"Oh! Fack! Roosevelt's head exploded at once, and this wave was simply killing him, and he lost so much that he didn't even have his pants left. Even if the United States is so fat that it can't afford such a huge loss!

"Mr. President, please stop your anger!" "Mr. President, please take care!"

Looking at Roosevelt's painful expression, Hull and other military and political dignitaries hurriedly spoke comfortingly, really worried that Roosevelt, who was not in good health, would not be able to withstand this blow. "Okay, I'm fine! After taking several deep breaths in succession, Roosevelt gradually calmed down, and then asked, "What about the oil depot, grain depot, and material warehouse on the island?" Stimson glanced at Roosevelt, then cautiously continued: "

In this raid, the Japanese not only had a large number of combat planes, but also a large number of transport planes, and directly airdropped the marines to seize the oil depot and grain depot, and also dispatched the army to seize the beach and land on the island. These actions completely exceeded our expectations and plans, and we were caught off guard.

Therefore, the defenders failed to destroy the oil depot, grain depot and material warehouse on the island in time, and the 4.7 million tons of heavy oil, 2 million tons of grain and a large number of military supplies, weapons and equipment stored on the island have been completely received by the Japanese army! "Oh! Fack! What could be worse than that? Roosevelt couldn't help but burst into foul language again, and his emotions became extremely agitated again! However, just when Roosevelt was about to have a heart attack, Stimson continued to mend the knife:

"In addition, the dockyard repair yard on Oahu was also fully taken over by the Japanese army, in other words, once the Japanese salvaged the battleship in the sunken port, they had a better chance of repairing the battleship and putting it into service again." "Even-bought karma! Doesn't this mean that the Japanese are very likely to come and fight us in the future with the Enterprise, Lexington, Saratoga, Pennsylvania, and Arizona? When the time comes, let the American people die at the hands of ships built by their own country? ”

Roosevelt's eyes rolled, he didn't know what to use to describe his terrible mood now, his blood pressure soared, his lungs were overinflated, and there was about to explode! "Mr. President, I'm afraid that's the worst." Stingcheng sighed, and said helplessly: "Now we can only hope that the battleship that was sunk by the bombing is seriously damaged, and it is best to completely lose the possibility of repairing it and putting it into service." ”

"Even! Shet! Roosevelt slapped the table again in frenzy, just now he was thinking that the Pacific Fleet would survive a few battleships or something, but now he wanted to blow them all to pieces and not be able to rebuild them! This is simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo! After a while, Roosevelt relented and asked the crowd: "We still have a few outlying islands such as Oahu, and we still have thousands of American troops fighting in the war, so I want to ask if the Hawaiian Islands can still be defended?" We don't have a chance to counterattack yet? ”“……”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and no one answers for a long time, because this question is too difficult. The Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, and now the planes on Oahu are exhausted, and the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago has also been captured by the Japanese army, and the fact that the Hawaiian archipelago cannot hold is already lice on the bald head, obviously. The answer to the question is clear, the Hawaiian Islands are absolutely undefensible!

As for the counteroffensive, it would be even more foolish to dream, even if all the Atlantic Fleet was transferred back, it would not be an opponent of the Japanese Navy at this stage. If even the last of these ships were defeated, I don't know how serious the consequences would be, and the United States mainland would most likely suffer a direct attack from the Japanese and would not be able to fight back. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Roosevelt already knew the result, but he still looked at Stimson with great unwillingness and said, "Is there really no possibility of counterattack?" ”

"Mr. President, it's really impossible." Sting nodded stiffly, then explained, "The Hawaiian Islands are two thousand nautical miles from the west coast, which is too far from the mainland!" At such a long distance, it would not only take a long time to transport troops and supplies there, but it would also be easy to be attacked by the Japanese fleet, and the risk was too high! ”

After a pause, Stimson continued: "Although Oahu Island and several other outlying islands are still under our control, they are no longer able to return to the sky, and it is not surprising that the defenders of several outlying islands will soon announce their surrender. If the Japanese army takes advantage of the victory to pursue, the garrisons on Guam and Midway will not last too long, and sooner or later they will surrender! "What about Australia?"

Roosevelt frowned, sighed lightly, and said: "If Australia, which is more than 7 million square kilometers, falls, Japan will leap from a small island country with a small territory and poor resources to an intercontinental power on a par with the Soviet Union and the United States." In this way, it is possible that the struggle for living space between Japan and its Asian neighbors will come to an end, and Japan will be able to truly concentrate its efforts on fighting us. Such a consequence can make people's backs hair just thinking about it! ”

Hull nodded in agreement: "Yes, if the Japanese take a continent from the whites, then it will become large enough and powerful enough, and there is no need to "lose Europe and the United States and take East Asia"!" It is even possible that the Japanese will become the leaders of all the yellow countries, causing a change in the entire world pattern.

Therefore, I also think that we must defend Australia with the British, so that we can use Australia as a base for advancing and start a decisive battle with the Japanese in the Southeast Asian theater, interrupting the worst-case scenario! "That's right, we have to defend Australia!" Roosevelt nodded, then he looked at Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and said:

"The Navy must send enough supplies and troops to Australia and Asia in the near future to enable it to independently resist a Japanese invasion with the temporary interruption of maritime communications." Knox said embarrassedly: "Mr. President, the fall of Hawaii is a foregone conclusion, and the shipping route to Australia is not very safe. Even if the Atlantic Fleet participates in the escort, the United States does not have the ability to send reinforcements and supplies to Australia, which is a great challenge! ”

Roosevelt glared at Knox and asked in an unkind tone: "Do you mean that because of fear and sacrifice, we can only watch these despicable and shameless Japanese invade the overseas territories of the United States, slaughter American soldiers, and let them continue to grow?" "This ......," Knox was speechless, because he couldn't continue at all.

At this time, Marshall, chief of the general staff of the US Army, said in a deep voice: "This is not the case, as long as Your Excellency the President makes up his mind, there is no suspense that the great United States will defeat the Japanese!" "Make up your mind?" Roosevelt frowned and said, "Do you still think that I have not made up my mind to start an all-out war with the Japanese?" If that were the case, I repeat, an all-out war with Japan was inevitable, and my resolve needed no doubt! ”

"Mr. President, I don't mean what you think! I have never doubted your resolve! Marshall smiled apologetically at Roosevelt and said, "I mean, if Your Excellency the President is determined to fight a decisive battle with Japan at all costs, then we can move the Atlantic Fleet to the Pacific and put all our land forces into the Southeast Asian theater."

Then in less than three years, the United States will defeat Japan without any suspense! Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese army, the Pacific Fleet was destroyed, the Hawaiian Islands fell, and Japan achieved a great military victory, but it was not enough to reverse the huge gap between the United States and Japan! After a pause, Marshall glanced at Roosevelt and said, "However, in this way, the strategic policy formulated by the United States to put Europe first and then Asia may be difficult to realize!" ”

"No! Absolutely not! Roosevelt shook his head again and again, and said in a resolute tone, "It is extremely stupid for the United States to put up its core interests in Europe and abandon Europe for the sake of Asia!" The European battlefield was already in danger, and if the Germans annexed the Soviet Union, the whole of Europe would become the world of the Germans, and the Germans would become the most terrible enemy.

The German chariots will definitely cross the Bering Strait, and then the United States will have nowhere to go, and such terrible consequences will not be allowed! "Mr. President, if this is the case, the plan of starting a decisive battle with Japan in Southeast Asia with Australia as a forward base will not be implemented." Marshall sighed lightly and said: "Australia is too far away from the mainland of the United States, it is easy to be attacked by the Japanese fleet, if we don't go all out, the end will be doomed!" ”

At this time, Hopkins of the Ministry of Commerce nodded and agreed: "Yes, Europe is the focus." Our plan is to give priority to solving Germany! "Europe first, then Asia" was a national policy that was set before the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor War. But at that time, no one expected that Japan would open a plug-in and not only destroy the Pacific Fleet, but also capture the Hawaiian Islands!

Roosevelt glanced at Hopkins and frowned: "But now the situation has changed significantly, and the meaning of the fall of the Hawaiian Islands and the fall of the Philippines is completely different. Now that the Japanese have extended their tentacles to the Pacific Ocean, if they occupy Australia again, with a steady stream of material and human resources, the United States will be attacked by the Japanese, and may even be defeated by the Japanese! ”

"The United States will be defeated by Japan? No way? Our industrial strength is many times stronger than Japan's, and even if the Pacific Fleet is gone, as long as we use our industrial machinery with all our might, we can build enough ships in a short period of time! Hopkins looked at Marshall, Stimson, Knox and other Navy and Army bigwigs in disbelief. There is such a danger! Once the Hawaiian Islands fall, the Japanese will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Guam, Midway, Wake Island, Johnston Island, and other islands will fall one after another.

Control of the entire Pacific Ocean will fall into the hands of the Japanese, and without these strategic fulcrums, it will be difficult for the United States to turn the tide of war in a short period of time, even if it builds more warships. Marshall nodded and explained: "Because there is no such strategic fulcrum, the US Navy's transportation lines in the Pacific will be exposed to the Japanese fleet and combat aircraft!"

In turn, the transportation lines of the Japanese from the Japanese mainland to Australia to the island of Hawaii will be protected by the heavily defended island chain of Japanese troops. We have no other way than to use submarines to strike at Japan's transport lines. Once Hawaii becomes a base for the Japanese to advance, the coastal ports of the continental United States will certainly be attacked by Japanese fleets and submarines. In that case, it would be too bad, the American war machine would not be able to run at full speed, and over time, the strength of the enemy and the enemy would shift! ”

"Even! Shet! Doesn't it mean that Australia has to be saved? And what about the European theater? The British are anxiously waiting for American aid, waiting for the United States to join forces to attack the German army in North Africa! ”

Hearing this, Hopkins began to catch the hurry, this is really a dilemma between wolves and tigers! Secretary of the Navy Knox shook his head and said: "The Japanese are now strong and morale, while the US Navy's Pacific Fleet has been completely wiped out and the Hawaiian Islands have been lost. At this time, if the United States forcibly started a naval battle with the Japanese army, it would definitely pay an unbearable price, and the gains really outweighed the losses. ”

War Secretary Stimson nodded and agreed: "It is indeed unrealistic to fight the Japanese army across the sea at present, and it is very difficult to have Australia as an advance base!" What's more, the Japanese will definitely not sit idly by, most likely their next offensive target is Australia, with the combat effectiveness of the British and Australian armies, it is only a matter of time before Australia falls! And we are out of reach now, even if we use all our strength to rescue Australia now, I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Roosevelt spread his hands depressedly and said, "Then what should I do next?" Doesn't it mean that there is no way to deal with the Japanese at all, and they can only bite the bullet and follow the original national policy of Europe first and then Asia? Roosevelt was extremely depressed, and he really hated the lack of military power, and when he accidentally destroyed the Pacific Fleet, he lost control of the entire Pacific Ocean and fell into an extremely passive situation.

I knew that it would be like this, and Roosevelt would not do business with the Japanese even if he was killed, and used strategic resources such as oil, scrap iron, and rubber to feed the Japanese Empire one bite at a time! In recent years, the United States has indeed made a lot of war money from the Japanese, but now it has to spit out all of a sudden even the profits. Now I obviously see that a great threat is approaching the United States step by step, but there is no way to counter the Japanese, and use strong strength to let these despicable and shameless Japanese get the end they deserve as soon as possible!

"Mr. President, there is still a way." Marshall said at this time: "Although the United States really has no way to deal with the Japanese now, we have strong and reliable Chinese allies, and as long as we operate it well, we can completely drag down Japan, or even defeat Japan!" Roosevelt's eyes froze and said, "You mean to arm China with all your might, so that the Chinese people can become a decisive battle with the Japanese?" ”

Marshall nodded: "The most feasible plan to deal with the Japanese at present is to aid China as much as possible, so that they have enough strength to start a frontal battle with the Japanese." As long as China sends troops to Burma as soon as possible, delays the pace of the Japanese army's integration of the whole of Southeast Asia, and gradually launches a counteroffensive from the Southeast Asian battlefield, this can cause strong military pressure on the Japanese and slow down the speed of the Japanese growth! Roosevelt frowned, and asked in a skeptical tone: "But, does Huaxia have that strength?" So far, they have lost nearly half of the country, and they have been beaten by the Japanese so that they can't hold their heads up! ”

Marshall replied confidently: "Since the September 18 Incident, the Chinese allies have been fighting with the Japanese army for nine years, not only have a tenacious army and a large number of excellent commanders, but more importantly, the Chinese people have formed an irresolvable blood feud with Japan!" Therefore, Huaxia is the best military ally of the United States at present, and as long as it can firmly unite and arm Huaxia, it will definitely be able to delay the pace of the Japanese offensive! ”

After listening to Marshall's explanation, Roosevelt asked in surprise: "General Marshall, I didn't expect you to know so much about Huaxia?" Did you have such an idea and investigation a long time ago? "No, no, no, Mr. President, this is thanks to Major General Stilwell, who is the American military strategist who knows China best!" Marshall waved his hand and said, "If Mr. President wants to hear a more detailed plan, I can call him to the conference room right away and explain it to you personally!" ”

From the summer of 1924 to the late spring of 1927, Marshall served as the chief staff officer of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army in Tianjin, where he learned Chinese. At that time, Joseph Stilwell was the commander and acting chief of staff of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the US Army in Tianjin, and the two men had known each other for a long time and established a considerable friendship. "I see, let him come to the meeting now!"

Roosevelt nodded, he naturally knew that Joseph Stilwell had served in China for many years and knew the national conditions of China very well, so he could be said to be an out-and-out Huaxia expert. Professional things naturally have to be done by professionals. "What? The US Pacific Fleet has been completely destroyed, and the Japanese have occupied the island of Hawaii? No, it's not a joke, is it? ”

Due to the time difference, when Jiang Qiang received the urgent telegram from Meng Wuan, it was already the morning of December 26. After reading the information deciphered by Tingting herself, Jiang Qiang was directly stunned, knowing that most of the little devils would be bold to attack Pearl Harbor recently, but he was far from expecting the butterfly effect to be so awesome.

In another time and space, the Japanese devils made fatal mistakes one after another, only achieving limited tactical victories and inflicting major trauma on the American fleet. In this way, the Japanese gained a temporary advantage in the Pacific theater and swept a large part of Southeast Asia, but completely angered a terrible giant, making Japan completely towards a point of no return! In the current historical plane, the Japanese directly opened the plug-in, and did not make a fatal mistake again, not only simply wiped out the Pacific Fleet, but also unexpectedly directly captured the island of Hawaii.

"This butterfly effect is also awesome, and I don't follow the script at all, how can I control the field after calling my brother?" Jiang Qiang only felt that there were 100,000 grass and mud horses running wildly in his heart, and this time it was really a big game! The American Pacific Fleet is finished, the Hawaiian Islands are gone, and the Japanese devils will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture a series of Pacific island chains such as Midway and Hiroshima, and firmly control the control of the Pacific Ocean.

The Americans have basically lost control of the Pacific theater, and it is simply impossible for the US Pacific Fleet to start a counteroffensive in just eight months, as in the original history. Half a year after a fierce battle, he gained the initiative in the Pacific theater. It is even very likely that Japan will capture Australia, which is more than 7 million square kilometers, in that case, the Japanese devils will really get rich overnight, and the consequences will be so serious that you can imagine how serious it will be.

Seeing Jiang Qiang's solemn expression, he didn't say a word for a while, Yuko Kitajima couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly asked, "Jiang Qiang, is this really serious?" "It's tricky indeed!" Jiang Qiang nodded, and then said to Wu Juan: "You immediately ask Wang Qiang to convene a military enlargement meeting, and let all the officers above the brigade level of the whole army participate."

The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., and you can come and hear it then, and I will have an important decision to announce! "Okay!" Yuko Kitajima nodded, and immediately turned around and walked out of the commander-in-chief's office. ……

At a time when the White House in Washington, D.C., is in a gloomy fog, the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, is full of joy and excitement. After receiving an exciting report from Yamamoto Isoroku, Emperor Hirohito could no longer contain his inner ecstasy, and urgently convened an enlarged meeting of the Imperial Palace at the Imperial Palace, and summoned all the military and political ministers to the Imperial Palace for a meeting.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, God bless the Empire, God bless the Empire! The Imperial Japanese Army won a great victory, an unprecedented victory! As soon as the meeting began, Mitsumasa Yonechi, the Minister of the Navy, trembled and excitedly shouted the good news to Hirohito. Yo West! Hirohito nodded happily, and then said with a smile: "Minai-kun, I already know that the Imperial Japanese Army has achieved unprecedented victories, but I and Zhujun now want to know the specific results!" ”

"Yes, Minei-kun, hurry up, we can't wait!" "That's right, don't sell it at this time!" "Minei-kun, you're not so excited that you don't even speak, are you?" "Minai-kun, you won't be afraid that the Great Japanese Empire won't win this battle of national fortune now, right?" "Hahaha!"

As soon as Hirohito's words fell, the military and political ministers of Kanin Miyashihito, Tojo Hideki, and Yuasakura and Hehei laughed arrogantly, and the atmosphere of the whole venue became extremely relaxed and happy. "Hello!" Mitsumasa Minai paused, and said loudly with irrepressible excitement in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although the final results have not yet been fully counted, there are several brilliant results that can already be determined. ”

After softening his tone, Mitsumasa Yonechi continued: "First of all, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has been completely wiped out, and the Imperial Japanese Navy will have no rivals in the vast Pacific Ocean, at least for a long time to come,"

Second, the main islands of Hawaii and Oahu had fallen into the hands of the Japanese Empire, and several other outlying islands were just around the corner. The oil depots, grain depots, and supply depots stored by the United States in Hawaii and Oahu, as well as dock repair plants, power plants, hospitals, and other facilities, have been completely taken over by the Imperial Army! According to estimates, the oil depot stores at least 4.5 million tons of heavy oil, and the grain depot stores at least 2 million tons of grain.

In addition, there are more than 50,000 automatic rifles, 5,000 assault rifles, 300 heavy machine guns, 8 million rounds of ammunition, 500,000 artillery shells, and a large number of medicines! "Yo Si! Kill the pretty! Hirohito's face was ecstatic, and his five fingers clenched his fists and waved forward heavily, he really didn't expect the Americans to be so fat, this big fat meat was so delicious.

"That's great!" "God bless Yamato! God bless Yamato! "The Great Japanese Empire is prosperous!" "Onboard! Onboard! ”

Hearing this, a room full of devils and military ministers couldn't help but scream, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly reached a new climax. I haven't opened for three years, and I've been open for three years, I have to say that this is indeed an exciting and brilliant result!
