Across the ocean, Eagle Palace
"George, what do you think of the intelligence that the group of dwarfs transferred from China are planning to attack the Honolulu military port in the near future?"
Franklin asked the Chief of Staff of the Defense Forces calmly.
"Your Excellency, I have not received any information in this regard so far. The Chinese infantry commander probably hopes to lure Goshawk into the water."
George shrugged after finishing speaking, which shows the arrogance of white people towards people of other races.
Franklin lit a cigar and unconsciously revealed a wise smile that could not be concealed. George's reaction was also what he expected. Eagle Sauce's arrogance and prejudice against Orientals were engraved in his bones.
Rather than saying that George is questioning the capabilities of the Chinese intelligence department, it is better to say that he simply does not believe that an Eastern country dares to take the initiative to go to war with the powerful Goshawk Country. This is not an isolated phenomenon and cannot be convinced by words.
Sooner or later they will have to pay for their arrogance!
"George, I think China has a very good saying. It is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not. Send an urgent warning to the Honolulu Military Port garrison and ask them to pay close attention to the movements of the East Japanese Navy.
In addition, the Yongpingyang Naval Command was notified and ordered three aircraft carriers to participate in exercises on the islands near the eastern coast. "
George followed the order and left. When he was about to leave the door, he suddenly turned around and asked:
"Sir, do you really think they dare to show their teeth to the powerful Goshawk Kingdom?"
At this critical juncture, Franklin suddenly moved three aircraft carriers away from the port and into the sea thousands of miles away. This move was so abnormal that he smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Franklin never makes a fool of himself. Abnormality is a monster!
Franklin just shrugged, then spread his hands. George tilted his head, saluted an eagle and left.
More than a thousand kilometers away in the sea, the sky is blue, and petrels are soaring in the blue sky
On the blue sea waves, a huge fleet is secretly approaching Honolulu Island. They have achieved radio silence, just like thieves, approaching quietly, no need to shoot, this is very devilish.
This is the largest naval fleet in history. The main force is composed of 6 aircraft carriers and 441 carrier-based aircraft. This is the first battle for the aircraft carrier formation to replace the battleships and become the dominant force in the ocean. It will definitely be recorded in the history of human naval warfare.
Admiral Yamamoto stood on the bridge of a giant flagship and stared into the distance with deep eyes. Next to him was Vice Admiral Nagumo, the commander of the assault formation.
Yamamoto was not excited because he was about to create history in naval battles. Instead, he had a touch of melancholy between his brows.
"Your Excellency, tomorrow is Sunday, and they will party late on weekend nights;
When the attack is launched in the early morning of tomorrow, the gentlemen of the Eagle Navy will most likely still be sleeping with their butts sticking out, and even the night guard personnel will respond much slower than usual. "
Admiral Yamamoto shook his head slightly and said:
"Nanyun-kun, I have no worries about our actions in the early morning of tomorrow. We have the right time, place and people on our side. If we have such a huge first mover advantage, we will not be able to win completely, let alone fight this battle." Got it!
If nothing else happens, after tomorrow morning, Takajia's Ryuhei Yang fleet will temporarily cease to exist. In the next one to two years, the entire Ryuhei Yang fleet will become His Majesty the Emperor's footbath. "
Lieutenant General Nayun nodded in agreement, and then asked in confusion:
"General, since you agree with this result, what else do you have to worry about?"
Before General Yamamoto could answer, the keen Nanyun suddenly discovered a question, and then asked with a questioning look on his face:
"Your Majesty, General, under the premise that Yingjiang's fleet has been completely lost, do you really think that our advantage can only be maintained for one to two years?
Is this too pessimistic? Please forgive me for not agreeing!
You must know that the establishment of this huge navy by the empire took almost a generation of effort and drained the national treasury——"
Lieutenant General Nagumo's voice became softer and softer, and his confidence became less abundant, because later he realized that they were not Taka-chan!
Yingjiang produces more steel in one month than Dongwa does in one year!
Lieutenant General Shao Qing Nanyun raised his voice and said:
"Rebuilding a navy requires more than just steel. A ten-year army and a century-old navy, Yingjiang must also follow the basic rules of the development of this matter."
Yamamoto was very pleased that Vice Admiral Nagumo could see this. He had always been very optimistic about him and even trained him as a future successor. He did not want the successor of the Imperial Navy to be a guy with well-developed limbs, hot head, and arrogance.
"Nagyun-kun, you have also seen that the development of the navy is not just warships and steel, but also the reserve of naval talents, the research and development of weapons and equipment, the formation of tactical ideas, the accumulation of battlefield experience, the construction of military ports, the scale of the shipbuilding industry, etc. Wait, this is only at the tactical level. The strategic level involves the country's financial resources, material resources, manpower and comprehensive national strength. These cannot be destroyed by this war!
All we can destroy is their fleet. As long as Yingjiang's homeland is still there and its industrial strength is still there, once they transition to a wartime system, rebuilding a Longpingyang fleet will not only take a year or two, but even require The time is shorter, and the newly built fleet will only be stronger;
What I'm worried about is that after this battle, we will awaken another super giant! "
Lieutenant General Nagumo can be regarded by Yamamoto as his successor, and his strategic vision will naturally not be much worse. Yamamoto's words caused him to think deeply;
Yamamoto didn't bother him, he just looked ahead silently. The seemingly calm sea often had hidden rough waves...
"Your Excellency, General, is there no other way to reverse the strategic passive situation?"
Yamamoto nodded with great satisfaction. It seemed that Vice Admiral Nagumo had figured out a lot of things, recognized his judgment, and thought of making up for the strategic shortcomings with tactics. This is what an excellent Imperial Navy commander should have. Poor quality, blind arrogance, and blind optimism will only lead the Imperial Navy into an abyss full of dangers.
"Nanyun-kun, there is only one way to completely reverse the strategic passive situation, and that is to land on the mainland of Goshawk Country and completely destroy their industrial strength before our opponents can transform their terrifying industrial strength into combat power. This requires the use of at least two million troops;
Even so, the best result can only lead to the current Chinese battlefield situation, which can extend the empire's advantage for five to ten years.
Goshawk is not like Huaxia. They have no sense of national identity. If they were really in a situation like Huaxia, they might have negotiated peace long ago! "
The painful expression on Lieutenant General Nayun's face flashed away, a moment of despair. He returned to reality and said with firm eyes:
"Your Excellency, General, matters at the strategic level are not something we can decide. The Empire has no plans to attack the Goshawk Country. All we can do now is to do our best at the operational and tactical levels!
The future of the empire was determined by fighting for it. In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, China and their Beiyang Fleet were also behemoths for the empire at that time. Didn’t we also win the bet?
The rise and fall of the empire depends on this battle. I will lead the assault group to fight this battle with the seriousness of a lion fighting a rabbit, and send all the gentlemen of Eagle Sauce to the bottom of the sea! "
Lieutenant General Nayun chose to gamble his life. This is how they had gambled for so many years. They had no choice but to gamble!
"Nanri-kun, go ahead and use the empire's aerial bombs to send all of Takajia's fleet into the sea, let their harbor burn, and make the arrogant gentlemen tremble!"
Yamamoto, who likes to gamble, finally studs!
