"So you think the American transport fleet has almost no shortcomings?" Veron said with some unhappiness. The Germans' confidence after the war was unprecedentedly high. After all, such a powerful Allied system was destroyed by German iron fists in less than three years. What is the United States that even the Japanese could hit the ground on the ground? Now, Ron, who was born in the German High Seas Fleet, actually gave Americans such a high evaluation, which made Veron feel a little uncomfortable.

"The only disadvantage is that once such a transport fleet meets the opponent's large fleet, the losses will definitely be very amazing, because the opponent has enough warships to encircle and suppress large-scale fleets, and it is difficult to disperse and evacuate. The escort fleet originally used to deal with destroyers and submarines is also vulnerable to the real main fleet. Of course, the probability of such a situation is very low. After all, there are not many countries in the world with large fleets, and it is also risky and difficult for countries with this strength to surround and kill such a fleet in the depths of the ocean." Ron said.

"Is it very difficult?" asked Beron.

"We don't know how Americans are doing confidentiality at the top. In terms of the confidentiality of the fleet, the radio communication equipment on each ship is strictly limited. If you want to send long-distance reports, you must obtain approval from the US Navy personnel. The flagship of the escort fleet can send reports, but the content is encrypted and the frequency band will be relatively remote. This makes the fleet minimized due to the leakage of radio signals when sailing. If the confidentiality work is done well and the route planning is reasonable, then it is indeed difficult to find the target in the vast ocean simply by relying on the fleet's own reconnaissance methods." Ron said.

"So, aren't our wolves good? If the search target is so difficult, how will our wolves find their opponents?" asked Bellon.

"First, intelligence is the most critical factor. As for how to obtain intelligence, you don't need to know. The second wolf pack's own search target relies on tracking on the sea during the day, and this method has been restricted by American destroyers and seaplanes. The American escort system is really powerful." Ron naturally could not tell Bellon about too many details, but Ron still revealed some inside information about this person who did not get a salary and cooperated with his compatriots.

"Okay, the Americans are here, and our conversation ends here. I'll do mine first. It depends on yours as much as you can take out." Veron whispered to Ron as he looked at the U.S. Navy crew members who were walking over.

"Lt. Harry, I want to ask, how long will it take to go?" Ron stepped forward and asked after Bellon left.

"It will take about 3 hours. We have to wait for the arrival of at least two fleets." Harry said. Although the top leaders of the United States and Germany have become very stalemate, Americans are still relatively friendly to Germans among the people and the middle and lower levels of the government. After all, before that, the friendly relations between the United States and Germany have lasted for more than 20 years. Second Lieutenant Harry's generation has almost grown up in the atmosphere of friendship between the United States and Germany. Many historical influences cannot be eliminated in an instant. To be honest, the direct reason for the breakdown of the relationship between the two countries this time is still the Americans!

"I actually find it hard to understand. How does a huge fleet with nearly a hundred ships coordinate? To some extent, commanding such a huge fleet is no less than commanding a large fleet?" Ron asked curiously.

"Your Excellency must have not worked in a large ranch, right?" Ron said very friendly: "In fact, this is very similar to using sheepdogs to manage sheep flocks. It is difficult for a single flagship to manage so many fleets, so we organized the fleet into groups and then formulated one of the ships as a group flagship. These people who serve as group commanders are veterans, and they can command small fleets efficiently. And we try to maintain a large distance in the group. When it is necessary to change the course or encounter emergencies, we also have enough space and time to adjust. In addition, all the captains on the ship have undergone simple training, such as what to do in the face of abnormal situations, how to better coordinate the fleet, etc. It is difficult to say, but as long as the participants walk a few more times, it will not be so difficult."

"So if you encounter an ambush from the other submarine and there are casualties, how will your country deal with and rescue?" Ron asked.

"If we encounter only a small-scale submarine attack, then we will ask the ships inside the fleet to maintain formation! Unless there is a torpedo attack, we cannot leave the queue. As long as we can suppress the internal instability factors, a small number of submarines are not a big problem for our escort force. If a ship is sunk, we will ask other ships to continue sailing, and the rescue mission will be handed over to professional ships." Ron explained in detail.

Three hours later, when all the fleets were gathered together, this large transport fleet numbered Cormorant embarked on its journey. This fleet consisted of 80 various transport ships, 10 destroyers and 5 auxiliary cruisers. The total tonnage of the transport ship exceeded 500,000 tons! They will carry more than 400,000 tons of food, weapons, ammunition, and various daily necessities across half the Pacific Ocean to reach Hawaii. Just as the large transport fleet of Cormorant departed, another special transport fleet was also carrying transportation tasks, but unlike the cormorant transporting a large amount of supplies, they transported people!

At this time, in the port of Los Angeles, a tall cruise ship was parked at the best position in the port. This cruise ship was purchased by the Americans from Germany not long ago. It was a new cruise ship with a displacement of up to 30,000 tons and a maximum speed of 27 knots. It once won the blue ribbon, with excellent anti-sink design, super high speed and good navigation performance that made the Americans look at this ship at a glance, and directly bought it from the Hamburg Shipping Company in a premium manner.

The ship was then modified in a US shipyard to better transport personnel. Yes, the personnel transportation of the US Army and the ordinary material transportation are separated. The so-called large-scale transportation fleet is not used to transport personnel, because Americans feel that the speed is too slow and there are risks. After all, even the so-called high-speed fleet is only about 10 knots, and a cruise ship with good conditions can ensure that the entire range is at a high speed of more than 23 knots. If it comes to long-distance running, high-speed cruise ships are actually more powerful than ordinary fast battleships!
