The Rise of the Empire

\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Actually, although this result is unexpected, it is also reasonable, because both we and you, doubting the Germans, want this Italian battleship to appear in your country this morning It is in the fleet combat sequence, so it is normal for it to be completed so quickly." Shimamura Hayao said with a smile. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Japanese need this battleship and naturally want it to be completed quickly! The Germans need Italy to use practical actions to show a clean break with the Americans, so they also hope that this Italian battleship will be completed soon. And what about the British? We also hope that Italy will take the lead in selling completed battleships to the Japanese Navy during wartime. Only in this way, when the British Fury-class battleships are completed, the Americans will not take too harsh retaliation against the British. After all, the first round of anger Already let the Italians bear it! By the way, one more thing, the Italians also want to deliver it quickly, and then let the Japanese pay as soon as possible! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo with the cooperation of many parties, how could the construction speed of the battleship Calacciono be so slow? Many personnel from British shipyards joined the construction and outfitting of this warship. The turrets and artillery shipped from the British mainland greatly accelerated the outfitting of the warship. In the end, after the warship was completed, it went directly to the Far East for sea trials. Hurrying slowly, it finally caught up with this big battle. Scale action! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, after some hard work, the number of battleships that the Japanese fleet could use became 5 aircraft carriers and 7 battleships! The number of battleships finally came to a dozen! As for the number of destroyers and submarines, it has not changed much. It was originally planned and is still the same now. As for high-speed supply ships, Japan has two more transport ships with a total tonnage of 25,000 tons, one of which is from France and the other one. Ship from Italy! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt this point, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind! The Japanese combined fleet is ready to depart from Davao Bay at any time, and the operation codenamed Kuroshio is about to begin! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"Has our enemy fleet gone out?" Betty asked. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"We have already gone out. This time we sent a total of two fleets to lure the enemy. One of them is the Pisa armored cruiser and the San Giorgio armored cruiser that we purchased from Italy, and the other is the North Korean armored cruiser. A foghorn, a quasi-dreadnought, and a camouflaged cruiser. They have already headed to the predetermined waters and will attract American attention to the area north of the Bismarck Islands," Shimamura Hayao said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the top brass of the Japanese fleet have accepted Yamamoto Isoroku's suggestion to pass through the sea passage between New Guinea and Australia, in order to be safer, the Japanese fleet decided to send some secondary capital ships first. Entering the waters controlled by the United States to carry out diplomatic-breaking operations, we do not expect them to gain much victory, or even expect them to come back alive. As long as they can attract the attention of the US Navy and firmly contain them in the area north of the Bismarck Islands, then the joint effort The main force of the fleet is very safe when it enters the battlefield. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the two were communicating, Lieutenant General Sturdy suddenly came in and handed a piece of information to Betty, who read it and then handed it to Hayao Shimamura. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It seems that our actions may have to be advanced.” Betty said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"Are you really sure it's early? This information is very vague. It just says that Shadow 42 may set off in a week, and even the specific route is a guess. We have to change our previous deployment based on this vague information. Isn't it a little hasty?" Although Shimamura Hayao said this,

But there was still some tangle in my heart, constantly swinging between attacking in advance and planning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe so-called shadow is the abbreviation of the American high-speed maritime troop carrier within the Japanese Navy. These troop carriers converted from high-speed cruise ships can transport 7,000 to 10,000 people at a time. Almost all of them are single gangs. Under the cover of a very small number of escort warships, they cross the ocean at a speed of more than 20 knots per hour. When necessary, they can even reach a high speed of more than 25 knots! In this case, neither a submarine nor a camouflaged cruiser would be difficult to hunt. Of course, if the hunt is successful, the natural benefits will be very large, almost equal to the Japanese Army's record of more than a month... It is impossible to say that you are not moved! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"We have to try. If we miss this opportunity, after we take action in the Pacific, we will never have the chance to catch the shadow of the transport personnel, because the Americans will The first time a problem occurs in the large transport fleet, all shadow transport ships are immediately required to dock nearby and unload personnel," Betty said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"That's right. Large transport fleets are slow to react and sail slowly, but those shadows move quickly. Even if we conduct a marathon at sea, we may not be able to catch up with them. But this probability is obviously somewhat It’s too low.” Hayao Shimamura pointed at the document in his hand and said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"Combining this information, I have at least a 50% chance of catching it!" Betty thought for a moment and said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“50% probability? Are you kidding? There are at least 5 routes that Shadow 42 can choose. Even if we know the exact time of his trip, we only have a one-fifth probability, not to mention that now we can’t even The time when Shadow 42 will be dispatched cannot be determined," Shimamura Hayao said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e"Everything is connected. First of all, we can determine the approximate time of its sailing through its maintenance progress. We are not sure which troop is on board, but it doesn't matter. We can change the angle. Consider the question, where will this force go? How to get this information? It can naturally be concluded from the fuel ration table at the port. Shadow 42 requires a lot of fuel. Obviously, it will not go to Pearl Harbor, but Heading to the Bismarck Islands or New Guinea!" Betty said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Combining this information, we can already determine the approximate departure time of the other party, and then the arrival time of the other party. This problem is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible to solve. First of all, Shadow 42 leads a front line of nearly one division. Combat troops, these people must have obtained weapons and prepared to go into battle in the past. I don’t know if you have studied the army’s intelligence. Anyway, I have read some, and I found a very interesting thing, that is, before the battle begins, After that, the shadow's activities are the most frequent." Betty said and smiled here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e "Hiss..." Hayao Shimamura couldn't help but take a breath of air. This time he really felt how scary Betty was! This guy is so attentive and looks at the problem so comprehensively! He even connected the shadow's movement patterns with the actions of the U.S. Army! And after much consideration, this connection may actually point to the truth of the matter! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo updates today! Please subscribe and reward! ! !
