After half a year of emergency repairs, the defense of the Pearl Harbor military port has been strengthened, the sunken warships have been salvaged, and in the course of emergency repairs, locally-made planes have been replenished to Hawaii as soon as possible, as well as warships drawn from the Atlantic Fleet, the Pacific Fleet has recovered some vitality, and the pilots of the Navy are using the only few escort aircraft carriers to conduct training at sea.

It's just that the weapons and equipment are out of the way and can be reproduced, and it is not easy to replenish the experienced officers and men of the Navy if they are killed.

Although Hawaii's security was assured, there were no large aircraft carriers, and the newly replenished naval officers and men lacked experience, and it was impossible to imagine sending a fleet to bomb the Japanese mainland, as it had historically been.

Army Rear Admiral Doolittle came to Washington, where he was on a secret mission, but in the White House, in the face of the expectations of the president, Army Chief of Staff Marshall, Secretary of the Navy Ernest and others, he had to regret that without the USS Enterprise and the USS Hornet, it would be difficult to attack Tokyo in the air.

"Escort aircraft carriers are unable to take off large bombers, and the Navy's bombers have limited bomb loads, making it difficult to achieve results." Doolittle reported.

"No, just one bomb on Japanese soil is enough." Roosevelt said firmly.

The bombing of Tokyo was difficult and expensive, but as long as a bomb fell on the Japanese mainland, the psychological damage caused to the Japanese was far greater than the material and human damage -- this was a political account!

Ever since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the Americans have been holding their breath to give the Japanese a little color, and the best way is to retaliate and bomb Tokyo, and this task fell on the shoulders of Major General Doolittle of Army Air Force.

"Mr. President, if you barely carry out this mission, the plane we let go will never return. Even if it dodged Japanese anti-aircraft fire. We were also unable to find an airport to land. Unless—"

Doolittle's eyes fell on Vladivostok, Dalian, Qingdao and other places on the map. They also pretended to look at the president, the secretary of state, and others, and wondered how they were talking with the Chinese side.

"The Chinese categorically rejected our demands, threatening that once US fighters enter China's airspace, it will be regarded as an invasion of China, and they will not hesitate to shoot us down."

Marshall said with an ugly face.

Without China's support, U.S. fighter jets would have died without a place to bury after they were sent to bomb Japan.

Moreover, after ventilating with China. The Chinese side must have known about the US plan to bomb Japan, and perhaps the news will reach Japan's ears.

Doolittle returned disappointed, left the White House, and breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was to give up this plan of nine deaths and one life, without sacrificing his soldiers.

"Will the Chinese really shoot down our plane?" Roosevelt smoked a cigarette and frowned that he really needed a small victory to boost national morale.

"This-" **** Sheng and Marshall and others were embarrassed, and the president was not dead, and they didn't know how to answer.

"Maybe we should take the risk. Test the attitude of the Chinese towards us. If some influential friends in China are invited to lobby, perhaps Wuhan's attitude will change. John Dulles, the president's foreign adviser, said suddenly.

John Dulles didn't like **** and Marshall. Often ostracized by them in the White House, it's time to show what you're capable of.

Influential friends in China?

Roosevelt looked at Dulles, his eyes lit up, and he quickly thought of someone.

He nodded and said to Dulles: "No matter what the cost, we must show the Japanese color, otherwise they will be even more unscrupulous, and the consequences of losing Australia will be catastrophic." ”

Roosevelt grimaced.

It is true that the Americans were powerless to stop Japan's expansion in the Pacific theater.

Japan went all out southward, strategically invested millions of troops in Australia, launched a sea and land attack on Australia, and once again defeated the US-Australian coalition forces, and the northern and eastern regions of Australia fell.

The Australians are belligerent and courageous, stubbornly adhering to the White Australia policy, and will enthusiastically send troops in every world war, and now they don't have to travel thousands of miles to help their European relatives fight wars, to brush up their presence, and now that the war is burning at home, they have a chance to do a big job.

Due to the rapid southward movement of the Japanese army, the heavy losses of the United States, the lack of aid, the aid of South China is a drop in the bucket, Australia itself is backward in industry, and in the face of the Japanese armored forces, the Australians finally know what it means to be strong in the strong.

The U.S.-Australian coalition fighter was no match for the Zero fighter, having lost air superiority and facing Japan's land and sea attacks, Australia was like China in 1937.

The Japanese hated Sydney more than they did, and after the capture of Sydney, the Sydney Massacre began, in which 150,000 people died under butcher's knives and millions of Australians were imprisoned in concentration camps.

It is said that a "strategy for the construction of Australia" became the program for the Japanese to invade Australia, and they planned to immigrate 8 million people to develop Australia, and at the same time learned from the experience of the founding of the South China in those years, and properly handled the indigenous issues in situ.

So, the Japanese used bayonets to drive the Aussies out of the city and farms, and escorted them to the desert to "bask in the sun".

And the Japanese people are immigrating one after another, full of joy, and even crying bitterly to live in the old home of Australia, doves occupy the magpie's nest.

Australia is such a good country for immigrants, and Japanese farmers were moved to tears when they were assigned to the vast pastures, they had never seen such a vast continent.

Now that you're here, do your best and don't go back to that barren island.

The soldiers of the Japanese army also felt that it was worth shedding so much blood, and the military headquarters promised to distribute the land to the soldiers who were fighting.

"Australia is the lifeline of Japan, 100 million people go to Australia to explore!" In the newspapers of Tokyo, the fanatical fascist Shuaki Okawa shouted, and many people responded to it.

After the dream of Manchuria was shattered, the Japanese had not been so strong for a long time, and the morale of the people was high, and they were about to conquer the universe!

In short, Australia has been included in Japan's absolute defense circle on its own soil, and the Japanese, who are not afraid to eat ugly food, have already made Australia their home!

As for the fact that the South China Fleet controlled Western Australia under the banner of protecting the Australian diaspora, this fact has been ignored by the Japanese.

Compared with Eastern Australia, Western Australia is nothing, and Eastern Australia is the essence of the Australian continent.

MacArthur managed to make it from the Philippines to Australia. Now even Australia is lost. He's a lost dog again!

Situ Nan saw the results of the Australian campaign in the newspapers. MacArthur had fled back to Pearl Harbor and was not embarrassed to face reporters.

MacArthur's own image is the best embodiment of the US military in the Pacific theater.

Although his personal relationship with MacArthur was not bad, Situ Nan did not like this person in his heart, but he never showed it.

Dulles approached Situ Nan and asked him to be a lobbyist and ask China to open the airport for US military planes to land. The president also personally called Situ Nan.

"John, it's impossible, I'm just a businessman. Although I had dealings with officials in Wuhan, it was beyond my ability. Situ Nan refused.

Today's China is not Chang Kaishen's China that waits hard for changes, and it has no alliance with the Americans, so of course it is impossible for the US military plane to bomb Japan and happily land on its own airfield.

"I know it's excessive, but all it takes is one request, not to shoot down the American plane." Dulles continued.

"Just save the pilot's life?" Situ Nan asked with a smile.

A picture comes to mind of a US military pilot being tried in China. Bitter tears, and Washington still has to say yes to this. The Chinese judge reasonably!

Situ Nan did not want a war between China and the United States, and now was the time for mutual compromise.

He reluctantly accepted Dulles's commission and wrote a letter to Wuhan, reminding Song Ziwen and others to take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate with US imperialism and divide the sphere of influence.

Soon after, Dulles came to Wuhan as a special presidential envoy.

The attitude of the Wuhan side has indeed changed, and the two sides have begun secret negotiations.

"Mr. Dulles, it is unacceptable for US fighters to invade China's airspace, and US pilots will definitely be punished by our country's laws!" Song Meiling said solemnly.

"Can the lives of our pilots be guaranteed?" Dulles didn't dwell on diplomatic etiquette and asked directly.

Song Meiling's face was solemn, she did not answer, and asked Dulles how the United States viewed the war between China and the Soviet Union.

"The United States is not our enemy, but we also don't want both sides to be enemies, so why doesn't the White House recognize Siberia as our legitimate territory?" Song ML said.

"This issue is beyond my mandate." Dulles frowned.

The United States did not like the Soviet Union, and they were more than happy to see the losses of both China and the Soviet Union, but in a one-sided situation, they did not want to recognize the Chinese invasion of the Soviet Union.

The talks were inconclusive, and Soong Meiling and the Wuhan side did not make any commitments.

Dulles brought the results of the talks back to Washington, and Roosevelt decided to take a risk.

So there is the following story.

Tokyo was still asleep in total darkness, and somewhere in the open sea the sky was already dark, and the American fleet of three escort aircraft carriers was approaching, and bombers were taking off from the carriers one after another.

George Bush flew the plane off the deck when he felt a drop in front of him, the plane was falling into the sea, and his heart was falling. He slammed the plane, and the sea water came towards him, almost asking about the fishy smell of the sea, and his heart was about to jump to his throat.

"Damn it! I knew that if the deck was not long enough, it would fall into the sea! ”

Just when he thought he was going to feed the fish, the plane finally plundered the surface of the sea, climbed little by little, and gradually moved away from the sea.

"Whew! Thank God! ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxed, leaned back in his chair, walked back from the ghost gate, felt his body soaked, and looked back at the aircraft carrier behind him, the people on the deck waved in celebration, the sound could not be heard, but their blessings were sincere.

"Homecoming!"

The captain gave the order, and the fleet turned the bow and began to flee.

Rear Admiral Doolittle stood on the bridge and looked out, and the formation of fighters in the distance spread its wings like eagles, gradually disappearing into the glow.

Sending a bunch of lads to hell with his own hands, how can he not feel heavy? I can only pray that the soldiers are safe.

The bombing was so successful that the Japanese could not have imagined that the American planes would fly over Tokyo, and they thought it was their own plane, but they waved enthusiastically when they saw the planes.

It was not until the bombs fell from the sky that they fled violently, and the anti-aircraft fire in Tokyo was long overdue, and by the time Japan took off the fighters, the American planes had already disappeared, and the casualties caused by the bombing were not large, but they bombed a few buildings and a few factories in Tokyo, but the shock to the hearts of the Japanese was not small.

Leaving Tokyo, Bush flew his fighter plane and continued its flight westward, and their destination was China.

Bush looked around, the size of the flight formation was reduced by half, the plane of the New York Yankee on the left had disappeared, and although he did not like the Yankee, Bush still felt a trace of grief, that Yankee was dead.

And he will continue to walk on the road to death, either the plane ran out of fuel and fell into the sea, or was shot down by the Chinese.

Before takeoff, Doolittle told the pilots that the White House did not negotiate with the Chinese, the Chinese did not allow the American fighter to land in China, but landing in China was their only option, if you encounter a Chinese fighter or make a forced landing in China, please exercise restraint, the US consulate will rescue them.

All the pilots scolded the bureaucrats in the White House, but no one flinched and chose this life-and-death mission.

Thinking of this, the excitement of bombing Tokyo disappeared and the mood became depressed.

"Hey, George, I can't wait to land, I hope the Chinese guys aren't too enthusiastic, and the flowers aren't too beautiful." Cheney's laughter was heard over the radio, and everyone began to discuss, "What do you want to do in China?" ”

"I'm going to eat Kung Pao chicken." Bush replied with a smile.

"I miss a Chinese girl!"

"I want to see the Great Wall!"

"I look at buying a car, and I heard that the cars made by the Chinese are cheaper than the domestic cars!"

……

Then, some people are destined to fail China, and just as the coastline gradually appears in view, several planes have already plunged into the sea, and their planes have run out of fuel!

"Dididi!"

At the radar station deployed along the coast, a group of UFOs suddenly appeared on the display, and the radar operator immediately reported it, and then the airports in Dalian, Qingdao and other places took off urgently to meet the enemy!

A certain wing of the Air Force, Zhan Gao Zhihang, piloted a fighter plane, and saw an American bomber flying from the clouds, and the intelligence was indeed correct, the Yankees were flying from the direction of Japan, and the Yankees must have done something stupid.

He immediately commanded the Chinese fighters to meet the battle!

"This is the Air Force of the Chinese National Defense Forces, you have intruded into our airspace for no reason, I order you to surrender and follow our instructions, otherwise we will shoot you down."

The sound of Chinese fighter planes was heard on the radio, and the frequency of communication between the two sides was set early in the morning, and Bush pouted: "The Chinese Yankees' English is really ugly, but this is fine, and there is no need to use a few broken words of Chinese by yourself." ”

I was relieved that I was running out of fuel and had to find an airport to land as soon as possible.

"Here are American planes, we got lost, repeat, we got lost......"

Although the US pilot was hard-mouthed, he was not slow to move, and under the "protection" of the Chinese fighters, he soon landed at a certain airport in Qingdao.

Only 6 of the 30 planes at the time of departure finally landed, and the Air Force Special Service Company subdued the American pilots as soon as they landed.

The Yankees were very intellectual, did not resist, and avoided the pain of flesh and skin.

They have completed their mission, now it is up to the diplomats to behave.

Bush got off the plane and was pointed at gunpoint by the Chinese soldiers behind him and walked forward, and he was still in the mood to glance at the airport and look at the Chinese fighters where they were landing, to see how these Chinese versions of BF109 fighters were.

“GO！” The back was suddenly smashed by a Chinese soldier with the butt of a gun, and his body was in hot pain.

These Chinese soldiers don't know English, they can only say go!

The disarmed American pilots were quickly locked up and then interrogated by MIA agents.

Of course, basically nothing was tried, and everything that should have been known was known. Long before the operation, the U.S. Embassy in China informed Wuhan of the bombing of Tokyo, and the Americans succeeded in exploiting the kindness of the Chinese.
