"But what if the German fleet was annihilated by the Anglo-American aircraft carrier fleet? Britain is a great power that dominates the sea, their aircraft carrier fleet should be more powerful than the German army, and Britain now has the United States, which has strong industrial capacity, to support it, so I feel that we should be more wary of the British and American aircraft carrier fleets? ”

But Naval Staff Officer Orel did not seem to see the dissatisfaction of the Soviet Admiral Vladimir, and continued to speak his inner thoughts with a big grin.

"You don't have to worry about these things, I will deal with the leader Comrade Stalin!"

Hearing this, Admiral of the Soviet Union Vladimir said angrily.

Immediately he ignored the staff officer Orel, but turned to talk to the other admirals about other things, and also asked their Baltic Fleet to enter the fortress of Sevastopol as soon as possible, and also asked the signal corps to contact the British and American aircraft carrier forces immediately to see if the other party had entered the fortress of Vladivostok from the Pacific Ocean.

Not long after, the Anglo-American aircraft carrier fleet in the Pacific Ocean also received an encrypted telegram from Admiral Vladimir of the Soviet Union, and wrote back that they would reach the Vladivostok fortress as soon as possible.

At that time, the Japanese army's night tactics were to hit and run, and then after running, they found a way to come back and strike the American fleet again; The tactics of the U.S. military were to hide after fighting, and then wait for the right moment to quickly attack and continue to attack the Japanese fleet.

Therefore, when the British and American aircraft carrier fleets sent a telegram reply to Admiral Vladimir of the Soviet Union, they were highly nervous and on the alert for the Japanese army's sneak attack at any time.

Fortunately, in 1943, the U.S. military had installed radar detectors on the ships, which could detect the sudden attack of Japanese aircraft at night, and of course, the Japanese fleet could also use these radars to detect it.

So the support fleet commanded by Rear Admiral John Chris of the British Royal Navy consisted of 18 ships; Cooperate with the reorganized 18th Task Force of the U.S. Army; That is, the 18th Task Force under the command of Rear Admiral Giffen, which consisted of 3 heavy cruisers, 3 light cruisers and 10 destroyers.

and the new 12 task forces formed by Rear Admiral Neyce and Rear Admiral DeWitt Ramsay, a total of 18 ships, plus 1 Essex-class aircraft carrier, 3 escort carriers, and 2 light aircraft carriers under the command of Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, and 20 ships of various classes, then the number of ships in the Anglo-American task force is 72 ships, plus 6 aircraft carriers.

Such a sea power is definitely a very powerful sea power, and it is definitely a sea power in the Pacific Ocean that cannot be ignored.

However, the name of this huge fleet consisting of the 18th Task Force, the New 12th Task Force, the aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Fletcher, and the support fleet commanded by Rear Admiral John Chris of the British Royal Navy is called the Task Force 20 Aircraft Carrier Fleet, and the commander is Vice Admiral Fletcher.

This was a temporary aircraft carrier fleet, and the first attempt by Britain and the United States to organize a joint alliance with the Soviet naval fleet against all German fleets on the Eastern Front.

For such a powerful lineup, as well as an aircraft carrier fleet that has never appeared in history, Chen Yanlong and the Japanese army are ignorant.

Even Nimitz and MacArthur were not informed, except for Ernest Joseph King, Chief of Naval Operations and Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy, Admiral Marshall and President Roosevelt, and Prime Minister Churchill, no other British and American officers knew that this group had been secretly formed, and then suddenly from Nimitz, Vice Admiral Fletcher, Rear Admiral Noyce, and Rear Admiral DeWitt Ramsay and others were transferred to command the operation.

Because the time to draw Lieutenant General Fletcher is not very long, Nimitz does not know yet.

However, he soon learned from President Roosevelt that the secretly assembled aircraft carrier fleet was about to arrive at the Vladivostok fortress.

And Nimitz will be angry tomorrow when he knows about this, for the simple reason that he is now lacking more aircraft carrier fleets to fight against the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, and President Roosevelt is better than that, not only does he make the war in Europe his first priority, but he also has such a large aircraft carrier fleet that he has not told him.

Of course, if this aircraft carrier fleet is exposed, I am afraid that MacArthur will be even more angry than Nimitz.

MacArthur, who had always wanted to attack the Philippines as soon as possible and recover the areas occupied by the Japanese army, was absolutely unwilling to watch such a huge aircraft carrier fleet go to the Soviet Union, which was far away, to carry out support operations, instead of sending him to fight against Japan.

So in order to conceal these two guys, President Roosevelt did a lot of concealment; And just in case, President Roosevelt and Commander Ernest Joseph King also decided that if this secretly formed temporary task force aircraft carrier fleet was exposed, then it would be split into two fleets and divided between Nimitz and MacArthur to fight against Japan.

As for the support fleet of the British Royal Fleet, it was returned to the British Navy, and the Soviets ignored it for the time being.
