"No, the commander of Task Force 61 did not make any mistakes. All his orders are on file. The failure of this naval battle... is all on me. Compared with others, I bear the responsibility alone!

If you still let me lead the Seventh Fleet, I ask for two things. The first thing is that my Seventh Fleet needs a second air fleet, and I have sent you the organization list. In addition, cancel the 61st Task Force

Fleet, merge it with Task Force 67 and add more destroyers. If possible, what we need are those Ganjiang-class battleships produced by the Chinese Federation!"

Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. knew that Navy Chester William Nimitz understood the reason for the defeat of this naval battle last time. It was not because of the Seventh Fleet's problem at all, but because of the cover.

The landing deprived the Seventh Fleet of the opportunity to launch an intensive attack on the Japanese fleet.

He felt that he needed a second air fleet. After all, this highly maneuverable air battleship carried fewer aircraft than the surface fleet, but its strike force became more effective due to the combination of missiles and gliding bombs.

.

According to Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr.'s own feeling, the reason for the failure of this battle was the loss of the landing group's strike force. And his biggest mistake was to use the air fleet to protect them.

Mobility was completely lost, thus losing the opportunity to carry out a further heavy blow to the Japanese fleet.

Navy Chester William Nimitz on the other end of the long-distance phone was silent for a moment last time. He had to say that Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. was very well-informed. Indeed, because of the air fleet, the Navy

For its performance at Midway Island, it purchased 120 new air battleship series from the Chinese Federation, which were modified from old twin-hull airships.

Because compared with surface ships, air carriers are faster, especially since there are only 20 carrier aircraft on them. With the Chinese Federation's escape technology of whole cabin airborne, to put it bluntly, even if it is shot down, nothing will be lost.

Subsequently, the Navy of Chester William Nimitz received the establishment list of Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. last time. In addition to the original four Hawkeyes and two refueling airships,

In addition, the number of air carriers needs to reach 30, carrying about 600 aircraft. The 10 air warships will carry 2,500 tons of ammunition.

Obviously, Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. will use the air fleet as the main strike force. As for the strengthened surface fleet, it will be used to carry out the mission to Guadalcanal in the future.

Fleet on rescue mission.

If this is the case, the deployment will be very different from the Battle of Guadalcanal this time. Admiral Chester William Nimitz looked at this organization list and secretly had a new thought in his heart.

know.

"This is not just a change for the Seventh Fleet, I am afraid that one day, these changes will also affect the entire U.S. Navy."

After all, a 75,000-ton aircraft carrier carries 200 combat aircraft. Once it is damaged or sunk, the damage will definitely be very serious. However, Japan currently uses only 40 combat aircraft in large numbers.

Things like simple aircraft carriers and airborne aircraft carriers are not that expensive. Even if you lose some money, it won't be heartbreaking and you won't be able to sleep.

In the Battle of Midway, two new 75,000-ton aircraft carriers were destroyed. But this time, not only were two 75,000-ton aircraft carriers seriously damaged, but even a 50,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier was seriously damaged. These losses,

It really makes Admiral Chester William Nimitz a little heartbroken.

As for the responsibility of Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr., he was very clear in his mind. His air fleet, which was the main strike force, was trapped in the sea due to the loss of Vice Admiral Robert Gormley's fleet.

Guadalcanal provides fire support and air protection.

This caused him to almost completely lose the opportunity to attack the Japanese naval fleet. In addition, judging from various intelligence work in this battle, the Japanese seemed to have some secrets that the US military did not know. Otherwise, why would their route have been lingering before the battle?

Outside the reconnaissance range of the US military.

This is very incredible. Navy Chester William Nimitz thought last time that Japan might have some new secret equipment.

After looking at the establishment list, he called back Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. and expressed that he agreed in principle with his request. In addition, he had to remind him of a more important matter - the Pacific War.

Getting up is just the beginning.

"According to information from our intelligence agency, it seems that the South Asian Military Alliance has plans to increase its troops on Midway Island. I'm afraid they are not well-intentioned about Pearl Harbor. Maybe they are planning to concentrate all naval and air forces to seize Pearl Harbor. If they succeed, I'm afraid

The Pacific Fleet will have no choice but to return to the United States!"

If Pearl Harbor is captured, it will be really bad news for the Pacific Fleet. Moreover, the west coast of the United States will also fall within the strike range of the Japanese navy. This will not only affect the Pacific battlefield.

situation, it will have an impact on the world situation.

The US military can no longer support air operations in Europe. After all, the defense of the West Coast is more important. Without the help of the United States, Europe's actions against Germany may be greatly affected. Of course, regarding this matter, President Franklin Roosevelt

, which is much more profound than what the Pacific Fleet has considered.

In this case, unless the Soviet Union joins the war against Germany, the United States and the Western European countries will not meet to regroup the necessary military strength to achieve the goal of counterattacking Europe. But when the Soviet Union joins the war, it has the eagerly watching Federation of China on its side.

Because Stalin's asking price is definitely not low.

For the time being, this is another matter, especially for the U.S. Seventh Fleet, and it is not something that Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. cares about.

——————————————————————————————————————At this moment, the situation on Guadalcanal has initially stabilized

After the attack, the severely damaged 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions were temporarily unable to launch an attack. General Douglas MacArthur was very dissatisfied with this incident. Therefore, the 61st Task Force of the Seventh Fleet suffered serious losses.

At that time, he used "Sea Furious" to form a rapid transportation line for transporting troops.

On the third day after the Marines landed on the island, Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. planned to lead the Seventh Fleet to evacuate Guadalcanal Island.

The shuttle transportation system composed of Mike Arthur's "Sea Fury" sent 40,000 troops to the island. These "Sea Fury" medium-sized ground effect craft with a speed of up to 280 kilometers per hour can transport 150 fully armed soldiers at a time.

The only thing people who go to the island have to do is dig holes. Because on the jungle-covered Guadalcanal Island, if you can't live in a safe place, you will definitely die! For this reason, General Douglas MacArthur

Complete sets of engineering equipment were also shipped to expand the already operational airport.

In a limited offensive launched by two Marine divisions, it gained the possibility of safe takeoff and landing of aircraft. Even "Sea Fury" could land at these airports. This allowed General Douglas MacArthur to support Guadalcanal.

The island battle plan was effectively implemented.

Before the Seventh Fleet left, General Douglas MacArthur, in a state of mind similar to that of a desperate gambler, sent enough troops and supplies to the island. At the newly built airport on the island, "the sea was roaring like crazy"

"With transport planes, they landed and took off continuously with almost no interruption.

According to Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr., General Douglas MacArthur mobilized almost all the pilots in his hands, and even included fighter pilots to form the crew. Except for necessary maintenance, those "sea storms"

"Traveling with transport planes day and night. It seems that even after this war is over, it will be a pity that all these equipment will be scrapped.

"I feel that Admiral Chester William Nimitz has made a loss on this business. I'm afraid there won't be much left of those Sea Turbulences after they are used this time!"

Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr., holding a cup of coffee on his bridge, said this as he watched the "Sea Furious" landing and taking off at Guadalcanal Airport like beads on a string.

At this time, his three adjutants had already had a good sleep after receiving electrotherapy. They regretfully discovered that the 61st Fleet had suffered serious losses in their absence.

The Navigation Adjutant, who was sitting in his own seat and was not as free as Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr., spoke to Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. through his own microphone.

One sentence.

"General, those things were only used by the Chinese Federation twenty years ago. I don't quite understand why our U.S. Navy didn't think of these transportation tools twenty years ago. I heard that the sea-skimming aircraft currently used by the Chinese Federation is called

What 'dragon boats'? They can transport 500 fully armed soldiers at a time. The British relied on them to escape Dunkirk!"

Yes, Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr., who poured the last sip of coffee into his mouth, responded with a joke.

"Haven't you heard that that bastard Satan Eagle comes from the future? Okay, ladies, if nothing happens, don't call me until you get back to Pearl Harbor. I'm going to enjoy those damn electroacupunctures.
