The Rise of the Empire - Chapter 2865

“Well, as long as we know the time when the water replenishment fleet on Christmas Island is dispatched, then we can naturally send airplanes or small battleships to track it, and if Christmas Island needs to replenish water for the transport fleet, then we will definitely make radio contact. We can try to determine the opponent’s location through radio positioning, coupled with the large number of reconnaissance aircraft on the aircraft carrier, it seems that it is not difficult for us to find the opponent,” Shimamura said with a smile.

“Yes, as long as we focus on this water replenishment station, we can at least intercept and kill a wave of large transport fleets, but your idea is definitely not just for this ticket? Imagine if the Americans suddenly found one of their If dozens of ships in the large transport fleet are ambushed by the large fleet at once, what will they do? At least this route will be suspended and the ships on this route will be required to return or divert immediately. We want to ambush the next one It’s a bit difficult for a ship to ship.” Betty said meaningfully.

“Then your excellency, do you have any thoughts?” Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu asked.

“It’s not easy, naturally I changed the route and continued to catch!” Betty said. This is like a very famous game in later generations, or a type of game, such as LOL or DOTA! As a wandering killer hero, you grabbed one of the opponent’s lines, and then the opponent increased your vigilance and shrank under the tower so that you couldn’t do it. So what should you do? Naturally, I changed the line and continued to catch it! How else? Waiting for nothing? !

“We have said before that the U.S. Navy has two main transportation routes. After we have severely damaged the route through Christmas Island, the Americans will definitely increase the intensity of the route through Pearl Harbor and then to the southwest. In response to this situation , We can consider deploying a submarine cordon in some sea areas. Although it cannot be tracked, we can also know the general navigation data of the other party. At this time, we will rely on the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft to conduct reconnaissance, and we can always catch a fleet. This fleet disbanded ahead of time without receiving the alert, which for us means that more than 200,000 tons of record has been recorded.” Betty said.

“In other words, according to your statement, before the U.S. Navy reacts, we can get two attack opportunities. If we can grasp it well, we may have a record of 400,000 to 500,000 tons? This is really a terrifying figure. If we can do better, it seems that it is not impossible to force the Americans to give in.” At the thought of a transport ship worth hundreds of thousands of tons being killed easily by himself, Hayao Shimamura was also a little drifting. Up.

“500,000 tons? This record is really amazing in terms of quantity, but I can tell you clearly that although this kind of loss is painful in the eyes of the Americans, it is definitely not a painful one. Although the size of the fleet is only the third in the world, its shipbuilding capacity is the world’s first. If the Japanese Navy cannot guarantee the sinking of an average of more than 600,000 tons of ships per month, and it lasts for one year, then it wants to fight at sea. It is impossible to force the United States to yield.”

“You know, the same is breaking the war. The Germans have done a lot better than your country. At the peak of the break at sea, they had sunk more than 800,000 tons of Allied merchant ships every month for six months in a row! The highest record is 950,000 tons! Even so, we still persisted for more than a year!” Betty said, his expression is a bit of contempt for the Japanese, and more is rare and strange!

Although Japan is stronger than in history, at this point in time, Japan is still far behind the real world-class power! Think about it, during the war, the German fleet was fighting with the British fleet in the North Sea while breaking through submarines, eventually destroying the 15 million tons of transport ships of the Allies! Also defeated the British fleet! What a mighty power and result! Where are the Japanese talents?

(In the history of the First World War, the peak of the German warfare seems to be the destruction of 870,000 tons of allied transport ships in one month. In the entire war, the German navy sank a total of 12284,000 tons of allied transport ships! And the Germans Lost 178 submarines. What is the concept? The average loss of one submarine can be exchanged for 30 transport ships with a gross tonnage of 69,000 tons! This result is 4 times and 2 times the exchange ratio of German submarine battles during the Second World War! )

“Uh. But no matter what, if we can achieve this goal, then it will be a big victory.” Shimura Hayao said with some embarrassment.

“That’s right, you can just be happy.” Betty resisted her desire to complain. In Betty’s opinion, there are many high-level tactical officers in the Japanese navy. After all, the Japanese navy has also participated in major wars and fought a lot. As long as they survive, they can learn a lot. It is unique, but the Japanese Navy lacks a true master of strategy. What is strategy? It is strategy that jumps out of tactical success or failure, and reaches the victory or defeat of war!

For example, before the start of the war, Crown Prince Ruprecht sent Earl Spey to the Mediterranean Sea Fleet ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to let Su Xiong take two super fearless ships to the Indian Ocean. This is the strategy! The naval battles were scattered to three battlefields that could not support each other, and the Allied fleet was forced to disperse. The powerful British fleet sent out precious fleets to support these sub-battlefields again and again, which weakened the advantage of the local fleet and made the crown prince repeatedly Seize the opportunity to reverse the disadvantage a little bit. The strategic layout and the tactical success made the British fleet fall into the sand.

However, judging from the current war, the Japanese navy has no shortage of active attacks, but they are mainly tactical tricks, such as night attacks launched to reduce the pressure on the defense of New Ireland. However, there is a lack of a strategic offensive. Relatively speaking, the offensive launched by the Americans on the Tarragon Islands has great strategic significance. Although the tactical level can be described as failure, it defeated Japan’s war potential and won time to advance forward. The American offensive is proactive. And when Betty wanted the Japanese fleet to launch such an offensive, the Japanese did hesitate and hesitate. It is true that the strong national power of the United States allows the US fleet to have a fairly high fault tolerance rate, but the Japanese conservative is also an unavoidable problem.
