The Abemama Atoll, the harbor where the Maritime Resistance Army anchored, is located about 800 kilometers south of the Marshalls.

This area is not only outside the air defense ring of Kwajalein Atoll, but also far from Truk Island, the center of the Japanese Navy. It is a relatively safe area for refueling and refilling.

In this vast sea area, the Maritime Resistance Force originally had an excellent supply site, and it was also its own territory - Nauru Island. However, Li Guang affirmed that the Japanese devils absolutely knew that Nauru Island belonged to the Maritime Resistance Army, and the reason why they did not capture it was because the devils just didn't want to startle the snakes.

Now Nauru Island has become an empty desert island, more than 2,000 miners and two pirates have been evacuated from there, and will be sent to Australia as refugees by the Navy to be handed over to Yuan Zi for mining.

As soon as the Japanese army began to attack Pearl Harbor, the sound of explosions would immediately sound on the island of Nauru, and Li Guang would not leave the docks and mining equipment to the little devils.

The Japanese Navy's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States was not a single operation, but a super-large strategic plan. Not only Southeast Asia, but also a series of islands in the Pacific Ocean are targeted.

The two closest places to the Naval Resistance Fleet: the Marshall Islands, the Combined Fleet's Fourth Fleet is ready to attack Wake Island. At Truk, the main forces of the Japanese Fourth Fleet were ready to attack Guam.

In this gamble, Japan has almost used the military power of the navy to the extreme, and its ambitions have been undoubtedly leaked.

What Li Guang did not know was that, unlike in history, the Japanese Navy also sent a submarine force and was preparing to launch an attack on Tang Harbor.

Li Guang is ready for everything, but he still needs to wait patiently and wait for the best time to attack.

By this time, the officers of the Naval Resistance Army still did not understand why the official name of the operation was "Gift-giving". It's easy to understand that "gift-giving" is a bit nonsensical, who to give a gift to?

The answer will soon be revealed.

December 8th. Early in the morning, 7:55 a.m. Japanese naval planes dropped the first bomb on Pearl Harbor, and only three minutes later Li Guang received the news. This is the news from two ocean-going submarines responsible for reconnaissance of Pearl Harbor intelligence, the USS Fox.

The Pacific War broke out. Since then, the Japanese devils have embarked on a road of no return, and the powerful United States has finally been pulled into the whirlpool of world war, and the United States' participation in the war is a foregone conclusion.

For this operation, Li Guang arranged several submarines at Pearl Harbor, Wake Island, and Kwajalein Atoll as a transit for intelligence. The deployment of this kind of relay intelligence enables the Naval Resistance Force to grasp the battle situation at any time, and plays a vital role in the next action deployment of the Naval Resistance Force.

Kwajalein Atoll.

At 10:30 a.m., just after the first wave of Japanese bombing on Hawaii ended, 36 Japanese Chitose Air Force Type 96 and Type 1 land attack planes that had taken off from Kwajalein Atoll braved the heavy rain and swooped down in several echelons toward Wake Island.

The little devil was very savage, and the quality of the Japanese air force could be described as superb, and he even took off in the rain. Soon, several Japanese warships and supply ships sailed out of Kwajalein Atoll.

In this regard, two submarine submarines of the Maritime Resistance Army, which had been hidden in Kwajalein Atoll for a long time, were also immediately discovered.

Wake Island.

At 10 o'clock, the American defenders had received the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. On the one hand, the vigilance was raised, and four "Wildcat" fighters were urgently lifted into the air to conduct vigilance. But just as the Japanese approached Wake Island, a storm struck, giving the Japanese the best cover. The four Wildcat fighters knew nothing about the Japanese aircraft, and the Japanese pilots, who were very experienced, skillfully approached the target under the cover of thick storm clouds.

12 fighters of the 1st echelon of the Japanese army dropped bombs from an altitude of 2,000 meters and bombed 8 "Wildcat" fighters that were refueling, as a result, 4 were bombed, 3 were hit and burned, and 1 was damaged. The first wave of strikes alone destroyed eight US fighters, and if it weren't for the fact that four fighters had taken off in advance for reconnaissance, it would have been difficult to save even one.

As with Pearl Harbor, the air raids came so suddenly that in the first 10 minutes, the garrison did not even have time to use anti-aircraft guns. Then, the second and third echelons bombed and strafed various military installations and dormitory barracks.

In less than half an hour, 25 servicemen were killed, more than 60 American migrant workers were killed, grain depots were destroyed, fresh water was polluted, and smoke billowed from the island.

Abemama Atoll, 2 p.m. on Dec. 8.

Li Guang looked at the telegram in his hand, but still stood still. This is still not the best time for the Naval Resistance Army to attack, you must know that at this time, the vigilance of the devils is the strictest. The little devils are not fools, they are also worried about being attacked by sneak attacks on the Americans.

As long as the main fleet did not send telegrams, Li Guang was not very worried that the Japanese army would find out. The submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army on Wake Island sent a report, and the Japanese devils could not tell whether it was the Americans who sent the report or the Maritime Resistance Army.

And in Kwajalein Atoll, it is difficult for the Maritime Resistance Army to detect the devil's report, because the submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army uses the Japanese military password - (obtained from the last capture of the Japanese submarine.) And it's deliberately intermittent, as if it's a test machine.

The Americans were not slow to transmit information, and the intelligence of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor had already reached the United States. The speed at which the Naval Resistance Army delivered the news was also fast, and it was not yet noon (the middle of the night in the United States), and Professor Yuan Ye, who was in the United States, had already received a telegram.

He is waiting for news at the Chinese Embassy in the United States at the moment.

Poor Haitang Kingdom, by this time, also had only one office, not an embassy. Much of the diplomatic dealings with the United States are channeled through the Chinese Embassy.

From the moment he received the information, before the U.S. government could react, Professor Yuan Ye held a press conference -- vigorously condemning Japan's contemptuous behavior, and clearly indicating that Haitang would stand with the American people. And officially declared war on Japan, declared war on the Axis powers, and especially pointed out the declaration of war on Vichy France--- Germany's lackeys (which has a bit of ulterior motives).

Since it is a gift-giving operation, publicity is essential. Although Professor Yuan did not know why Li Guang told him to stay in the embassy on this day and pay attention to the telegram at all times, after receiving the information about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he knew very well how to operate.

The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was successful. Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo smiled, and Japan was jubilant.

When the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor reached Hitler's ears, Hitler was shocked and furious, and those present were stunned.

Hitler had always tried to avoid war with the United States, believing that Germany would conquer Europe, then destroy the Soviet Union, and then turn back and clean up Britain. This option is entirely feasible, but there is one premise - the United States does not intervene.

But all this was ruined by the brainless little Japan. Pearl Harbor gave the United States an excellent excuse, and America's entry into the war was already a foregone conclusion. Hitler had a neurotic sensitivity to the situation of the world war, unlike the narrow-minded and short-sighted Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. Japan ignored the overall war power of the United States. Hitler knew very well that this move of the Japanese army undoubtedly sounded the death knell for Japan's complete destruction, and at the same time, it also immediately shattered the dream of the Third Reich that he had created.

When Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini heard the news, his first words were: "It's over." "The Italian army was incompetent, but Mussolini was not entirely stupid, and he could see it clearly.

When the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor reached Chairman Chiang's ears, Chairman Chiang clapped his palms and laughed.

The news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor reached the ears of Churchill, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, and Churchill almost cried. He immediately left all his affairs behind, immediately arranged for a warship, and went to the United States to meet President Roosevelt.

Churchill was afraid, very afraid that President Roosevelt would change his strategic plan of Europe first and then Asia. Churchill worked hard to send one sycophant after another to the Americans, and finally came up with an "aid bill." He was worried that the Americans would reduce their aid to Britain in order to deal with little Japan. You must know that Britain has spent all the money in the government's pocket, and it can only continue the war by relying on the Americans to maintain it. As soon as the Americans shifted their strategic direction to Asia, then Churchill was really going to cry.

Premier Yuan Ye is in the United States, and his purpose is not only to continue to ask for support from the United States. Another important purpose, which was contrary to Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, was to try to reverse the American strategic plan of putting Europe first and then Asia. Although it is unlikely and there are many difficulties in the middle, Premier Yuan Ye still has to try his best to strive for a little benefit for China and a little benefit for Haitang State.

Reversing the US strategy is the greatest interest of the Haitang Kingdom and China, and Li Guang has arranged many follow-up moves, all for this goal. Li Guang consciously had the taste of a strategist.

After confirming the outbreak of Pearl Harbor, he began to work towards the next goal.

Even for quite a long time, many of the military operations of the Naval Resistance Force were aimed at this. Professor Li Guang and Professor Yuan Ye have analyzed many times how to be most beneficial to China and Haitang if the United States enters the war. In the end, there is only one conclusion, and that is to do its best to shift the strategic focus of the United States from Europe first and then Asia to Asia first and then Europe.

Even if it is difficult to fully achieve this goal, it will require a greater tilt in US policy toward Asia.

From now on, one of the core goals of the military and government of the Haitang Kingdom is to reverse the US strategy of putting Europe first and then Asia.
