So, Sims has been considering another situation, that is, not to accompany Su Xiong's fleet, and let the US fleet be reckless? Anyway, even if you rely solely on destroyers and patrol boats, the US fleet should be able to discover the Japanese fleet first. Even if there is no Su Xiong, the US fleet will fight alone with the Japanese fleet, not to mention killing the other side, but there is no problem in a stalemate! Everyone just fights with injuries and is injured. Then when the Japanese fleet is damaged and cannot run out, the Su Xiong fleet will come in to harvest and expand the results of the battle!

In Sims's view, since the Japanese fleet has come out and meet the American fleet again, they definitely have no reason to give up fighting with the American fleet when the Su Xiong fleet is away. Otherwise, what will your whole family do? Such a good opportunity is in front of you, why should the Japanese Navy give up? Of course, considering that the German fleet may appear at any time, Sims believes that the best choice for the Japanese fleet is to enter and exit quickly! Concentrate firepower to attack some weak ships in the US fleet, and after gaining an advantage, they will quickly turn in. After all, even the iron turtle that the Americans think is good, the 343MM vertical armor belt on the side is not so safe for the Japanese to replace the new shells with the 15-inch naval gun. As for the warships before New York, let alone, the 12-inch armor is too fragile.

Well, the goal of the US fleet is very simple. If several Japanese warships can be slowed down, then the rest will be left to the German fleet. If Su Xiong can even lose this, then just find a piece of tofu to kill him. Based on his trust in Su Xiong's level, Sims believes that this matter is not a big deal, so he naturally believes that Su Xiong can handle these things well. Even when the US and Japanese fleets fight, it is possible that Su Xiong can take advantage of the chaos to intercept the entire Japanese fleet! After all, when Su Xiong's fleet meets the Japanese fleet, the Japanese fleet must have fought with the US fleet for a while, and his condition is definitely not good, and the fleet formation is also not good.

Some people may have said that if the US-Japanese fleet is simply fighting, what if the Japanese fleet uses its own speed advantage to gain an advantage? This can greatly expand the Japanese army's tactical advantage. Sims also thought of this issue. The first thing to be noted is that before the war, the Americans also considered how to fight the Japanese Navy if they only rely on slow warships.

The so-called standard warships are also tactical. First of all, their maneuverability is consistent. When doing a certain tactical action, they can be described as neat and uniform. Therefore, even if they encounter an unfavorable battlefield situation, such as being seized by the opponent, the US fleet can also quickly turn to open the battle line under the cover of the destroyer with absolute advantage.

Compared with Britain and Germany, the battle between the US and Japan fleets is actually just a small scene. The number of warships is limited, so even if one side gains the advantage of the position in a short period of time, it will not lead to too serious consequences. Then everyone will start the battleships. The Americans have numerical advantages and the Japanese have some quality advantages. (Okay, to put it bluntly, there are 6 Fusang ships, but it's okay, let's forget about King Kong and other things.) As long as it is not particularly unlucky, although the American fleet may not be able to defeat the opponent, it is not much different.

And to be honest, because of the visibility issue, the two sides are likely to have an encounter and then fight in a mess. If there is a close-range battle, it is obviously more beneficial to the US fleet with more destroyers.

So, after thinking about it over and over again, Sims believes that Su Xiong's tactical level is still enough, so it's okay to give him a chance. As for what if Su Xiong makes a mistake in judgment, it's impossible to fight? At least the blame can be turned on to the Germans.

"In fact, although the U.S. and German fleets have an absolute numerical advantage, in fact, our fleet is not enough compared to the areas we are responsible for. Therefore, General Su Xiong, your fleet must decisively undertake the defense tasks of a certain area. We will assign you an additional destroyer team. You can act on your own in the area designated by General Benson. However, when General Benson asked the German fleet to return to build immediately in the name of the fleet commander, your fleet must execute it." Just when Benson was a little unable to come to Taiwan, Majifen still gave Benson a face.

In name, General Benson still has the highest command, and Su Xiong also obtained the right to act cheaply within a certain range. It can be regarded as a compromise between the two parties.

"I did not question General Su Xiong's ability, but I would like to say that at today's meeting, all the judgments you made were based on the actions of the Japanese fleet in the next bad weather. What if there is a misjudgment? For example, if the Japanese did not take action, or if you made serious mistakes in the action," said General Benson.

"It's very simple. If there are two situations like the one you said, I will resign immediately, and after returning to Germany, I will retire directly and no longer hold any military posts!" Su Xiong's answer was very straightforward, and his decisiveness even made General Benson feel a little moved, because this approach simply leaves no way out, and a battle will determine his future career!

Resigning is actually nothing. After all, in Benson's view, if Su Xiong's performance does not meet the expectations of the US Navy and is such a thorn, once the battlefield fails due to his reasons, Benson is happy to see Su Xiong resign. However, Su Xiong promises to retire directly after returning to Germany, which is a bit too much. Unless he makes too big a mistake, otherwise, under normal circumstances, officers from European countries will just put aside, such as giving a idle or a less important position. For Su Xiong, who has experienced nearly a hundred battles and has made great achievements, he can guarantee that he will resign because of the failure of a battle. To a certain extent, this is a military order.

"I was surprised by your decisiveness and straightforwardness." Benson didn't know what to say. The so-called "humanity needs bark". Since Su Xiong dares to say that, once something happens, Su Xiong retires after returning to Germany. Benson also felt that Su Xiong was frank enough for a visiting general who came to help him.

"If there are no political or other factors that involve the national level, I think we will become good friends," Benson said.
