"Why not choose the Solomon Islands? It is further away from Guinea Island and is on the verge of support from Japanese aviation forces. The U.S. and German fleets will have a great tactical advantage." Su Xiong asked.

"If we take the Solomon Islands as our first goal, we will eventually face Rabaul, which is the northern barrier of Guinea. We will occupy it sooner or later. And the distance from our frontline base to the two places is similar, so we decided to take a more direct approach," explained Majifen.

"However, the distance between the Japanese is much different from that between the two places." Su Xiong sighed and said.

"Okay, we respect your country's opinions." The Crown Prince said. Obviously, the Americans must have weighed the pros and cons before making the plan. Benson and others must have considered the risks, but in the end they still decided to fire the first shot in Rabaul. There must be considerations from all aspects. The Germans are just a visiting army, and it is meaningless to worry about these things because you cannot change the Americans' decision. Instead of doing this, it is better to consider how to fight this war well.

"The Japanese stationed at least three divisions on New Britain and New Ireland, with an air force of about 500 aircraft. The fleet anchorage is not yet known. The Japanese seem to have prepared several anchorages, and their fleets are scattered." Majifen said.

"So is there an alternative anchorage for the US and German navy to attack New Britain?" asked the Crown Prince. Although the eastern Micronesia run by the Americans is already very close to New Britain on the map, it is still a bit far away for the current naval fleet. So there must be a turnaround anchorage in the middle.

"The Krut Atoll in the Caroling Islands. The waters inside this atoll can accommodate the entire German fleet, and airports and docks can also be set up on the atoll." Majifen said.

"Krut Atoll, I know this. Isn't this the anchorage of the Japanese Joint Fleet in World War II in history? Well, it has now become the anchorage of the US fleet..." The Crown Prince said in his heart. Truk Atoll is indeed a very important throat place in the Western Pacific. From a geographical point of view, under the conditions of World War II, Truk Atoll can protect the Philippines and routes to Japan. At the same time, it can also provide support to Japan in Guinea. It can be said that the attack direction of the US Navy was blocked from two directions.

However, during this plane, the Japanese gave up the plan to use this place as a naval anchorage. The reason is very simple, because during this period, the warships on both sides were mixed with kerosene... The endurance is a problem. Even if the US military controlled the Truk Atoll, it was impossible to attack the Philippines, and it was very difficult to attack the Rabaul area. Instead of this, the Japanese might as well pull the defense back to their own side to wait for the effort.

"Can you tell me the plan more specifically?" asked the Crown Prince.

"If our operation to establish a naval anchorage in Crook Atoll can be implemented as planned, then we will attack New Ireland Island north of Rabaul, and land in a suitable place to establish an airport and a dock. Then, attack Rabaul from both sea and air directions. It is estimated that the Japanese joint fleet and land-based air force will attack us at this time, but the problem should not be big. During the day, they will definitely not dare to show up. Our carrier-based aircraft can easily discover the Japanese fleet hundreds of kilometers away, and we hope that the Japanese will fight a decisive battle. The most troublesome thing is the night battle. We need to ensure the safety of the docks, airports, temporary anchorages at sea and the fleet itself."

"Also, the United States Navy is not very adaptable to night battles. We lack enough experienced officers and practical experience." Majiphin said very tactfully.

"Okay, then what is the mission of our German fleet?" Su Xiong thought about it and asked.

"Please take on a night alert mission with the battleships we selected," said Majifen.

"Then the loss of this battleship is a bit large. If the deployment time of this maritime combat exceeds one month, the situation of the Bavarian-class battleship will be worse." Su Xiong thought for a while and said. The Bavarian-class battleship was born for the decisive battle. In order to maximize combat efficiency in the North Sea, Bavaria chose a small water pipe boiler in the power system. At the same weight and volume, the small water pipe boiler is more efficient than ordinary boilers, but there are also disadvantages, that is, replacement and maintenance are more troublesome. This is why the warships started by the Royal Navy did not use small water pipe boilers. In fact, the British had small water pipe boilers for a long time, and even the German boilers had some connection with the British...

"If we cannot completely damage the Japanese fleet, then before our army controls the two islands, we will probably sleep with our eyes open every night," said Majiphin.

"The area of ​​New Britain is 37,000 square kilometers, and the area of ​​New Ireland is 8,500 square kilometers. With the surrounding islands, the total area is as high as 50,000 square kilometers. There are more than 100,000 Japanese troops stationed here, and it is difficult for us to cut off the Japanese maritime supply line. This is really a tough battle." said the crown prince.

"Yes, the United States of America has never experienced such a large-scale war. For this battle, the army alone plans to invest more than 250,000 troops. The navy is even more doing its best. However, if this battle can be fought well, then maybe we can end the war within a few months." Majiphin said.

"But it is possible to lose this war within a few months." Ruprecht said in his heart. In this battle, the US Navy may indeed directly damage the Japanese Navy and win the war, but at the same time, the Japanese Navy may also severely damage the Americans. The length of the battleship construction cycle has prolonged the duration of the war. What if the United States suffers in this battle? Then if it does not want to stop this war, then it can only accumulate strength slowly. Moreover, if the Japanese understand the principle of stop loss, and give up here and retreat to the second line when the navy is frustrated, then there is also a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. With the support of the British, there may not be no ability to bite back in the future. After all, the Americans are not fighting hard this time, while the Germans are just working this time!

"If the situation does not allow it, I think appropriate concessions are also beneficial." Ruprecht decided to remind Americans not to go too far.

"Thank you for your reminder, we will pay attention. Also, I would like to ask, can your country send more submarines into the Pacific?" Majifen continued after finishing his statement: "All the fees are not a problem. We will pay compensation for each submarine and the personnel above."
