December 5, 1942, Washington, USA.

US Army Chief of Staff Admiral Marshall, Secretary of the Navy Knox were discussing with Roosevelt at the White House about the current complex situation.

"Minister Knox, hasn't the German fleet been found yet?" Roosevelt's hand in the wheelchair moved a few fingers imperceptibly, and the recent situation made the American president feel uneasy.

If the previous World War II allowed the United States to watch the fire from across the strait and constantly benefit from the fire, then now, the ten, or even dozens of pieces of information that the Germans or the possibility of a sneak attack on the United States are receiving in a day, makes him a little uncomfortable.

There has never been a moment when the rulers and people of the United States need to spend this kind of torment.

As the country's supreme leader, Roosevelt certainly knew that unless it was an all-out war, the possibility of a large-scale invasion of the United States homeland was almost zero. This is because, whether it is the Germans or themselves, the losses that can be caused by a sneak attack on the coastal cities of the United States seem to be very large, but in fact, the fact that the other side has come from thousands of miles or even thousands of miles away is not something to fear for the United States, and those losses are far from being unbearable for the United States.

However, once such an attack across the ocean caused real damage to the United States, Roosevelt could have foreseen how serious the panic and anger of the American people would be at that time.

Even at best, the ruling party could face stepping down.

This is because an attack on the U.S. mainland will be an unprecedentedly serious event.

"The British fleet has never found any trace of the Germans, and our carrier-based aircraft have expanded the search range from the sea to almost two thousand kilometers, again without finding anything.

Moreover, judging by radio listening, the radio waves over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are currently very quiet and completely devoid of any anomalies. However, it is possible that the enemy has adopted radio silence, or changed the radio code. ”

"The probable surnames of the Germans for possible military action are very high, but at the moment no trace of their fleet can be found. However, he himself just organized thousands of naval officers and men to visit and study in Tokyo just last week, and their main ships were also discovered one after another. Secretary of the Navy Noske frowned and said that he knew that everything seemed normal at the moment, but in fact, the information that Germany would take military action against the United States was flying back home like a flood of information, which was obviously the most abnormal.

In his opinion, the suspicion of the Germans was the greatest.

"Did you really not find out?" Roosevelt asked meaningfully, even if there really wasn't anything to discover, but it didn't prove that the other party didn't act.

Marshall: "Your Excellency, if the United States were attacked, it would probably be a good thing. The people will not abandon the political axe, but the people need the political axe to lead the United States to revenge. When the time comes, perhaps you only need to stand up and declare war on the shameful sneak attackers, then the responsibility of the ruling party will be minimized. ”

Roosevelt shook his head and sighed, "General Marshall, if they only attack one island, or the Philippines, or other maritime territories. If they attack the homeland, maybe you'll soon be able to report to the next president of the United States. As for themselves, they are still trying to secure a second negotiation. We were afraid that the British would lose India, but we were worried about losing Southeast Asia. ”

After being blockaded by the United States, a considerable part of the country's imports were affected, and even for a time, the contradictions between the United States and the United States in the Pacific suddenly came to the fore.

In order to resolve this contradiction, he has repeatedly tried to negotiate with the United States, hoping to restore US-Chinese relations to the level before the full-scale economic blockade. And the core request is that the political axe wants the United States to withdraw its troops from India.

Although this information, which was discovered by the political axe in mid-August, was still suppressed by the top level and not released to the public, it was no longer a secret at the top level of Germany.

About two divisions of US troops have secretly landed in India within a few months, and a large amount of supplies have been directly transported from the Americas to India.

If it is said that his economic negotiations are a cover, then the Americans are more willing to believe that he hopes to demand that the United States stop sending troops through negotiations.

Correspondingly, the US political axe demanded that unless Ben stopped military operations in Southeast Asia, the US political axe would certainly not stop such similar military actions, and did not rule out the possibility of participating in a war in the future.

The U.S. political axe hopes that through this warning, it will make the book rein in its military operations in Southeast Asia.

Nosk lowered his head, then met Roosevelt's gaze and reassured, "Your Excellency, rest assured, no matter what, even if we are attacked in the end, we will minimize the damage." The Atlantic Fleet is already in a state of imminent war, and the Pacific Fleet can also send more warships to the Atlantic at any time to support. Even the Chinese can have 15 aircraft carriers, or even twenty by the end of the year, and we, the United States, have an even greater war potential. ”

At present, the two major fleets of the United States, the Pacific Fleet, are in a state of second-class combat readiness, the frequency of training of the fleets has been greatly increased, and the vacations of naval officers and men have also been canceled, but they are not as tense as in the Atlantic, where war can break out at any time.

"Well, hopefully the situation won't get worse again......" Roosevelt said with a complicated expression.

At this time, Roosevelt did not know that when he woke up early tomorrow morning, he would receive a huge 'surprise'.

…… When the sky in the distance appeared white and the morning star in the night sky gradually faded, Yamamoto Fifty-six, who stood on the bridge and resisted the cold with a thick woolen military uniform, faced the east, and finally ushered in a round of Asahi who slowly jumped out of the horizon.

On December 6, the dawn of the planned battle plan finally came.

Originally, according to the plan, the date of this attack was not absolute, but what made Yamamoto Isoroku feel unusually smooth was that both the sea breeze and the weather were extremely conducive to the operation of the combined fleet.

According to the agreed time, the fleet's radio to communicate with the country was finally turned on, and the encrypted radio waves brought a telegram about Pearl Harbor to the Combined Fleet.

Everything is normal, and the main ships of the US Pacific Fleet have no signs of being transferred. Most of them are in the harbor, and except for the aircraft carrier fleet, which has been taking turns to leave the port for training in recent days, the rest of the ships are basically parked in the harbor.

Yamamoto could foresee that this sneak attack would cause heavy losses, because the Americans also had as many as six main aircraft carriers and three escort aircraft carriers, a total of nine aircraft carriers, accounting for half of all 25 aircraft carriers in the United States.

Today's world naval power is no longer the era of battleships a decade ago.

The fact that the Chinese have repeatedly relied on carrier-based aircraft to bully the British has made the whole world see the magnificent future of carrier-based aircraft, so the battleships have been transformed one after another, either to become aircraft carriers, or to become escort battleships, in short, naval warfare has gradually bid farewell to the era of artillery giant ships, ushered in the era of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft.

If it were not for the fear that the fleet would be too large and the target would be exposed, if it were not for the fact that the 32 large and small aircraft carriers in the country needed to deal with the war in Southeast Asia, and the Chinese were on guard, and they had already interfered and confused the Americans, Yamamoto Isoroku even hoped that at least more than half of the warships brought this time were aircraft carriers.

In this way, absolute superiority can be guaranteed.

However, even if there were only 11 aircraft carriers, Yamamoto 56 tried his best to choose ships with a large number of carrier-based aircraft, and these newly built aircraft carriers, which had a gratifying number of carriers, and the combined number of 11 carriers, also brought him great confidence.

After all, because of the huge number of aircraft carriers, the Americans reduced the deployment of land-based aircraft at Pearl Harbor, and in comparison, if it was a sneak attack, the 11 aircraft carriers they brought could take off, the Aichi Type 99 carrier-based critique aircraft (the name of the bomber in the military), and the Nakajima Type 97 horizontal/torpedo attack aircraft were all very advanced.

At this point, Yamamoto Isoroku even thanked the Chinese very much, it was precisely because of the repeated humiliation and failures from them that the empire's emphasis on the navy was re-raised, and after borrowing from the Chinese's fighter surname, the advanced Zero carrier-based fighter, as well as two other aircraft.

It can be said that after more than 9 years of development since the surrender in 33, Yamamoto Isoroku believes that the military strength of the empire has been comprehensively improved, and the level of the imperial navy has been able to overpower the US Pacific Fleet. If we did not take into account the Americans' Atlantic Fleet and their powerful shipbuilding capabilities, Yamamoto Isoroku even dared to lead the Yamamoto Navy in a full-scale decisive battle with the US Navy.

Although, he had to admit that if the fleet faced the Chinese, it might still suffer defeat. This is also the greatest shame and hope in his heart, hoping that one day, he can defeat the Chinese next to the imperial bed.

"Your Excellency, we are currently about an hour's carrier-based aircraft flight from Pearl Harbor, and the time for the scheduled attack is approaching, and the weather is very good, which is very suitable for the operation."

A staff officer of Rear Admiral Yamamoto said respectfully to Yamamoto Fifty-six, who was standing there looking at him in a trance.

"Then, let the myth of America wither in the hands of the Great Empire."

Yamamoto Fifty-six threw off the woolen military uniform on his shoulders, strode out of the cabin, and walked to the deck of the aircraft carrier, accompanied by a large number of senior admirals of the Yamamoto Navy.

In the cabin of the aircraft carrier, the pilots of the military who had already received the order had already written a suicide note, explained the relics, tied a thousand-needle belt symbolizing victory and peace to their heads, and were waiting to rush out of the cabin at any time.

According to the plan and drills, the order of take-off has already been arranged.

Standing on the deck, Yamamoto Fifty-six finally gave the order for the sneak attack to begin.

The next moment, on the 11 aircraft carriers, one by one, the pilots' passage hatches were opened, and one by one the pilots rushed out, frantically calling themselves, and frantically rushing towards the planes that had already been lined up on the deck.

After watching the first plane take off smoothly, Yamamoto Isoroku, who was tossed by the aircraft carrier in the waves, shouted: "Everything, for the sake of the empire's military fortune for a long time......"

Oahu, meanwhile, is a different story.

Admiral Kimmel, the supreme military commander of the Pearl Harbor Navy on Oahu, had a meeting with Vice Admiral Short, the supreme commander of the U.S. Army in Hawaii, last night, but he got up early in the morning.

After a while of the sea breeze, Admiral Kimmel boredly looked through the minutes of last night's meeting that the beautiful secretary had put together.

Judging from the intelligence sent from China from all quarters, the Germans or themselves will launch a sneak attack on the United States.

Admiral Kimmer, a veteran admiral, insisted from the outset that the security of American shipping lines would be most threatened if the Germans or himself took military action against the United States, while he did not believe that the American mainland would be attacked. Of course, he did not think that Pearl Harbor would be attacked, because the military power here was almost equal to that of the Pacific Fleet. And the distance between Germany and Ben is thousands of kilometers away.

Now, as the supreme commander of the Navy at Pearl Harbor, he has ordered the fleet to shrink back to Oahu, and in addition to strengthening training, he believes it is very necessary to maintain the Pacific Fleet's efficient and unified operation in the event of an incident.

After looking at the minutes for a while, Admiral Kimmel went to the officers' canteen for breakfast, and he had always maintained a good style and rarely asked for privileges.

Upon returning to his office, Admiral Kimmer received a call from subordinate intelligence and staff agencies.

"General, everything is normal, and it's a great day."

After receiving this news, Admiral Kimmel was in a good mood, and after inquiring about the fleet training plan and routine patrols, he prepared to drive to inspect the defenses of the entire Oahu. It was non-essential work, but he wanted to inspect it.

And what Admiral Kimmer didn't know was that just five minutes earlier, a mobile anti-aircraft radar station had just discovered the anomaly.

"Lokad, look, there's a situation."

Recruit Elliott had just become a radar soldier and was not experienced enough, but he finally knew that when there was a light point jumping on the radar scope, it meant that a flying object was approaching.

"Elliott, if you're wrong again, I'll call you back."

Lokad remembered that Elliott had repeatedly made a fuss before, and he was a little irritated when he had nothing to do, and he had just jumped on the mobile radar station and looked at him casually, and was startled.

"So many things? What is it? ”

The experienced Lokad, looking at the large number of light spots beating on the radar scope, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, he received training, once the light spot is found on the radar scope, then, he will subconsciously think that it is the enemy.

However, this is the United States, and it is the territory of the United States, so in fact, Lokad never spotted any enemy planes, but often counted the points of light from the radar, guessing how many planes flew to Pearl Harbor on Oahu, or how many planes flew away.

"Damn, maybe they're training."

Lokad was referring to the big guys at Pearl Harbor, the aircraft carriers of the aircraft carrier fleet, lately, they've been training from morning to night.

Time passed quickly, the two of them were radar soldiers after all, and when he saw that the plane was still approaching, Elliot couldn't help but say, "Lokad, we should probably ask the intelligence department for instructions." ”

After a long time, Lokkard finally picked up the phone and asked about the intelligence department about the aircraft carrier training.

"Yes, today Virgilia and the Essex are training. Yes, it's morning training. ”

Putting down the phone, Lokad said with relief, "Damn, they're always training, from morning till night. I don't want to be charged with lying about the military. ”

As a result, two brave and loyal American radar soldiers did not report the information found by the radar until the military plane flew over Pearl Harbor on Oahu.

At the same time, in Washington, Nomura, the ambassador to the United States, who was carrying a top-secret declaration of war telegram that had just been sent from China, was heading to the reception room of the White House.

At the same time, in the other direction of Hawaii, about 500 kilometers above the sea, a small four-ship formation had also begun to slow down.

On Cambridge, Ge Cunsheng, who was dressed in the uniform of a vice admiral, coincidentally and coincidentally, was also looking in the direction of Hawaii in the distance, and behind him was Rear Admiral Jiang Ming, the captain of the aircraft carrier Da Chu.

"What a beautiful statement, the depths of the Pacific Ocean, it turned out to be so beautiful."

Looking at the rising sun that had just jumped out of the horizon, Ge Cunsheng seemed to see a round of great hope, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, great hope.

He was very clear about the original intention of the top management in formulating the battle plan this time, that is, to bury the Americans' Pacific Fleet to the greatest extent possible, and of course, it also included blowing up the Americans' oil storage depot of up to 5 million barrels, as well as the shipbuilding and repair yard at Pearl Harbor.

The greatest success is achieved if the plan is executed flawlessly.

Then, the Americans will have an unprecedented fierce battle with Yue himself in the Pacific region, and they will also be caught in the middle of the attack of the Germans and himself.

It is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not to lead the troubles to the east, but to lead them not to themselves, but to the other side of the story, so as to eliminate the naval strength of the US military and prevent the excessive expansion of the US army.

"The rise of a nation is always tortuous, but we have been working hard to do it, and we have always kept giving us hope." Beside him, Rear Admiral Jiang Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as an old man in the southwest period, he can also be regarded as one of the old men of the navy of the Republic. Along the way, he has seen the arduous development of the Republic and the magnificent world situation.

If the whole world plays a game of chess, then China's situation must be taken step by step, otherwise, it may become the price of the rise of other nations.

"Jiang Ming, it is not easy for our navy to get to today, and it is not easy for our nation to get to today, perhaps from today onwards, it will be the opening battle of the future world situation."

Ge Cunsheng knew that no matter what the outcome of the Pearl Harbor sneak attack was, as long as China did not reveal its identity as a sneak attack, then the United States would immediately join the Allies and participate in the battle against the Axis powers.

No country can tolerate such a colossal failure. And once the United States enters the war, it will be the real high-tide overture to the world war.

The two of them said some more words, but neither of them wanted to leave, as if they were waiting for something.

"Commander Ge, I just received the information, I have taken action against Pearl Harbor according to the original plan, and at 7:03 am Hanjing time, that is, five minutes ago, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft has departed."

Finally, the news that had been waiting for a long time came, and an operational staff officer reported the latest situation to the two generals.

"Let's go, Jiang Ming, let's go down and send off the children."

Ge Cunsheng didn't know how dangerous this trip would be, but he knew that no matter what, a new day had come.

Thousands of kilometers away in Hanjing, Zhang Shusheng even carried out personal training an hour in advance, and then came to the office early, and asked Mao Yun to call him for anything first, then drilled into the underground scientific research center and turned on the set of 'compound eye' monitoring equipment.

"Chairman of the National People's Committee, I said that my plan to attack Pearl Harbor has already begun, and just now, according to the information we have obtained, the first wave of planes has already taken off. Yamamoto Isoroku has already reported to the country, and the plan has begun to be implemented. ”

Just ten minutes ago, he received a call from Luo Feng, about the information that Yue Ben had begun to act, the intelligence was very accurate, it was the intelligence transmitted back by the senior agents of the Special Intelligence Department who were lurking inside Yu Ben, and this time was minus the intelligence turnover time. To be precise, I started the operation about 20 minutes ago.

"After this war, you should pay attention to collecting the results of this operation and the casualties of the army, so that you can do post-war analysis at that time." Zhang Shusheng is not particularly clear about his combat effectiveness, and even the United States and China today, and even the world's naval powers, are much stronger than this period in his previous life.

Moreover, the Pearl Harbor sneak attack is indeed full of many variables.

In the previous life, the US aircraft carrier was not in the port, and it seemed that it had escaped, but in fact it also weakened the resistance that the Japanese army might encounter. And the whole of Pearl Harbor, originally had about 70 ships and more than 400 aircraft in history, but now, this number is much larger.

Nine aircraft carriers, a total of nearly 100 ships, most of the battleships and cruisers were also converted into anti-submarine and anti-aircraft focused ships. This is all the result of the butterfly effect caused by Zhang Shusheng, who fanned his wings on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the United States on the east coast also caused a storm. The structure of the U.S. Navy, like the one himself, has changed from being dominated by battleships in the past to being dominated by aircraft carriers today.

The so-called variable, if Yamamoto Isoroku's luck is not as good as in his previous life, or even if he is particularly unlucky, then not to mention whether he can perfectly raid Pearl Harbor, then as many as nine US aircraft carriers may also become a fish that slips through the net, or even a powerful force to counterattack the Japanese army.

Although the weapons of the Yue army are very advanced, and fighters such as the Zero are also stronger than those of the United States, Zhang Shusheng is still not at ease, so he set up a task force to 'help' it.

Compared with the aircraft carriers of the United States and the two countries, China's two aircraft carriers seem to be small in number, but in fact, the combat capability of these more than 100 aircraft is almost equal to twice that of the United States.

In other words, China's participation in the sneak attack will even become a bargaining chip to change the final balance of Pearl Harbor and crush the Americans.

"Looks like it's about to start."

On the 3D image, both images are facing the direction of the ocean, and two HJ-3 carrier-based fighters equipped with compound lenses are lined up very far in front of the Da Chu, and they are expected to be the first wave of fighters to take off. couldn't go to the front line in person, but Zhang Shusheng looked forward to the compound eye battlefield monitoring system to bring him a comprehensive visual enjoyment.

The image is very clear, the sea, the warship, the southern sky, and even the Xuyue are extremely clear. Zhang Shusheng even saw Ge Yunsheng and Jiang Ming standing on the deck, and the two should be preparing to bid farewell to the combat plane.

On the 3D image, from the perspective of Songzhou's fighter, the pilot was already sitting on the plane in front of him, looking like he was in a state of battle.

With the final order, the carrier-based aircraft began to start, and after the front plane took off, Zhang Shusheng finally felt that the image was shaking, and the fighter plane piloted by Song Zhou also began to take off.

Zhang Shusheng was enjoying the fragrant tea, while staring closely at the 3D image, and even the call from Deng Haoqian about the start of the 'Yellow Sparrow' project was only briefly replied.

"Hopefully it's going to be a great show. Cicadas, praying mantises and yellow finches, a wonderful fire festival that people are looking forward to. ”
