General Halsey thought quickly. The Navy is basically good now. It is different from the situation in the Army. The Navy has maintained strong combat effectiveness, especially some of the veterans of Pearl Harbor. They are the backbone of the army. If they were told to fight against the Japanese devils, they would definitely be very happy. These people could have returned to the United States to retire, but they wanted to avenge their brothers. President Roosevelt also wanted to establish some war heroes, so he sent them to Southeast Asia. Now these guys are preparing to yell at the decisive battle with the Japanese. It would be best to tell them this news.

"I will go back and prepare a combat plan immediately, and then take it over to let you and the people from the domestic Navy Department analyze it. If it is feasible, we will immediately start preparing and strive to fight against the Japanese within half a month. Our energy will be fine. Australia also has to dispatch the naval nuclear submarines and cannot let them sleep in Australia. Since we want to fight the Japanese, we must give full play to our greatest advantage." General Halsey was nicknamed Manniu. The navy has been silent for a long time. Finally, we have a chance to fight. General Halsey is preparing to fight to the death with the Japanese army and not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe. This is how General Halsey's battle is. Either you die or I die. There will never be an intermediate situation. This is how he deserves the title of Manniu.

"You do it now. I support you in everything. The Air Force will support you with all its strength. But our army has no choice. They are facing the dual attacks of China and Japan now, which can ensure that the current position is already good. I estimate that in half a month, if the Chinese army does not launch an attack, your two naval bases can still be retained. If the Chinese army participates in the main attack, you must make plans and cancel one naval base." General MacArthur said a little heavy. No one is willing to give up the base in his hands. These two naval bases cost hundreds of millions of dollars, all of which were just built this year. I didn't expect that the Japanese would not be able to fight for so long, but after fighting with the Chinese, the Chinese had already reached the door.

"Waring at sea, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of them. After we fight with the Japanese, we only need one naval base, and leaving two naval bases is useless." Although the current naval operations are already made of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, the decisive battle of battleships is equally important, otherwise there would not be so many battleships in the army.

When you sink an enemy battleship, you have to pay at least one cruiser. This is the smallest loss. According to the normal ratio, a battleship can basically be replaced with 0.4 battleships on the other side. If this ratio is used, the combined fleet will all be killed, and the US fleet will also lose about 40%. It would be useless to have an extra base at that time, and there will be many bad ships. These ships can only be towed back to Australia. If repairs are carried out in Southeast Asia, maybe they will be the Chinese in the end. The army retreats too fast. How long can it last if it retreats at a speed of 20 kilometers per day? Those shipyards were simply set up for the Chinese in the future.

The US military is strong in Southeast Asia, with four large aircraft carriers, two small aircraft carriers, four battleships and four battlecruisers.

In addition, there are more than one hundred small ships of various types.

Compared with the US fleet, the joint fleet is a bit shabby. Although the Japanese also have four large aircraft carriers, they lack small aircraft carriers, and there are only three battleships, and all of them have been in service for more than two years. It is slightly insufficient compared to the Americans. However, the battleships have installed gun-aiding radars, which have just been installed. However, the soldiers operating the radar are all Chinese soldiers. Once something is wrong with the Japanese, the radar must be blown up, and the Japanese soldiers have no chance to contact gun-aiding radar. This is also a manifestation of not believing in them. Although the Japanese Navy protested, they could only stop in the end. Who made them a servant now? As a servant, you must have the awareness of the servants and cannot challenge your master casually.

In terms of small warships, the US destroyers were all produced in the past two years. More than 80% of the Japanese destroyers were produced five years ago, and they cannot compare with the US military in terms of speed. Therefore, if the small warships of both sides fight, the Japanese army's chance of winning is less than 50%.

The Japanese joint fleet is now mainly in two military ports in the Philippines. One of the military ports was built by the Japanese army itself, and the other one was invaded by the Americans. The two military ports were only 100 nautical miles apart. If a war broke out, the Japanese joint fleet could quickly assemble. Although Japan and the United States fought for many days in Southeast Asia, the losses of both sides were limited to small warships, and large warships did not lose much. Therefore, if a decisive battle was held, it would be a very beautiful war.

General MacArthur had this idea, and Zheng Liang also had this idea. Zheng Liang had long felt that the Japanese joint fleet was a bit annoying. The joint fleet was too powerful and was already powerful, which made the Chinese fleet unable to raise its head. The Chinese fleet had to take into account the defenses of Southeast Asia and Vietnam, so it had to be divided into two parts. If the joint fleet could be slightly smaller than now, then the Chinese fleet could naturally annex them. Japan was the servant country of China, but the command of the joint fleet was in the hands of the Japanese. Some officers had already boarded Japanese warships, but the Japanese still accounted for the majority. If they could calm down a little through this battle, it would be worth it even if they failed.

There are two views on the Japanese Joint Fleet in China. One view is that they are not allowed to fail like this, and they can be helped appropriately. The other view is the same as Zheng Liang. Let the Japanese Joint Fleet fight to the death with the Americans. Even if it fails in the end, the Americans will suffer a lot. We can reap the benefits of the fisherman. The Chinese Fleet was the most powerful in Southeast Asia at that time. However, there is one disadvantage to doing so, which will hurt the hearts of the Japanese mercenaries and make them feel that they are cannon fodder.
