The news that Cheng Biguang and the commander of the Beiyang Fleet inspected the naval situation in Port Arthur was actually part of a deceptive operation that was just recently reported in the newspapers, and the purpose was to cover up the fact that the aircraft carrier fleet, which was disguised as merchant ships and a few escort destroyers, would destroy the US Pacific Fleet in Hawaii in one fell swoop by planes before the arrival of the US Atlantic Fleet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

That's right, a detour along the Aleutian Islands in northern Japan to Hawaii is exactly the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor in Yang Chao's memory, and the Japanese can succeed, and there is no reason why the Chinese Navy can't succeed.

Although Yang Chao judged rationally that the current Chinese Navy is far from reaching the training level of the Japanese Navy during World War II, it is now less difficult for the Chinese Navy to attack Pearl Harbor than it was then, and the weapons used are basically already possessed.

At that time, in order to attack Pearl Harbor and destroy the US Pacific Fleet, Japan carried out radio silence along the way, and adopted traditional navigation measures to cross the dangerous Aleutian Islands, if it were not for a well-trained navy, it would not have been able to do this, and the purpose was only to evade US radar monitoring, but now the Chinese Navy does not need it at all, because radar technology is not yet able to listen to information on the sea, and the distance on the sea is almost a forbidden area for radio, so the Chinese fleet can communicate with the fleet through radio.

As for why their radios can be transmitted over long distances, it depends on Yang Chao's detector in space, as for the Chinese Navy's own doubts, a military secret will solve the problem, they can guess at most that Yang Chao sent an airship to help them relay in the sky, or set up a relay station on some desert island, anyway, absolutely no one guessed that it was alien technology in space.

In order to sneak attack Pearl Harbor and defeat the United States, a potential competitor, Yang Chao also opened his golden finger again and took matters into his own hands. For this reason, he also overstepped his authority and secretly met with Cheng Biguang, and asked Cheng Biguang to agree to carry out this secret operation, of course, this is to undermine China's political system, so Cheng Biguang must keep Pan Xun secret, and he proposed that it was the navy's own idea, and let Pan Xun personally approve it.

Fortunately, Yang Chao has a great influence in the army, needless to say in the army, Wu Peifu is quite obedient, even if Wu Peifu is disobedient, all the commanders of the group army under Wu Peifu are from the more than 60 Huayong battalion soldiers who started with Yang Chao at the earliest, and when Wu Peifu and Yang Chao disagree, it can only be Wu Peifu himself who is set aside.

The same is true of the navy, almost all of the huge belongings of the navy were obtained by Yang Chao through various means back then, including the super dreadnoughts that were snatched from Japan and the super dreadnoughts that were bought from Kolchak. The most important thing is that half of the main officers in the navy were trained by the Yantai Naval School established by Sa Zhenbing, and half were trained by the Fuzhou Shipbuilding School.

Therefore, although Yang Chao gave up power, the military power has always been secretly in his hands, with only one purpose: to seek stability.

Yang Chao is worried that once the army loses its control, it will become warlordized without the constraints of the government, after all, neither Pan Xun nor Mi Qing and others in the government have influence on the army, they are purely civilian officials, and their prestige is not enough to influence the hearts of the people, at least Wu Peifu's qualifications are not lost to Pan Xun and others.

Because he has been secretly controlling the army, Yang Chao can make the current layout, and only then can he boast to Hirohito about Haikou, if the Chinese government does not agree, he must be able to urge the government to go to war with the United States.

Therefore, Cheng Biguang didn't dare not sell Yang Chao's face, and ran to report to Pan Xun about the navy's sneak attack plan, because Cheng Biguang knew very well that he was the same as Wu Peifu, once he disagreed with Yang Chao, they could only be set aside, and Yang Chao was already very restrained if he didn't interfere with them, and he couldn't twist it with Yang Chao at a critical moment.

Hence the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Pan Xun waited anxiously at the presidential palace, after the South Sea Fleet in the Philippines had eliminated a US fleet, mainly captured, after all, the South Sea Fleet in Manila was mainly blockaded, and the main reason for forcing Manila to surrender was because of the pressure on the US military after the landing of the Marines, so the US fleet that was anchored in the port and resisted with the help of shore fire resistance was basically completely surrendered.

It's just that the Manila fleet has only ten warships, and they are all small cruisers and destroyers, not that the Americans don't want to put battleships here, or that they dare not put them, but the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty, like Hong Kong, cannot have capital ships here.

Therefore, the Manila Fleet is harmless, dispensable, and it is the Pacific Fleet that really matters.

Due to the tense relations with China in recent years, the United States has been very attentive to the operation of the Pacific Fleet, not only building a well-equipped naval base at Pearl Harbor, but also placing half of the Navy's capital ships at Pearl Harbor, especially since there are more new ships and aircraft carriers than the Atlantic Fleet, so it can be determined that the Pacific Fleet is more powerful than the Atlantic Fleet.

There are 10 super-dreadnought-class battleships, 4 30,000-ton aircraft carriers, 60 cruisers and destroyers, and as many as 200 other torpedo boats and submarines, with a total tonnage of 500,000 tons, which is basically half of the US Navy, but the aircraft carrier has 4 of the 5 US aircraft carriers.

This is indeed a very powerful opponent, so strong that it was difficult for Cheng Biguang to be persuaded by Yang Chao at the beginning, because Cheng Biguang found it hard to believe that he could kill 10 super dreadnought-class battleships in the United States by aircraft carrier bombing alone, and the thinking of the cannon giant ship was that only battleships could fight against battleships.

Yang Chao successively used the example of the army to emphasize the importance of air supremacy, the power of the air force's bombing, and so on, and also took out the example of the airship that sank all the Japanese navy during the decisive battle with the Japanese navy in Tokyo Bay, but it was still difficult to convince Cheng Biguang, and in the end he promised that only the aircraft carrier fleet would attack the US aircraft carrier, and then bomb port facilities, airfields, roads and bridges, in exchange for Cheng Biguang's promise to Pan Xun to propose a sneak attack plan.

In order to make Pan Xun think that everything is under his control, and not to hit the self-esteem of this maturing politician, Yang Chao can be regarded as painstaking, and it is really not easy to train a successor.

After 18 days of sailing, the aircraft carrier fleet, guided by the sky scout, did not take any detours, and finally approached the waters of Hawaii.

The capital ship is 8 heavy aircraft carriers of the Beiyang Fleet Undoubtedly, a heavy aircraft carrier converted from a 30,000-ton super-dreadnought, there are a total of 10 such aircraft carriers, just like the United States put 4 aircraft carriers in Hawaii, and China put 8 aircraft carriers in the Beiyang, the reason is simple, the United States is to target China and take China as its main opponent, and China is to target the United States and take the United States as its main opponent.

Of course, the two sides did not actually attach great importance to aircraft carriers, and the naval officers on both sides were still a group of old-fashioned guys; although there had been a naval battle in Tokyo Bay, in which airships bombed warships and achieved brilliant results, there were no examples of aircraft bombing warships, and it was generally believed that the load of bombers did not have naval combat value at all, and could not be compared with airships at all.

In the world, the only person who attaches great importance to aircraft carriers is probably Yang Chao.

To this end, he equipped the Navy with the most advanced bombers, and did not hesitate to help Lockheed and Led Zeppelin modify the design many times, and forcibly advanced the performance of the bomber to the level before World War II.

Zeppelin's latest monoplane bomber has a bomb load of 500 kilograms, a flight speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and a combat radius of 800 kilometers.

In recent years, the Americans have vigorously developed the airship industry, which has surpassed the scale of China's airship manufacturing, and the huge airship industry has squeezed the American aircraft industry to the point that it is almost impossible to survive, and even the Wright Aircraft Company has closed down after losing war orders last year.

For the decline of China's airship industry in recent years, China has always claimed that the reason is that the severance of trade with the United States has made China's airship lose a stable supply of helium, and the helium filled by China's airship has always been industrially produced by only the United States, and only Rockefeller's atmospheric fields can produce helium, but China and the United States have made bad relations, and after the Exclusion Act, the United States has banned the export of helium to China, a strategic resource.

Therefore, in the past two years, the number of Chinese airships has decreased sharply, from 10,000 at the peak to 3,000, while the number of aircraft has been 4,000, exceeding the number of airships. The Americans are equipped with 10,000 airships of various types, and 3,000 airships of various types have been deployed in Hawaii alone, but there are not even 500 combat aircraft, which are almost used for practice, and even these 500 planes are not on the same level as China's aircraft of the same type.

The Chinese Navy has this degree of technological superiority, which gives the aircraft carrier group the hardware strength to attack Pearl Harbor.

In addition, the Qingdao Arsenal developed new equipment such as empty torpedoes and armor-piercing bombs, which were specially used to deal with battleships with rough skin and thick flesh.

Cheng Biguang's order to the navy was that after destroying the aircraft carrier, priority should be given to striking at shore fire and communication lines, while Yang Chao's order was to give priority to bombing battleships after destroying the aircraft carrier, and then successively destroying port facilities, especially airports and other facilities, with priority above the arsenal and oil depots.
