"So, I have to say that the Navy's active attack this time gave us an overwhelming advantage in the battle on the front battlefield. In 3 months, I can guarantee to build the airport, port and warehouse to the southernmost end of the Bismarck Islands, and across the sea from New Guinea. Anyone who has seen the world map should know how far the distance between the two is. Our bomber troops can even cover the depth of Laicheng on New Guinea Island, within a radius of 600 kilometers. As long as the weather permits, all operations of the Japanese fleet will be under our land-based bombers. The most constrained of all our previous battles was the lack of a huge aviation base, but now, with the absence of the Japanese fleet, we have everything!"

"As long as the US Navy cooperates, I can guarantee that I will control the entire Wimboy Island within 3 months! This 777 square kilometers island has sufficient area to serve as a springboard for our attack on New Guinea! And there is only a narrow Warrior Strait between the two. I think everyone should be clear about this huge strategic advantage. We can describe it by one foot that has stepped into the gate of New Guinea!" said Pershing.

"Holding the grass, and there is such an operation?" All the senior government officials, including Old Roosevelt, were shocked. They did not expect that a battle that was like this could turn into a big victory through such an explanation. They now finally understand what the meaning of a defeat on the battlefield and victory in the war, or it can be said that it is a victory that cannot be won?

If someone else excuses the Navy, then Roosevelt doesn't believe it, but now these words come from the mouth of an army general who doesn't like the Navy very much, that's different! The army has no need or reason to cover it up for the Navy. Moreover, the black old man Pershing is very good and trustworthy, so what he said is very credible. If even he thinks that this battle is profitable, then it is really profitable.

"On behalf of the Navy, I would like to thank you and the Army you represent for your support and encouragement to the Navy." Benson, who was standing aside, immediately expressed his gratitude. Pershing nodded slightly and returned the favor.

"So good. Since we have such an advantage, how should we fight in the next stage of the war?" Old Roosevelt asked. Although he did not specify who to answer, it was obvious that this question was told to Pershing. After all, the main navy force needs to rest when he returns, and the only one who can really control the front line is the Army.

"I hope that the current front-line fleet can cooperate closely with the army. When the Japanese Navy cannot return to the battlefield, we will work hard to expand our advantage." After saying that, Pershing looked at Benson.

"Hold the grass, no wonder you old fox is going to speak for the navy!" The art of war may only be 60 points, but Benson, who has enough experience in the system, has scored more than 85 points, suddenly felt that he understood the intention of the old man black before. At least 30% of this guy's purpose was to have the highest command on the front line!

Think about it, if he excuses the Navy, then the Navy must repay this favor. If the situation is favorable, then it is inevitable to expand the victory while taking advantage of the favorable situation. Now the navy has suffered heavy losses, and the navy is in a semi-remembered state in the next few months. So good, the only one who can dominate this battle is the army! However, from the perspective of the navy, such a result is not unacceptable. After all, the navy has suffered heavy losses, and now it can only be dominated by the army.

"At this stage, we are mainly about controlling the Bismarck Islands and preparing to land on New Guinea Island to capture Lai City. We need the navy to provide firepower support and escort for the army's offensive, and cut off most of the Japanese supplies. We need to push the front as far as possible when the Japanese Navy is unable to fight, and build a base chain." Pershing said.

"This is a good idea, and if you can come up with a reasonable and meticulous plan, then I think it's OK to lead the final work of the Battle of Bismarck Islands by the Army." said Roosevelt.

After Pershing made a guarantee, the atmosphere of the talks was still good, because the senior U.S. government officials were very happy to see the situation of the war, but the U.S. Army seemed to have gained great benefits, both on the battlefield and on politics, so they were also very happy. As for the Navy, it avoided the punishment faced by huge war losses. This meeting fundamentally tried a united conference and a victorious conference!

Although there are political purposes of the navy, if we look at it from the overall situation, this wave of US Navy's actions will be at least not a loss, although some consequences will take a long time to show. The losses of the Americans can be compensated, whether it is the South Dakota-class battleships that are being built in a step-by-step manner or the fast battleships purchased from Germany, they can make up for the losses of the US war fleet. As for aircraft carriers? The construction cycle of these warships is shorter, and because the battle will be launched around New Guinea in the future, the US ground-based air force with huge advantages can replace aircraft carrier-based aircraft in many fields, so there is no big problem. In addition, because aircraft carriers are easier to build, the losses of the US fleet are affordable.

But what about Japan? Not to mention the replenishment of the main battleship can only rely on warships ordered from Italy and Britain. At least the destroyer troops are almost destroyed as Shimamura Suo said. In terms of the situation, Japan has lost its most important barrier - the Bismarck Islands. The Bismarck Islands are gone, so next is New Guinea Island, and then the Americans can go deeper into the original Dutch East India step by step. The door has been opened, and the Japanese should even begin to consider how to cut their flesh and end the war!

With such a large-scale battle, the Americans need to re-arrange their own strategies, and the same is true for the Japanese side. In contrast to the Americans' unbeaten victory, the Japanese top leaders have realized that they have lost a little unbeaten! Yes, they are defeated unbeaten. Tactical victory cannot cover up the overall strategic decline! Although in terms of publicity, the Japanese government can use this big victory to inspire the national period, but when they turn around, they must deal with the mess left on the battlefield and economy. The shock of this "victory" is very great, so that the Japanese government's absolute top management, Nishimoto Kotoshi, the Navy's Honami, and the Army's Masatoshi Taruchi, came to the Philippines. They will listen carefully to the opinions of the senior leaders of the Joint Fleet and plan for future wars!

"Everyone, let's talk about your own opinions. Let's not talk about the right or wrong of the past for now. We must focus on the future. After all, the war must continue!" Nishiyuanji Gongwang set the tone for the normal meeting!
