The Rise of the Empire - Chapter 2863
However, it is a pity that the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic, because once the strong side gets the initiative on the battlefield, then there will be waves of never-ending attacks. Although the Americans have suffered heavy losses, their strategic advantage is Advantage! They quickly pushed forward on their front, and gradually forced the Japanese combined fleet to choose to retreat or face the front of the US fleet! There is no way out for head-to-head. The only way is to let the Japanese launch another wave of active offensive to bring back the strategic disadvantages before the situation deteriorates to a certain extent. The key to implementing this plan is Betty.
However, in this meeting, the two sides can be said to be very entangled. Although they are the same in their major goals, when faced with this kind of decision, the fate of a country or even an entire region can be determined in a few hours. The suspicion, suspicion, and tactical differences made the whole plan very difficult.
“We have been fighting two wars. One war is how to defeat the Americans in the Pacific, and the other is how to persuade the Japanese.” After the war, Betty responded to Thomas in a gathering of Royal Navy officers. Said.
“Well, if your country can meet our needs for investigation and supplies, then we can consider fighting a war in the East Pacific, but how to cross the cordon of the Americans in the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands is A question that needs to be pondered. After all, even if we have a probability of more than 80%, if we fail, the result will be very tragic.” said Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu.
“This really needs to be carefully considered.” For this question, Betty just has a general idea, and the specific implementation needs to be refined. If no one proposes other new ideas at this time, then the next issue to be discussed is How to cross the American cordon without knowing it, but at this time, an officer with a low official position put forward his own opinion, and this opinion opened everyone’s mind.
“Why do we have to think about how to penetrate the American cordon line from the front without thinking about another way of thinking? For example, from outside the cordon line?” Yamamoto Fifty-Six who has been observing meetings but hardly spoke His first proposal was made during the high-level meeting. However, even with a backstage comparable to steel, his speech still made the seniors present somewhat dissatisfied.
“Listen well, a newcomer is not suitable for overly expressing his sense of existence in this kind of meeting.” Suzuki Kantarou said.
“Go around? This idea is interesting, so I might as well make it clear.” At this moment, Stetti, who had worked with Yamamoto, extended a helping hand, and with Stetti’s support, Yamamoto Fifty Six Was able to tell all his plans.
“I used to be mainly engaged in break-up operations. After I was lucky enough to withdraw from the battlefield, I have been studying the data and reports of break-up operations. Then I found a very interesting problem, that is, in the second half of the break-up operation. As long as the broken ship trying to return from the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands, whether it is a surface warship or a submarine, the probability of loss is 30% higher than that of ships returning from other directions. This probability is even higher than those passing through the Coral Sea and crossing York. Kokaku’s ship loss probability is even higher. You should be very clear that in the late stage of the war, the US Navy has even approached the Australian coast. Don’t you feel that this data is abnormal?” Yamamoto said.
“Is this all the statistics or part of the data?” Betty frowned upon hearing this. After all, what he had been responsible for was the battle of the large fleet. Not much attention was paid to the breaking of the relationship, and Stetti was also directly responsible after returning. The big fleet is fighting, and the contact with the broken fleet is limited. In this case, Betty will naturally suspect.
“It’s all the data. If you don’t believe it, you can check the relevant records. The data will not lie. If such a set of abnormal data appears, then there must be a reason.” Yamamoto said.
“So, did you find the reason?” Studdy said unexpectedly.
“Yes, I recently reviewed the reports of long-range reconnaissance aircraft and submarines. These reports all mention a problem. The Americans seem to have strengthened the military forces in the Eastern Caroline Islands. I think we broke the ship too high. The loss rate has something to do with the increase in military power in the Caroline Islands!”
“Fuck!” After Yamamoto Fifty-Six said these words, Betty felt cold, because as an excellent naval officer, he naturally knew what it meant for the U.S. Navy to strengthen its military power in the eastern Caroline Islands. .
In fact, by looking at the map, you can understand that the range of walking in the Caroline Islands is very large. The Caroline Islands are already close to the Marshall Islands to the east, and the Palau Islands to the west are close to Palau, and the Philippines to the west is the Philippines. So, if the Americans increase their military power in the eastern Caroline Islands, then the Caroline Islands will be a horizontal line, while the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands will be a vertical line! This one can determine a face! If this happens, what the Japanese fleet needs to avoid is not just the Marshall Islands-Gilbert Islands cordon, but a side! If this happens, the probability of being discovered when the fleet passes by will greatly increase!
“This problem is really serious. We may need to think about the safety of the entire plan~www.mtlnovel.com~ said Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu.
“I agree that we must at least figure out the military deployment of the Caroline Islands before we can make a decision. I suggest that we deploy our V1500 long-range patrol aircraft in the Mariana Islands and use it as a base for reconnaissance.” Mura Hayao said.
“It’s too late. The deployment of large long-range reconnaissance aircraft is a very tedious task. We don’t have that time to prepare.” Betty shook her head and said. This is the truth. After all, even if the runway can be made up, you can repair and accommodate those. How do you get the hangar and repair shop of the V1500 long-range patrol aircraft? How to solve the equipment installation and debugging? This cannot be solved in a short time for Japan!
“Actually, after analyzing the two routes between the northern Bismarck Islands and the Coral Sea, I think we already have a choice. If we enter the Arafura Sea in northern Australia and then cross the Torres Strait and enter the Coral Sea, the safety will be better. Better, after all, our previous statistics support this.” Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
