Chapter 2859: US Fleet III in the Pacific

From a safety point of view, a high-speed cruise ship operating alone will hardly be attacked by a submarine at high speed. Even if it encounters a so-called battleship, as long as there is a certain amount of warning, the probability of throwing away opponents at high speed is very high. Therefore, it is almost the safest and fastest way to transport personnel on high-speed cruise ships. Of course, it may also be regarded as the most comfortable way!

Well, although the U.S. Army attaches great importance to the personal feelings of soldiers, no matter what, the internal facilities and furnishings on the original cruise ship must be changed. After all, you have to transport as many people as possible to fight at once, instead of letting them travel. …….

All the decorations in the hull were cleaned up, and then all kinds of wooden furniture and excessive cotton fabrics. These things are potential factors that may cause fires, so they must be cleaned. This is not over. The Americans will need to re-paint the fire protection layer and re-inspect, maintain and rearrange some of the lines inside the hull to avoid adverse consequences after being attacked.

Then some cabins inside the hull were redesigned. The comfortable guest rooms were placed with a large number of double or even triple beds. The originally comfortable two-person room is now packed like a can to approach a dozen soldiers. Various huge restaurants and dance venues have also been rearranged. As a result, a ship that originally accommodated more than 2,000 passengers was forced into it with more than 9,000 soldiers! The number of front-line combat personnel in an American division is not that much.

The Americans also felt that the ship’s changes were not thorough enough. While making major changes without destroying the hull structure internally, the Americans hesitated considering the possibility of lightning strikes by the Japanese fleet or mines at the port entrances and exits during maritime navigation. After a while, large-scale lightning protection protrusions were installed on both sides of the hull. Although the speed was reduced, it was stronger!

For such a ship that is related to the life and death of close to five-figure personnel, the U.S. Navy is naturally very important. Therefore, all personnel on board must be native personnel who have lived in the United States for more than three generations. As for the professional level, it is even more important. Needless to say, they are absolutely superb!

However, at this time, the large personnel carrier, which has been renamed the Trident, is also loading its first passengers. The booms on both sides of the tall hull have placed a large amount of food and other materials on the ship, and then transferred to the ship. In the warehouse, thousands of U.S. Navy personnel are climbing along the net ladders hanging down on both sides of the ship’s side to the surface of the ship. Their time is very tight. Before the sunset, the transport ship Trident will be with the accompanying light. The cruiser left the port and entered the high seas at night. After that, they would go directly to Hawaii at a high speed of 22 knots. In the process, they said that they rarely communicate with the outside world and only contact the shore when they enter the port. Therefore, relying on high speed and radio silence, the safety of this ship is very high.

"All the personnel have been on board, and the preparation measures have been taken. The light cruiser Princeton asked us whether we can set off." The chief officer reported to the captain.

"You can go." The captain nodded and said. Half an hour later, under the leadership of the guide ship, the Trident and the accompanying light cruiser Preston left the harbor and sailed towards the open sea. At this time, what they could not think of was that on a building outside the port, a pair of sharp eyes was staring at the fleet leaving in the distance.

"Generally speaking, Americans have very high maritime efficiency and high security. In addition to strict controls on transportation, Americans are also very serious about coastal defense. You know, in fact, for submarine forces. It is said that the efficiency of ambushes near the opponent’s place of departure and destination is very high. It is very difficult to intercept merchant ships on the vast ocean by relying on the limited search capabilities of submarines, unless we can make a breakthrough in intelligence." At the same time as the Trident’s maiden voyage, the Japanese Navy and the British were also discussing how to break diplomatic relations more efficiently at the Philippine-Japanese combined fleet station thousands of miles away. Broke the fleet record.

"They will arrange a large number of seaplanes and airships to patrol the offshore waters. According to our intelligence, the US Navy has invested no less than 100 various airships and more than 800 various aircraft to perform anti-submarine missions. At the same time, the sea will also There are anti-submarine ships patrolling. As for the shipwreck barriers, anti-submarine nets and minefields outside the port, it is even more indispensable. In this case, it is very difficult for us to ambush our opponents offshore." Shimura continued.

"Well, you said a lot of reasons. These reasons are very sufficient, enough to justify our submarine forces." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu said with some dissatisfaction: "We will not blame the past, but what should we do in the future? In the next operation, our initial target is the American transport fleet, so I hope we can make a big ticket this time! Discover their transport fleet and take a bite!"

"How much meat do you plan to eat in this bite?" Betty asked.

"Of course the bigger the better." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu replied very simply.

"Then our first ambush location should be in this sea area!" Betty stood up and walked to the huge chart ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then spent a circle on the dense route of the East Pacific.

"You mean, we are going to enter the eastern Pacific under the control of the Americans to carry out break-up operations? We may even approach the west coast of the United States? This is too... risky." Shigeru Yoshimatsu was stunned. He didn't expect Betty to be brave. It's so big, it's more courageous, or even more deadly than the night battle in New Ireland!

After all, the night battle on New Ireland Island uses weather factors to move in and out quickly, and it has not been exposed to the enemy for a long time. But this time, the Japanese fleet actually has to travel far into the ocean and enter the range of American control. Not to mention anything else, the supply of the fleet is a big problem! Once discovered, the consequences are definitely not optimistic.

"Are you adventurous? Think about it. The Americans dare to cross our fortified areas and enter Tarragon Island and blow it into a sea of ​​flames. Why can't we hit their transport ships in the waters controlled by the Americans? More expansive There is more space for maneuvering on the sea, and we are safer. If we can't show the courage of the American fleet, then this battle will not be launched!" Betty said.
