Chapter 2857: American Fleet One in the Pacific

"No, military cooperation between the United States and Germany will become history. Perhaps the future will not be there anymore. However, the German Navy, as the most powerful maritime power at present, will inevitably keep an eye on the situation of the Pacific War, and the combat fleet will all go back. , But there are still some non-combat ships cruising the ocean in the name of training in the Pacific Ocean. There is no doubt that they are collecting intelligence from all sides.” Ma Jifen said.

"As long as it's not too much, let them go!" Sims sighed. For the Germans, the attitude of the senior U.S. Navy headed by Sims is very complicated. This attitude includes friendship as an ally, admiration and respect for the strong, and fear of being a potential adversary!

In fact, Sims has thought about a problem more than once in his mind. If some kind of agreement can be reached between the United States and Germany, the Germans control Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and the Americans control the entire Americas and the Pacific, respecting each other’s interests and demands. , How nice is everyone to be in peace? In this way, the US Navy can save a lot of trouble. Even if Japan cannot die this time, if there is no potential for the Germans in the future, the US fleet can easily overwhelm the Japanese. But unfortunately, everything now stays on Sims' own assumptions.

"Okay, under the circumstances, we can also intensify relations with the Germans." Ma Jifen agreed with Sims's order. First of all, the Germans did not do anything excessive. On the other hand, Ma Jifen and Germany People spend longer time together and have better relationships with each other.

"I didn't expect that we would actually join the American transport fleet, and then accept the **** of the U.S. Navy." Veron stood on the bridge of the Flying Fish transport ship and watched as the sea was approaching in the distance. The US Transport Fleet said.

Veron is a German, and his Flying Fish is also a German merchant ship. Although military cooperation between the United States and Germany has ceased, civilian commercial trade is still in full swing. In order to meet the needs of normal war and shipping, the Americans also rented German merchant ships at high prices to transport materials. Considering that the Pacific Ocean is not stable, the German fleet serving the United States will also be added to the In the escorted fleet.

"Let’s talk about it, Mr. Ron, from your professional point of view, what do you think the Americans are doing? How do you compare to the British?" Veron said to Ron, who’s true identity is the German Navy. Officer, but now, he is Veron's first officer. His task is to participate in the **** operations of the U.S. Navy and collect intelligence. Compared with the U.S. Navy and the British Navy, the German Navy has hardly carried out large-scale merchant fleet ocean **** operations, and the U.S. Navy’s experience in related fields is very meaningful.

"The level of American **** is very good, almost the highest level on the planet." Veron said, looking at more than 40 transport ships gathered on the vast sea in the distance.

"Well, well, from my perspective as a captain, it is a very remarkable thing for the Americans to manage and control such a large transport fleet. This is a very systematic problem. First of all, they First, design a general-purpose ship, which is moderate in size, low in price, and can be built in a large number of modular ways. The performance of ships produced by the entire US shipyard is almost the same, which makes them very easy to control when sailing. It provides the possibility for the realization of the large formation."

"In addition, the large number of shipboard personnel specially trained by the Americans and the extensively equipped radio equipment have also made the command and coordination of the transport fleet more beneficial. After the flagship responsible for the **** issued an order, all the ship's auxiliary personnel Can cooperate with the captain to complete the dispatch and adjustment quickly, and provide professional advice to the captain when there is another accident. This is very good. Only from the perspective of transportation scheduling, I think the Americans are the absolute world. First-class." Veron gave the Americans a very high evaluation from the perspective of the organization and operation of the fleet, and this aspect is worth learning for the Germans in wartime.

"Yes, the American method of centralized transportation is indeed very effective. From the simplest probability point of view, it is easier to avoid a large fleet than ten small fleets when crossing the same sea area at the same time. The opponent’s attack, and even if it is discovered, there are enough **** warships in the large fleet to cope with most submarine attacks."

"From a military point of view, in the face of such a large transport fleet with seaplanes, a certain number of destroyers and auxiliary cruisers, the submarine's attack will be very bad, because if it remains submerged, it is difficult for the submarine to keep up with the ship. Team, and if the state of surface navigation is maintained, the submarine can’t beat the opponent’s destroyer and auxiliary cruiser. This situation is deadly to the wolves. Especially those seaplanes, which are simply natural enemies of the submarine, they hover in the air. , Enough to make the submarines within tens of kilometers around the fleet dare not show up. Tracking during the day is impossible, let alone siege at night. We can only say that fortunately, the Americans did not stand in the Allies during the war. On one side, otherwise, our situation will be very bad." Ron looked at the American destroyer cruising on the sea and the seaplane in the sky with awe.

"But if the attacker sends a large battleship~www.wuxiaspot.com~, isn't a fleet of this size a feast for the opponent?" Veron thought for a while and said.

"First of all, we need to point out that the real main battleship is a very precious resource. Even in the high seas fleet in its heyday, we only arranged two fast battleships in the Indian Ocean. Most of the other battleships are camouflaged. Assault ships. The combat effectiveness of the camouflage assault ships may not be the opponents of the auxiliary cruisers modified by the Americans, and when you attack this large fleet, the opponent has a quantitative advantage!"

"Secondly, even if you use a real capital ship and successfully block the opponent under the action of various factors, it does not mean that the next hunt will make you very happy. First of all, the opponent has a seaplane. Have you noticed? When the sea conditions and visibility permit, the American seaplanes have been patrolling around the fleet, which allows the fleet to obtain early warning. The Americans can choose to delay the engagement or disband the fleet to evacuate the small number of large warships. In the face of such scattered ships, how many can you catch at most? Most of the transport ships can still escape.” Ron's analysis of the **** system of the US transport fleet is very thorough.
