"The situation is very critical now." Stedi picked up his pipe and took a few sips. His tone was very indifferent, as if he was describing something that had little to do with him.

"Yes, it's very critical. The Kasuki armored cruiser has been destroyed. Fortunately, another armored cruiser returned early. Otherwise, we might have lost two armored cruisers. The fleet that provided us with supplies was probably unfortunate. Otherwise, even if we only sailed for 6 knots per hour, they should have arrived on time. If nothing unexpected happens, the Americans should have blocked the entire East Coast of Australia. It's too difficult for us to get supplies." Yamamoto Iroku wiped the cold sweat on his head and said.

"Yes, it's really difficult. Now we have powerful warships, but they are like fish falling into fishing nets. Although we are struggling hard, we can't get rid of the constraints of the fishing nets anyway. Maybe the next moment, as soon as they close the net, we will hang up." Stedy said after spitting out a smoke ring.

&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"You don't seem to be surprised by all this?" Yamamoto Iroku said that he could not accept that the other party was so calm! It seemed that he had expected this a long time ago.

"It must be no surprise. For a powerful fleet, it is a bit troublesome to catch our warships, but as long as you plan carefully, be willing to invest your strength, and persevere, you can always succeed. The sea breaking war is more of a restraint, and it is impossible to fundamentally solve the problem. Frontal fleet warfare and breaking warfare are master-servant relationships. Now, the main force of the Japanese joint fleet, as the master, is all shrunk in the Philippines. So the broken warfare fleet as the servant, can only be crushed to the serious Americans, right?" Stedi looked at Yamamoto and said, "I remember when I talked to you before, don't you think you were very dangerous this time? Now, are you scared?" In the last sentence, Stedi said a little jokingly.

"I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly." Yamamoto said while flipping through the documents and painting something on the charts on the wall from time to time. "I thought we could restrain the US military for at least half a year!" Yamamoto said angrily.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Half a year? Are you too confident in yourself, or are you too underestimating Americans and Germans?" Stedy stood up and walked towards the chart. He must try his best to think of a solution now. It doesn't matter if the Japanese fleet is dead. If he dies, wouldn't he lose money?

"I think it's hard to provide us with supplies from now on the entire East Coast of Australia, even all the supply ships coming from the Western Pacific, and what's more terrifying is that they might point us in the direction of the US military." Steedy said with a hook and circle on the map.

"You have to know that the number of high-volume ships that can carry a large amount of supplies to supply in the ocean is already small, and in the Pacific region, there are even fewer such ships when they are in war. If strict exclusion and sufficient intelligence are used, it is not difficult for the Americans to screen out suspicious targets. The Americans have enough warships or armed ships to carry out search missions, which will put our supply line on the verge of collapse." Stedee said.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"In the face of this situation, General Betty also has a solution. We have a backup supply fleet, and the fleet's port is in New Zealand." Yamamoto said with a drop in the document. "As long as we can receive supplies from New Zealand, we have enough fuel to cross the South Pacific and then head north to our sphere of influence. This is the last chance, we must terminate the breaking and bring two precious warships back to Japan."

"What if the Americans are also targeted by New Zealand?" Stedi said.

"How is it possible? New Zealand is so far from the main battlefield, and we have never sent a supply fleet from anywhere before, so they have no reason to do so!" Yamamoto said in a panic.

"Haha? Is there no reason? Since General Betty can think of providing supplies to the fleet from New Zealand when necessary, why didn't the Germans think of it? I don't think the Germans are stupider than us. Since the Americans have decided to break up with Britain and search the ships from Australia, why do they no longer try to bring New Zealand with them? And New Zealand is just a little bit, not much force is used." Stedy said with a smile.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Hold the grass, what's going on? Did Betty's so-called emergency plan at the time fool me? Did the British know from the beginning that the final outcome of this broken battle was annihilation?" When the last fuse was broken, Yamamoto was really scared. After all, no one was willing to die. Now he fully felt the gradually tightening fishing net, which could beat them all at any time!

"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet, because I haven't lived enough!" Stedi couldn't see any fear on his face, but patted Yamamoto's shoulder with his hand and signaled him to walk to the captain's room with him. He needed to have some things carefully with Yamamoto.

"Do you know why General Betty insists on putting the battleships in groups in two?" Steedy said with a smile.

"Isn't it to enhance the combat effectiveness of the formation to deal with the transport fleet with an escort fleet?" Yamamoto said.

"This is naturally one of the reasons. It is also a very important reason. After all, even if you are just facing destroyers, there are a large warship that wants to drive out destroyers and hunt merchant ships while hunting them." Stedee nodded and said, "But the most important point is that when the two warships are together, we can help each other. For example, now, if foreign aid is really cut off and the US fleet gradually closes the net, we can at least run one!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"What you mean is that let the Yamaki warship give it out and give it to us, and then let Yamaki go to New Zealand for supply? If New Zealand does not have the German fleet, then the Yamaki, which receives the supplies, can naturally return to Japan. If New Zealand is also targeted, then the German fleet will definitely attack Yamaki, and Yamaki becomes the bait for us to escape from trouble?" Yamamoto Iroku suddenly realized.

"Everything comes at a price. In the Battle of Norway, Crown Prince Ruprecht attracted Hippel to our most elite fleet and created opportunities for the main force of the high seas fleet to defeat the large fleet. In the Battle of New Ireland that had just ended, General Suxiong also gave up his cover to the Weimar so that the other three Bavarian-class battleships could escape. Although we were unable to sink a Bavarian-class battleship in the end, there was no doubt that any outstanding naval commander was a person who was good at abandoning! The same was true for General Betty, and I hope you will be the same in the future!" Stedi said meaningfully.
