The United States has been operating Pearl Harbor for a long time, and has hoarded a large number of strategic materials here, the most important of which is the 4.5 million tons of heavy oil, and it is very difficult to hoard so much oil during the war, and in the original history, Japan let go of the most important oil depot and attacked the battleships of the lowest value, which is tantamount to forcing the United States to eliminate the battleships that have fallen, and completely counting on aircraft carriers to fight.

In this time and space, the Japanese attacked the US oil depot for the first time, causing losses far beyond the imagination of the United States and Japan, and the heavy oil burned and exploded at the first time, raising flames of several hundred meters, like a volcanic eruption, and several Japanese carrier-based planes that did not come to evade were swallowed up by the flames.

From the first moment of the explosion, it was indicated that the fire could not be controlled at all, and where the heavy oil flowed, it would become a sea of fire, and the scene of China's bombing of Keelung reappeared, but Pearl Harbor was obviously more miserable than Keelung, because Pearl Harbor's oil was dozens of times more than Keelung.

The resort of Hawaii became a hell on earth in an instant, and the American GIs who were enjoying their vacation suddenly received an air raid alarm, and they ran out in a panic, and then saw the fire engulfing them, and these soldiers of the Japanese Navy may not have any fear, but in the face of the raging fire, these American GIs were terrified.

Some people tried to stop the fire with fire water cannons, but the heavy oil burning was not something that water could solve at all, on the contrary, a large amount of hot water vapor caused many American soldiers to burn.

Most of the soldiers began to run frantically to the warship, hoping to get out of this purgatory, but the second wave of Japanese attack planes had arrived, and these people did not expect the war to be so simple, and they had already seen the fire spread to the dock within half an hour. Several large ships at anchor have already been set on fire.

American soldiers boarded the warships one after another. At this time, the Japanese launched a merciless bombing of these warships. It was impossible for the US forces in a panic to break through the blockade, and with aircraft bombing outside and monstrous fires inside, the US Pacific Fleet soon came to a dead end.

The commander, Admiral Kimmel, sensed that the situation was not good as soon as the fire burned. However, he was also powerless and could only report the situation to Washington, and then he decisively ordered all US Navy soldiers to evacuate Pearl Harbor as soon as possible in small boats, where they could run. Wherever you go, just leave Pearl Harbor.

Kimmel himself and some of his cronies found a small yacht, which they fled to sea, and looked back at the once prosperous Pearl Harbor, which had been completely turned into a fire purgatory, with most of the island's people and facilities destroyed.

Six of the eight American battleships were engulfed in fire, and the USS Arizona and Tennessee were the first to rush out of Pearl Harbor because of their relative proximity to the exit, but they were fiercely attacked by Japanese torpedo planes, and the two battleships were completely sunk by aircraft.

In addition, the three aircraft carriers that hurt the most for the United States. The USS Enterprise, USS Lexington, and USS Saratoga are all in port, with three aircraft carriers. Along with all the pilots, almost all the professional pilots died in the fire, and only a few escaped by the cruise ship dinghy.

The loss of warships was still a small matter, but the loss of personnel was the most painful for the United States, and all the well-trained naval soldiers and commanders were not lost on the battlefield, but were consumed by the fire, and many other inhabitants of the island also suffered unjustly.

The fires could not be extinguished, the trees and vegetation on the island were all burned, there was no way to live, and a considerable number of people died from smoke and suffocation, and then their bodies were burned to ashes.

Japan only sent a total of two attack waves, the Pacific Fleet was reduced to nothing, and Pearl Harbor was also completely burned to ashes, in fact, the fire burned for a month, and finally stopped because of the heavy oil burning, a month of high temperature scorching, so that the entire Pearl Harbor opportunity turned into a ceramic handicraft, the ground became extremely hard, if you can't remove this layer of hard shell, I am afraid that this place will become a single grass.

In addition, the thick black smoke caused serious environmental problems, and the black smoke came to the United States along the air current, and a large amount of black rain fell on the west coast of the United States, as if it were the end of the world.

The United States was completely shocked by the serious consequences of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, and at the first moment of the attack, President Roosevelt summoned the main members of the government, and what the United States needed most now was to know how much it had lost and how to fight the next war.

Marshall, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had a very solemn face, he held a thin piece of paper in his hand, but the weight was like a mountain: "Mr. President, three aircraft carriers, eight battleships, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, five destroyers, and seven supply ships are all lost. To make matters worse, more than 15,000 naval soldiers, carrier-based pilots, and maintenance, logistics, shipbuilding, medical and other professionals were killed in the fire. And even if we can still control Pearl Harbor, it can no longer be used as a fulcrum at sea, and if we want to continue to deal with the Japanese, we will have to base ourselves in San Diego and other places on the west coast, and the round-trip distance will increase by thousands of kilometers, and the logistics alone will give us a headache! ”

Roosevelt's heart twitched every time Marshall said a word, this is the essence of American maritime power, now all of it is gone, as long as he closes his eyes, Roosevelt feels that there is a raging sea of fire in front of him, as if he can see the Japanese are smiling with a hideous and smug face.

Syllable! Roosevelt slapped the table suddenly: "Gentlemen, no matter how difficult it is, the United States will not give in, Japan turned Pearl Harbor into a sea of fire with a despicable sneak attack, and we will use a more powerful attack to turn the entire four islands of Japan into a sea of fire, and if Japan can kill us 10,000 people, they will have to pay the price of 10 million people!" ”

Roosevelt gritted his teeth and said, "Gentlemen, the United States immediately declared war on Japan, and all you need to do is to find a way to teach Japan a lesson and help the United States win." ”

Roosevelt set the tone, and the whole United States was running at a high speed, and before Roosevelt declared war, he first sent a message to Beijing, Roosevelt was not stupid, he was certainly sure that the United States could defeat Japan, but if the cost was too great, it would be worthless at all.

In particular, Roosevelt was worried that Japan would take the opportunity to invade the west coast of the United States, so that the American homeland would suffer from war, and this was something that the United States absolutely did not want to see.

Now looking at the whole world, only China can help the United States, and once China's ten aircraft carriers are dispatched and can even intercept Japan's combined fleet, Roosevelt has to turn to China for help.

At this time, Qiao Yu could not hide the joy in his heart, in the original time and space, China was the first to start the war with Japan, and in this time and space, China successfully dragged to the end of the war, everything was as perfect as imagined.

In the face of Roosevelt's request, of course, Qiao Yu will not easily agree to the United States, now is the time for China to wait for the price to sell, if the Yankees want China to help share the pressure, they must show full sincerity, otherwise everything is delusional.

At the same time, Qiao Yu announced that it would provide a medical team of 200 people to the United States to help treat the injured Americans, and Qiao Yu donated 10 million Chinese dollars to the United States in the name of the Chinese government.

The Chinese government's statement undoubtedly moved the United States very much, but Roosevelt knew what he most longed to participate in the war, but Qiao Yu did not say anything at all, and it seems that it is definitely not an easy thing to want China to contribute.

The Chinese government is not in a hurry, but British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is ecstatic, in the past year it was Britain itself against Germany, and now Germany and Japan have dragged the Soviet Union and the United States into the war, and in terms of the balance of strength, Britain has already occupied the advantage.

The United States alone has far superior industrial strength to Germany, and Churchill also knows that although China is still waiting, Qiao Yu's various statements alone are very clear, and it is only a matter of time before China joins the anti-fascist camp, and at that time, Britain will have the three major powers as its backing, and it will not be a problem to win the war.

Churchill immediately also had a good night's sleep, and Stalin also relaxed, the United States finally entered the war, and the burden on the shoulders of the Soviet Union was also much lighter, although the Soviet Union was still rapidly defeating in front, but Stalin's heart had already been bottomed, the United States joined, and soon China will also join.

An unprecedentedly powerful anti-fascist alliance had taken shape, and the Soviet Union was finally able to survive unharmed.

There are those who are happy, there are those who want to cry, and now the most angry is Hitler, who never thought that Japan would attack the United States at this time, which is simply an unforgivable fault, Germany attacked the Soviet Union in order to quickly unify Europe, as for the role of Japan, Hitler just hoped to use Japan to contain China and the United States, and prevent these two countries from prematurely investing in Europe.

However, after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan, an ally, not only did not play a role in restraining the country, but on the contrary, dragged the United States directly into the war.

Although Germany and Japan were allies, they were obviously in the same bed, each with its own calculations, and the angry Hitler even wanted to break away from the alliance with Japan.

But this is just a thought, some things are irreversible, the United States has become inevitable to enter the war, and all Germany can do now is defeat the Soviet Union before the United States is fully mobilized, and then Germany will have a chance to live.

On the first night after the Japanese attack, all the political centers of the world were in an unprecedented state of hustle and bustle, and all the leaders were deploying the country's strategy.

The next day, U.S. President Roosevelt officially declared war on Japan, Britain immediately followed the United States to declare war on Japan, and three days later the arrogant Germany preemptively declared war on the United States. (To be continued.) )
