The United States has deciphered the telegraph code of the radio communications of the island nation, which only a few people at the top know about, after all, it is too important.

Once you have deciphered the code, you will be able to know the movements of the island nation, but this does not mean that you will know everything.

For example, after close reconnaissance, they know that the island nation will carry out a sneak attack on their island, but they don't know where, and in the radio communication of the island country, it is called AF.

Nimitz and the others fell into bitter thought, for the island country, where do they want to attack the United States? It is obvious that it will be either Midway or the Aleutian Islands.

According to their speculation, Nimitz thought of a way to leak out the lack of fresh water in the Aleutian Islands through non-confidential channels, hoping to arrange merchant ships to replenish the Aleutian Islands with fresh water as soon as possible.

As a result, on the same day, in the radio communication of the island nation, it was reported that the AF lacked fresh water, and it was hoped that the attacking force would bring enough fresh water.

In this way, the goal is finally set, which is the Aleutian Islands!

This is a masterpiece of nature, look at the map, in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Alaska, USA, there is a semicircular ribbon of archipelagos, intermittent, stretching from east to west, almost up to the vicinity of Kamchatka in Asia. It is more than 2,700 kilometers long.

Taking the Anadyr Bay at the northern end of the Bering Sea as the central point, and then taking the distance from this central point to the Aleutian Islands as a radius, the Aleutian Islands are almost all distributed in this circle.

If the Bering Sea is compared to a river, then the Aleutian Islands are like a long series of "stepping stones" that bend in the water, starting from the Alaska Peninsula, stepping on these "stones", you can "walk" to the other side of the "river".

This is the Aleutian Islands, which are strategically located in the northern Pacific Ocean in the form of a moon and are the northern part of the Pacific Ocean.

From Europe to the Americas, whether it is navigation or aviation, it will not go through the warp coil, which is relatively long, but first north to the high latitudes, and then to the south, which can greatly save the voyage.

In other words, the Aleutian Islands are the shortest route between the island nation and the Far East to North America and Northern Europe, and the closest distance between the United States and Russia.

If the islanders capture this place, then the bombers of the islanders can easily fly to the west coast of the United States to bomb, and the fleet of the island nation can also depart from here and radiate to the west coast of the United States, which is quite unfavorable for the United States.

And another factor was that it would seriously threaten the water passage for the United States to transport supplies to the Soviet Union.

There was no alliance between the island nation and Germany, but the relationship between the two sides was close, and the islanders relied on a large number of German bombers to bomb Pearl Harbor.

The appearance of German submarines in the Arctic must also have something to do with the island nation, and the German factor makes the Aleutian Islands even more of a target for the island nation.

Overall, the Aleutian Islands are composed of five groups of islands, Fox, Andreyanov, Four Hills, Rath and Neil, with a total of 159 large and small islands with a total area of about 18,000 square kilometers.

Among the archipelago, there are only three excellent ports, one of which is close to the former Holland Port on the east coast of the Alaska Peninsula, which has strategic military value and has always been a US naval and air base. At the northwestern tip of the Aleutian Islands is Attu Island, the last island in the United States and the closest island to the Soviet Union. The island has many harbors and precarious conditions, and is a natural anchorage for ships.

From the geographical point of view, Attu Island must be the first island to be captured by the islanders, it is close to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union does not have a powerful navy and air force here, and the United States is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is easy to be occupied by the islanders when caught off guard.

After that, the islanders will continue to expand eastward, gradually encroaching on the entire Aleutian Islands, and even eastward all the way to Alaska!

"Nimitz, your analysis is correct." Roosevelt nodded: "So, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Concentrate all our main forces, including three aircraft carriers, in a decisive battle with the island navy in the Aleutian Islands, and take out the island navy in one fell swoop!" Nimitz said.

The three attack aircraft carriers are already the largest number of sorties that the United States can dispatch.

The United States lost two aircraft carriers in the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the USS Yorktown sank in the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the USS Saratoga is still in the shipyard and is said to have been repaired.

Nimitz's plan included this aircraft carrier.

The other two, one is the Hornet and the other is the Vespa, both of which are the latest to enter service.

The construction of aircraft carriers takes time, and it cannot be achieved overnight, and now the United States has put all its forces into national defense, and a large number of warships have begun to be built, and on the slipway, at least eight aircraft carriers are under construction, not including a large number of escort aircraft carriers.

However, none of them have yet been built, and now these three ships are already the limit of the Pacific Fleet, and they are all the home of the United States, but Nimitz wants to get them all out, which is simply a gambler's desperate bet.

If it wins, it can severely damage the fleet of the island country and curb the expansion of the island country in the Pacific Ocean, after all, the industrial capacity of the island country is even weaker, and their warship construction cycle is long, and it simply cannot withstand the attrition of war.

This is good, of course, but if it loses, the United States will be forced all the way to the west coast by the island nation, and the US Navy will no longer be able to operate in the Pacific.

It definitely takes courage!

Nimitz was a man of courage, and Roosevelt was also a man of courage, after receiving Nimitz's report, Roosevelt just pondered for a moment, and then immediately made a decision: "Nimitz, do what you want!" ”

The United States needs victory, and it needs a bold navy to inspire the whole nation through victory in the Pacific theater!

At the same time, it is not necessary to fail, although there are not many aircraft carriers, but they can mobilize the air force in the past, there are many airfields in the Aleutian Islands where fighters can take off and land fighters, and with the support of land fighters, their chances of victory are much greater.

They don't know that they miscalculated, they thought about heavy losses, they also thought about defeating the island fleet, they just didn't think about it, the battle they planned didn't happen at all, they were tricked!

With Roosevelt's affirmation, the U.S. Pacific Fleet, under the leadership of Nimitz, moved again.

Just as the meeting was coming to an end, the Secretary of State came up with one last question: "The President, those Nissi, are constantly submitting enlistment reports, and they want to join the military, to fight at the front." ”

Nissi, who is a Japanese American in the United States, when the war between the United States and the island nation broke out, these immigrants were quite pitiful and became the object of venting for the American people, and the United States moved them all to the West Coast of the United States to be kept in centralized care.

Now, the Nissi have to show their loyalty!
