Just when Crank racked his brains to cooperate with the new troops to slap Spruins' T44 formation, the latter had completed the replenishment and allowed two British divisions to board the ship, preparing to set off tomorrow for reinforcements for the Indian Ocean. The Hornet aircraft carrier with multiple bombs was lying in the South African dock to maintain it. Spruins had great expectations for it, but after inspection, it was found that the trauma was too great and it could not be restored by South Africa's technical force alone and had to be dragged back to the local area for repair. Therefore, the T44 could only rely on the Bunker Mountain to support the scene.

In order to reverse the passive situation of shortage of troops, Spruenz made innovations in the army formation: he asked four aircraft carriers to form an aircraft carrier combat team together with the Bunker Mountain, and then arranged all six fighter jets and SBDs that undertake reconnaissance tasks on the four Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers, and the Bunker Mountain was all SBDs and TBs. This was conducive to leveraging the advantages of integration and rationally utilizing each aircraft, so that the entire formation scale reached 208. Of course, the disadvantages were also obvious that these five aircraft carriers have now become a combat whole, and Bunker Mountain could not act alone from the escort aircraft carrier formation.

After repeated weighing the pros and cons of the staff, they finally used such a plan because this time they wanted to cover the army's landing in India. Whether from a military or political perspective, T44 could not only care about itself. The US military, which has always been accustomed to being big-handed, finally began to learn to save resources to deal with problems.

Coincidentally, this strategy was also implemented after Hori Teki broke the ownership of the Japanese mobile fleet: Kakuda took Ruifeng and the Big Eagle to rob the Soviet fleet, and the Big Eagle only escorted the aircraft carrier level and could not take off heavy-duty attack aircraft. Therefore, Kakuda concentrated all fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft on the Big Eagle, and could cross-transfer landing in emergency moments. The only difference is that the proportion of Japanese fighter jets has always been higher than that of the US military. The US military basically maintained at about 40%, while the Japanese army could reach 45% or even more.

As an individual, it is difficult for Spruins to understand why he sent his troops to India at this moment. In his opinion, India is no longer saved. Unless the Allies can regain the maritime advantage of the Indian Ocean, it is possible to counterattack. But even if they get it back as they wish, it will not take effect in 1-2 years. Although Japan is the life-and-death enemy of the United States, and the fiercer the British and the Japanese fight, the better, but he feels unreliable.

As the commander, he understood the idea of ​​Washington and London. It is very difficult for the Indian defenders to support it until now. No matter from any angle, they must provide some assistance. This is the way to maintain the morale of the troops and maintain the morale of the troops. If a regional battlefield is in trouble, he will ignore it. Either force the troops to die or force the troops to surrender or even turn against the water. The reason why Southeast Asia collapsed instantly is because it feels desperate from top to bottom? Even so, London sent the Prince of Wales and the Counterattack to deter the Far East in the early stage. Although the outcome was very bad, it was sunk on the second day of the war.

While thinking about his thoughts, he sighed and asked Rodick: "How should we end this war?"

"I don't know, I don't even know if I can win in the end." Roddick was even more pessimistic than him, and he was not afraid of this emotion affecting the troops when they were alone. "I just feel that our stall is too big, and we should shrink our defense, concentrate our energy, and concentrate our troops."

"You mean, give up on Great Britain?"

"This involves too much energy and wastes the necessary time." Roddick complained, "Send these two British divisions to India now is simply a death sentence. Apart from delaying the fall of India and causing more trouble for the Japanese, there is no positive point. If you want to say, it is better to give Australia reinforcements!"

"You can't say that the Australians proposed to let their own troops in South Africa go home, but London didn't release them!"

"To be honest, I just can't understand what these big men do. Sometimes I feel that they are paranoid and go crazy." Roddick looked around and said in a low voice, "Think about it, the supplies we give to Great Britain every month are as high as 2 million tons, and only about 1 million tons can be delivered to the British. The rest are either seized by the Germans or sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. If these supplies are not for Fatty Qiu but for ourselves, how many troops can we arm? Even if we don't give them to ourselves, assuming that aid Brazil is better, the supplies we have sent from last year to now are enough to arm one million people? Can the Germans and Argentines withstand in South America? As for giving to the Russians, it is even more wasteful..."

"In this way we will completely throw away Europe."

"Then let it go. Europe is not ours, but South America is different." Roddick thought for a while and felt that this was morally untenable and did not conform to the principle of "political correctness", so he pulled out the "British and British ship" matters to himself. "You see, the British are not focused on alliances, aren't they just caring for themselves? We have not helped Britain enough and have to help the four major autonomous lords, and even the dominant lords enough and have to help the British Empire's colonies? I want to say, American taxpayers are really suckers, and their money has been wasted in vain! This war was originally caused by Fatty Qiu's bad intentions. We have already fulfilled our responsibilities and have no guilt..."

Spruins was stunned. His deputy's attitude was actually more radical than Wallace.

He pondered: "Is this your personal idea or a common idea among officers and soldiers?"

"At least half of the officers and soldiers' ideas. In fact, everyone is not very interested in fighting with Germans. Everyone is most looking forward to teaching the Japanese devils a lesson." Rodick smiled embarrassedly, "I'll tell you the reason, don't laugh..."

"You said, what's ridiculous about this?"

"Although the Germans also killed many of us, it was a gentleman-like war in general. If the president hadn't been rushing to send arms to the British, how could the Germans be so disgusted with us? In the final analysis, the focus of the conflict with Germany was on the British issue." Roddick saw that Spruins's face was not very good, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, this is a personal complaint. I will definitely refuse to accept this. Well, the fascist Nazis are not good things, they should die! Fighting them firmly is the standard answer."

Spruenz was deeply surprised: Isn’t this the opinion that Voice of Europe promotes on the radio all day long? It’s fine for ordinary soldiers to say this, but why does even Roddick have such an attitude as a general? It seems that he has suffered too much defeat, and his morale has begun to shake, and his will to fight has declined greatly. I wonder if the big men in Washington know?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel upset and finally patted the other party on the shoulder: "We are soldiers, and we must obey orders as our duty. Who should be beaten and who should not be beaten, naturally there are politicians who consider it. I have reservations about the views on Germany."

"I understand, so I don't say this normally." Now it's Roddick's turn to sigh. "The key is to find the correct strategic path and tactical means. If I were determined according to my ideas and attitude, Chief Nimitz directly led the main fleet to destroy the German fleet with us. How could so many things happen now? It would be too late for him to turn back to rescue!"

Spruins could only smile bitterly: At that time, he could turn around and not turn around, so how could Nimitz have the final say? This is the tragedy of the soldiers.

Just as the two evaluated Nimitz's original decision, Nimitz was now in anxiety again: he used the night to break through the southern end of Greenland, and encountered a German plane coming to investigate early in the morning. Just when he was full of thought that the Germans would chase him, the local reconnaissance plane sent a telegram. The German main fleet not only did not keep up, but instead narrowed a long distance. Now the gap between the two has widened to nearly 1,800 kilometers.

"What does this mean? Do the Germans go directly to replenish supplies regardless of us?"

"No, those four Veneto can support them for several days. Do they think we have retreated back to the United States?" Cunningham also expressed great doubts, "or the other party is so arrogant that he goes directly to Ireland to prepare for a coordinated landing?"

But this inference is not true, because other reconnaissance aircraft reported that the German landing fleet, which had been found within 1,000 kilometers of Ireland, did not find that the other two aircraft carriers had disappeared like air.

Now it's the t46 formation that is embarrassing. They will definitely not dare to return to the United States. What if the Germans come here just after returning to the United States? Go back to the Denmark Strait? That's really going back and forth, that's too stupid! But waiting here is not enough. This does not guarantee the smooth flow of British and Canadian routes and the safety of Great Britain.

"Whether the Germans come or not, we will continue to go to the relevant sea areas as planned." Cunningham stared at the chart and looked carefully for a long time. "The Germans' landing fleet must have gone in a big circle. They are slow and we are fast. If we go around, we can cover them."

Nimitz had the idea of ​​returning to the United States at this time, but he knew that Cunningham and the British would definitely go wild. After careful consideration, he stated: "Then let's go and take a look, but if it is not particularly obvious, we will have to go to Northern Ireland to replenish supplies."

"This is natural. As long as the fleet enters the Northern Ireland air defense circle, whether the Germans attack Iceland or Ireland, there is room for peace and maneuver."

Just when the two were surprised that the German fleet did not rush to pursue according to their expectations, London was even more surprised by the missing German landing fleet.

Pound slapped the table and cursed: "The air force is full of money. In just a little sea area, I flew more than 30 times but couldn't find the German fleet. This is a fucking hell! Tell them that the Germans must be turned out to me before the sun sets today!"

Now, the German landing fleet that disappeared from their mouths was running slowly towards the Canary Islands in Spain. According to the scheduled plan, the fleet will rest for a day in the Canary Islands and refuel...
