Chapter 2487 Su Xiong's mission 3

Su Xiong has fought with the Japanese Navy, and has fought overnight battles with the Japanese Navy more than once. Overall, Su Xiong's evaluation of the Japanese Navy's level is this, and the combat quality of the destroyer troops is still good. The intermediate and above generals are not very clever, but on the basic line. Don't forget that the Japanese and British allies are. Before coming, Ruprecht reminded Su Xiong that this time the German fleet may meet old friends in the Pacific, so he should be careful... and think about the combat quality of the American fleet... Su Xiong truly understood the meaning of what Prince Ruprecht said to him before he left. Let the US Navy jump first, let the US Navy jump later. Su Xiong first ensures the safety of the German fleet.

But no matter what, the cooperation between Su Xiong and Benson has laid the hidden danger of disharmony. Benson designated the combat plan according to the formulaic method taught by the academy. He hoped to take everything into his own hands and believed that an obedient mediocre subordinate was better than a smart subordinate who likes to make decisions. If you have to use one word to describe it, it would be stereotyped.

As for Su Xiong, he is a wolf! He is a wolf who has been wandering overseas for a long time and is used to responding to the situation! In fact, not only him, but also all the senior German naval generals who have led the naval battles alone are like this. Such people are Hippel and Earl Spee. They like to analyze their own intelligence and then mobilize the fleet to fight according to their own ideas. Although Su Xiong is the smallest among all the famous German naval generals, don't forget that they have also commanded a mixed fleet of battleships, destroyers and submarines. To talk about the command and combat experience of a larger fleet, Earl Spee can mock Su Xiong, and Thomas can barely do it, but no matter what, it is not the Americans' turn to mock him.

As Su Xiong had thought before, the US auxiliary fleet was responsible for collecting intelligence, and then Su Xiong commanded the German fleet and the support fleet of the eight battleships promised by Benson, and Su Xiong decided how to fight. In this way, Su Xiong could at least ensure tactical flexibility. Unfortunately, Benson had dismantled the fleet that was supposed to be used in one place and restricted the communication between the two, which was a bit difficult.

Of course, it is impossible for you to say that Benson despises Su Xiong. After all, Benson has no reason to despise a person who is called the Blood Earl by the Japanese. Their results are brilliant. Moreover, in order to coordinate the command between himself and Su Xiong, Benson also asked Majifen to be his chief of staff. After all, the latter has practical experience and has a lot of communication with the Germans.

There are many reasons for this result, but some are political issues and national face, and some are combat style issues. The US Navy's combat style, which has not experienced actual combat, is generally more conservative. Only when there are more battles, can some excellent generals be more naughty. For example, General Halsey, who was called the Marine Bull in the 2nd World War in history! They are confident and capable, so they dare to make arbitrary claims.

In fact, it is correct to have a conservative combat style in the large fleet. For example, Su Xiong can be more arrogant and Count Spee can be bolder. However, whether it is Ruprecht or Schell, they dare not make fun of the main force of the High Seas Fleet. They are more than 90% sure to take action. This is also the different views on the same issue that Benson and Su Xiong are in different positions.

"You don't have to worry about intelligence, nor do you have to worry about the problems that need support when encountering the main force of the Japanese fleet. We can solve all these. You only need to command the fleet to hit the Japanese's forehead." Benson said.

"In other words, we are just a long sword. We don't have to think about the problem with our own minds. We just need to kill the enemy in front of us?" Su Xiong asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"We do not underestimate you and your brave and warlike fleet. We arranged this way to avoid chaos. You know, our landing plan this time is very large, and there are many targets that need to be covered. In fact, not only the landing point, but also the transport fleet, temporary docks, various berths and the main fleet itself. Sometimes the chaos in one's own will be more terrifying than the enemy's offensive." Admiral Benson said sincerely. He respected General Su Xiong as a guest army, but for various reasons, the Americans finally chose a relatively safe method at the tactical level.

So a very interesting scene in the history of war appeared. Strategically, the Americans were very bold and directly hit the defense core of the Japanese Navy. However, in tactical terms, the Americans were very careful. They tied the entire fleet to the near landing ground. They just wanted the army to land successfully and then build a complete forward base!

This seems difficult to understand, but in fact there are still many in military history. For example, the Japanese were undoubtedly very bold in strategically, but in the final tactical execution stage, Tadakaichi Nagamoto finally chose to evacuate after attacking two units. Although there is not necessarily such an exaggeration as the so-called third wave after the US fleet is paralyzed x month, Tadakaichi Nagamoto is obviously conservative in the final tactics. Even if the torpedo is thrown, you still have a bomb. It is also appropriate to clean up the oil depot and shipyard.

"Okay, we are willing to obey the decisions made by your country. We will do our best to do our own things well. You can rest assured." Su Xiong did not argue anything. He decided to take a look at the American level first.

"I sincerely thank you for your cooperation attitude and wish that the friendship between the German Empire and the United States of America will last forever." Benson breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the Germans on the other side had expressed their attitude. Perhaps there are some problems and contradictions between the United States and Germany now, but on the issue of the belonging of the Bismarck Islands, the two countries are consistent, that is, the Japanese must get out of the Bismarck Islands, the Americans are for their own colonies, and the Germans are for their own face! So the Germans will definitely cooperate as much as possible.

After the official business, the atmosphere of the talks between the two sides eased. In order to welcome the arrival of the German fleet, the Americans made a lot of preparations and prepared floating docks and necessary supplies for all German warships. The food and food were distributed according to the highest standards in the US military. In order to show the disclosure of information to allies, Su Xiong and others could review all information and intelligence about the war. Su Xiong was not polite and actively prepared for the upcoming war.
