Chapter 2684: Survival by docking

"The situation is critical now." Studdy picked up the pipe and took two sips. His tone was very indifferent, as if he was describing something that had little to do with him.

"Yes, it is critical. The armored cruiser Kasuga has been destroyed. Fortunately, another armored cruiser returned ahead of schedule. Otherwise, we may lose two armored cruisers. And the fleet that provided us with supplies is also miserable. Otherwise, even if they only sail 6 knots per hour, they should arrive on time. If nothing happens, the Americans should have sealed off the entire east coast of Australia. It is too difficult for us to get supplies." Yamamoto 56 rubbed it. Said the cold sweat on his head.

"Yes, it's really difficult. Now we have powerful warships like fish falling into a fishing net. Although we are struggling, we can't get rid of the shackles of the fishing net anyway. Maybe the next moment, when they collect the net, we Just hang up." Studdy said after breathing out a smoke ring.

　　 "You don't seem to be surprised by all this?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six said that he could not accept the other party's so calmness! It seems that this has been expected long ago.

"It's certainly not unexpected. For a powerful fleet, it is a bit troublesome to catch our warships, but as long as you plan carefully, are willing to invest in strength, and persevere, you can always succeed. More this is a kind of containment, and it is impossible to solve the problem fundamentally. Frontal fleet warfare and breaking diplomatic relations are master-servant relations. Now, the main force of the Japanese combined fleet as the master is shrunk in the Philippines, so the broken diplomatic relations as a servant The fleet can only be crushed in the face of serious Americans, right?" Studdy looked at Yamamoto and said, "I remember talking to you before, don't you think you are very dangerous this time? Now , Are you scared?" The last sentence Stetti said was a little joking.

　　 "I just didn't expect this day to come so soon." Yamamoto said, flipping through the documents, and from time to time he painted something on the chart on the wall. "I thought we could contain the US military for at least half a year!" Yamamoto said angrily.

"Has it half a year? Are you too confident in yourself or underestimate the Americans and Germans?" Studdy stood up and walked towards the chart. Now he must work hard to find a way. It doesn't matter if the Japanese fleet hangs up. , If he hangs up, will he lose?

"I think that from now on, the entire east coast of Australia, and even all the supply ships coming from the Western Pacific, will find it difficult to provide us with supplies, and what is even more frightening is that they may point the US military in our direction." Di picked up the putter and hooked it around the map.

"You have to know that the number of high-speed ships that can carry a large amount of materials for replenishment in the ocean is inherently small, but in the Pacific region, under the situation of fighting, there are even fewer such ships. If strict exclusion and sufficient intelligence are passed It’s not difficult for Americans to screen out suspicious targets, and Americans have enough warships or armed ships to perform search tasks. This way, our supply line will be on the verge of collapse.” Stetti said.

　　 "In the face of this situation, General Betty also has a solution. We have a spare supply fleet, and the departure port of this fleet is New Zealand." Yamamoto put down the documents in his hand and said. "As long as we can receive supplies from New Zealand, then we will have enough fuel to cross the Vietnamese Pacific Ocean and then return to our sphere of influence. This is the last chance. We must stop breaking the diplomatic relationship and transfer the two precious ships. Brought back to Japan."

　　 "What if the direction of New Zealand is also targeted by the Americans?" Stetti said.

　　 "How is it possible? New Zealand is so far from the main battlefield, and we have never sent a supply fleet from anywhere before. They have no reason to do this!" Yamamoto said in a panic.

"Haha? Is there no reason? Since General Betty can think of starting from New Zealand to supply the fleet when necessary, why can't the Germans think of it? I don't think the Germans are stupid than us. Since the Americans have decided to tear their faces with the British, yes. Ships departing from Australia are searched, so why don’t they try to bring New Zealand with them anymore? And New Zealand is just a little bit so it doesn’t need much force.” Studdy said with a smile.

"Grass, what's the situation? Was Betty's so-called emergency plan fooling me at the beginning! Did the British know from the beginning that the final outcome of this broken engagement was annihilation?" When the last fuse was broken , Yamamoto is really scared, after all, no one wants to die. Now he fully feels the gradually tightening fishing net, and may catch them all at any time!

"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet, because I haven't lived enough!" Studdy didn't see any fear on his face. Instead, he patted Yamamoto on the shoulder and signaled him to follow himself to the captain's room. He needs to talk carefully with Yamamoto.

　　 "Do you know why General Betty insisted that the battleship be a group of two?" Studdy said with a smile.

　　 "Isn't it to enhance the combat effectiveness of the formation to deal with the transport fleet with the **** fleet?" Yamamoto said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is naturally one of the reasons. It is also a very important reason. After all, even in the face of destroyers, there are large warships that want to chase the destroyers while hunting merchant ships in a hurry. "Stadi nodded and said: "But the most important point is that the two warships can help each other when they are together. For example, now, if foreign aid is cut off and the US fleet is gradually closing the net, we can at least run One! "

"You mean, let the mountain mist give up its fuel and supplies and give it to us, and then let the mountain mist go to New Zealand for replenishment? If New Zealand does not have a virtue fleet, then the mountain mist that receives the supply can naturally Back to Japan, and if New Zealand is also targeted, then the Virtue Fleet will definitely attack the Yamagiri, and the Yamagiri will become the bait for us to escape?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six suddenly realized.

"Anything comes at a price. In the battle in the Norwegian Sea, Prince Ruprecht asked Hipper to attract our most elite fleet, creating an opportunity for the main force of the High Seas Fleet to defeat the large fleet, which just ended just before. During the Battle of New Ireland, General Su Xiong also gave up the cover of Weimar in order to get the other three Bavarian-class battleships out of trap. Although, in the end, we were not able to sink a Bavarian-class battleship, but there is no doubt about it. , Any outstanding naval commander is a person who is good at giving up! The same is true for General Betty, and I hope you will do the same in the future!" Stetti said meaningfully.
