When President Dewey arrived in China on 25 January, the Japanese forces attacking Pearl Harbor had already captured the main peak of Oahu.

By the 25th, the fighting on Oahu had largely subsided, and the remnants of the American army were huddled in a few remaining tunnels in the belly of the mountain, holding on to the fortifications accumulated in the past dozens of years.

The attacking Japanese side did not want to attack, but surrounded and blocked the exit of the tunnel, and began to persuade them to surrender. For the weak Japanese army, being able to persuade the American troops hiding in the tunnel fortifications to surrender is the best outcome, because this can obtain the remnants of the fortress fortifications in Honolulu in its entirety, as well as obtain a large amount of war materials stored inside.

After two months of bombing, a large number of fortifications and materials on Oahu were destroyed, but the remaining captured parts still made the Japanese troops who landed on the island happy. One of the greatest gains of the Japanese army was the capture of the shipyard on Oahu, which is now subject to some damage. However, because Japanese planes deliberately avoided bombing the shipyard before the war, the war damage suffered there was not severe.

Another catch was the seizure of some of the island's oil. Although the U.S. military on the defensive side of the war blew up the flammable aviation gasoline depot, the non-flammable underground heavy oil depot suffered only minor damage. The seizure of hundreds of thousands of tons of heavy oil was also a great gain for the Japanese Combined Fleet, which relied on imports for every qiē fuel.

After landing on the island, the Japanese soldiers who participated in the battle searched the ruins of the original settlement on the island and looted the loot, and also filled their pockets.

For the remainder of the day, the Japanese forces capturing Oahu carried out a comprehensive effort to persuade the American forces on the island to surrender, and on 1 February, Short, seeing that the general situation was gone, ordered the American forces on the island to lay down their arms and surrender.

On 1 February, four Japanese soldiers were dressed in navy, army, marine, and army uniforms. The four of them jointly held a somewhat torn Japanese military flag and climbed to the top of the main peak of Honolulu to carry out a show-like "flag planting" ceremony.

This scene was arranged by Li Huamei, and its idea was modeled after the classic photo of the U.S. military planting the flag on Iwo Jima in the history of World War II.

Compared with the time when the flag was planted in history, the US military that planted the flag was neat and tidy, and the flag was clean. At first glance, you can tell that it is a photo of a show. Before filming this scene, Li Huamei ordered someone to throw a few grenades on the side, creating a scene where the flames of war were not extinguished and black smoke was billowing, and on the ground around them, some bullet casings were sprinkled, a few American-made ammunition boxes were placed, and a few "extras" pretending to be corpses were placed in the distant shot. The four Japanese soldiers before planting the flag also deliberately rolled on the ground a few times. His face was covered in mud, and the flag was deliberately tattered to show that this was a "real shot" on the "real" battlefield.

Several cameras that had been prepared on the side snapped to capture this "classic" scene, and then selected the most satisfying shots of the angle lenses to be published nationally and internationally.

During the Battle of Oahu, a large number of German experts joined the Japanese army as "observers" to provide technical support. In addition, Germany and Japan also sent photographers to take a large number of battlefield pictures.

And at this time, one advocated militarism. A film that boasts of Japan's glorious victory in the war is also already being planned. People from the Japanese propaganda department. It is being prepared to put together the war scenes that have been filmed over the past few months, with the scissorhands of director Tong Guò and the performances of some of the actors, and then piece together a film called "The Flags of the Fathers".

While posing for a photo on Honolulu, the Japanese visited U.S. Vice President John Dewey of China on the 27th of that month. At the invitation of the leaders of the CPC Central Committee, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, they watched a war movie -- "The Eyes Over Shanghai Airlines," which had just been filmed this year and was about to be released.

The plot of this movie reflects the 1935~1936 period and takes place in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area. The war lasted almost a year. At a sensitive period when Japan and the United States were in the war, the Chinese side invited the US president and his entourage to watch such a movie, which in itself had extremely heavy political implications.

In order to enable President Dewey and his entourage, who did not understand Chinese, to understand the movie smoothly, two weeks before Dewey's visit to China, the Chinese side specially invited someone to do relevant English dubbing and recorded an English version of the dubbing for the film. When Dewey and his party watched the movie, they listened to the English dubbing lines of the movie on the screen through a small speaker installed on the edge of the seat.

Later, after Dewey's visit to China, the English copy of the film was also brought back to the United States with him. Later, due to political needs, the film was released in major theaters in the United States, becoming the first film in New China to land on the American screen.

News of Dewey's visit to China reached Japan on the 25th of that month, when the battle on Oahu was nearing its end. Shortly after the Japanese emperor's visit to China last year, diplomatic relations between China and Japan had already been established, and the Japanese side was extremely nervous about this, and the official ordered the ambassador to China to collect as much intelligence information as possible about Dewey.

The Chinese side deliberately did not keep the news of Dewey's visit to China secret, and even published his whereabouts in China in newspapers in a high-profile manner, as well as deliberately revealing the content of high-level discussions between China and the Chinese Communists.

The Japanese side learned from information released by the Chinese side that during his few days in China, in addition to watching movies and discussing some "topics published in the newspapers" with the Chinese side, Dewey also visited China's navy, army, and air force, and even arrived in Shanghai by train on 30 January, visited the Shanghai shipyard, and watched the launching ceremony of a Chinese-made landing craft.

In the eyes of Japan-related war movies, the launching ceremony of the landing ship, and the Taiwan issue, in the eyes of China experts in Japan, the smell released to Japan by the Chinese side through Dewey's visit to China is too threatening. In the "best fantasy" of the Japanese leadership, after taking Oahu, Japan can enter into "peace talks" with the United States. If China stands on the side of the United States at this time, is co-opted by the United States, and declares war on Japan, then this war will be far away.

On 1 February, the day the U.S. defenders of Oahu surrendered, Li Huamei also flew back to Japan in HE177, and the Japanese side was very nervous about the U.S. Vice President's visit to China. At this turning point that "decided the fate of Japan", His Excellency Yamato Nadeshiko also hurriedly fell behind in the front line of the war, and immediately rushed back to Japan by plane, and landed in Tokyo on the 2nd of the same month.

The Japanese high-level officials, who were accustomed to His Excellency "Yamato Nadeshiko's" ability to accurately predict the world situation, were anxious to wait for "His Excellency Nadeshiko" to give them correct instructions.

It's just that even Li Huamei didn't expect that her feet had just landed on the ground in Tokyo, and the United States, which was separated from Japan by half a world, another major event was happening. (To be continued......)
