Speaking of this, Kimmel suddenly thought of something, turned his head and shouted to the staff behind him: "Order, all the submarines are dispatched immediately, leave Pearl Harbor, and attack the Japanese communication lines! Then the destroyers and light cruisers also left, Go to the west coast...all the battleships and heavy cruisers that can still move are stranded in the shoals and used as fixed batteries! All naval personnel who have no combat missions should report to the Marine Corps headquarters immediately, ready to accept new missions." After finishing speaking, he went on Said to Short: "I will hand over all the naval personnel who have no mission to you, and then recruit all adult men in Pearl Harbor who are not of Japanese descent. We will organize more troops as soon as possible to defend Oahu. And , Please the governor issue martial law and bring all the Japanese on the island under control!"

Although Kimmel had caught the Japanese by surprise, he did not completely lose his military judgment.He is very clear that the Japanese came from afar and it is difficult to last.And the United States will definitely do its best to rescue Hawaii.As long as he can delay in Hawaii for a while, the Japanese will definitely have to retreat in despair.

Besides, at present, the shallow pool of Pearl Harbor contains more than 8% of the property of the US Pacific Fleet. If the Japanese capture Oahu, it will not take long for them to recover these sunken or stranded warships and restore them. , Become a battleship of the Japanese Combined Fleet!And without the foothold of Oahu, it will not be so easy for the United States to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in the future.

Just as Kimmel was planning to fight a protracted defensive battle relying on the defense facilities and troops on Oahu Island, the third wave of Japanese air raid planes roared in again.

Chapter 0793 Admiral's decision (two) Churchill's determination

Wuhan, 1938 o'clock in the evening on November 11, 7.

Although it was already late at night, the Joint Operations Command Center of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces was still brightly lit, and two huge military maps hung side by side on a wall facing east.One is a tactical map of the Pacific region, and the other is a tactical map of Western Europe and the Atlantic region.A lot of marks have been densely marked on the two maps.Especially on the Pacific tactical map, the ship symbols representing the Japanese Combined Fleet and the US Pacific Fleet are carefully depicted on it.A row of numbers is also marked beside the symbol to show the participating troops, battle results and losses of both sides.Although it is not very accurate, it is also the most accurate information that the intelligence system of the National Defense Forces can obtain through various formal and informal secondary channels.Through this map, anyone who is familiar with the military can see at a glance that the next target of the Japanese is the entire Hawaiian Islands!Because next to the symbol representing the US military fleet on the map, it is either marked with sinking or severely damaged and stranded. It is obvious that Japan's sneak attack has achieved an unexpected success!However, the victorious Japanese joint fleet still showed no signs of returning home...but pressed on to the Hawaiian Islands step by step.

At this time, Minister of the Navy Chen Sizheng was holding a baton, explaining the latest situation of the Pacific War to the stern-looking Chief of the National Defense Forces General Staff Luo Yaoguo, Defense Minister He Yingqin and some senior generals of the National Defense Forces.

Luo Yaoguo carefully stared at the Pacific Ocean chart, his thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly. As one of the planners of this world war, for the first time, he felt a kind of confusion and hesitation about the current situation that he had never had before.According to his long-standing strategic conception, he tried his best to avoid the United States from being involved in the war, and at the same time united with Germany to defeat the Soviet Union, Britain and France, and then seize their colonies.This strategy has been carried out very smoothly so far. If it is not for the sudden intervention of Little Japan to disrupt the situation, it will take at most one or two years, starting from the Arctic Ocean in the north, Oceania in the south, the Middle East in the west, and the huge empire (including the mainland and colonies) in the Bering Strait in the east. , Dependent States) will take shape!

But now, due to Japan's irrational and reckless actions, the United States, the most powerful industrialized country in the world, has been completely angered!The huge production capacity will soon become the largest arsenal in the world, and more than 1 million Americans can also provide enough cannon fodder for the current war.

Due to the joining of the United States, the originally clear situation suddenly fell into a fog.In history, Germany was not as powerful as it seemed, and was caught in the quagmire of fighting on two fronts by the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. It is indeed foolproof for the United States to choose to stand on the opposite side of Germany.But what about in this time and space?

The Soviet Union has now been broken by the joint efforts of China and Germany, most of its territory has fallen, and the Russian Empire has also been restored. The land that Stalin can control is only a corner of the Transcaucasus.Therefore, Germany no longer has the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. The Anastasia government in Russia will continue to sell various resources needed by Germany to Hitler for its own benefit.Therefore, Britain's blockade tactics have no effect on Germany at the moment.Moreover, Germany now has an initially developed first-class world power like China as an ally, so China and Germany are almost invincible.

Faced with this completely different world trend, will Roosevelt still be the three giants of the anti-fascist war?Or simply join China and Germany to carve up the world together?If that is the case, what will be the price for the United States to join the "Sino-German Iron and Steel Alliance"... Will Roosevelt be willing to let the United States only become the hegemon of North and South America?

Luo Yaoguo shook his head in his heart. North and South America have long been dominated by the United States. Even if the United States does not join this war, the United States can still sit firmly in the leadership of North and South America.And after completing the general mobilization, transferring production to wartime, and fully arming itself, how can the United States be at ease in being the leader of the Americas?And Japan's raid on Pearl Harbor just gave Roosevelt an excuse to fully arm the United States.Through the war with Japan, it is possible for the United States to get involved in Oceania, and even extend its tentacles to Asia!

If there were no irrational actions by Japan, China and Germany could wait until Britain and France were defeated, and then share with the United States.Without these two world empires acting as cannon fodder for the United States, it is obvious that the United States has no chance of winning if it is to fight against the entire world with its own power.And by that time, China's first atomic bomb must have been successfully trial-produced... Even if the United States is unwilling to "collaborate" with China and Germany, the world war can only end hastily, and China and Germany will be able to continue for a long time in the future. The years have preserved everything gained from this war.

But now... Luo Yaoguo let out a long sigh, stood up and was about to leave.I saw Natalie push open the door of the Joint Operations Command Center, walked in quickly, gave a military salute to Luo Yaoguo, and said in a low voice: "Just received the news that the Japanese battleships are bombarding the US military base on Oahu, look Wake up and they are really going to land!"

"Oh." Luo Yaoguo responded in a low voice, frowned, and hurriedly asked again: "How is the current situation in Honolulu?"

"There's chaos there." Natalie frowned, but she looked at Luo Yaoguo with a hint of sympathy.

Uh, Honolulu is theoretically the place where Luo Yaoguo was born, and he spent his childhood and youth there!So at this moment, Chief of the General Staff Luo also showed a worried look in the eyes of everyone.He sighed softly, and said, "It's a small town. There are quite a few Chinese people making a living there. I know almost everyone. I really don't know how many of them can escape this disaster?"

"Auxiliary Commander, you don't have to worry about the Chinese there, Little Japan doesn't dare to offend us." He Yingqin on the side hurriedly explained: "Now Little Japan is going to capture Hawaii, do you think we should send someone to talk to Japanese special envoy Shigemitsu Aoi? Let’s talk about aid? The Japanese want us to provide oil, special steel, aluminum alloys and some non-ferrous metals, and the payment method is 10% in cash plus 90% in arrears.”

But Luo Yaoguo seemed to be still worrying about his second hometown, his face was full of worry, he sighed heavily, stood up and walked out with Natalie, when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head and said to Chen Si: "Give power to Long Tenghui and ask him to cooperate with the German navy. If Admiral Raeder is ready to go to war, the Chinese expeditionary fleet must go all out! There must be no delay."

Chen Si was taken aback when he heard the words, and after a while, he stood at attention and replied: "The humble officer must urge Commander Long and the expeditionary fleet to fight hard!"

Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly, and smiled at He Yingqin: "I'll go see Mamoru Shigemitsu again when the news of the British-German naval battle or the occupation of Oahu Island comes out. For now... let's continue to leave him alone!"

……

"The Japanese have landed in Hawaii, and these fiery monkeys have just landed on Akau Island!" A chunky, slightly hunchbacked old British man walked slowly into a room that smelled of old books and cigarettes. The smell of the office.He nodded towards an old man with a haggard face behind the desk who looked a bit at a loss. "The U.S. Pacific Fleet is finished. If Hawaii is lost, I am afraid the course of this war will be unpredictable! Perhaps the Americans will choose to ally with China and Germany..."

"Winston," the old man said calmly while smoking his pipe, "what should we do? Japan, an ally of the British Empire, launched a terrible war against the United States! How could they do this! How could they do this!"

"Mr. Prime Minister!" The chunky old man's voice was very serious, and he waved a slightly thinner arm vigorously twice. "The British Empire is going to fight! and only to fight, and we shall win, you know."

It turned out that the old man with a haggard face was the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, and this important conversation took place in the prime minister's office in the famous 10 Downing Street.And the chunky old man who talked to Prime Minister Chamberlain was the famous Winston Churchill in another time and space!Now he is the First Lord of the Admiralty of the British Empire, the real head of the British Navy.

"Of course we will win, I have no doubts about it!" Neville Chamberlain said, trying to control his emotions so that people would think he was still confident, but in fact he was already in a mess.

"Then please give me an order. The First Sea Lord, Sir Pound, assured me that the Home Fleet is now ready and can teach the Germans and Chinese an unforgettable lesson anytime and anywhere!" Churchill said here After a pause, he said: "There is another top priority. The British Empire has declared war on Japan as soon as possible! Because to win this war, we cannot do without the support of the United States, and now the United States is in need of help. If Standing with the United States at this time, the empire will definitely win the favor of the entire American people. Their favor is of vital importance to the decision-making of the U.S. government.”

"Declaration of war on Japan..." Neville Chamberlain hesitated.To be honest, because of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, the domestic public opinion in the United States has condemned the United Kingdom in the past two days!And China and Germany, which are opposed to the British-Japanese alliance, are considered by American public opinion as potential allies of the United States!If Britain and France do not rush to wash themselves at this time, I am afraid that Roosevelt will not be able to keep them.Chamberlain gritted his teeth, "Okay! Let's declare war on Japan. But, Winston, can we ask the United States to declare war on China and Germany at the same time?"

"No, no, Mr. Prime Minister," Churchill said, shaking his head, "we cannot make such a request, because it is impossible for President Roosevelt to persuade Congress to go to war against such powers as China and Germany, unless...we can destroy the combined Sino-German fleet and completely control the With the sea dominance in the North Atlantic and the North Sea, the empire will have enough power to send a part of its fleet to the Pacific Ocean to help the Americans fight Japan. Then the Americans will definitely choose to stand with the empire and fight side by side with Germany, China and Japan! For this reason, the local fleet It is necessary to launch a decisive battle with the Sino-German joint fleet as soon as possible, which is also the suggestion given to me by the First Sea Lord Sir Pound."

Prime Minister Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The armies of China and Germany are strong, and the British and French armies are probably no match!However, the powerful Chinese and German armies will not pose a threat to the United States, even the United Kingdom is not very afraid, after all, the United Kingdom is an island country.Only the top French government and army lamented about this day and night, and kept urging Britain to send more troops to help France fight.However, the British side put forward a condition for this. They wanted France's largest battleships, the "Richelieu" and the "Jean Bart", to sail to the English Channel to fight side by side with the British Navy.

"Did the French agree to send the battleships 'Richelieu' and 'Jean Bart'?" asked the old prime minister.

"Yes, the French have agreed, and now Italy has not declared war on Britain and France. So their two Veneto-class battleships will not pose any threat to France's hegemony in the Mediterranean Sea for the time being." Having said that, Churchill paused slightly For a moment, a look of trouble appeared on his face. "However, the French also put forward a condition. They want us to send at least 11 British and Indian troops into French Indochina before the end of November."

"Oh? Send 11 British and Indian troops before the end of November?" Chamberlain frowned slightly. 15+ Indian Assassins are insignificant to the British Empire, and it's no big deal if they all die.However, it is a bit troublesome to send such a huge force to French Indochina in just 10,000 days. It may be too late to mobilize from India.

"It can only be transferred from Malaya." Churchill gritted his teeth and reminded: "Now we have five British and Indian troops there, and we can transfer four into French Indochina."

"Then who should Singapore's defense be entrusted to?" Chamberlain always felt that something was wrong, shaking his head and asking.

"There's no way around that. After all, homeland security is more important. Even if Singapore is sacrificed in exchange for the two 'Richelieu's, it's still worth it!" Having said that, Churchill took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep puff. Breathing out a circle of light blue smoke, he blinked at Chamberlain again, and said: "However, maybe before our army arrives, the Chinese have already captured French Indochina! At least they will block the way to it." The sea line of communication, so that our army does not have to help the French defend the colony. Therefore, I suggest that Mr. Prime Minister agree to the request of the French." He emphasized again, "The two ships of the French The battleship is newly built, and it is also designed with the "Zhenyuan" class as an imaginary enemy. It has extremely strong defense capabilities, and its main armor can withstand the bombardment of the "Zhenyuan" class 7000mm main gun at 380 meters. If they have the same The Home Fleet will fight together, and Sir Pound assures me that the victory must belong to the British Empire!"

……

On November 1939, 11, while the US-Japan naval battle in Hawaii was still going on.General Long Tenghui, the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet, has just returned from Berlin to the temporary station of the Expeditionary Fleet, which is also the home port of Kiel, the newly listed German High Seas Fleet.What came into view was the busy port, with workers maintaining the ships and patrol boats shuttling back and forth.

The place where Long Tenghui got off was the battleship's berth, and six almost identical majestic battleships were quietly docking at the pier.Their solid and thick shells and thick 6mm main gun barrels are even more murderous and full of confidence in the cold sunshine of the Baltic Sea winter!Now three of the six battleships are flying China's blue sky and white sun flag, while the other three are the German flag with a black cross on a red background.Just after the Great Battle in the Gulf of Finland, the Chinese expeditionary fleet was ordered to hand over their battleship Jingyuan to the German Navy to pay part of the money China owed to Germany.Now this battleship has been renamed the "Mackensen" battleship and has become one of the three capital ships of the German High Seas Fleet.

Suddenly, four hill-like aircraft carriers approaching slowly in the distance caught the attention of General Long, and saw them file in one after another, sailing into the deep-water piers on the side in turn.Especially one of the huge aircraft carriers made Long Tenghui involuntarily take a deep breath.

"That is the aircraft carrier Friedrich der Grosse, I mentioned it in the report. It was secretly built in the 5-ton dock of the Germania Shipyard in the Port of Kiel. The standard displacement is 4 tons, and the full-load displacement It is more than 5 tons and can carry 90 aircraft. This figure is nothing in the Pacific Ocean, but it is remarkable in the North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean! This ship has just completed outfitting early last month and is currently undergoing sea trials. "

The person who spoke was Admiral Yu Yanshou, the deputy commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet who came to greet him, and he was different from Long Tenghui, who was active in the top German ranks and served as a senior diplomat.In the past year or so, he has basically never left the fleet, and spent most of his time in the port of Kiel. He has long been acquainted with the senior generals of the German High Seas Fleet, so he naturally learned more about the situation.

"Then the Germans have been waiting for it to launch in Europe for a long time." Long Tenghui looked at the huge hull of the Friedrich der Grosse, swallowed, and said with emotion: "The industrial strength of the Germans is really not good. We are comparable, such a large aircraft carrier came out in the blink of an eye. It seems that this battle with the British is a little more sure!"

"Oh!" Yu Yanshou whispered, "Brother Xingguo, so our expeditionary fleet is going to go out soon?"

Long Tenghui nodded, with a serious look on his face, "Hitler's order has come down, he wants the German navy to find an opportunity to fight the British mainland fleet as soon as possible! It should be able to fight by the end of this month at the latest. The assistant commander also ordered Let's attack with all our strength and cooperate with the Germans to fight this battle well!"

Chapter 0794 Admiral's decision (three) strange alliance

"Haha! Could it be that Hitler wants to imitate the Japanese and also come to attack Scapa Flow?" Hearing Long Tenghui's words, Yu Yanshou laughed loudly:

"Now the German aircraft carrier force is not weak. They already have four heavy aircraft carriers, namely the Earl Zeppelin and Peter Strasser with a displacement of 2 tons, and the Seydlitz with a displacement of 2 tons. No., the Friedrich der Grosse with a displacement of 2 tons. Among them, Zeppelin and Strasser have 4 aircraft, 40 Junkers Ju18 Stuka and 87 Bf-22. Seidlitz can carry 109 Aircraft, Ju48 and Bf-87 each have 109. The Friedrich der Grosse can carry 24 aircraft, of which Ju100 has 87 and Bf-60 carries 109. In addition, the Germans will also have 40 oil tankers, the Euro, the Elbe The HMS and the Gneisenou were converted into aircraft carriers, among which the Elbe has been completed. The standard displacement of this aircraft carrier is nearly 3 tons, and the number of aircraft on board is the same as that of the Seydlitz, which is 27000. This aircraft carrier is now also in Going to the sea trial, it is estimated that it will not be long before you can join the High Seas Fleet."

"Five aircraft carriers, 276 carrier-based aircraft." Long Tenghui shook his head after counting with his fingers, "The Japanese used nearly 600 carrier-based aircraft on seven aircraft carriers to attack Pearl Harbor! The sneak attack was successful only when we were careless. The British guys have been wary of us for a long time, and now they have declared war, probably with 12 points of energy to guard there. I am afraid we will not succeed if we want to sneak attack."

"Hehe! If we don't sneak attack, we have a good chance of winning even if we open it up." Yu Yanshou shook his hand indifferently, and said confidently: "We and the Germans have six 4-ton battleships and five battleships. Aircraft carrier. According to intelligence, the British home fleet now has sixteen battleships or battlecruisers, but most of them are old goods left over from World War I. Except for the battlecruiser Hood, the battleship Nelson and Rodney Except for the USS battleship, there is not much threat to our six Zhenyuan-class ships. And their aircraft carrier is even worse. Although there are six aircraft carriers, there are only more than 250 carrier-based aircraft on them. As for the British The carrier-based aircraft is far inferior to the German Ju-87 and Bf-109, so once the war starts, the air supremacy is entirely on our side. Moreover, the place where we engage the British fleet should be within the combat radius of the German Air Force. Therefore, there will be more Air Force aircraft to assist in the battle, so we are sure of this battle!"

While speaking, Long Tenghui and Yu Yanshou had already boarded the huge battleship Zhenyuan surrounded by a group of senior officers of the expedition fleet.In the large conference room, a map of the Beihai area was hung high up. Colonel Jiang Jingguo, the deputy chief of staff of the expedition fleet who arrived with Long Tenghui, took a pointer and walked to the edge of the map.

Seeing that everyone has done their job in turn, Jiang Jingguo began to introduce: "According to the orders issued by the General Staff and the Ministry of the Navy, our expeditionary fleet will temporarily accept the command of the German Empire's High Seas Fleet and fight side by side with them. Now declare the German Empire's High Seas Fleet Fleet Commander Admiral Raeder’s order.” Having said this, Xiao Jiang paused for a moment, then emphasized his tone, and said loudly: “The battleship Zhenyuan, the battleship Dingyuan, and the battleship Ningyuan are assigned to the battleship detachment of the High Seas Fleet. The commander of the squadron, Admiral Lu Steyan, is under unified command and ready to attack at any time! The rest of the expeditionary fleet is assigned to the aircraft carrier squadron of the High Seas Fleet..."

"...this naval operation plan is part of the 'Wessel Exercise' plan. The plan is mainly divided into two parts: [-]. Attack and occupy Denmark and Norway to prevent Britain and France from occupying Norway first, thereby cutting off the German Empire from Sweden. The road to import iron ore. The main task of the German High Seas Fleet (including the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet) in this part is to cooperate with the German Army and Air Force to seize the Port of Oslo.

5. To destroy or repel the incoming British and French fleets, the primary goal is the home fleet of the British Royal Navy!Strive to sink at least 2 British battleships or battlecruisers, and at least [-] British aircraft carriers to weaken Britain's maritime supremacy.At least the local command of the German army in the North Sea must be guaranteed.The High Seas Fleet will assume the main responsibility in the second part, and the German Air Force will do its best to cooperate with the German Navy in accordance with the order of the Head of State Hitler. "

……

On November 1938, 11, in Tianjin, the largest commercial city in northern China, an army wearing blue-gray military uniforms, red five-pointed stars inlaid on the big-brimmed hat, and bright red Communist Party flags and Red Army flags in front of the team appeared!This kind of marching team is pouring out from Tianjin Railway Station, and there is a train full of officers and soldiers in the same clothes roaring from the northwest.And in Tianjin Railway Station and the main streets of downtown Tianjin, there are still many officers and soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Forces with live ammunition.The steel gun in his hand was also tightly gripped.It seems that they are always on guard against any sudden revolutionary action against Tianjin, the largest bastion of the bourgeoisie in the north, by the army that can be seen at a glance as the revolutionary army of the Communist Party!

These troops transferred from the Northwest one after another are the Southward Army sent by the CCP, but now they have a more resounding name-the South Asian Army of the Communist International!It is said that these people are real communist fighters. They all participated in a three-month special training before going out. They have greatly improved their ideology and military technology. They should be fully able to take on the responsibility of liberating the people of South Asia. Great mission.
