Chapter 686: Just a drill

On 17 December, news of the total annihilation of India's "sneak attack fleet" spread all over the world at the same time. American society and the morale of the U.S. military were greatly encouraged, and even the Wall Street Jones Index showed a rare rise.

Taking this opportunity, the president of the United States, who will leave office in a few years, ignored the decline of the United States and openly issued an order:

From now on, all "the former 1st and 2nd Task Fleets that are still alive are ordered to form a 'Punishment Fleet' together with the remnants of the Malacca Fleet, and immediately launch an artillery bombardment of the Indian coast!" ”

"The United States has only suffered a temporary setback, and it is not yet the turn of some clowns to come out!"

Soon, eight Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and 19 Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers safely passed through the Suez Canal, which was controlled by the Arab Divine Alliance, and began to attack the west coast of India.

It was only a purely naval strike, and there was no sign of a landing at all, so India, while being attacked, strongly requested mediation at the UN General Assembly, as if the military operation that attacked Singapore a few days ago had nothing to do with India.

However, the five permanent members of the United Nations are unanimous: the United States has not declared war on India, but India has the intention of seizing a third country, Singapore. Therefore, the United Nations will only continue to monitor developments and strive to ensure peace in South Asia......

As a matter of fact, as the five permanent members of the United Nations, everyone knows that Japan, Germany, India, Brazil, and other countries have recently sharpened their heads and tried to enter the camp of permanent members, and their purpose is the "one-vote veto" that makes people want to die.

Unfortunately, none of the P5 are fools, and no one wants to share their power with others – and they are very likely potential enemies!

As a result, the bundling tactics of these countries were ineffective, and they did not dare to form a group to set up another court, so they could only look left and right among the major powers and wait for a new opportunity.

However, now the world is changing too fast, and among the original P5, the United States has obviously come together with China; If Russia wants to develop its economy, it must be inseparable from China; Needless to say, Britain has just issued an invitation to the Chinese head of state to visit the UK; France, on the other hand, has always been a maverick, but on the one hand, it supports the so-called Tibetan "religious leaders", and on the other hand, it is desperately wagging its tail to show goodwill to China......

In the dazzle, in the undercurrent, in the silence, the master of the World Scepter has quietly changed.

India's sneak attack on Singapore has drawn criticism for itself.

Brazil has inherited the lazy habits of the Portuguese, and it is difficult to focus on specific development projects other than beach beauties and football.

After two world wars, Germany is known all over the world for its scientific and technological prowess and pragmatism. However, this excellent national identity has always been exploited - from the Kaiser to Hitler, the Germanic peoples have gone through too many faiths, expectations and struggles, and the result has always been a suffocating one.

But it is precisely because of their danger to the world that they have cut themselves off from the possibility of becoming permanent members.

The remaining one is China's close neighbor Japan.

This is a country that lends itself well to earthquakes and volcanoes.

It is a national characteristic to bully the weak and fear the hard, just like the natives who live in the volcano. Once the volcano is in power, the unstoppable will flee in fear and in a hurry; And once the eruption is paused, they will rush up to the crater like a hungry group of monkeys, desperately picking the fruits of possible survival.

This is a national characteristic nurtured by geographical conditions, which is why Japan never forgets the safe continent.

No one wants to live with earthquakes, volcanoes, and destruction.

But the powerful neighbors directly extinguished Japan's westward expansion. Now that the United States is weak, why can't it destroy the masters it once served?

Guam, Hawaii, and the rich and vast North America, why can't they be occupied by the excellent Yamato people?!

As a result, the "Japanese Defense Forces," which had just been renamed, turned around and advanced toward the central part of the Pacific Ocean. The commander of this mixed fleet was the Japanese admiral who bravely sank the US aircraft carrier "Kitty Hawk" -- Togo Fukai.

Togo's current mission is still to strike at the United States.

Although Togo is well aware that Japan is inferior to the United States in terms of population, resources, and technology and industrial base, that is, the United States is enough to crush Japan in terms of war potential. But Togo firmly believes that the same problem was also in front of General Yamamoto 56, so Togo made up his mind to be the first Japanese marshal to conquer the United States!

Although it is not yet, as long as you succeed, you will definitely become the most outstanding, greatest, and most deserving Admiral Togo Fukai in the history of Yamato!

To this end, Togo not only followed the orders of the Japanese Ministry of Defense (formerly the Japanese Ministry of Defense) to divert the fleet that was supposed to go to the Middle East to help its ally the United States, but also sent a small fleet to Guam with the intention of receiving this "observation post in the South Pacific". But at the same time, the main force of the fleet was still heading northeast, and the front of the troops was directed towards Hawaii.

Taking advantage of the decline of the United States, Togo wants to achieve his own prestige!

From the Sunda Strait through Guam to Hawaii, it is not a matter of a day or two. So on the 17th, Togo received the news that the Indian fleet was stealing chickens and rice in Singapore, but he just snorted coldly, and did not take the defeat of the Indians to heart; So after separating the small fleet, when he entered the Pacific Basin, Togo seemed to have seen the glory of Yamamoto's predecessors in the past...... It is precisely for this reason that when he heard the staff officer's report of the discovery of the US military plane, Togo still smiled coldly and did not care too much.

All good Japanese officers must bet everything they have on victory before every battle!

No matter how strong the United States is, there are times when people beat it and its nose is blue and its face is swollen. Since the Arabs can do it, will the great emperor samurai be inferior to the weak Arabs?

"Air defense preparation!" Dongxiang immediately waved his hand and ordered:

"Keep going!"

…………

Since the armistice between the 15th and the Divine Alliance, all the military systems of the United States have immediately returned to normal, which is one of the important reasons why the Indians were bleeding from their heads in Malacca, and they can also easily detect the strange whereabouts of the Japanese fleet.

Generally speaking, any Japanese military action must be reported to the U.S. military in advance "to avoid accidental injury" without the permission of the owner. But now, this Japanese cannon fodder, which was supposed to pass through the Sunda Strait to the Middle East, suddenly appeared on the route to Hawaii, which cannot but make people think about it.

More than half a century ago, that extremely tragic sea and air war is still engraved on the tombstones of the Americans, how dare we take it lightly now? And judging from the current situation of the direction of movement of the Japanese fleet, it is exactly the same as the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in those years!

The only difference is the direction and means by which the war is launched. What has always remained the same is the desperate gambler mentality of the Japanese!

Do these die-hards always think that if they occupy Hawaii or Midway, they will be able to take the North American continent for themselves?

Don't they understand that the current mode of warfare is long ago different from World War II, and that the various satellites in space, the various missiles of different ranges, and the intercontinental bombers with ultra-long ranges have completely changed the mode of warfare?

Do they still think that they can ignore China's attitude and recklessly launch an attack on the countries surrounding the Pacific?

Is it true that the strategic thinking of these Japanese will never return to the orbit of normal people?

They bully the weak and fear the hard, they gamble on the fortunes of the country again and again, they always want to escape from the archipelago that will sink at any time, but they always unrealistically cast their possessive eyes on invincible opponents......

They deserve to die.

They can only perish!

Guam's alert radar and patrol planes taking off from Andersen Air Force Base had long since spotted the strange Japanese fleet and made a unanimous judgment almost at the same time:

This is yet another Japanese fleet pointing at Hawaii. Its purpose should be the same as that of the Japanese Combined Fleet more than 60 years ago, in a vain attempt to occupy the middle hub in the Pacific Ocean, and use this as a springboard and support to launch an attack on the west coast of North America!

This is a crazy judgment, and it also reflects the more crazy thinking of the Japanese.

If the United States is really dying and powerless to fight back by the Divine Alliance, then of course it is okay to adopt such a strategy. But this is not World War II, and Japan does not have a large number of large ships capable of fighting in the ocean, and what is also missing is the aircraft carrier formation and a large number of carrier-based aircraft from World War II.

Not even medium-range missiles capable of covering Hawaii...... What will Japan use to fight the United States?

In particular, at a time when the US Navy in Hawaii still has a certain combat capability, all US air power can be fully utilized, and all US ICBMs are back in combat capability, will it be a wise choice to rashly attack the United States?

But the Japanese know better that this is an option for which there is no choice.

Japan will never pass up an opportunity!

If you want to live on a safe continent, you have to gamble -- the United States has already begun to move closer to China, and this will inevitably further reduce the living space of the Japanese nation. In addition, if the Korean Peninsula, which is also a feud, does not take advantage of the weakness of the United States to fight now, and wait for China and the United States to really join forces and wait for Japan, it will not be a good ending:

Either the Japanese archipelago is sunk, or Japan is reoccupied!

Regardless of whether China and the United States will attack Japan as imagined, Japan will definitely not be spared. In that case, why not take another gamble?

Togo Fukai also knows that the lack of strategic striking force is the biggest shortcoming of the Japanese army. According to the barrel theory, this will be an irreparable fatal wound for Japan! However, the current world situation has changed dramatically, and there is no time left for Japan to develop strategic weapons.

So, let's make such a desperate effort, for the future of the Japanese Empire, and for the children and grandchildren of the Yamato nation to live on a land that is not in danger of sinking!

"Inform Guam that the Japanese Navy is conducting a search and rescue exercise, so please don't worry. It's important to stress this enough: this is just a drill! ”
