Although he did not agree with the admiral's words, Marshall still felt that the focus should be on dealing with the Japanese navy: "Yes, the movements of the Japanese fleet! If the Japanese fleet is still stationed in the Pacific, we should find a way to annihilate this force! ”

Although this is very difficult to do, finding a way to weaken the Japanese naval fleet is something that the United States is desperately trying to do.

The submarine forces are active in the island area with the aim of destroying the Japanese Navy's transport capacity as much as possible and delaying its advance in the Pacific Ocean.

"In the Pacific, Japan does not have a decent supply base! The islands are all in an unusable state, and Japan's construction capacity is insufficient, and the transportation capacity is insufficient, so we still have time! The admiral spoke comfortingly.

Marshall, on the other hand, waved his hand and retorted to this unrealistic consolation: "We are running out of time!" The Japanese army cannot be allowed to do whatever it wants! ”

The Hawaiian military port had been destroyed by bombing, and the remaining facilities had been destroyed before the U.S. forces surrendered.

Japan's desire to use the Hawaiian Islands is simply wishful thinking. Japan could not use Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the Combined Fleet would not have the ability to threaten areas such as San Francisco, the continental United States.

In fact, in the last month, the Japanese army has indeed been invincible in its attacks on the frontal battlefield, but the United States has not wasted this precious time either.

The submarine with a relatively short construction period and full of power was taken out by the United States as a killer weapon and put into the war against Japan.

These American submarines did not target Japanese warships, but only attacked Japanese transports that were not capable of resisting.

They used the tactics they had learned from the German submarine forces to attack Japanese transport ships in the inner circle in groups, causing headaches for the Japanese navy.

The low anti-submarine capability has always been the shortcoming of the Japanese Navy. Throughout World War II, the number of warships lost by the Japanese Navy due to anti-submarine problems was very large.

This is also an important reason why after World War II, the Japanese Navy was willing to become the "anti-submarine detachment of the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy."

Everyone is attracted by the German wolf pack's record in the Atlantic, but ignores the United States, another country that uses submarines to turn things around.

The record of the US submarine force is actually very amazing, and there are statistics that even surpass the terrible wolf packs of the Third Reich.

It's just that these terrible battles are overshadowed by the glow of the Battle of Midway and naval battles such as Leyte Gulf.

The U.S. Navy, which was forced by the Japanese Navy to the point that there was no way out, was forced to take out its submarine force, and immediately caused countless troubles to the Japanese Navy.

Japan, like the United Kingdom, is a maritime country that relies on shipping to maintain its own operations. What this kind of country fears most is a brutal war.

The submarine force of the US Navy has seen this weakness and often goes to the waters near Taiwan to attack the idea of Japan's transportation lines.

You must know that Japan is an oil-poor country, and the oil of this country can only be plundered from the oil-producing areas of Southeast Asia.

Whether it is the Philippine route or the Taiwan route, these oil tankers have to pass through this sea area.

The U.S. submarines, which were waiting for the rabbit, intercepted the Japanese transport ships in this sea area and sank those Japanese transport ships for unknown reasons.

What is even more interesting is that the contradictions between the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army have been going on for a long time, and the contradictions between them have also helped the US Navy a lot.

Japan is also one of the few countries where the army builds its own transport ships and does not rely on its own naval transport ships.

According to the Japanese Army's idea, that is, it is not constrained by the navy, nor is it subject to their cowardice!

As a result, ninety percent of the transport ships of the Japanese army could not be protected by the Japanese navy, so they could only play their own games.

In real history, after a Japanese Navy transport ship was sunk by a U.S. submarine in a certain area of the sea, it was not reported to the Japanese Army's transport ship......

According to the idea of the Japanese Navy, that is: Our Imperial Japanese Navy has planted a heel, and your army should not think of taking advantage of it in vain!

Therefore, submarine commanders of the US Navy often encounter inexplicable situations: a Japanese transport ship was sunk here just yesterday, and the next day a Japanese ship passed by the nearby sea area......

Over time, the losses of both the army and navy accumulated to an even more staggering degree.

At present, the biggest problem facing the Japanese Navy is that the losses of its main fleet are not large, but their logistical supplies have begun to be tight.

The country's industrial production has been paralyzed by the loss of transportation, and the combat units outside the country have also been greatly reduced because they have not been able to receive timely supplies.

It was precisely because of this unfavorable situation that the Japanese base camp moved its mind to invest more troops in the Chinese battlefield.

After all, only China is a battlefield, Japan's logistics supply is relatively good, and the route between the mainland and the puppet Manchukuo and North China is relatively safer.

Because American submarines can basically only return to Australia to replenish, they cannot go north to the Sea of Japan on a large scale.

It is better to say that Japan is afraid of Germany meddling in its own backyard, or that Japan is afraid of US submarines and is preparing to expand the land battlefield...... Anyway, Japan is preparing to turn around and deal with the quagmire-like Chinese battlefield.

According to Japan's speculation, the Chinese battlefield, which had lost external reinforcements, was now weak enough. As long as they work hard, they can end the war of aggression against China once and for all!
