"It seems that we have thought of everything and are ready, aren't we?" Sims said with a bit conceited after hearing Majiphin's report.

"Yes, we have thought about everything and have done a good job of dealing with it. This time, we should be able to win very simply." Majifen said affirmatively.

"Okay, it's time now, let's go!" Sims said as he looked at the battleships arranged on Ford Island. With the orders issued, the entire fleet began to set sail from the main berthing area nicknamed "Battleship Street". With the help of guide ships and other auxiliary ships, they left the berth one by one, and then drove along the waterway toward the ocean. Because the space was too small, the huge fleet would be organized outside Pearl Harbor.

The three armored cruisers of the First Armored Cruiser Detachment and the two seaplane motherships of the First Seaplane Squadron have set out as the vanguard fleet. Now, the eight battleships of the First Battleship Detachment are coming out of the port. At the front is a destroyer detachment, like an emperor's guard of honor, and then, the Colorado-class battleships like a king, with the flags of the generals and various signal flags floating in the wind on the mast. The eight most elite battleships of the US Navy slowly sail out of the port like the legendary Titan giants. They are wearing sharp and invincible. They will open a new page in history. They will carry out the first battle behind enemy lines in the history of the US Navy.

Behind is the Second Battleship Detachment. Although they also have the reputation of being extremely fearless, the traces of time and some backward designs make them very different from their previous descendants. Although they have been in service for a long time and some technical problems are also plaguing them, these warships can still be described as being strong as ever.

Behind the battleship is the second seaplane mothership and a large number of destroyers. Over the past few hours, a total of 11 battleships, 3 seaplane motherships and more than 50 destroyers sailed out of the port. By the way, there are 4 supply ships with the army. Such a huge departure is only comparable to when the US fleet was expeditioning New Ireland.

"May God bless you all the best!" The New York, which was already anchored in the harbor, sent a signal to say goodbye.

"Let's meet outside the New Ireland Island." The Delaware battleship also sent blessings. The Americans did a very good job of keeping confidentiality this time. Except for the battleships participating in the battle, even other colleagues of the U.S. Navy didn't know what the U.S. fleet was going out this time! Most of them thought that these warships would go to New Ireland to provide support to the army, but in fact, this time, Sims' attack target was chosen in the hinterland of the Japanese! Such a bold plan exceeded most people's imagination! To a certain extent, Sims' plan was crazy and decisive!

"The fleet has been organized. The vanguard fleet is about 40 nautical miles ahead of the main fleet. The main fleet will sail at a speed of 14 knots. After 4 hours, we will converge with the five aircraft carriers that have already set out at the junction point." Majifen said after roughly calculating the route on the chart with a calculation rule.

"Very good, from now on, compress all unnecessary radio communications, all necessary communications use brand new frequency bands and passwords, General Majiphin, thank you for your hard work, I hope you can send all valuable information to me." Sims said.

"Okay, Commander, as you wish." Majifen nodded and said. This time the fleet's separate operation was also a good arrangement for the Americans. These five aircraft carriers were actually dispersed. Two of them were previously carrying out the mission of transporting aircraft to New Ireland Island, the other two were performing training missions, and the last one was nominally preparing to return to the United States to receive modifications. However, what is unexpected is that these warships finally gathered together and joined this unprecedented large-scale maneuver war in the US Navy!

"By the way, what are the Germans doing?" Sims asked suddenly.

"I don't know, but I shouldn't be very happy." Majifen said helplessly.

"Okay, send a signal to the German warships. If they have any requirements or ideas, you can contact us at any time. You can take charge of it yourself. Or just tell me." Sims said.

"Okay." After saying that, Majiphin, who was the fleet's staff, began to get busy among a group of staff, while Sims took advantage of this time to take a good rest. The huge fleet has already gone out to sea, and the American sword is directed directly to the heart of the Japanese oil production!

What were the Germans doing at this time? Redel was very idle because he was now a captain, and was excluded from the command level, and the general things on the warships were also handled by the captains. As for other matters, Redel didn't know how to do it except to read the information provided by the US. The reason is very simple. Although he was already a lieutenant general, he had never commanded a battle of this level. If it was a naval battle at the battleship squadron level, then Redel was still competent. However, this time, a large fleet of battleships, aircraft carriers, armored cruisers, and at least 50 destroyers formed a huge fleet. Sorry, Redel didn't do it either. After all, the situations that caused various problems can not only be used on the Americans, but also on many German generals.

At this time, Raidel did not intend to make any suggestions to the Americans. He was just reading the US Navy's battle plan and relevant regulations. It has to be admitted that regardless of whether the battle can be successful or not, at least so many warships can be brought to local depths to launch a strike. Just this is simply that Sims and his staff team are already very strong! Hundreds of various warships and ships, together, launched an expedition of thousands of kilometers in the depth of the enemy's defense. This is really not easy. There are many places worth learning from.

At this time, Logan, who had been incorporated into the aircraft carrier detachment, was considering fleet air defense and attack with his colleagues in the US Navy. Unlike the German Navy's request that the aircraft carrier captain must have pilot experience, the commander of the US Navy's aircraft carrier fleet can be from non-air personnel. For example, the current old Fletcher is the commander of the US aircraft carrier detachment, and the armored cruiser detachment he originally commanded was handed over to others.
