"Wrong!" Betty directly interrupted the former. "If it was a battle under normal circumstances, then the Suxiong fleet should indeed be the vanguard of reconnaissance, but unfortunately, our battle itself is an abnormal state! The Americans dare not easily squander the Suxiong fleet's high speed and not very good endurance!"

"You know, the new American battleships are all oil-fired boilers, while the German Bavarian-class battleships use kerosene mixed boilers because they are worried about lacking enough fuel," Betty said.

"I naturally know this. Germany has more coal and less oil. If you want me, I will also use a kerosene mixed boiler for Bavaria." said Suzuo Shimamura.

"If anyone in this world is more familiar with long-term maritime combat, if the British Empire says second, then no one dares to say first! I can tell you clearly that the situation in the Suxiong fleet is very bad!"

"First of all, the kerosene mixed boiler is mainly coal after all, and the energy provided by coal is only about half of the fuel. This means that during the combat deployment for more than 30 days, the Suxiong fleet must constantly add coal. Well, you should be very clear about how much damage it will be to the officers and soldiers when deploying long-term combat deployment at sea and then performing coal-add operations at sea!"

"Secondly, another significant advantage of fuel over coal is that the logistics and maintenance requirements are relatively low, and the dust generated after coal burns is difficult to clean in the flue. This will inevitably gradually reflect the speed of the warship."

"Third, another very large limiting factor for high-speed navigation by warships using coal is the physical strength of the furnace stewards. In the war, the Royal Navy and the German Navy fainted or even exhausted due to high-speed navigation. The fuel-fired warships are different. They only use an oil pump to send oil into the boiler. So whether it is the Americans or Su Xiong, they will not easily waste the high-speed navigation time of the Bavarian-class battleships and the energy of the furnace stewards!"

"Fourth, the German fleet uses small water pipe boilers, which are more difficult to maintain, so the Germans must save on their power systems in any case. Because from the perspective of maintenance and human resources, Bavaria is not a warship suitable for long-term deployment on the ocean! Until now, conservatively estimated that the ultimate speed of the Bavarian-class may have dropped to about 24 knots." Betty said at the end.

(A problem is clarified here. The so-called kerosene mixed boiler does not simply mean that it can burn both coal and oil. In fact, the principle of this kind of boiler is that when the problems in the boiler reach a certain level, the injector will inject oil into the boiler to assist in combustion. However, before reaching a certain temperature and pressure requirement, it cannot be directly injected. Therefore, warships equipped with general kerosene mixed boiler burning coal under normal circumstances.)

(In addition, the coal replenishment operation is really tiring. Think about it, when adding coal on the shore, you need to mobilize the whole people to take a shower, change your clothes, eat a meal, and give some extra salary. However, adding coal at sea is more difficult, and because you cannot dock, the coal ash floating around the hull will definitely affect morale and residence. More importantly, after adding coal, you can't wash it happily. This feeling is your own.)

"Damn it, it's true that he is a senior officer from the world-class navy. Even if he is a defeated man from the Germans, his level is still a few streets away from him!" Shimamura Soo understood what Betty said, and sighed that under the training of the Germans, even if the person taught by half of the British fleet was almost the best, he was at the top level! He has his own uniqueness in both strategy and tactics. After all, he became a doctor after a long time of illness, and if he gets beaten too much, he will beat people!

Betty solved the biggest knot of the Japanese Navy, that is, what if the Suxiong fleet runs all over the world, the Japanese really have no good idea for the Suxiong fleet. The 15-inch cannon with bloody swords and high speed, high defense, and the natural enemy of the Japanese Navy, how do you let the Japanese do it?

But now, although Betty did qualitative analysis and there was no detailed data. But the Japanese also knew that the American cruisers and destroyers who were actually responsible for the reconnaissance mission should be the American cruisers and destroyers. The possibility of direct action of the Suxiong fleet is not high. If the Americans are responsible for the reconnaissance, if Suxiong, the experienced commander, goes to the false and retain the truth, then the Japanese fleet's mobilization and deception are completely hopeful!

This returns to Su Xiong's previous distrust of the US military system. The US military reconnaissance fleet is likely to eventually provide a lot of fake or even misleading information. Therefore, Su Xiong would rather investigate and make a judgment on his own than rely solely on the Americans!

Well, are the Americans easy to fool? It may be difficult for the Japanese, but it is different for Betty! Because Betty also caught the pain of the American fleet's foot! That is, the Americans' core fleet will never divide the troops! It should be noted here that the so-called core fleet refers to fearlessness and super fearlessness, not including the former fearlessness and early fearlessness.

As for the reason? Of course, it is because the Japanese fleet with the advantage of speed will be defeated one by one, so this will inevitably lead to such a situation. For example, if a single front fearless squadron cannot deal with it and cannot easily use the Su Xiong fleet, the main fleet of the US Navy must go on its own, and do not ask to kill the other party, at least it must drive away!

"There is only one question now. In addition to the main fleet, does your navy have a faster speed than the US fleet and can fight the former US dauntless warship? We need to use such a bait to continuously mobilize the US fleet, and then create opportunities for the main fleet to break into the core area!" Betty asked.

"Are those German-made armored cruisers OK? Although they are very old, we have replaced the power system and the speed is no problem." Shimamura Soo asked.

"No, their firepower is too weak, and even the master who cannot defeat the former US dauntless battleship in the later stages is of course useless." Betty said. "If it really doesn't work, use two slow dauntless ships."

"No, there are still a batch of heritages from the Russian Navy that year that can be used in the Imperial Navy. They have just completed the restoration and are on the court now!" Shimamura Soo said.
