Chapter 2567 not perfect
Haha, this is not something we care about. Because of the bad weather, the American fleet is concentrated in this location. It is the best shelter area in the entire New Ireland Island, and it is large enough. Because of the necessary transportation and actions, although the Americans have implemented light controls, it is not strictly. It is easy for us to find here. They are as dazzling as light bulbs at night." Stedy said.
"However, Americans also know that they will definitely arrange defensive forces nearby. Even if we can attract the American fleet, we may have a tough battle if we want to break through here." Betty said.
"I don't think so." Stedee said with a frown. This was his first direct opposition to Betty's opinion. Although Betty can be described as infamous among the British Navy and the people, after actually contacting Betty and working with Betty, Stedee thought Betty's ability was still quite good, at least Betty has been washed away now. Even Thomas admires Betty very much. Therefore, unless Stedee is particularly sure, he will not directly refute Betty.
"From the current news, the main force of the US fleet is the first and second battleship teams, with a total of 10 super fearless ships. Then there are four Bavarian-class battleships of the Suxiong Fleet. The Fifth Battleship Team is said to have gone back, so the Fourth Battleship Team is still here, with a total of 4 battleships. According to the intelligence, I think that the Americans' first and second battleship teams and the Suxiong Fleet should be together, because as long as these 14 battleships are invincible, the main force of the US fleet will be invincible. Even if we get the first move, we will definitely not be able to defeat our opponents. Therefore, the only one who can act alone is the Fourth Battleship Team, but only four backward old ships. What difficulties can there be?" Stedi said he did not understand.
Please, do a good job of calculations. According to the Japanese plan, the task of the third battleship detachment commanded by others in Yamaya is to lead the entire American main fleet and use itself as bait to lure the American fleet northward to create opportunities for the main fleet to assault the core area. In Stedy's view, the Suxiong fleet should be a reliable avant-garde of the American fleet. They will first bite the other's fleet. Then the American fleet then follows. Of course, if this is the case, the other's fleet may have a bad result, but so what?
As long as the main American fleet leaves, the Japanese fleet can go into the core area and tear everything they encounter to pieces! If the Fourth American Battleship Team dares to support it, then it will be fine to clean it up. However, four old-fashioned dreadnoughts are just used to replace the entire Fourth American Battleship Team and at least one-third of the US military transport fleet with several front fearless ships. This deal is very cost-effective! Even if the Americans have the remaining Dreadnoughts and Armored Cruiser Detachment? The dreadnoughts may not be able to catch up with the battlefield, and what can the armored cruiser come on? It's just a waste of shells!
"What do you think of my plan?" Betty's sudden words made Stedi feel a little uncomfortable. The Japanese have passed the plan and are about to be implemented. You still ask this question? What does it mean!
"If my opponent is a German, let alone facing Crown Prince Ruprecht, even facing Scher, I think the probability of success of this plan is no more than 50%! Because, whether it is Scher, Hippel or Earl Spee, their overall situation is very good! They know that the most important task of the navy at this time is to protect the transport fleet, so even if the fleet in the mountain house eats a former dreadnoughtsman team, the Germans will never be obsessed with revenge. They will drive us away, and then the main force of the fleet continues to shrink in the core area and wait for the bad weather to pass. Although this practice is very conservative, it is the most foolproof!"
"But unfortunately, the opponent this time is Benson. He is anxious. He is worried that the American fleet that has come from afar will not be able to use the Japanese fleet that is waiting for it. Therefore, he will be very persistent in the fleet fighting, and this psychology is the key to the success of my plan! This is a psychological game, just like when Prince Ruprecht dealt with me in the Battle of Dogel Sands, but today, I use this method to deal with the Americans!"
"However, I am worried that my plan may deceive the Americans, but I can't deceive Su Xiong. You know, in the entire German fleet, who is most familiar with long-term ocean combat, is probably Su Xiong! He may realize that it is us that can't be used! And I think as a professional pirate in the Indian Ocean, he knows best what the core of the battle between the two sides is! So, I'm afraid that he suggests Benson sticking to the core area. In this way, we may only have one tactical victory." Betty said in a low voice.
"Hiss, you mean! You are not very sure about this plan?" Stedi said in shock.
"It's more than 60%. It's useless to care about these at this time. The most important thing is that the Japanese have no better choice." Betty said firmly.
"We need to keep a backhand, the Japanese fleet cannot be done this time. For the sake of the British Empire, the war must continue." Stedy said seriously.
"Although I didn't tell the Japanese the root of my concern, I gave them advice that if the US fleet was not attracted, then the main fleet must withdraw immediately even if it wants to abandon the third battleship team. If the US main fleet is attracted, then it's enough to rush hard. As long as you get the time stuck and get a handful and leave, you won't suffer any losses." Betty said.
In fact, when convinced Shimamura Soo, Betty had one thing that was not explained clearly, that is, what should the Japanese do if the American fleet was organized by Benson with the first, second and fourth battleship teams, and the Suxiong fleet was left alone in the inner circle to defend the core area, what should the Japanese do? If the Americans chose this conservative layout, it was actually relatively stable. The reason was very simple. Even if the Suxiong fleet was replaced, the 14 American battleships were still not easily challenged by the current joint fleet.
There are 10 super fearless ships and 4 fearless ships! Although the Japanese fleet has 10 super fearless ships, and 6 of them have top performance, 3 King Kong-class battleships are really not suitable for on-the-scene battleships! Betty has a personal experience, and the Japanese have also tried it in the Pacific Ocean! So anyway, Betty is not optimistic about the results of this exchange. It is okay to steal one occasionally, but it is really a stand-in output? Let's take a shower and go to bed.
