Heavy air raids came in waves.

In each of the six waves of bombing, the Chinese side dispatched 300 sorties, nearly 2,000 bombs of 500 kilograms bombed important military facilities and warships in Hawaii, the fortress at Pearl Harbor was almost razed to the ground, the US Pacific Fleet Command was reduced to ruins, nine out of ten warships anchored in the harbor were sunk on the spot, officers and men were killed and wounded, and dense and mutilated corpses were floating in the military harbor

"How so? How could this be" The commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Bailey, lost his soul, and the white admiral's mansion was in tatters and filth, and he saw this desolate and incoherent wail.

Admiral Kate, the commissioner of the White House and the former commander of the Pacific Fleet, watched this scene, and his whole person was numb, he had seen such a scene for the second time, the previous time was in Da Nang, when the United Fleet was attacked by the Chinese Air Force on a large scale, and that feeling was almost like the end of the world.

Kate looked at Bailey, who was roaring like a madman, and deeply felt that the American army was too inexperienced in combat, and the cruelty of war was not something that could be replaced by the so-called military exercises.

He didn't know whether to pity Bailey or be annoyed, but he was somewhat sympathetic, stepped forward and grabbed Bailey's collar and yelled, "Calm down! Calm down! ”

Bailey looked at Kate as if he had been awakened. The eyes were empty and desperate: "It's over, the Pacific Fleet is over." ”

Admiral Kate sighed: "I have long said that the Chinese planes are very terrible, and last year they used planes to destroy the United Fleet in Da Nang. Listen, this is a situation that no one wants to see, but since it has happened, we can't change it. The question now is whether the Chinese want to occupy Hawaii. ”

"Occupy Hawaii!?" Bailey shuddered, and the whole person came to his senses.

Although the American generals lacked actual combat experience, the theory was not weak in post-Europe. The importance of Hawaii to the United States is understood by every American general. That is the American barrier in the Pacific Ocean. As long as Hawaii is under the control of the United States, no matter how strong China's navy is, it is impossible to attack the US mainland on a large scale, because this is not a question of combat effectiveness. It's that the hardware range of the warship cannot support such operations.

But. If Hawaii falls into the hands of the Chinese. Taking the current combat radius of the world's navy from 2,500 nautical miles to 3,000 nautical miles, the entire area of North America, Latin America, and even parts of South America is within the strike range of the Chinese navy, and it is necessary to prevent the Chinese troops from forcibly landing under the cover of the navy on the 10,000-kilometer eastern Pacific coast. How many troops do you have to deploy? Three or five million is not enough to see.

Once the powerful Chinese defense forces landed in the Americas, it would be an absolute disaster of unprecedented proportions. Just like some small countries in Latin and South America, they can't even resist the attack of a division of the Chinese army, while the Chinese defense force has hundreds or thousands of divisions.

Bailey thought of this, jumped up like an electric shock, and shouted: "Damn, Hawaii must not fall into the hands of the Chinese" Before the words fell, his voice stopped abruptly, he looked at Kate in a daze, and said with hesitation and fear, "You mean, the Chinese are still coming to the army?" ”

Kate said bitterly, "Of course I hope not." However, this is not possible. If you think about it, in order to conceal their strategic intentions, the Chinese have mobilized millions of troops and spent countless manpower and material resources to make the illusion of attacking India, are they just doing this to launch an air raid on Hawaii? ”

Bailey's face was like dirt, the U.S. Army, police and even the Marine Corps in Hawaii combined were less than 20,000, and the rest were navy, because in anyone's opinion, Hawaii's defense did not need an army, and the army existed to prevent riots or internal responses on the island. The defense of Hawaii only needs a navy, because it is already outside the combat radius of any country's navy, and the navy only needs a little resistance, the opponent's fuel is exhausted, and the entire fleet will become a living target floating on the sea, and even without attacking, it can besiege the enemy far away at sea, and all the enemy's navy will starve to death and die of thirst on the warships.

But now that the Pacific Fleet is over, and even the fortifications of the shore defense are finished, the whole of Hawaii is equivalent to a fragile little lamb exposed to a vicious wolf.

"How many army units will the Chinese actually move with the fleet?"

Kate said: "With conventional thinking, there is no navy that dares to attack Hawaii with an army, unless the other party's navy is much stronger than ours and can ensure victory." Because in the event of a failure of the operation and the enemy's fleet has to retreat, then the slow-moving supply ships and troop carriers will be the best targets for our attack, which is no different from sending them to death. ”

Bailey gritted his teeth and said, "But the actions of the Chinese have broken the convention. ”

Kate said bitterly: "Because of this, it is terrifying, since it is beyond our imagination, there are infinite possibilities." Do you remember last year's expansion of the Chinese Navy to 300,000? In fact, half of it is for the training of marines, of which three Marine divisions are selected, and the rest are eliminated and transferred to the troops stationed along the coast. Including the Marine Corps, the Chinese have at least 100,000 or 200,000 troops suitable for landing warfare or fighting in coastal areas. ”

Bailey gasped, his face changed, and he hesitated: "Could it be that the Chinese will let hundreds of thousands of troops risk with their fleet?"

Admiral Kate shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, it's not something I can be sure of, you're the commander of the Pacific Fleet." If I were you, I would order warships and submarines patrolling the waters around Hawaii to spy on the Chinese's logistical supply fleet. ”

Bailey looked at Admiral Kate and endured it: "I'm very sorry before, I apologize to you for my rudeness." Thank you for the reminder, the Chinese navy actually dares to attack Hawaii, then they must take the supply fleet with them, otherwise they will not have enough fuel to return home. ”

Katten nodded in approval.

Bailey said in a deep voice: "If the landing combat force that the Chinese put into the attack is only one or two divisions, then we will still have a chance to hold Hawaii by mobilizing the personnel on the island to assist in the defense." But if they commit a few divisions or even more of the army, then we will have to leave before the enemy can start attacking. ”

Kate didn't answer, of course he didn't dare and would not take a stand on such an important issue, it was really Hawaii too important for the United States, especially in the face of China, which currently has a strong navy. It's just that although he didn't speak, he actually agreed in his heart, because under the disparity in strength, they had no possibility of holding Hawaii at all, Hawaii's navy was destroyed, the coastal defense fortress was destroyed, and China's naval guns could provide artillery support to the landing force, and it was almost impossible to block the landing of the Chinese, unless there were not many Chinese land.

However, the Chinese side has gone to such great lengths to plan this battle, and it is conceivable that it is determined to win, so how can it fail in the ground offensive?

On the one hand, Bailey urgently ordered warships and submarines on the periphery to investigate the situation on the Chinese side, and on the other hand, he urgently ordered the mobilization of the Americans in Hawaii and asked them to cooperate in resisting the attack of the Chinese army. However, what he never expected was that he saw countless Americans frantically pouring onto the non-military docks, pouring onto the boats, and even many people falling into the water in order to squeeze into the boats, struggling and wailing in the water

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Bailey only felt cold inside, dazed and at a loss.

"Because the United States is a country of immigrants, especially Hawaii is not officially the United States." Admiral Kate watched from the sidelines and sighed to explain.

Bailey said angrily: "But there are huge interests of the United States here, don't they know the importance of Hawaii?" ”

Kate sneered: "Who cares about the interests of the United States except for those of us who are real Americans who were born and raised in the United States?" They can immigrate to the U.S., give up their home country, then they can immigrate to whatever they think is safe. ”

Bailey said indignantly, "Damn, God will punish them." I don't believe all of them are immigrants. ”

Admiral Kate said lightly: "Of course not." However, they are civilians, they go now, maybe the Chinese will not pay attention to them. But once they take up arms to resist, the Chinese will definitely not let them go. And not long ago, the Chinese killed millions of our Western coalition troops, you know, the Chinese said that if the coalition forces do not stop the massacre of the natives of South Asia and the islands of the South Sea, they will not include our Western civilians in the scope of protection under the international war regulations. ”

"Unlimited fire?" The blood on Bailey's face vanished cleanly.

Admiral Kate said solemnly: "Yes." The carnage has not stopped, or there is no way to stop it. Because of the turmoil caused by the famine, the indigenous people of India and the southern islands of the South Ocean could hardly produce with peace of mind, and without production there would be no food harvest, and the famine became even more terrible. ”

Bailey gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't our coalition forces provide disaster relief, those natives are extremely hungry, of course they can't control the situation." ”

"Disaster relief?" Admiral Kate scoffed, smiling and saying in a sarcastic tone: "Your Excellency, do you know how many victims there are? ”

Although Bailey heard the sarcasm in Kate's tone, he still couldn't help asking, "Is there a lot of people?" ”

"Of course, a lot." Kate replied in the affirmative, holding up three fingers as she spoke.

"Three million?" Bailey couldn't help but ask.

Kate laughed and said, "Is three million too much?" You are so naïve. ”

Bailey exclaimed, "Is it 30 million? ”

"Wrong!" Admiral Kate sighed and continued: "It's 300 million!" At least 300 million indigenous people are hungry, what can they do for disaster relief? ”
