Chapter 235: Occupying Hawaii, the veil of mystery gradually opens
The White House in Washington, the White House at night, the lights are bright, and the figures are in a hurry.
In the Oval Office, many generals of the U.S. Department of Defense and the military gathered.
Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor has been passed by Congress, and tomorrow the United States will officially declare war on Japan, and the war has already begun.
However, just when the United States was actively preparing for war, all communications with Hawaii were suddenly cut off, and Hawaii could not be contacted at all, and the current situation in Hawaii was completely unknown to the White House and the Department of Defense.
Throughout the afternoon, a number of planes sent to Hawaii were all lost, and there was no news from many warships bound for Hawaii.
Hawaii is blocked, communications are cut off, and no one knows what's going on in Hawaii right now.
The bombing campaign that had been planned to retaliate against Japan was canceled, and the discussion of the war against Japan became a discussion of the situation in Hawaii.
Because according to the intelligence of the United States, one thing is clear, that is, the Japanese Combined Fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor had withdrawn to the North Pacific in the morning, and in the intelligence, there was no information about the Japanese landing in Hawaii at all.
The combined fleet dispatched by Japan did not use the forces and preparations that could land in Hawaii at all.
The continental United States has well-established radio communications with Hawaii, as well as submarine wired communication cables, and the only explanation is that Hawaii has changed and is most likely occupied.
But the world can't find a clear target for who will attack Hawaii.
Many high-ranking US military generals believe that the most likely is Japan, otherwise there will be no force in the Pacific that will be able to invade Hawaii.
Most people in the United States are noncommittal about this, because according to intelligence, Japan is not prepared for this.
President Roosevelt had a new idea, and based on the situation on the battlefield in Europe, he looked at Donovan, the director of the Intelligence Coordination Bureau, who had just walked in.
The latter held the intelligence document in his hand, nodded to Roosevelt, coughed, attracted the attention of everyone present, and then said: "Mr. President, generals and ministers, the incident of the occupation of Hawaii, perhaps we can get the answer from the changes on the battlefield in Europe in the past six months. ”
Nimitz, who attended the meeting, said directly: "You won't say that the Germans have reached out to the Pacific Ocean!" ”
Donovan shook his head and said, "The Germans don't have the ability to project troops into the Pacific, but this matter may have something to do with the Germans." ”
"Half a year ago, there was an astonishing change in the European theater, the air battle of Britain, which Britain had already taken the initiative, had a surprising reversal, first of all, all the secret radar stations of Britain were destroyed at the same time, which made the advantage of the air battle of Britain fall in favor of the Germans."
"For this reason, the British tried every possible way to find German hidden spies, but unfortunately, although they found some German spies, they did not gain much, on the other hand, a large number of important intelligence personnel in Germany and Europe were all secretly arrested by the Germans, making it difficult for us to get information from the Germans for several months."
"And Germany has also quickly adjusted the cipher code, and almost every half a month will change the cipher code, so that we don't have time to crack it, and the cipher that we have mastered has become invalid."
"The most important thing is that the Germans have a brand new bomber, which is a super bomber that we have no previous intelligence, according to the information we have obtained, this bomber is very amazing in terms of range, bomb load, and flight data, and our B-17 is completely incomparable."
"And the reason why I introduce these situations is because our intelligence officers have discovered a rather interesting thing, that is, these changes in Germany all appeared in the same time period, and in the follow-up information obtained by the hidden intelligence officers, one thing can be determined, that is, the German military industry does not have a producer of this bomber at all."
"You know, the bombers currently owned by the German military have a total of an astonishing number of 500, and they can easily cross the ocean, bomb Iceland and even Canada, and also bomb the hinterland of Russia and even farms in the rear of Siberia."
"Five hundred bombers, just to produce these bombers, the German aircraft industry, it will take at least a year or two, and interestingly, all the factories in Germany do not produce such bombers."
"Recently, we have discovered another important piece of information, which is that the people flying these bombers are not German at all, and the airport where these bombers are located is as secure as the Reichstag in Berlin."
Speaking of this in one breath, Donovan easily drew everyone's attention, took out a new document, handed it to Roosevelt, and then continued:
"Interesting intelligence is not limited to these German bombers, in the Atlantic, we have lost more than six million tons of cargo ships with the British president in the last month, and along with these cargo ships are dozens of our destroyers."
"When did the German submarines become so powerful? Not only were we able to find our fleet with ease, but even the destroyers were within target, which led to a three-quarters reduction in our cargo to England, and the British Isles were barely able to make ends meet. ”
"This piece of information in the hands of Mr. President is an astonishing piece of information obtained by one of our senior spies from the top brass of the German Navy at the cost of exposing himself."
Donovan didn't continue to speak, waiting for Roosevelt to check the information in his hand.
Seeing the content of the intelligence, Roosevelt was obviously stunned for a moment, this information is not very complete, but the information in it is quite amazing.
Even a figure like Roosevelt was shocked when he saw the information.
This made all the generals on the scene curious, what is the content of the intelligence?
"Maybe the enemy has really been found." Roosevelt put down the contents of the information in his hand and spoke.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Donovan spoke: "This information was obtained from the German submarine command, and the content is a mercenary report, which is intended to be sent to Hitler, summarizing the results and contents of the submarine warfare in the Atlantic in the previous month. ”
"In this report, mercenary submarines appear in the contents, and in the past month, Germany has dispatched less than twenty submarines to the Atlantic, but the number of submarines in the report is seventy, combined with the anomalies in the Atlantic theater, we have to suspect that in the Atlantic, there are at least fifty submarines, which do not belong to the Germans."
"According to this information, it can also be obtained that the five hundred super bombers of the Luftwaffe do not belong to the Luftwaffe at all, so there is information about non-German pilots, and there is also the fact that the strength of the Wehrmacht has changed amazingly."
As soon as Donovan's voice fell, someone asked, "This seems to be just speculation, and there is no conclusive information or evidence." ”
In response to such doubts, Donovan continued: "There are things that do exist, and this cannot be denied, even if they cannot be seen. ”
Roosevelt, who was sitting at his desk, said: "I believe in intelligence, and I believe in my intuition, maybe there are things in this world that we can't see, maybe there are really secrets that we don't know, but I believe that the so-called mercenaries will soon unveil the veil of mystery." ”
"So Mr. President, what should we do in Hawaii?" A general asked.
"Continue to figure out what happened in Hawaii, but I think we should quickly strengthen the forces at Midway, and the United States can't afford to lose Midway." Roosevelt typeset decided.
No one knows what is going on in Hawaii, and Japan is eyeing Southeast Asia and even the western Pacific region, and no matter who covets Hawaii, the United States cannot afford to lose Midway.
On the bright side, Hawaii may just be missing, but even so, the existence of Midway is quite crucial, because Midway is one of the rapid gateways to Southeast Asia for the United States.
On the worse side, if Hawaii is really occupied by mysterious forces, it will not mean that the Germans will also extend their tentacles to the Pacific, and the United States will also have less Hawaii in the future, which makes the United States need Midway even more.
So in any case, Midway must be firmly in the hands of the United States.
What's more, the worst-case scenario is that Japan is landing in Hawaii, and if Japan is allowed to occupy Midway, the United States will lose the initiative in the Pacific.
With Midway, the United States will not completely lose the initiative.
However, at this moment, the United States did not have a quick way to strengthen Midway, after all, the Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed at Pearl Harbor, and even the aircraft carriers were not spared.
The United States has lost the ability to take the initiative in the Pacific Ocean and does not have a powerful fleet capable of protecting ships from reaching Midway.
Strengthening Midway would be an adventure, and the main thing is that there are not many troops in the continental United States right now that they can leave for Midway right away.
This is also the problem that caused Roosevelt the most, although the United States can quickly build a large number of troops, but the army must receive military training, and it will take three months to six months at the earliest to form combat effectiveness.
Fortunately, the strong industrial production capacity of the United States did not make Roosevelt really feel helpless.
With a sufficient population and a strong industrial base, Roosevelt believed that the United States, which had burst out with all its potential, would defeat all enemies.
"After tomorrow declares war, prepare for a Japanese attack in Southeast Asia."
Leaving the last sentence, Roosevelt ended the meeting, as for the situation in Hawaii, the current US military strength in the Pacific region, can not change anything quickly, it will take time.
At the same time, the fighting in Hawaii had subsided, and all the islands of Hawaii were planted with the battle flags of the Red Guard, and more than 50,000 people of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy were taken prisoner, and more than 40,000 were killed in direct action.
Until the last gunshot fell silent, and the sound of radio was heard on the various islands of Hawaii, Hawaii was occupied and from now on, no longer belonging to the United States.
Hawaii will also enter the period of military administration from now on, but all civilians will live as before, except for the Japanese, of course.
However, according to the Provisional Military Control Act, the Japanese and Americans in Hawaii will not be allowed to contact outsiders, nor will they be allowed to leave Hawaii, and all Japanese property in Hawaii will be confiscated, all Japanese will be conscripted as laborers, and any resistance will be suppressed by force.
Early the next morning, a. The smoke of the night subsided a little, and the fires caused by the war were all extinguished.
A large number of corpses were burned in a centralized manner, and all the Japanese were forcibly controlled.
The gendarmerie unit of the Red Guard Regiment Expeditionary Corps began to conduct security patrols.
There were no riots in Hawaii, and field hospitals were placed in various cities to treat wounded civilians and, of course, wounded American soldiers.
No one in Hawaii knows which country this army is from or where it came from, but it doesn't matter to anyone living on the Hawaiian Islands at this moment.
It's just that the merchant ships of various countries are not allowed to leave Hawaii, at least not for a short time.
The United States has hoarded a large amount of military supplies on the Hawaiian Islands, and all fuel has become a munition for the Red Guard.
By the afternoon of the next day, the Red Guard engineering unit had already begun to work on the silent warships in Pearl Harbor, began to build more advanced radars, repaired the airfield, restored the facilities of the military port, and established an underwater defense network at the entrance to Pearl Harbor Bay.
Many of the island's inhabitants have been given jobs in an orderly manner, and at least they all need to survive here.
A large number of daily necessities have been transported to various towns on the island, and have been provided to the people at relatively low prices to maintain social stability.
The Americans, who are gradually settling down, are also beginning to accept their fate, although they all think that the American army will fight back sooner or later, but at least someone else is ruling for the time being.
By the afternoon of the next day, all the civilians dared to leave their homes, because it seemed really safe outside.
On the streets, peacekeepers armed with riot shields, shotguns, and riot suits can often be seen, leading military dogs to patrol the streets.
These blue landscapes have also become the most eye-catching scenery in the Hawaiian Islands at this moment.
Just as the Red Guard Expeditionary Corps was preparing to launch the next military operation, Fan Yize hurriedly returned to the base.
Because the iron curtain of the space where the base was originally located has disappeared.
The space where the base car used to be located is now only a floating island fortress, although the base has been transferred to another time and space, but the floating island fortress is still there, and that world is also called the main space by Fan Yize.
And at this moment, the cage that the main space closed the floating island fortress has disappeared.
