Chapter 633 Special Mixed 20 Aircraft Carrier Fleet
"But what if the German fleet was annihilated by the British and American aircraft carrier fleet? Britain is a major country with maritime hegemony. Their aircraft carrier fleet should be stronger than the German army. Moreover, Britain now has the United States with strong industrial capabilities to support it. So I think we should be more careful about the British and American aircraft carrier fleets?"
But Navy Staff Orel seemed to have not seen the dissatisfaction of Soviet Admiral Vladimir, and continued to express his inner thoughts casually.
"You don't have to worry about these things. I will handle them with the leader Comrade Stalin!"
Upon hearing this, Soviet Admiral Vladimir Win said angrily.
Then he ignored the staff officer Orel, but turned around and talked to other naval generals about other things, and asked their Baltic fleet to enter the Sevastopol Fortress as soon as possible, and asked the communications soldiers to contact the British and American aircraft carrier forces immediately to see if the other party entered the Vladivostok Fortress from the Pacific Ocean.
Not long after, the aircraft carrier fleet that was united by Britain and the United States in the Pacific also received an encrypted telegram from Soviet Admiral Vladimir and replied that they would arrive at the Vladivostok Fortress as soon as possible.
At that time, the Japanese army's night tactics were to fight and run away, and then they ran away and then found a way to come back and attack the US fleet again; while the US army's tactics were to hide after fighting and wait for the right time to quickly attack the Japanese fleet.
So when the British and American aircraft carrier fleet responded to Soviet Admiral Vladimir, they were highly nervous to warn the Japanese army of sneak attacks at any time.
Fortunately, in 1943, the US military had installed radar detectors on the ships, which could detect the sudden attack of Japanese aircraft at night. Of course, the Japanese fleet could also use these radars to detect them.
Therefore, the support fleet commanded by British Royal Rear Admiral John Karris has a total of 18 ships; the 18th Special Mixed Fleet that cooperates with the US military to reorganize; it refers to the 18th Special Mixed Fleet commanded by Major General Giffin, which has 3 heavy cruisers, 3 light cruisers and 10 destroyers.
As well as Major General Noyce and Major General Deweet Ramsey, a new 12 special-mix fleet formed together, a total of 18 ships, plus a total of 1 Essex-class aircraft carrier under the command of Lieutenant General Frank Jack Fletcher, 3 escort aircraft carriers, 2 light aircraft carriers, and 20 ships of various types, the number of ships of the special-mix fleet that the United Kingdom and the United States united is 72 ships, plus 6 aircraft carriers.
Such maritime power is definitely a very powerful maritime power, and it is definitely a maritime power in the Pacific that cannot be ignored.
However, the name of this huge fleet consisting of the 18th Special Mixed Fleet, the New 12 Special Mixed Fleet, the aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Lieutenant General Fletcher, and the support fleet commanded by Royal Rear Admiral John Karris is the name of the Special Mixed Fleet, and the commander is Lieutenant General Fletcher.
This was a temporary aircraft carrier fleet, and it was also the first attempt by Britain and the United States to jointly organize with the Soviet naval fleet to fight against all German fleets on the Eastern Front.
Chen Yanlong and the Japanese army knew nothing about such a powerful lineup and the aircraft carrier fleet that had never appeared in history.
Even Nimitz and MacArthur were not told that except for Ernest Joseph King, Secretary of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy, General Marshall and President Roosevelt, and Prime Minister Churchill, no other British and American officers knew about this secret formation. Then, suddenly, Lieutenant General Fletcher, Major General Noyce, Major General Deweet Ramsey and others were transferred from Nimitz to command the battle.
Because it was not very long to draw Lieutenant General Fletcher and others, Nimitz didn't know yet.
However, he would soon learn from President Roosevelt that this secretly formed aircraft carrier fleet was about to arrive at the Vladivostok Fortress.
And when Nimitz knew about this, he would be very angry tomorrow. The reason is very simple, because he is now lacking more aircraft carrier fleets to fight against the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. President Roosevelt and others are better. Not only does he regard European war as the top priority, but he also has such a huge aircraft carrier fleet, and he has never told him.
Of course, if this aircraft carrier fleet is exposed, MacArthur will probably be even more angry than Nimitz.
MacArthur, who had always wanted to attack the Philippines as soon as possible and recover the area 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 without being dispatched to him for combat against Japan.
So in order to conceal these two guys, President Roosevelt and others did a lot of concealment work; and just in case, President Roosevelt and Commander Ernest Joseph King also decided that if this temporary special-mix aircraft carrier fleet that was secretly formed was exposed, it would be divided into two fleets and distributed to Nimitz and MacArthur to fight against Japan.
