"Although the American routes and choices seem a bit imaginative, according to our observations, Americans will set up some special points on the route. This point has a very easy-to-identify feature, that is, it is close to certain islands, and there are radio positioning facilities on these islands. According to the speculation of the technical department, Americans should use these positioning points to correct their routes. According to our reconnaissance and research, communications at these positioning points are very frequent. When the fleet arrives, the telegrams of these communication points will change. We have mastered some of the rules."

"When the U.S. transport fleet was sailing at sea, it was occasionally used to change its course to avoid possible submarine ambush, but after increasing the escort force, this maneuver became much less. On the one hand, it was because it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, it was very troublesome to adjust the course and speed of the entire transport fleet every time it was maneuvering."

"The fleet did not implement strict light controls when sailing at night. On the contrary, the merchant ships on the outermost side of the fleet were asked to turn on most of the lighting sources. From the sea, the entire fleet seemed to be surrounded by a circle of lights. The reason why the Americans adopted this method may be because of their trust in their escort power, but this method of turning on the lights on the peripheral side really made it more difficult for the Japanese Navy to attack. You should be very clear that even at night, submarines will surface when launching attacks in order to maintain high-speed maneuverability."

"There is a reason why Americans are confident in their own escort power. Perhaps it was stimulated by our former dreadnought attack before, and the U.S. Navy would then join former dreadnought and old armored cruisers in the escort fleet, which together with a large number of destroyers and camouflage merchant ships form the fleet's main defensive force. In this case, both the wolves attacks of submarines and the old battleships are bad."

The pieces of intelligence were collected from camouflaged reconnaissance ships at sea and sent to the British intelligence system. Later, after processing and integration, the intelligence was sent to the Japanese. Based on this intelligence, the British and Japanese could already sort out the general operation of the American transport fleet, but it is not possible to have this intelligence alone. The reason is very simple. Since it is a break, it is natural to choose the most valuable target to attack. The value of a ship carrying corn and canned food is completely different from the value of a ship carrying engines. Therefore, in order to choose the best attack target, the British must grasp what is placed in the ship! To obtain these data, intelligence personnel located in the United States must be used.

Some people may have said, how did British spies gain a foothold in the United States? First of all, since the Battle of the United States, Japan and the Philippines, Britain, which has supported Japan and attacked the Americans, has become a mortal enemy with the United States, and its threat level is second only to the Allies. In this case, isn’t it natural for the British to deploy spies in the United States?

As for the difficulty of deploying spies? How to say it? From a social perspective, is there any less difficulty of deploying spies than in another country with the same language? From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the United States experienced the tide of immigration noted in history. A large number of Europeans entered the United States through various channels, and the same was true for the British and Irish people. In this case, it is not too easy for British spies to enter the United States through the tide of immigration. After twenty years, these spies who are still in the active state have also penetrated into various departments of the United States. In addition, people who have stayed in the melting pot of immigration for 20 years, established families and have descendants, are also regarded as authentic Americans.

Although these people may not be able to penetrate some core institutions in the United States, many of them have already entered the middle or even senior management of the American social system. For example, Michael is like this. He is now an assistant to the mayor of San Francisco in the United States and is responsible for the related work of the San Francisco port.

"Mr. Michael is a new order issued by the military." At this time, in Michael's office, Major Paul, the military representative from the port of San Francisco, delivered a document to Michael's desk.

"The turnover efficiency of all military supplies must be improved? The storage time of canned food cannot exceed one month, weapons and ammunition must be reduced to 15 days, and Class A military supplies must be reduced to 5 days? IMHO, we cannot meet the requirements of the latter for the time being. You should be clear that the lifting of ammunition and heavy weapons requires a large number of technical personnel, and it is very complicated. Class A military supplies are all fine technical equipment, and the transportation and placement of these things require a large number of experienced personnel and excellent equipment, especially gyroscopes such as torpedoes and optical lenses." Michael said.

"Then recruit more people. Money and machinery are not a problem. If you make your request, then I will help you clear the relevant channels." Major Paul looked like he was holding a lot of money. Major Paul and Michael have been working together for a long time, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Michael used his connections in San Francisco to help Paul solve a lot of troubles. Major Paul also provided some conveniences for Michael, such as the current control of luxury goods such as tobacco and alcohol, he could get Michael some special products from the army. Of course, if someone needs it, some remaining materials seized on the battlefield can also be circulated, such as well as well as some well-made Japanese sabers and some British guns that are very popular in the American private gun market.

"No, no, no. Enough manpower and equipment are just one aspect. The logistics of the port is a very complex and scientific matter, and there are many things to pay attention to. For example, the throughput capacity of the cargo yard is limited, and the tonnage of the ships that can be docked is also limited. In order to ensure the efficient operation of the port, we arrange our loading and unloading according to the shipping table. However, you know that some military supplies, especially the emergency military supplies, will disrupt our loading and unloading plan. Before, when Class A military supplies were required to be transferred within ten days, we still had the opportunity to adjust the plan, but if it was compressed to 5 days, it would be really difficult. You know that the Port of San Francisco cannot serve the military only. So, I hope the military can send us a shipment notice in advance." Michael thought for a while and said.

"How many days in advance?" asked Major Paul.

"Ten days in advance," Michael said.
