"Commander, do you think you can take Hawaii in one fell swoop this time?"

Huang Feihu said: "It's hard to say, the opponent's air force is strong, and the naval strength is still not to be underestimated, if they gather those small aircraft carriers to fight us, we may not be able to beat them." ”

"What then?"

"What can we do, we vacated the ship-island aircraft carrier and converted it into a missile launch base just to avoid direct confrontation with their aircraft."

"Oh, it's a pity, our farthest missile attack distance is only 1,000 kilometers, and there is no target, it takes a distance of 600 kilometers to have an accurate head, it seems that this is not very good, 600 kilometers is completely within the strike range of the US planes, it seems too dangerous for us to get so close, and the American planes hit us, and we can't run away."

"That's why we're going to attack at night, at least we can hide ourselves at night." In fact, whether the attack can be successful at night, Huang Feihu can't say well, but during the day they are dangerous, the speed of the ship-island aircraft carrier is too slow, they can't get close to the Hawaiian islands in a short time, so they can only approach slowly,

The ship-island aircraft carrier is eighteen kilometers an hour, and it can only go four hundred and thirty kilometers a day, so they have been approaching Kauai since last night, but the closer they get, it is daytime, and it is already 8 o'clock in the morning, and it is only 1,000 kilometers away from Kauai Island.

The closer this distance is, the more dangerous it becomes, and the Americans are now searching everywhere, afraid of a sneak attack by the Chinese fleet.

"Then you have to be extremely careful not to make mistakes."

"Yes."

From now on, there are 18 hours until 2 o'clock tomorrow, and you can go 320 kilometers, and you will reach 700 kilometers of Kauai Island, although the distance is far, but the fleet cannot get closer, otherwise the danger is too great,

The Beiyang Fleet defends 100 kilometers in front of the ship-island aircraft carrier, so that it can prevent a sneak attack from Hawaii, and as for the US fleet will make a detour to the back, it is not afraid, anyway, early warning aircraft and shipborne radars are not decorations, and they will detect American planes in time.

Hawaii, Nimitz has a sad face, the Chinese fleet is operating vigorously between Hawaii and the continental United States, and the mainland is facing a strong attack by the squadron, and the U.S. government is now making every effort to deal with the threat from the homeland, and there is not much help on his side.

Although Hawaii's defense is very strong now, there is no depth of defense on the island, once the Chinese fleet sneaks in, once the squadron succeeds, then Hawaii is the turtle in the urn.

But he didn't dare to send the Pacific Fleet to fight, and now there will definitely be no huge gap in the strength of the two sides, Nimitz is worried, worried that if the only remaining fleet of the Pacific Fleet is accidentally annihilated, then Hawaii will really not be able to keep it.

Another worrying thing is that Niihau Island,

Niihau, in the vast Pacific Ocean, has an inconspicuous volcanic island, it is one of the eight main islands that make up the Hawaiian Islands, the island is only 186 square kilometers, the population is only more than 300, it is such a small country but rejected the annexation of the United States, and ruled by women for more than 100 years, known as the small kingdom of women,

In 1836, the widow of a Scottish nobleman, the Sinclair woman, was originally ruled by King Maya IV of Hawaii, and in 1836, the widow of a Scottish nobleman purchased the island of Mayanihau from the location of Nihau Island for $10,000.

The fourth generation of the purchase of this island, this may be tired of the high society of the glitzy hypocrisy of the noble lady with a dozen relatives and slaves farewell to the British to the island, the island of more than 200 natives became her subjects, 30 years later, the noble lady died suddenly, she stipulated in her will: the inheritance of this island is not passed on to the children, forever under the rule of the women of the Sinclair family, in 1898 after her death, Hawaii was annexed by the United States, but this small female kingdom does not listen to the United States, Because the family is white, and the geographical location of this island is not important, the United States does not pay attention to it.

But at this time, Hawaii is facing this unprecedented crisis, the position of Niihau Island at this time is very important, if it is captured by the squadron, it will tear a hole in the defense of the Hawaii Island Islands, the squadron has the sharp weapons of helicopters, and it is difficult for the US military to defend at all.

Now that only eight islands are there, the U.S. military can hold Hawaii, otherwise there will only be a dead end and a loss.

Nimitz knew that the U.S. government was no longer likely to invest too much in Hawaii, and that it was impossible to invest more, and that the focus was on the homeland.

Niihau Island is closed to tourists, and the island's residents live a self-sufficient life mainly on animal husbandry and seafood fishing, and there are no modern facilities and buildings on the island, and there are no police and military, and residents can enroll in secondary schools on the neighboring island after receiving 8 years of compulsory education, and can also go to Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, to attend college.

Nimitz can't make up his mind now whether to send troops to force his way to the island, which would inevitably lead to strong resistance from the island's residents, and it would inevitably lead to a bloody conflict.

Nimitz sent people to discuss with the residents of the island many times to send troops to station, but the islanders were unwilling, after the outbreak of Pearl Harbor, the United States suffered heavy losses, Hawaii's defense was greatly challenged, the islanders resisted the entry of the American army by force, Nimitz could only give up, fortunately, the Japanese did not attack with a large army, until a Japanese pilot parachuted and landed on the island, and then was killed by the residents of the island,

And Wang Hanzhang also knows these things about Hawaii, and they are all seen in Baidu Encyclopedia in later generations, but Wang Hanzhang did not plan to send airborne troops to land, not that he thinks that the locals are so murderous and how powerful they can't be beaten, but Wang Hanzhang thinks that the US army may have landed on the island.

Wang Hanzhang did not inform the Beiyang Fleet of these things that Wang Hanzhang knew, lest if heavy troops were stationed on the road, it would bring great disasters to the attacking troops.

"General, the submarine warfare of the Chinese is very strong, we have lost more than 20 submarines." A major general walked in and said to Nimitz,

Nimitz said: "I know, the Chinese did not attack this week, but fought a week of high-intensity submarine warfare, and the losses on both sides were very large, and the Chinese Navy did not have any advantage in terms of submarines, so this battle was very difficult." ”

Although China has lost more than 50 submarines in a week, China's submariners have not flinched, they know that they must continue to fight, and only in this way can they focus the attention of the US military on submarine warfare, so that they can cover the ship-island aircraft carriers, and in this way can they ensure the smooth attack to the greatest extent.

And the U.S. military has lost more than 60 ships, and they have to worry about Chinese submarines breaking into the port to sneak attack, and their planes dare not fly too far, worried that Chinese planes will appear in that airspace to attack them.

Large-scale sorties and waste of gasoline, now their supply is becoming more and more difficult, if the gasoline is consumed by Chinese submarines like this, then the Chinese planes will come over, then their planes will not be able to take to the air to fight.

Major General said: "General, I think the Chinese must be preparing for this, wanting to drag us down with submarines first, in fact, they also know that now it is more and more difficult for us to obtain supplies, and our supplies will become more and more scarce, and then I am afraid that the residents of the island themselves will be in chaos first, and they can seize the Hawaiian Islands at the minimum cost." ”

Nimitz nodded, originally the residents of the island had enough time to return to the mainland of the United States, but only a small number of people returned to the mainland, these people are rooted in the homeland, in which the mainland is always safer than Hawaii, but more people choose to stay in Hawaii, these people have lived here for several generations, they only have Hawaii in their eyes, the United States is too far away, too strange,

After the Great War, especially after the last naval battle, the Chinese Navy has made a comeback after a period of recuperation, and the Chinese Pacific Fleet has been vigorously active in the Eastern Pacific, and at the same time, there are a large number of submarines ambushing the US convoy, which has brought an unprecedented crisis to Hawaii.

In particular, after seven of the ten aircraft carrier fleets of the US Pacific Fleet were killed, this situation became uncontrollable, and they wanted to send the fleet to clear up and suppress the Chinese Beiyang Fleet and were afraid that the Chinese Beiyang Fleet would attack at any time, and they did not know the enemy's strength when attacking the Beiyang Fleet.

Now Nimitz is also worried about whether the Chinese will soon attack Hawaii, according to the current Hawaii for China there is no danger, really to take Hawaii to pay a heavy price, the island has a large number of aircraft, without killing these planes can not land,

Now that the Pacific Fleet has done nothing, and it will not threaten China's transportation in the North Pacific, the squadron can concentrate on attacking the US mainland first, after all, only by defeating the United States, Hawaii will be self-defeating,

Nimitz spent an afternoon in the entanglement, and it was dark, but Nimitz's most fearful moment came, the Chinese Air Force liked to attack at night the most, and I don't know how the other side did it,

Therefore, Nimitz is easy during the day, anyway, there are reconnaissance planes and radars, but at night the reconnaissance planes lose their effect, and it is difficult for the Chinese fleet to detect them when they fight,

At that time, the US Air Force can only passively respond to the battle in its own air, if the Chinese plane flies into the airspace of any island in Hawaii, as long as the bomb goes down, the United States will suffer heavy losses, and these islands are not big in the eyes of the plane, and the Chinese plane can easily drop the bomb on the place where it is dropped, so Nimitz is most worried about this, and it will be difficult to replenish the loss.
