When Li Junhao, who was "recuperating" in the Baltimore manor, saw this information about the Japanese Navy, he knew that the matter had officially begun, and everything he should have done had already been done, and now he could only be a bystander, waiting to see the final result, and the only thing that made him difficult to let go of was the officers and men of the abandoned US Pacific Fleet and Pearl Harbor base, which made him blame himself very much!

At this time, the only one who understands his mood at this time is Xiaoyu, who has been with him, at this time, after more than two and a half years of experience, she has been very mature in character, and she has seen all the things since Huhai arrived in the United States, and she understands his emotional changes very well, and comforted him in private: "Brother Jun, didn't you say that the United States must go through this level to join this just war, compared to the millions of war victims who have sacrificed, Americans are already very lucky!" In saying this, she is treating Li Junhao as a Chinese.

Hearing this, Li Junhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and reached out to rub Xiaoyu's hair, this little girl has really grown up, and she will take the initiative to comfort herself, but she seems to have forgotten a little, her image and identity are typical Americans, this is guarding the monk and scolding the bald donkey!

was rubbed by him, Xiaoyu also reacted, and also couldn't help laughing......

The sudden disappearance of the Japanese Navy's task force has aroused strong concern among all countries in the world, especially the allied countries, which are worried that this fleet, which is currently among the world's top three, will suddenly appear at their doorstep.

For this reason, the forces of the intelligence front of various countries have been mobilized, and if anyone has counted, the density of radio waves in the atmosphere during this time should be several times more than before!

Among them, the most anxious is the United States, especially some people at the top, although they have made a decision, they are actually betting on the future war situation! At present, if things don't happen for a day, there will be a possibility of change, and the result is even more unpredictable, so it's no wonder if you don't worry!

On November 29, Admiral Leahy, the chief of staff of the White House, approached Li Junhao by confidential phone and claimed with some dismay, that despite all the efforts of the US Naval Intelligence and various intelligence units, the disappeared Japanese task force had not yet been found, which made them very disturbed......

Li Junhao understood what he meant, and the reason why the high-level people were uneasy now was not because they were afraid of the Japanese Navy's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, but because they were worried that this task force would suddenly attack the mainland of the United States, and that would be a mess of things!

He was still absolutely sure of this, so he comforted the admiral and reassured him that the target of the Japanese task force could only be Pearl Harbor, and it was impossible and incapable of running to the mainland of the United States.

Putting down the phone, he thought of a question that military fans had been arguing about in his previous life: There are more than 6,500 nautical miles from the Japanese mainland to Hawaii, and the ships in large formations sail at most 20 knots.

For the same reason, when formulating the plan for a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto Isoroku, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and his staff officers were also thinking about this question as best they could: How could nearly half of the Japanese Combined Fleet be covertly delivered to Pearl Harbor, 6,500 kilometers away, under the noses of the US military? ——

Not long ago, Jiang Anhua and others from Huhai had been arranged by Li Junhao to work in the CIA, FBI and New England battalions respectively, and only Sannu and Xiaohu and others were left by his side.

Through the information he found, he learned that in the current Pacific waters, the sea route from Japan to Hawaii can be roughly divided into two types: one is the southern route, which starts from Yokohama, passes through the waters of the Ogasawara Islands and Midway, and finally arrives in Hawaii; The second is the northern route, which requires a detour from the Tsugaru Strait to the east to the waters near Oahu and then directly south to Hawaii.

Among them, the advantage of the southern route is that the total range is shorter, only about 3,000 nautical miles, less time is consumed on the way, and the sea conditions are good, and the frequency of stormy weather is low. But there was a big problem with the southern route - it was the most densely populated area of international shipping lanes, and if the Japanese task force chose this route, the chances of being spotted by foreign merchant ships were extremely high, and they were unlikely to wipe out all witnesses. That is, there is a high probability of exposing strategic objectives.

The voyage of the northern route is almost twice that of the southern route, reaching 6,500 nautical miles, and from the end of November, the North Pacific Ocean is affected by the winter monsoon belt, the sea conditions are extremely bad, and it is very difficult for the fleet to sail and replenish; But the advantage of rough sea conditions is concealment – after all, not many merchant ships dared to brave the storms of December.

Li Junhao had watched several film and television works that specifically depicted Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and had also studied the battle situation in the Internet records, and knew that the mastermind who planned this operation was Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, who was known as the "gambler", and he never lacked the spirit of adventure, so in his plan, the Japanese task force would inevitably choose the northern route, which was more concealed.

The situation is certain, but what is the use? Now that the heads of government headed by Roosevelt have made the decision to take the blow, provoke the people, and thus participate in the great war, for the sake of the overall interests of the world situation, he is bound not to sabotage this decision, so he can only play his own war games in his study and on the charts, and he cannot even reveal any information to others!

Fortunately, there is still Xiaoyu to play wargames with him, but it is not too boring, which is a great comfort!

On December 1, Rist Rockefeller came to see him at the estate and brought him the financial statements for the first three quarters of this year's NOVA Industries, indicating that the company's prospects were excellent, but the current performance was not ideal......

Hearing his words, Li Junhao knew that this Uncle was disgusted with the United States, why didn't the United States enter the war, delaying them to make money! This kind of thinking should be the mentality of a "qualified" big capitalist!

Lister asked him, "Oger, is there any special reason for your sabbatical?" ”

Li Junhao didn't know how to tell him, so he said: "Lister, I'm really on vacation, because I'm going to be busy soon, and I will take a break in advance, all for future work......"

Well? Rist looked at him sensitively and said, "Og, is it about to start?" ”

Li Junhao nodded and said, "Ready!" We'll see you in a week! ”

"Got it!" Lister's eyes lit up suddenly, "I'll be ready to expand production when I go back...... Rest assured, I know confidentiality! ”

Li Junhao sighed in his heart: Is eating war dividends considered drinking blood?
