"Oh, for the sake of the motherland, any sacrifice should be worth it. All I have to do now is to make good use of this opportunity and not let these young men sacrifice in vain." Feng Ju slowly took off his military cap and looked at the crowd in front of him.
The tombstone bowed deeply, and at this time the corners of his eyes were uncontrollably wet.
After being air strikes in Pearl Harbor, in order not to make the other party suspicious, the Chinese Empire's naval submarine reduced its efforts to break the battle on the Storm Ocean, causing the other party to have a large number of submarines to retract the East Ocean and defend their own sphere of influence.
Pearl Harbor has begun intense restoration work. The damaged dock facilities, airports, barracks and warehouses all need to be rebuilt, and a large number of wrecks need to be salvaged. However, the main fleet that hid in other ports will not return to Pearl Harbor for the time being in order not to expose its target.
The renovation staff also have plenty of time to clear berths and waterways.
Half a month later, in the largest port of Kingsoft in the western part of the Boston Empire, groups of ships were orderly preparing for the sailing. A hundred thousand troops near the port were gathering, and they would escort the Boston Ocean Fleet to Wahu.
The archipelago launched landing operations.
The Oahu Islands are thousands of kilometers away from the Boston Empire. It is the closest group of islands to the Boston Empire in the Eastern Ocean, enough to station more than 300,000 troops. The Boston Empire has always been salivating about this place.
The Oahu Islands are a big lock that seals the Boston Empire's Ocean's dream of dominating the world. If it occupies this place, it is like opening the door lock of the East Ocean. The Boston Empire will gain an important strategic support point, and the entire East Ocean will be open to them.
door.
Once this happens, the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire will be exhausted, and all islands in the central eastern ocean will be under the threat of the Boston Navy. If so many islands are defended, the defensive forces will be dispersed, and if only the key defense is carried out, the defense will be dispersed.
, the Chinese Empire's defense line at sea will be broken by the Boston Ocean Navy.
With so many benefits, the Boston Empire's Admiralty naturally attaches great importance to the competition here. At this time, they even requisitioned a large number of civilian ships and invested 100,000 troops at one time to make a big bet. The actions that seemed to be determined to take a gamble were not in fact.
Conclusion: In the war room of the Admiralty, the dispute is still going on.
"I don't agree with this attack." Nimitz looked at the big bosses in the Admiralty with anger. After all, the four-star general Nimitz is the commander of the largest ocean-going fleet in the Boston Empire. His identity is between him, everyone
The boss is still very polite.
The five-star Navy general Dewey, who has become the Minister of the Navy, cleared his throat and said, "General Nimitz, I know very well what you think. But we cannot shrink our hands and feet. Once this opportunity is delayed, the Chinese Empire will take advantage of their huge
The industrial system will restore the combat power of its Eastern Ocean Fleet. At that time, the results of the previous air strike will be gone, and we will still be subject to fierce revenge. I think you should be very clear about these situations."
Nimitz said: "But it has been two weeks since the last air strike, and there has been no detailed report from the Oahu Islands. How can we attack rashly without the enemy and our enemy?"
After hearing Nimitz's words, the Navy's Director of Information Lederman coughed awkwardly and said, "We cannot get information and we cannot blame us. Since the last sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire has cooperated with the intelligence department,
A major inventory of the island was conducted. They used very good reasons to extradite all the foreigners on the island, even those of their allies, how do we obtain intelligence in this case?"
Dewey responded: "Yes, it's not a question about Lederman. Besides, the entire Eastern Ocean fleet of the other party was completely destroyed. Now they have no navy except the small boats along the mainland. What's there to worry about?
.”
Nimitz frowned and said, "This is exactly what I am worried about. The last air strike was too easy. It actually destroyed all the other side's ships, which made me very suspicious."
Hearing Nimitz's reason, Rems, the commander of the Naval Air Force, was a little unhappy: "Does General Nimitz question the strength of our Naval Air Force? Is it impossible for our bombers to win such a big victory?"
There is a very unreasonable place in the Boston Navy. All Navy aircraft, including aircraft on aircraft carriers, are uniformly commanded by the Navy Air Force Commander. He can even transfer all the aircraft on aircraft carriers without even saying hello to the fleet commander. For this reason, Nimi
I have suggested several times that the aircraft carrier-based aircraft should be assigned to the fleet to be unified in command. However, this suggestion made Rems mistakenly believe that Nimitz wanted to weaken his rights, so Rems has always been hostile to him.
This time, the Ocean Fleet successfully attacked Pearl Harbor with a carrier-based aircraft. Although it made Nimitz famous, it also made Rems have a big face. In his opinion, Nimitz benefited from him and used his subordinates.
After winning the battle, he reacted so when Nimitz questioned the record of the carrier-based aircraft troops last time.
Nimitz looked at Remus with anger. He could no longer feel angry about this idiot. This idiot who climbed to this high position with his father Yu Yin, just wanted to fight for power and profit all day long, and was not for the country at all.
Thoughts, he was only a civilian and could not fight Rems, who was born into a noble family, even if his military rank was higher than him.
At this time, Nimitz was a little envious of Liu Junguo, who had studied together in the Saar Empire. The Chinese Empire is now no longer the Lanfang Empire. Although the Chinese Empire has been changed to a constitutional monarchy, it still remains
In some systems of the imperial era, there were also nobles there, but most of the nobles there were honorary titles given to meritorious officials or royal members. They had no privileges except to gain respect, and the nobles could not be hereditary.
The Chinese Empire pursues a policy of recruiting talents. No matter how low a talented person is, no one will discriminate against him. They can still reach a high status. Liu Junguo, who is also a civilian, is the best example.
Nimitz was completely tired of the intrigues in the Boston Empire military system. If possible, he really wanted to quit. As a pure soldier, Nimitz was very disgusted with people like Rems.
But for his own motherland, he could not let go, so he had to surrender to the big guys.
As an old soldier with a sense of responsibility, Nimitz still proposed a remedy: "My dear sir, what I am worried about is not the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire. Even if they are intact, their scale is far from our ocean-going fleet.
.”
Before proposing a plan, he had to give a small thumbs up to the senior management of the Admiralty: "Under the wise leadership of all the wise men, we cannot lose to such a weak fleet. What I am worried about is that China Island is Fang Xiaoyu's iron blood
Army, they also have a navy." In order to get the Navy to support its opinions, Nimitz had to use Fang Xiaoyu's name to scare them.
Naval Intelligence Director Leedman said: "According to the multiple reconnaissances of our intelligence department, the so-called fleet of the Iron Blood Army only has a small number of coastal gunboats and torpedo boats, and the largest warship is just cruisers. They are built completely according to the standards of offshore defense fleets.
, it is impossible to fight in the ocean. Since the outbreak of the war, China Island has not sent any soldiers, which shows that the military strength on China Island is not strong. Due to insufficient military strength, they are unable to send troops to support the Chinese Imperial Government Army. This is exactly our
Opportunity.”
Nimitz said: "But our reconnaissance can't go deep into the interior of China Island at all. How can we just assert that they are in short numbers and the navy is small on the surface."
"Nimitz, are you afraid? A person like you who is timid will waste great opportunities. If the Chinese Empire gets enough time to restore its naval strength, the empire will suffer significant losses." Rems was on the sidelines
Live and fan the flames.
Nimitz retorted: "But if the main force takes risks in an unknown situation, it is also irresponsible."
Leedman, who was standing by, sneered: "Captain of the Fleet, we wiped out the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire last time. This was what you reported. Is it fake? What's more, the twenty-four new batch of built by the Chinese Empire
The aircraft carrier is about to be launched, and we have no extra time."
Nimitz said dissatisfiedly: "I just want to confirm the information first and then attack."
Listening to Nimitz's words, General Dewey was a little unhappy. This combat operation was decided by him. Nimitz's push and four obstacles made him very unhappy.
Hearing Nimitz repeatedly emphasize the power of the Chinese Empire, he slapped the table and stood up: "Enough, General Nimitz, are you scared by the Chinese Empire? Or is it because of the huge victory last time that you started
Afraid of your head and fear of destroying your reputation for life? If you don't want to perform this mission, I can remove you from commander of the Ocean Fleet."
Nimitz still said unwillingly: "But you have to be careful of such a thing. If our navy is attacked by a sneak attack, the losses will be difficult to make up."
"Enough." Dewey was really angry: "Last time it was because you refused to bring the transport ship and landing troops when you attacked Pearl Harbor, which caused us to miss the opportunity to occupy the Oahu Islands at the first time. This time you started again
What does it mean to shirk the offensive plan?"
"I..." Nimitz's words were interrupted by Dewey before they could even say: "Now Mr. Nimitz, you have been removed from the position of commander of the Ocean Fleet. I ask you to suspend your post and reflect on it. During this period, General Remus
It will take your position temporarily."
Nimitz sighed. He knew very well that since he returned from the last victory, he had become a thorn in the eyes of these noble officers. After all, a man from a civilian family has received such great honor, which has embarrassed these nobles. This time Dewey is afraid.
It is also a matter of taking advantage of the issue.
