After talking to Nyz about the task force, President Wilkie talked to him about submarines again.

When it comes to submarines, the US Navy is simply a word of blood and tears.

Since the start of the war on 22 June, the US Navy has lost 58 submarines in the Pacific Ocean. Since the outbreak of the Hawaiian Campaign, a full 34 submarines have been "missing" in the Hawaiian Sea.

When the Battle of Hawaii broke out, the U.S. Navy originally thought that it could take advantage of the Japanese fleet's overwhelming force to send submarine units to get a vote, but whether it was attacking the U.S. fleet on the front line or sending it to cut off the Japanese army's supply line, the end was the same, almost all of them were gone.

And last month, after the Japanese fleet approached Oahu, the loss of submarines reached the point of madness.

The strictest case was on the 16th of last month, when a submarine that had just arrived from San Francisco to provide support was about to enter Pearl Harbor and dock, but before entering the port of the submarine, when it was diving underwater less than 12 kilometers from the port, several old biplanes suddenly flew into the sky, and then prepared to drop several deep-water bombing bows one after another at its location, until the submarine was forced to rise urgently, and then was sunk by the second wave of anti-submarine lightning planes that followed.

It was not unacceptable for the submarine to sink by a deep-water bomber dropped by an airplane, and what really stunned the US Navy was that not a single Japanese destroyer could be seen on the ocean at that time.

That is, the Japanese Navy simply did not use the traditional sonar or hydrophone positioning method, accurately found the specific location of the American submarine, and then sank it with one blow.

The scene of the sinking of this submarine was clearly seen by the US troops stationed at Pearl Harbor at the time, and the whole process caused a huge shock in the US Navy. One consequence of this was that Secretary Nimitz was temporarily suspended from U.S. submarine activity in the Pacific, and all submarines were ordered to return to their home ports for maintenance and recuperation -- the U.S. submarine forces stationed at Pearl Harbor had an alarmingly high rate of battle losses. Even to the point where every time he attacked, his boss could simply cross the list off the record book.

Despite the great cause of the United States, the loss of submarines can also bear it. However, this kind of situation of waiting for the death penalty as soon as the attack is carried out is generally not returned, and the intensity of the blow to the fighting spirit of the US Navy is even higher than the total annihilation of the Pacific Fleet.

Speaking of submarines, Nimitz frowned and said to the president: "Now this scene. It reminds me of the war in Europe two years ago, when the activities of the British submarine forces in the Norwegian Sea were also hit catastrophicly. No matter how they hid, as soon as they entered the vicinity of the German Navy, they would immediately be discovered. As for the reaction of the British submariners released after the war, the German Navy destroyers dropped deep-water bombing bows in the process of sinking their submarines, and the depth was amazingly accurate."

The most advanced German gunner-sighting radar, as well as the demonic anti-submarine technology, were used during the war in 1940. The most eye-catching thing in Britain and the United States. During the war, in order to obtain a German radar, the then Prime Minister Churchill even sent Goldman special forces to attack a German radar station in Norway and dismantle some of the core facilities.

Then, when they checked afterwards, the British found that although the German radar used some transistor technology, it was extremely advanced, but it was far from being as high-end as they imagined. As for the anti-submarine technology. The British and American sides have not yet figured out what is going on.

Fart Miz said to President Wilkie: "The Germans must have supplied their anti-submarine technology to the Japanese. ”

Outside Pearl Harbor, Japanese planes did not rely on destroyers to lock on to the opponent's depth, and directly two waves of bombing inflicted heavy damage on the site that finally sank a submarine. It really frightened the entire U.S. Navy. After the news of this battle spread, the morale of the submarine force was greatly reduced.

When it comes to Germans, from President Wilkie to ordinary Americans, most people grit their teeth with hatred.

There are two reasons, one is that the Germans have defaulted!

The second is intelligence. Before the war and now, Germany is supplying Japan with large quantities of arms and various types of military technology.

In September 1945, the American banks did not receive interest on the $40 billion foreign debt that the Germans had paid on time. The German government telegraphed to the United States that Germany was now unable to repay its huge debt to the United States due to the great losses caused by the recent war in Europe. They pretended to be "very sincere" and demanded that the United States reduce or reduce its huge debts.

According to the Germans, all the money they borrowed from the United States was used to pay for the defeat of France and Belgium in World War I. The Vichy French, on the other hand, were recognized by the United States of America, which owed Germany $30 billion in war reparations, and the Germans wanted the Americans to accept their offer: that is, to accept the ownership of the French war reparations.

When this demand was made, the German negotiators said pitifully that most of the money borrowed from the United States by the Weimar government in those years had fallen into France's pocket, and now France was to repay the debt, and it was only natural that France would spit out the money that had been taken back then.

Both the American banking community and the U.S. government, after hearing these words, were eager to pick up the Chicago typewriter and sweep the hateful German into a honeycomb.

Since then, the German side has owed the United States money, that is, it has dragged its feet and refused to pay it back. Now that the war in Europe has ended, and relations between the United States and Britain have deteriorated, the Germans are not afraid of the United States landing in Europe to collect debts with arms.

Although the two sides are still engaged in "in-depth discussions" on the issue of repayment, President Wilkie has already sniffed out from the attitude of the Germans, this damned European rogue state, they are ready to pay their debts.

What angered President Wilkie even more than the Germans were the export of German military technology to Japan.

The US side has discovered from a series of encounters in actual combat that the Japanese Navy's fighter-bombers and Tsubame fighters, which are now excellent, are all out-and-out German goods.

They also soon discovered that the final buyer of the torpedo boats sold by Germany to China before the war was actually Japan.

And a large amount of British and American equipment in the hands of the Japanese army was sold to them by the Germans and at a cheap price.

The American media even openly claimed in the newspapers that "in the Pacific, half of the bullets fired at every American soldier killed in battle were sent by Germans, and Germany is a country with real ill will towards the United States of America." ”

After the US authorities protested against this, the German side said that it was "free trade".

The Germans also took the incident of the U.S. Navy rolling up its sleeves and sending warships to escort the whole process of armed escort when the U.S. Navy rolled up its sleeves on the European battlefield. At that time, the German side lodged a solemn protest, but the US side defended that it was to protect free trade, and the official reply sent by the German authorities to the Americans directly replied to the US side on the basis of the original reply from the US side, scribbling and changing it, erasing a few words. And to point out that we're just doing what you did in 1940.

The Americans, who were devastated by the malice of the Germans, suffered heavy naval losses, and lacked a springboard in Europe, were extremely depressed. An enraged President Wilkie was then discovering that when the Pacific War broke out in June, the United States of America was more isolated internationally than ever before.

Needless to say, Germany's old ally, Britain, is the last person to be finished with the US Navy, and it is still unclear whether this country participated in the sneak attack on the Pacific Fleet.

The Soviet Union, so far, the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the war in the Pacific is silent, but there is intelligence that the Soviet Union is supplying Japanese oil and refined oil products in large quantities.

France, after the establishment of the Second People's Democratic Republic of France in March this year, France was divided into two. North France does not have a navy and cannot help the United States. Vichy France in the south, but was stabbed by the British during the European war, and now the only belongings left at home are the battleship Richelieu and the unfinished battleship Jeanbar, which did not help much. Even more unfortunate, almost all of France's industrial bases are in northern France, and those warships in southern France are now even in trouble with the supply of maintenance parts.

And Asia, which is most likely to pose a threat to Japan, is also China. Japan still occupies Taiwan, China, and the contradictions between China and Japan are still acute. But this potential ally

After sending Nimitz away, President Wilkie suddenly said to Vice President Dewey beside him:

"Damn Churchill, damn shit-stirring sticks, we've been miserable by him!"

Before Churchill's visit, in order to break the threat posed by the Anglo-Japanese alliance, President Wilkie had envisioned winning over New China and allowing China to exert greater pressure on Japan through Korea on land.

However, Churchill's visit to the United States to deliver the Iron Curtain speech led to McCarthy in the United States, and for a time, the anti-communist and anti-socialist momentum in the United States was greatly shaken, and the US government began to persecute leftists in the country, and both Chinese and Soviet expatriates in the United States were greatly affected. The result of this was the terrible relationship between the United States and its two potential allies in Asia, China and the Soviet Union. When the Great Flat Ocean War began, the Americans discovered with horror that in this war, almost all the big and powerful countries were now standing on their hostile side.

In the past, Lin Han and Hannah manipulated the media, constantly praising the Americans, making them fluttering, making them arrogant, making them think that they were the center of the world, and finally putting the United States in a predicament of being the enemy of the world.

President Wilkie said to his aide, Vice President John Dewey:

"The poor international strategic situation in the United States of America must be improved."

"What do you mean?"

President Wilkie picked up a globe on the table, turned to this side of Asia, and tapped his finger on the location of China. (To be continued......)
