After Nimitz saw the battleships' decisive lineup, especially after discovering Yamato, who was a bigger lap than the Nagato level, he decided to give up the battle in an extremely painful way.

Let the remaining three aircraft carriers retreat directly to Pearl Harbor, and the battleships took the other remaining escort fleets to retreat to nearby Vanuatu first.

Then use land-based fighters from three archipelagos in Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji to prevent the attack of the footbasin battleships.

Land-based fighters have also participated in the battle during naval battles, but the number of land-based fighters in the foot basin is relatively small, so there is still a remaining one on the Bald Eagle.

The battleship fleet of the Foot Basin Navy tried to rush in and found that it could not enter, so he turned to a detour to try to cut the supply line of the island controlled by the Bald Eagle.

At the same time, engineers were arranged to go to Guadalang Xiu Airport and mobilize more land-based fighter jets from the rear.

At this moment, the bald eagle was in serious trouble.

It is to try to rely on the island to defend here, wait for the aircraft carrier repair to be completed when it returns to Pearl Harbor, and reinstall the combat aircraft.

The convergence has returned to Washington in the Pacific, with Colorado where the test is about to end, and there are four South Dakota-class ships that have been tested halfway through, so we will come back and fight again.

That way, six new 16-inch battleships, two old 16-inch battleships, plus three aircraft carriers, should be able to block the footbasin fleet.

This will give you an opportunity to keep Australia's supply line and keep Australia's counterattack base.

But on the other hand, if the aircraft carrier and battleship arrive before the supply line is cut off by the foot basin fleet, or a certain important island node is captured.

Or if the battleship that has not completed the test fails and collectively falls out of the chain during the encounter, the situation may take a sharp turn for the worse again.

The key is that the battleship, which is a larger circle than the Nagato-class, is an unprecedented huge battleship, and it has no means to deal with it for the time being.

You can attack by land-based aircraft near the sea. If there are not enough aircraft carriers in the distance, your fleet will have to be passively beaten.

Once you lose another battle and lose more aircraft carriers and battleships, you will completely lose your control of the sea.

By then, not only those isolated islands on the ocean cannot be defended, but Pearl Harbor and the West Coast may be in danger.

The resources, equipment, and troops left on the island will all be taken over by the foot basin and become the enemy's power.

In that case, it would be better to give up these islands directly. If you can withdraw to Pearl Harbor, you will withdraw to Pearl Harbor. If you can't go back, you will go to Australia to stick to it.

Reorganizing defense in Pearl Harbor will be much lower than it is now, and you can also preserve your strength while avoiding the enemy.

After 42 years, we will wait until the Essex-class aircraft carrier and independent light carrier are launched in batches, and all South Dakota-class tests are completed, and then we will come back to find a place.

However, this may lead to the foot basin occupying Australia. It will inevitably be difficult for our side to attack from Pearl Harbor to Australia and then counterattack the foot basin.

At the same time, these islands may not be able to withstand, and their fleet may not necessarily have problems...

Although the remaining ships of the Bald Eagle are basically the same as in history, the situation is completely different.

The main battleships in history were slowly defeated in many naval battles, and ships transferred from the Atlantic Ocean and new ships were gradually added.

Now these ships are gone on the same day, the next batch of new ships have not been built, and the Atlantic Ocean has not been raised.

So now there is a time period of inconvenience, so the Bald Eagle Navy is now in trouble.

However, this entanglement did not last long. Bald eagles are not chickens with feet, and are not particularly keen on betting on national destiny.

At the same time, the decision-making team led by Master Luo understands that their national strength is much higher than that of the chicken.

More soldiers are mobilized, more warships are produced, and more aircraft are deployed, and they can eventually be reborn.

There are six Essexes under construction in the dock and will be put into service as early as the end of the year. There are still seven on the order waiting to start construction!

In terms of battleships, four South Dakota are being trained, and four Iowa are under construction in the dock. The first ship will be launched soon and will be in service early next year.

He has nothing to do with the foot basin chicken. It is the limit to be able to pile up three or five aircraft carriers and battleships, and he can continue to build it himself!

I will definitely win sooner or later when I compete for strength. Only by taking risks and working hard can I have a chance to win for a while, so I can no longer give the chance to the footbag chicken.

So on the second day of the enhanced Battle of Guadalam, Master Luo issued an order to Nimitz and MacArthur to retreat as a whole and wait for the coming year.

After the bald eagle's naval and army withdrew, the footbasin army quickly occupied New Caledonia and other islands in extreme excitement.

Related news spread, the whole country was jubilant, the entire army was excited on the axis, and Sandezi on the battlefield of the Russians became a little more cruel.

The bald eagle collectively lost its voice in the country, the confidence of the Allied forces was severely damaged, and Australia was even more in a larger panic.

After most of the day of preparation, Master Luo delivered a speech in Congress again and broadcasted it to the world through radio.

First of all, it boosts morale, indicating that the bald eagle will continue to fight to the end, and justice and freedom will definitely win in the end.

Master Luo even took a part of the content on protracted war and broadcasted it directly to the world in English, trying to make the world believe that we can fight and we can win.

Then we call for national mobilization, call for more people to join the army, and call for more skilled personnel to join the army. The army needs more pilots and damage management personnel.

We call on more factories and workers to switch production, hoping that the people can continue to reduce civil consumption and turn more materials and production capacity to military use.

Let more civil and agricultural machinery factories turn to the production of fighter jets, and let steel factories supply more shipyards.

The content of the second part is very important because simple encouragement is empty, and listing things that can be operated is even more convincing.

At this time, the bald eagle still has the potential to be tapped in China. It is not as close to its own limit as Sandezi, nor is it as exceeding its ability to rely on rush to maintain it as a foot basin.

After the speech, Master Luo did not rest and immediately convened important members of parliament, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, representatives of the Navy and Army, and representatives of the major arms dealers to discuss the subsequent improvement and adjustment plans for military production construction.

In history, the bald eagle was crushed by national strength and seemed to be relatively easy to beat, and there seemed to be more abilities that had not been mobilized.

In fact, the bald eagle did fight easily, but the national strength of the white eagle had already reached its limit at the end of the war.

The final shutdown of the Montana-class battleship was certainly confirmed by the importance of the aircraft carrier after 43 years, but the previous construction period continued to be delayed, which was caused by insufficient material supply.

In 44 years, the military expenditure of the bald eagle had accounted for 39% of its own GDP.

Other countries that are not only referring to foot basins and Sandezi, can completely ignore the people's livelihood to pile more than 90%, but the bald eagle in the free country cannot do it.

As an Allied factory and the bald eagle behind it, it must also produce enough civilian goods, not only for its own civilian use, but also for other allies.

In January 1942, the Bald Eagle ordered the nationwide suspension of production of civilian vehicles and allowed automobile factories to produce combat-oriented aircraft and military vehicles.

Only private factories that produce replacement parts have retained a 60% share to produce replacement parts for civilians and maintain the maintenance and use of civilian vehicles.

In other words, there are no more assembly plants that can be transferred to production now, and only some parts factories can still be transferred to production, but the price is that civilian vehicles may not be repaired if they break down.

In fact, unless the foot basin and Sandezi land on the bald eagle at the same time, the bald eagle may give up other countries and civilian products and transfer all production capacity to military products.

Under such circumstances, in 43 and 44 years in history, the bald eagle's shipbuilding ability had actually reached its limit, and no matter how much it was, it could no longer be squeezed out.

From May to August in history, four aircraft carriers, Lexington, Hornet, York City and Bumblebee, sank one after another.

In 1942, the Bald Eagle decided to purchase 10 Essexes in that year, 3 more in fiscal year 1943, and 6 more in fiscal year 1944. These were all decisions made in August 1942.

If they can, of course they would like to order all at the same time, rather than dragging it to 44 years before increasing, but both the finance and shipyard productivity are at their limits.

The orders for 43 years are only allowed to enter the shipyard to start construction after the orders for 42 years are completed in 44 years. The orders for 44 years are simply cancelled.

On the other hand, the orders for the first four Iowa ships were determined before the mid-39 years, the first two ships started construction in 40 years, the third ship started construction in 41 years, and the fourth ship started construction in 42 years.

Orders for the fifth and sixth ships were passed in July 1941, but construction was not started in 1944, and the sixth ship was not completed in 1945.

The five Montana ships, also booked in July 1941, not only significantly delayed the construction period, but also turned the only ship with keels into Midway Island...

In other words, the production orders processed by the Bald Eagle has reached its limit of 44 and 45 years, and the production orders processed are basically arranged now (42 years).

To build more Essexes immediately, not only will it cut off the orders of Montana and Iowa, but it will also stop production, or simply convert aircraft carriers on site.

They had this kind of plan in history, but found that the Essex in front was basically enough, and the high-speed battleships were still useful in the fleet, so they continued to produce them normally.

Now, the decision that Master Luo and the core of the Bald Eagle must make is to limit production capacity and military expenditure in advance, which is from 44 to 45 in history.

Then, study whether some adjustments should be made in existing planned military production.

At the last moment of the Battle of Xin Guadalam, Yamato led his team to chase and kill aircraft carriers that used up all the planes and then blocked the routes of the archipelago, making the battleships that just slightly cooled down became hot spots again.

Yamato's close-up participation, his unprecedented huge hull and main gun caused a huge shock to the Bald Eagle Navy at that time, and also had huge psychological pressure.

At the same time, the process and results of the three aircraft carrier wars in New Coral Sea, New Midway Island and Xinguadao made most naval personnel believe that if both sides are evenly matched during the aircraft carrier, they may lose their combat effectiveness at the same time in the end.

At this time, you can only rely on battleships to fight decisively. If your side does not have enough strong battleships, the opponent can win with battleships after the aircraft carrier battle is tied, and control the sea power when your side's aircraft carrier is injured.

The defense of battleships is perfect, and will not lose their combat effectiveness as easily as aircraft carriers. They can continue to fight with injuries and participate in night cruise operations. They are real sea fortresses.

Of course, the role of aircraft carriers has also been reflected. The carrier-based aircraft of aircraft carriers has advantages in hand-on strength over all types of ships. If the aircraft carrier can win, the battleships will not have to appear.

But the problem is that no one can guarantee that their aircraft carrier will win, so there must be reserved battleships, at least they must be evenly matched, and it is best to form an advantage.

This is actually the logic of the arms race. I must have what the other party has, and it is best to be stronger, otherwise I may lose all of it. This is a deadly but has to accept logic.
