Chapter 2864: Line two

"Think about it, in fact, this route is very safe. From a military point of view, the Arafura Sea actually belongs to our inland sea. There is no American military power within a few hundred kilometers around here, and we can use southern New Guinea. The aviation resources of the United States carry out investigations. If the Americans act, they will definitely be hidden from our eyes."

"From a geographical point of view, the Torres Strait, which connects the Arafura Sea and the Coral Sea, is one of the most dangerous straits in the world. There are dense reefs, and the shallowest place is only 14 meters. It is impossible for the US fleet to enter this sea. On the one hand, this is considered to be your country’s inland waters. Although the Americans are rampant, they have not declared war with your country. On the other hand, they lack the hydrological data of the Torres Strait. In this way, it is easy to encounter submerged reefs while diving. The two submarines we lost in this area thought this was the reason!"

"Well, if we can smoothly pass through the Arafura Sea and Torres Strait, and enter the Coral Sea, then everything will be different. You should be clear that the Coral Sea is the largest sea in the world. The U.S. fleet was hit hard and its forces shrunk to the north. Their alert force in the secondary strategic direction of the Coral Sea must be very poor. After we entered the Coral Sea, we jumped in the ocean!" Yamamoto said.

"But the Americans have captured Lae, and Lae is not far from the Torres Strait in a straight line, within the range of the American bombers," said Kantarou Suzuki.

"The premise is that they can think that we will enter the East Pacific from here! And if we have enough hydrological data, we choose to cross the Torres Strait at night, or use weather cover to cross the strait, then all aerial reconnaissance is not to be afraid of, after all, ours The maximum average speed of the fleet can reach more than 23 knots. If calculated in 10 hours, we can sail about 420 kilometers in one night! The entire Torres Strait is only 130 kilometers long!" Yamamoto said.

"This idea is very good. The Americans will not cross over our territory to conduct blatant aerial reconnaissance in the Torres Strait. Underwater submarines naturally have reefs and shallows to deal with, and surface ships can also be avoided by reconnaissance. If some time in the future If the internal weather conditions are favorable, I think we can really try this route between New Guinea and Australia."

Betty still supports Yamamoto Fifty Six's idea. He has a radical and warlike gene in his bones. Although this plan has certain risks, the probability of success is still relatively high. The most important thing is that this will Greatly shorten the voyage of the fleet from Australia to supply the Japanese fleet! If the supply can be completed in the Coral Sea, why bother to enter the depths of the Eastern Pacific?

Although Betty is a bit arrogant, he is also very pragmatic. He will not be dissatisfied with a newcomer who denied the plan he proposed before. Well, maybe it will be a little depressed, but after experiencing too many things, Betty is not Will mix personal factors in the war.

"We can collect some information first, and then demonstrate the safety of the two routes. The Meteorological Department will collect information on the Torres Strait, and our maritime and air forces deployed in northern Australia will also conduct preliminary reconnaissance. Of course, we are in Australia. The eastern port city of Brisbane will also be ready for oil tankers.” Although Betty said verbally that two routes should be considered, from the subsequent reaction, he has agreed with Yamamoto 56.

"In fact, if we still feel unsafe, we can throw some decoys. For example, the Pisa-class armored cruiser we ordered from Italy must be in place. If we send out two armored cruisers to pretend to break the relationship, then the U.S. Navy A considerable part of the strength and attention will inevitably be concentrated on the northern line. In this case, we will be much more stable when we enter the eastern Pacific from the southern line." Stidi said

"Are the two armored cruisers used as decoys? The price of this decoy is a bit higher, and it will cost you less than £4 million!" Shimura Hayao said in his heart. Shimamura still feels distressed about the two new ships he just bought. Yes, but if the plan is successful, the benefits will be very, very large. This time is not the time to save this little bait money.

"I think it is possible. For specific navigation issues, we need to wait for relevant information and then make special plans. Then there is still a question, how do we capture the large American transport fleet? Although we know that Christmas Island may It's an important transit point, but if we approach Christmas Island for reconnaissance, we might be horrified, right?" asked Shitaro Yoshimatsu.

"We have made relevant arrangements. In fact, the Americans are doing better than we thought in terms of confidentiality and supply. The fleet is too large and it will be difficult to enter Christmas Island for supply, so they thought of a A very special method is to deploy a special water replenishment fleet on Christmas Island. When the large transport fleet passes by the waters around Christmas Island, there will be water replenishment ships to join the fleet, and then water pipes to the large transport ships. Replenish the treated fresh water. In this way, most of the fleet can replenish while sailing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which saves time and ensures concealment.” Betty said.

"Fuck, can the Americans still operate like this?" After hearing Betty's explanation, a group of Japanese officers said that the Americans are really amazing...

"Then I want to know how your country knows about these things? If I remember correctly, the aborigines of Christmas Island are not controlled by the US Navy, right? US Navy personnel account for the majority of the entire island, even if intelligence is collected. It might be difficult to disseminate it, right?” The Japanese were shocked by the ability of the Americans to supply them, but at the same time, the Japanese were even more shocked and very curious about the ability of the British to obtain such detailed information! How did Betty get this information?

"Well, although Christmas Island is lonely overseas, it is also an island with a size of 135 square kilometers. It is still possible to find a special place to land on the island. Although the Americans have done a good job, they are still on board. The time on this island is too short. In addition to building a supply base, there are still many things they haven't had time to do. This time we are considered to have missed it." Although Betty's words are relatively modest, anyone can see the pride Come out!
