No, military cooperation between the United States and Germany will become history. Perhaps there will be no future. However, as the most powerful maritime force at present, the German Navy will inevitably keep a close eye on the situation of the Pacific War. All combat fleets have returned, but there are still some non-combat ships cruising on the ocean in the name of training in the Pacific Ocean. There is no doubt that they are collecting information from all parties. Majifen said.

As long as it is not too much, let them go! Sims sighed and said. The attitude towards the Germans, the senior U.S. Navy headed by Sims is very complicated. This attitude includes friendship as an ally, worship and respect for the strong, and fear as a potential opponent!

In fact, Sims has thought of one question more than once. If a certain agreement can be reached between the United States and Germany, the Germans control Europe, Africa and the Middle East, while the Americans control the entire America and the Pacific region, respect each other's interests and demands, how good is everyone to be at peace? In this way, the US Navy can save a lot of trouble. Even if Japan cannot be killed this time, if there is no German potential in the future, the US fleet that has done its best can easily overwhelm the Japanese. But unfortunately, everything is now stuck with Sims' own assumptions.

OK, now we can also intensify our relationship with the Germans. Majifin agreed with Sims' order. First of all, the Germans did not do anything excessive. On the other hand, Majifin and the Germans spent longer together and had a better relationship with each other.

I really didn't expect that we would join the American transport fleet now and then accept the escort of the US Navy. Bellon stood on the bridge of the Flying Fish transport ship and looked at the American transport fleet coming to this sea area in the distance.

Veron is a German, and his Flying Fish is also a German merchant ship. Although military cooperation between the United States and Germany has been terminated, civilian commercial trade is still in full swing. In order to meet the normal war and maritime needs, the Americans also rented German merchant ships at high prices to transport supplies. Considering that the Pacific Ocean is not stable, the German fleet serving the United States will join the escort fleet according to the arrangements of relevant American departments.

Let me tell you, Mr. Ron, from your professional perspective, how do you think Americans are doing? How do you compare with British people? Veron said to Ron next to him that his true identity is a German Navy officer, but now he is Veron's first mate. His mission is to participate in the escort operations of the US Navy and collect intelligence. Compared with the US Navy and the British Navy, the German Navy has hardly conducted large-scale merchant fleet ocean escort operations, and the US Navy's experience in related fields is very meaningful.

The Americans' escort level is very good, almost the highest level on this planet. Peron said, looking at the more than 40 transport ships gathered on the vast sea in the distance.

Well, well, from my perspective as a captain, it is a very amazing thing for Americans to manage and navigate such a large transport fleet in a unified manner. It is a very systematic problem. First of all, they designed a generalized ship, which is of moderate size, low price and can be built in a large amount of modularity. The ships produced by the entire American shipyard are almost the same, which makes them very easy to control when sailing, providing the possibility for the realization of large formations.

In addition, the large number of ship-on personnel and various radio equipment specially trained by the Americans also made the command and coordination of the transport fleet more beneficial. After the flagship responsible for escort issued the order, all the auxiliary personnel on the ship can cooperate with the captain to complete the dispatch and adjustment quickly, and when there is an accident, they can provide professional advice to the captain. This is done very well. From the perspective of transportation scheduling, I think the Americans are absolutely world-class. Peron gave the Americans a very high evaluation from the perspective of the organization and operation of the fleet, and this aspect is worth learning from the Germans in wartime.

Yes, the American method of centralized transportation is indeed very effective. From the simplest probability perspective, when passing through the same sea area at the same time, a large fleet is always easier to avoid the opponent's attack than ten small fleets. Even if it is discovered, the large fleet has enough escort warships to deal with most submarine attacks.

From a military perspective, in the face of a large transport fleet with a certain number of destroyers and auxiliary cruisers, the attack of submarines will be very bad, because if it is maintained in diving, it will be difficult for the submarine to keep up with the fleet. If it is maintained on the surface, the submarine cannot defeat the opponent's destroyers and auxiliary cruisers. This situation is simply fatal to the wolves. Especially those seaplanes are simply natural enemies of submarines. They hover in the air, which is enough to prevent submarines within dozens of kilometers around the fleet from showing their heads. There is no way to talk about tracking during the day, and there is no night siege. We can only say that fortunately, the Americans did not stand on the side of the Allies during the war, otherwise, our situation would be very bad. Ron looked at the American destroyers and seaplanes in the sky, cruising on the sea in the distance and the seaplanes in the sky.

But if the attacking party sends large warships, wouldn’t this size be the other party’s feast? Bellon thought about it and said.

First of all, we need to make it clear that the real main warship is a very valuable resource. Even the high seas fleet at its peak, we just arranged two fast battleships in the Indian Ocean. Most of the other warships are camouflage attack ships. The combat effectiveness of the camouflage attack ship may not be the opponent of the auxiliary cruiser modified by the Americans. Moreover, when you attack this large fleet, the opponent has a numerical advantage!

Secondly, even if you use a real battleship and successfully block the opponent under the influence of various factors, it does not mean that the next hunt will make you very happy. First of all, the other party has a seaplane. Have you noticed? With the sea conditions and visibility permits, the American seaplanes have been patrolling around the fleet, which allows the fleet to get early warning. The Americans can choose to delay the battle or disband the fleet and evacuate the large warships in small numbers. Faced with such dispersed ships, how many can you catch? Most transport ships can still escape. Ron has a very thorough analysis of the escort system of the American transport fleet.
