"We have to fight back immediately to wash away our shame!" Admiral King, commander-in-chief of the US Navy, said eagerly.

Although Nimitz has already applied for resignation with this black cauldron on his back, this time the US Navy has become a joke of various countries, and if it wants to wash away the shame, it can only be a more intense retaliation with a tooth for a tooth.

"With our current strength in the Pacific, I'm afraid we won't be able to retake Hawaii! It's not the perfect time to reclaim Hawaii! Nimitz whispered.

He is now back in Washington to be investigated into the Hawaii incident, but as a veteran commander of the Pacific Fleet, he has a big say in the future of Hawaii.

Although he applied for resignation, for a while, Washington could not find anyone to command the Pacific Fleet to surpass Nimitz.

The less senior ones could not command the Pacific Fleet's fierce generals, and most of them were Nimitz's descendants.

And those who are more senior than Nimitz are either old or do not know as well as Nimitz about the Pacific Ocean and the state of the Pacific Fleet.

The throne of commander of the Pacific Fleet is obviously not so easy to do, and the few before Nimitz did not die well, and they were planted early.

Although the U.S. Pacific Fleet was established in '07, it was merged and merged, but the current situation was in 40 years, and it was separated from the U.S. fleet in order to deal with the Japanese.

It was only in 41 that under Roosevelt's orders, the Pacific Fleet moved to Pearl Harbor.

This was obviously to dig a hole for the Japanese, but the first commander at the time, James Richardson, was obviously reluctant to directly oppose exposing the fleet to the Japanese attack due to political factors, so he was withdrawn by Roosevelt, and it was obvious that Roosevelt would not push him up again at this time.

And Kimmel was promoted to admiral as quickly as a plane, and became the scapegoat for this unfortunate person, and he could not replace Nimitz in terms of ability or seniority and prestige.

At a time when various advanced and backward ideas of the American navy, such as battleships and aircraft carriers, were clashing, Roosevelt swept away the decay within the navy through a Pearl Harbor, unified the thinking, and determined the mainstream status of Leahy, Ernest King, Nimitz, and others in the navy.

Nimitz even formed a supreme power within the Pacific Fleet. Many new generation generals such as Spruance, Halsey, Turner, and Smith were brought up by him. Obviously, it is not said that it can be withdrawn.

At least no one can integrate everything in the Pacific Fleet in a short period of time, and at this time, the situation in the Pacific Ocean does not have so much time to adjust, and even Roosevelt does not dare to guarantee that the person who succeeds Nimitz will do better than Nimitz.

But pressure from the outside world required Washington to find enough people to take charge of the fall of Hawaii, and Nimitz could no longer sit in the post of commander-in-chief.

So, Ernest King, who can shave his beard with a flamethrower, is the almighty naval god. In the face of danger, he was ordered to take up the post of commander of the Pacific Fleet, but in fact, more operations were still unwilling Nimitz.

After all, although Ernest King was as interested in the Pacific theater of operations, the Atlantic theater in which he had served at this time had become a battlefield for the U.S. Navy because of the great losses of the British, and as the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy, he was not suitable for favoritism too much.

"I beg permission to use my status as a Navy veteran. Continue to participate in naval battles in the Pacific, wash away my shame with meritorious deeds, and do not spend the rest of my life with regrets! At this time, although Nimitz did not directly seek official positions like later generations, he was unwilling to give up and used all his resources to continue to fight.

Apparently he was halfway there, staying in the Pacific Fleet in the role of a staff adviser or something. Of course, this is a sensitive time. He stayed in Washington more often as a consultant.

"But the transport planes of the Chinese people are constantly transporting soldiers to Hawaii. After a long time, I am afraid that we will not be able to recover Hawaii again! Marshall interjected at this time.

Even if he had a good relationship with Nimitz. But when he heard that Nimitz wanted to delay the recovery of Hawaii, he couldn't help but retort.

As he said, the number of Chinese troops on the island of Hawaii is constantly increasing, and if the Chinese people carry out another large-scale airborne operation like Australia, so that the Hawaiian Islands are covered with Chinese troops, I am afraid that the US Army will suffer heavy losses when it lands and fights in the future.

In general, landing operations like this are the business of the Marine Corps. But if China completely gains a foothold in Hawaii, I am afraid that the Marine Corps alone will not be able to solve the problem, and the US Army will also be involved. And even if the Marines were the main offensive force, Marshall did not want them to lose too much.

After the United States entered the war, the Marine Corps, which had been expanded 20 times, was being proposed by many to be incorporated into the Army. The powerful army did not give up the struggle for power in this land army, and Marshall, as the chief of the army's general staff, naturally needed to make profits for his group.

Regardless of which team comes to attack Hawaii, it will not be easy. It is easy to deal with it if it can take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Chinese army and immediately launch a counterattack.

"We don't have enough aircraft carriers, we don't have enough fighters, and our weapons are far behind the Chinese." Nimitz explained.

The crowd was silent for a moment.

After the Battle of Hawaii, more and more Americans discovered that the performance of Chinese weapons, whether on land, in the air and at sea, was significantly superior to that of the Americans.

On land, the Chinese tank corps has changed the color of the U.S. Army fighting in North Africa and the Middle East, and neither Sheldon nor Pershing can stop the rhino and grizzly bear from wreaking havoc on the T-55;

The J-5 of Huaxia Army Aviation and the Kraken of Hainan Airlines even asked every American pilot who went on a mission to pray first and not to encounter it;

Even the navy, which the Americans are proud of, is inferior to the battleships, the largest Montana class in the United States, and even the Zhenyuan class may not have been beaten, and if it is compared to the aircraft carriers, whether it is the Midway class or the second-class Red Alert aircraft carrier, it has overwhelmed the Essex class, the main aircraft carrier of the Americans, and the only advantage is the number.

Now if the Americans want to achieve a victory over China, they can only rely on numbers.

This is precisely what the Americans cannot accept.

"We can't send our children to die for nothing!" Roosevelt also had to stand up, and after severely criticizing the intelligence department, he began to look for the stubble of the US military's weapons and equipment.

As a matter of fact, Roosevelt already knew about the backwardness of the performance of US weapons, but a large number of newly developed and produced weapons were about to be withdrawn before they could recover their capital, which undoubtedly aroused the opposition of many arms predators.

These weapons were enough to equip European allies such as Soviet Russia and the British, and to deal with the Germans. As for the advanced equipment of the Chinese people, no one thinks that they can produce it themselves, and the disadvantage in quantity and cost makes many people think that Huaxia is not too threatening. This also made Roosevelt unable to do anything about it, and at most to promote rapid progress in weapon design.

It was only after the Battle of Hawaii that the Americans, who were beaten to the garden of the front gate, shouted for a large-scale change of equipment.

In fact, at this time, even the Germans and the British had advanced weapons such as jet planes, and the old equipment of the American arms predators also regained their capital, and it was enough to stop. Anyway, by changing equipment, and then compromising from it, it is just another big deal. So this time, without Roosevelt, the new weapon designs of the post-military traffickers have been released, just waiting for the final equipment.

There are huge interests at stake, and it will take time to sort things out under the disputes and compromises of all forces.

Even the counterattack plan on the Hawaiian front had to give way.

It is difficult for these high-level Washington executives, including Roosevelt, to suppress everything at once.

"Huaxia's army is very strong?" After a moment of silence, Admiral Kim asked in a deep voice, but his eyes were aimed at Arnold, the commander of the Army Aviation.

He naturally knew that during this period of time, Huaxia's air fighters continued to support Hawaii, coupled with the advanced performance of Huaxia's jet fighters, and after Hawaii had an unsinkable aircraft carrier, Huaxia's air strength in the surrounding areas had greatly increased, and it was no longer something that HNA could deal with at this time.

HNA needs time to recover, and the US Army is also threatening Hawaii at this time.

If the Army and the Navy cooperate in everything, they may be able to suppress China's air power in Hawaii and regain air supremacy.

Otherwise, in the absence of air supremacy, the safety of the navy's warships cannot even be guaranteed, and landing operations are even more extravagant.

To be honest, the U.S. Navy warships that gradually gathered near the Hawaiian Islands definitely far surpassed the Chinese Hawaiian Navy fleet that had retreated, and it was easy to defeat the Chinese Hawaii, including the three aircraft carriers.

But with the addition of a Huaxia Army Airlines to control Hawaii, everything changed.

Nimitz's reinforcement fleet suffered a painful lesson from the Huaxia Army Airlines, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

China's army aviation became the biggest obstacle to the recovery of Hawaii. Admiral Kim looked at Arnold and hoped that the U.S. Army would also come forward.

Arnold also understood that although the navy and the army were constantly at odds, they needed to cooperate at this time. Otherwise, when the Chinese people gain a firm foothold in Hawaii and use Hawaii as a springboard, I am afraid that the bombing of the US mainland will be more frequent.

"We can do a raid and bomb their airfield first!" Arnold said, "It takes enough cooperation! ”

The army aviation had already cooperated with Nimitz to attack once, but the army aviation, which had lost more than 60 strategic bombers at once, quickly understood that there were fewer fighters going there, and it could only be regarded as delivering food. Success can only be ensured through large-scale, comprehensive action.

"Good!" Roosevelt finally nodded in agreement. (To be continued.) )
