Chapter 2446： Everyone just say a few words.

"The size of the submarine force of the High Seas Fleet has now been reduced. It is impossible to draw from active personnel. If your country is willing to choose some of the retired personnel of the High Seas Fleet, it can be recruited if the other party volunteers. I need to emphasize that all personnel who go to the Pacific to serve for your navy have the right to choose whether to join the frontline battlefield.” Ruprecht said.

"Well, we can agree to this condition." Ma Jifen said.

"What about the aviation personnel? Can we select the aviation personnel in accordance with the relevant terms of the navy personnel?" Magifen asked.

"It can also work like this," the crown prince said.

"Your Excellency really did not consider sending the Bavarian army to the war? If your country or other states within the German Empire are willing to send an army, then the remuneration given to the states by the United States of America is absolutely satisfactory to you." Majifen asked. Tao.

When negotiating with the Americans, Ruprecht also mentioned that he could consider sending an army to participate in the war on a large scale, but until now, the Kingdom of Bavaria has not taken any actual action. From the current point of view, the German army's large-scale entry into the Pacific battlefield seems to be a bit far away.

"There is no such plan for the time being. After all, our army is suitable for fighting on the European continent, not on remote tropical islands. Large-scale attrition due to the environment and climate is a trouble for both of our countries. Small-scale We have dispatched troops of the nature of the teaching group and will participate in frontline operations to a certain extent. This is our current limit. You should be aware that the empire also lost millions of people in this war. We also need to recuperate. "The crown prince said.

"That's a pity." Ma Jifen said regretfully.

"Do you have anything else to remind you?" At the end of the meeting, Ma Jifen asked.

"No, after all, we have not studied this situation, let alone actual combat experience. In the Pacific, your country has more experience." The crown prince shook his head and said. However, it feels a little uncomfortable in Majifen's ears. The reason is very simple. So far, the United States has failed in the Pacific Ocean except against weak Spanish chickens. To be precise, it should be more experienced in beatings. …….

"You still have something to say." After sending away Ma Jifen, Su Xiong did not leave, but followed the crown prince back to the office.

Of course, the crown prince did not say some important things. Let alone the current relationship between the United States and Germany, it is only a relationship that fulfills the previous rights and obligations. Even if it is true allies, some things cannot be said right now, at least they will have to wait for quite some time for the Americans to suffer some difficulties before revealing some. Of course, there is a prerequisite that is necessary, that is, Japan must lose! This is not only related to the interests and face of the United States in the Pacific, but also to the prestige and dignity of the German Empire!

After Germany defeated the enemies of Europe, Japan in the Far East could not let it go either! Japan’s actions in the war must compensate Germany with compensation after the war! Therefore, if the Americans are really in a dilemma, the crown prince will still mention it. Of course, it depends on the situation, at least it is not suitable for now.

"Yes, there are still some things left unsaid. We don't know the specific plan of the Americans, but Ma Jifen gave me the feeling that it is a bit aggressive in strategy and a bit conservative in tactics." The crown prince thought for a while and said. “It’s needless to say that the strategy is adventurous. The Americans combined two steps into one step to illustrate this problem. As for tactical conservativeness, Ma Jifen has always emphasized that the Navy is in this war to ensure the landing of the army and the establishment of sea and air bases. It is a basic task. He did not propose to take the initiative to lead the fleet into the area controlled by the Japanese Navy to launch an active attack. This passive tactical situation is not good. After all, only offense can better gain the initiative."

"But the U.S. Navy lacks fast warships, and cannot run 25 nautical miles an hour when necessary like the High Seas Fleet. Most of their capital ships have a speed of only 20 knots." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"Admiral Su Xiong, I want to tell you that the naval strategy and tactics in this war are in a critical transition period. A naval force transforms from a gunboat to a naval aviation force. Even in the Norwegian sea battle, The aircraft carrier is just an auxiliary force. But in the future Pacific War, the role of the aircraft carrier will be greatly enhanced, and the role of the battleship will be further weakened."

"So, the future fast sea battle group does not need too many fast battleships. The role of battleships is more to deal with night battles, provide escorts for aircraft carriers, and serve as important air defense hubs. Of course, this process will be very long, but We can start preparing and familiarizing all of this now The strategy formulated by the U.S. Navy in the early stage of the war is no problem, because at this time the Japanese navy is in good condition, and their fast battleships are very large, and the attendance rate is also high. Very high. Although the Virtue Fleet has an overall quantitative advantage, it may not have an advantage in actual combat because of its scattered deployment. It is understandable to play conservatively at this time."

"However, when the war has progressed to a certain level, the situation is different. Japan is less able to withstand a long war of attrition than the United States! From the battleship itself, the Japanese steam turbines are completely imported, and our restrictions Next, the British steam turbine production was compressed. In the war, the Japanese battleship power was a key factor restricting Japan’s continued combat effectiveness. Of course, the same was true for aero engines. From the boiler, the Japanese also used them for performance. In addition to small water tube boilers, our warships have difficulty maintaining this problem, and Japan also has it, so it can be foreseen that after the war progresses to a certain extent, the Japanese navy’s attendance rate will drop significantly. After the naval battle, there may be a window period." The crown prince said.

"The Americans may have thought of this issue. They also mentioned in the document the idea of ​​using the fatigue of the Japanese Navy to intensify the offensive. The U.S. Navy even predicted that if the battle goes well, the U.S. Army will resolve the battle of Rabaul. It will compress the rest period of the battle and move quickly to the main island of Guinea." Admiral Su Xiong said.
