"The size of the submarine force of the High Seas Fleet has been reduced now, and it is unlikely to be transferred from active personnel. If your country is willing to choose some of the retired personnel of the High Seas Fleet, it can be recruited voluntarily. I need to emphasize that all personnel who go to the Pacific region to serve your country's navy have the right to choose whether to join the front-line battlefield." Ruprecht said.

"Okay, we can agree to this condition," said Majifen.

"What about aviation personnel? Can we choose aviation personnel according to the relevant terms of naval personnel?" asked Majifen.

"It can also work like this," said the crown prince.

"Have you really not considered sending the Bavarian Army to war? If your country or other states within the German Empire are willing to send the army, then the rewards given to the United States of America will definitely satisfy you." Majiphin asked.

When negotiating with the Americans, Ruprecht also mentioned that he could consider sending the army to participate in large-scale warfare, but now, the Bavarian Kingdom has not taken any actual actions. From the current perspective, the German army's large-scale entry into the Pacific battlefield seems a bit far away.

"There is no such plan for the time being. After all, our army is suitable for fighting on the European continent, not on distant tropical islands. Large-scale reductions in personnel due to the environment and climate are a problem for both of us. We have dispatched small-scale teaching regiments and will participate in frontline operations to a certain extent. This is our current limit. You should be clear that the empire has also lost millions of people in this war. We also need to recuperate." The crown prince said.

"That's a pity." Majifen said with some regret.

"Then do you have anything else to remind you?" Majiphin asked at the end of the talks.

"No, after all, we have no research on this situation, and we have no practical experience. In the Pacific, your country has more experience." The crown prince shook his head and said. However, this sentence felt a little uncomfortable in Majifen's ears. The reason is very simple. So far, the United States has failed in the Pacific, except for dealing with the weak Spain. To be precise, it should be that there is more experience in being beaten...

"You still haven't said anything yet." After seeing off Majifen, Su Xiong did not leave, but followed the crown prince back to the office.

Of course, the crown prince did not say some important words, let alone the current relationship between the United States and Germany is just a relationship of fulfilling previous rights and obligations. Even true allies cannot be said now. At least it will take a long time to let the Americans suffer some pain before revealing some. Of course, there is a prerequisite that is, Japan must defeat! This is not only related to the interests and face of the United States in the Pacific, but also pays attention to the reputation and dignity of the German Empire!

After Germany defeated the enemy in Europe, Japan in the Far East could not be let go! Japan's behavior in the war must be compensated for the losses caused to Germany after the war! Therefore, if the Americans are really in a dilemma, the crown prince will still give a point. Of course, whether this kind of point is OK depends on the situation, at least it is not suitable now.

"Yes, there are still some things that have not been said. We don't know the specific plan of the Americans, but from Majiffen I feel that it is a bit aggressive in strategy and a bit conservative in tacticality." The crown prince thought for a while and said. "There is no need to say more about strategic aggressiveness. The Americans can explain this problem by taking two steps together into one step. As for tactical conservatism, Majiffen has always emphasized that the Navy takes the basic mission of ensuring the landing of the army and establishing a sea and air base in this war. He did not propose to take the initiative and lead the fleet into the Japanese naval controlled area to launch active attacks. This passive tactical situation is not good. After all, only attack can better gain the initiative."

"But the US Navy lacks fast warships and cannot run 25 nautical miles in an hour like the High Seas Fleet. Most of their main battleships have a speed of only 20 knots." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"Admiral Su Xiong, I want to tell you that in this war, the naval strategy and tactics are in a critical period of transformation. A converter of naval power from gunboats to naval aviation power is a converter. Even in the Norwegian naval battle, the aircraft carrier is just an auxiliary force. However, in the future Pacific War, the role of aircraft carriers will be greatly enhanced, and the role of battleships will be further weakened."

"So, the future fast maritime battle group does not require too many fast battleships. The role of battleships is more to deal with night battles and provide escort for aircraft carriers, and serve as an important air defense center. Of course, this process will be very long, but we can start preparing and familiarizing ourselves with all this now."

"The US Navy has no problem with the strategy formulated in the early stages of the war, because the Japanese Navy was in good condition at this time, with a large number of fast main ships and a high attendance rate. Although the US and German fleets have an overall numerical advantage, they may not have an advantage in actual combat due to their scattered deployment. It is understandable to fight conservatively at this time."

"However, when the war reaches a certain level, the situation is different. Japan cannot withstand a long war of attrition than the United States! In terms of warships themselves, the Japanese steam turbines were completely imported, and under our restrictions, the production of British steam turbines was compressed. In warfare, the Japanese warship power problem was a key factor restricting Japan's continued combat effectiveness. Of course, the same is true for aviation engines. In terms of boilers, the Japanese also used small water pipe boilers for performance. Our warships had difficulties in maintaining their warships, and Japan also had them. Therefore, it can be foreseen that the attendance rate of the Japanese Navy will drop significantly after a certain level of war. If there is a war loss, then a window period may occur after a major naval battle." The crown prince said.

"The Americans may have thought of this issue. They also mentioned in the document the idea of ​​taking advantage of the fatigue of the Japanese Navy to step up the offensive. The US Navy even expected that if the battle went smoothly, after the battle was resolved, the US military would compress the rest period of the battle and quickly march towards the Guinea island." General Su Xiong said.
