Chapter 2616 After the War 2

They discovered the land attack fleet and decided to launch an attack. The decoy fleet and some main battleships launched the attack, and the attack was very clean. Then, the Japanese fleet began to reorganize, all the main battleships returned to the main fleet, and the decoy fleet was waiting. Benson's fleet arrived, and the main fleet took advantage of the chaos to continue sailing eastward. "

"Then the rest is very simple. The decoy fleet successfully lured the Benson fleet away, while the Japanese main fleet continued to sail eastward. In the process, because General Benson ordered all warships to move closer to him, some of the ships originally used The destroyers on alert in the inner circle were also transferred away, resulting in a decrease in our reconnaissance capabilities in the inner circle. At this time, I conducted the first round of telegram exchanges with General Benson and General Pershing," Su Xiong said.

"Yes, but your reaction at that time was very negative and reminded us to be careful. So I would like to ask, did you think of the Japanese fleet's plank road being built openly and secretly?" Ma Jifen said. This question made everyone look at Su Xiong. If Su Xiong didn't remind him after realizing this, he would be really sad.

"My response is indeed very negative. That's because I think this kind of pursuit is unnecessary, because in theory, as long as the Japanese are not stupid, it is impossible for General Benson to catch up. Am I right?" Su Xiong looked at Said to Maggie Fen.

"I can accept your explanation, but according to the words of our liaison officer in your fleet, you have thought of the possible plan of the Japanese fleet, and it is very close to the truth. You mentioned that there are former members of the land support fleet that attacked us. Dreadnought, and it was mentioned that this configuration was highly unusual," Magiffin continued.

To be honest, objectively speaking, Ma Jifen's inquiry to Su Xiong can actually be regarded as a question, which is very unfriendly. Ma Jifen does not want to do this. After all, in terms of actual performance and emotion, he hopes that the German fleet is paddling. . But there was no way, he had to figure things out! And he can only be the villain, because Benson represents the current U.S. Navy, Sims may represent the future U.S. Navy, and he is the one with a lighter official identity!

"Have you contacted Nimitz before?" Su Xiong asked.

"I've been in touch. This is just a routine inquiry." Ma Jifen said with some embarrassment.

"Yes, our thoughts at the time were very close to the truth, and we did want to contact you. But what happened next was sorry, our communications were interfered with, and by coincidence, the Japanese fleet Near us, and our position was determined based on our radio communications, I think both the Navy and the Army received an unfinished telegram, right? The manuscript of this telegram is still in Nimitz's hands, You should take a look when you have time. Then you will understand everything." Su Xiong said unhurriedly.

"I'm sure of this." Marshall nodded.

“I’m really in disbelief about this technicality.

"Sims said.

"Okay, I think we have reached an agreement on this issue. Needless to say, my fleet was caught off guard and attacked by the main force of the Japanese combined fleet. In this battle, we almost lost Weimar No. 1 battleship. The other three battleships were also traumatized." Although Su Xiong mentioned it briefly, people who know the navy can naturally feel the pressure when Su Xiong's fleet faced 10 Japanese battleships.

"Everyone should be clear about what happened next. General Benson, you gradually realized that there was a problem with your judgment. And the old General Fletcher also realized that something was wrong. After all, my fleet seemed to suddenly disappear out of thin air. This It's not normal. You should be very clear about what happens next," Su Xiong said.

"However, after you escaped, you also maintained radio silence in order to attack the scattered Japanese fleet later?" Ma Jifen hesitated and finally asked this potentially ambiguous question!

"You are very unfriendly." Su Xiong frowned. "I have always thought that as the first American naval personnel to deal with the Imperial Navy, we can be more honest with each other."

"I can tell you clearly that the reason why we maintain radio silence is because we don't know how far away the Japanese fleet is from us, and we don't know whether we have escaped from the interference area. If we turn on the radio rashly, we are likely to be exposed and be attacked. If the second round of attacks happens again, it will be difficult for me to ensure that my fleet has the ability to participate in the war again. Then your country's transport fleet will be even worse." Su Xiong answered cleverly.

"Well, I think General Su Xiong made no command errors in tonight's battle. He has nothing to blame. All he has is credit." At this time, Pershing finally spoke. As the highest commander on the entire front line, his words obviously meant to seal the deal.

Americans really want to know the truth of the whole thing and every judgment made by Su Xiong. This is not simply to pursue responsibility, but to learn and accumulate. And some issues are very sensitive, so at this time, naturally some people want to be the white face, and some people want to be the red face, but the top leader cannot be the white face, so the blame can only be thrown to Ma Jifen...

So, under Su Xiong's guidance, the Americans finally figured out the entire battle process. So now we naturally need to discuss the second issue, which is what to do in the future. Pershing has actually expressed his opinion, but what about the navy?

"My fleet and I are going back to Pearl Harbor for maintenance. I hope there are some destroyers to provide protection. After all, in tonight's battle, most of my frigates have been lost, and the remaining ones are injured. I want to ensure that the fleet safety," Su Xiong said.

"Just maintenance?" Sims asked.

"Yes, the naval systems of our two countries are still somewhat different. It is just for maintenance. Then when domestic orders come, then I may have to return to the mainland with the fleet for thorough repairs. I now doubt whether the Weimar There is also maintenance value,” Su Xiong said.

"Holy shit, are you giving up?" Both Pershing and Benson felt scared. To be honest, even Benson and Sims now believe that the Germans are more reliable than themselves in the same war. point! It is said that reality is the best teacher, and Pershing and the others have been educated! If the Su Xiong fleet evacuates and the new German fleet does not arrive, there will be big trouble. Logically speaking, the Su Xiong fleet should be deployed in the Pacific for a year, but look at it now, it has only been a few months!
