Chapter 300: Japanese One

"It's all like this. If Virtue is going to fight in World War I, what a big accident will happen!" When Ma Jifen asked this question, the prince even suspected that his ears had misheard, the United States of America. How did you come together with the German Empire of Poisonous Vegetables? This conflict is too big.

  Well, think about the relationship between the American emperor and the Arab princes on another plane. The prince is relieved once again. Without it, it is only for profit! As far as the current American diplomatic environment and international status are concerned, not to mention that Germany is a monarchy, even if it is a slavery system, it must be wooed!

The prince is convinced that as far as the current relationship between the United States and Germany is concerned, as long as the Anglo-Japanese alliance does not disintegrate, as long as Japan still occupies the Philippines and blocks the passage of the United States into the Far East, then the United States will not be able to reconcile with Britain and Japan. Then it will join the Allied Powers during the First World War. The possibility is even less!

  It is unlikely that the United States will participate in the Allies and the opening of the British and French films. It is not that the United States does not have this strength, but because it is difficult for them to fight against the powerful countries without being greatly stimulated by the US political system! But even so, it does not mean that the US Navy has nothing to do with Germany.

  The reason is very simple. The Americans may not officially start a fight with the Allied Powers, but the United States that wants to enter East Asia will definitely not deal with the Japanese! Let’s not talk about whether we can fight, as long as we can contain the Japanese fleet! In history, the Japanese Navy participated in many operations in the Mediterranean. Although it did not send its main battleship to participate in the engagement in the North Sea, the prince must also be prepared to deal with this situation.

  After all, the Japanese must understand that if Germany did not fall in World War I, Germany would definitely liquidate what Japan did in the Far East during the war. The German Pacific colony was taken away by Japan! If the British really fail, then Japan might indeed send their super dreadnought ships to Europe!

  In history, before the end of World War 1, the Japanese also made up 8 super fearless, 4 12-gun Gods, and 4 King Kong are also a terrifying force! Not comparable to Britain, Germany and the United States, but much higher than other powers! If the Betty fleet plus 4 King Kongs, Hipper would be in trouble here! The biggest trouble for people, the addition of the Japanese fleet will greatly enhance the maritime **** capabilities of the Allied Powers, and this will lead to a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the German Navy's most deadly battle-breaking operation.

  So, in order for the German Empire to successfully win the First World War, the U.S. Navy still needs to work harder! At least not let the Japanese Navy feel too leisurely! But that being said, the geographic problems of Americans on this plane are really serious. The prince is unwilling to comment on how correct Mahan’s theory of sea power is, but at least that sentence, the sad geographic environment cannot use the fleet. To make up for this sentence, the prince thinks it is the truth in this era!

  Without the Philippines, even Guam and American Samoa have been lost. Hawaii has not yet been included in the territory of the United States. Of course, if this American action satisfies the Germans, the United States will soon get Hawaii. But even so, in an era when warships still use kerosene mixed burning, it is still not an easy task for a large fleet to cross such a long distance into the Far East without supplies.

  The battle of the Great Fleet is different from the Great White Fleet’s voyage around the world, and it is also different from the desperate journey of the German Far East Fleet in history. The materials and logistics needed can be described as terror! This is not simply a matter of bringing enough fuel and food! After the long voyage, the aging of the machinery and the exhaustion of the personnel were enough to make this fleet lose most of its combat effectiveness. The experience of the Russian fleet in the Battle of Tsushima in history, and the final battle of Earl Spey, could only run less than 15 knots. The armored cruiser is the best illustration!

  The 23-knot armored cruiser finally can't run 15 knots! What kind of combat power can it have when it looks like this? The American fleet agrees that this problem exists. There is no relay port and no supplies. In the face of the powerful Japanese fleet, it seems that the Americans can't do much!

"If the cooperation between us can continue to deepen, then the fleet of the United States should be able to be deployed in the Marshall Islands, German Samoa, and the land of Emperor William in the future, is this the case?" Majifen asked tentatively, because this kind of problem is very It may cause disgust from the other party, so he said it very carefully.

"There is no problem for the fleet of the United States to be stationed in the empire's Far Eastern territories in peacetime. This does have a certain impact on Japan, but if war starts, a fragile island chain system that your country has painstakingly managed will have no effect at all. "The prince overruled the other party's hypothesis without mercy.

   "Because it is very simple, these islands only solve the problem of existence, and cannot really form combat effectiveness. In addition to some political issues, the most important thing is the distance and island facilities!"

"Although the Marshall Islands is relatively close to Hawaii, the straight-line distance is about 3,200 kilometers! If it is a large fleet sailing, it will take about 180 hours to arrive. This is still calculated according to the straight line. This is 7 It’s 8 days. And this is just reaching the edge of Japan’s power."

"The core line of the Japanese defense extends from the mainland, the Ogasawara Islands, to the Philippines~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If your country wants to strike against it, you will need to travel thousands of kilometers, regardless of whether it is in the Marshall Islands. Still in the Caroline Islands, your country’s fleet is still unable to get enough supplies and maintenance. Faced with the Japanese fleet waiting to work in the Philippines, the odds of winning are still not great."

"At least I saw that under the current circumstances, it is a dead end to use the large fleet to seek a breakthrough in the central Pacific. Although the engagement in the central Pacific is important, it is definitely not so big. If your country really wants to defeat the opponent through the large fleet If you choose, the direction you choose should be the northern part of the Pacific Ocean! And your starting position should be here!"

  Prince Ruprecht pressed his hand heavily on the Aleutian Islands. "If the fleet departs from here, the distance will be much closer, and the fleet of the United States will directly attack Japan's most vulnerable place!"

  “However, the natural environment of the Aleutian Islands is very bad. Although there is a warm current that makes the port situation relatively good, the construction is a very long process.” Majifen said with some embarrassment.

"The most important thing is that the best alternative port we have ever chosen, Holland Port, is still too far away from Japan." Americans have not thought about this problem, but compared to the beautiful Hawaii and Marshall Islands, Americans are still Look down on the bitter cold places in the north.
