"Haha." Su Xiong smiled without saying a word. In fact, like Betty, they knew very well that the decisive factor that determined the outcome of the US-Japan Pacific War was not all manifestations on the battlefield! It is the struggle and choice of major powers in the world. It should be noted that the United States of America in this era still had no reliable friends. The British could not get close to the United States under the threat of reality. The French had already tended to mingle with the Germans. Russia is now a mess, and Italy's opinions are not important at all. Austria-Hungary said that he stood with the Germans. So, is Germany and the United States allies? It's just to take their own needs!

Any world overlord is lonely before he sits on the throne of kings. In history, even if Americans win a battle, Britain and France still exclude them without mercy. It can be regarded as Americans who are the saviors! The opinions of the United States in the League of Nations after the war are not important. In history, Americans are like this, and now they are actually the same!

And more importantly, whether it is Germany, Austria, Britain, France and Italy, they all hope that the US-Japan war can continue! The longer the battle, the better! I really think that the Japanese industry cannot support the fleet's losses and the Americans will win? Tucson is broken! How many warships are waiting to be dealt with in Europe? Can't you see? And if there are some loopholes in the performance of the US fleet this time, then some countries that were originally cautious may not be able to hold back? After all, no one will be able to go with the money! Moreover, no one will be afraid of a country where the sharp blade in his hand is not so sharp!

"Looking forward, Nimitz, in fact, in the eyes of some seniors, the United States Navy at this time was not as powerful as you imagined." Su Xiong said meaningfully.

At this time, the two American and Japanese fleets had already collided fiercely. Since the war started, the first collision between the US and Japanese super fearless main fleet began! At the beginning of the battle, Benson's fleet was full of offensiveness! Under the leadership of three Omaha-class light cruisers, three squadrons, a total of more than 20 destroyers, began to launch lightning strikes on the Japanese, and at the same time! The American battleships also opened fire!

"Hiss... Americans are so powerful." Looking at the vast number of destroyers following three light cruisers in the distance, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu felt a little hurt! For a moment, he had plans to give up. After all, it was impossible to say that night war was not afraid of destroyers! Looking at the American lightning strike fleet in the distance, I was afraid that he had brought hundreds of torpedoes?

Although it was troublesome, the Japanese fleet still stabilized its position well. Under the leadership of two light cruisers, more than a dozen Japanese destroyers formed the first direction, while the dense sub-air artillery array of 9 Japanese fast battleships formed the second line of defense! The dense rain of hundreds of medium-caliber artillery was enough to prevent any lightning fleet from striking! However, the Americans still plunged in without hesitation!

Three Omaha-class light cruisers took the lead, and they rushed straight to the Japanese fleet like sharp spearheads. On the other hand, the remaining two Ball Mi-class light cruisers also faced them without hesitation. The 6-inch guns of both sides started to fight from 7,000 meters and fought to a distance of less than 1,800 meters! Countless high-explosive bombs crisscrossed the sea, and balls of deadly flames exploded on the warship!

After all, the Omaha-class light cruiser has an advantage in displacement and firepower. The side string firepower of 8 6-inch guns completely suppressed the Ball Mill class light cruiser in close combat, and the numerical advantage of 3-for-2 gave the Americans the upper hand! Under the attack of Omaha and Richmond, the Ball Mill was hit at least more than 20 6-inch shells, the entire superstructure was smashed to pieces, and many gun positions were blown into a twisted ball of steel. However, even so, the Japanese light cruiser still fought to death until it was finally blown into two pieces by a torpedo of an American destroyer!

At the beginning of the battle, the US lightning strike fleet reached its peak and gradually advanced towards the Japanese main fleet! However, in the battle between the main ships of both sides, the situation of the US fleet was not very good! Because Benson was surprised to find that the Japanese fleet, which had been fighting for a long time, seemed to have not weakened much!

"Damn it! What's the situation?" Looking at the five water columns rising next to the flagship New Mexico, Benson couldn't help but frown. He observed the situation of the battleship next to him. The Japanese used half-volleys, 10 main guns of the Fuso-class battleship, and then half-volleys were 5. According to the news obtained by the US fleet, the firepower of 4 Fuso-class battleships was preserved intact! So, this TM was a bit tragic. After all, the projection of 12 14-inch guns is higher than that of 8 15-inch guns. (When the rate of fire is equivalent.) But if it is compared with 10 15-inch guns, forget it...

Fortunately, the three 14-inch artillery warships behind the Japanese Navy were in very bad condition. The number of remaining artillery can barely be fired. The impact on the weak ships behind the US Navy was very limited, and even Nevada had an advantage. The Texas was comparable to the King Kong shot. Although Texas had 10 10-inch guns, it was a problem of walking on the central New York-class turret...

Judging from the artillery level alone, the Japanese obviously have to be better at it. The Americans rely on sufficient ammunition reserves to tilt their anger without any scruples. The two Tennessee-class battleships led by the team were almost tied at the beginning! The two Tennessee-class battleships were in the advantage in fighting the two Fuso-class battleships with damaged firepower, and the four American battleships were at a disadvantage when facing the four Fuso-class battleships with better conditions.

"It won't work like this!" Seeing a 15-inch shell bounce off the main armor of the turret in the north again, Betty said to Shimamura Suo. After the war, both the U.S. and Japan made hits, but overall, the effect was limited. The American turret and gun mount armor were completely immune to the 15-inch naval gun. Although the main armor belt may penetrate, it is obvious that Benson also considered this issue. They kept a distance and had a certain route crossing angle! This war of attrition of simply hit points is very unfavorable for the Japanese fleet. After all, the Americans still have reinforcements, but the Japanese fleet is no longer available!

"What should we do?" asked Shimamura Soo.

"Try it and leave! Have you seen the five-turret battleship at the end of the team?" Betty asked.

"Are you talking about the New York?" asked Shimamura Soo. (The New York and Texas are of the same class, so it is normal to admit their mistakes.)
