Now he has four aircraft carriers in his hand, namely Randolph, Lexington, Bunker Hill and USS Bennington. Ten battleships can be Said the strength is already very strong,

Ten NTU Kota-class battleships have been slightly modified. They have a displacement of 4,600 tons, a maximum speed of 27 knots, three 457MM main guns, 6 triple-mounted 406 mm/45-caliber main guns; 20 double-guns It is equipped with 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 40-70 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 35-70 20mm anti-aircraft guns. It can be said that the firepower is very fierce, especially the anti-aircraft firepower cannot be underestimated.

But even with such firepower, Mitchell still does not have the confidence to win. He knows that the China Navy is strong, and if one fails, he will explain it to the Pacific.

But as General Mitchell of the main battle faction, he is not so easy to succumb. He believes that if God is on their side, they are not without the possibility of victory.

So he ordered the fleet to do a good job of concealment. After bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, it has been sailing at the southernmost end of the ocean. Although there are strong winds and waves there, there may be floating icebergs.

However, he still insisted on this more dangerous route, and no longer docked in Australia, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of China.There was a sudden attack, but fortunately, God was really taking care of him. He didn't seem to encounter Huaxia's fleet along the way, not even a submarine.

But he didn't want to think that even if China's submarine met him on the Ganges Ocean, he was in the waters close to Australia. There was no time to mobilize heavy troops, just one or a few submarines, how dare to carry with their huge fleet? It is simply seeking a dead end.

After the plane landed at the airport, Admiral Mitchell led by the staff to Amai's office, apparently he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Excellency Commander! Hello!"

Mitchell greeted first.

"General Mitchell! Hello! Please sit down!"

Amai smiled and said that he was still in a good mood at this time. A large amount of supplies, especially the addition of tanks and reinforcements, made his confidence a little bit stronger, even if the current Ocean Fleet is no longer owned by him, but At least the other party is still here to assist him, so he should be the main one.

The two of them exchanged a little bit of greeting to directly shift the topic to war.Watch the Chinese website www.twotxt.com

"General Mitchell, in fact, I know that your navy is not very satisfied with my request for support, but you also know the current situation. Without the support of the navy, it is difficult for us to resist the attack of the Chinese. They can choose at will. Landing points and using the navy to support army operations in coastal cities. In the anti-landing campaign that just ended, we have lost more than 200,000 troops."

Amai first said, based on mutual misunderstandings.

"Commander, you have filtered, defeating the Huaxia people, and contributing to the strategy of the empire is what every soldier should do."

Mitchell said that the Navy’s dissatisfaction with Amai is unquestionable. If the current strength and China’s main force meet them, they will be defeated. It will only be possible to start a decisive battle with the aircraft carrier after a large number of aircraft carriers are launched next year. Amai got to the Pacific Ocean. Didn’t that mean to cheat their navy?

It’s just that from Amai’s point of view, there is nothing wrong with all this. After all, it serves the entire stock price. The Navy must take into account the overall situation and make necessary sacrifices. Since it has accepted this task, it is thinking about how to defeat it. How can the Chinese fleet survive?

"Then General, what are you going to do?"

Amai asked, he wanted to know how Mitchell's plan would help them contain China's navy.

"Your Excellency Commander, what is currently active in Australia is China’s Nanyang Fleet, which has eight aircraft carriers, as well as a large number of destroyers and cruisers. Although they are still more in number than us, our capital ships are all cutting-edge ships. Extremely strong air defense capabilities, and can completely explode their cruise fleet, even if China plans to send its five Huangdi-class battleships and the Hongjun battleship to the Nanyang fleet recently. But we can’t fight against them, after all Even if we destroy their Nanyang fleet, we will suffer heavy losses, so it is best to use the tactics of lure enemy."

Mitchell said that, in his opinion, China's Nanyang Fleet is a nursing home. With the exception of relatively new quasi-build and cruisers, the other battleships are eliminated by various ocean fleets and are simply vulnerable.

Now China’s Ocean Fleet has to renew its frigates and aircraft carriers, and now it has left the old frigates to the Nanyang Fleet.

"The Chinese Army will definitely launch an offensive against southern Australia, so the best position they can choose is to attack Tulagi and Port Moresby, or nearby areas, so we can be in the Coral Sea. Attack them in the sea!"

"If we can hit them in one fell swoop, or even have the opportunity to have a large number of aircraft carriers and battleships, the situation will be quite favorable for us. Of course, this is only limited to their Nanyang fleet. Unless their oceanic fleet is dispersed, we will not leave. opportunity."

Mitchell said that he has no confidence in the Nanyang Fleet, and only launches a surprise attack when they are escorting the army. As for the Ocean Fleet, he doesn't need to think about it, but he is also a country. If China’s navy is lost, they may not have no chance...
