The war lasted until July 22, the squadron attacked smoothly, the Americans were greatly surprised, only a few days of effort, the squadron has taken control of the vast area north of the Seward Peninsula, although these areas are barren, inaccessible, not much use, but the squadron has landed here tens of thousands of troops, which is a huge threat,

In addition, the news of the landing of the squadron has spread in the United States, which is too big a blow to the Americans, since the Revolutionary War, the Americans have firmly believed that the Atlantic will protect them, and later after the expansion of half the world, their territory spans the American continent, and they also believe that the Pacific Ocean can protect them from war,

Now, the Chinese actually landed in North America, or the territory of the United States, the Chinese, they have always thought that the Chinese are still the ignorant and backward Chinese who drag the pig's tail and braids, they can't figure out how the Chinese did it, isn't the United States the first in the world, countless Americans questioned the US government with incomprehension, Truman and others can be described as anxious and helpless,

At this time, the Beiyang Fleet has arrived in the southern part of the western Pacific basin, these days, Huang Feihu and others can be described as very hard, they have to guard against the two task forces led by Spruance, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, the 14th and 15th task forces, and more importantly, they also need to find the daring Alaska fleet,

It is said that the deeds of the Alaska fleet spread all over the United States, with long-range sneak attacks, destruction of important ports in China, and the blowing up of countless aircraft, of course, all of which were published in American newspapers,

Dave himself is now a big hero of the United States, although he lost all the planes, but no one pursues this, if that is pursued, then the United States is more passive in the Sino-American war, three fleets were killed, more than 10,000 naval officers and men were lost, Alaska was also landed by China, and it is absolutely impossible to do without a victory and inspirational words,

At this moment, Dave moved south from the Kuril Islands along the Japanese mainland according to the previous order, and the Izu Islands changed direction and headed southeast to join the Spruance.

Dave's idea is similar to what Huang Feihu and others expected, Huang Feihu believes that the mysterious fleet will not go north after the sneak attack, and after escaping by luck, it will definitely not go north, now is the era of aircraft carrier aircraft, the mysterious fleet has no planes, if it encounters the Chinese fleet, there will be only a dead end, so the mysterious fleet will not go north, nor will it go to the central and northern parts of Midway Island with the Chinese fleet, so they can only go south,

However, this is too extensive to go south, the Pacific Ocean is too big, and it is not enough to complete the search with the Beiyang Fleet, and they also have to put the 14th and 15th task forces, so a bad one is not to kill others, but to be killed by themselves, and the whole army will be destroyed.

The submarine has set off day and night, and the submarine from Beiyang City and other places has also set off to find this mysterious force.

The bombing of Beiyang City is not a joke, the city has just recovered a little, I didn't expect it to be destroyed by the Americans all of a sudden, the failure is not a big deal for China's high-level, because when I fought with Japan before, I lost all the way, but that was three years ago, and there has never been that kind of situation in the past three years. Therefore, the Chinese officials no longer have the mentality of a weak country after the fight, and the mentality of everyone has returned to the mentality of the Celestial Empire.

The Americans suddenly came like this, and everyone was disgraced, so naturally they wanted to pursue this fleet,

And Spruance was originally thinking about taking advantage of the anger of the Chinese and using this fleet as bait to lure the Chinese fleet to attack, so that Spruance could give the Chinese fleet a heavy blow in the back and destroy the Chinese fleet,

However, the Chinese fleet was found between Hawaii and the US mainland, as well as aircraft, which could startle the Americans, the Chinese planes hit here, the US mainland immediately strengthened its vigilance in the West Coast region, the air force was patrolling 24 hours a day, and the radar station did not rest,

The fact that Chinese planes are here shows that China has at least one aircraft carrier in this area, and the aircraft carrier will not act alone, otherwise a submarine can kill them, so this must be a whole fleet headed by aircraft carriers.

There are only three aircraft carriers in China, one in the Pacific Fleet, and two in the Beiyang Fleet, which the Americans know very well, but as for how many ships China is building, they are not clear about this.

Spruance didn't know that the Pacific Fleet had gone south, just as the squadron didn't know that it was the American Alaska Fleet that attacked them.

In Spruance's view, since the Chinese fleet went to the eastern Pacific, then his battle plan was meaningless, but he did not give up, the Beiyang Fleet has two aircraft carriers, and he learned that the Chinese fleet in the eastern Pacific may only have one aircraft carrier after collecting intelligence, which means that China has another aircraft carrier missing,

Spruance did not believe that the Chinese would attack Hawaii, which has thousands of aircraft, just by relying on an aircraft carrier and dozens of aircraft, and at this moment, he also believed that the Chinese must leave an aircraft carrier in the western Pacific to monitor and contain the US fleet in Hawaii.

Spruance finally decided to give it a try, in fact, if the Chinese fleet leaves an aircraft carrier, it will inevitably leave some ships to assist, as long as it can solve half of the Beiyang Fleet, it will also give an explanation to the American people, and solve the general Beiyang Fleet, it will be much easier for them to deal with another Chinese aircraft carrier,

At noon on July 22, Spruance finally made up his mind to use the Alaska fleet as a bait to lure the Beiyang Fleet to take the bait, and then wait for the opportunity to annihilate the Beiyang Fleet.

Dave thought about it carefully after receiving the order, but he thought it was too risky, even if China only had one aircraft carrier, but the aircraft far exceeded the Alaska fleet, you must know that now they only have more than 10 aircraft, and they do not have an advantage in performance, once the Chinese Navy carrier-based aircraft come, then the Alaska fleet will inevitably suffer heavy losses,

Dave summoned a group of people to discuss countermeasures, and the people below also disagreed with this, the danger is too high, you can't sacrifice the entire American fleet in order to kill half of the Chinese fleet, especially this fleet doesn't have much protection ability,

Dave reported to Spruance that everyone in the fleet disagreed, but Spruance, in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, ordered Dave to do so.

Dave and other Alaska fleet officers and sailors argued with reason, saying that if Spruance insisted on sacrificing them, then they would directly disclose the matter to the White House and the public media.

Spruance had no choice but to not force the order, but to change to a negotiated approach, at this moment Dave's Alaska fleet is a hero of the United States, although he has a high position, but once Dave discloses this matter to the media, then he may soon step down,

It has never been advisable to sacrifice his teammates in the United States, and if he did this, many people would think that he had betrayed his teammates for military merit, and he might even be court-martialed when he stepped down.

Spruance re-sent a telegram to Dave, which said: "Mr. Dave, as a soldier of the United States, especially a general, you should shed your blood for the country of freedom and democracy, and defend democracy and freedom, although this operation is a bit dangerous, but you don't have to worry, we will definitely protect you, although your whereabouts will be exposed, but it will only be made public until you enter the range we can protect, so that you don't have to worry about anything, In addition, we will remove the battleships and several large warships and unnecessary ships and personnel in advance, which will protect the safety of the officers and men of the fleet to the greatest extent......"

Dave saw the telegram from Spruance, he gathered his men again, and showed everyone the telegram from Spruance,

Dave said, "If I follow General Spruance's suggestion, I will approve of this plan, I don't know what everyone thinks of this plan." ”

The battleship captain said: "If some aircraft can be replenished, it will be of great benefit to the defense capability of the fleet." ”

Dave understood what he meant, and he said: "This is okay, as long as you send a transport ship to transport the plane over, but this will delay the effort, unnatural, I am afraid that the Chinese will not take the bait." ”

A cruiser captain said: "If we don't replenish the planes, then we should indeed have a large number of personnel and some warships out of the formation, in fact, I still adhere to our original point of view, and we can't put our fleet in for the sake of a Chinese aircraft carrier." ”

"Yes." Another cruiser captain said: "Although the Chinese have a large number of people, they have built a very powerful army, as well as the air force, but the navy does not make rifles, it can build thousands of them in a day, even if we in the United States want to build a large warship, it will take several months, this is still a ship that we have existed for a long time, there is no shortage of mature skilled workers, but what is there in China, they are many but illiterate peasants, can they build warships, obviously not, before the Chinese were lucky, But today, we are fully prepared, with our industrial strength, the three aircraft carriers to save them will be killed in a few days, and then our fleet will be able to hit the doorstep of the Chinese. ”

"Yes, I also think that there is no need to sacrifice us, who can say for sure about the war, even if we don't lose a few people, but it's useless to lose two aircraft carriers in vain, it's better to wait for us to replenish aircraft and supplies before converging with the 14th and 15th task forces to compete with the Chinese fleet."
