Moreover, this fleet has a strong intelligence collection ability. Otherwise, the No. 6 seaplane would not have been shot down. And it is certain that the No. 6 seaplane was not shot down after reporting, because the report time was not long, and the other party's plane would definitely not be able to take off after detecting the radio signal. The only explanation is that the No. 6 seaplane was seen before reporting, but it happened to be shot down when reporting. It is very likely that it was discovered by a destroyer or other platform. It can even be said that this time, Cunningham was lucky to stand here to report to Goodnow. He was not noticed by the other party, and he did not report to him.

Therefore, through the above information, a large fleet came here secretly. Of course, the British and Japanese did not know the specific situation, such as how large the fleet is? What is the composition? What are they doing here? No one knows! Even they are unlikely to track this fleet tomorrow. The reason is very simple. One night is too long, enough for a fleet to run more than 30 kilometers! And the next day, the range will become larger. After all, even if you send a seaplane at the first time, the cruise will be less than 10 kilometers per hour. If you go, others will also go. The search range will increase exponentially! Then, if you draw a circle, you will know how difficult it is to find this fleet again!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Of course, Cunningham doesn't believe that this fleet will attack him. After all, there is really no target on the Talao Islands worthy of such a large-scale fleet attack. Just say that you are a seaplane airport. To be honest, let the two front fearless ships come and fight directly for half an hour and then you will be all leveled. Use such a large-scale fleet to attack yourself? Haha, this is really a big deal. You can kill a chicken with a slaughter. Do American taxpayers know how their money is wasted? Well, now the question is, what is this American fleet doing here?

However, neither Cunningham nor Goodno knew how to answer this question. There are too few situations now, and even the size and composition of this fleet are speculations. How could they know the purpose of this fleet? And what is even more tragic is that the Talaw Islands are at a crossroads. To the north, it is the Davao Bay, the base of the Japanese Joint Fleet. To the west is the Sulawesi Sea, and you can go directly to Kalimantan and Sulawesi. To the southeast is New Guinea. The US fleet can find enough reasons wherever it goes. So, now the problem is, choose one of three, where will the US fleet go? Even if Goodno solved this problem and determined the general direction, no one knows what the US fleet wants to do!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"To the east, it is the headquarters of the Joint Fleet. Is the US fleet going to fight for the Joint Fleet?" When he thought of this, Goodnow felt cold all over. Although he didn't believe in this decision, after all, Davao Bay is not small, and as the headquarters of the Joint Fleet and has been operating for more than ten years, his defense is also very strong. However, the US fleet is really huge. If he can get the first advantage, it is not impossible to make a strong wave. More importantly, the Americans can afford to lose, but the Japanese can't afford to lose.

"To the west is to enter the Sulawesi Sea, which is one of the busiest seas in the southern colonial areas of Japan. Whether it is from Kalimantan, Sulawesi Island or Java Island in the south, it will appear in the Sulawesi Sea. It is possible for the Americans to cut off this place, but this is the hinterland of the Japanese Navy after all, and it is risky for the American fleet to come here, so this can only be a possibility." Goodnow said in his heart.

"The southeast is New Guinea Island. If the US Navy wants to block the maritime traffic on New Guinea Island, it is feasible, and it is even possible to directly bombard the coastal ports of New Guinea Island. However, there is a lack of sufficient examples." So, after a rough analysis, Goodno found himself clueless! And worse, he has not been able to report to the superior authorities.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The reason is very simple. How do I write this telegram? The flight squadron I belong to has a suspected American fleet. The specific location is unknown, the size of the fleet is unknown, and the direction of travel is unknown. We don’t know what you ask. It’s just based on speculation and feeling that it should be a large fleet. There is a high probability of causing trouble when I come here... Isn’t this telegram going out to seek a draw?

However, no matter what, Goodnow thought that this matter could not be delayed. After all, such a large fleet came in without anyone noticing. No matter what the other party came to do, it was not something that the Japanese could bear easily. So, without saying a word, after spending nearly half an hour discussing the content and wording of the telegram, Goodnow left the telegram... After another half an hour, the telegram was placed on Betty's table!

"The content of this telegram is too vague, right?" Stedee said to Betty. "Goodno is also a veteran. How could such a telegram with no specific value?" Stedee's words were already dissatisfied with making trouble, but he did not throw the telegram aside. Goodno is a steady person and he will never catch the scene. Even if there is not enough evidence, if the main force of the US fleet appears in the nearby waters, it is really worthy of the attention of the Japanese Navy.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Well, what is the Japanese Navy doing now? At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Combined Fleet reached a new peak when the war started! Two Nagamon-class battleships officially joined the Japanese Combined Fleet. A few days ago, the Japanese Combined Fleet also left the port to join the two aircraft carriers and one aircraft carrier, and then went to New Guinea after a period of running-in.

At this time, the entire Japanese Combined Fleet's 11 fast battleships, 4 aircraft carriers and a large number of destroyers, auxiliary warships were sailing in the southern waters of the Davao Bay. The Americans finally missed a step, or wasted too long in order to wait for two Colorado-class battleships. In this month, the last two Fuso-class battleships of the Japanese Navy completed the restoration, and the two Nagamon-class battleships and an aircraft carrier also formed combat effectiveness. The Americans' industry was indeed NB and the preparation was indeed fast, but for some reasons, the Americans' advantages did not transform into actual combat effectiveness.

"General Betty, General Stedy, the commander is invited." At this moment, a Japanese officer came to Betty's cabin and invited them to attend the military meeting.
