As a qualified member of the foreign military expedition, Major General Karls did not do anything to tell the Americans how the Germans used their troops to deal with the Allies. Because the United States is not Germany, Britain and France are not Japan, there are huge differences between them. The Germans fought large-scale field wars, as well as the trench war and breakthrough wars derived from it. The troops were mainly heavy firepower and heavy armor. But the Americans did not need it, they fought island-grabbing wars and jungle wars. Japan's industry was far less than Britain and France. Therefore, a correct model should be that Major General Karls should base himself on the existing equipment and organization of the US military to help the Americans find solutions.

So, what Marshall said makes sense. But what Major General Carls said is correct. The Americans only considered Japan's industry and existing equipment issues, but underestimated the aid to Britain to Japan. In fact, think about it, on this plane, the peak of the British front-line army was as high as more than 2 million! (Not only on the Western Front, but also on the British army in the Mediterranean.) If you consider the British troops in various colonies, the scale of this army is already quite large, and there are not even so many British troops in World War II.

Even if the equipment of these troops is only missing for Japan, it is enough for the Japanese to arm more than 10 divisions. You should know that there is 2 million troops, but it does not mean that the equipment is only enough for 2 million people! Therefore, the Japanese do not have to produce much army equipment at all. As long as they have money, a large amount of remaining British troops will be enough for the Japanese army to fight this Pacific War.

Of course, it is not enough to just say that the Germans always have to look at the US military exercises and battalion-level infantry tactics. The tactical exercises are mainly composed of two parts, one is the landing of troops, and the other part is naturally a complex terrain breaking through the enemy's direction. In landing operations, the performance of the US Navy surprised the Germans.

"With the progress of history, all military technologies are developing. The army has changed from a simple rifle-in-field cannon to a tank-in-heavy artillery now. Naval warfare has changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and submarines have spread the war to underwater. The emergence of aircraft carriers allows us to attack opponents from the air. All this has happened in decades. But it has to be said that the mode of landing warfare has not changed in nearly a hundred years. The environment of landing warfare has changed. The previous mode of operation is no longer suitable for the current landing warfare, and the United States of America will be the leader of this change." Marshall told the German delegation that had just boarded the amphibious transport ship Hawaii.

"With the heavy army equipment and the enhanced defense of the defenders, we are now facing a problem, that is, how to send a large number of troops and weapons from sea to the beach under the enemy's rain of bullets! The previous small boat landing has now proven to be a failure. Even with super fire cover, we still cannot simply use artillery to completely eradicate the enemy's defense. Infantry, artillery and tanks are the ultimate means to solve everything. Transport these personnel and weapons from the local area to the edge of the battlefield, and then transport them from the edge of the battlefield to the beach to the battle are all the problems we need to solve!" Marshall introduced.

"The United States has spent at least six years studying this problem, and now, I can proudly say that we have solved more than 90% of the problem. No country in this world is more proficient in landing operations than the United States! And this amphibious transport ship Hawaii and the Guam heavy-equipped landing ship and flying fish landing ship are the core of the United States' landing combat system!"

"The tonnage of the USS Hawaii amphibious transport ship is not large, with a standard displacement of only 5,000 tons. It is the transit station for the entire landing operation. He transported a large number of vehicles and personnel to the landing starting position. This kind of maritime material transfer is not very magical. After all, the Russians could transfer more than 100 tons of coal on battleships within an hour during the Russo-Japanese War. The real difficulty lies in the seaworthiness of the ship. For example, it is impossible for us to let dozens of tons of landing craft drive directly from Pearl Harbor to the Bismarck Islands." Major General Marshall said, and brought Germans and his group to the interior of the USS Hawaii amphibious transport ship.

"This is the main deck, used to stack various supplies, next to it is a crane. These are very common things, so there is no need to say much. The real core of this ship is designed in the lower vehicle compartment and the door that can be opened in the front of the hull." In the lower vehicle compartment, the front of the hull was opened with a winch, and the light and salty sea breeze poured into the cabin. Then, a pedal was lowered and a slope formed in the front of the hull. Behind the delegation was a landing craft with a length of 12 meters and a width of 6 meters.

"Once war begins, the landing craft will slide down the slope from the front gate of the hull into the sea. This flying fish landing craft can carry two squads of soldiers and the ammunition and supplies they need. In the front, we added bulletproof steel plates to the landing craft to resist the attacks of bullets and shrapnel. Their draft is shallow and is a flatbed, which is very suitable for maneuvering offshore. When approaching, the landing craft has a pedal in the front. The personnel can quickly land along the pedal and then enter the battle. Then, the landing craft can turn quickly and use the advantage of shallow draft to quickly return to transport the second wave of soldiers." Marshall said.

"A Hawaiian-class landing ship can transport at least 4 flying fish landing crafts. During actual combat, the Hawaiian landing transport ship will be very safe outside the enemy's fire strike range. It is the transit center of the entire landing war. We call the stage of soldiers from landing transport ship to landing craft a transfer." Marshall said.

"It's a good shooting, but this kind of design with pedals or cabin openings at the front was also available in this war. For example, the British did it like this. In order to adapt to the Pacific environment, your country specially built a landing craft transport ship, which was very idea and had some pioneering nature. The middle transfer link really reduced the possibility of landing troops being ambushed by the opponent's firepower. After all, before launching the final charge, the landing transport ships were all outside a safe distance." General Kariput said.

"But there is a problem I want to know. When we came here from the upper deck, I have observed the width of the deck, but it seems that there is not much change. In other words, our ship should be a flatbed, so good. Now the problem is that the full load displacement of this ship is very large. The hull draft is limited. How can your country solve the stability when sailing? If you analyze according to your country's data, the center of gravity after full load is a little high. Moreover, in the future, your country will fight in the Pacific, not in the Mediterranean." said the general.
