Chapter 61: Another Deal with Yamamoto

South Pacific, in the waters near Bougainville Island, at an altitude of 40,000 meters, inside the aircraft. Wang Fan is discussing with Yadi the gains and losses of this Pacific Campaign.

"Well done little devil! A little stronger than I thought! Wang Fan said.

"Well, I thought you would send shè anti-ship missiles?" Yadea interface said (in order to issue shè anti-ship missiles, Wang Fan asked Yadea to use a maintenance robot to make minor modifications to the aircraft, in the middle of the four side secondary guns, a compartment door that can be opened and closed, and a telescopic device is placed inside, which can stretch out the hatch and send shè anti-ship missiles).

"It was originally planned, if the little devils don't give their strength, or the Stars and Stripes don't give their strength, I will use the anti-ship guide to kill one or two Woko or the aircraft carriers of the Stars and Stripes Republic Navy." Wang Fan explained.

"Oh? So are you satisfied with the results now? Yadi asked: "Although the Japanese have lost 4 aircraft carriers, they have exchanged for 7 aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic, which is too worth it in terms of combat performance!" Now there are only two ships in the hands of the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes, plus one heavy aircraft carrier of the Atlantic Fleet, even if it is equipped with a light aircraft carrier and an escort carrier, it is not the opponent of the remaining 6 heavy aircraft carriers in the hands of the United Fleet. ”

"If you simply fight for the number of aircraft carriers, the Japanese have an absolute advantage now, but, Yadi, you haven't taken another point into account?" Wang Fan said.

"Oh? Which point? ”

"Different from the operation of the space fleet you described, there is an important key point in the ocean battle, the island! It can also be understood as an unsinkable aircraft carrier!! Wang Fan then explained.

"An unsinkable aircraft carrier?" Yadi wondered.

"Yes, the Star-Spangled Banner also has Midway Island, and the Hawaiian Islands, especially Hawaii, which is the Unsinkable Carrier of the Star-Spangled Banner in the Pacific Ocean!" Wang Fan looked at the Hawaiian island on the screen of the command platform and said.

"But the Hawaiian Islands can't be moved, and the combined fleet of the Wokos can completely bypass it!" Yadi still doesn't quite understand, after all, in space wars, meteorites, planets, etc., have a much smaller impact on space warships.

"The key is supply, I looked at the historical materials of the Pacific War in World War II, and found that the ability to transport supplies and transport soldiers is the main factor that restricts the Combined Fleet from attacking the mainland of the Stars and Stripes Republic, taking Hawaii as an example, even if Yamamoto Fifty-Six bypasses it, but Hawaii's land-based aircraft are enough to cover a considerable area of the ocean, and if the Combined Fleet detours, it will have to make a long detour, to the north, there is also the defensive coverage of Midway, and further north it is too far, and there is little strategic value in detouring through Canada and Alaska, If you go around in a big circle and attack the western cities of the Stars and Stripes Republic, then such a long detour route is very dangerous, and the supplies can easily be cut off by the enemy, and the other can easily cause the Combined Fleet to attack the western cities of the Stars and Stripes Republic, and immediately be blocked and annihilated by the western defense land-based fighters and the Pacific Fleet from Hawaii! ”

"Well, I understand what you mean, so how about a detour to the south?" Yadi continued.

"Although the Japanese have occupied many islands in the south, the largest islands such as New Zealand and Australia have always been in the hands of the Stars and Stripes Republic, and in my opinion, occupying those small islands scattered all over the country can only cause some trouble to the Stars and Stripes Republic in terms of defense, and it will not play much offensive role at all." Wang Fan pointed his finger in the direction of Rabaul and Australia, and explained: "Therefore, if you want to make the Japanese form a real threat to the Star-Spangled Banner, going south is just a helpless alternative, and the most labor-saving and lethal is to take Hawaii!" ”

"Capture Hawaii?" Yadi muttered and repeated; "It seems that Yamamoto Fifty-six has never had this idea in history, even if the surprise attack on Hawaii is successful, it is only taking advantage of the weakness of the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic to launch a campaign aimed at occupying Midway and the like, and taking Hawaii is too difficult for the power in the hands of the Waikos!"

"In the original history, if there was no us, it would have been absolutely difficult to do it with the Japanese Kou's own manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and even if they did, they would not have been able to hold it. But with our influence, it's not hard to achieve, and I envision the following benefits for the Japanese to take Hawaii. Wang Fan snapped his fingers and said: "First, Hawaii is the territory of the Stars and Stripes Republic, unlike those islands that are uninhabited, once it is captured, the shock to the Stars and Stripes Republic must be great, forced by the pressure of public opinion, Roosevelt must send troops to recover, so that the Stars and Stripes Republic and Britain occupied Sicily with the United Kingdom, which was originally scheduled to begin in July and August this year, and the campaign to force Italy to surrender may be canceled, and the pressure on Germany and Italy will be less, and the duration of the Stars and Stripes will be longer, and the extension of World War II, There will be more time left for the development of the Yanhuang Continent. Second, the little devils need to draw enough land forces to occupy Hawaii, with the strength of Hawaii's defense, it is impossible to capture the army without 50,000 armed to the teeth, so the little devils need to transfer troops, where to transfer troops, it is likely to be the Yanhuang Dispatch Army and the Guan Dong Army, after all, the strength of the Southern Army of the Japanese Invaders is too small, which can reduce the difficulty of the Yanhuang counterattack in disguise, third, take 10,000 steps back, even if the little devils do not give strength, they cannot occupy the entire territory of Hawaii, Then I can also turn Hawaii into a little devil and the 'Verdun meat grinder' of World War II in the Stars and Stripes Republic, consuming a large number of troops and war potential on both sides, no matter how you look at it! ”

"What you said is not bad, look at it this way, if the combined fleet of the Japanese invaders left 6 heavy aircraft carriers for the capture of Hawaii, it is just enough, and it must be a surprise attack, otherwise it is difficult to say that it will take air supremacy!"

"I really can't do it, I'll help them appropriately and let half of the Stars and Stripes Republic Air Force planes stationed in Hawaii die on the ground." Wang Fan was silent for a few seconds, and then said.

"Well, that's okay, by the way, last time you ordered three aircraft carriers, 100 destroyers and 200 transports, how did you think about it?" Yadi asked after suddenly remembering.

"The matter of the aircraft carrier hangs them first, and if you give it to them now, then the strength of the 9 heavy aircraft carriers is too leading, I am really afraid that the Stars and Stripes Republic will be confused, and I am willing to negotiate peace, then it will be troublesome, there is no problem with the destroyer, anyway, there is no naval consideration there in Yanhuang for the time being, but Yadi, after you copy, you need to install a signal transmitter on the destroyer, so that after the Yanhuang Navy gets up, it will be found and destroyed in the future." Wang Fan said.

"No problem, this is easy! And what about transport ships? ”

"This can't be given, the little devil has these transport ships, I don't know how many good things will be transported from the Yanhuang Continent!" Speaking of this, Wang Fan said in a firm tone.

"So how to solve the problem of fleet supply mentioned earlier?" Yadi asked suspiciously.

"This is simple, let's put some supply ships full of weapons and ammunition in the designated sea area, and tell the little devil Yamamoto to just go and receive it, so that they only need to solve the food and other supplies, and the difficulty and quantity of supplies will be greatly reduced, and they will not delay the attack on Hawaii."

"Understood, so your plan is basically formed, can you start now?" Yadi, who knew Wang Fan's overall plan, asked.

"Of course, strike while the iron is hot, and while the little devil is now in the excitement of luring Jiān to victory, pour him a stream of oil! Yadea, departure, the Marshall Islands base of the little devils. ”

"Understood, let's go!!"

In the South Pacific, in the Marshall Islands, the temporary command of the Combined Fleet of Japanese Invaders, at this time the entire command was plunged into a sea of unprecedented happiness and joy. After learning of the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic, the base camp immediately broadcast to the whole country, and at once swept away the low morale of King Hengxian of Heyang Palace who was killed by Yan Huang, and the whole country was jubilant, and the Emperor of the Japanese Invaders also sent a congratulatory telegram to congratulate Yamamoto Isoroku on reproducing the glory of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

At night, perhaps too excited, Yamamoto didn't feel a little sleepy, he came to the headquarters, turned on the lights, looked at the map of the South Pacific, and pondered the next route of the combined fleet of Japanese pirates. Psychologically speaking, at this time, Yamamoto Fifty-six was more inclined to start peace talks with the Stars and Stripes Republic now, but he also knew that when the war came to this point, it was not possible to negotiate peace if he wanted to make peace, and if the Stars and Stripes Republic stumbled on the footsteps of the Combined Fleet through the peace talks, it only took 4 months to half a year to delay the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic to recover, so that the good situation that the Stars and Stripes War had worked so hard to gain would be in vain. So the pragmatic Yamamoto is carefully considering the next line of operations of the Combined Fleet.

"Admiral Yamamoto, congratulations on the complete success of this battle of luring jiān!" Wang Fan, who was dressed in the appearance of Emperor Meiji, appeared again.

Suddenly hearing the voice, he stretched out his hand to Yamamoto, who was swordsman, and after seeing the face of the person who came, he couldn't help but relax, and said while bowing: "It turned out to be Your Excellency, thank you for your support, if it were not for the five "Xianghe" class aircraft carriers provided by Your Excellency, it would be difficult for our army to win!" Thank you so much!! ”

"Don't be so polite, this is supposed to be a deal, of course, I also made a move for the sake of Meiji's kid's face." Wang Fan ignored Yamamoto's protest against the title of "Meiji boy", and said to himself.

"Hi!! In any case, the five "Xianghe"-class aircraft carriers are not something that can be bought if you want to, and I am very grateful to Your Excellency! I wonder if you are here to trade the warships we ordered last time? Yamamoto, who knew which was more important, automatically ignored Wang Fan's disrespect for Meiji and continued to ask.

"Well, it's not either, those three aircraft carriers will have to wait a little longer to be completed, but 100 destroyers are no longer a problem! You can trade at any time! Wang Fan said.

"Great, thank you, what about the 200 transports?" Yamamoto, who heard that there was no problem with the destroyer, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then asked about the transport.

"I can only say I'm sorry, the other party only produces warships, and there is a lack of interest in civilian transport ships, and the output is very small, so it can't be traded." Wang Fan, who had already thought of his rhetoric, said unhurriedly.

"That's it, it's a pity!"

"Okay, Yamamoto, in addition to wanting to trade destroyers this time, there is one more thing I want to ask, after the victory of the Battle of Lure Jiān, the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic has been lost, and it can only be on the defensive at present, what are you going to do next to make full use of this favorable opportunity?" Wang Fan waved his hand and interrupted Yamamoto to ask.

"What's next? Haven't thought about it yet! Yamamoto Fifty-six, who subconsciously regarded Wang Fan as the manifestation of Emperor Meiji, instinctively put himself in the corner of the courtier, and did not have any patience for Wang Fan's interruption, and said in passing.

"Don't have a clue?" Wang Fan stared at Yamamoto Fifty-six's eyes and asked word by word.

"Well, the initial idea is to use this half year to recapture Guadalcanal and New Guinea islands, and consolidate the Empire's defense line in the South Pacific to deal with another attack by the Stars and Stripes Republic?" Feeling Wang Fan's gaze, Yamamoto unconsciously said what he wanted to do.

"Is that all? Don't forget that offense is the best defense, haven't you ever thought about taking this place? Wang Fan said as he pointed his finger to the side of the map, the location of the Hawaiian islands.

"Hawaii?" Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency! With the current strength of the Combined Fleet, the success rate is too low! ”

"Why?" Wang Fan asked.

"Although the Imperial Combined Fleet now has an advantage in the number of aircraft carriers, it is only manifested in naval warfare, Hawaii has a large number of airfields built by the Stars and Stripes Republic, various types of batteries built in the ports, and the Stars and Stripes Republic has a large number of troops and residents stationed on them, so it needs to project a large number of ground troops to succeed! Occupying it is too great a test for the empire, difficult! It's so hard!! ”

"Oh! What if you could get the support of 3 additional Yamato-class battleships, 3 Nagato-class battleships, and supply ships along the way that would provide enough to equip the weapons and ammunition of 5 army divisions, plus a total of 200 new 'Super Zero' fighters that are 50% more effective than Zero? "Wang Fan is like a demon with two horns on his head and a tail on his buttocks, following the temptation.

PS: Super Zero fighter, a new Zero fighter modified by Wang Fan asked Yadea to replace it with a new engine to provide more powerful power, and at the same time increase the protective armor of key parts of the aircraft, and turn the 7.7mm machine gun into a 12.7mm machine gun.
