Today's third update

With a tonnage of 21,000 tons, the Goddess of the Seas is a high-speed cruise ship that travels between the two shores of the Pacific Ocean, and the maximum speed of the ship can reach as much as 24 knots.

In the largest pretending operation in history orchestrated by President Wilkie, the cruise ship was jointly hired by American and European news organizations, plus a hot-headed American adventurer with money in his bag, boarded the cruise ship, and participated in the largest pretending operation in human history -- of course, after the Battle of Guam, this pretending operation became an international laughing stock, and became an international joke of pretending to fail and becoming stupid.

At that time, the Ocean Goddess set off from Pearl Harbor with the auxiliary supply ship of the U.S. Navy, and pretended to be forced on Saipan fiercely, and saw the Japanese on Saipan, under the threat of the giant ship cannons of the U.S. Navy, while his face turned pale with fright, but he trembled and trembled with the appearance of a clown with a smiling face.

At that time, in order to prevent the US Navy from "misunderstanding," the Japanese were even so frightened that they even forbade planes from taking off from the local island airfield, and the fort was even open to the public for tourists to "visit" for 20 hours, thus showing that they had no malicious intent in an extremely "open and honest" way.

The Goddess of the Seas cruise ship has as many as 15 foreign correspondents, not only from the United States, but also from the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands. When they interviewed the local Japanese on Saipan about their views on the "second largest white fleet," the answers they received were "a very large fleet" and "whether the Americans would be like the Maine, and would go to war with Japan by playing a self-fire storm here."

These interview scenes made the American reporters on the ship at that time fiercely proud, and greatly satisfied their pride of "pretending", and afterwards they were busy sending the contents of the interview back to China by telegram, and also helped the Japanese to carry out strategic deception.

But less than seventy-two hours later, as the Pacific Fleet pretended to be stupid, it wanted to get some joy. The American reporters who pretended to be forced with him were also collectively dumbfounded after "listening" to the bad news that the capital ships of the Pacific Fleet were sinking one after another at a close distance.

At that time, the auxiliary supply fleet where the Ocean Goddess was located was dozens of kilometers behind the Pacific Fleet. When the Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the Pacific Fleet, it also "handily" sent a detachment to attack the supply fleet. At that time, the only warships escorting the convoy were one light cruiser and two destroyers, and the Japanese first launched a sneak attack with several torpedo boats, lightly sinking the unsuspecting cruisers, and then under the siege of two light cruisers and several destroyers, the remaining two American destroyers also sank one after another after heroic resistance. At that time, the supply fleet on the scene was frightened and fled, but the slow supply fleet could not escape the net laid by the prematurely prepared Japanese fleet. Of the twenty-eight auxiliary supply ships, only three escaped and ascended to heaven.

The Goddess of the Seas is the fastest of the ships. But the ship is bad because of its largest tonnage, where is it possible for the Japanese Combined Fleet to let go of this large-tonnage ship. After 11 hours on the run, the ship was caught up and captured by Japanese warships 200 kilometers from Guam, along with the prisoners and a whole shipload of journalists from various countries.

The Goddess of the Seas is a high-speed mail ship, and in order to meet the needs of the reporters on board, the ship is equipped with a special printing room for these reporters to develop film.

After the capture of the Goddess of the Seas. The Japanese Navy, for the sake of its own "image", did not excessively embarrass the ship's journalists. Only to inform them that the American-Japanese war had broken out, and the ship was now requisitioned by the Japanese Combined Fleet. The ship will make a brief stop on Saipan, where unrelated personnel, foreign journalists, can disembark. At that time, other ships will send them to other neutral countries to re-route home.

At the time of the outbreak of the war, although the Goddess of the Seas was extremely close to the battlefield, because it was late at night at the time of the incident, the ship full of reporters did not take many valuable photos, for these journalists. It's a shame. After dawn, the Goddess of the Sea fled all over the world, and even further away from the battlefield until it was captured, and the reporters only took pictures of the Japanese cruisers pursuing them.

On 25 June, the Ocean Goddess arrived on Saipan Island under the Japanese Navy's hijacking, where they saw a "badly damaged" Japanese warship anchored there "from a distance", and even more afar, a battleship suspected to be the Nagato, being towed out of port by a tugboat.

This qiē was all part of the strategic deception set up by the Japanese against Britain according to Li Huamei's opinion, so as to use the "eyes" of these reporters to reveal to the British that the Japanese navy also suffered heavy losses in this naval battle.

After that, the Goddess of the Seas docked at the port of Saipan and was not allowed to leave, and the reporter was also placed under house arrest and strictly ordered to disembark. Fortunately, the Japanese did not bother these reporters, and the relevant living supplies were as good as the supply of tropical fruits, but the price was very "high".

On the 28th, several Japanese came aboard the Ocean Goddess, and they were the companions of the ship's guests, the Japanese military newspaper reporters.

It turned out that these reporters had come to borrow the washing room on the Goddess of the Sea to develop the photos. Three of these Japanese reporters were proficient in English, and they chatted well with their foreign counterparts after boarding the ship.

The reporters were all people with a keen sense of smell, and it was a great shame for these American reporters to get so close to the largest naval battle in human history, but not to take any valuable and meaningful photos. After these foreign reporters learned that these Japanese reporters had personally participated in the naval battles at that time and had taken many precious shots, these foreign reporters were immediately overjoyed.

In order to give an account after returning home, these clever foreign reporters gathered and discussed for a while, and they collectively pooled 10,000 US dollars to bribe these Japanese counterparts and ask them for their photos of the naval battle.

The so-called "money can be channeled", these Japanese colleagues, left and right hands to spend colorful dollars and pounds, and then after pretending to be a show, they used the excuse that it would take time for the film to be processed in the printing room, and then they ran to the ship's high-end dining room to enjoy the delicious meal prepared for them at the expense of their foreign counterparts.

The processing time of the old-style film was very long, and after a few Japanese reporters had eaten and drunk enough, they were invited by their colleagues to enjoy the "sauna" hospitality of the foreign dancers on the ship.

After the Japanese reporters left, a group of foreign reporters on board also cheered, and they received a large number of photos of the actual battle of Guam from their Japanese counterparts.

Two days later, a passenger ship from Singapore bound for the United States passed through Saipan and picked up all the foreign journalists and sailors on board. A number of British and southern French journalists, taking advantage of the friendly relations between the British and Japanese alliances, disembarked early amid the curses of their fellow shipmates (because they could get off the ship early to grab news and photos), and then they paid to charter a passenger plane and leave Saipan early to return to England and France.

The photographs of the battlefield taken by these British and French reporters, as well as the American, Dutch, and Japanese reporters who later returned to China, were soon published in newspapers and magazines in various countries.

However, attentive readers soon discovered that these published photos contained a large number of British-made torpedo boats. In a few photos, the Union Jack can even be seen on them.

Moreover, when these Japanese were developing photos on the Goddess of the Sea, there was also a big "oolong" incident, and there was a roll of film that developed out a large number of photos of British officers and Japanese warships and their officers and men, and there were also photos of British and Japanese warships dispatching together, and the photos of the British Empire's rice-shaped flag are vividly visible.

The combination of these photographs and the photographs of the Battle of Guam, which appeared at the same time, caused all kinds of associations among the audience and readers, and as soon as they were published in newspapers and magazines, they caused an uproar among the American people.

Although the British government made an emergency remedy afterwards, claiming that this was just some old photos of the British and Japanese navies conducting joint exercises in the Pacific Ocean at the beginning of the year as a remedy, the idea of the British secretly dismantling and stabbing the US Navy in the Battle of Guam had already taken root in the hearts of the people, not to mention the Americans who had suffered heavy losses, and even randomly interviewed a British citizen on the road, who also believed that the British Navy had played a "very special" role in this battle.

After obtaining a large amount of evidence of the British covert interference, but in order not to start a war with the British and Japanese navies at the same time, President Wilkie still pinched his nose and forcibly resisted the urge to declare war on Britain.

Privately, he swore to the angry US Secretary of the Navy that he would not let go of this damn European shit-stirring stick when we got rid of the Japanese dwarfs. In addition, in order to further divide and worsen Anglo-American relations, the Japanese, when releasing the non-combatants on the captured supply ships, also released a group of wounded U.S. Navy prisoners of naval warfare, and these wounded also saw the British entering and leaving the Japanese warships more than once when they were on Japanese ships.

The Japanese framed the British for discord, but in fact they were not very clever, and there were many high-ranking people in President Wilkie's staff who could see the tricks played by the Japanese. But the situation is just as Lin Han said to Li Huamei, the truth is not whether there is any, but whether Americans need to believe it.

When the Americans wanted to do something to the British, that evidence was evidence, even if it was falsified. When Americans don't want to do it, even if it's genuine evidence, they hold their noses and endure it.

After the Battle of Guam, the Americans, who had suffered heavy losses, could now only endure the pain and humiliation and declared war on Japan alone.

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. Americans can endure for a while, but they can't endure for a lifetime. Lin Han and Li Huamei, through various means, separated the Anglo-American relationship little by little. Countless small things and small places, accumulated little by little, will eventually change from quantitative change to qualitative change one day. (To be continued......)
