I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Although we now have 1600 carrier-based aircraft, at least half must be used to continue participating in the Battle of Oahu and defend against the land-based aircraft of the Chinese army on the island!"

Kincaid said: "Fortunately, although the seven temporary field airfields that we started construction on Kauai Island, Maui Island, and Hawaii Island at the same time have been destroyed by the Chinese, two or three of them have already achieved preliminary results. Combat capability, more than [-] land-based aircraft can be parked, thereby relieving the pressure on the carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, most of the land-based aircraft of the Chinese army on Oahu Island have been consumed after such a long period of combat!"

Nimitz pondered for a while, and ordered: "Then leave the Franklin, 2 Independence-class aircraft carriers, and more than 20 escort aircraft carriers to continue to participate in the Oahu battle, plus the two or three airports, we have more than 1100 troops. An aircraft is still on the front line of Oahu. Remember, no matter the aircraft carrier, the carrier-based aircraft escorting the aircraft carrier or our airport, the aircraft must be changed to fighter jets as the main force. In this way, although the bombing capability of Oahu is greatly reduced , but it can suppress Oahu's land-based aircraft to the greatest extent, and protect our fleet and ground forces from being attacked by Oahu's dive bombers, torpedo attack aircraft, and bombers.

More than 1100 aircraft, of which the ratio of 800 fighters can be maintained. 800 fighters are enough to prevent the dive bombers, torpedo attack aircraft, and bombers on Oahu from causing losses to our army.

Another 5 Essex-class aircraft carriers and more than 10 escort aircraft carriers, with a total of more than 800 carrier-based aircraft, are used to search and suppress the Chinese naval fleet! He looked at Halsey who was eagerly waiting for the order, "William (Halsey's full name is William Frederick Halsey Jr.), I know that the Chinese sneak attack has caused you a great shame , you are eager to take revenge, I have no doubts about your ability, will, and determination, but I am worried that you will be dazzled by anger.

Remember, although you have 800 carrier-based aircraft to deal with the Chinese 300 carrier-based aircraft, but you can not take it lightly or rush for quick success, otherwise, you will fall into the trap of the Chinese again!" Nimitz knows Halsey very well, Halsey is a soldier who belongs to the "violent general" type. He is brave and dares to fight. He is called a "barbaric bull" by his subordinates. At the end of the month, the navies of the United States and Japan broke out the largest naval battle in the history of mankind - the Battle of Wright Gulf. In this battle, Halsey was eager to make meritorious service, and he was caught by the Japanese army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. He chased and killed the Japanese army regardless of his head The decoy fleet put the U.S. landing fleet and transport fleet in great danger, and also caused Halsey's own fleet to be hit by a typhoon. The most ironic thing is that the typhoon caused more damage to the Halsey fleet than the Japanese fleet. Losses caused by the Ercy Fleet).

In his heart, Nimitz was worried about asking Halsey to "fight wits and courage" with the Chinese, but Nimitz knew that Halsey had a strong character, and if he was not allowed to "revenge himself", he would definitely find it difficult to accept and even suffer in the future. Mentally devastated.

Among the "main generals" under Nimitz's command, Spruance was the most resourceful and thoughtful, but Spruance was guarding against the Japanese army in the Southwest Pacific at this time.

Halsey stood at attention deeply moved: "Admiral, I will not let you down!"

After dispatching troops against time, Nimitz divided the fleet into two. The "staying fleet" was commanded by Lieutenant General Mark Andrew Mitchell, and Halsey was led by five Essex-class ships. The aircraft carrier, 5 escort aircraft carriers, 12 battleships, 3 heavy cruisers, and more than 3 light cruisers, destroyers, and transport ships formed the "Sortie Fleet" to search, suppress, and kill the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet.

"Although we don't know the specific location of the Chinese fleet, we can still grasp the approximate range where they are at this time!" Before the attack, Nimitz calmly analyzed, "Before the Chinese attacked us, two things happened. , It’s not a coincidence, it’s just our negligence. First, the Midway defenders suddenly lost contact with us for a while. Second, one of our submarines suddenly disappeared about 330 nautical miles east-northwest of Hawaii. Now it can be determined that , this submarine was sunk by the Chinese fleet that was approaching!" He marked these two points on the nautical chart, "The Chinese fleet wants to engage in guerrilla warfare and hide-and-seek with us in the North Pacific Ocean, but they have limited fuel Therefore, the Chinese fleet must be between these two points!" He poked heavily on the nautical chart with his finger, "Also, we also know that they are still waiting for an opportunity Want to sneak up on us a second time, so they won't be too far from Hawaii!"

"I see!" Halsey nodded solemnly.

Chapter 755 Fighting the Ocean (5)

In the south-central part of the North Pacific Ocean, the sky and water are the same color.

A U.S. SBD dreadnought carrier-based dive bomber is flying steadily at an altitude of several thousand meters. The pilot's blue eyes are wide open, trying his best to look into the distance beyond the limit of vision, and concentrate on performing reconnaissance and search missions ( During World War II, the U.S. Navy did not have a dedicated carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, which were generally served by SBD dreadnoughts).

Staring intently for a long time at the vast ocean, where there is almost no change in the scenery during the flight except for sea water, made the pilot feel physically tired and visually tired, but he still devoted himself to his duties and persisted meticulously, hoping to It was discovered earlier that the Chinese naval fleet had fled and disappeared after causing heavy losses to the U.S. military. However, when the plane’s fuel consumption was reduced to the amount required for the one-way return flight, the pilot had to turn around and return to the aircraft carrier. Still nothing but sky and sea.

"Damn Chinamen! Where the hell is their fleet?" the pilot muttered, turning around with disappointment and a kind of irritability that could not be vented.

"Where did the Chinese fleet go?" This question has almost become the standard greeting when senior officers of the U.S. Third Fleet meet each other and the only topic when the U.S. military's middle-level and lower-level officers and soldiers chat. As well as Nimitz, who is still on the front line of Oahu, down to the sailors peeling potatoes in the galley of the warship's bilge, they are all thinking about this question.

A fleet of more than a dozen [-]-ton ships is certainly huge, but compared to the vast ocean, it is completely a drop in the ocean.

The Chinese navy aircraft carrier fleet dispatched the carrier-based aircraft group to attack the US fleet at 4:30 am local time on April 4 in Hawaii. After the carrier-based aircraft group took off, the fleet immediately began to transfer. More than an hour later, the carrier-based aircraft group flew to the Hawaiian Islands. Then it violently attacked the U.S. fleet, and the attack lasted for about four to ten minutes; at about 30:10 in the morning, the attack ended, and three U.S. aircraft carriers were sunk by the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft group; at about 6:20 in the morning, Nimitz Directly sent a telegram to Roosevelt, asking how the fleet should fight next. At the same time, the U.S. military dispatched planes to search for the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet, but found nothing. At 6:40 in the morning, Nimitz received Roosevelt's instructions and orders; at 7:30 in the morning, Halsey led the US Third Fleet to search and pursue the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet.

As of this time, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet has "run away" for about four and a half hours, with a range of more than 110 nautical miles (equivalent to about 200 kilometers).

Purely from mathematical calculations, if the Hawaiian Islands are regarded as a point and a center of a circle, the Chinese Navy aircraft carrier fleet takes off at a distance of about 270 nautical miles from this point. If you evacuate in a straight line and back to the Hawaiian Islands, you have already reached a place about 380 nautical miles (about 700 kilometers) away from the Hawaiian Islands. Then, the US military needs to search for "half a circular surface with Hawaii as the center and a radius of about 700 kilometers." (The Chinese naval fleet is in the north of Hawaii, not in the south, so the U.S. military only needs to search half of the circular sea area and not the entire circular sea area.) In simple calculations, the area of ​​this semicircular sea area is as high as about 154 million square kilometers (700 kilometers × 700 square kilometers) km × 3.14), which is similar to the area of ​​the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. It is conceivable how difficult it is for the US military to find the Nanjing Fleet, and, as time goes by, the Nanjing Fleet "runs farther", The area of ​​the half-circle sea area that the U.S. military needs to search will also continue to increase, and the difficulty can be described as sesame seeds blooming steadily.

In the command room of the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier (the ship is the third ship of the Essex class), the flagship of the US 3rd Fleet, Halsey tried his best to restrain the anxiety and boredom in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and then thought about it: Although the sea is vast, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet is not without trace. Before they attacked their side, the USS "Mackerel" submarine suddenly disappeared, and Midway Island also suddenly interrupted communication for a period of time. The two events are just a coincidence. The nature of the mackerel is too low. The crash site of the Mackerel should be the place where the Nanjing fleet appeared. As for Midway Island... At this time, the US fleet in Hawaii used encrypted radio to contact there, and there also gave the correct reply, making Nimitz, Halsey, Kincaid and other high-level U.S. military officials speculated that there are only two possibilities for Midway Island. One is that everything is normal and the previous interruption of communication was just an accident. The U.S. radio stations and cipher machines in "normal contact" with the U.S. fleet in Hawaii are actually the Nanjing Army that occupies and controls the U.S. forces there.

Most of the high-level U.S. military think that it is only the former situation. After all, the possibility of the Nanjing Army attacking Midway Island in the vast sea without leaking a word is too low, and it is really unbelievable. After all, Midway Island has more than 300 aircraft and more than 2000 troops. The U.S. military, as well as the most advanced air-to-sea radar of the U.S. military, even if the Nanjing fleet raided there, the U.S. troops there would have enough time to send out warning messages, so that the entire army would not be wiped out or surrender collectively without saying a word.

However, Nimitz has never dared to rule out the second situation. He knows that "the Chinese like to take a slanted sword and come up with incredible means of war."

"I'm always worried about Midway Island. I always feel that there is a problem there. If there is a problem, the Chinese must have set a trap for us, and we will suffer another unexplainable defeat!" Nimi Zi was worried, "Halsey is searching for the Chinese fleet. The Chinese must have known that the Chinese army on Oahu must have notified their fleet. The two things are so closely connected that I feel uneasy!"

"Admiral, the simplest and most direct way is to send a squadron or several high-speed warships to check what's going on.

Midway Island is about 2100 kilometers away from Hawaii, and the warship drove there at a speed of 30 knots, and arrived in less than 39 hours!" Kincaid suggested.

"I thought about that too!" Nimitz said, "But after Halsey left, we only had three regular carriers here in Hawaii.

If we send battleships or cruisers to go, there is a real problem with Midway Island or the warship is ambushed by the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet halfway. The battleship or cruiser without carrier-based aircraft protection is just the target of the opponent, and we will lose the warship in vain. If an aircraft carrier is sent there, it will greatly weaken our air power in Hawaii, and it will cause us to lose sight of the other!"

"The only way is to let General Halsey go to Midway Island first!" Kincaid said.

Nimitz thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, if there is really a problem with Midway Island, we can just 'throw a stone to ask for directions' and 'lead a snake out of its hole'!"

"Admiral, what do you mean..." Kincaid asked in confusion.

Nimitz seemed to think of something, and his brain began to work eagerly: "Although Midway Island is small, it can park more than 300 aircraft, and 300 aircraft are still land-based aircraft with better performance than carrier-based aircraft. What? Means Midway is three or even four unsinkable aircraft carriers that don't move! The Chinese only have 4 aircraft carriers. If you add three or four more to them, will they still be afraid of us? No, they Instead, they will gain an advantage in strength and can attack us proactively! Midway Island, Midway Island..." He recited this word silently, his thoughts raced, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, "If I were a Chinese Commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, I will do the same... yes, I will definitely do the same! Because there is no other way to win! Our main battleships are gathered in Hawaii, and the distance between Hawaii and Midway Island is more than 4 kilometers , Midway Island is completely isolated, unable to reinforce each other with our fleet in Hawaii, and the Chinese fleet came here secretly. We don't know at all. Since they can catch us off guard in Hawaii, why? Can't they catch the local garrison on Midway Island first? First take Midway Island and control the local area, so that we won't notice it, making it a killer weapon in the hands of the Chinese, a secret weapon, and then attack Hawaii, and then deliberately Lure our pursuit fleet to Midway, then they will have 3 mobile carriers and 4 to 600 fixed carriers to participate in the battle! The number of aircraft has doubled to [-] and half of them are land-based aircraft that outperform carrier-based aircraft Airplane, when the time comes, Halsey and their identities will be reversed. Halsey is not a hunter, but the other party's prey! Yes! Yes! It must be like this! If it were me, I would fight like this !" He kept pacing, his emotions became more and more excited, his eyes radiated fiery fire, and his thinking was completely immersed in the purely military academic field, "This style of play is really clever! Linked together, connected step by step, it is completely leading the opponent's nose, although the strength is inferior, but always holds the initiative!"

Kincaid listened to Nimitz's guess as if he was talking to himself. Although he was very shocked, he was still dubious. After hesitating for a while, he said: "General, please forgive me, the Chinese really want to use this tactic. Although it is very subtle and has a very high chance of winning, but the major premise is still unavoidable. How did the Chinese manage to occupy the midway quietly and without leaking any news, so that the local garrison had no time to issue a warning message? Island? I have always had trouble imagining and believing that the Chinese could do this, there seemed to be no way to achieve this.

I remember that in the 80s, the British Association of Mystery Fiction Writers formulated the "Ten Principles of Mystery Fiction", one of which was that "Chinese people should not appear in the story". It is believed that some Chinese people have special functions such as qigong, acupressure, and magical Chinese Kungfu, so that they can realize "impossible crimes that cannot be deduced from the truth."

In fact, we all know that the Chinese, like us, have no special abilities.

Admiral, midway may not have happened at all, it was just a very common accident, that's all, the Chinese are not as smart as you think, maybe they are running at full speed now, celebrating what they have achieved The results of the battle, while guilty of fear that our fleet will catch up with them.

Killed our three aircraft carriers, but they did not lose any ships. They have won a big victory, which is enough to satisfy them. The next thing they need to consider is how to break through the Japanese sea blockade and return to China !"

Nimitz nodded: "You're right. If I think too much, I'll be acting smart instead. However, in war, especially when one's own strength is not as good as the enemy's, the most inevitable choice is to win by surprise. Since you want to win by surprise, you must It is necessary to keep the enemy in the dark at key points.

The Chinese like it the most and are very good at doing this kind of thing. The Japanese are our lessons from the past.

Tom (Kinkaid's nickname), think about it in another way, the Chinese have only 4 carrier-based aircraft on their 300 aircraft carriers, how can they beat our thousands of aircraft?If they want to win, they have to take the lead, and I can't believe they are on their way home now!"

Kincaid thought for a while and said, "Admiral, we actually have a more convenient way to confirm.

There is no need to send warships to Midway Island, but to send planes directly. Anyway, Midway Island has an airport.

The maximum range of our "Pirate" carrier-based fighter can reach more than 2500 kilometers, and the SBD Dreadnought dive bomber can fly more than 3000 kilometers away. Even the TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft can fly more than 2200 kilometers away , So, as long as you send a batch of planes to fly to Midway Island, you will know the answer in five or six hours at most!"

Nimitz laughed: "I just thought of it.

But, Tom, since we're trying to lure snakes out, we can't startle them, can we?What we need is to ask the way, and then follow the plan.

Don't the Chinese want us to be deceived by them?Alright, let's pretend we're being tricked by them!"

Midway Island, the general headquarters of the local US military, the communication room.

Lieutenant Colonel Alex Brown, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, looked at the man who was busy in front of his eyes with the same white skin, yellow hair, blue eyes, and even wearing the fake U.S. military uniform. These guys who belong to the Chinese army, he wants to struggle, but he can't struggle, one is because he is tied to a chair with five flowers, and the other is because he has lost the courage to resist.

Brown could never have imagined how these guys appeared on Midway Island. Midway Island is in the middle of the ocean. Except for Hawaii, there is no second island within a radius of at least [-] kilometers from Midway Island. What's more, Midway Island is even closer to China. It is as far away as the sky. How did the Chinese appear here?Brown had previously received an order to "beware of the Japanese." Like his superiors, he believed that the threat of the US military was the Japanese, and he was completely incompatible with the Chinese. Although the Battle of Oahu was fought by the US and Chinese troops, the It is impossible for the Chinese fleet to come here.

Brown still can't believe that the Midway Island he was in charge of guarding was lost so easily: those white Chinese soldiers literally emerged from the bottom of the sea, wearing American uniforms, speaking fluent American English, and having American hair. Outer skin, swaggeringly sneaked into the hinterland of the island from the edge of the island, using silent crossbows to deal with the US troops they encountered along the way one by one, and chatting and laughing with the target before solving the target, when Brown was thrown from the spring bed by the opponent with a submachine gun When he woke up, he was horrified to find that the entire vital area of ​​Midway Island had been controlled by the other party, gunshots were erupting all around, and those fierce and sturdy Chinese soldiers, each of whom could stand up to ten, were all over the island like wolves chasing sheep. Suppressing and killing his subordinates who did not surrender.

A Chinese soldier in a white coat that was as red as a butcher picked up a vise, moved his hands, and walked into the next room that was used as an interrogation room. , screams of pain.

"You are violating the international laws of war and the Geneva Conventions..." Brown plucked up his courage slightly from his companion's screams, and he protested tremblingly.

The international law of war expressly stipulates that one party to the war must not pretend to be the other party to the war.

That is to say, the tactic of "disguising as the enemy and infiltrating into the enemy's interior or rear for sabotage" that has been overused by the Chinese and Japanese troops on the Sino-Japanese battlefield and the Sino-Soviet battlefield is simply "illegal" behavior .

Of course, the Americans, the British and other European and American countries who formulated it took this provision of the international law of war seriously (the Germans also took it seriously), but the Chinese army and the Japanese army did not take this provision seriously at all, and Disregarding it, in the eyes of the eastern army, the tactics of disguising as the enemy is a matter of course. Who the hell takes the laws of war formulated by the Western devils seriously?What's more, it's already a war, and it's already life and death, so you still pay attention to the way of fighting?It's just ridiculous.

A yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed Chinese soldier in charge of interrogating Brown unhurriedly took a chair and sat down in front of Brown, shrugging nonchalantly: "Sorry, we are not soldiers, we are agents.

I believe you also know that secret agents do not pay attention to the international laws of war or the Geneva Conventions.

Lieutenant Colonel, I have a hundred ways to make you survive, this is my job, and it is also what I am best at!"

Amidst the increasingly heart-piercing screams of his companions, although Brown tried his best to maintain the dignity of the soldier, his body trembled involuntarily and became more and more obvious: "You... what do you want to do?"

The Chinese soldier looked at his watch: "It's almost time, Lieutenant Colonel, please use your password to send a telegram to Nimitz, saying that the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet was found near Midway Island. The specific coordinates are... If you don't cooperate , you know your result.

I sincerely hope that you can cooperate, otherwise, I will really sympathize with you!" He showed a sincere expression.

Brown immediately understood the other party's intentions, shaking like chaff all over his body.

(Dear readers and friends, I have the cheek to ask you for a few days off, because I have to solve marriage problems, thank you.

Chapter 756 Fighting the Ocean (6)

Roosevelt and Nimitz had a telegram conversation before the midway naval battle broke out between the Chinese and American naval aircraft carrier fleets:

Roosevelt: "William, where do you think the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet is now? Is it dangling near Hawaii? Or is it on the way back to China at full speed?"

Nimitz: "Mr. President, although we haven't found them yet, I am basically sure that they are still in the north-central Pacific Ocean centered on Hawaii and Midway Island at this time, just around us. Now, the range of this 'nearby' is as high as several thousand kilometers!"

Roosevelt: "How sure are you?"

Nimitz: "70.00%!"

Roosevelt: "William, you are indeed an outstanding military strategist. I know that you have analyzed this incomparably correct result from a military perspective. This alone is enough for me to think that the United States can have such an excellent military strategist. And feel gratified and grateful.

If you are 70.00% sure, then I am [-]% sure, yes, they did not return to China and are still hanging around you!"

Nimitz: "Mr. President, can you tell me why you are so sure?"

Roosevelt: "Of course, William, there are strategic, political, diplomatic, and character reasons as well as military reasons.

First of all, as you already know, the Chinese fleet has been dangling near you. Even if they don’t attack you anymore, their existence will definitely make you feel like a thorn in your back all the time. They have to guard against it, which forces you to deploy a large number of warships, especially aircraft carriers, to play a game of hide-and-seek at sea with them. They have reinforced their army on Oahu Island, so they don’t need to rush back to China, but participated in the Battle of Oahu Island without fighting; secondly, I believe you have also analyzed it, although the Chinese fleet can Launched a sneak attack on us through the Japanese sea blockade, but it was easy for them to come out, but it was difficult to go back. The Japanese fleet must be waiting for them on their way back home. There is only one result for them to go back, and that is to fight the Japanese. It is life and death. According to the comparison of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese navies at this time, and the Japanese have long planned and prepared, it is impossible for the Chinese to launch another sneak attack on the Japanese. Therefore, the battle between the two fleets can only be a decisive battle. China If the people lose, they will be wiped out. Although they can beat the Japanese with heavy losses, they will be wiped out. This result is definitely not what the Chinese navy, the Chinese government, and Jiang Weiguo wanted.

Although China and Japan are enemies, and although defeating Japan requires the Chinese army to go all out, in Jiang Weiguo's eyes, Japan is doomed to defeat, and it is not worthwhile for him to take the Chinese navy that he has built so hard, let alone the Chinese and Japanese navy. In the war, the entire Chinese navy was wiped out, and the Japanese navy suffered heavy losses. Who will be the ultimate winner?It's us.

Jiang Weiguo only wants to make China the ultimate winner, and will not do things that make us the ultimate winner.

Excluding the possibility that the Chinese naval fleet is returning home, the only remaining possibility is that they are still hanging around Hawaii; the third, and the most important and fundamental reason, is that the Chinese army is fighting us, including What is the purpose of the land and air battles at Oahu, and the naval battles their fleets and ours are engaged in?Jiang Weiguo's purpose is not to defeat the United States. He knows that China cannot defeat the United States. His fundamental purpose is to force the US government to give more things to the Chinese government at the negotiating table through military victory. He does not want to fight with us. Both sides suffer, "promoting peace through war" is China's strategy toward the United States, and "ending war with war" is China's strategy toward Japan.

Because of this, the enemy that the Chinese naval fleet needs to defeat right now is us, not the Japanese. If they don’t participate in the Battle of Oahu, which is directly related to the relationship between the United States and China, but run to fight the Japanese, wouldn’t it run counter to Jiang Weiguo’s fundamental purpose ?Today, what are the Japanese, no matter to us or to the Chinese?The battle that the Chinese army needs to win most urgently is not on the Korean peninsula, but in the Pacific Ocean!"

Nimitz: "Mr. President, your analysis made me feel very enlightened. Your analysis from the perspective of strategy, politics, and diplomacy just complemented the vacancy of my analysis from the military perspective. Now, I am also [-]% For sure, their aircraft carrier fleet is still near us and has not returned to China.

In addition, Mr. President, you said that you also analyze through the 'character angle'. With all due respect, what is the 'character reason'? "

Roosevelt: "'Character reason' is the character reason of Jiang Weiguo.

Now I know this young man of Chinese and Japanese mixed race very well. Although he is very smooth, he has an arrogant attitude. Jiang Weiguo wants me to give up more benefits to China, relying on a victory obtained through a sneak attack It can't be done, so what is a sneak attack?It's just a trick of a despicable, shameless, invincible villain.

Jiang Weiguo attacked me, even if he won, how could I be convinced by him?It just fills me with rage.

Based on Jiang Weiguo's character and this logic, I deduce that if Jiang Weiguo wants me to give up more benefits to China, he must convince me to admit defeat, and if he wants me to surrender convincingly, then he must Defeat me squarely on the battlefield.

William, this reason sounds a little subtle, and it sounds a bit idealistic and subjective, but I have no doubts, because I know Jiang Weiguo, so since their fleet wants to defeat our fleet with dignity, they must not have Let's go, prepare to fight us openly, the battle is far from over, that sneak attack is just the beginning of the battle!"

Nimitz: "Mr. President, I understand, thank you for your guidance!"

Roosevelt: "William, there are two sides to everything.

Jiang Weiguo tried to deter me and the US government through a major military victory, and I am the same. I also hope that my army can achieve a major military victory to deter Jiang Weiguo and the Chinese government.

At the beginning, we and the Chinese had to decide the outcome on Oahu, but now we have to admit that winning the battle of Oahu will require a lot of money and a long time, so we can retreat , might as well achieve a major victory at sea, that is, annihilate the aircraft carrier fleet of the Chinese Navy. After this battle is won, we can deter the Chinese government, and secondly, we can end the Battle of Oahu indirectly through political and diplomatic means. And regain the island of Oahu.

William, do you understand? "

Nimitz: "Mr. President, I understand!"

After closing the telegram sent by Roosevelt, Nimitz stared at several core senior officials including Chief of Staff Kincaid and Fifth Fleet Commander Mitchell beside him.

"The inference given by Mr. President not only further confirmed the correctness of my guess, but also reversely proved one thing I have been worried about!" Nimitz felt that his thoughts had suddenly become clear, "Midway Island.

Halsey is chasing and killing the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet with 800 carrier-based aircraft, and the Chinese only have 300 carrier-based aircraft. Under such circumstances, how can the Chinese defeat us through an "righteous contest"?Recklessly?There is no doubt that they will lose, so they must take Midway!Why?Because Midway is an immobile sea carrier!300 land-based aircraft can be deployed!With Midway Island, Chinese talents really have the capital to compete with us! With 300 carrier-based aircraft and 300 land-based aircraft, against Halsey's 800 carrier-based aircraft, the Chinese's odds of winning have been greatly improved!Yes, although we have no direct evidence that something went wrong with Midway, I am now absolutely certain that something went wrong with Midway, which is currently under Chinese control! (The performance of land-based aircraft exceeds that of carrier-based aircraft. If the Nanjing Army has 300 carrier-based aircraft and 300 land-based aircraft, a total of 600 aircraft will fight against the US military's 800 carrier-based aircraft, although the number is 200 fewer. However, it has been compensated for in quality. Therefore, although the Nanjing Army is still inferior to the US military in terms of strength, the gap is not particularly large, and it has the capital to fight the US military.

）

"Mr. President is really smart!" Mitchell said with emotion, "By accurately grasping the opponent's character and psychology, he has predicted the enemy's opportunity and mastered the opponent's military operations, which is amazing!"
