Chapter 1284： Revive (1/2)
Chapter 1284
But at the same time, Su Xiong and others have also noticed that the Allies were not unprepared for this situation. On the contrary, they were equipped with seaplanes in large fleets that could provide reconnaissance operations. The British fleet would certainly not be able to beat the German fleet, but if After discovering the German fleet tens of kilometers away, if people spread out and scream, it would be quite troublesome to catch the German fleet!
If the attacking fleet wants to obtain great results, in addition to quality, it also needs quantity. This is like facing a group of wild boars fleeing. Even the strongest lion can only catch a few. Then let other prey run away, even if the prey is weak. You can't catch it before you have time. In the past, if Su Xiong's fleet wanted to catch it, it could only rely on two fast battleships and attack ships, but now, with the fierce sea confrontation, the five attack ships that originally came out with Su Xiong have been sunk or temporarily missing 4 Ship. Now, in addition to the two main forces, the only ones that can accompany the ocean-going course are the Swordfish, which has been converted into a seaplane carrier, and the other ocean-going high-speed supply ship Constellation provided by the Americans.
Therefore, if one encounters a large-scale fleet again, the most likely possibility is that the Allied transport fleet will be scattered before the German fleet launches an attack. Then Su Xiong grabbed two or three kittens... Then, after losing the best hunting opportunity after the comeback, the German fleet can only wait to attack the dispersed fleet. In other words, the Allies played harder and directly dispatched super fearless escorts to some key fleets. Of course, the biggest possibility is that the Allied Powers will draw out a few more fast battleships to hunt the Su Xiong fleet at sea!
”Perhaps, the Japanese will be the next one to undertake this task, right?” Raidel said to Su Xiong more than once.
”Yes, they are probably more terrifying enemies than the current Royal Navy!” Su Xiong nodded and said. In all fairness, the composition of the Japanese fleet is actually very close to that of the German fleet, that is, the proportion of high-speed battleships is very large. Taking the Japanese Navy as an example, with a speed of 24 knots, two of the 12 battleships currently in service in the Japanese Navy are Slow battleships, the remaining 10 ships are all high-speed battleships! If you count the Fuso-class battleship No. 5 that has been completed and is undergoing sea trials, then there are 11 fast battleships. Except for 4 King Kong, the remaining 7 are not weak!
The Fuso-class battleship is now recognized as the most powerful battleship of the Allies. The only reason why it is not the number one in the world is that it has not yet separated from the Bavarian-class battleship. So far, Japan has not fully utilized its naval power. It is huge, and in Su Xiong's opinion, the Japanese navy, which has nothing to do, is the biggest threat to the Indian Ocean Squadron!
”Sometimes I have been thinking about when the Japanese fleet will choose to kill us.” Once, Su Xiong said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Su Xiong knew very well that if the two fast battleships attacked again, the Allied Congress would take action soon. So their ”happy time” will be very short. But now it's fine. With the arrival of the submarine force, even if the surface break-through operation is suppressed by the Japanese fleet, then the submarine can also pose a threat to the sea transportation lines of the Allies. At present, this is only the first batch of submarines to arrive in the Indian Ocean. It is foreseeable that as more and more submarines arrive here, the maritime transport lines of the Allies in the Indian Ocean will gradually be noose!
”They are here!” At this moment, under the leadership of the pilot boat, the submarine force known as the Monsoon Wolves is gradually appearing in the port. A total of 12 ocean-going submarines, led by the flagship U225 The channel set aside enters the port. With the arrival of the submarine force, the German Indian Ocean Fleet once again showed its sharp fangs!
”Colonel Schultz welcomes you and your fleet to Faor.” After the submarine was led to his anchorage, Su Xiong personally led the fleet officials to greet Colonel Schultz, the commander of the monsoon wolf pack, and him Of the officers. What guests from afar need is not a lively but annoying welcome ceremony.
