Ishihara couldn't sleep all night, and almost all the intelligence indicated that China was going to attack India in a big way, and it was very likely that it would carry out a landing operation on the southeast coast of India. However, such a clear direction of attack by the Chinese side made him feel uneasy and inappropriate.

The news leaked, China's attack on India has almost turned into a strong attack, will Li Bufan's person do such a thing? He doesn't think so.

At present, China does have an overall strategic advantage, China's air force is almost evenly matched with the air force of the Western coalition forces, China's artillery that was originally weak almost has an absolute advantage, and China seems to have the capital to fight a vigorous large-scale battle. However, weapons and ammunition in the war are consumables, and after a large-scale battle, a large number of artillery captured by China may become a pile of scrap metal.

Although China seems to be extremely strong at present, it cannot change the fact that China's overall industrial capacity is weak. If it was him Ishihara, even if he was really preparing to attack India, if the news leaked and the surprise attack turned into a strong attack, then he would rather stop the offensive plan, because at this time China was not short of money and food, what was it to waste a little money and food? As long as China can maintain its strength, it will still be able to occupy a strategic advantage for quite some time, which cannot be bought by any amount of money.

To a certain extent, the so-called "like an arrow on the bow, it has to be sent" is a manifestation of no capital, but China's current capital is extremely abundant, and a series of troop movements and operational plans and arrangements will waste at most a little material and money and food, and he believes that Li Bufan will not pay attention to it.

The more Ishihara thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he simply came to the courtyard. But I actually saw that the courtyard of Pershing next door was still lit, and I couldn't help but go over and knock on the door.

The guards were already very familiar with Ishihara and did not stop him.

Pershing opened the door and saw Ishihara Wan'er, and said in surprise: "Your Excellency Ishihara, it's past twelve o'clock, haven't you slept yet?" ”

Ishihara smiled and said, "I can't sleep." Why haven't you rested either? ”

Pershing said with a wry smile: "Tomorrow is the weekend, our Darwin port belongs to the rear, many officers and soldiers asked to relax, tomorrow weekend to worship, for which to prepare." I didn't expect to toss until the middle of the night. He paused. Is there something you can do? ”

Ishihara's face had changed, and he said solemnly: "General, do you Americans have the habit of worshipping?" So if it's safe to do it, will the Hawaiian side also do worship? ”

Pershing was surprised: "Of course." The direction of the Chinese offensive has already been confirmed. Hawaii is very safe. ”

Ishihara shook his head and said, "Do you know? If Hawaii is lost. Then the Chinese will gain the strategic initiative throughout the Pacific Ocean, and their warships can threaten the US mainland and even the entire Americas at any time. ”

Pershing laughed, "Of course I know the importance of Hawaii. But that's not possible. If you want to capture Hawaii, you must first invest in a strong navy, but China's main naval force is in the Indian Ocean. ”

Ishihara said solemnly: "Have you forgotten? Not long ago, a fleet secretly sailed at night at China's Sanduao Naval Base, and it was a new warship of the Chinese. ”

Pershing laughed in surprise and said, "Yes." Their new warship was completed and launched. You studied the Army, not much about the Navy. Any warship in the Navy represents a huge financial investment, so the service of each warship is very deliberate, and it must be at least a few months of sea trials. Even if they really go directly into battle, the strength of our Pacific Fleet is several times that of theirs, and they have no chance of winning at all. If the Chinese really want to attack Hawaii, they must at least concentrate all the main naval forces to have the slightest chance of victory. ”

Ishihara said solemnly: "General, creating a miracle of war is the essence that a famous general should have. And Li Bufan is such an outstanding commander. ”

Pershing said seriously: "I admit that Li Bufan is very remarkable. He wants to attack India, and if he succeeds, India may fall into the hands of the Chinese, then with India as a base, the Chinese will control the sea control of the Indian Ocean. ”

Ishihara shook his head and said: "The sea control in the Indian Ocean is indeed very important, but with China's current strength and advantage, they can launch a strong attack on India at any time." So it doesn't make sense for the Chinese to do this. But if China is unprepared to take control of the Pacific Ocean, do you know what the consequences will be? ”

Pershing frowned: "Why do you always think that the goal of the Chinese is the Pacific Ocean, can't it be us?" ”

Ishihara shook his head and said, "The southern islands of Southeast Asia and Australia are dead land, and there is no point in Chinese attacks. If the Chinese gain sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, and then storm India at any cost and control the sea supremacy in the Indian Ocean, it will be equivalent to cutting off our supply lines, and we don't want to be trapped to death, then we can only withdraw, and they can even go south to the southern islands of Southeast Asia and Australia without a single soldier. Otherwise, the Chinese only need to block our supply lines and continuously destroy our supplies and ships, which is a bottomless pit. The southern islands of Southeast Asia and Australia have only one role to serve as a springboard for a counter-attack against China when we have an advantage, and once we are in a weak position, it is a chicken rib. ”

"Chicken ribs?"

"It's a pity to discard the tasteless food."

“”――

A sharp knock on the door woke Bailey from his sleep.

Bailey looked out the window, only to see that it was pitch black, and said angrily: "Damn, God will punish you, what time is it?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Nanyang Front is in an emergency." The staff officer outside the door replied despite feeling very unlucky.

Bailey struggled to get up and opened the door, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The staff officer said: "General Pershing suspects that the Chinese are going to attack Hawaii. ”

Bailey stared at the staff officer with wide eyes, and said seriously in a half-loud voice: "Attack Hawaii? Could it be that the Chinese swam over? God, it must have been that I drank too much yesterday and you were dazzled by the wrong telegram, which is ridiculous. ”

The staff officer smiled bitterly: "Commander, I thought God was joking, but it's true. ”

Bailey cursed: "Damn, that Pershing guy must have listened to the nonsense of that Japanese named Ishihara Wan'er again, can you believe such nonsense?" He looked at his watch and said helplessly, "Forget it, it's 5:32 now, and I don't sleep." By the way, does General Kate know about this? ”

The staff officer said: "Admiral Kate has gone to the command. ”

Bailey shook his head and said, "It seems that he was really frightened by the Chinese." Let's go, let's go to the headquarters too, it's going to be dawn soon. Saying that, he put on his military uniform, washed his face, and came to the headquarters.

As soon as he entered the command, he heard Admiral Kate contact the cruising warships on the perimeter of Hawaii, "All ships and submarines cruising on the perimeter must be contacted." Admiral Kate looked a little nervous.

Bailey stepped forward and said, "Admiral Kate, I want you to know who you are now, you used to be the commander of the Pacific Fleet, but now I am." ”

When Admiral Kate saw Bailey, he ignored the meaning of his words and said, "Bailey, we are not the time to quarrel now, there is already a problem. ”

Bailey said coldly: "What's the problem?" ”

Admiral Kate said seriously: "A cruising submarine in the 17th sea area to the north of us has lost contact. ”

Bailey shrugged, "It's perfectly normal. If the submarine is underwater, it is normal that radio reception is not available. Do you think there will be danger today? In just over half an hour, it will be dawn. Pershing believes in the nonsense of those Japanese dwarfs, do you believe it too? ”

Admiral Kate looked at Bailey in a daze, and said earnestly: "I believe it." ”

“。”

On the sea of about 300 kilometers north of Hawaii, a fleet of dozens of Chinese Navy warships flying the five-color flag is speeding south at high speed, and there is still oil stain and wreckage on the sea not far away.

Grim battle sirens sounded across the sea, huge aircraft carriers were busy, and planes had been pushed onto the take-off runway.

Li Haijun and Sa Zhenbing's faces were as calm as water, watching this scene.

"It's about the same time." Sa Zhenbing looked at his watch and said, "The plane flew over Pearl Harbor, and it was dawn. ”

Li Haijun nodded and said, "We sank a submarine of the Americans, and it is impossible to wait any longer." Three hundred kilometers is completely within the combat radius of our fighters. Ordered the fleet to turn on the radio silence and send a telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of National Defense. ”

"Yes!" Sa Zhenbing responded, and his heart was extremely excited.

He knew very well that their attack would open up a new mode of naval warfare. Although it was the first aircraft carrier battle, they had actually secretly rehearsed it countless times, and according to normal logical reasoning, there was no doubt that the carrier battle group would replace the traditional capital ships, and it would be a battle that would go down in the annals of world history.

Due to the lag in the development of the navy, even if China trains so hard, it will be difficult for it to surpass the Western world in the traditional naval combat mode of capital ship duel, but the naval combat mode of the aircraft carrier battle group is a new naval combat model, and the Western world is almost in its infancy, and even some concepts are far behind the Chinese Navy, and it is not a dream to surpass.

The most important combat weapon of an aircraft carrier battle group is aircraft, and China's fighters have always been ahead of the West, which is undoubtedly the most suitable direction for the development of the Chinese Navy. If the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the United States is destroyed in one fell swoop, then the Chinese Navy will really be able to face the Western Navy in any place for a considerable period of time.

An airwave was heard.

The command waved, and the fighters of the aircraft carrier battle group soared into the sky.
