The only purpose of avoiding the US submarine force is the bad weather a few days ago! All American submarines in this sea area did not float all night, and if they observe the harsh sea conditions of the team at night through the periscope, they can only get comfort... However, it is obviously unreasonable to leave the port on such a harsh night. After all, this ship does not undertake military tasks most of the time, and it is actually nothing to do if it is sooner or later.

Maybe the Japanese want to eat some pastries from their hometown? Maybe the Mamiya is cleaning up the coal warehouse and flue? Maybe the Japanese fleet is about to launch a large-scale operation, so the Mamiya is preparing to supplement the Japanese fleet with some specific foods? I can come up with ten thousand of these reasons! You are a little nervous. Charles frowned and said.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the Japanese supply fleet, had been equipped with, at least, more than 60,000 tons of heavy oil. Then, these refueling tankers disappeared, they did not appear in the waters north of the Philippines, all the oil transporters to Japan were low-speed ships, so, no, now, what is their purpose, this Japanese supply fleet carrying tens of thousands of tons of fuel? Richard asked.

This should be the mission of the intelligence analysts of the Pacific Fleet, and it has nothing to do with us. While recalling the previous information, Charles said that he had indeed seen telegrams forwarded by the Admiralty on demanding the search for missing Japanese fuel transport ships. The Navy is very concerned about this aspect and has issued orders in this aspect at least three times. After all, in the Pacific, every large-scale operation of a sea-loading tanker can be seen as a sign of the beginning of a major battle!

And the most important thing is that we cannot prove whether you are right or wrong. We cannot enter the Davao Bay Military Port! And we do not have a plane to fly over the port. From the sea, it is impossible for us to discover the situation of warships in the port! Charles also said a little annoyed.

I feel that the situation has been very abnormal recently. Haven't you noticed that there are very few Japanese Navy aircraft trained over the Davao Bay? You know, there may have been 4 aircraft carriers in this port before, and the Japanese Navy carrier-based aircraft troops maintained a very high training frequency. During the day, at least 200 Japanese aircraft were trained in the sky above our heads. But now? If we don't consider the occasional anti-submarine ships, we can even take a breath during the day! This is a very abnormal thing. Such a big change will happen within a few days! Don't you feel that our pressure has become very small? Richard said.

So? These are things we cannot prove, what do you want to do? Are we going to write a telegram to write all the long essays you told me just now, and we can write a book and send it to Pearl Harbor? What do you think the staff members will think that we are making a big deal or have a problem with our heads? Charles said.

Richard was unable to convince his first mate to send a telegram with him to explain the changes in Davao Port. So Richard could only send this telegram to the headquarters in his own name, describing the unusual situation in recent days, and at the same time implicitly stated that the Japanese fleet might have left the port under the cover of bad weather a few days ago. Coincidentally, just a few hours after Richard sent the telegram, the Salmon submarine, which was also carrying out the same mission in Davao Port, also sent a similar telegram.

The Salmon has performed 4 missions in the nearby waters. The submarine personnel can feel the changes in this waters more keenly than others. Simply put, the pressure is reduced. If it is more complicated, it will be a bit metaphysical. It is like you are crazy about death next to a sleeping lion, enduring huge pressure. As a result, one day, you find that the pressure is gone, and then you feel a little different...

However, in the end, these two intelligences were like two stones thrown into the sea, and did not cause much trouble. As Charles said, this kind of unfounded information would not attract the attention of the senior management. After several forwardings, the two telegrams were accepted by the US Navy's intelligence department, and then they were thrown aside by an officer, and then simply recorded the content of the intelligence to be archived. In this way, nearly a week after the Japanese Joint Fleet left Davao Port, the US Navy still did not know that the Japanese had left the Philippines. Now, the Japanese Joint Fleet had bypassed New Guinea Island and Australia and began to sail towards the depths of the ocean!

Well, now the question is, what are the Americans doing now? What are the US Navy’s intelligence departments staring at? They have to have something to do, right? In fact, the US Navy’s intelligence departments are really busy. They are looking for the bait thrown by the Japanese before!

Have you found the Japanese attack ship? Sims asked while eating breakfast. Just two weeks ago, a team of transport ships were attacked 600 kilometers north of the Bismarck Islands. According to the information sent back, there were at least one Japanese warship participating in the attack of 10,000 tons or more!

Two days later, another transport fleet from Hawaii to the front line was also attacked. During this operation, the US escort warship discovered two large warships! The distance between the two attacks exceeded 1,500 kilometers, which can be concluded that it was the attack of two attack fleets. Faced with the attack on their major arteries, the US Navy's already relaxed nerves tense up again. Although the attacked fleet did not suffer much loss, in order to ensure the smooth flow of traffic, the White House directly issued an order to the Pacific Fleet, requiring Sims and others to clear the pirates as soon as possible!

No, the Japanese fleet was very careful this time, and I even felt that it was a bit too careful. All the warships involved in the breaking battle were very conservative when attacking. They usually used the attack at dusk and never did too much entanglement. They were the kind of fighting if they could fight, and ran away if they couldn't fight. They used the last few hours before dark to launch the attack, and immediately transferred after the fight. It was difficult for us to keep an eye on the opponent. Majifen said.
