This is really bad news, when did you think of it? Majiphin asked.

After the action began. Of course, it is too late to say that everything is too late. I am telling you now just to remind you to make a reservation plan for our fleet, and to shoot the bow without turning back. I believe that our animals will be worth it this time! Sims said firmly.

Well, even if there were some accidents, the two Japanese Nagamon-class battleships were in service in advance, and we were still evenly matched with the opponent. Maybe we would lose money, but the Japanese would definitely feel more uncomfortable than us. This is also the starting point of your idea?

Crown Prince Ruprecht once said, only by giving the enemy a chance to win will the enemy fight you. Therefore, sometimes we need to take off our helmets, create opportunities for the other party, and then attract them to attack us. Only in this way can we end the battle as soon as possible. I understand your thoughts. Majiphin said.

Perhaps, at the beginning of the battle preparations, Sims did ignore the repair progress of the main battleships and war-injured warships that the Japanese Navy might have supplemented. However, as time goes by and the plan enters the implementation stage, Sims' concerns about the strength of the Japanese Navy are also increasing. After all, time is passing day by day, and the Japanese warships are also working overtime to build or repair.

But many things are like this, and once they start, they can't stop. Politically, this matter has even received high attention from the US President and Congress and strongly supported it. How can you not fight if you say you don't fight? And in military terms? As Crown Prince Ruprecht said, many battles will only happen if the other side seems to have a chance, especially the Japanese Navy. Because of their mobility and inside advantage, they can choose to avoid war. And if you want to fight with the Japanese fleet, how can you fight if you don't give them a little chance? So Sims is willing to try it. Of course, the price of trying may be very high. When the strength of both sides is roughly equal, the US Navy is more likely to lose some tactical things, but as long as you don't lose much, it will be a big profit for the Americans!

There are now 11 battleships in the Japanese Combined Fleet, including 9 fast battleships and 2 slow speeds. If the two Nagamon-class battleships of the Japanese Navy were completed this time, then our situation will be a bit difficult. The other side has 13 battleships, while we only have 11. Both sides have 2 16-inch main gun battleships, and the 6 Fuso-class are one level stronger than our 14-inch battleships. Although the Japanese Navy has three weak ships, they have the advantage in numbers. Overall, I feel very unstable. Only Majiphin and Sims are present, so some things Majiphin said very directly.

But we really don’t have a suitable warship. You can’t let the old ship that has been in service for 10 years run so far, right? No matter whether it is a newly ordered warship or a warship on the ship platform, Sims is not sure about it, so he looks for Majiffen. As a navy general, Sims knew that the US fleet could only return along the same route after attacking Dalagen Island, because from now on until entering the real high seas, the US fleet will never get a trace of supplies! If you detour, the voyage is not enough, unless you are willing to slow down. Majiffen just said that the Japanese fleet is likely to encounter it, but it is actually optimistic. It is not possible to encounter it, but it will definitely encounter it.

To be honest, 11 ships are acceptable for the US fleet, but 11 ships are very hungry when they fight 13 ships. Even if these two warships are slow warships and are dreadnoughts! Naval battles are sometimes so mysterious, and a straw is sometimes really fatal! And this is the home court of the Japanese Navy. If the Japanese Navy's warship is damaged, it can be towed back for repair. However, if the US Navy warship is slowed down, then you can basically fight ggs. Control of the battlefield is very important.

Our aircraft carriers have advantages. The Japanese may have aircraft carriers of the same number as ours, but their pilots are definitely not enough. Because of this war, it is difficult for our pilots to replenish. Even though the Japanese have a good geographical location, their foundation is even worse. Now the level of Japanese front-line pilots has dropped significantly. The prisoners we captured and the information obtained all show that many of their aircraft carrier pilots were transferred to land-based aviation stations and were consumed. Therefore, relying on the carrier-based aircraft of five aircraft carriers, if we can first find the opponent, there is still a chance to gain an advantage. As long as we can grasp the advantages of aviation and cooperate with a large number of auxiliary warships, even if we lose, we will not lose much. Majifen said.

Although the Japanese controlled the Talao Islands, if the Japanese Navy established a large-scale aviation base here, the archipelago would become the strongest gate in the eastern Sulawesi Sea, and even if there was a certain force, the US fleet would not pass this time. But unfortunately, the Japanese did not, or their national strength did not allow them to deploy too strong power in such a sub-region. The Japanese Navy's aviation combat effectiveness was indeed continuing to decline. After all, the battle has been almost a year since the battle. With Japan's national strength and aviation capabilities, after losing more than four-digit crews, except for the British who held it tightly as the trump card in their hands, other airlines have begun to become weak.

And to be honest, every aircraft carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy is definitely over-programmed in the eyes of the Japanese. Four aircraft carriers can bring together nearly 5 aircraft carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese, not to mention that there are 5 on his own! The estimate of the Japanese Navy is 4! If the US Navy carrier-based aircraft unit can launch a wave of attacks before the battleship unit fights, even if it is a trick to deal with the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier, the US Navy is also a comrade. A large number of attack aircraft carrying bombs and torpedoes can definitely effectively interfere with the Japanese Navy battleship detachment. In addition, the US Navy's auxiliary warships with absolute advantage, Majifen is not afraid of a battle with the Japanese joint fleet.

In addition to the battle fleet, we have absolute advantages whether it is aircraft carrier cruisers or destroyers! I have sufficient confidence to win this encounter, if the Japanese dare to come. Majifen said.

I feel relieved with you. Sims patted Majiphin on the shoulder and said.
Chapter completed!
