The Third Battle of Guadalcanal was initiated by the Allied Pacific Command. Therefore, although the Navy only had China's Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet participating in the battle, the Americans led by Kim only acted as observers and guests, but in fact they were on the side of the Allied Navy. In the name of the United States, the Allied naval power in the Pacific currently mainly comes from four countries, namely China, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. In fact, because Australia's own military strength is weak, it has always followed the lead of Britain and the United States; Britain's Far East The fleet has also lost its ability to fight in the ocean. Therefore, the only ones that can really compete with the Japanese combined fleet are the Pacific fleets of China and the United States. The Americans are actually willing to shoulder the Pacific war. This is because they It can be seen that they couldn't wait to take over the defense of Guadalcanal, but they had good wishes but lacked the corresponding strength. Therefore, the US Pacific Fleet once again emerged, but the next moment it was severely beaten by the Japanese, and even had to enter again During the dormant period, the Americans suffered another big loss and finally recognized the facts and truly became low-key. Therefore, whether Ouyang Yun is willing or not, now the Pacific Fleet can only take on the main responsibility of fighting against the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Of course, from Ouyang Yun's point of view, for the leapfrog tactic, for the early and complete defeat of Japan, so that the strategic center can be moved westward, for the post-war... He feels that China can no longer hide it, "it is to further let the world know "It's time for our strength", with this idea in mind, he changed his previous style of worrying about foreign affairs and international wars, and began to become courageous and responsible, and began to become generous. He took the initiative to let Chen Shichang go without any conditions. Take over the naval warfare affairs,
Roosevelt had guessed Ouyang Yun's true intentions for his unusual style. However, when the frontline troops failed to live up to expectations, even though he was unwilling to do so, he could only choose to cooperate for the sake of the overall situation and the long-term. After all, Australia is still the United States. The Australia of the Europeans is the Australia of the Europeans. In addition, the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet's devastating defeat of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet in the Solomon Sea Battle made the prospects of the Third Guadalcanal Battle relatively clear. Roosevelt ordered MacArthur to let He fully cooperated with Bai Liusu in the battle to seize the island.
MacArthur originally sent Marines to cooperate with the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the Third Battle of Guadalcanal. However, in his original arrangement, these troops were more spectators than soldiers. The main purpose of their trip was to learn rather than shed blood. Sacrifice, "This will be an unprecedentedly brutal and bloody battle. I dare to assert that even if the Chinese can win in the end, it will be a tragic victory." Once, MacArthur's opponent's confidants said this, but he did not say it in his heart. The sentence that came out was: Once the Chinese suffered heavy losses and lost the ability to hold on to Guadalcanal, we would just take it over naturally. MacArthur had a good idea. However, after the Battle of the Solomon Sea, the situation seemed to have changed. Wuwei The aircraft carrier fleet suffered a disastrous defeat and lost the ability to fight again. This means that the sea and air supremacy of Guadalcanal are controlled by the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet, and the air and sea supremacy are in hand. According to MacArthur's understanding, if the next battle to seize the island is announced, Entering China's time, as long as the Chinese are willing to pay for artillery shells, the destruction of the Japanese army on Guadalcanal will only be a matter of time.
When the Third Battle of Guadalcanal just started, although he promised to praise us and the Allies verbally, he was actually waiting to see what the Chinese would do. Now, seeing that victory is within easy reach, he no longer thinks so. , we are still us, the Allies are still the Allies, but the nature is completely different, and there is Roosevelt's tiger skin to borrow. Not only did he change his previous tone, but he also ordered the frontline troops to be more courageous and urgent. Add 5,000 troops and transport them to the front line of Guadalcanal as quickly as possible.
Neither Chen Shichang nor Bai Liusu were fools, especially the former. The Americans had very different attitudes. It was impossible for them not to feel it or not know what the Americans had in mind. The supply fleet was still between the front and rear of Guadalcanal. As time came and went, Chen Shichang waited for Bai Liusu who arrived later, and began to discuss countermeasures specifically on this matter.
In this landing battle, Chen Shichang originally did not want to alarm Bai Liusu. Bai Liusu himself felt that he had more important things to do. After all, the latter was the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps of the Allied Pacific Command. If the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the French Volunteer Army complete the battle to seize the island, it will actually make no difference whether she is here or not. However, they suddenly changed their views in unison because their colleagues noticed the changes and intentions of the Americans.
In a relatively private conference room on the Huangdi aircraft carrier, Chen Shichang, Wang Hai and Bai Liusu were sitting around a small square table. Chen Shichang first asked Bai Liusu: "You know, the junior officer, too?"
Bai Liusu nodded and said, "His opinion is that we should seize this opportunity."
"Where's Mr. Chu?"
"Brother and he have communicated via telegram, and Mr. Chu has allowed us to do whatever we want."
"Do you have a plan?"
"I have an idea that the Americans need news of victory so much, especially about the Navy. The Marine Corps is also affiliated with the Navy. MacArthur and King are definitely not willing to let go of this opportunity. The previous Battle of Grass has proved that the United States Although the people have nominally given up the supreme command of the Allied Pacific Command, they have no intention of putting it into action. The battle to seize the island will definitely be quite brutal. We just want to prove to the Americans that without us, what will they do? It can’t be done either.”
Bai Liusu's words were quite cryptic, and she had no choice. The content of the plan to steal the sky and change the sun was the top secret of the country. It involved the country's future policy towards Japan, and there was no room for sloppiness. As far as she knew, the Chinese side of the Allied Pacific Command Among the senior officials, only Chu Tiange has a certain right to know, and she was granted a certain right to know because of the needs of the war. Chen Shichang and Wang Hai, although their status in the Allied Pacific Command is important, but because of the confidentiality level, etc. The reason, but I know nothing about it,
Chen Shichang had communicated with Ouyang Yun before, and Ouyang Yun's instructions to him were to follow Bai Liusu's instructions. After hearing this, he and Wang Hai looked at each other and said, "Just ask if you need me to do anything, I will definitely cooperate."
Chen Shichang had been with Ouyang Yun for a long time, so even though he did not have the right to know, he could detect something based on some clues. Therefore, although he had strong curiosity in his heart, he was able to hold it back.
Wang Hai is different. He really knows nothing about this. In addition, he has a straightforward personality, so he doesn't think about other aspects at all. "I have no objection. We have sacrificed so much. If we get nothing, then it won't work." You fool, the Pacific Ocean can only belong to us, and I support all decisions made by the young commander."
