Chapter 2568 Battle
The advantage of this layout is that the main American fleet can undertake the expulsion task, and the German fleet can support anywhere in the inner circle with high speed.
However, if this is the case, Betty is really worried about what if the German fleet rushed out to give the Japanese a chance to attack the transport ships in the core area when the Japanese fleet attacked the transport ships in the core area! Turn around and attack the German fleet? What if they release smoke and escape? This restraint makes the Japanese the most uncomfortable. The German fleet is like a wolf hanging behind you, making you frightened, and at the same time there is no way! Unless the Japanese fleet can obtain a very good combat situation and severely damage the Suxiong fleet at the first time!
It is difficult for the weak side to formulate a perfect combat plan, and even if the plan is perfect, there will be many loopholes in implementation. From Betty's perspective, the plan he formulated is already very good, because the Japanese have such high requirements. If you want to use this battle to change the situation of the entire battle, and to do this, you must attack the transportation fleet in the core area! And in this case, how could the Japanese fleet not take risks? You can accuse Betty of hiding a lot of things in the plan, but one thing is right, that is, this plan is the best choice!
Betty has already said it very clearly. This time, the Japanese fleet may meet Su Xiong, which will bring great uncertainty to the entire plan. On the tactical level, what will happen between the Japanese and German fleets, that is not something Betty can imagine. After all, the battlefield situation is too complicated, and it is not his own command. If it really happens, it will only be up to the performance of both sides.
In fact, from the perspective of God, Betty has analyzed the final deployment of the US and German fleet quite accurately. Betty has already thought that the Suxiong fleet may be in the inner ring and the US fleet is on the periphery. Unfortunately, the deployment of the Suxiong fleet is indeed the most annoying to the Japanese. In short, Suxiong has made his best defensive posture at present, and Betty is the same. In this case, the final result can only be determined by the fighting situation and performance on the spot between the two sides!
"Some people say that 70% of the commander's salary is for their performance on the spot. I just don't know what the Germans will do this time and what the Japanese will do." Stedy said with a long sigh.
"What do you mean?" Betty raised his brows slightly, he could feel something in Steady's words.
"If you were asked to do a multiple-choice question, choose one of the sunk Suxiong fleet and severely hit the American transport fleet, which one would you choose?" Stedi asked.
"Of course it's the latter. Our goal is to keep the war on, not to infuriate the Germans, or simply to revenge the Royal Navy officers and soldiers who were missing in the war. I can tell the difference." Betty said. The heavy blow to the US transport fleet may cause the US landing war to die, at least delay the entire war for several months. As long as the war continues, Britain can continuously receive orders and money from the Japanese. This is the most important thing for Britain today.
What if the Su Xiong fleet is severely damaged or sunk? Maybe it can make Betty and others exclaim. It will also make the Germans feel dull on their faces, but this is the worst situation for Japan! People need shame, trees need bark, let alone countries! Perhaps in the eyes of the Germans, the victory or defeat of the Americans is not very important to them, but as a world power that has just reached the top, the Germans will take their face very seriously! The dignity and face of the empire need to be maintained with blood and fire!
If the Germans were really serious, not to mention the terrifying existence of the High Seas Fleet and even the Austro-Hungarian fleet that could fight two combined fleets together, the Germans just rowed out hundreds of submarines that they were stocked and prepared to demolish were enough to make the Japanese collapse! In Betty's eyes, the German submarines were somewhat fatal than the High Seas Fleet! What's more, this time, the German wolf pack was facing Japan, which was at least two levels worse?
So, Betty knew very well that he would not inflict the Germans at this time, otherwise, the fleet of Allied Powers would push the Japanese to the ground and rub them in minutes!
"Very good, let's work together and continue the unfinished career of the war. Perhaps this battle is the pinnacle of your military career! In a large-scale naval battle, command a disadvantaged fleet to achieve its strategic goals. Our names may be buried in waste paper, but in the future, one day, history will give us a fair evaluation." Stedy said after breathing a sigh of relief.
"Work together, everything is for the British Empire!" Betty said firmly.
Just as the Japanese fleet was preparing to launch an attack using the bad weather, the Americans were also preparing for the final war, and they also realized the arrival of the war. At this time, the fleet that could be mobilized in the hands of Thomas' fleet was like this.
He personally led the main force of the US fleet, with a total of three battleship units, the first, second and fourth. Among them, the first and second battleship units are fully organized, with a total of 10 super-dreadless battleships. The fourth battleship consists of the Florida, Utah and Wyoming, and one is missing. This battleship, Arkansas, is temporarily incorporated into a former battleship unit.
There are 9 ships in the former Dreadnought Fleet, two of which temporarily left the war zone because they were to replenish coal and replenish ammunition operations. The other seven Dreadnought and the Arkansas battleships formed a total of 6th and 7th battleships, one of which was responsible for fire support, and the other battleship team was responsible for night patrol. However, this fleet responsible for night patrol was responsible for defense in the east and was far away from the battlefield.
As for the core area, Benson did not forget the defense mission here. He left Su Xiong's fleet here, and also left a cruiser team composed of five armored cruisers. The person who commanded the armored cruiser team was also quite famous. His full name was Major General Fred Fletcher.
(Does this name sound familiar? It is somewhat similar to Fletcher, a famous American naval general in World War II? Yes, you guessed it right. Frank Jack Fletcher in World War II is the nephew of the above! In the future, the article will use the old Fletcher to refer to Fred Fletcher, and Fletcher Jr. to refer to Jack Fletcher, um.)
So, this is the final deployment trend of the main fleets of both sides before the war begins. With the approaching tropical storm, the first large-scale war between the United States and Japan is about to begin!
