"I really didn't expect that I would receive an invitation from the U.S. Navy in my life!" On the Dalian battleship of the new generation of war, Deng Shichang and Yang Yonglin also sighed, thinking that they had offended the Americans to the point of home, and now Sims, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, was stunned by his own lesson, and now the US Navy actually invites us to visit the United States? What the hell is going on?

"General Deng, in the eyes of Westerners, only the strong can gain respect." Su Mo on the side said.

"Boy, do you want the Americans to respect you a bit?" Since Su Mo killed Ye Ming in the internal exercise of the Navy last time, he is also a registered member of the Navy, so Deng Shichang knows a little about it, not to mention that the two of them are partners this time.

"As a possible ally in the future, I think it's better to let the Americans wrestle on the sand table than to be beaten by the Germans on the battlefield. Judging by the current data, the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier of the Americans is the least capable of maintaining combat power among all the large fleet aircraft carriers currently completed and planned to be built. And the only non-armored aircraft carrier...... If the U.S. Navy continues like this, the end could be tragic. It is necessary for us to make the Americans realize this. Su Mo said..........

With the advent of the financial crisis, the United States completely lost the confidence to compete with China, and since the possibility of joining forces between China and the Entente in the future was very great, the American Government felt that it was necessary to ease the hostile relations between the two sides, so under the leadership and coordination of the British, the US Navy Department invited the Chinese Navy to visit the United States. Behind the friendly visit, the US Navy wants to see if the Huaxia Navy still has the same fierce combat effectiveness as it did back then! Since it can't pass the direct hands-on test, then it can only be divided into high and low through sand table deduction. However, judging by the experience of the British last time. It seems that the situation is not good.

"Guys. It is said that it is not Ye Ming who came this time, it is a bit of a pity, but it doesn't matter. Let's teach those arrogant Orientals a good lesson! Nimitz shouted to his two subordinates, Halsey and Spruance, in his office.

"And the British, sir. I can't get used to that Cunningham, he is rigid and has no new ideas, and anyone like him can be a general, which is ridiculous! Halsey on the side shouted. Although he did not meet Cunningham, in World War I, Halsey was deeply aware of the arrogance and arrogance of his British comrades, so he did not have a good opinion .........of Cunningham.

That's right, speaking of which. This time, the U.S. Navy needs to receive not only the Chinese, but also the British. After Cunningham was defeated by Ye Ming last time, he returned to England to seriously sum up the lessons learned, and this time he heard that the United States and China might conduct a war game deduction, he thought it was a rare opportunity, so he asked the Admiralty to let him lead the team to participate in this exercise. The Admiralty considered that this was a matter between China and the United States, and it was not good for the British to intervene again, but considering the rare opportunity, it still agreed to let Cunningham go to the United States. Let's talk to the Americans first. If things had come to this point, it would not have disgusted Halsey too much, but the gentlemanly Englishman thought it was too irregular to let a colonel-level officer go. So the line of fire turned Cunningham into a major general. Although he is still doing the business of a colonel-level officer, his title and treatment have gone up!

"Actually, we can practice with this Brit first! I'm quite confident in our warship, anyway, it will take a while for the Huaxia delegation to come by ship, and even if it comes, there will definitely be those bigwigs who will come forward to receive it first, and we have plenty of time to teach the British a lesson, of course, this needs to be agreed from above. Halsey thought for a moment and said. …………。

"It's not a big problem. General Benson had already done so. Nimitz nodded. However, Nimitz did not say the latter sentence of Benson, which is that "it is better to suffer a little setback on the sand table than to lose your life on the battlefield!" "Benson is not at all optimistic about this group of fledgling newcomers. Even Nimitz's confidence in deduction has declined. Not only the deduction with Huaxia, but also the deduction with Cunningham.

Eventually, Nimitz's request was approved. After Cunningham said that he did not mind teaching the Americans first, the British Admiralty also expressed its willingness to conduct a deduction exercise with the US Navy. So, just before the visit of the Chinese delegation, the two allies of Britain and the United States did it first! And this time, in order to get closer to the actual battle, the data of the ships participating in the exercise will be simulated according to the real warships. For example, the U.S. Navy can only use its own two Yorktown-class large fleet aircraft carriers and two Hornet-class aircraft carriers, (the latter of which is close to the performance of historical Yorktown-class aircraft carriers.) All four battleships were non-armored deck aircraft carriers.

As for Cunningham? then German battleships were used...... On behalf of Germany. They will use 2 Blücher-type medium fleet aircraft carriers and 2 Moltke-class large armored aircraft carriers (the latter is British brains because the data is incomplete). The area of the war is located in the Atlantic, and the two sides are separated from the support of shore-based aviation and fight purely by naval fleets. In addition, in order to make up for the difference in tonnage between the two sides, the Americans also enthusiastically gave Cunningham an additional aviation cruiser. Its aircraft capacity is based on 30 fighters. After some adjustments, the naval aviation strength of the two sides is as follows..........

The U.S. fleet plays the role of the red side, with 2 Yorktown-class aircraft carriers with a capacity of 100 aircraft each, and 2 Hornet-class aircraft carriers with 80 aircraft. The British fleet played the blue side, with 2 Blucher-type aircraft carriers with a capacity of 70 aircraft each. The 2 Moltke-class aircraft carriers have a capacity of 95 aircraft each. The aviation cruiser has a fleet of 30 aircraft. (Maybe you can't actually fit that much.) It's just an act in order to catch up with the aviation forces of both sides. The type of carrier-based aircraft will be decided by the parties themselves, of course, taking into account the fact that the Entente did not know the performance of the carrier-based aircraft of the Germans, and in the end it was decided that both sides would have aircraft of equal performance.

"Cunningham, you're taking too much risk in doing this." When he saw Cunningham's arrangement, Potle, as the commander of the air force, looked a little frightened. "We lost last time in the division of forces, and this time you have divided a medium fleet aircraft carrier? If it's a bait, isn't the price too much? The aviation cruiser could not take off a sufficient number of attack aircraft, and using it as a decoy could reserve more sea attack power for the main fleet. ”

"If you were one of those cowboys, what would you do after discovering a medium-sized aircraft carrier?" Cunningham did not directly answer the other party's question. Instead, directly ask the other party about their choice. "If it were me. I will concentrate the forces of two aircraft carriers to strike at this decoy fleet. While the other two aircraft carriers were put on alert. Portale replied..........

"If nothing else, if both sides discover each other at the same time, don't you think that it is a great advantage for us to have 4 aircraft carriers left against only 2 aircraft carriers with aircraft?" Cunningham said with a smile. "And do not forget that the aircraft carriers of the opposing side are all unarmored aircraft carriers, and it is easy to be paralyzed. And the aviation forces of the remaining two aircraft carriers are not fatal for us. Unless they can replace all the planes on the remaining aircraft carriers with fighters, they will lose! And our price is nothing more than a medium aircraft carrier. Cunningham replied with a smile.

"Small for big? It's an interesting idea. But if the opponent is all replaced by fighter jets to block your first wave of attacks, what do you do next? If nothing else, our medium aircraft carrier, which was tasked with decoying the enemy, may have been destroyed. Portale continued to ask, reluctantly. …。

"Unless, the other side can completely block our first wave of attacks, otherwise, as long as we can make one of their warships lose their air capability, then we have the advantage, theoretically we have the same number of fighters, but in fact because we have an extra flight deck, we have an advantage. We still have to release more than our opponents, and we have more tolerance for losses in aviation capabilities than our opponents. Cunningham patiently explained that this plan was designed specifically for the tactical characteristics of the U.S. Navy, for a simple reason...... The Americans have always emphasized the maximum attack power, so their carrier-based aircraft will definitely be inclined to attack aircraft, so if the other side uses the strength of two aircraft carriers to attack the decoy fleet, then the Americans will definitely not have enough combat aircraft to support the air defense umbrella for the fleet! In Cunningham's view, this approach is clearly a ......... of making money without losing money.

"What if this trick is against the Huaxia Navy?" Potter asked.

"I don't know how Huaxia responds. Because we know the tactics of the Americans very well, the two sides have had too many exchanges, but not much with the Chinese Navy. Cunningham shook his head. Although he didn't know how Huaxia would respond, his intuition told him that Huaxia would definitely not be fooled easily.

And while Nimitz and Cunningham were making preparations, the top American leaders led by Magiffin were also busy with the next thing. This war game between the United States and Britain is just a stone throwing in the eyes of Majifen, Cunningham lost to Ye Ming, then there will definitely be traces of Huaxia when formulating tactics, if the United States wins this time, then the next communication with Huaxia will be easier. And if even the British can't beat this exercise, then the US Navy needs to reconsider whether its strategy and tactics are appropriate.
