Chapter 2615: After the War One

Well, I was really a little excited before, and my attitude towards friendly forces was a bit bad, so this matter ends here. "Benson nodded and said. Benson and Sims can be dissatisfied with Su Xiong's final attitude, but everyone, including the US Army, must accept Su Xiong's affection! It is precisely because of Su Xiong's resolute containment that the The Japanese fleet had to allocate half of its strength to deal with it. From this point of view, if it is necessary to award honors to the naval personnel of the two countries participating in the war, then Su Xiong is definitely the first, and the second is Raeder !

At the same time, in the US Army General Command, Chief of Staff Marshall was persuading his immediate boss, the black old man Pershing, over and over again.

"The battle is over, and the result is an established fact. Anger and cursing will not make things better. I think that what you need to do most at this time is to negotiate with the navy. Of course, I support you to put General Benson sued the court. But you must pay attention to your emotions when you meet, after all, we have to face other admirals, and most of them are innocent." Marshall's persuasion was polite and polite. It is the separation of feelings and actions.

"Okay, I will pay attention. Also, send a telegram to General Su Xiong, just say, on behalf of the entire US Army, I thank him for his rescue. Now take out the saber I used in South Africa as a token of my gratitude A gift from Marshal Su Xiong. General Raeder also has a gift." Pershing said.

"Okay, I'm ready." Marshall nodded and said.

"In addition, let Benson come to the army headquarters, I don't want to board his flagship! Also, send a traffic boat to meet General Su Xiong. I suspect that there may not be a complete traffic boat in the German fleet now. ’ said Pershing.

"Okay, I'll contact the navy now." Marshall shook his head helplessly and said.

Three hours later, when the day was already bright, the heads of the United States and Germany finally gathered in Pershing's command room. Pershing took the main seat, with Benson and the naval generals on the left, and Su Xiong and the generals on the right. Raeder. At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was very dull, like the calm before the storm.

"General Pershing, the navy..." Hesitating for a moment, Benson spoke first. After all, apart from this incident, the navy is to blame.

"Okay, the question of right and wrong is not the most important thing. Finding the responsible person and imposing punishment is a matter for the court-martial. I am a soldier, not a judge. I just want to know two things. First, tonight, the Navy of the United States Why was it being manipulated in the palm of your hand? What was the whole battle like? Why didn’t General Su Xiong tell us such important information in advance? Why was General Benson’s fleet lured away?”

"The second thing is, I have decided that the U.S. Army will continue to fight and will never withdraw. If one day, Washington issues an order to withdraw troops, then I will join my colleagues who have already died on this island. ,

I swear! Now, tell me how are you going to keep this fight going? "Pershing interrupted Benson's apology mercilessly. He really didn't dare to discuss the issue of responsibility now. He was worried that once he couldn't bear it, he would personally retaliate against Benson! And as Marshall said , this meeting is to solve practical problems, not to talk about it!

"Fuck, to be honest, I haven't figured it out until now." Benson also had a headache after hearing what Pershing said, because although he knew that he had been deceived, he was concerned about the battle between Su Xiong's fleet and the Japanese fleet. He really doesn't know about things, and this missing part happens to be the most important!

"Okay, let me tell you something. Although it's a little hurtful to say it, I have to explain one thing, that is, your country's radio technology is really not as good as the Japanese, or it is not as good as Japan supported by certain countries." At this time Su Xiong stood up decisively.

"First, let's sort out the tactics and engagement process of the Japanese fleet. We must determine one thing, that is, the size of the Japanese fleet. I would like to ask General Benson, how many capital ships do you think the Japanese fleet has?" Su Xiong asked.

"Well, there are at least 18 ships. According to our eyewitness records, we can confirm that the Japanese combined fleet has 10 capital ships, which are 6 King Kong and 4 14-inch artillery fast battleships, and the enemy we are chasing has 2 ships. Slow old-fashioned quasi-dreadnoughts and 6 fast battleships." Benson said with some uncertainty.

"Then you must have read it wrong. If it is credible to say that the Japanese decoy fleet has 4 fast warships and 4 slow warships, then it is absolutely impossible to have 6 fast warships! The only fast warship the Japanese have now The quasi-dreadnoughts should be the four Rurik-type warships left by the Russians in the Far East. They have not obtained other fast warships so far," Su Xiong said.

"But there are really 6 ships in the battle line." Sims on the side said.

"It may be a light cruiser in disguise. I can understand what the Japanese think. Before attacking your country's land support fleet, the Japanese dispatched about 10 warships. According to the intelligence description, there should be Fuso level, then in this case, there must be a similar number in the decoy fleet so as not to arouse your army's suspicion, so the Japanese will use light cruisers to pretend to be fast capital ships." Raeder said.

"Then the question now is that if light cruisers can be used to disguise fast capital ships, why didn't the Japanese simply use light cruisers as a decoy fleet?" Marshall asked.

"The reason is very simple. If there are 2 bad guys in 8 people, then the bad guys can pretend to get away with it, but if there are 4 bad guys in 8 people, it will be very difficult. There is a certain limit to camouflage, so if I arrange If so, then I will let the camouflaged light cruiser be at the front, because that is the place farthest from your country's fleet." Redleton paused and continued: "Of course, another problem is that the number of Japanese light cruisers is very small. , even much less than their battleships."

"Thank you." Marshall said dumbfoundedly.

"Well, now we have figured out the first question, that is, why did General Benson not suspect the Japanese fleet's falsification in the first place. If we contact the information we got from the observation post on the coast before, We can be sure that the Japanese fleet was like this when it entered the battlefield." Su Xiong said.
