Chapter 402: Is America Ready?
It was the attack on Pearl Harbor that angered the United States, and American isolationism came to an end, with national public opinion overwhelmingly supporting war against Japan. Heavenly Sound.'" ⒉
The U.S. Congress complied with the will of the people and immediately approved President Roosevelt's declaration of war.
Roosevelt's declaration of war against Japan was no longer in the way, and the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the Philippine Islands, almost destroying all the American forces in the Pacific, and the Americans were furious.
Angry Millican could not tolerate this humiliation, and the Americans took to the streets to punish and exterminate the Japanese and set off a huge wave of protests. Public opinion in the country has changed from its usual isolationism and is now frantically venting its hatred for the Japanese people.
War!
The U.S. ** team must eliminate the Japanese and wipe them off the face of the earth.
A nationalist group that had been opposed and had different opinions on whether or not to enter the war quickly united and vowed to eliminate the Japanese and Japanese people.
The United States is now like a nest of maniacs who have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, extremely aggressive, and the big 6 in North America is overwhelmed by the wave of anger.
The only surviving aircraft carrier of the Pacific Fleet, the Saratoga, was spared the disaster because it was not at Pearl Harbor, and this aircraft carrier will also assume the main maritime military force to counter the Japanese navy.
Historically, the United States was supposed to have three aircraft carriers, the USS Enterprise, the USS Lexington, and the USS Saratoga, but in 1935 European businessmen bought two aircraft carriers, and now only the USS Saratoga remains.
Of course, the shipyard probably still has an aircraft carrier under construction, which is estimated to be completed in a few months.
The main warships of the US Navy are gone, and the only ones that can participate in naval battles are probably the USS Saratoga and a small number of submarines and destroyers.
However, it takes time, shipbuilding is not a matter of a day or two, and in any case, the United States must have enough warships.
In addition to the Navy's shipbuilding program, the US 6 Army will also be expanded.
After the declaration of war, the United States boiled, great sadness turned into motivation, and the United States woke up.
However, the Japanese did not want to give the Americans a chance to turn over, and the navy was ready, and the 6 Army's million-strong army had been assembled and was about to launch a large-scale attack on the US mainland.
The commander-in-chief of the operation, Yamamoto Isoroku, commander of the Japanese-Japanese Combined Fleet, sat at Pearl Harbor and personally commanded it.
On 21 September, the Japanese set out an advance fleet consisting of 27 submarines of the Sixth Fleet and five special submarines on board, and the commander of the advance formation was Vice Admiral Mitsumi Shimizu, commander of the Sixth Fleet.
The commander of the No. 1 Submarine Force is Rear Admiral Tsutomu Sato, commander of the No. 1 Submarine Squadron, and has four submarines under his command, the "I-9," "I-15," "I-17," and the "I-25," attacking the ships of the US military that may launch counterattacks.
The commander of the Second Submarine Force is Rear Admiral Shigeti Yamazaki, commander of the Second Submarine Squadron, and has seven submarines under his command, namely the "I-1," "I-2," "I-3," "I-4," "I-5," "I-6," and "I-7," targeting San Diego, monitoring and waiting for an opportunity to attack the US military.
The commander of the Third Submarine Force is Rear Admiral Miwa Shigei, commander of the Third Submarine Squadron, and has nine submarines under his command, namely the "I-8," "I-68," "I-69," "I-7O," "I-71," "I-72," "I-73," "I-74," and "I-75," which are under the command of nine submarines in the waters of Los Angeles to attack ships that the US military may launch a counterattack.
On September 23, a large fleet sailed out of Pearl Harbor.
Among them, the commander of the air raid force was Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi, and six aircraft carriers, including the "Akagi," "Kaga," "Soryu," "Flying Dragon," Shozuru, and Zuizuru, were tasked with dispatching carrier-based aircraft to attack the west coast of the United States.
As the commander of the alert force, he was the commander of the 1st Destroyer Squadron, Rear Admiral Omori Sentaro, and led the light cruiser "Abusumi" and nine destroyers "Tanikaze", "Urakaze", "Hamakaze", "Isokaze", "Shiranui", "Kasumi", "Hail", "Yangyan" and "Akigumo", and was responsible for providing alert for air raid units and supply units.
The commander of the support unit was Vice Admiral Gunichi Mikawa, commander of the Third Sentai Group, and led two battleships, the "Hiei" and "Kirishima," and two heavy cruisers, the "Tone" and "Chikuma," to provide support for the air attack forces, mainly against the large surface warships of the US army.
The commander of the patrol force was Admiral Osa, commander of the Second Submarine Group, and consisted of three submarines, the "I-19," "I-21," and "I-23," which sailed ahead of the formation route and were responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance.
Seven oil tankers, including the "Polar" Maru, the "Far East" Maru, the "Kenyo" Maru, the "Kuniyo" Maru, the "Shenguo" Maru, the "Toho" Maru, the "Toei" Maru, and the "Japan" Maru, formed a supply fleet and were responsible for refueling the formation at sea.
After these fleets are out, a large number of the 6th Army will be sent out on transport ships, and they will forcibly land on the 6 west coast of the United States after the victory of the Japanese-Japanese naval battle, and burn the flames of war to the mainland of the United States.
Most of the operations in the Pacific have ended, and the Japanese Empire has occupied the Pacific Islands, and these troops that were originally fighting in Asia will be transferred to the North American theater in June.
The determination of the Emperor of Japan was very great, and the Emperor of Japan was an island country with scarce resources and constant disasters, on the other hand, the American Great 6 was rich in products and much stronger than the Japanese Islands, that is to say, the greedy Japanese Emperor took a fancy to the Great 6 of North America.
The Great 6 Dream has been haunting Emperor Hi-Wa, and Feng Tian interrupted his black hand reaching out to China.
However, the big 6 on this earth is not only China, this is the mountains and rivers are in doubt, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and the rich North American big 6 must belong to the Great Japanese Empire.
This is a new situation that did not arise in the previous life, and the Second World War could not be the same as the previous one.
Although the European theater has not changed much, the Asian theater and the war between Japan and the United States have changed beyond recognition.
The main reason why the Japanese swept through Asia much earlier than in the previous life was that the Japanese withdrew their combat troops from the Great 6 and had enough armed forces to start a war of aggression in advance.
Today, Asia is completely in the hands of the Japanese army, and Honolulu has become a bridgehead for the Japanese army to attack the United States.
The current situation is favorable to the Japanese side, and the United States is the passive side.
The contest between the Japanese and the United States has just begun, and it remains to be seen who will be the ultimate victor.
The Japanese army of one million is ready, the war in North America is about to break out, the United States, are you ready?
