Third, after the attack, the US military salvaged the sunken warship from the water at an astonishing speed.

And in a very short time it was repaired, and it was refitted, bringing the combat effectiveness of these warships to a new level. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The modification of warships is very complicated, and the impact of new equipment on warships must be taken into account, when so many warships need to be refitted, it will take several months just to draw drawings, not to mention the procurement and production of various equipment and materials.

When these warships began to be renovated, the workers found that everything was ready-made, including drawings, weapons, and radars, as if they were waiting for this day.

The USS California and USS West Virginie [6] Ya were later salvaged and re-entered the war. The US military also probed the sunken "Arizona" to see if there was any possibility of salvage, and finally saw that there was really no hope, so they dismantled the hull exposed to the water, and the bottom part of the hull remained in the sunken place.

On December 7, 1962, Pearl Harbor Memorial was built on the ship's wreck, which is now Hawaii's most famous tourist attraction.

The Oklahoma was righted and towed, but in vain it was repaired, and was decommissioned in September 1944 and sunk on May 17, 1947 when it was towed back to the continental United States.

The USS Utah was an old battleship launched in 1909, but most of its armament had been dismantled and downgraded to a target ship, so the US military did not save it.

Built in 1907, the minelayer USS Oglala is the oldest warship in Pearl Harbor, and it is said that there are seabirds nesting in the chimneys, and naturally the US military will not repair it.

So in fact, the final loss of the US military in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was only these four warships. (Look clearly, it's just four junk warships)

Fourth, the night before the sneak attack, the warships at Pearl Harbor had sunk a Japanese warship that had participated in the sneak attack; Even if this incident did not arouse the vigilance of the US military, then when the Japanese planes flew to Pearl Harbor, the radar troops of the US military stationed at Pearl Harbor reported to their superiors that "a large number of suspicious planes had been discovered." Such information was also overlooked.

The defense of the Hawaii area was originally under the supervision of the Army, but in 1940 the U.S. Navy in Hawaii proposed to strengthen the defense.

In January 1941, Secretary of the Navy Knox proposed to the Secretary of the Army that the Hawaii Naval Base was extremely vulnerable to a surprise attack, and that joint Army and Navy exercises aimed at strengthening the defense would be necessary.

On Feb. 7, he answered the question "The Defense of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii," which included the status of Hawaii's defense and instructions for Hawaii's Army commanders and Navy to work together.

On January 27, 1941, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Joseph Murphy Murphy was inspired. Gru had this in a telegram sent to ******:

"The Japanese military seems to be planning to attack Pearl Harbor at a time when the United States and Japan are at odds with each other."

This information attracted the attention of the War Department and the Admiralty, and the results of the study showed that an attack on Pearl Harbor was technically feasible. On April 1, Chief of the General Staff Marshall stated in his judgment of the situation:

"The Empire of Japan did not issue a proclamation in past war operations,......, attack on Hawaii was supposed to be a high-speed invasion carried out by aircraft carriers supported by high-speed cruisers."

Prior to this, on the instructions of the **** student on February 7, Vice Admiral Short, commander of the Hawaiian Army, and Rear Admiral Bullock, commander of the Navy's 14th Military District, formulated the "Plan for the Joint Defense of the Hawaiian Coastal Front" on March 28;

On 9 April, Rear Admiral Bellinger, commander of the Hawaii Naval Air Corps, and Rear Admiral Martin, commander of the Army Air Corps, also concluded the "Army and Navy Joint Air Operations Agreement."

The agreement envisaged a scenario in which six Japanese aircraft carriers were attacked, at dawn on a Sunday - exactly as what happened later.

Therefore, the attack on Pearl Harbor was expected for the US Army and Navy, because the possible attack on Pearl Harbor was already expected from the central to the local level.

Of course, according to these materials, whether the Pearl Harbor incident was "Roosevelt's conspiracy" or not is a matter of opinion. (Brothers, judge for yourselves!) ）

Two weeks before the attack, Roosevelt had personally received urgent warnings of an imminent attack on Pearl Harbor by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Roosevelt responded by disbanding the air defense of the Pearl Harbor fleet to ensure the success of the Japanese sneak attack. Churchill's November 26 letter to Roosevelt is the only document in their correspondence that has not been declassified on the grounds of "national security", and all other correspondence has been declassified (to be covered).

The catastrophic attack on Pearl Harbor created Roosevelt's coveted casus belli, a war that created the American Empire.

From a long-term point of view, Pearl Harbor was a complete disaster for Japan. In fact, Admiral Yamamoto, who planned Pearl Harbor, himself predicted that even if the attack on the US Navy was successful, it would not and could not win a war against the United States, because the United States was simply too productive.

Perhaps most importantly, Pearl Harbor immediately mobilized a country that was otherwise disagreeable. It united the United States to victory over Japan, and it may have been the reason why the Allies later demanded unconditional surrender.

Some historians believe that the attack on Pearl Harbor itself determined the fate of Japan's defeat, whether Japan only hit a repair poon or an aircraft carrier.

Elsa's happiest thing every day is to read the letters written by her husband Rommel from the front every day, which has become Elsa's habit, and Rommel doesn't care how busy he is, he writes to Elsa on time every day.

Rommel's ostensible girlfriend, Anna, has not stopped during this time, Anna invites the Danish royal family today, and tomorrow she will visit the traditional nobles in Austria.

As soon as Anna appeared in that country, the media in that country sang the praises of Anna, and all kinds of remnants of the Holy Roman Empire jumped out and shouted that Europe should restore the Holy Roman Empire.

There are good reasons for these people, such as increasing the cohesion of the European countries and transforming Germany from an aggressor de jure to a restorer of the Holy Roman Empire. (To be continued.) )
