be placed second. If you can take advantage of the opponent's weakness, you can bite with one bite. If you can't bite, then at least it's okay to flash people? After all, there are still 4 to 6 German fast battleships to help cover, if it is too unlucky, it can't get away! After all, historically, the effect of battleships chasing and fighting aircraft carriers of the same speed was not very good...

In history, only the official carrier Glory was killed by battleships. This was due to weather and visibility issues, and almost ran away. As for the Battle of Wright Bay, the Kinkade fleet was caught off guard. The millet, armed to the teeth, loses very little while running. You know, Kincaid’s fleet is an **** carrier, and there seems to be only 3 destroyers around? What's more, even if caught off guard, the American **** aircraft carrier tore a piece of meat from the Japanese!

As for the threat of the land-based air force to the U.S.-German fleet, this can only be said to be very limited. Although the German and British Air Forces used their aviation power during the war to inflict severe damage to the opponent's surface fleet, the Japanese aviation power is absolutely Without this level, after all, the Japanese lack the appropriate equipment and even the experienced crews who have experienced the battle! If it were the British before, then they might still be capable, but unfortunately, even if the British fully supported the Japanese, the experienced crew had already died in the war!

Well, let’s go one step further now. Is it possible to rely solely on the carrier-based aircraft of an aircraft carrier to attack the facilities of the Japanese Navy like the US Navy’s task force in the Second World War? After all, the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier has a longer attack range and is more efficient. How to say this, it can only be said that this step is a bit big. The reason is simple. The combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers of this era is limited not only by the performance of the aircraft itself. The reason is that the aircraft carrier is not ready at all.

For example, judging from the current fuel and ammunition capacity of US aircraft carriers, the current US carrier does not have the ability to suppress long-term maritime operations. For example, the new American aircraft carrier, the York City-class aircraft carrier, has a aviation fuel load of only 250 tons. . You know, in the history of World War II, the aviation fuel reserve of the Japanese Navy’s aircraft carrier Zuizuru was 475 tons, and that of Essex in the United States was more than 800 tons. The Japanese Navy’s Oho’s fuel reserves reached 1,000 tons! In terms of aerial bombs~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the amount of ammunition on aircraft carriers is still too small. In the history of World War II, naval guns played a very important role in land attacks, not to mention now!

So in Ruprecht’s view, even if the U.S. offensive in the Bismarck Islands succeeds, it will only gain a certain degree of initiative. If the Americans continue to take conservative tactical measures, then wait for the Americans’ It is the endless battle for islands, and the war will undoubtedly be very long. Only when the deadlock is broken when both sides are resting can the war be ended as soon as possible. Of course, Ruprecht would not remind the Americans of the current relationship between virtues.

As for if the Americans did not realize this, would the war continue to be the best for Germany? This depends on the situation. First of all, it is clear that the long-term benefits of the war between the United States and Japan are not only for Germany, but also for the United Kingdom. If the war between the United States and Japan allowed Britain to recover quickly, it would also have an adverse effect on Germany.

Secondly, if the United States realizes that it is meaningless to continue the war, then once the United States decides not to fight, how can Germany effectively deter Japan through this war and thereby ensure its own economic interests in the Far East? Japan is a very inflated nation. When the Japanese feel that even virtues cannot shake its interests in the Far East, it will act unscrupulously. After the war, Germany was not prepared to seek a colonial and military presence in the Far East, but it did not. Doesn't mean that you don't want financial benefits!
