ACT485: Inglourious Basterds

Before the start of the operation, Yamamoto's greatest concern was not the safety of Nagumo's mobile force, but the declaration of war in the hands of the embassy in the United States. This is because the time when this thing is handed over to the US government will determine the nature of their operation, whether it is a "surprise attack" or a "sneak attack."

Therefore, when the liaison officer reported the situation of the "delay in the submission of the war letter" to Yamamoto Fifty-six, the other party's face suddenly swept away the previous joy. Because Yamamoto knew that they could no longer get the "righteousness" of war.

"Declare war first, attack later" or "attack first, declare war later" may not seem very different from each other, but the possible impact of the consequences is completely different.

The former is a dignified tactical surprise attack, even if Japan plays a clever trick in the details, but at least there will be no place for the truth, and the latter can only be regarded as a despicable and shameless plot. In this way, Yamamoto will not only fail to achieve the goal of demoralizing the United States, but will also arouse the strong indignation of the other side because of the undeclared war.

In the foreseeable future, it will be difficult for the United States and Japan to move to the negotiating table.

So Yamamoto Fifty-six pondered for a moment and asked the staff officer on the side.

"How's the progress on Nagumo's side?"

"Attack a qiē is very smooth, General Yamamoto! With only a few aircraft carriers and a few hundred aircraft, we completely destroyed the main forces of the US Pacific Fleet. The second wave of fighters has already begun to return, and as long as General Nagumo integrates the planes that can still be dispatched, they should be able to launch a third wave of attacks. ”

"Excellent! Nagumo was informed that the third wave of attacks must completely destroy Pearl Harbor. I don't mean to let them continue to strike at the American fleet, but to concentrate on destroying Shavier's divine core. ”

"But General Yamamoto, they shouldn't have destroyed the liquid bomb anymore."

"Then use acid bombs, use ordinary bombs, I don't care what they use, in short, the third wave of attacks must destroy the god core, so that the US military can no longer use Pearl Harbor!"

Yamamoto Fifty-six knew that after this battle. A full-scale war between the United States and Japan will be inevitable, and the situation has reached such a point that there is no point in holding back any longer. simply did not do anything, ruined the natural danger of Pearl Harbor, and cleared the way for the Japanese army's subsequent large-scale attack on Mars.

However, although Yamamoto Fifty-six's idea was good, it was a pity that he was not on the front line at this time, so he did not know the current actual state of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th air battles.

In terms of tactical results, this surprise attack by the Japanese was undoubtedly successful, and they inflicted heavy losses on the powerful US Pacific Fleet at a relatively small cost. Destroy the opponent's capital ship almost entirely.

But no matter how small the price is, it is also the price! Nagumo Tadaichi found out after checking the remaining combat power in his hands after the two waves of attack teams returned to the front and rear waves. In addition to the more than 20 planes that were damaged in the attack, more than 50 fighters that returned home were so badly damaged that they could no longer be dispatched again. Most of the pilots are also highly fatigued, so let them attack again in this state, I am afraid that many people will not be able to come back.

In addition, the reconnaissance force in the low-earth orbit of Mars has just reported that the US Atlantic Fleet stationed on the ground is showing signs of an urgent sortie, and more than a dozen light warships have already taken off and are rushing to Pearl Harbor.

Nagumo estimates. In six hours at most, the main force of the US Atlantic Fleet will arrive for reinforcements, and the air force will need about the same amount of preparation time to organize a third wave of attacks. At that time, only 2 King Kong class ships. It was difficult for them to withstand the retaliation of the US military.

Therefore, Nagumo thought about it again and again and decided to give priority to the order of General Nagano Shushen, the commander-in-chief of the military order...... Bring every aircraft carrier back safely! This is also a major feature of the Japanese army, while demanding absolute obedience from the grassroots soldiers, the officer class is all kinds of arbitrary.

So after taking in the second wave of attack teams. Nagumo Zhong overrode public opinion and led the fleet to quickly evacuate the scene. In the opinion of the other side, the Pacific Fleet is finished. It's the same with Pearl Harbor. According to past experience, only 200 milliliters of destruction solution are required to destroy a 50,000-ton high-level god core.

No matter how advanced Shavier was, she probably couldn't afford a whole ton.

But in fact, although Pearl Harbor was in a state of "great destruction" at this time, and most of its functions had ceased to function, the situation did not continue to deteriorate, and the most critical life support function was still operating with difficulty. While the surviving U.S. troops hurried to rescue the wounded, they sent a "special emergency team" to check on Chavier's condition.

The so-called "Special Emergency Response Team" is an independent unit of the US National Security Agency stationed at Pearl Harbor to deal with the serious incident related to Shevier. After the surprise attack of the Japanese army, this unit did not participate in any rescue work, but quickly sent an armed detachment on several patrol boats to the Sky Temple.

After entering the main hall, these armed soldiers, who were equipped with a full set of chemical defense equipment, came to Shavier's master bedroom with a stream of destruction liquid flowing all over the floor. The first thing that caught my eye was the huge white divine core. It hadn't completely turned dark gray, indicating that Shavier was still alive and hadn't fallen into suspended animation.

Soon, the soldiers found the dying Shavier in the corner of the main hall.

At this time, the goddess no longer had the grace of the past, the other party's eyes were blank, the original dazzling blonde hair had turned into a lifeless gray-white, and the surface of her skin was covered with terrible cracks, and she looked miserable and bad.

After the emergency team found Shavier, the leading officer only did a cursory inspection, then nodded to the others on the side, and the soldiers present tacitly began their "work".

Tearing down several fire hoses from their boats, the soldiers aimed their vents at Shavier's core. However, instead of the clean water that was used to rinse the destruction solution, it was another mixed solvent that also had a destructive effect on the Divine Core. With the contact between this liquid and the divine core, Shavier, who was already unable to move, once again had a painful spasmodic reaction, but all the American troops present turned a blind eye to it.

The officer leading the team took off his stuffy gas mask with him, lit himself a cigarette, and then grabbed the radio handed by the signal soldier and reported to the headquarters waiting for news.

"Hey! This is the NSA unit, the goddess is finished, and her god core has endured too much destruction liquid, I'm afraid it won't last long...... Okay, I understand...... Let's start evacuating! ”

After finishing the report, the officer threw the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground, and the other party looked at Shavier's miserable appearance, and a cruel sneer appeared in his mouth, and said in a tone full of mockery.

"Farewell, Miss Goddess." (To be continued......)
