"Your Majesty, we will always remind you in the logistics to avoid omissions." Cai E said.

He and Jiang Baili are also old men in the army, so how could he not understand the importance of logistics?

"Your Majesty, this is the next combat plan sent by the Pacific War Zone." Jiang Baili took out a document and said to Chen Shao.

"Let me take a look." Chen Shao took the document from Jiang Baili and started to look carefully.

After the operation to land in Manila began, it successfully occupied the surrounding areas of Manila. Then the Jungle Army joined the battle and took over the combat mission of the Marine Corps. After completing all combat missions, the Marine Corps officially handed over the defense to the Jungle Army, and all the landed Marine Corps rested in Manila.

The Pacific Theater Command did not focus on Luzon Island, but spread its targets to various island groups throughout the Philippine Islands. As early as the beginning of the attack, small teams dominated by destroyers began to cruise in the waters between the Philippine Islands, destroying the original Japanese gunboats and cutting off the connection between the various island fountains.

The landing of Luzon Island was smooth, and a large number of Allied fighter jets were eliminated, destroying nearly half of the air force on Australia. The Pacific Theater Command decided to strike while the iron was hot and send the main force of the Marine Corps to use the jumping frog tactic to quickly occupy the large islands in the Philippine Islands.

The combat plan was already submitted when Qian Sihai and others decided. It was not that they did not have the initiative to make decisions. In fact, when they were planning the plan, they had already started to prepare. The submitted plan was just to explain to the Ministry of National Defense that if there were any loopholes, they could also be modified in time.

"High-speed them, the attack fleet should not try to find the Japanese joint fleet. Their main task is to support landing operations and anti-submarine. It is enough to do your own job well. If you search for the joint fleet, let them report it immediately."

I saw the plan mentioned that if the temporary attack fleet finds the main force of the Japanese Joint Fleet, it will take the initiative to attack.

The others were all fine, but Chen Shao directly crossed out the plan of the attack fleet to fight against the Japanese joint fleet. The attack fleet's mission is to support the landing troops. Regardless of whether the strength is sufficient, Chen Shao will never agree to fight head-on with the Japanese joint fleet.

Their main task is to protect the landing troops, and they can't be distracted from fighting the enemy's main fleet. What's more, the attack fleet at this time is not an opponent of the joint fleet.

"I will remind them." Cai E nodded.

"However, we must pay attention to the issues mentioned in this plan. The Japanese joint fleet disappeared as soon as it enters the Pacific Ocean, and we have to be careful. Some of the joint fleet has also entered the Indian Ocean, so we need to remain highly vigilant. Don't be really caught by the Japanese at that time." Chen Shao said.

"Yes, I have been worried about the Japanese joint fleet, after all, it is an extremely dangerous sea and air force. I suggest that the North Sea Fleet and the East Sea Fleet expand their range of activities and increase their alertness level so as not to have the opportunity for the Japanese to take advantage of it." Jiang Baili said.

"According to the latest planning and predictions of the Imperial Operations Department, a very dangerous signal is given. Although the Empire has three major fleets and the absolute main Royal Pacific Fleet, we only have four famous general-class battleships and two Kunlunshan-class battleships. In terms of battleships, we are not inferior to Japan.

At the same time, we also have six Imperial-class aircraft carriers and fifteen First Emperor-class aircraft carriers. However, those fifteen First Emperor-class aircraft carriers only have five that can take off and land the Seahawk-3 jet carrier-based fighters, and due to the displacement capacity, we cannot carry too many jet carrier-based fighters. It is considered the latest launching and discharging capacity of the First Emperor-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons. Each of them has the ultimate load capacity, and only two squadrons of jet carrier-based fighters (48).

Cai E said this, glanced at Chen Shao's reaction, and saw the latter nodding. After clearly knowing this, he continued to speak: "Given that Japan has joined the Allies' camp, Japan's joint fleet headquarters is likely to unite with the Pacific Fleet, which is gradually recovering its strength in the United States.

Although the empire's main fleet is now much stronger than the Japanese Combined Fleet, once the Japanese Combined Fleet and the US Pacific Fleet meet, our three major fleets will be at a serious disadvantage.

In the past three years, Japan has crazily built aircraft carriers with the resources and plundered wealth in the occupied areas. At this time, it had a total of 32 aircraft carriers with displacements ranging from 15,000 tons to more than 40,000 tons, and four Yamato-class battleships. Although they did not serve the battleships above the Yamato-class, the number of battleships below the Yamato-class is much higher than ours.

Today's Japanese Joint Fleet is much stronger than the Joint Fleet three years ago.

Speaking of the United States, we cannot ignore it. In fact, half a year ago, the US Pacific Fleet had been reorganized. The overall strength of warships was not only stronger than the previous Pacific Fleet, but also far exceeding the size of the Japanese Joint Fleet.

Whether it is the Montana-class battleship of our famous general class battleship or their latest aircraft carriers, the advantages of our three fleets are constantly shrinking. And according to effective intelligence, a jet fighter named P-XX is already conducting high-intensity experiments, and is carried out together with land-based and sea-based platforms (aircraft carriers). Even the figure of air-to-air missiles has appeared on the test site many times."

In fact, Chen Shao was very clear about what Cai E said, and Chen Shao also knew that Cai E was very tactful. The United States not only launched four Montana-class battleships in a short period of time, but the original four Iowa-class battleships have now become six and expanded two. In order to prevent Chinese submarines, basically every day, a destroyer will be launched, and it can be delivered to the US Navy in two or three days.

Cruisers and escort aircraft carriers were also delivered to the US Navy in batches. Since the United States joined the war, it has developed extremely strong industrial capabilities, and it is really like getting ships and getting dumplings.

I originally thought that the United States would cut off the fire from the bottom of the fire after the economic crisis, which would hit the United States' industrial capacity. However, the result did not change much from later generations. The United States could launch a 10,000-ton cargo ship within ten days, and warships were launched on average every day. The endless aircraft and tanks appeared in the hands of allies, and there were countless ammunition.

In fact, Chen Shao was wrong about a very critical thing, that is, those things closely related to military industry have always been supported by the United States. Some small companies and real large groups have actually supported them behind the back of the United States. Don’t forget that the United States has occupied the arms share worldwide since World War I, and their military-industrial enterprises have never stopped production. Even if production is stopped due to the economic crisis, the US government will pay to support them.

This is a national strategy that everyone understands. Just like China before, although military factories were at an extremely low production speed before the war, even if they only produced a few tanks and hundreds of rifles every year, Chen Shao never closed the arsenal. This is not only training new workers, but also ensuring the integrity of the production line. After all, if a complete production line is idle for two or three years, it will be guaranteed to be sold in pieces. The same is true for the United States. Although the United States has no natural enemies, people will have immediate worries without long-term plans, and they will be brave enough to have a gun in their hands.

Just like in later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, all the production lines were stopped, and skilled workers also went to find another way out. This is Russia's later tragedy and grievances.

Therefore, he will at most dig a little small enterprise, and the US government generally does not need those small enterprises. As for technical workers, the United States is even less short of them. What's more, in Europe, there are still a large number of skilled workers hiding in air raid shelters.

"What does Songpo mean?" Chen Shao said lightly.

"My meaning is very simple, divide and destroy it. This is also the best strategic direction formulated by the Operations Department. Even if the Japanese joint fleet cannot be completely eliminated, at least half of their strength will be destroyed. In this way, even if we really join forces with the American Pacific Fleet, we will not be too passive." Cai E said.

"Our General Staff also has this idea, and we have formulated several combat plans, and now we are not going to improve some detailed details." Jiang Baili continued.

"I originally made plans for this matter after Dashu completely occupied the Philippines. Since you have said it, I will also express my opinion. In a short period of time, we don't need to worry about the two fleets joining together. Because the US Pacific Fleet is still in the early stage of running-in training. Even if Japan wants to join them, the Americans will not agree. Because that is one of the means for the Americans to curb Japan. It is impossible to join the Japanese Joint Fleet before they form combat effectiveness. So I put the opportunity to destroy the Japanese Joint Fleet at the beginning of the year. At that time, no matter which ocean it is, it is the calmest time of the year, which is very suitable for the decisive battle of the large fleet."

Speaking of this, Chen Shao took a sip of the hot tea handed over by the guard and said again: "I originally planned to let the Navy start searching the Japanese Joint Fleet in a few days. As for why I don't plan to attack the Joint Fleet now, it is because Japan has occupied many islands in the Pacific Ocean. Many islands have Japanese airports. I don't want our fleet to hide and seek with the other party."

"Your Majesty means to first grab some key islands in the Pacific Ocean, and then attack the Japanese Joint Fleet?" Cai E asked in confusion.
