"It seems that General Su Xiong's situation is really bad this time." When Major General Karls of the Bavarian Army came to Su Xiong's flagship again, he saw warships covered with bullet holes and ruins, as well as busy soldiers, with fragments and traces of burning flames everywhere. Although the core area of ​​the Oldenburg was still complete, the losses were also great. In the end, the warship had only four main guns to use, and one of the main guns of the No. 1 turret on the fore deck was broken. The turret of the No. 2 main gun caused damage to the saddle of the artillery and the servo system, and the long gun barrel hanged down.

Three days have passed since the war. Su Xiong and Raidel are still dealing with the follow-up matters, and Major General Karls is not idle. After the sea transport fleet was severely damaged, the situation of the US Army has undergone tremendous changes. For soldiers, the biggest impact is that fresh vegetables, meat and various luxury supplies, such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, etc. are gone. For American soldiers, their daily staple food has become various hard biscuits and lunch meat produced annually, steamed, roasted, fried, and all kinds of tricks. But only lunch meat. The same is true for the German officers, including Major General Karls and other German officers. Fortunately, they also have quick pasta brought from Germany and various sausages produced in Bavaria. These things are now popular. In the front-line army, 4 dollars a pack!

In terms of equipment, the US Army has begun to strictly limit the use of ammunition and weapons. The 155MM long-range artillery, which was originally used to suppress Japanese heavy artillery at a very long range, has stopped suppressing. After all, this method of using strong charges to forcefully increase the range has caused too much wear on the cannon. If the information received by Karls was correct, in the war a few days ago, the US Army lost at least 40 155MM cannon barrels!

The US military, which was originally in the offensive, began to shrink, and most of the chassis seized in a few weeks was thrown away within two days. The Japanese Army began to launch a large-scale attack, but it did not have much effect except for increasing the casualties between the two sides. According to Major General Carls' speculation, if the Americans were determined to defend, it would be difficult for the Japanese to drive the US Army into the sea. The gap between the two sides' army, especially the equipment gap, was not very large, and in this situation that was almost trench warfare, the attacking side was very unfavorable.

This time, Major General Karls came to Suxiong's flagship, with the purpose of working with Suxiong to evaluate the dynamics of the US military on the New Ireland Island and the direction of the future war. Then he wrote a report and sent it to Crown Prince Ruprecht and the German central government.

"Sorry, the conditions are a little simpler, just let's go." Su Xiong said. When Major General Karls arrived at the Officer's Restaurant on the Oldenburg, the German Navy had made all the preparations. There was a huge sand table in the middle of the restaurant. Various icons were hung on the wall. The staff had already put the collected data into categories. Originally, the officer's restaurant had air conditioning, but now, I'm sorry. Open the portholes of the basin, and make do with it. There are still fruits, but the ice cream is still fine. The power on the battleship is a little nervous.

"This is better than the conditions of my command." Major General Karls' tone was very sincere. Because of this, Su Xiong and the others just had no air conditioning now, and Karls had no air conditioning... As for food and drink, they were even more comparable to the Shanghai Army. There is no way, it is normal for the naval treatment of various countries to be higher than that of the army.

"I think everyone is very clear about the losses of both sides. Let's skip this part directly. As for the attitude of the US Navy, I can now confirm that whether it is the US Army Commander-in-Chief Pershing, the current US Navy Commander Benson, or the next hottest candidate Sims, they all insist on continuing the battle. So let's discuss it now based on this premise." Su Xiong said.

"So what is the next plan of the US Navy? Can they maintain maritime transportation? Does the Japanese Navy still have the ability to continue launching raids?" Major General Carls asked. There is no way, this is an island battle, and the key to determining the victory or defeat lies in the sea power. Therefore, he must figure out the status of the US-Japan fleet.

"The Japanese Navy should have no chance. Their combat power is also very depleted, especially the auxiliary warships, which have even been lowered below the level. Moreover, the bad weather will soon pass, and the next stage will be clear and clear. It is difficult for the Japanese to launch another sneak attack with the cover of the night. On the sea surface, the US Navy has a dozen battleships and five aircraft carriers. There is no big problem with sea control."

"As for the rotation issue, I think the Japanese still cannot waste the United States. The way the American fleet is to wait until the Japanese fleet begins to evacuate from this sea area, they will rotate again. So, at sea, the Americans still have control. If the battlefield is a prison, then the US Navy is a prisoner, and the Japanese are prisoners. They injured the prisoner, but they cannot rescue their colleagues in the prison." Redel's answer was very straightforward and affirmative.

"So when will the Americans' transportation capacity be restored?" Major General Carls continued to ask.

"This is a bit hard to say." Major General Carls was surprised by Su Xiong's answer.

"I think it won't take long to transport it from the perspective of the number of transport ships and material reserves, even if it's transported from the local area, right?" Major General Carls asked.

"If the Japanese, or those who advise the Japanese, are smart enough, then in the next stage, when the main fleets of both sides are all about to rest, the Japanese fast-forward-fading daggers should have attacked, and they will disrupt the maritime transportation lines from the United States to Hawaii. Perhaps the actual losses will not be large, but it will definitely reduce the US transportation volume a lot, because there are no suitable warships in the US Navy's combat sequence that can limit these fast-forward-fading daggers. It is actually very difficult to catch such warships at sea." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"I heard that the British were the ones who gave the Japanese this time?" Carls asked.

"Yes, it must be British, and probably Betty. Because, based on the intelligence provided by our European intelligence network, this guy has suddenly disappeared for several months," said Su Xiong.

"Is Betty so powerful now?" Carls expressed confusion.

"People are always growing, but this question is not important. What is important is that if the Japanese launch a battle of breaking the enemy at this time, it will seriously drag the US offensive pace. The fall of New Ireland is certain, and the only question is when it will fall." Raidel said.
