That's right, this is the last fuse left by the British for the Japanese! Stop the tail and survive! Abandon one of the warships and let the other warship run away with all the British! To be honest, if possible, Betty is unwilling to let the British Royal Navy elites who follow him sacrifice any one! They are all the hopes of the future of the Royal Navy! It is even more impossible to fall into the hands of the Americans, so Betty chose this move!

In this way, the Chaowu, which has obtained the supply of friendly forces, has a chance to escape and ascend to heaven! To be honest, as far as the current situation is concerned, the United States has very low control over the depths of the ocean! The reason why this strangulation system is successful is two points. The first point is suddenness. It suddenly cuts off Japan's supplies without any precautions, which makes them unable to cope. The second point is that the Japanese warships have poor self-sustainment. Because of their limited endurance, as long as they can cut off the supply line or even suppress the supply for a period of time, the Japanese warships will not be able to return to their hometowns.

Then maybe someone said that since the Japanese Navy burned coal, it could use the fuel of seized American ships! This is true. But in fact, it is not the case. First of all, it is easier to destroy a transport ship than to capture a civilian ship. Therefore, if you want to cause greater damage to the fleet, the Japanese fleet would definitely choose to destroy rather than capture. Because before, the Japanese could obtain high-quality coal and fuel from the supply ship, so naturally they would not have to capture the fuel of the ship... After all, inferior fuel will increase the load on the power system.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

So can we obtain fuel by capturing American ships? This is too late. Since the Japanese can think of it, Americans can naturally think of it too! On the one hand, the Americans have strengthened the protection of the fleet, and on the other hand, the Americans have added self-sinking devices. If captured, American ships can quickly sink themselves to avoid investing in enemies. As for the Japanese attacking transport ships in neutral countries? Sorry, this is really troublesome. After all, merchant ships are not special supply ships. When loading coal, they only consider how to install them easily, but not how to easily take out coal from the coal bin... And because of the size and freeboard issues of the ship, sometimes it looks OK, but it is really difficult to operate... The efficiency will be very low and there are dangers. For example, what if two ships crash when adding coal?

Stedi's persuasion work went very smoothly. Yamamoto Iroji quickly agreed to Stedi's suggestion and also came up with an excuse. The US Navy had begun to send a large number of warships to the Eastern Pacific region, so in order to prevent being taken away, the fleet command decided to disband the fleet and obtain some supplies from the Yamamoto to continue the battle. The Yamamoto went to New Zealand to replenish supplies, and then consider returning.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The officers who were kept in the dark on the Shanwu did not object and began to prepare immediately. The Japanese modified warships used kerosene mixed boilers. Although the battleships did not consider loading coal out of the warship's coal silo after loading coal, it was easy to replenish heavy oil. A pipe and a pressurized pump can quickly transfer heavy oil from the oil silo of one ship to another. In fact, in the end, in addition to the higher combustion value, heavy oil can replace coal, and factors such as no need to shovel coal are also very important.

In 2 hours, Yamamoto sent about 60 tons of fuel to Asamoto. In addition to the previous fuel reserves of Asamoto, Yamamoto's ship was enough to return to Japan's control!

"I wish you a good journey." After sending this signal to Chaowu, he slipped away. Shanwu was hit by the way to New Zealand, and Shanwu had no other choice. After all, the battleships are not much fuel. If you miss the New Zealand supply wave, Shanwu may really not be able to go back!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

So, the Chaowu was regained a large amount of supplies and sailed westward immediately. They did not dare to sail directly to the northwest and then chose the nearest route to return to Guinea Island controlled by Japan, because the large number of American fleets and domestic blockades the entire eastern Australia, and 80% of them wanted to go back directly were to fall into the trap. Therefore, Stedy set a very conservative route for the Chaowu. The warships went west first, rushed out of the sparse cordon deployed by the US troops between New Zealand and Australia and then headed north. If they wanted to go like this, the Chaowu's supply was not particularly enough. It would be impossible to hold a meeting directly at Kalimantan Island. However, if they could escape the American blockade, then the Japanese warships could naturally call for supplies in a safe area.

If the supply is not obtained from the Mountain Fog, it is impossible for the two ships to enter the safe zone. From a rational perspective, Stedi's decision is fine. Of course, the practice of slipping away and throwing friendly forces into the opponent's trap is still very despised. The British are pragmatism. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a crossbow in the 2nd World War.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Finally, what will happen to Shanwu? Its result was actually destined when it sailed to New Zealand. It will plunge head-on into the encirclement deployed by the Germans near New Zealand, and then be easily beaten to death by the other party!

As for the transport ship that provides supplies to the Japanese fleet? Sorry, this ship was controlled by the American destroyer not long after it left the port. Su Xiong was not as complicated as Little Fletcher this time. He directly interfered with electronic interference and did not leave a single signal. Then the destroyer quickly approached. After several threatening shots of naval guns, the transport ship was decisive and cowardly, and even the codebook and the dumb puzzle machine were not destroyed. After all, you can't expect everyone to be a real man...

According to the information obtained, the German fleet was familiar with the ambush in the area where the Japanese fleet was scheduled to supply. In the final attack stage, the Americans put forward their own suggestions, that is, will this naval battle allow Mitchell's aircraft carrier to fire the first shot?

The Americans' reasons are very simple. Once the war begins, if the Mecklenburg battleship catches one, there will definitely be no problem. The destroyer team entangles one, and then waits for the Mecklenburg to solve the target and then rise. With absolute advantage, the Americans want to test the combat effectiveness of their aircraft carriers.

"Okay, then let your aircraft carrier attack first." Su Xiong also wanted to know how strong the attack power of the US aircraft carrier is now, so he agreed, and Americans who get the opportunity naturally have to perform well!
