Chapter 287: Actually Misled Nimitz!

Now that this sudden accident has happened, Nimitz has no time to hold him accountable.

What he thinks more about is that the Whitefish-class submarine can die together with the Japanese Navy's XXI submarine in the deep-sea actual combat confrontation, which is enough to prove that the newly developed Whitefish-class submarine of the US Navy has the level of the world's advanced submarine! At least you can compete with the legendary invincible XXI submarine!

Having seen the Admiral-class aircraft carrier and the Jianghe-class amphibious assault ship of the Royal Navy, Nimitz now knows deeply how backward and rubbish the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier under his feet is.

The Royal Donghua Navy not only far surpassed the United States in the development of new advanced ships, but also surpassed the United States Navy in modern naval development theory.

The British and French were beaten to the brink by Japanese troops in Southeast Asia, and the situation in the Philippines was already in danger.

The Japanese will certainly not let go of the Philippines, and it is equally impossible for the US Government to give up the only US colony in the world.

There will definitely be a war between the United States and Japan!

When the Japanese made a move on the Philippines, war broke out.

The U.S. Navy's Yorktown-class aircraft carriers will certainly not be able to deal with the Japanese Navy's Yamato-class heavy aircraft carriers.

Just two days ago, Nimitz drafted a cable to the U.S. Department of the Navy and the White House at the same time, asking the U.S. government to find a way to import advanced sloping deck aircraft carrier and jet carrier-based aircraft technology from the Donghua Empire. Otherwise, the US Navy will not be able to protect US interests overseas.

Nimitz pointed out in the telegram that the US Navy should also select outstanding young officers and men to study and exchange at the Royal Naval Academy on Paradise Island in the East China Empire. The new military concept of amphibious assault aircraft carrier battle group proposed by the Royal Donghua Navy must be the future development direction of the modern navy.

At the same time, Nimitz stressed that the Japanese Navy must not be allowed to purchase another Admiral-class aircraft carrier and a Qiang-5 advanced jet carrier-based aircraft from the Donghua Empire! Otherwise, the U.S. Navy would be overwhelmed by the Japanese Navy for a long time.

Nimitz asserted that when the Japanese Navy gets the Admiral-class aircraft carrier and the Strong Five jet-based aircraft, it will choose when to move to the Philippines. Therefore, if the United States cannot purchase that general-class aircraft carrier and the Qiang-5 jet carrier-based aircraft from the Donghua Empire, it must also try to sabotage this military purchase by the Japanese!

Two days passed, and the Admiralty's reply to the telegram was two words: "Learned." And the White House didn't even say a word.

Regarding today's clash between the "heavy tooth" and a Japanese submarine, Nimitz believes that this is just the beginning.

He can now foresee that in the coming days, the submarines of the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet, and the Fourth Fleet of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy will definitely be frequent in the waters around the Philippines. As long as they catch the opportunity, they will definitely attack the submarines of the US Navy.

Currently, the U.S. Navy has only seven P-class submarines, six S-class submarines, and 16 Salmon-class submarines in the Philippines. It is simply impossible for these submarines, which are obviously backward, to confront the Japanese Navy's Haida D-type submarines.

The production and manufacture of Whitefish-class submarines must be accelerated! And it is also necessary to design and develop more advanced submarines on the basis of the Whitefish class!

With this in mind, Nimitz turned and walked to the display console and dictated a telegram to the adjutant:

"In the confrontation with the large D-type submarine in the Sea of Japan, the new Shiroyu-class 'heavy tooth snapper' fired torpedoes at each other and died together. From this, it can be judged that the Japanese Navy is very sensitive to the reinforcement of the Philippines by our fleet.

At the same time, it has been proved in actual combat that the Whitefish-class submarine has the combat effectiveness that is not inferior to the XXI type submarine, and it is recommended to increase production, and be sure to allocate no less than 30 Whitefish-class submarines to the Philippines by the end of this year! ”

After the adjutant immediately sent it out, Nimitz lowered his head and once again looked at an aerial photo of the famous aircraft carrier of the Donghua Royal Navy in his hand.

……

The next day, Paradise Island, Imperial Palace.

This morning, Cheng Gong felt exceptionally refreshed.

After the morning exercise, he saw on the front page of the "Heavenly Morning Post" that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the little devil was making a big fuss about the "August 7 submarine confrontation incident" and "strongly criticizing the US Navy's military provocations in Japan's territorial waters and demanding that the US Government give an explanation on this and compensate the Japanese side for all losses." Cheng Gong was in a good mood.

Last night, Cheng Gong was happy after Ning Jingru intercepted and deciphered the telegram that Nimitz sent to the U.S. Department of the Navy.

Chester William Nimitz mistakenly believed that the Whitefish-class submarine had combat effectiveness comparable to that of the XXI submarine, and Cheng Gong had to admire that he had improvised this little trick of fanning the flames on both sides would mislead the strategic decision of the US imperialists.

In the original history, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the little devils promoted the development of the war with a steady stream of plundering and importing strategic materials, but they lost the war as ships loaded with strategic materials were sent to the bottom of the sea.

Cheng Gong has always believed that what really broke the will of the little devils to fight was not the island-hopping operations of MacArthur and Nimitz, the strategic bombing of Japanese cities, or even the use of atomic bombs, but the complete depletion of the little devils' war resources.

During World War II, the little devils lost a total of more than 10 million tons of various merchant ships and freighters, of which the US submarine record accounted for 54%, while the number of officers and men of the US Navy's submarine force accounted for only 1.6% of the US Navy's strength. Had it not been for the constant technical and tactical problems, their record would have been even higher.

If the little devils suffered a complete defeat in this battle of sea lines of communication, the winner is undoubtedly the American submarine.

This American submarine, that is, the predecessor of the Whitefish-class submarine, the Little Shark-class submarine, is also called the Gatto-class submarine.

Although it is said that the Whitefish-class submarine developed by the US Navy has been greatly improved in terms of comprehensive performance compared with the historical Little Shark class, there is at least a half-generation gap between the hull design and electronic equipment and the improved XXI diesel-electric submarine.

After the Japanese Navy's submarine force, which had learned from the German Navy's submarine combat tactics theory in this life, possessed a large number of Japanese Type XXI submarines, the US Navy no longer had to consider whether it could destroy Japan's sea lines of communication, but had to worry about whether its own sea lines of communication could be guaranteed!

After taking a warm shower upstairs and changing into relatively loose and comfortable home casual clothes, Cheng Gong just went out of the room when he received a report from Ning Jingru, saying that Angelina had led Hoover over.

"You didn't go through the main door, did you?" Cheng Gong asked with a solemn expression.

"Nope!" Tranquility Ru Zhengse shook his head and replied, "It's the third secret road." ”

Cheng Gong went downstairs and said in a rather serious tone: "This time Hoover came to the Imperial Palace secretly, this matter should not be publicized, you go down, let everyone in the palace keep their mouths shut for me!" ”

"Yes! Emperor. Tranquility Ru solemnly took the order.
