    Chapter 328 The war clouds are gathering

    Because no matter in terms of modern history or current comprehensive national strength, the United States is not inferior in the slightest. Its temporary military backwardness will not intimidate the United States. They must continue to fight to maintain the United States for hundreds of years.  Land and interests gained through many hard-fought wars.

    "The pride and pride given to us by our ancestors still exists. The United States cannot fail, and we cannot bow to the Chinese." Wilson's resolute and courageous look made Carter feel a sense of security. At least the determination and statement of the top leader of a country,  It can give this country more firmness and confidence.

    "What does the president mean?"

    "Order the Edel fleet to prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese." Wilson thought for a moment and said firmly.

    "No matter what the outcome of this battle is, we will destroy part of the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet, then stick to our homeland, continue to build our powerful navy, and fight the Chinese in the coming year, as long as they do not have the ability to threaten the United States mainland.  Strength, we still have hope. At this time, we must give up the hope of defeating the Chinese in the Asia-Pacific region in one fell swoop, and instead turn to a protracted war against the Chinese. In the foreseeable ten years, the United States will still be the world's number one economy and  As an industrial power, the Chinese, no matter how advanced their weapons are, cannot keep up with our output, and we are confident of winning the final victory in this war," Wilson continued.

    "Yes, I have long said that with the strength of the Pacific Fleet, it is still a bit reluctant to eliminate the four Chinese aircraft carrier battle groups. If it were not for the frequent provocations of the Chinese, I think it is not the best time for us to launch a war. But  Now that the result has happened, we must face it bravely." Part of the cloud on Carter's face also dissipated, revealing his long-lost confidence, and a hint of perseverance was outlined in the corner of his mouth.

    On the other side of the distant earth, in a large house painted with classical Chinese vermilion exterior walls, a group of top decision-makers are also making intense plans and decisions.

    The two major powers on the Pacific coast are engaged in an unprecedented confrontation, and no one dares to take it lightly. Although the Hawaiian fleet was annihilated with little effort, it was somewhat unexpected by the top military officials, and they could not be allowed to dock.  There is no chance of luck in the outcome of the battle, because luck usually only appears once in a while, and more often depends on strength and decision-making. They do not dare to expect too much luck from God.

    Li Tiancheng changed into a brand-new military uniform today. The collar was ironed very flat, and it was so straight that people had to take a second look. His young appearance paired with the attire of China's supreme commander seemed a little incongruous, but this  The minds of young people are filled with unimaginable wisdom. It is this wise head that has led the Chinese people on an unusual path, making the whole world feel shocked and trembled by China in the new century.

    This time it is the turn of the arrogant and conceited United States. They have gradually felt that a recovering Chinese empire is attacking them forcefully, like the cold wave in Alaska, which is bone-chilling and unstoppable.

    Sitting in the top spot, Li Tiancheng felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. Although he had the ability to predict the future beyond ordinary people, the world was ever-changing, and history would never run exactly according to its original trajectory again.  We must adapt to the situation, make timely adjustments and judgments according to the laws of the development of things, and make correct decisions in a timely manner. Otherwise, in the vast torrent of history, people like him who rush to talk will be in danger of being overturned. Knowing that this is  He didn't dare to take it lightly.

    Tan Jianye sat on the left side of Li Tiancheng with a cigarette in his mouth. He blew out a smoke ring and annihilated the Hawaiian fleet. Most members of the Military Commission felt a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts. At least some of the previous ones  The tense nerves relaxed slightly.

    "The Adel fleet has caught up. Should we turn around and have a decisive battle with them, or should we continue to move forward and attack Hawaii directly?" Tan Jianye raised his head and looked at the people sitting in two rows around the table.

    "I doubt that the Americans have already destroyed the Hawaiian fleet. They are likely to make corresponding adjustments. In the vast Pacific region, it is not easy to find a fleet. If they choose to escape, it will be very difficult for us.  Track their whereabouts." Li Tiancheng crossed his legs and said thoughtfully.

    "Aren't the Americans chasing us right behind us? Then why don't we get back to them and meet them head-on, so that we can start a decisive battle with them and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" Yan Lisan put forward an opinion.

    Li Tiancheng glanced at him indifferently, and said slowly that the distance between the South China Sea Fleet and the Adel Fleet is still more than three thousand kilometers, which means that they need to meet the US fleet.Over the next few days and nights, the U.S. military will definitely change. It is impossible for them to maintain their original combat plan without receiving news from the Hawaiian Fleet. They will definitely make a choice.  "Li Tiancheng put forward a different view.

    "Then what changes does the president think the US military should make?" Yan Lisan suddenly looked at Li Tiancheng with some confusion.

    "The U.S. military faces many choices, and they also need to defend a lot of homeland and colonial territories. Subic Naval Port, Darwin Military Port, and Hawaii are the three areas that Americans must consider focusing on defense. With the strength of the American navy,  To judge, they are currently unable to protect these three places at the same time. They must make a choice, and among these three places, the most important one is the Hawaii base." Li Tiancheng also lit a cigarette and smoked  He took a sip and then said.

    Yan Lisan nodded slightly, listening intently, and Li Tiancheng continued: "So I judge that the US military will give up the defense of Australia and the Philippines, and choose to do its best to defend Hawaii."  "

    "Well, so if we want to capture Hawaii, we will encounter a lot of resistance?" Yan Lisan thought it was quite reasonable, and nodded immediately and asked.

    "I estimate that the US military will concentrate a large number of forces to surround Hawaii, because this is the springboard to attack the United States from the Pacific. Once Hawaii is under our control, our aircraft carrier fleet can be stationed here for a long time, using it as a springboard and base to threaten the United States at all times.  For the security of the homeland, the US military has to dispatch a large number of fleets from the Atlantic to defend their west coastline. However, the Atlantic coastline connecting the US military to Europe will be threatened by the Allies, so Hawaii is a very important geographical location for them.  , they will definitely not lose this strategic location easily, and will definitely deploy heavy troops to guard it." Li Tiancheng continued to analyze.

    "How many U.S. troops are stationed in Hawaii?" Ma Chaoyun joined in and asked.

    "The United States has announced that there are 10,000 US soldiers stationed in Hawaii and 50 aircraft. In addition to the annihilated Hawaiian fleet, the navy is estimated to have several battleships and other ships left, as well as about 100 anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft guns."  Tan Jianye held a document recording the information of the US military stationed in the Asia-Pacific region, and said while sliding his finger under a line of writing in the document.

    "This is roughly consistent with the results of our military's reconnaissance. Hawaii has an area of ??less than 20,000 square kilometers, a population of only a few hundred thousand, and 10,000 U.S. troops stationed there. Their drinking water problem is already difficult enough to solve. It should not exceed 15,000  People, and if they are trapped on a small island like Hawaii, they will not be able to maneuver at all and will become the target of aircraft air strikes. Hawaii does not have much terrain conducive to concealment, and troops can easily be trapped on the island by the enemy." Yan Lisan  Then he said.

    "Although the terrain of Hawaii is small, if the US military continues to resist, it will be enough for us to drink. I think we must send three marine divisions to deal with them. We can send aircraft to carry out air strikes on their bases in the first stage, basically eliminating their air defense capabilities."  After that, slowly deal with the defenders on their island, and trap them in Hawaii before our marines arrive, and the US aircraft carrier fleet comes for a decisive battle. After annihilating their aircraft carrier fleet, our marines  Let¡¯s land and fight again and capture Hawaii in one fell swoop.¡± Li Tiancheng thought for a moment and then said.

    "Then should we launch attacks on the Subic and Darwin military ports in the Philippines at the same time to cooperate with our army's Hawaii campaign?" Ma Chaoyun asked another question.

    Li Tiancheng thought for a while and continued: I think we should concentrate our heavy troops to attack Hawaii. As for the Subic and Darwin military ports, we can use feint attack tactics to attract the attention of the US military and see what the movements of their Adel fleet are like. I think  The US military will choose among these three bases and concentrate their aircraft carriers to guard one point, because spreading their forces will obviously put them at a disadvantage.  "

    "That's okay. We can send some ships of the First Fleet to bombard their shore bases along the coast of the Philippines to create the illusion that we are about to attack the Philippines. Most of the remaining ships will go straight to Hawaii and join forces with the South China Sea Fleet.  Forced to land in Hawaii." Ma Chaoyun nodded and thought this idea was reasonable, and immediately added on this basis.

    "In this case, let's leave the Edel fleet alone. We first order the South China Sea Fleet to approach Hawaii, conduct air strikes on it, and knock down the U.S. military's protective system. Then a week later, after our Marine Corps arrives in place, we will  A landing battle can be launched." Tan Jianye also agreed.

    Li Tiancheng then said that more reconnaissance ships can be sent out, otherwise the troop transport ships of the First Fleet will be easily threatened by US aircraft carrier aircraft. If the Adel fleet does not go directly to Hawaii, but chooses to change the channel, the First Fleet will be very vulnerable.  We may encounter them on the way, and then our troop transport will be in danger.  "

      ¡°At the same time, let the reconnaissance aircraft of the South China Sea Fleet increase their scope of reconnaissance, coordinate with the troop carriers and other ships of the First Fleet, and closely monitor the whereabouts of the Edel Fleet. It is best to have a clear grasp of their movements before the First Fleet resumes operations.  It¡¯s not too late to set off.¡± Li Tiancheng added.

    After the meeting, the next phase of the plan was basically determined, which is to send some ships south to threaten Subic Naval Port and nearby targets. Then most of the First Fleet ships will sail to Hawaii, and the South China Sea Fleet will conduct air strikes on Hawaii as soon as possible.  Disintegrate the US military's air defense capabilities and lay a solid foundation for further landing operations.

    During this process, if the U.S. Edel Fleet comes to Hawaii to rescue them, the South China Sea Fleet will start a decisive battle with them. If the U.S. Fleet chooses to bypass Hawaii, then the South China Sea Fleet will be waiting for an opportunity, and they will still pursue it at that time.  The U.S. aircraft carrier fleet is the main force. Once the U.S. Edel fleet is annihilated, Zhen Zhen can safely and boldly land in Hawaii without worrying about being attacked by U.S. air strikes and counter-landing operations with air power reinforcements.

    Therefore, the whereabouts of the U.S. Edel Fleet has become the key. During the South China Sea Fleet's march to Hawaii, the position of the U.S. Fleet must be detected as quickly as possible, so that when the Edel Fleet approaches Hawaii or escapes from other directions, the South China Sea  The fleet can send aircraft to intercept.

    But if the Edel fleet chooses to bypass Hawaii, the South China Sea Fleet's mission will become very complicated. They will also have to act as an air strike force to attack Hawaii, and at the same time they will also chase the Edel fleet. The task will be relatively busy. Before that, they had to  The need to provide protection for the First Fleet will make it more difficult for them to perform their missions. At that time, the specific situation must be comprehensively considered to see which strategy is more appropriate.

    The battle to attack Hawaii must also be completed as soon as possible, because the supplies of our fleet can only be used by the fleet for more than three months at sea, and then they need to return to supply. If they do not capture Hawaii as soon as possible, they must abandon the mission and return, so once  If the South China Sea Fleet cannot find the Edel Fleet within a certain period of time, it will have to give up and focus on attacking Hawaii.

    Li Tiancheng¡¯s members of the Military Commission are not. The U.S. Presidential Office and the Department of Defense have made the decision to concentrate their forces to defend Hawaii because they do not want to see their land being captured like this. Almost all domestic media in the United States are reporting the news that Hawaii is about to be lost.  , Americans expressed their support for the government's efforts to protect Hawaii and launched a decisive battle with Zhenzhi near the Hawaiian Islands.

    The U.S. military has sent additional supplies to Hawaii from their coast, and more than a dozen U.S. Coast Guard cruisers are also heading to the Hawaii area. The Americans have decided to make a desperate move and consume part of the vibrating force in the battle to defend Hawaii.  aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, so that when both sides suffer heavy losses, the next war will stagnate for a while. Then during this pause, the next batch of US aircraft carriers will be successfully launched, and the vitality of the US military will  Recover gradually and wait until the spring of old age before fighting again.

    The U.S. military¡¯s wishful thinking to incite the enemy has long been guessed, so the incitement will not allow the U.S. military to succeed easily. The powerful naval aviation will give the Americans the most powerful blow.

    Next, the South China Sea Fleet sailed towards the Hawaiian Islands at full speed, while the U.S. Adel fleet was getting farther and farther away from them, and was left far behind, because their fleet's overall sailing speed was five to ten times lower than that of the South China Sea Fleet.  knot, mainly due to the poor speed of the submarine, which caused the entire fleet to be dragged down and unable to move forward at full speed.

    It is estimated that the South China Sea Fleet will arrive at the Hawaiian Islands deep in the Pacific Ocean in five days and launch the first round of attacks on them, while the Edel Fleet will not arrive until a week later. By then, the Hawaiian military port will already be riddled with holes.

    The repair work of the Sanya Military Port has started immediately after the air raid. Workers have entered the military port one after another. The damaged buildings will be repaired within two to three months, and a small number will take more than half a year. Two months later, Sanya  The military port can continue to be used again, and the previous losses are nothing compared to the US military's Hawaiian fleet.

    A dozen warships of the First Fleet have arrived in the South China Sea. They will harass the Subic military port and the US military base in the Philippines to a certain extent and make a feint attack. This time, a 10,000-ton battleship and ten cruisers and destroyers will be dispatched.  This mission was completed, but the air defense and anti-ship artillery at the Subic military port still existed. The fleet could only attack by harassment, but not by force, because their capabilities were not enough to conduct landing operations at the Subic military port.

    On the Huangpu River in Shanghai and the port docks of Ningbo and Zhoushan, batches of Zhenzhen Marines began to board troop transport ships. This time, there were three divisions of Marine Corps, with 36,000 people, planned to be sent to Hawaii.  Troops of the 128th, 75th, and 48th Divisions.

    The division numbers of Zhen** are not taken in order. This is done for confidentiality purposes.We cannot let the enemy clearly estimate how many Marines there are in our army, and the numbers of other units are mostly randomly selected, so that the foreign troops cannot know the approximate number of the overall number of Zhenjun troops.

    The military port pier was busy. Boxes of ammunition, fresh water, biscuits, condiments, fruits, barrels of gasoline, kerosene, and various other materials were gradually loaded onto supply ships and ships. Two landing ships loaded  Twelve Panzer-1 tanks and several landing craft were loaded, ready for use when landing in Hawaii.

    In addition, in order to strengthen supplies, several civilian ships were also dispatched this time to ensure the supply needs of the troops for more than three months. Fighting in the vast Pacific region, the troops must be prepared for long-term operations.

    At the Darwin Naval Base in Australia, the US Pacific Fleet Headquarters is also being transferred. Robert and a group of officers are preparing to leave this unprotected base as soon as possible. They are worried that when the revitalized South China Sea Fleet returns, their escape will be very difficult.  It is difficult and easily monitored by South China Sea Fleet reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, before the Battle of Hawaii begins, important senior officers of the US military in the Philippines and Australia are preparing to evacuate in advance, otherwise they will soon be surrounded by vigilantes in Southeast Asia and Australia.
