Well, this, I support General Majiphin's opinion." Old Fletcher hesitated and said. Old Fletcher is also a mature man. After all, he has also come step by step from the Spanish-American War. He can see that Sims actually tends to Benson's in the issue of purchasing warships from outside, but Majiphin rejected the plan to buy warships from France from the perspective of the performance of the warships, which made Sims somewhat dissatisfied. If it were something else, Old Fletcher was willing to mix things up, but when it came to the fleet in his hands, he could not be ambiguous, because this was a joke on his own life!

"I'm going!" Sims felt very hurt because he knew that even if he became the commander-in-chief of the US fleet, the composition of rights within the fleet had changed significantly. In the era of Benson, Benson, as the commander of the fleet, could suppress all dissatisfaction and opposition to implement policies.

The reason is very simple, because Admiral Benson is the highest commander of the US Navy, and at the same time, he also maintains a good relationship with the US Navy administration system. The highest person in charge of the US Navy administration is Joseph Daniels. However, this guy is a shrewd politician, but he does not understand the navy. Therefore, the person who is actually responsible for the navy administration is Franklin Roosevelt, the deputy director of the Navy! (Do you feel that this name is very familiar? Yes, book friends, it is him! Old Roosevelt was the deputy director of the navy in the Spanish-American War, and Roosevelt Jr. was the deputy director of the navy in World War I. History will always be surprisingly similar!)

When it comes to designing military procurement in the Navy, Benson will not be forced to Roosevelt Jr., on the one hand, because of their relationship. On the other hand, the US Navy has not been beaten to the pain. But now, the situation has changed, and the facts have told the Americans what is right and what is wrong! With Benson's departure and the personnel adjustment of the fleet, the status of people with real practical experience has been greatly improved. With the army, the status of civil servants during the war is not as good as that of the front-line generals. So this means that on many issues, the practical combat faction of the US Navy represented by Majiphin and the administrative faction represented by Roosevelt Jr. have a sharp conflict!

In addition, Sims is also a practical faction... Otherwise, before going to Germany, why did Sims have to visit Majiffen? Now, after becoming the commander of the fleet, Sims must coordinate the relationship between the two sides, and this matter is difficult. Because Majiffen is a pure soldier! He does not consider the political consequences, because he does not have to consider the political future, and his own reputation and ability can also make him firm. So what can I say? A wall stands thousands of miles apart, and a strong person is not a desire! As for Roosevelt, a young man? Now Roosevelt is the president, is it still necessary to say this?

"It's a bad time to part." Sims's mind was like these words. He could not suppress Majiffen. This was a war period, and it was always reasonable for those who could fight. Now Sims didn't know that if he was too anxious, Majiffen suddenly threatened to resign, and Sims would not find a suitable replacement in the entire American fleet! The US Navy is really lacking in talents in this era!

(This is not a fabrication by the author. In 1905, the US Congress approved the bill to select 12 people from warrant officers as second lieutenants every year...)

"In addition, I hope you will pay more attention to the construction plan of our armored cruiser. We must accelerate." Just as Sims' mind was in a mess, Majiphin spoke again.

"Are you talking about those fast warships equipped with 10-inch guns?" Sims said: "The Japanese Navy's light cruisers are already very few. For the Japanese Navy's avant-garde or lightning strike fleet, our current Omaha-class light cruisers are enough. The priority of these fast warships equipped with 10-inch guns can be reduced."

"The Japanese also have two old-fashioned armored cruisers and have made improvements. If they perform a mission to break the handover, we lack the right warships to deal with it." Majifen said.

"Do you have evidence that the only two remaining Japanese-level cruisers have made relevant improvements and are capable of performing this mission?" Sims asked.

"Sorry, I don't. I just expect the enemy to be lenient." Majifen said very honestly.

"This is a bit far-fetched reason," Sims said.

"Okay, write what we said today into the meeting minutes so that time can prove who we are right." Majifen stopped talking, and he felt a little uncomfortable with the opposition between the two sides, so he decided not to discuss these heartbreaking things for the time being. Of course, it does not mean that Majifen will not settle accounts after the fall...

"By the way, how about Colonel Lehi, who commanded the Sixth Battleship Detachment? Although he lost an entire fleet, it was lost in the case of a huge difference in strength and being attacked by a sneak attack. He fought and worked hard. It was not his fault for failure, and he was also injured." Majifen asked.

"Col. Lexi has followed the first wounded on his way back to Hawaii. He will then report to the headquarters on behalf of the Navy. If you have any ideas, you can contact him directly." Sims said.

"So what about the future arrangements?" asked Majifen.

"He may stay in China for a while and deal with some other things. Then he will continue to return to the front line to serve as the fleet commander. After all, he has practical experience." Sims said.

"Is there any experience in being beaten?" Majiphin felt a little embarrassed, but he had to admit that Colonel Lacey's counterattack was still two-brained from a tactical perspective, but its use was limited.

"If there is nothing else, we can report the content of our discussion today. We only use opinions and don't make a decision. Let's leave some things to the senior management to make decisions." Sims said.

"Okay." Majiphin nodded in agreement, and naturally Benson and Fletcher, the old man would not say much.

At this time, just as the top leaders of the US Navy Fleet were dealing with the legacy issues after the battle, Colonel William Daniel Lech had not only returned to Pearl Harbor, but also embarked on a journey back home. This time, he will attend a high-level meeting of the US government. Although this meeting is not very formal, it has a profound impact on the future situation, both politically and militaryally!

Just as the Americans were about to adjust their diplomatic relations, the Germans also started related work. The crown prince who had returned to Munich not only received telegrams from Su Xiong and others, but also waited for some unexpected people!
