What is the most important thing about the so-called anti-breaking war? It is naturally intelligence! Then how does the most important and reliable intelligence come from? It is naturally the information sent when your transport fleet or the thrown bait is bitten by the enemy. If the opponent just sways on the ocean and does not launch an attack, or is very slippery and runs with a bite, the efficiency of the attacking party will certainly be very low. But at the same time, the source of intelligence of the defensive party is also very problematic. After all, the Pacific Ocean is so large and the development of the aircraft is still very imperfect. If the opponent keeps the radio silent, it will sink to a certain corner. It will be really difficult for you to find the opponent! In addition, the Japanese have a very good grasp of the attack time, so they launch an attack before the sunset. Even if they find the opponent, they can slip away far away. On the next day, who knows where the target has gone?

Therefore, even though the US Navy has a large number of bases, aircraft and ships, it is still difficult to find the Japanese Navy's maritime ships.

"Think of a solution, it is impossible for the Japanese fleet to have no supplies, right? We can always find some clues when we focus on the Philippines, the ports of the former Dutch East India, right?" Sims said with some displeasure.

"According to our speculation, these Japanese warships will last at most 20 days, and they must have been replenished before entering the war zone, so the self-sustaining power of a single ship can be supported for a while. Moreover, this time, the Japanese chose the Central Pacific as a battlefield, rather than choosing the Eastern Pacific as the last time. The distance was shortened by several thousand kilometers and did not rely heavily on supply. Moreover, even if we discovered that it was a bit difficult to catch them. They were never too close to the island, so our land-based air fleet was beyond the reach, and you held the fast warships and aircraft carriers in your hands tightly, making it difficult for us to chase them with slow ships." Majifen said angrily.

"I have a premonition that the chance of our meeting with the Japanese Combined Fleet again is not far away. I must have a strong enough force in my hand and keep them in a good state. The Army's offensive on New Guinea Island has been very smooth so far. If Pershing and others advance faster, they can quickly let the bomber's attack range cover the Bird Peninsula. That is a bottom line, a bottom line that the Japanese Combined Fleet must stick to. I believe that the Japanese will definitely not be able to sit still, and they will attack soon. So we must be prepared." Sims said with a sip of coffee.

"So you think this time the Japanese sent a fleet of destruction to consume us? When our large fleet consumed valuable fuel and state in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese main fleet will set off from the Philippines to fight back against us? Is that true?" Majifen asked.

"Isn't it? Look at the Japanese's actions this time. They are just delaying time and keeping us from being exposed. Their attacks are weak and powerless, and there is no substantial impact except for bluffing to create so-called mental pressure. Even two destroyers and one auxiliary cruiser can force a 10,000-ton warship to retreat. Their performance is too much." Sims said.

"So what's your solution?" asked Majifen.

"Let's get on our new armored cruisers and seaplane aircraft carriers. These warships have strong reconnaissance capabilities and good battlefield mobility. It's enough to deal with the Japanese fleet. Of course, the most important thing is that when the main fleet is fighting, these warships are a bit useless." Sims said with a smile.

"It seems you are expecting a magnificent maritime decisive battle like the Norwegian Sea Battle." said Majifen.

"Don't you expect it?" Sims asked back.

"I only know that what we hope must be what the Japanese try to avoid. They will not engage in a dignified sea decisive battle with us, because they have no chance of winning in such a decisive battle. Our main ships are at least 1.5 times theirs. The powerful industry of the United States not only makes up for the damage to the war, but also greatly narrows the quality gap between our warships. Crown Prince Ruprecht once said, if you want the other party to fight you, then you must make the other party feel a chance to win." Majifen said.

"You always say discouraged words." Sims joked with a smile. Sims' speculation made sense. He had already thought that the Japanese Navy could not always be huddled like this. He also thought about the bottom line time for the Japanese Navy's last attempt, that is, when the US Army was about to control the entire New Guinea Island! He also thought about the sudden appearance of these broken warships, and was probably a little tricky, but the only thing he did not expect was that the Japanese Navy would still take a brazen offensive under such unfavorable circumstances! And he would take such bold actions. The main force of the entire joint fleet entered the hinterland of the US Navy's controlled area! He even wanted to chase and kill the high-speed maritime transport ships that had not been successfully hunted even by the Germans!

As for Majifin, he is a little better than Sims. He at least felt that the Japanese Navy would not have a dignified showdown with all the main forces of the US fleet. Unless there was no choice, the US fleet would definitely not be fully together when the Japanese Navy took action, because this would have no chance of winning for the Japanese! However, Majifin was just a little worse than Betty after all, and he did not comprehend the Japanese Joint Fleet's plan! He was just worried, that's all!

Just as Sims and Majiphin were discussing the Japanese Navy's fleet, the Japanese Joint Fleet had already crossed Cape York under the cover of night and entered the Coral Sea! All this was done without anyone noticing. Without the Americans' awareness, the Japanese Joint Fleet was only one step away from entering the hunting ground! Before starting the hunting, they will complete the final assembly and deployment near the Fiji Islands! At the same time, they will also receive information about the Shadow 42 troop transport ship transferred by the British!

"According to our intelligence, the Shadow 42 troop carrier is likely to pass through the area between the Gilbert Islands and the Toulouse Islands within 2 days. Their route ends in Lai City, New Guinea." When Betty came to the conference room of the Nagamon battleship again, it brought shocking news to everyone present!

"Can we decipher the American telegram?" Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said in a little shocked moment.

"Of course not, telegrams compiled with dumb puzzles are undecipherable under the current circumstances, but don't forget that the Tolois Islands are the territory of the British Empire, and we can tell from their recent actions and telegram frequency that they have big plans." Betty said.
