The Rise of the Empire

What is the most important thing in the so-called anti-broken diplomatic operations? Of course it's intelligence! Then how did the most important and reliable information come from? Naturally, the information was sent after the enemy bitten the transport fleet or the bait thrown out. If the enemy just wandered in the ocean and did not attack, In other words, if you hit very slickly and run away with one bite, the efficiency of the attacking side will indeed be very low, but at the same time, the source of intelligence for the defending side is also very problematic. After all, the Pacific Ocean is so big and the development of aircraft is still not perfect. If you keep the radio silent, sink into a corner, it will be really difficult for you to find the other party! In addition, the Japanese had a very good grasp of the timing of their attacks. They launched their attacks before sunset. Even if they found their opponents, they could sneak out a long way in the dark. On the second day, who knows where the targets went?

Therefore, even though the U.S. Navy has a large number of bases, aircraft, and ships, it is still difficult to find the Japanese Navy's maritime breaking ships.

"Think about it, it's impossible for the Japanese fleet to be without supplies, right? We can always find some clues by keeping an eye on the ports of the Philippines and the former Dutch East Indies, right?" Sims said a little displeased.

"According to our speculation, these Japanese warships have been out for no more than 20 days at most, and they must have been replenished before entering the theater, so the self-sustainability of a single ship can fully support for a period of time, and this time the Japanese chose the Central Pacific Ocean As a battleground, instead of choosing the Eastern Pacific Ocean as last time, the distance has been shortened by several thousand kilometers, and the dependence on supplies is not heavy. And even if we found out, it would be difficult to catch them, they never Because it is close to the island, our land-based air force is out of reach, and you are holding on to the fast warships and aircraft carriers in your hands, so it is really difficult for us to pursue them with slow ships." Ma Jifen also said angrily.

"I have a hunch that the opportunity for our combined Japanese fleet to meet again is not far away. I must have a force strong enough in my hands and keep them in good condition. The Army's offensive in New Guinea has so far been very If Pershing and the others advance faster, the attack range of the bombers will soon cover the Bird of Paradise Peninsula. That is a bottom line, a bottom line that the Japanese United Fleet must stick to. I believe the Japanese will definitely not be able to sit still. Stay, they will attack soon. So we must be ready." Sims said, taking a sip of coffee.

"So do you think that the Japanese sent a break-off fleet this time to consume us? When our large fleet depletes precious fuel and status in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese main fleet will launch a counterattack from the Philippines? That's it. Is it?" Magiffin asked.

"Isn't it? Look at the actions of the Japanese breaking diplomatic relations this time. They are just delaying time, and their intention to contain us is fully exposed. Their attacks are weak and have no real impact except for the so-called mental pressure created by bluffing." , Even 2 destroyers and 1 auxiliary cruiser can push back a 10,000-ton battleship, their performance is too coping." Sims said.

"And your solution?" Magiffin asked.

"Let's put our new armored cruisers and seaplane aircraft carriers on board. These warships have strong detection capabilities and good battlefield mobility. It is enough to deal with the Japanese breaking fleet. Of course, the most important thing is that when the main fleet is engaged , These battleships are somewhat tasteless." Sims said with a smile.

"It seems that you are looking forward to a magnificent naval decisive battle similar to the Norwegian sea battle." Ma Jifen said.

"Don't you expect that?" Sims asked rhetorically.

"I only know that what we hope for must be what the Japanese try their best to avoid. They will not have a decisive battle at sea with us, because they have no chance of winning such a decisive battle. Our number of capital ships is at least theirs. 1.5 times. The powerful industry of the United States not only made up for the war damage, but also greatly narrowed the gap in the quality of our warships. Crown Prince Ruprecht said a word, if you want the other party to fight you, then you must let the other party Felt there was a chance to win," Magiffin said.

"You always talk downheartedly," Sims teased with a laugh. Sims's guess is very reasonable. He has already thought that the Japanese navy cannot keep shrinking like this. He also thought of the bottom line time of the Japanese navy's last fight, which is when the US Army is about to control the entire New Guinea island! He also thought that the sudden appearance of these broken warships might be a bit tricky, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the Japanese navy would still take an offensive brazenly under the current unfavorable situation! And with such a bold action, the main force of the entire United Fleet has entered the hinterland of the US Navy's control area! He even wanted to hunt down the high-speed sea troop carrier that even the Germans failed to hunt down successfully!

As for Magiffen, he is better than Sims. At least he feels that the Japanese navy will not engage in an upright duel with the entire main force of the American fleet. Unless there is no choice, when the Japanese navy makes a move, the American fleet will definitely not They will be all together, because there is no chance for the Japanese to win! However, after all, Ma Jifen was only slightly behind Betty, and he also did not understand the plan of the Japanese United Fleet this time! He was just worried, that's all!

And while Sims and Magiffin were discussing the Japanese navy's broken fleet, the Japanese combined fleet had crossed Cape York under the cover of night and entered the Coral Sea! All of this was going on without anyone noticing, and the Japanese combined fleet was only one step away from entering the hunting ground without the Americans noticing it! Before starting the hunt, they will also complete the final assembly and deployment near the Fiji Islands! At the same time, we will also receive information about the Shadow 42 troop carrier from the British!

"According to our intelligence, the Shadow 42 troop carrier is likely to pass through the area between the Gilbert Islands and the Tulua Islands within 2 days, and the end of their route is Lae, New Guinea." When Betty said again When I came to the meeting room of the Nagato battleship once, I brought a rather shocking news to everyone present!

"Can we decipher the American telegram?" Yoshimatsu Shigetaro said in shock.

"Of course not. The telegram compiled using the charade machine is undecipherable under the current circumstances, but don't forget that the Tulua Islands are the territory of the British Empire. We can know from their recent actions and the frequency of the telegram that they will have Big plans," Betty said.
