The Rise of the Empire - Chapter 2878

That’s right, it’s calculated like this. The fuel needed for a cruise ship to go directly to the front line and arrive at Pearl Harbor is definitely different. And this kind of troop carrier generally takes two routes, one is to arrive in Hawaii, and the other is to send soldiers directly to the Bismarck Islands. It is completely impossible for this kind of cruise ship to go to other Pacific islands. After all, there is no need for other islands to deploy nearly 10,000 American soldiers at once? What are they doing to those islands? Bask in the sun?

After mastering this information, combined with the British Royal Navy’s maritime reconnaissance operations, it is possible for the British and Japanese navies to intercept and kill U.S. maritime transport ships. Of course, whether this can be done in detail or not. Look at the front-line operations of the US and Japanese navies.

So it’s not too much for Michael to say that his intelligence determines the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. There are thousands of people in a large transport fleet (including the **** fleet), and if it can really catch If you live on a US Navy troop carrier, then more than 7,000 US Army officers and soldiers can be eliminated from this war, whether it is capture or massacre!

If only looking at it now, the British Navy’s intelligence collection work on the United States can already be described by 70 points, whether it is maritime investigations or the collection of domestic transportation information in the United States, the British’s practices are completely excellent, but even so In order to effectively intercept and kill the American transport fleet, it was still a little bit worse, so the British decided to make this matter 90 points!

The US Navy’s water replenishment base on Christmas Island that both Betty and Yoshimatsu could think of, how could the British intelligence agency not think of it? The last detail of the British intelligence work on the U.S. Navy transport fleet is the issue of the water supply ship on Christmas Island! And this time, the British were also good enough, not only the intelligence staff, but even the regular naval submarines were dispatched!

“Gentlemen, our end has come. The navy brothers sent us here, and the rest is up to us.” On the K4 submarine of the Royal Navy, Major Wintour said to his men.

If you want to know the operating conditions of the US Navy ships on Christmas Island, the best way is naturally to board the island directly to see the situation. Although the Americans controlled the island, they did not deploy much military force. After all, it was far away from the battlefield and was just occupied. Therefore, in addition to the staff, the regular combat troops here are only 200 people. And 200 people wanting to control this island with an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers is obviously joking. There are a large number of unmanned areas on the coast of the island where you can choose to land, and the task force led by Major Wintour is to board the island, collect intelligence, and then send out relevant information.

Well, now there is a problem. Even if the British carry a transmitter, it is absolutely impossible to directly keep in touch with the nearest British radio station. After all, the distance is a little far away, so how to solve this problem? As a result, the method fell on the K4 submarine.

After the K4 submarine sent Major Wintour’s contingent to Christmas Island, he would not leave. He would hide in the waters around the island during the day, and would surface at night, and then receive a telegram from Major Wintour, accept After that, the large-scale radio on the submarine was used to send out the information. After several transfers, it was finally sent to the British Royal Navy and the Japanese Navy.

The K4 submarine is also responsible for the preparation of supplementary supplies and weapons for the contingent members, and then the withdrawal of these personnel when necessary. As for how long the K4 submarine and Major Wintour’s task force can support? The answer is at least half a year! The K4 submarine is almost the largest submarine built by the Royal Navy in World War I, with a surface displacement of 1,980 tons. The underwater displacement is as high as 2566 tons, originally equipped with 10 18-inch torpedo tubes. After the war, the submarine was improved, a large number of weapons were removed, and the space saved was used to accommodate fuel, supplies, and special equipment. The K4 submarine is almost the largest special purpose submarine in the British Navy.

From this we can see that the British had done enough for this operation. Of course, the British had to make the worst plans. For example, if they failed this time, what if the intelligence personnel were caught by the Americans? Although the British stand with the Japanese, they will never be directly involved in large-scale armed conflicts.

Therefore, apart from preparing a cyanide poison for everyone in the Royal Navy, no one in Major Wintour’s task force is of British nationality. Among them, there are Japanese, Southeast Asians, and the officers who lead the team. He also became a person from another country not long ago, such as Major Wintour, if he is to verify his identity, he is a “Russian”! The yellow people in the task force are naturally from Asia, while most of the white people have a South American or Russian nationality!

After observing the surrounding sea with a periscope and confirming the safety, the K4 submarine emerged from the water. The captain personally led the team on the deck while observing the surrounding waters. Then Major Wintour and his team led Their respective equipment arrived on the deck, and they used inflatable kayaks as a means of transportation to complete the last part of the journey before logging in. Weapons, ammunition, food, radio and ancillary tools, fuel, tents and other supplies were moved to the inflated boat. After checking the items for the last time, the 15-person team left the K4 submarine.

“I wish you all the best~www.mtlnovel.com~In a few months, I hope that I will pick you all back safely.” The captain of the K4 submarine said before leaving, holding Major Wintour’s hands.

“Try your best, you have to be careful, the surrounding waters are not absolutely safe, and some American warships will pass by here.” Major Wintour said.

An hour later, the major and his team arrived at the pre-selected landing site. They hid the kayak in a culvert, while the others were led by the guide towards the predetermined area, which was on the side of a mountain. , Hidden among the rocks and trees. If they want to observe the situation in the port area, they can see it with a telescope on the top of the mountain, and if they want to retreat, they can quickly retreat to the hidden kayak through the pre-selected passage, and then leave this place. islands.

This team is divided into two groups. One group is responsible for observing the actions of American ships in the port with telescopes, while the other group is responsible for monitoring the radio communications of the US military through radio equipment. They may not be able to decipher the specific content of the telegram, but at least they can find some rules.
