Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, the largest air raid since World War II is drawing to a close.In a sugarcane grove east of Pearl Harbor, in the middle of dense sugarcane poles pointing to the sky like sharp swords, at a distance of [-] to [-] meters, there were two planes that were still smoking.

A few Caucasian men wearing Panama hats nervously held their rifles and surrounded them from the path beside the field.

"Hey, come out! Come out quickly, or you'll shoot!" The leader, a fat middle-aged American, shouted a few times and fired a gun into the sky at the same time.

There was no response from the plane.

"George, Rock, Anderson, you go to the right, Maury, Jack, Lula, come with me!" Fatty America took the lead and rushed towards the larger-looking plane, when the four jumped onto the wing together , When aiming the loaded rifle at the cockpit, it was found that it was empty.

"Uncle, blood, there's blood here!" A young man's voice came from the small plane.

"Over there, they're heading for the sugarcane fields!" Another American with a beard shouted excitedly.

The American fat boy sniffled: "Lula, you report to the Coast Guard, others follow me! Catch the yellow-skinned monkey!" At this time, in the sugarcane field less than 200 meters away from the plane, Liu Yun and the rear An observer is helping Gao Xinxin to flee deep into the sugarcane field.

"Miss Gao, hold on!"

Gao Xinxin's face was pale, and the wound on her shoulder continued to ooze blood. The sprained foot during the emergency landing dragged down her movements, and the severe pain made her twitch uncontrollably.

"You shouldn't have come down, I will only drag you down..."

At this time, Liu Yun was still smiling: "Don't say that, it was because I was not good at technology, I dropped the plane, and it hurt Xiao Li."

"It doesn't matter to me, Second Lieutenant Liu's decision is my decision." Xiao Li couldn't wait to express his opinion.

"Fool! How can you not fall when you make a forced landing in such a place, you think this is the airport of the base! Ouch..."

"Second Lieutenant, re-bandage Miss Gao, it's not going to go on like this!" Seeing Gao Xinxin's face getting worse and worse, Xiao Li became a little anxious.

As soon as the words fell, there were loud shouts and gunshots from the sugarcane field where they made an emergency landing just now.

"Someone is chasing you, run away! Xiao Li, put Sister Gao on your back and go first. I'll cover you." Liu Yun said, pulling out the [-]mm automatic pistol from his waist, and loaded it with a click.

"Liu Yun, you..."

"Don't worry, I can protect myself—Xiao Li, what are you still doing, take Sister Gao away!"

Suddenly, a man blocked the way of the three of them: "Where do you want to go." He spoke Chinese.

Liu Yun raised the pistol subconsciously, but someone grabbed his wrist. When the other party exerted a little force, Liu Yun couldn't hold it up. When he let go, the gun fell into the other big hand of the man.

Xiao Li and Gao Xinxin were about to draw their guns, but saw that the man had put the pistol against Liu Yun's fair forehead.

"Don't move. I'm Shen Zui, vice-captain of the 31st Special Operations Brigade of the Imperial Security Bureau. If you want to survive, come with me... What, is it a woman?"

"What's wrong with the girl?" Liu Yun was still not convinced.

The Chinese man in a tattered straw hat and dressed as a sugarcane farmer smiled slightly, pressed down the safety with his thumb, swung his hand, and the gun slipped, and there was a rapid crackling sound, accompanied by the soft brass shell casings falling onto the field. A few tall and fat figures behind Yun suddenly fell down.

"It's nothing, it is my bounden duty to protect beautiful women."

At 12:25 pm EST on December [-]th, Washington, White House.

On several sofas in the Green Room, President Johnson and his military advisers sat around.In his first annual report to Congress after the enactment of the gunpowder-filled Morgan Act, he declared: "We have always considered a strong navy to be our proper and natural means of defence. . . . In the future, as in the past, make yourself strong at sea."

With his encouragement and urging, the U.S. Navy changed from its previous sluggishness. Large-scale shipbuilding plans were passed one after another. The plan to increase naval reserve personnel was put on the agenda, and the construction of the Panama Canal, San Diego base, and Pearl Harbor base also began. .

"The United States may be able to occupy the moral high ground, but if the other party ignores our morality for a while, then we have to use battleships and guns to defend our freedom and justice, and force them to find their conscience, in order to achieve justice and conform to the common principles of human beings. Moral peace.” Johnson’s speech in Congress can be understood more as a declaration of war against China.

It is precisely because of this belief that when he learned that the Chinese Pacific Fleet was stationed in Marshall, Johnson immediately approved the naval main fleet to be stationed at Pearl Harbor Base, "to show our strength and determination, and drive the Chinese back to the negotiating table." Thinking of it, the other party actually launched a despicable air attack and destroyed half of the fleet with those unrefined toys.

"The fleet must retreat immediately, and as many warships as possible must be withdrawn. If the main fleet is completely destroyed, the entire Americas will fall under the iron heel of the Great Chinese Federation."

The military advisers were worried, as if the dragon army would enter Washington tomorrow, repeating the atrocities of the British burning the White House in 1812.

"Please ask the President to submit a request to Congress to declare war on China as soon as possible, and make a short speech to the people to clarify the situation."

Secretary of State Rusk looked gloomy, probably still fuming over the fact that the Chinese special envoy handed over the declaration of war this morning.

"The Chinese have chosen war, and they will pay the price," Johnson said angrily, before ordering his secretary, Glenn Mitchell, to petition Congress for a declaration of war.

"The Philippines and the Philippine Islands south of the international median line have also been attacked. From this point of view, the enemy's target is the entire Pacific Rim region. We should immediately contact Britain and France to attack the enemy on both sides." Rusk emphasized again.

"In this way, the Third World War may break out, but China now far surpasses Nazi Germany at the time. Whether our strength can stop China's pace is still unknown. Besides, our start is so unfavorable—— —This is destined to be a long war of attrition.” William Benson, the most senior active-duty admiral in the Navy, lamented, “We must act immediately to reverse the situation as soon as possible and regain the initiative. It is recommended to establish a naval operations department as soon as possible to unify Responsible for the operational command and campaign planning of the fleet to meet the needs of the long-term war in the future... But in any case, we will have to live through a dark period."

"Yes, a dark time, hopefully not darker than we are now imagining - power Halsey immediately and tell him to withdraw to the West Coast as soon as possible!"

Dragon's Roar Chapter 964 Declare war on the United States

At noon on December 12 local time, in the waters near the Langelap Atoll at the northern end of the Marshall Islands, a huge fleet had just completed formation and was heading to the Hawaiian Islands in the northeast in twelve columns to participate in the final battle in Hawaii. A troop amphibious landing force has finally set sail!

The entire fleet is a total of 132 ships, carrying nearly 10 marines and their equipment: including 8 motor vehicles, hundreds of artillery pieces, and half a year's supplies.Due to the drag of the low-level landing ships in the formation, the overall sailing of the fleet was less than [-] knots, and it was scheduled to arrive at Oahu Island in [-] days.During this period, after the main force and the mobile force have completed sweeping the waters around Oahu Island, they will turn around and join the landing force to coordinate the final step of this operation and land on the Hawaiian Islands centered on Oahu Island. .

Commander of the Fourth Pacific Fleet, Lu Han, who sits on the flagship of the landing force "Hurricane", is standing on the upper terrace of the bridge with Liu Guanxiong, the commander of the escort fleet.

Lu Han couldn't help sighing wryly: "Ziying, the general trend of the world is vast. If you follow the trend, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish. Now it seems that following this general trend is my dynasty."

Liu Guanxiong smiled slightly: "You are too optimistic."

Being called "too optimistic" by Liu Guanxiong, Shen Xingyi doesn't mind, he has his reasons for optimism, and the self-confidence that "is not blindly optimistic". "Ziying, you have seen the secret drill of our Marine Corps. I dare say that the Americans can never imagine our new landing tactics. What do you think? It will not be a problem to wipe out Hawaii in three days, right?"

Liu Guanxiong nodded with his hands behind his back: "Yes, judging from the exercise, it is indeed an amazing serial combat method, and it should be very effective if it is used in actual combat-but this is not what I am worried about."

"Worried that you may not be able to defend if you attack?" Lu Han immediately guessed what the opponent was thinking.

"According to the results of the first two waves of attacks by the First Fleet, I think the remnants of the US Fleet are bound to withdraw to the West Coast in batches to preserve their strength for future counterattacks. The US industrial strength is very strong, and it will be able to make up for the losses within a year or two. Battleships, at the same time, will also accept the lessons of this surprise attack, strengthen the fleet's air defense and vigorously develop the carrier-based aviation... The moment that will really determine the outcome of the war will be in a year or two. If you still cannot win a decisive victory on the mainland , the empire is likely to be dragged down by a long-term war of attrition on land and sea."

"So, we want to try to send a large army to land in the United States and take away their lair?"

At this moment, Admiral Halsey in Pearl Harbor didn't want to spend any more time. After the third batch of enemy planes flew away, he hurriedly changed boats and rushed all the way to the Governor's Mansion to meet with the Governor and the commander of the garrison. "Hey, General Halsey, you can't just leave us like this!" Governor Murray begged.

Halsey didn't want to look at each other: "Unfortunately, I just received an order that the fleet will go back to defend the west coast immediately."

"Then who will defend Hawaii?"

"Army, General Sculley's army will be responsible for the defense of Hawaii, General, I think you have received orders."

Lieutenant General Scully, the Hawaii defense commander, nodded helplessly: "Yes, I have received the order, but are you going to leave immediately? All evacuated? Leave nothing behind?"

"We will not take away the things in the warehouse on the shore, and it is too late. You can use them according to your own needs, but please be careful not to leave them to the enemy. Before we leave, we will destroy the pier and block the channel with sunken ships. Your family members can also Come with us..."

"Did Uncle Sam just abandon Hawaii like this?" Governor Murray wailed in an unsound way.

"We'll be back." Halsey said pretending to be strong.

At 2 a.m. Beijing time, when the city of Beijing was still submerged in the deep night, thousands of miles away, the First Fleet Air Attack Team flew to Pearl Harbor. The young staff officers of the Naval Staff Headquarters were so excited that they threw dozens of military caps and cheered like a wave.

At [-]:[-], Prime Minister Liang Qichao passed on the imperial decree and delivered a radio speech, announcing: "The U.S. government is greedy for the joy of colonial slavery, refuses to share the kingly way with the empire, and upholds human justice. Instead, it strictly implements a policy of hostility to the empire. Suppressing our trade with unequal treaties, splitting our alliances with despicable means, threatening our coastal defenses with cannons and ships, paralyzing our people with drugs and opium... We have no choice but to go to war with the United States! At the same time, at the request of the oppressed nations, the empire will act as king In order to eradicate all brutal and unfair colonial regimes on American soil, liberate the enslaved and oppressed nations, and uphold justice in the world, the Pacific Fleet will immediately march to the Philippines, Chile, Cuba, Panama and other places!"
