"The fleet of the Japanese disappeared?" Inside the Dongshan Fleet Headquarters, Ouyang Yun asked in surprise.

The staff officer who came to report nodded solemnly and said: "That's what Chief of Staff Chiang wrote in the telegram that the Japanese fleet has not been seen within 350 kilometers of the southeast, southwest, and due south of Taiwan Island. ”

Chen Yuanyang groaned: "The Japanese won't be a false shot, right?" Or, what went wrong? ”

Qi Minghao: "Is this possible?" The Japanese did not come to Taiwan in the first place. ”

"You mean, the destination of the Japanese fleet is not Taiwan? Where would that be? Northeast? Shanghai? Impossible. ”

Chen Yuanyang and Qi Minghao were talking, and they both felt very puzzled.

The speaker had no intention of listening, Ouyang Yun suddenly remembered something, and his heart jumped "boom", and he couldn't help but stand up.

His move came suddenly, and the range of his movements was relatively large, which startled a group of naval officers in the headquarters. Everyone looked over, but they heard the commander-in-chief muttering: "No, is the Pacific War going to break out early?" It's hard to say, when Yamamoto, an old madman, meets Koizumi, a little madman, everything is possible......" Everyone couldn't understand what he said, and couldn't help but look at each other.

A huge fleet of more than 100 ships, this scale, let alone attacking the island of Taiwan, is enough to raid a country. However, if the target is not Taiwan, where else can it be? The words "Raid on Pearl Harbor" suddenly popped up in his mind, and Ouyang Yun's face suddenly became wonderful.

For the United States, because of the influence of that time and space environment, Ouyang Yun has never had a real good impression from beginning to end. Not only did he not have a good feeling, but he was also deeply wary. Don't look at the fact that he is fighting with the US government on the surface, but secretly he is making vicious calculations.

The Japanese were able to obtain some advanced ordnance information from the Xuebing Army, and now, they were even able to obtain the most advanced type of semiconductor components in the world, not because of how powerful the Japanese were at espionage work, but because Ouyang Yun was willing to give it. This was undoubtedly playing with fire, but because it could lead to a disadvantageous war against Japan, and even a large war loss, and the Cadet Army might be able to profit from it, he could not refuse this temptation.

Ouyang Yun is not a god, he would not have thought that the Japanese target this time would actually be the Dutch East Indies. He took it for granted that the Japanese were going to carry out the plan of "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor" in advance, and he couldn't help but feel a dilemma in his heart -- should they notify the US military?

This is really a difficult decision, it is also playing with fire, and if you don't get it right, it can really change the outcome of World War II. Chen Yuanyang and the others looked at the commander-in-chief standing there, his face changed, his eyes flickered, and they didn't know what was going on, looking at him quietly, no one dared to make a sound.

After a full six minutes, Ouyang Yun exhaled lightly and said to the staff officer: "Call Jiang Chuanjun back and ask him to closely monitor the movements in the waters around Taiwan to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese fleet." ”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied loudly, then saluted and walked out.

In the end, Ouyang Yun decided to take a gamble. It is not a bet on the Pacific Fleet of the US military, but a bet on the final victory of the student army. With his mind in mind, he looked at the others, noticed their strangeness, and said, "We should do what we should do, and be prepared." ”

Everyone nodded, and continued with the work at hand. Chen Yuanyang and Qi Minghao continued the previous conversation with Ouyang Yun, and the headquarters quickly returned to normal.

Hawaii is about 6,000 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland, and at the speed of the Japanese fleet, it would take at least two weeks to reach it from Nagasaki Naval Port.

1 day, 2 days...... A week later, there was still no trace of the Japanese fleet in the waters around Taiwan, and Ouyang Yun couldn't help but become convinced, thinking that the Japanese were really going to attack the US Pacific Fleet in advance this time.

At this time, after completing a voyage of more than 2,500 kilometers, the Japanese fleet had already arrived at Chuuk Island, known as the "Pearl Harbor of Japan," and began to carry out the most advanced war preparations.

Chuuk Island, located in the middle of the Garin Islands, southwest of the Marshall Islands and north of the Solomon Islands, became a Japanese mandate after World War I. Because of its special geographical location, the Japanese attached great importance to the strategic role of this enclave, and intended to build it into "Gibraltar in the Pacific", and after more than ten years of painstaking management, Chuuk Island gradually became Japan's largest military port outside the mainland, and won the name of "Japan's Pearl Harbor".

Isoroku Yamamoto is particular about using this place as the source of his strategy to carry out the Indian Ocean. First, it can allow the Western Expeditionary Fleet to avoid the nuisance of the Cadet Army Air Force; two, which can intercept threats from the Pacific; Third, because of the special geographical location of Chuuk Island and the surrounding Japanese-occupied islands, if an attack on the Dutch East Indies is launched here, it can have the effect of closing the door and beating the dog.

The first to discover the presence of the Japanese expeditionary fleet in the Garin Islands was an American merchant ship. The scale of the Western Expeditionary Fleet is too large, as long as people with a little military common sense, their first reaction when they see this fleet is definitely a numbness in their scalps. The captain of the merchant ship, Pisher, received a report from his crew and climbed the watchtower to look ahead to the left, and saw the warship flying the Japanese flag in sight, and he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the watchtower. Trembling and frightened, he came down from the watchtower, crossed his chest, and murmured, "O God! What will the Japanese warships appear here for? What do they want to do? ”

When the merchant ships discovered the Japanese fleet, they themselves were discovered by the Japanese fleet. The two frigates immediately pressed towards the merchant ships, and the distant ones waved their flags and kept them still. Pisher reacted quickly, and while he ordered the stop, he asked the first mate to immediately send a telegram to the shipping company to report the situation.

Naturally, this merchant ship was detained by the Japanese without exception, but because the captain Pischer reported to the shipping company in time, the whereabouts of the Western Expeditionary Fleet were not a secret.

Ouyang Yun learned the news three days later. At this time, the United States has turned the world upside down. It is not a secret that Japan has a naval military base on Chuuk Island, and because geographically speaking, the base is the closest to the Philippines, which is a colony of the United States, which naturally arouses the suspicion of the Americans, who believe that the target of the Japanese fleet is precisely the Philippines.

Not to mention how the Japanese explained the attempt of the Western Expedition Fleet by the Americans, just Ouyang Yun's reaction. He immediately found the map of the World Realm, and then stared at the map and froze.

Ten minutes later, just when the naval officers were worried that the commander-in-chief might have fallen into the magic barrier, he slapped his hand on the island of Sumatra and said, "Dog, what a calculation! ”
