That's right, it's calculated that the fuel needed for cruise ships to go directly to the front line and to arrive at Pearl Harbor is definitely different. This kind of troop transport cruise ship usually takes two routes, one arrives in Hawaii, and the other is to directly send troops to the Bismarck Islands. It's completely impossible for such cruise ships to go to other Pacific islands. After all, there is no need for other islands to deploy nearly 10,000 American soldiers at once, right? Why are they going to those small islands? Are they basking in the sun?

After mastering this information, combined with the British Royal Navy's reconnaissance operations at sea, the British and Japanese navies have a greater possibility of intercepting US maritime transport ships. Of course, whether this can be done well depends on the front-line operations of the US and Japanese navies.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that his intelligence determines the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. A large transport fleet has thousands of people (including the escort fleet). If a US Navy transport ship can really be captured, then the US 6th Army officers and soldiers of more than 7 ooo can be eliminated from this war, whether it is capture or massacre!

If we look at it from the present, the British Navy's intelligence collection work can be described as 70 points. Whether it is maritime investigation or the collection of transportation information in the United States, the British's approach is completely excellent. However, even so, it is still a little bit worse to intercept the American transport fleet efficiently. Therefore, the British tried their best to make this matter 90 points!

Betty and Shigetaro Yoshimatsu could think of the US Navy’s water replenishment base on Christmas Island, so how could the British intelligence department have not imagined? The last detail of the British’s intelligence work on the US Navy’s transport fleet is the problem of the water replenishment boat on Christmas Island! And this time, the British were working hard enough, not only the intelligence staff, but even the regular naval submarines were dispatched!

"Gentlemen, our end has arrived. The brothers of the Navy have sent us here, and the rest depends on ours." Major Wintour said to his subordinates on the K4 submarine of the Royal Navy.

If you want to know the operation of the US Navy ships on Christmas Island, the best way is to go directly to the island to see the situation. Although the Americans controlled the island, they did not deploy too much military force. After all, it is far away from the battlefield and has just been occupied. Therefore, in addition to the staff, the number of regular combat troops here is only about 2Os. And the 2Os wanted to control this island with an area of ​​1O square kilometers was obviously a joke. There are a large number of unmanned areas on the coast of the island to choose to climb 6, and the task force led by Major Wintour is to board the island, then collect intelligence, and then send out the relevant information.

Well, now there is a problem that even if the British carried the reporter, it is absolutely impossible to keep in touch with the nearest British radio station directly. After all, the distance is a bit far, so how can this problem be solved? The result is still on the K4 submarine.

The K4 submarine will not leave after sending Major Wintour's contingent to Christmas Island. He will hide in the waters around the island during the day and float to the surface at night. Then he will receive Major Wintour's telegram. After receiving it, he will use the large radio station on the submarine to get the information out. After several transfers, he will finally be sent to the British Royal Navy and the Japanese Navy.

The K4 submarine is also responsible for replenishing supplies and weapons to the contingent members, and then withdrawing these personnel when necessary. As for how long can the K4 submarine and Major Wintour's contingent last? The answer is at least half a year! The K4 submarine is almost the largest submarine built by the Royal Navy in World War I, with a surface displacement of 1980 tons. The underwater displacement is as high as 2566 tons, and it was originally equipped with 10 18-inch torpedo tubes. After the war, the submarine was improved, and a large number of weapons were removed, and the space saved was used to accommodate fuel, supplies, and special equipment. The K4 submarine is almost the largest special purpose submarine in the British Navy.

It can be seen that the British are working hard enough for this action. Of course, the British also have to make the worst plans, such as if they fail this time, what if the intelligence personnel are caught by the Americans? Although the British stand with the Japanese, they will never be directly involved in large-scale armed conflicts.

So in addition to preparing a portion of cyanide poison for everyone, none of Major Wintour's contingent has a nationality in Britain. Among them are Japanese and Southeast Asian. The officers led the team have become people from other countries not long ago, such as Major Wintour. If he had to verify his identity, he was a "Russian"! The yellow people in the contingent naturally come from Asia, while most of the whites have a South American or Russian nationality!

After using a periscope to observe the surrounding sea surface and confirm safety, the k4 submarine surfaced. The captain personally led the team to walk on the deck and observed the surrounding sea area. Then Major Wintour and his team members came to the deck with their respective equipment. They used inflatable kayaks as transportation to complete the last journey before logging in. Weapons, ammunition, food, radio and accessories, fuel, tents and other supplies were moved to the inflatable boat. After checking the items for the last time, the 15-person team left the k4 submarine.

"I wish you all the best. In a few months, I hope I will take you all back safely." The captain of the K4 submarine said, holding Major Wintour's hands before leaving.

"Try to do it, you must be careful. The surrounding waters are not absolutely safe, and some American warships will pass here," said Major Wintour.

An hour later, the Major and his team members came to the pre-selected 6 rounds. They hid the kayak in a culvert, while the rest of the men led by a guide to the pre-selected area, which was the mountainside of a mountain, hidden among strange rocks and trees. If they wanted to observe the situation in the port area, they could see it with a telescope. If they wanted to retreat, they could quickly retreat to the hidden kayak through the passageway selected in advance and leave the island.

The team was divided into two groups, one was responsible for observing the movement of American ships at the port with a telescope, while the other was responsible for monitoring the radio contacts of the US military through radio equipment. They may not be able to decipher the specific content of the telegram, but at least they can find some rules.
