A sharp alarm sounded inside and outside Pearl Harbor. On hundreds of warships of various colors anchored in the excellent natural harbor, tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers climbed onto their posts like ants. Low-ranking officers and soldiers who were leisurely vacationing on the island also rushed over in cars. The posture seemed to have been suddenly invaded!

Lieutenant General William Halsey, the commander of the newly formed Pacific Fleet's first aircraft carrier, immediately arrived in the bridge commander room of his ship "Enterprise" aircraft carrier. His serious eyes looked down through the portholes and saw that the young men arrived within the ships around him quickly within the scheduled time. He couldn't help but nodded slightly, and his tight cheeks eased slightly.

As if he guessed his thoughts, the Chief of Staff smiled deliberately and relaxedly: "William, are you worried about General Hart's decision? If you want to see, there is no need. We are not really going to war with the Chinese, it's just an unexpected confrontation! And we still have such powerful power!"

Lieutenant General Halsey narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm not that optimistic, George! Don't forget that our opponents never play according to common sense! God knows that they are ready to challenge the United States! The current Chinese navy is so strong that it is not something that we old warships can deal with! I always think that's not a good idea!"

George nodded in agreement. He was actually just for the old guy to feel at ease, and his real thoughts were as heavy as he did.

Before the Sino-Japanese Naval War, no one thought that China had been so powerful that it threatened the Western world. Overall, they had only six 35,000-ton platoon battleships, eight heavy cruisers, two pocket battleships, and forty or fifty destroyers, light cruisers, and unknown number of submarines. Amphibious landing ships and other things were not considered threats at all.

But as of the series of conflicts last year, the countries suddenly discovered that the combat effectiveness of each Chinese warship seemed to be far beyond their expectations! In the two battles with Japan, one main ship suffered no losses, but it brought losses to the entire ten Japanese ships! The gap is so big that it is shocking!

The most amazing one is the ten aircraft carriers they built in two batches!

Originally, all countries thought that the Chinese were just using 10,000 tons of cargo ships, and they were not considered mature ships at all. After all, in this era, including Britain and the United States, no country has finally determined the standard construction mode and tactical use procedures for aircraft carriers. Everything is being explored, but China has sufficiently rich combat experience and finally won. This difference is huge!

In particular, two models of China's aircraft carrier were born in just a few years. The largest one is said to have a displacement of more than 35,000 tons! Four ships! The total tonnage of ten ships is nearly 300,000 tons! The number of carrier-based aircraft exceeds 1,000! This is very terrible!

The number of warships of such a scale can finally be announced to replace Japan, which is the third in the world. In comparison, the US Navy, which has the largest total number of warships, especially the Pacific Fleet, will appear weak. If China is tempted and launched a sudden strike, I am afraid they will not be able to resist at all!

Under this situation, it is very wise to maintain friendship with China, but today the people above instructed to take the initiative to fight. God knows how much trouble it will cause!

George also knew that orders could not be disobeyed, especially when Congress and the President acquiesced to make peace with Japan, he shrugged helplessly: "Maybe some people were confused by the legendary interests! You know. The legends in the Eastern Pacific are now causing a lot of controversy!"

What he said was naturally all the strange encounters of the "Kasin". Now some people even claimed that the 10,000 tons of gold stolen by Britain and the United States were hidden there. There were countless treasures piled up by the Chinese in that cloud. If they could be occupied, they would be rich and could be as rich as a country at once!

Ten thousand tons of gold! This alone can lure people around the world into crazy and crime! Especially when placed near the United States, if they don’t snatch it, it’s too sorry for their natural geographical advantage!

William Halsey sighed lightly and said, "I hope some people are not blinded! Our aircraft carriers have serious lack of training and running-in, and it is difficult to play a role in joining the war in a hurry! I don't want to watch the young men be shot down one by one by the terrifying anti-aircraft artillery of the Chinese people!"

Up to now, the United States has built a total of six aircraft carriers, and the earliest two have basically no practical functions. The newly built "Enterprise" and "York City" cannot form combat effectiveness for the time being, which is a very bad situation.

Let’s look at other ships. Although there are at least six battleships and dozens or hundreds of cruisers and destroyers in Pearl Harbor, most of the models are old. The main ship has a maximum speed of only 21 knots, which is a headache to think about. This is too big compared to the ships that are generally above 32 knots in China!

"The Japanese are not a good thing! Their sudden warning is more like deliberately tempting us to have friction with the Chinese! I guess they may have suffered a big loss!" George raised doubts from the perspective of the Chief of Staff, although the information given above was very vague.

Lieutenant General Halsey raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he sneered: "This is almost certain! Those little dwarfs wish we could help restrain the Chinese people's forces, so they breathed a sigh of relief! The Chinese people made them miserable last year!"

George smiled in agreement and teased: "What I'm talking about! I heard that half of Japan was blown into ruins by the Chinese! In the north of China, they lost at least 300,000 troops, poor guy!"

Like most Americans, no matter how many people die in the war in Asia, George and Halsey will not feel sad. It is more like a live-action movie! However, compared to the cowardly Chinese people in the past, the Japanese who have been silly and want to squeeze into the Western world are even more annoying. They are simply like rogues. However, the Japanese are full of resilience and patience, and they are completely shameless. They can persist no matter how they insult or abuse them, and even actively extend their faces to let the foreigners beat them. It is really admirable to be so despicable!

Halsey twitched the corner of his mouth and did not make any more comments. He was silent for a while and said, "Just take care of our own affairs! I hope there will be no big trouble this time! Get ready to take action!"

The U.S. Navy Operations Department seemed to have expected it to be today. Just as General Hart announced the beginning of the operation, the relevant secret texts were quickly sent to the hands of the captains and generals of the fleet, more like they were tailor-made for them.

During the "Hawaii Heat Wave", a powerful enemy was originally set up to attempt to attack the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor. However, the intelligence was intercepted in advance. The Navy Command decided to take the initiative and take the initiative to go out to sea in advance with a powerful fleet, find the opponent's traces on the vast ocean, and give a head-on strike, completely annihilate, and eliminate the crisis invisible!

Such emergency operations naturally cannot be prepared slowly for several days, starting with the sound of the alarm. In just half an hour, six battleships including the Enterprise, the York City, the Lexington aircraft carriers, and the Arizona, the Nevada, the Tennessee, the West Virginia, the Maryland, and the Pennsylvania were formed, with nine cruisers, more than 20 destroyers, more than a dozen submarines, and more than a dozen auxiliary ships, forming an unprecedented main formation. Fires were set up one after another!

At the same time, more than a dozen destroyers, four cruisers and more than a dozen submarines that had been cruising the Pacific waters took the lead. According to the intelligence provided by the Japanese army, a dragnet search was carried out on the possible route areas of enemy ships. Nearly twenty pby "Catrina" water patrol aircraft were dispatched, and the reconnaissance day and night with a voyage of more than 6,000 kilometers.

In this way, the entire Pacific region was almost completely disturbed. After providing the final battle coordinates of the "Yingzhou", the Japanese army retreated back to their homeland to watch the fun.

The information they provided was too easy to verify. It was just dawn, and US planes appeared over the waters where the battle occurred last night, and US cruisers approached, and were salvaging corpses everywhere. The Japanese rescue ships that searched and rescued soldiers who fell into the water naturally could not escape their eyes. The water was covered with oil and dirty wood, corpses, etc., which proved how intense the battles that had happened were!

In order to seduce the Americans to be deceived, Tadaichi Nagamo even authorized to reveal that one of their "Ki-class" battleships was sunk again in battle! It is conceivable that the opponent's strength is so strong that it is very likely to be the most advanced and powerful special warship of the Chinese Navy!

The Japanese are very cunning. They know that without sufficient interests, the Americans will not take action at all. And an advanced warship that concentrates the essence of the Chinese navy and achieves great success in the City of Light technology is definitely worth a bold attempt! The countries around the world, including the United States, have been coveting the secrets of China's technology and naval weapons for a long time! How can you miss this good opportunity!

The time is also calculated very accurately! The battle that just ended early in the morning is full of electromagnetic shielding. As long as the reconnaissance aircraft or warship enters it, you will immediately know that the target enemy ship is nearby. This is no different from lighting a lighthouse!

It was in broad daylight again, with more than ten hours of good weather conditions. No matter how hard the warships with only about 30 knots of speed were killed, they could not run ten times the speed! In less than three hours after the Americans responded, two patrol planes successfully approached the area where the target warship might exist, and the ships around them surrounded them without hesitation!

It was almost noon, and the two warships rushed to both ends one after another. Just as they were about to further encircle, the electromagnetic shield suddenly disappeared without a trace! Several reconnaissance aircraft and patrol aircraft plowed the area with a radius of 50 kilometers, but found nothing!

In fact, at this time, the "Yingzhou" had already run to a place nearly 200 kilometers away from that area. The one that had been used as bait was just a 2,000-ton submarine! After completing the bait mission, the submarine immediately dived below 200 meters. No matter how the US warships searched, the sonar power could not keep up, so there was no way to discover it!

"Hmph! It's so easy to find me!" Zhu Bin saw the US military plane passing through the air radar exploration area clearly, and sneered. Chen Cang secretly played with this trick too easily, and the Americans were actually fooled!

However, he didn't dare to take it lightly. From the sudden dense electromagnetic signals in the entire Pacific region, it can be seen that the US military's mobilization density was unprecedented. Military satellites took photos of a large number of warships in the Hawaiian military port. The "Yingzhou"'s own radar and sonar also found that there were more and more suspicious targets appearing in nearby waters. The US military is going to make a big move!

"Aren't they really going to start a war?"

Zhu Bin was not sure for a moment. Although this was almost impossible, no matter how careful he was, he could not exceed his control. Contact the intelligence department immediately. Zhang Yaozu quickly responded that he had not received relevant information from the US government, the presidential office and the navy, that is, it was certain that the Americans did not decide to start a war.

The Americans are not those Japanese madmen who are dying of their heads. They dare to provoke wars if they ignore orders. They are very strict in the management of the army, and Congress treats the president as a thief as a thief. No one dares to take action first and then report on war.

Zhu Bin knew it in his mind and calmly commanded the "Yingzhou" to continue sailing eastward at a cruise speed of 25 knots. It was almost evening when a slender warship blazed in black smoke and entered the radar search edge from a distance. According to the map, it was a "Brooklyn-class" light cruiser, the US Navy!

"Report! According to judgment, the target ship is the new cruiser Helena, which joined the Pacific Fleet last year! According to the information, the ship seems to be equipped with a sea radar system, which meets the standards of our test ships!"

The database containing the current main ship information of the US military retrieved the information of the ship. Zhu Bin couldn't help but become more interested. He transferred it over and took a closer look, pinched his chin and pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad! It's a good target worth touching! Then deal with them!"

Zhu Bin's database collected almost information about naval ships from all over the world, and secretly took photos of ships, radar, sonar echo signal characteristics, ship structure, and even a large amount of specific equipment data, as well as the latest commander photos, etc. Once they encountered it, they would be immediately pulled out to compare.

The light cruiser "Helena" in the distance is the last light artillery cruiser built by the US Navy after the "Washington Naval Agreement". It is equipped with 5 3-mounted MK16152mm main guns and 4 dual-mounted MK12127mm secondary guns. Based on the experience of the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, it has installed 4 4-mounted 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft guns, 24 Erliton single-barrel 20mm guns, and a full load displacement of 13,400 tons. The total power output is enough 100,000 horsepower, which is powerful and powerful!

It is particularly worth mentioning that the ship used the SG series 3,000 MHz radar system developed by the US military and the wireless inter-ship communication system, which greatly improved the overall combat effectiveness. Of course, the things developed by Raytheon Company use a large number of transistors and microelectronic tubes imported from China and imitated by Bell Laboratory. The entire electronic system is small in size, high in power, high in accuracy, and reliable in quality, which is far from comparable to the Japanese garbage.

This is also the beginning of the US military's electronic system transformation on large warships. All large warships from the ship, including battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, have begun to use this series of radar and communication systems. Of course, this is in the confidentiality stage.

But this is not something that can be hidden from Zhu Bin. Today, I can use the ship to practice and test the performance of this ship, and even more so, I need to touch the American level!

The "Yingzhou" immediately changed direction. With the radar system that exceeded the distance and accuracy of the opponent, it quietly changed from the original rushing attitude to the tangent. It formed an angle with the opponent and began to accelerate in circles. However, the "Helena", which was cruising at a speed of 15 knots, was confused and did not know that the search target was ahead, and continued to move forward calmly. Relying on four carrier-based aircraft, it took turns to search. It was already late at this time, and the last aircraft had just fallen into the water on the warship and was lifting upwards.

Without a seaplane as an eye, the "Helena"'s vision suddenly shrinks. The SG1 radar power is fully turned on. Although it is not reliable and cannot be turned on for too long to avoid overloading and burning, it is always much better than smearing and stuttering with both eyes. The search radius of 22 nautical miles is enough to ensure the night matchup and not suffer any loss. The distance error of 200 yards and the angle error of 2 degrees can be used as an excellent auxiliary for shelling aiming.

However, as the captain, Colonel Max B. Dermott never thought that the guy he was looking for was to reach the rear at twice the speed at a speed less than 10 kilometers away from his radar exploration distance, and then slowed down and gradually rushed in!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, it was basically dark. The "Yingzhou" was fully powered down and the engine was so low that it could not even scare the sea fish. It chased the tail of the "Helena" and quietly rushed within 20 kilometers. The other party did not notice at all! This was the credit for the invisible hull and the paint. Another thing was that the Americans could not have imagined that the other party was so brave!

Colonel Dermott received an order while staying in Wake Island with a ship, and immediately, he did not find any suspicious traces all day. At this time, he had just finished suspiciously, and he held his pipe and frowned at the chart. He calculated that the other party might be hiding where he was the closest and most likely to find among all the warships. It would be very bad if he missed it!

Unfortunately, there is too little information and the ocean is too big! Apart from the sea area that is searching and catching during the day, around it, there is a vast space within a radius of at least 200 nautical miles to detour. If the other party also has a strong radar, it would not be so easy to block it!

Especially at night, when human eyes are not working, you must be careful! If you are not good, you will be exploited. You are equipped with the most advanced radar warship, and it is unreasonable to make mistakes!

Thinking of this, he straightened his waist and wanted to instruct the young men to cheer up and work carefully. Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the sky. Then, a huge flare slowly descended from the sky with a small umbrella. The dazzling light illuminated the Helena clearly!
Chapter completed!
