Chapter 1037: Climbing a New Mountain 1208

With the war potential of the United States, even if the entire Pacific Fleet were completely destroyed, it would not have a fatal effect, it would only take a little more time to repair and rebuild, and the industrial capacity of the United States would be more than ten times that of a small industrial country like Japan.

Of course, the purpose of the Combined Fleet's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was to paralyze the combat effectiveness of the Pacific Fleet and buy time for himself.

Han Lin quickly reported the intelligence to Chen Yanji, who reported it to President Jiang, and then the Shancheng government issued a warning to the American side through the embassy in the United States.

At half past five in the afternoon of December 6, the war room of the aircraft carrier Akagi.

"Report to the commander, Commander Yamamoto sent a telegram, climb the new high mountain 1208." Minoru Genda said as he entered the war room.

Up to now, dozens of ships of the mobile unit have maintained absolute radio silence and have only received but not sent reports, which has also made the monitoring of radio signals in the United States useless.

"The order to attack has been given, you immediately inform the ground crews of the air force to get ready, and finally check the planes, as well as the submarines of the special attack force, check the machines and torpedoes, according to the plan developed in advance, the attack will begin at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, the fate of the empire, in one fell swoop, you kings, work hard!" Nagumo said as soon as he looked at the message.

It took nearly two hours for the plane to take off and arrive at Pearl Harbor, and the reason for this arrangement was also to give the Japanese embassy in Washington time to declare war, which, according to international law, must be declared before an attack can be carried out.

It's just that no one thought that there was a huge mistake in a simple matter, and that the embassy's translators were insufficient, and they were unable to quickly parse the message, resulting in a situation in which the sneak attack was in the first place and the declaration of war was in the rear.

Beginning on 5 December, under the arrangement of the Japanese Navy Ministry and the Military Command Department, all 3,000 cadets of the Etajima Naval Academy dressed up as officers and men of the Combined Fleet to carry out activities in downtown Tokyo to create the false impression that the main force of the Combined Fleet was still on the mainland.

The headquarters of the Military Command Bureau is stationed.

Mao Renfeng, Wei Daming and several division chiefs were smoking and drinking tea and chatting in the conference room, and they were very relaxed and waiting for Boss Dai to come back.

Wei Daming's special technology research laboratory finally deciphered the secret telegram of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and obtained the top-secret information that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor, the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet.

As the door of the conference room was pushed open, they hurriedly stood up to greet Boss Dai when they saw him walk in.

"Boss, what do you say about this commission?" Mao Renfeng hurriedly asked.

"Just now I went to the Huangshan official residence to report to the commission, and told me about the results of our Military Command Bureau's deciphering of the Japanese cipher code, and the commissar was very pleased with our efforts and praised a few words, but the problem is that the commissar showed me a document, it turned out that as early as four days ago, we had just intercepted the secret telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Han Lin had already submitted accurate information to the commission."

"In the early morning of 7 December US time, the mobile unit of the Japanese Combined Fleet will carry out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, where the US Pacific Fleet is stationed. This news, the commission sent a telegram to the embassy in the United States, asking the ambassador to inform the US government, and Han Lin also notified the US embassy in Shancheng. Boss Dai said helplessly.

It was not that the Military Command Bureau did not work hard, but they found and seized the opportunity, Wei Daming and Jiang Yiying showed great competitiveness, and they were able to decipher Japan's top-secret telegram in such a short time, which was unimaginable in advance for the Special Technology Research Office.

But even so, the result was still four days later than the secret service, and the international intelligence organization behind Han Lin was so energetic that people felt desperate.

"Alas! This time, Brother Wei lived up to expectations, and with the backbone of the special technology research laboratory, he stayed up for three days and three nights, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and finally deciphered the telegram of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, obtained extremely important strategic information, and seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Originally, I hoped that this outstanding performance would allow the commission and the US government to see the great value of our Military Command Bureau and get the opportunity to regain development, but unfortunately, our efforts were messed up by Han Lin again, and we have no grievances, can't he let us go once?" He Zhiyuan sighed and said.

"As far as the facts are concerned, it is impossible for Han Lin to make concessions on this kind of matter, we can see the opportunity of a war between Japan and the United States, and want to seek support and support from the United States, he has always cooperated with the US Naval Intelligence Agency, and he sees it more clearly than us."

"And I listened to the people in the chamberlain's room, the commission attaches great importance to the intelligence of this war between Japan and the United States, and gave Han Lin an order to get accurate information, and you still think that he will give the Military Control Bureau a chance, this idea is too naïve and unrealistic." Boss Dai said.

He felt that He Zhiyuan's words were a bit naïve, not at all like the level of the director of intelligence, let go of the Military Command Bureau once? Why?

The Military Command Bureau and the Secret Service are currently in a competitive relationship, and it is impossible for Han Lin to harm the interests of the Secret Service in order to take care of the Military Command Bureau, and if the Military Command Bureau occupies an absolute advantage, he will also not leave opportunities for the Secret Service and will not be involved in the future development of the organization, and there is no human favor to talk about.

"I hope that this Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor will be unpredictable in the implementation process, breaking Han Lin's record of zero mistakes." Mao Renfeng said.

"Since you know that he has zero mistakes, the variables in intelligence must be small and small, such an important long-distance attack, undertaking such an important mission, unless the Japanese naval fleet encounters wind and waves and dies at the bottom of the sea, it will definitely launch an attack on time."

"Han Lin has provided so much strategic information over the years, even if there is an accident, it will not affect his status, let's wait and listen, once the Japanese army launches a sneak attack, it is estimated that the Shancheng government will soon get the news." Boss Dai said.

Just when the Military Command Bureau did not achieve its goal and was looking forward to the change of things, Han Lin was nervously counting and instructing, and kept calling Chen Yanji.

"The Shanghai Intelligence Station reported that the gunboats Lotus and Toba, which belong to the Shanghai Base Squadron of the Japanese Navy's fleet, sailed to the west bank of the Huangpu River south of the mouth of the Suzhou Creek this night and were ready to attack the British gunboat Patrick and the US gunboat Wick in the southeast. The Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps towed 150-millimeter howitzers to the vicinity of the Bund Park to prepare for firing at the British and American gunboats. ”

"The special intelligence group reported that the 38th Division under the 23rd Army of the Japanese Army secretly assembled near the port city and prepared to occupy the port city."

With the news of the intelligence officers of various parties, Han Lin believed that there was no suspense about the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the mobile forces of the Combined Fleet and the outbreak of the Pacific War, and that if there was an accident in the sneak attack, the Japanese army would not assemble at the same time and prepare to attack the public concession and the port city in Shanghai.

Obviously, they were waiting for the scheduled signal, because on the 4th, Han Lin received information that the Japanese 25th Army had set off from Sanya by boat.
