Chapter 1503: Huge Gains
In the following time, China cooperated with Japan to fight, the fleet was divided into different parts, and began to attack various ports in Alaska, without radio, and without cable telegraph, the connection between Alaska and the United States was very weak, the whole attack was from east to west, in the westernmost place, after blocking the port, it was basically impossible to quickly contact the outside world, and reported information, China and Japan allied forces, in the attack on North America, until 1 month later, Japan with the support of the Chinese fleet, Having made most of the islands, the port, the nearest one less than 300 kilometers from Juneau, when the men who had run away from the previous port, finally ran to Juneau, and also reported bad news, at least a large fleet, and a large number of troops, in the attack on Alaska.

This news, like a bolt from the blue, fell on Governor Juno and Alaska's top brass.
Alaska can't be considered a good place, even a little barren, the government officials who can come here, the generals of the army, are basically depressed, when the war comes, the only thing they are happy about is that this is a corner that the Federation has forgotten, although there are also some tasks here, but more of a task on resource collection, for Alaska, it is easy to complete, they even thought about the army or they are going to go to the battlefield, but that is at least a few years later, The United States will go to the battlefield when it is about to usher in victory, but no one would have thought that they would directly usher in war.
The high-level and the governor blocked the news, Juno is the largest city in Alaska, the entire city of Juno has 40,000 people, when the war began, all kinds of job opportunities increased, and even nearly 40,000 floating population, 80,000 cities, I am afraid that in China, an ordinary township, a little bigger, may exceed this number, but in Alaska, this is definitely a huge city, the whole Alaska is only more than a million, Juno City, but more than 1,000 square kilometers of territory, actually occupies 8%, This is not a small level of population density.
The governor knows very well what kind of place Alaska is, what are the citizens of Juneau, once the news spreads, I am afraid that everyone will run out, in the governor's heart, he does not believe that there will be a huge Eastern Fleet and Eastern landing force to the United States, China and the United States have declared war, China has occupied Hawaii in the United States, but after China occupied Hawaii, it began to stop, and did not cross Hawaii and attack the West Coast of the United States, but stopped, Although Hawaii is far from the West Coast of the United States, the West Coast is much more powerful than the barren land of Alaska in terms of the importance of the combat objectives.
In the governor's mind, it's more about determining whether this is a real thing, or a prank, and figuring out how many people are coming and what the current situation in Alaska is.
In the era when there were no satellite maps, in the period when there were no spy satellites, they could only rely on reconnaissance personnel, and as for the reconnaissance personnel of the United States, even the army in Europe was not very good, let alone in the Americas, and even Alaska, the most remote part of the Americas, when they were struggling to find this answer, at this time, more than 90% of Alaska's ports on the Pacific coast had been captured.
In fact, from this point of view, the intention of the Sino-Japanese coalition to occupy Alaska has been achieved, and the most valuable thing in Alaska is this part of the seaside near the Pacific Ocean, which is an absolutely rich place, most of the resources and urban farmland are distributed here, and more than 9 percent of the population is also here, although some of these ports are relatively simple, they are better than temporary island ports, and the headquarters of the Japanese army has also moved from Unalasca Island to Valdez, not far from Juno, which is the snowiest city in California, However, in the summer, the scenery is more pleasant, and if the Japanese are to complete the final occupation of Alaska, it will become a bridgehead to attack Juno.
However, before attacking Juno, most of the valuable places must be obtained first, and after the Japanese occupied the port and captured all the personnel, they marched inward, along several confluences, and occupied all the valuable cities and settlements, and most of the cities in the whole of Alaska, except for the vicinity of Juno, were in the fall and were about to fall.
The governor and high-level officials of Alaska did not hesitate for long, after all, the military situation is like fire, when a large number of fleets and troops are stationed in Valdez, they know that this is definitely not an ordinary army, and the possibility of China is extremely high, because in the world, it is impossible for the yellow race to come up with so many fleets and troops, and the dimension is China.
The telegram is still the fastest way, and soon the urgent telegrams were sent to Canada and the United States, the United States did not expect that Alaska would be attacked, and the focus of their defense has been near Los Angeles, that is, among these large cities on the West Coast, where is the most valuable target, if it is hit, it will be a big blow to the United States, more than 4,000 kilometers from Hawaii to Los Angeles, as long as China completes the construction of Hawaii, basically, it has the possibility of attacking Los Angeles.
In the eyes of the Americans, their initiative to retreat is to gain time, in a year, the United States has at least more than 20 warships launched, as long as these warships form combat effectiveness, the United States will definitely compete with China in the Pacific Ocean, and even occupy China's own territory, China has expelled the power of the great powers, occupied Asia, to a certain extent, the United States is not bad, the United States' most-favored-nation treatment and other policies, it is precisely because of the result of the world's colonies being carved up, to seize the colonies will offend Britain, France and other powers, now, These lands fell into the hands of China, and if China was defeated, these would become colonies of the United States.
The United States did not expect that China would not play its cards according to common sense, and instead of making a move in Hawaii, they jumped to the other side and directly attacked Alaska. Alaska is not a very important place, this is the same as after the United States took Alaska, for so many years, that is, after the discovery of gold in Alaska, this formed a strong wave of immigrants in the past days, before that, few immigrants were willing to come, even Canada, close to the United States There is not much development, many places in the United States, how can there be such a good development to Alaska, just some metal minerals, precious metals, There are also ports and fishing,
These industries are either concentrated in the resource production area, or concentrated in the port, in the really vast Alaska, there are not many people, let alone many interests, plus the United States is inconvenient to travel to Alaska, many things are handed over to the state finance, and even some resources and minerals are still stuck in the resource point.
If it were someone else, it would be difficult to find these mines and resource warehouses, but China has provided dozens of planes, although they are seaplanes, compared with real land-based reconnaissance planes, there is a big gap, but it is enough to explore more than 1.5 million square kilometers of Alaska.
It took the reconnaissance plane seven days to plow the whole of Alaska, but more of a location close to the sea and the mouth of the river, even if it went deeper, it was still on the riverside, artificial buildings, not obvious when searching on land, but in the sky, too clear, carpet photography, most of Alaska's large mines, cities, settlements, were explored by China, and according to these photos, a more detailed map was drawn.
Because China provided a clearer map, Japan's actions were very fast, and Uehara Yusaku also cooperated from the beginning of doubt, to obey orders, the Chinese did a very good job in this regard, any target is useful, although Alaska does not have large-scale urban roads, but most of the cities are distributed along the river, with the help of some inland driving tools, began to storm along the river, and a series of resource points were occupied.
To be honest, Japan listened to China's wishes before and attacked Alaska, what it really valued was 1.5 million square kilometers of land, as for resources, as long as the land is large enough, there will be more resources, but to what extent, Japan does not have an intuitive view, after all, this is a strange continent thousands of miles away, and not many people in Japan have ever landed on these continents, let alone understand.
However, when Japan landed in Alaska itself, Japan really saw the benefits, taking several gold mines in Alaska as an example, the Americans were lazy at some times, and the recovery and transshipment of some precious metals generally took half a year, and in these places, at least more than 4 months of production were stored.
Alaska's gold mines, as famous as Canada's gold mines, although it is only the most humble gold mine, but Alaska's 4 months of output is also a lot, 12 larger gold mines, and dozens of small gold mines have a huge amount of gold sands, which is expected to smelt more than 500,000 ounces of gold, although most of them are gold ore ores, to pay a considerable cost, but the value is at least more than 10 million, plus other harvests, just in Alaska on various minerals, more than 200 million US dollars, This is not the most important amount, in the eyes of the Japanese, Alaska's resource distribution is relatively broad, the layout is also very reasonable, before according to minerals, Japan has set a direction of development, now, it is on the basis of the original, more surprises, China really did not Alaska on this issue, draw a pie to deceive them, but as soon as they came to harvest a huge amount of wealth, which is already excited about Japan, is a huge shot in the arm, the news transmitted back to Japan, the whole country was in an uproar, Even the emperor and high-ranking officials frequently appeared at the training site to encourage the training of soldiers.
