In fact, although this result is unexpected, it is reasonable, because both us and you, wondering about the Germans, want this Italian battleship to appear in your fleet combat sequence this morning, so it is normal that it can be completed so quickly. Shimamura Soo said with a smile.

The Japanese need this battleship, so naturally they want it to be completed quickly! The Germans need Italy to use practical actions to show that they have broken up with the Americans, so they also hope that the Italian battleship will be completed soon. What about the British? They also hope that Italy will first sell the completed battleship to the Japanese Navy during wartime. Only in this way, when the British's Furious Class Battleship is completed, the Americans will not take too severe revenge against the British. After all, the first round of anger has already been borne by the Italians! By the way, there is another point that the Italians also hope to deliver it quickly and then let the Japanese pay as soon as possible!

So with the operation of multiple parties, how could the construction speed of the USS Caragio battleship be slow? Many personnel from British shipyards joined the construction and outfitting of the warship. The turrets and artillery shipped from the British mainland greatly accelerated the outfitting speed of the warship. Finally, after the warship was completed, the sea trial was conducted directly on the way to the Far East, and finally caught up with this large-scale operation!

So, after some effort, the number of main ships that the Japanese fleet could use became 5 aircraft carriers and 7 battleships! The number of main ships finally formed a dozen! As for the number of destroyers and submarines, there was no change much. The initial plan was how many, and now it was still how many. In terms of high-speed supply ships, Japan has two more transport ships with a total tonnage of 25,000 tons, one from France and the other from Italy!

So far, everything is ready, but the east wind is not available! The Japanese Combined Fleet, which is ready to go, can set off from Davao Bay at any time, and the operation code-named Kuroshio is about to begin!

Has our tempting fleet gone out? Betty asked.

We have already gone out, and this time we sent a total of 2 enemy temptation fleets, one of which is the Pisa armored cruiser and the St. George armored cruiser that we bought from Italy, while the other is the Asahiko Shimamura Quasi and a camouflage cruiser. They have already gone to the designated waters and will attract American attention to the area north of the Bismarck Islands. Shimamura Soo said.

Although the top leaders of the Japanese fleet have accepted the suggestion put forward by Yamamoto Iroru to pass through the maritime passage between New Guinea and Australia, in order to be more secure, the Japanese fleet decided to send some secondary battleships into the United States-controlled waters to fight. They do not expect them to get much results, nor even expect them to come back alive. As long as they can attract the attention of the US Navy and tightly restrain them in the area north of the Bismarck Islands, the main force of the joint fleet will be very safe when entering the battlefield.

Just as the two were communicating, Lieutenant General Stedy suddenly came in and handed over a piece of information to Betty, who, after seeing it, handed over to Soo Shimamura.

It seems that our actions may be ahead of schedule. Betty said.

Are you really sure to be ahead? This information is very vague, just saying that Shadow 42 may set off in a week, and even the specific route is speculation. Is it a bit hasty to change our previous deployment for this vague information? Although Shimamura Soo said this, he was still a little confused in his heart, and he kept swaying between attacking in advance and planning.

The so-called shadow is the abbreviation of American high-speed maritime troop transport ships within the Japanese Navy. These troop transport ships modified with high-speed cruise ships can transport 7,000 to 10,000 people at a time. They are almost all single-sponsored. Under the cover of a very small number of escort warships, they can cross the ocean at a speed of more than 20 knots per hour. When necessary, they can even reach high speeds of more than 25 knots! In this case, it is difficult to hunt either as a submarine or a camouflage cruiser. Of course, if you can successfully hunt, the natural benefits will be very great, which is almost equivalent to the Japanese Army's record of more than a month... It is impossible to say that you are not moved!

We always have to try it. If we miss this opportunity, when we take action in the Pacific, we will never have the chance to seize the shadow of the executive transport personnel, because the Americans will immediately ask all shadow transport ships to dock near and unload the personnel as soon as there is a problem with the Grand Transport Fleet. Betty said.

Yes, the large transport fleet reacted slowly and had a slow speed, but those shadows acted quickly. Even if we were to conduct a marathon on the sea, we might not be able to catch up with others. However, the probability was obviously a bit low. Shimamura Too pointed to the document in his hand and said.

Combining this information, I have at least a 50% chance of getting it caught! Betty thought about it and said.

50% probability? Are you kidding? There are at least 5 routes that Shadow 42 can choose. Even if we know the exact time of his trip, we only have one-fifth of the probability. What's more, we can't even determine the time for Shadow 42 to be dispatched. Shimamura Soo said.

Everything is related. First of all, we can determine the approximate time of its departure through its maintenance progress. We are not sure which unit is loaded on the ship, but it doesn't matter. We can consider the problem from a different perspective. Where will this unit go? How can this information be obtained? Of course, we can draw from the fuel distribution table of the port. Shadow 42 requires a lot of fuel. Obviously, this will not go to Pearl Harbor, but to Bismarck Islands or New Guinea Island! Betty said.

Based on this information, we can already determine the approximate departure time of the other party, and then the time for the other party to arrive. This problem is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible to solve. First of all, Shadow 42 is a front-line combat force of nearly a division. These people must have obtained weapons and then prepared to enter the battle in the past. I don’t know if you have studied the army intelligence. Anyway, I have read some, and I found a very interesting thing, that is, Shadow’s activities are the most frequent before and after the battle begins. Betty said and laughed here.

Hiss... Shimamura Suo couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. This time he really felt Betty's terrible! This guy was too careful and looked at the problem too comprehensively! He even linked the movements of the shadow with the actions of the US Army! After many considerations, this connection might really point directly to the truth of the matter!
