"What's the reason?" Sims asked.&1t;/p>

"Because the artillery ablation is so severe that now, we are all considering whether to replace the 14-inch 145 artillery." Majifen said with a wry smile. Now Majifen's meaning is very clear. Every fearless ship of the US Navy has more or less problems. In addition to Pennsylvania's ability to rely on delays to overcome the disturbance of the Triple's main gun gun muzzle, whether it is the ammunition depot temperature of the New York-class battleship or the artillery walks in New Mexico and Tennessee, it is not possible to solve it in a short time. Therefore, the US Navy actually distrusts its main ship's performance. If it does not trust, it will naturally not send them to the European battlefield to embarrass!&1t;/p>

"So, if we produce fast battleships in large quantities, we may encounter more problems? Not only artillery problems, but also power problems?" Sims asked.&1t;/p>

"That's right, even if the top industrial powers like Britain and Germany cannot avoid the power problem of fast battleships, it is difficult for us to avoid it. Therefore, in order to reduce technical risks, we finally chose to use the German fleet to make up for the lack of our fast fleet when fighting against the Japanese fleet. As for battleships, our requirements are very simple, and we do not require us to produce a high output, but we must resist beatings." Majifen smiled bitterly.&1t;/p>

In this era, fast battleships and battlecruisers were also considered new high-tech equipment, so it is normal for NB industrial countries to have some problems. For example, in history, the Goben battlecruisers had a crack in their pipelines during high navigation. The British also had similar problems. The Moltke also dropped propellers during navigation.&1t;/p>

Therefore, when both the English and Germans can't play well, the Americans can only be more conservative. After all, the Germans play at their own doorstep. The English [31 Novel Network] Chinese people have military bases all over the world, while the Americans have to run a distance from the Pacific Ocean to fight against the enemy. The power problems of the fast warships between the British and German sides can be remedied. If there is a problem with the power of the American warship in the vast Pacific Ocean, there is no village in front of the village and the store behind them, what should I do?&1t;/p>

Maybe someone asked, why do Japanese people, who are far inferior to those in industry, dare to play fast battleships? Is the reason very simple? Even if they are marked with domestic battleships, from main guns to fire control, from boilers to turbines, Japan's Fuso-class battleships are full of British goods. By the way, there are also some electrical equipment on them, and there may be German goods... If the self-production rate is really about the same as the so-called F2 in later generations. Moreover, the Japanese are also fighting at their own doorsteps, and some problems can be tolerated. But the things on the American battleships are really almost 100% self-produced! If you don't pursue completely self-produced, the New York-class battleships would not use steam engines!&1t;/p>

And now, Americans feel that their technical accumulation is basically enough, so they dare to board battle cruisers. For example, the current Lexington-class battlecruiser is like this. He and the South Dakota-class battleship will become the backbone of the US Navy in the future! Of course, it will take a long time to wait for these two-class battleships to serve. At least Sims believes that this war may not be used...&1t;/p>

"So, even in the plans we have made in the future, the German Navy is an indispensable part. This time, we send a fleet to the war, and learn more about how to cooperate with future allies, learn from experience and lessons, and do our job well. Perhaps in the future Pacific War, the United States' aircraft carrier detachment will be of great power, but this time, we only need to do a good job of reconnaissance and air defense. Do you understand?" Majifen asked at the end.&1t;/p>

"Maybe in the plan of the Admiralty, in the future, the Germans will play half of the role in fighting Japan? However, we cannot just serve as shields, but let the Germans become our swords? This feeling is simply awful." Sims said.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, there will be no shortage of war. After all, as long as the Japanese are not stupid, they will definitely try every means to avoid the Germans and cause trouble for us. By then, no matter whether we are ready or not, we will be on the court." Majiphin said.&1t;/p>

"Then the technical problems you mentioned just now?" Sims asked.&1t;/p>

"Try to solve it as much as possible. If it cannot be solved, just make do with it." Majifen said with a wry smile.&1t;/p>

"This is really a bit bad." Sims, after learning some shady stories, was quite worried about the prospect.&1t;/p>

"Okay, General Sims, the situation is not as bad as you think. In fact, there are many American pilots on the German aircraft carrier, and our officers and soldiers on the battle line. After experiencing actual combat baptism, they will be the precious wealth of the United States Navy. When they return to serve, I believe that the combat effectiveness of the navy will be greatly improved. Perhaps in the future war, the performance of the United States aircraft carrier team will be more dazzling than the battleship team." Majifen said with a smile. After a long time of attack, you must always give hope. Otherwise, the entire talks will be too dark?&1t;/p>

In fact, the US Navy is also very strong, at least in the top four in the world. In short, Majiphin means that although the road is a bit bumpy, the future is bright.&1t;/p>

"So when will the final decisive battle begin? When will we start a war with the Japanese after the war in Europe end?" Sims asked.&1t;/p>

"According to my guess, the final battle will be decided within a month and a half. Don't ask me why, this is just my intuition. As for when will we go to war with the Japanese? I feel that it will be at least one and a half years after the war ends." Majifen said.&1t;/p>

"It's actually going to wait for that long?" Sims said with some surprise. After all, in his opinion, after the war, the German fleet would just strike while the iron was hot and the American fleet would be cleaned up. Then would it take so long to wait?&1t;/p>

"First, after the war in Western Europe ended, the belligerent countries needed negotiations, and then Germany needed to implement their own benefits. They needed to collect compensation, take over the colonies and various aftermath work. Second, our government always had some differences with Germany on the issue of handling the Allies, and this would inevitably affect the situation of Germany's participation in the war. Third, it was the issue of the new Russian regime. We wanted the Russians to stand on our side, but the Germans might not be willing!"&1t;/p>

"So, it's been a year and a half. In fact, it's possible to use force against the Japanese two years after the peace agreement is signed!" Majifen said meaningfully. War is a continuation of politics, so the wheels of war may not turn until some political issues are resolved!&1t;/p>
