"It's all like this. If the United States and Virtues still fight in the first battle, what a surprise would it happen!" When Majiphin asked this question, the prince even suspected that he had heard it wrong. How did the United States of America cooked in this dish come together with the German Empire of poisonous vegetables? The conflict between this ******* is too great.

Well, think about the relationship between the US and the Arab princes in another plane, and the prince was relieved again. Without it, he was just profit-oriented! Just to overcome the current diplomatic environment and international status of the United States. Not to mention that Germany is an imperial system, even slavery must be won over!

The prince firmly believes that as far as the current relationship between the United States and Germany is concerned, as long as the British-Japanese alliance does not collapse, as long as Japan still occupies the Philippines and blocks the United States' access to the Far East, then the United States will have no possibility of reconciliation with Britain and Japan, and there will be no possibility of joining the Allies during the First World War!

The possibility of the United States participating in the opening of films between the Allies and Britain and France is not high. It is not that the United States does not have this strength, but because it is difficult for them to go to war with powerful countries without being greatly stimulated! But even so, it does not mean that the US Navy has nothing to do with Germany.

The reason is very simple. The Americans may not officially start a fight with the Allies, but the United States who are determined to enter East Asia will definitely not be able to deal with the Japanese! Not to mention whether they can fight, as long as they can restrain the Japanese fleet! In history, the Japanese Navy has participated in many operations in the Mediterranean. Although the main warships have not been sent to participate in the battle in the North Sea, the prince must also be prepared to deal with this situation.

After all, the Japanese must understand that if Germany did not fall in one battle, Germany would definitely liquidate what Japan did in the Far East during the war. A large area of ​​the German Pacific colony was taken away by Japan! If the British really couldn't do it, then Japan might really send their super-dreadnoughts to Europe!

In history, before the end of World War 1, the Japanese also gathered 8 super fearless ships, four 12-Architecture God Cult, and four King Kongs are also a terrifying force! Not as good as the three countries of Britain, Germany and the United States, but much higher than other powerful forces! If the Betty fleet plus four King Kongs were added, Hippel would be in trouble! The biggest trouble is that the joining of the Japanese fleet will greatly strengthen the maritime escort ability of the Allies, which will lead to a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the German Navy's most deadly breaking war.

Therefore, in order for the German Empire to win the battle smoothly, the US Navy still needs to be more powerful! At least, the Japanese Navy cannot feel too leisurely! But that's it, the geographical problems of the Americans in this plane are really serious. How many correct is Mahan's theory of sea power? The prince is unwilling to evaluate it, but at least for that sentence, the tragic geographical environment cannot be compensated by fleets. The prince thinks it is the truth in this era! (Do you have this sentence? Just think that there is one--!)

Without the Philippines, even Guam and American Samoa were lost, and Hawaii has not yet been included in the territory of the United States. Of course, if the Americans' actions satisfy the Germans this time, the United States would soon get Hawaii. However, even so, it is still not easy for a large fleet to cross such a long distance to enter the Far East without supply without supply.

The warfare of the large fleet is different from the global navigation of the Great White Fleet, and also from the desperate journey of the German Fleet in history. The materials and logistics required can be described as terror! This is not a matter of simply bringing enough fuel and food! The aging of machinery and fatigue of personnel after the long voyage is enough to make the fleet lose most of its combat effectiveness. The encounter of the Russian fleet in the Battle of Mahjong in history, as well as the armored cruiser that could only run less than 15 knots before the final battle of Earl Spee.

The armored cruiser of the 23rd quarter ended up not running for the 15th quarter! What kind of combat effectiveness can it have if it is like this? The US fleet agrees to have this problem. There is no relay port or supply. Facing the powerful Japanese fleet, the Americans seem to have not done much!

"If our cooperation can continue to deepen, then the United States' fleet should be able to be deployed in the Marshall Islands, German Samoa, and Emperor William's land in the future. Is that true?" Majiphin asked tentatively. Because this problem is very likely to cause disgust from the other party, he said it very carefully.

"The United States fleet was not a problem in peacetime in the Empire's Far East territory, which did have a certain impact on Japan. However, if war begins, a fragile island chain system that your country has worked hard to manage has no effect at all." The prince mercilessly overturned the other party's assumption.

"Because it's very simple, these islands only solve the problem of existence or not, and cannot truly form combat effectiveness. In addition to some political issues, the most important thing is distance and island facilities!"

"Although the Marshall Islands are relatively close to Hawaii, the straight-line distance is about 3,200 kilometers! If it is a large fleet, it will take about 180 hours to arrive. This is still calculated based on the straight line. This is 7 to 8 days. And this is just reaching the edge of Japan's strength range."

"The core line of defense of the Japanese extends from the local Ogasawara Islands to the Philippines. If your country wants to strike it, it will still need to go thousands of kilometers away. Whether in the Marshall Islands or the Carolina Islands, your country's fleet still cannot get enough supplies and maintenance. Faced with the Japanese fleet that is waiting for it in the Philippines, the chance of victory is still not high."

"At least, in my opinion, under the current circumstances, using a large fleet to seek breakthroughs in the central Pacific is a dead end. Although the battle in the central Pacific is important, it is definitely not so big. If your country really wants to defeat its opponents through the large fleet, then the direction you choose should be in the northern Pacific! And your starting position should be here!"

Prince Ruprecht pointed heavily on the Aleutian Islands with his hands. "If the fleet set out from here, it would be much closer, and the United States' fleet will directly attack Japan's most vulnerable places!"

"But the natural environment of the Aleutian Islands is very bad. Although the warm currents flow through the port, the situation in the port is relatively good, but this construction is a very long process." Majiphin said with some embarrassment.

"The most important thing is that the best alternative port we once chose is still too far away from Japan." Americans have thought about this problem, but compared with the beautiful Hawaii and Marshall Islands, Americans still look down on the bitter and cold places in the north.
