In the White House, Chief of Naval Operations Nimitz was also scolding his mother, and the battle plan he submitted to the president was once again rejected.

Since the Panama Canal became unusable, in order to change the situation in which the U.S. Navy was increasingly turned away in the Pacific, the people in the Naval Operations Department developed an operational plan called Hunger Tactics.

The target of this plan was the overseas trade routes between Britain and Germany.

Now almost all of the main forces of the British and German navies were sent to the Pacific, and their naval forces in the Atlantic were unprecedentedly empty.

In view of this weakness, according to Nimitz's assumption, the US Navy happened to have a large number of newly built capital ships trapped on the Atlantic side because of the destruction of the Bana Canal, and these capital ships cooperated with the "redundant" escort aircraft carriers to enter the South Atlantic aircraft carriers to carry out naval blockade operations and cut off trade between Britain and Germany and South America and southern Africa.

According to Nimitz's vision, this would allow Britain and Germany to absorb part of their naval strength back to the Atlantic and reduce the pressure on the Pacific theater.

Then this plan, approved by the president, could not pass through the Congress, to be precise, it was opposed by the Congress under the control of the consortium plutocracy, on the grounds that it would lead to the expansion of the war, so that the war would become a trade route with no end in sight, and the New World and the Old World would attack each other, and finally become a "lose-lose" outcome. And another reason for opponents is that old Europe is different from the United States, and no matter how much the US Navy breaks diplomatic relations, it can only cut off the Atlantic aircraft carrier. And they have another Mediterranean-Indian Ocean route that connects Europe and Asia. And it is impossible for the US Navy to enter the Mediterranean, and it is unlikely that it will rush to India to break diplomatic relations.

The plan to break diplomatic relations was rejected, and even the plan to send a fleet to Europe to demonstrate was also opposed on the grounds that sea-based and land-based aviation were facing each other head-on. The risk is too great.

Afterwards, President Dewey admonished Nimitz:

"Give up, General Nimitz, the United States has already lost this war."

When he said this, President Dewey felt a strong sense of remorse in his heart.

The nuclear explosion on 4 July was not the destruction of four US fleets. Rather, it destroyed the hard-line President Dewey's grip on the United States. Feeling that President Dewey had too much power during the war and was no longer very obedient, the consortium and plutocracy that manipulated the United States began to stumble on Dewey through their own forces and spokesmen, making him "unfavorable in everything", and in fact, these people had already begun to "prepare for the defeat of the United States."

The war has been fought for more than four years now, and orders from the military have fattened the major consortia. It also increases their control over the United States. President Dewey, under the temptation of Linhan and under the banner of patriotism, frantically persecuted the progressive forces in the country in recent years, and although he eliminated the voices against the war, he also eliminated the progressive forces that could help him against the corporations.

In the past, President Dewey was able to do whatever he wanted in the United States, and that was because his "doing whatever he wanted" and the interests of the consortiums were at odds, so they supported him and let him "do whatever he wanted." But when these consortium heads. When they think that the war may escalate into a "nuclear war" that threatens their own lives. With the help of the war already well-fed consortiums, at this time in their eyes. President Dewey, who wanted to turn the war into a full-scale war or even a nuclear war, became a "rusher" that they felt glaring.

President Dewey has come to his senses, and the situation has become like this, who is behind it, and it will evolve into this, President Dewey understands that he himself has a considerable responsibility.

"It's me. Single-handedly destroyed the progressive forces that could restrain the shameless moths. ”

If time could be turned back, President Dewey vowed that he would definitely order "the patriotic thieves of the Knights of the Patriotic Rebellion to be dealt with severely in accordance with legal procedures."

However, the big mistake has already been made, and it is too late to regret it.

Afterward. He wrote in his diary.

"That's why they kept me in the presidency, but they needed one person to sign the humiliating so-called peace agreement. As long as there is one more defeat at the front, they will find reasons and excuses to end this war. As for why it waited until after the defeat to "hold peace talks," the United States of America would issue more orders for warships "after peace" for the sake of maritime security. What a profit! ”

When the president and the general were scolding and complaining, the U.S. Navy, which was fighting in the Pacific, was also angry.

"We are a herd of pigs to be slaughtered, we eat pig food, we drink pig urine, we live on a warship with pigs, and the dog-girl president sent us here, waiting to give us to the evil gods as sacrifices"

On November 8, 1946, on the lookout of the battleship Maine, Tom, a sailor on duty, was secretly drinking whiskey that had been brought on board while humming a self-composed and self-sung "scolding song".

Feelings of defeatism are now looming over the remaining six U.S. fleets in the Pacific. The nuclear explosion on 4 July not only annihilated 40 percent of the US Navy's capital ships, but also drained the US Navy's spirit, energy, and spirit.

The USS Maine (BB69) was the third ship of the Montana-class battleships and one of the only three and a half remaining U.S. Navy battleships in the Pacific.

After 4 July, the number of battleships theoretically owned by the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean should be four and a half.

Four refers to the three remaining Montana-class battleships to the Iowawa-class New Jersey, which escaped death on Artura Island. The half-ship refers to the "anti-aircraft battleship" Jean-Bar, which was leased from the French, and was called a half-ship because it had only one main gun turret.

Although the New Jersey escaped death on Artura Island, all the buildings on the ship were blown to pieces by heavy bombs, and all three main turrets were destroyed, and it is impossible to complete the repair within this year.

Due to the destruction of the Panama Canal, the number of combat aircraft carriers of the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean has no advantage compared with that of the Eurasian coalition forces, and it is all supported by the help of a large number of Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers.

Today, the U.S. Navy has reduced the number of combat aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean to fourteen Essex-class aircraft carriers, three Independence-class aircraft carriers, and four Midway-class aircraft carriers.

Although the U.S. Navy also has two Essex-class aircraft carriers, one Independence-class, and four Midway-class aircraft carriers in the Atlantic direction, as well as Montana-class battleships that will be completed next year. However, because of the destruction of the Panama Canal, none of these new ships could move to the Pacific Ocean, and they could only lie depressed in the Atlantic Ocean and look at the Pacific Ocean at the other end in a daze.

And the number of battleships is even more at a comprehensive disadvantage of one to three or even one to four.

Although it is now the era of "the sky is king", after all, half of the time in this world is night, and as the time enters October. Winter is coming, the climate is gradually deteriorating, and in the high latitudes of the North Pacific waters, the night hours are getting longer and longer, and the role of aircraft carriers is constantly being weakened.

"It is impossible for humans to defeat the gods! What's more, it's the enemy of five evil gods at the same time! ”

"Those five evil gods are the punishment for the arrogance of the United States of America!"

"President Dewey is crazy, he is challenging the gods and at the same time he has to be the enemy of the whole world."

The US Navy, having lost the spirit, spirit, and spirit of the navy, no longer has the ambition to shout "to send the evil god to God" a few years ago, and some only have the war-weariness of hoping that this "damned war" will end as soon as possible. This is true for the people. The same goes for the military. This kind of emotion is fed back to the war-weary soldiers at the bottom, and it becomes dereliction of duty and coping with things when they are on duty.

In November, when the sun sets early and rises late, the long night is a good time for the "outdated" battleships to strike.

At nine o'clock in the evening of the 8th, a strong wind blew on the sea. The wind was high and the waves were strong, and it was ten o'clock. It was raining heavily. The rain continued until a little shorter in the early hours of the next morning. For Tom, the lookout, being forced to stand guard on a rocky lookout was a painful chore.

The battleship Maine was on a convoy mission, and together with another Montana-class sister ship, the Ohio, he joined a convoy of twenty-four destroyers, four cruisers, four escort carriers, and twenty-four transports. Supplies are being delivered to Kiska Island.

The main reason for the small size of this escort fleet and the small number of escort aircraft carriers is the unique geographical environment of the Aleutian Islands, which is densely packed with countless small islands that stretch from the eastern Pacific Ocean to the western Pacific Ocean like a stepping stone. The islands are often only a few hundred kilometers apart from each other. The U.S. Navy has been recovering the Aleutian Islands for three years, and after three years of painstaking operation, almost every island has one or more land-based airfields. As long as it is dawn, his escort fleet can be protected by the planes of the island-based airfield at any time.

The closest island-based airfield to his fleet on the voyage to Kiska Island was only more than 100 kilometers, and there was also a squadron of destroyers stationed there. In the past four years, the US shipyards have built nearly 800 destroyers, and they can have the luxury of arranging receiving fleets everywhere. And the route he took was in the Bering Sea on the inner side of the Aleutian Islands. Every day before dark, long-range reconnaissance planes will take off from the island-based airfields of the island chain in various places to conduct dragnet-style searches to ensure that there will be no enemy fleets in the surrounding 800-kilometer sea area.

At two o'clock in the morning, the Maine sailed out of the rain cloud belt, the wind and rain had stopped, the sky was clear, and when I looked up, the moon in the sky hung obliquely a full moon, and the cold moonlight fell on the Maine through the cold sea breeze, adding a chill to the Bering Sea in November.

November 8, 1946 is the next moon festival of the Chinese lunar calendar, even though the 15th day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is a good season for bright colors.

At half past two o'clock in the morning of the 9th, the alarm bell suddenly sounded on the Maine.

The alarm bell came from the radar crews of the destroyers on the periphery, who reported that they had spotted a large number of suspicious targets and were approaching the fleet at high speed. Just like Tom, the watchman who was stealing a drink from the lookout on the Maine, the destroyer's radar crew on the perimeter was also a little negligent in their duties, and they did not alert the anomaly from the radar signal until the sneak attacker approached a distance of less than thirty kilometers from it.

However, it was not entirely to blame the negligence of the radar soldiers, and the approaching assassins were all flying at a low altitude of thirty meters above the surface of the sea. The moon is fifteen and sixteen round, and the good moonlight gives excellent help for low-altitude flight at night. The aircraft that is flying close to the sea is a night attack aircraft specially developed for low-altitude night sneak attack warfare: the Bat II attack.

The Bat II attack aircraft is a night attack aircraft specially developed by Britain and Japan according to the characteristics of the ship spirit and the ability of the ship spirit after the appearance of the ship spirit.

Its biggest feature is that this "again" is a low-altitude, low-speed, high-performance biplane attack aircraft.

In the original historical plane, the biplane has been an obsolete cargo that has been eliminated since World War II, but this plane, with the long-distance full-field perception of the ship spirit, has excellent low-altitude performance, and is suitable for low-altitude raids at night.

After the success of the surprise attack on San Francisco in 1943, the Japanese side did not stop the development of biplanes, and after the birth of Artoria, commissioned by Li Huamei, Artoria also encouraged the British Navy to join in, and Britain and Japan joined forces to develop a new generation of biplane attack aircraft.

The new generation of Swordfish II, with an engine horsepower of up to 1,950 horsepower, can penetrate defenses at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour when carrying a torpedo. It's completely different from the heavy Swordfish type. In order to provide the "stealth capability" of the aircraft and the anti-VT wireless proximity fuze, the aircraft was also built with as little metal as possible, and still used backward canvas skin.

The surprise attack on the U.S. fleet was an operation that the coalition forces had been carefully preparing for months. A total of three aircraft carriers were involved in the operation. They were the Japanese Musashi, the British Mordred, and the German Sephiroth.

Before the operation began, two days earlier, a Japanese submarine that had infiltrated the route of the USS Maine had spotted the convoy and sent a telegram, and then Hannah's submarine had rushed to the Aleutian chain and found the American fleet again. Another submarine, which succeeded Hannah, Katyusha Jiling, determined the position of the fleet after dark and continued to provide correction data.

On the other side, Lin Han and Artoria joined forces to merge and command three aircraft carriers to "naked" break into the US plane's reconnaissance network and approach the target without a frigate during the day. At that time, they took advantage of the bad weather in the Bering Sea, hid under a thunderstorm cloud, avoided the US reconnaissance planes in the sky, and successfully approached a distance of about 500 kilometers from the fleet before dark, and then kept getting closer and narrowing the distance. So there were only three of them, in order to reduce the size of the fleet and prevent it from being discovered by the adversary.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the three aircraft carriers, which had the spirit of the ship, approached a distance of 200 kilometers from the target fleet, took advantage of the moonlight to fly carrier-based aircraft, flew at a low altitude to avoid the radar search of the US fleet, and with the help of Katyusha's submarine constantly providing radio carrier correction data, they found the moving US fleet in one fell swoop.
