Nimitz nodded and said: "I'm curious, how can you, an army commander, have such a deep understanding of the essence of naval warfare, even if I, a general who has dealt with the navy for decades and experienced a hundred battles, I have to say that I am ashamed, but as far as I know, you have not been in contact with the navy, and this is also the first time in your life to go on a ship, or even the first time to participate in a naval battle?" It's all so incredible, I hope you can answer me, why is that? ”

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Nimitz to ask this, and then he couldn't help but want to laugh, this old man is unwilling to lose? It's no wonder that a person who has been in the naval field for half his life is suddenly defeated at the hands of a young man in his twenties, who can be psychologically balanced?

"Huh!" Jiang Haoran still laughed out loud after all, but he quickly covered it up and said quickly: "General Nimitz, you are right, I have never experienced a naval battle, and this is also my first time on the ship, but I have studied all the naval battles that have taken place since the First Sino-Japanese War, and I have personally conducted war games, and found out the key to the victory of each naval battle, the reason for the defeat, and even the way to turn the tide of the war. Talk', for example, I was born for war, I have an extremely keen insight and overall view of the battlefield, and I am also good at catching any fleeting fighter on the battlefield in an instant, I can arrogantly say that this, looking at the whole world, no commander can reach my realm, naval warfare and land warfare seem to be two different fields, but their essence is the same, both through tactical means to achieve strategic objectives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info So hehe, do you understand me when I say that? ”

Nimitz had a bitter smile on his face and said, "If you had said this to me a few days ago, I would have thought you were arrogant and arrogant, but now"

Speaking of this, Nimitz paused, looked at Jiang Haoran and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "Jiang, I have to admit that you are a very terrifying opponent, in my lifetime, I hope we will not become opponents. ”

"Hahaha!" Jiang Haoran looked up to the sky and laughed, maybe this is the effect he wants, in front of the Mi people, he never hides his strength, and even hopes that this strength will become a shadow on the psychology of the Mi people, so that they will never dare to fight their own or their own country's ideas, undoubtedly, in front of Nimitz, he did it.

Although there was no head-on conflict between the United States and China during World War II in history, the War to Resist and Aid Korea occurred soon after World War II, and he hoped that the United States would give up the illusion of confrontation with China.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that because of Jiang Haoran's strength, Mi will try everything to suppress him from now on, but some things can be solved without being afraid, and Jiang Haoran's consistent style is to rather take it straight than seek it.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Haoran walked into the war room, today is a critical day, although he is not the supreme commander of this battle, but all the plans are formulated by him, he hopes that the battle will end perfectly, and he can also smoothly get the two aircraft carriers returned by the United States.

As soon as he entered the war room, Jiang Haoran found that Nimitz had already arrived and was busy on the sand table with a group of staff generals.

"Morning, General Nimitz!" Jiang Haoran greeted with a smile on his face.

Nimitz raised his head from the crowd, looked at Jiang Haoran with bloodshot eyes, shook his head and said, "It's not early, but I haven't slept yet, Jiang!" ”

"Oh, what, are you in trouble?" Jiang Haoran frowned.

Nimitz said: "Yesterday, the Yorktown was torpedoed, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and it was not until the second half of the night that I found that the keel had been deformed, which caused the watertight compartment to be unable to close, and now the Yorktown is seriously permeable, and it can only reach a speed of fifteen knots under the towing of the destroyer, which seriously affects the speed of the fleet's advance." ”

"What?" Jiang Haoran's face changed drastically, and he suddenly became nervous, "Then how far are we from Midway now?" ”

"Five hundred nautical miles to go." Nimizzy Road.

According to the plan, the position of the Third Fleet must be within 400 nautical miles of Midway Island early this morning, and the ambush circle must be set to be 350 nautical miles from Midway. This distance is just the limit of the combat radius of the island army's zero battle, and it is also the best combat radius for fighters taking off from Midway Island; if they fire in advance, it means that they cannot achieve the best state of firepower; although the whaling forks are powerful, after all, there are only 45 of them, and they can only deal with some of the large warships of the island army, and the combat effectiveness of the island army still exists.

Moreover, in this way, the scope of the ambush circle will also be expanded accordingly, which will lead to the island fleet floating outside the ambush circle, not only can not implement a comprehensive encirclement, but may be bitten by them, so Jiang Haoran is so nervous.

"Where is the position of the Island Army and the position of our Seventh Fleet and the British East India Fleet?" Jiang Haoran took three steps and made two steps, walked to the combat sand table and asked urgently.

Nimitz said: "The outpost of the island army is about fifty nautical miles away from us, and the Seventh Fleet and the East India Fleet are almost parallel to us, about two hundred nautical miles. ”

Jiang Haoran raised his wrist and looked at the watch on his wrist, and said: "It's almost six o'clock now, and the visibility has completely reached the conditions for carrier-based aircraft to take off, I think the attack of the island army will start soon, and the Third Fleet is already in a dangerous situation, I suggest that the 'Yorktown' be abandoned immediately, and the fleet will move forward at full speed, open the distance from the island army, and withdraw from the dangerous area." ”

"No, General Chiang, I can't leave the Yorktown." Nimitz exclaimed: "I have ordered the Seventh Fleet and the British East India Fleet to penetrate behind the island army and expand the encirclement. At the same time, the main battlefield will be extended to a position of 450 nautical miles from Midway, which can be easily reached by both the P-38 Lightning and the P-51 Mustang on Midway, plus the nearly 100 Hellcat fighters on the aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet, it is completely possible to resist the island army's zero battle with overwhelming strength in terms of quantity and quality, and it can also completely remove all obstacles for the bombers to escort them. Yorktown'. ”

"Hey!" Jiang Haoran slammed his forehead, his expression was infinitely crazy, his fingers connected to Nimitz, but he didn't say a word for a long time, and finally dropped the words "mouse eyes", sat on the sofa next to him angrily, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth, but he didn't even light a few matches, and finally smashed all the cigarettes and matches on the ground with hatred, obviously very angry.
