PS: Thank you Brother Nantong, monthly pass.

After the Japanese fleet withdrew, Li Guang led the No. 1 to search the waters of Midway for two or three days, and only rescued one pilot. That is, the only surviving pilot in the fighter squad led by Tang Shenghua - Liu Guozhu.

Li Guang was in a very bad mood, one was the casualties of the Naval Resistance Army, the losses of the pilots were too heavy, and even Tang Shenghua, the commander whom Li Guang focused on training, was killed. The second is that the war situation in Ceylon is quite bad. Third, Nimitz blocked the source of the Naval Resistance Army in the Battle of Midway.

On 11 June, when Li Guang approached Pearl Harbor on the Baxia No. 1, he again received a series of very depressing news.

There is a good cooperative relationship with the United States, and now there are many discordant voices.

Premier Yuan Ye has once again been harassed in the United States. Premier Yuan's visit to the United States, in addition to purchasing materials and arms, was mainly to publicize the atrocities of the Japanese army in the Philippines.

At the beginning, Li Guang sent a special team to collect detailed materials on the march of Bataan and the torture of prisoners by the Japanese army. The materials obtained at the risk of his life were even more spent energy and were promoted in the United States at his own expense.

This propaganda campaign has provoked an unprecedented response in the United States. Wang Shi, the sensational king of the Haitang Kingdom, wrote an article that was too suitable for inciting the emotions of Americans. Writing about the brutality of the Japanese army and the suffering of American prisoners is not only touching to people's hearts, but also makes the American crowd emotional.

One photo, in particular, made the entire American people as angry as a volcanic eruption. In this photo, a hand with a missing ring finger sticks out of the dirt.

It was the hand of a U.S. captive, who was thrown into a pit by the Japanese before he was completely dead. And the severed finger was only because the Japanese wanted to take the wedding ring from his finger. Chop it down with a sharp blade.

This photo made Americans angry more than the tortured corpses of American prisoners, and many young people took the initiative to join the army.

Isn't that a good thing? It's easier to conscript in the United States. It should be said that it is beneficial to the United States.

But this propaganda actually offended quite a few people. Among them, the most direct is the generals of the US Army, and the defeat of the Philippines is a shame for the US Army, the most representative of which is General MacArthur. The propaganda of Haitang Kingdom has simply untied the scars of the US military. Previously, the Americans also knew about the fiasco in the Philippines, but they did not know that the Japanese invaders had mistreated the prisoners so badly, and the lives of tens of thousands of prisoners were slaughtered in a few days.

It is natural for the American people to think about what kind of tragedy will happen to the surviving captives. You know, they have families. The families of the soldiers took to the streets to march and call on the government to take action.

Isn't everything progressing according to Li Guang's vision? Li Guang's aim was to reverse the US military strategy of putting Europe first and then Asia.

Yes. This propaganda has indeed changed the US national policy to a certain extent, and has tilted US manpower and material resources toward the Asian theater.

You must know that President Roosevelt has always put Europe before Asia. Therefore, it has been criticized by all parties in the country.

The newspaper barrage of comments put Roosevelt under great pressure.

Is Europe First and Asia Next, Really in the Interests of the United States? 》

"Young Americans Are Being Tortured by the Japanese, But What Are Our Troops Doing?" 》

Why go to Europe? Our Enemy is Japan"

"Hitler Didn't Kill American Youth. 》

President Roosevelt's strategic thinking of Europe first and Asia then was motivated by interests. Europe is the economic center of the world. If Germany really controls the economy of Europe. Then it will be more difficult to defeat Germany, and it will have to pay a greater price. And Japan even occupied Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia itself has little industry. It will take time for Japan to turn its occupation into power. The Americans were not very worried about Japan's little war potential.

Therefore, Roosevelt believed that it was in the interests of the United States to put Europe first and then Asia. In addition, there is another important reason - blood. The United States is a country of immigrants, but these immigrants are from Europe. Therefore. Subconsciously, Americans can easily agree that Europe is the focus. Americans have a natural affinity for Europe. This cannot be changed.

The propaganda of the Haitang Kingdom undoubtedly gave President Roosevelt a problem. Faintly, President Roosevelt was a little angry with the Haitang Kingdom.

President Roosevelt was dissatisfied. Naturally, there are horses to echo.

Several arms trades in the Haitang Kingdom have damaged the interests of some US consortiums, such as torpedoes, batteries, and napalm.

And if the United States changes its policy of putting Europe first and then Asia, the greatest pressure will undoubtedly be Britain, so Britain has also begun lobbying, and secretly fanning the flames.

Now there is an argument in the United States: What is the nature of the military action of the Haitang State against Madagascar? Is Haitang an aggressor?

There are even French descendants who march in front of the consulate of the Haitang Kingdom, demanding that the Haitang Kingdom promise to withdraw from Madagascar after the war and return the independence and freedom of the Madagascar people (the French have forgotten that they have colonized Madagascar for more than 100 years).

The immediate impact is manifested in the fact that Haitang's procurement activities in the United States have been severely restricted. For example, the PDF torpedo machine, the American company refused to even take the order.

And twelve B17s have been shipped, but they cannot go to sea. Other fighters could also only stay in the harbor and could not be loaded on ships.

Recently, even the Dreadnought dive bomber, which had already received a deposit, was unsubscribed.

As for the latest American fighters, the P51 Mustang fighter, the F4U Corsair carrier-based aircraft, and the F6F Hellcat carrier-based aircraft, even if the Naval Resistance Army paid a high price, the Americans still refused to accept the order. This is a bit strange for Li Guang, some of these fighters have just been finalized, some have not yet been finalized, and the Americans have not yet been equipped, so how can they be sold to the Naval Resistance Army?

Li Guangzhen couldn't laugh or cry, did he move a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

Travelers make mistakes.

Professor Yuan was an old fox, and he didn't even realize in advance how much impact such a move would have. However, if he could think of this unexpected change, Professor Yuan would not be able to compare with the immortals.

The procurement did not go well, coupled with the loss of his eldest son in the Battle of Midway, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, Premier Yuan is now ill.

And in the telegram to Li Guang. There is another item that is even more unacceptable to Li Guang -- the Americans want to buy the Pacific aircraft carrier of the Naval Resistance Force.

In the Battle of Midway, the Americans suffered greater losses than in history, sinking two aircraft carriers, and now the only aircraft carriers that the US military can undertake combat missions in the Pacific Ocean are the USS Saratoga and USS Enterprise.

The Americans lack aircraft carriers, and so do the Naval Resistance Forces. Although the Indian Ocean is already outfitting, there has been a fault in the combat effectiveness of the naval resistance force. Ceylon is now fighting fiercely, and the Naval Resistance Army is in dire need of aircraft carriers.

However, in Li Guang's mind, the importance of the Pacific aircraft carrier is not comparable to that of the Indian Ocean aircraft carrier, which is now undergoing outfitting training.

The sinking of the Liberty Dragon was actually much more severe than it appeared to hit Li Guang. As the supreme general of the Naval Resistance Army. Li Guangqiang stayed optimistic. If Li Guang is depressed, how should the officers below deal with themselves?

The Liberty Dragon was sunk by a torpedo. woke up Li Guang.

He realized more clearly that even if he had insight beyond this era, he could not really build an aircraft carrier.

Don't look at the Maritime Resistance Army, which now has the Indian Ocean launching and outfitting, and the Pacific aircraft carrier is being transformed. But it costs a lot. Can it really reach or approach the same level of shipbuilding as the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom?

Not to mention the software configuration of the aircraft carrier, it is the most basic hull. The Naval Resistance Army also seriously lacks technical strength. This technical strength is not just a serious lack of design capabilities. There is also a huge gap in the level of construction of workers.

A single torpedo can sink an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 16,500 tons, which is a joke in the world.

For the two aircraft carriers under construction, the Indian Ocean is of course important, because it can form combat strength as quickly as possible. And the Pacific aircraft carrier is Li Guang's hope. Don't look at the hull of the Pacific Ocean, which is nearly thirty years old, but its sturdiness is definitely not something that can be sunk by a torpedo. Don't look old. The real level of the American designers hired by Li Guang may not necessarily exceed the design level of the Pacific 30 years ago.

In the past few days, Li Guang has thought a lot. (Although the Kaga was captured by the Naval Resistance Army, Li Guang is not clear about the injury, and the specific needs to be examined by technicians.) ）

In Li Guang's new ideas. The Maritime Resistance Army should have a main aircraft carrier. The main aircraft carrier must first pass the hardware test, and then be equipped with a complete radar system and communication facilities.

With this main aircraft carrier as the center, it is then equipped with several aircraft carriers with relatively simple software and hardware and low cost. For example, the existing high-speed ships of the Maritime Resistance Force can be simply renovated, the hangar can be rearranged, and the flight deck can be installed.

Although such an aircraft carrier does not have independent combat capabilities, it is low in cost. As long as it acts together with the main aircraft carrier, it can also add considerable combat effectiveness.

In fact, after the modification of the Liberty Dragon was completed, Li Guang regretted it a little. The investment is too large, and the viability has not increased much.

If it is a high-speed merchant ship like the PC, it will not cost much to renovate the watertight tank, rearrange the cabins, and renovate the flight deck. In addition to the flight deck, the Liberty Dragon has improved its ability to resist strikes, and the armor of the hull cannot improve its protection ability at all.

It can be said that the construction of the Liberty Dragon was a detour for the Maritime Resistance Army. Of course, at that time, the Maritime Resistance Army only had one fast merchant ship PC, and the lack of skills was also an objective reason.

Under Li Guang's line of thinking, the Pacific aircraft carrier has naturally become the core warship of the Maritime Resistance Force in the future because its hull is the structure of a regular battleship.

The losses of the US forces at Midway were not light, but the US Navy did not lack any men, not to mention the battleships lost in the Pearl Harbor incident, and the tens of thousands of navies that could be freed up were enough to make up the personnel of the two aircraft carriers on the aircraft carriers Lexington, Hornet, and Yorktown, which had already been sunk in battle.

Time, or time. The same reason for asking the Naval Resistance Force to enter the war is that the United States needs time, and Nimitz needs time.

And now, Haitang has an aircraft carrier that is about to be launched - the Pacific. It was drowsiness that met the pillow.

In fact, the Americans are not very interested in this aircraft carrier, but this ship can be used in an emergency.

Moreover, in the eyes of the US generals, such an aircraft carrier is not considered the garbage of the escort aircraft carrier, and it is not difficult to persuade the US front-line generals to agree to accept it.

If it is the aircraft carrier Indian Ocean, which has already been launched, the Americans really do not necessarily make such a request.

It is a pity that the Americans know too well the details of the Naval Resistance Army, and you must know that the Oolong shipyard in Uruguay is now the majority shareholder of the American Morgan consortium.

Therefore, the main battleship in Li Guang's eyes has become the target of the Americans. (To be continued......)
