On the vast waters of the Pacific Ocean, more than a dozen warships escorted more than a dozen troop carriers and many strange warships to the south at high speed.

A periscope appeared on the surface of the sea not far away, and it was one of the submarines that the US Pacific Fleet had arranged to patrol on the periphery.

"God, is this a troop carrier?"

"I estimate that their speed is simply more than thirty knots, and the cost of such a high-speed troop carrier is simply not much cheaper than that of a battleship."

"What kind of warships are they?"

"It's a tank landing ship for the Chinese. Damn, the Chinese will throw tanks into the landing operation, and these dozen troop carriers, I think each of them can carry at least three or four thousand people, so to speak, the Chinese landing combat force should exceed 50,000 people, Hawaii is finished. ”

The US officers and men inside the submarine were terrified and talked about the Chinese military's remarkable achievements in Southeast Asia and even the Indian subcontinent, which can be described as shocking to the world, and the ratio of casualties on both sides was 20 to 1. Although the top leaders of Western countries have repeatedly stressed that this is a trick of the Chinese, a series of crushing defeats of the Western coalition forces is a fact, at least in the eyes of US officers and soldiers, without three to five times the strength of the troops, it is impossible to compete with China's powerful army.

"Shut up! Dive, do you want to die? The submarine commander roared wildly.

Hearing the commander's roar, the submariners came back to their senses and hurriedly dived. As a submariner, he is extremely afraid of China's anti-submarine capability, especially the American submariner. Last year, more than 1,000 US submarines alone were sunk in the Java Sea, many of which were left over from World War I.

The officers and men of the entire submarine were praying for God's blessing, and God did bless them, whether the Chinese Navy did not want to pay attention to them or did not find them, they all survived. I don't know how long it took, but someone said: "Damn, we should return the news to the command." ”

"Ascend slowly and pay attention." The commander also knew the importance of this intelligence. At that time, the command gave a death order. Let the cruising warships and submarines be sure to find out the truth of the Chinese, which is related to the safety of Hawaii.

The submarine cautiously floated up little by little, and when the periscope reached out of the water to make sure it was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Telegraph. Fast! ”

But the telegram had just been sent. The periscope saw a black cloud of smoke in the distance. The officers and men in the submarine gasped

Beautiful Hawaii has become devastated as countless medical workers and soldiers resuscitate the wounded, leaving no time to heed the stumps and severed arms everywhere. Although the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, the smell of impending wind and rain is permeating, and the air seems to be filled with panic and panic.

The command of the Pacific Fleet was destroyed, and Bailey immediately had a command relocated.

"What? At least 50,000 troops? A telegram that had just arrived made Bailey's face change, and he looked at Admiral Kate, this old man guessed correctly at all, the Chinese really made a bloody investment in the capture of Hawaii.

Fifty thousand was a tangled number, and he was hesitant to decide whether to stay in Hawaii.

"Fifty thousand?" Admiral Kate was surprised, in their opinion, if the Chinese were really ready to take Hawaii, they should send more troops, and the ground should send attacking troops, which should make them desperate. He grabbed the telegram and looked at it carefully, and his face was gloomy and said, "No, these 50,000 should be the vanguard of the Chinese." ”

Bailey was shocked: "How is this possible? According to the establishment of the Chinese, that is the size of three divisions of an army! How could you think that? ”

"Because all the officers and men of this unit gambled on high-speed troop carriers, and they didn't have a supply fleet with them." Admiral Kate's voice was low, and her face was very ugly. This telegram is very detailed, but if the Chinese want to attack Hawaii, it is absolutely impossible not to prevent an emergency, and it is absolutely impossible not to carry a supply fleet, can the Chinese still attack unfavorably and abandon such a huge fleet? That's absolutely impossible.

"Supply fleet?" Bailey's face changed drastically, and he turned back and said sharply to the staff officer, "Immediately call to inquire and ask if the submarine has found the Chinese supply fleet." ”

"Report, emergency call."

Bailey frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"The submarine ** called and found that the Chinese had a larger fleet, totaling sixty or seventy ships, half of which were supply ships and half were troop carriers."

"Bailey and Kate both had a chill in their hearts, if this news is confirmed, then China will invest the size of a group army in the army alone, how can their Hawaiian garrison plus 20,000 or 30,000 sailors resist?

"Immediately telegraph to the Ministry of Defense!"

As the sun sets in the west, dusk approaches.

Outside Pearl Harbor, a large fleet appeared, led by three giant ships like a steel city on the sea, and the hideous cannons slowly pointed at Pearl Harbor.

Bailey was organizing the evacuation of his personnel, and although he had asked the Ministry of Defense for instructions, he had actually decided to evacuate, and all he needed was a telegram from home. Knowing that the Chinese Navy was approaching Pearl Harbor, he and Admiral Kate immediately came to the high ground to watch, and when they saw the three Imperial-class battleships led by China, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Is this the super battleship of the Chinese? Damn, the Chinese actually mastered the technology of triple loading giant cannons. Can their warships withstand such recoil? ”

"From a visual point of view, such a giant ship should reach or exceed 45,000 tons, the main gun should be a triple 406 mm, and the armor should be more than 400 mm.

Bailey said in a deep voice: "I don't understand, since the Chinese have developed aircraft carriers, why do they still spend such a huge amount of money to build such a super battleship, is it just for strategic deception?" If it is really a strategic deception, I think it is enough for them to make one, as long as we Western naval powers see such a terrible warship, we will definitely go all out to catch up and avoid the backwardness of naval armament. ”

Admiral Kate actually has the same idea in his heart, as an old admiral, he can see by eye that the diameter of the 406 mm main gun of the Chinese battleship should be about 55 times, while the current technology of the United States is on the same caliber of the giant cannon, and the reasonable diameter can only produce 50 times the diameter, which means that the Chinese artillery of the same caliber will have a much longer range than theirs, which is a great threat in naval warfare.

Judging from the overall speed of the new warships of the Chinese Navy, the speed of the Empire-class super battleships may also exceed 30 knots, so that they can effectively cooperate with the operation, but the capital ships of the West in this period can only reach about 25 or 26 knots.

Solid armor, powerful firepower, amazing mobility, such a powerful battleship is almost perfect, and this is absolutely impossible to be a cover for so-called strategic deception. He said in a deep voice: "Maybe there is a dispute between aircraft carriers and battleships within the Chinese Navy, or maybe the Chinese Navy believes that battleships still have potential to be tapped." ”

Bei used the telescope to observe the movements of the Chinese troops in the distance, and said bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "The Chinese will soon attack, we will not be able to hold it, the main guns of the super battleship will destroy everything, the fortress guns will be destroyed, we will not be able to pose an effective threat to the Chinese navy, should we let our soldiers be cannon fodder?" ”

Kate hesitated and said, "I personally support all your decisions. If you go to court-martial for this, I am willing to testify for you. ”

"Thank you." Bailey smiled bitterly, although Western armies were allowed to surrender in war, but at that time in a desperate situation. While Hawaii's situation is up to par, Hawaii's strategic position is too important, and if it fails, the consequences would be too bad.

"Report, Presidential Emergency!" A staff officer rushed to the scene.

Bailey took the telegram and looked at it, and his face was happy, but then it darkened again.

Kate saw Bailey's face change, and said in surprise, "What's wrong?" Is the country demanding that we hold on at all costs? ”

"Nope." Bailey said bitterly, "The president asked us to evacuate quickly, and it is important to take the sailors with us. The telegram was supposed to be sent five hours earlier, but there was a dispute between the Ministry of Defense and a vote in the House of Representatives. ”

Kate said bitterly: "It's conceivable, the importance of Hawaii is clear to everyone. It's a pity that if we had received this telegram five hours ago, we would have taken immediate action and would have taken most of the officers and men with us. But if you want to leave now, it's going to be very difficult. I think the Chinese are also very aware of the huge industrial capacity of our United States, which can quickly build a new fleet, but the formation of the fleet requires excellent naval officers and men, and it takes time to run in, and they will not let our naval officers and men go, but they are afraid that now they have completed the strategic encirclement of Hawaii. ”

Bailey smiled bitterly: "Hold on until dark, break through by the night, how much can you go, I will send a group of excellent officers and let them leave by submarine first"

"Woo" A sharp whistling sound came from far and near, Bailey and Kate changed color at the same time, this is the main gun of the Chinese super battleship, which is the prelude to the attack.

On August 23, 1925, the Chinese Navy launched an unprecedented fierce attack on the US Pacific naval base Pearl Harbor with a new fleet, and a few hours later, the 1st Marine Division of the Chinese Marine Corps and the 6th Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces, under the cover of naval guns, took the lead in landing with tank landing ships to obtain the bridgehead, and captured the Pearl Harbor dock area in just two hours, and at noon the next day, all the Hawaiian Islands fell into Chinese hands (to be continued......
