In fact, in 1943, the Joint Strategic Investigation Committee, composed of Lieutenant General Stanley Embike, Lieutenant General Russell Wilson and Major General Mulfiecher, the Army Air Force, was a little lower in the US strategic organization than the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Marshall and others.

When discussing whether the US military's strategic focus in the Southwest Pacific in 1943 was whether the three people in the JSSC in the Central Pacific were consistently believed that as long as they achieved great combat success in the Central Pacific, it would not only effectively shorten the Southwest Allied transportation lines, but also protect Australia from being occupied by the Japanese army.

Of course, the reasons for launching the Central Pacific offensive are also listed, such as being able to disperse the Japanese air force deployed in the Pacific, and attack islands with weak naval and air force, achieving results, and at the same time, they can continuously expand the Japanese allies such as the United States and Canada to consume the Japanese maritime power and strike area, and can also support the Solomon Islands to fight at any time. In short, launching a large-scale offensive from the Central Pacific to capture the Marshall Islands, and Carolin, Mariana and other archipelagos were the main routes of advance for the US military in the fall of 1943, because the ultimate goal of the US military was to capture Luzon, march into Japan's mainland, and set foot on Tokyo.

Although the JSSC strongly proposed such a combat proposal to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Marshall and others, the opposition forces represented by MacArthur made a fierce rebuttal for no reason, because if the US military focused all military strikes on the Central Pacific Battle, then the Southwest Pacific War Zone he was mainly attacking would not have too many weapons and equipment and military supplies.

Everyone has selfish intentions, especially MacArthur, who suddenly had new and old hatreds in the Japanese army. He never forgot the shame of losing the Philippines, especially since he almost became a prisoner of the Japanese army in the Philippines.

But no matter how he was yelling and yelling at the strategic opinions of opposing JSSC, because his opposition suggestion was that if the US military mainly attacked the Central Pacific, it would face the Japanese sea and air scattered across the islands; the resistance of the joint defense system would easily lead to the same as the Japanese army's strong fortifications deployed by the US military during the Battle of Midway, and would suffer severe damage.

At the same time, he also strongly suggested that the US military should choose to open up islands such as Australia, New Guinea, Mindanao as the main attack route in 1943, but in the end his fierce rebuttal was refuted by General Erne King, Secretary of the Navy's Navy Operations and Commander-in-Chief of the US Navy Fleet. Finally, Marshall and others' Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as President Roosevelt, agreed to determine the main attack target in 1943 as the Central Pacific.

Of course, after President Roosevelt agreed to this matter, he also gave MacArthur some benefits. At least in the Southwest Pacific War of Resistance Against Japan, MacArthur, who was in the army, quickly obtained enough weapons, equipment, ammunition, and troops, as well as promised to replenish him more fleets and military supplies as soon as possible.

MacArthur fell silent, turned a blind eye and closed his eyes.

In addition to providing MacArthur with a large amount of supplies, President Roosevelt did not forget to comfort the Halsey fleet, which suffered heavy losses in battles with the Japanese for islands such as Monda Airport.

In this regard, Halsey did not oppose concentrating the main force to attack the Central Pacific, and he chose to tear down the German troops who bought and sold weapons and equipment to the Japanese to vent his anger.

Originally, his fleet and air force had an advantage in the Battle of Monda, but with the addition of new aircraft carriers obtained by the Japanese army from the German army and various weapons and equipment, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness became stronger, making the Halsey fleet and the Marines who cooperated with their landing operations suffered heavy casualties and almost ended in failure.

If his fleet had not finally received decisive support from Nimitz, he would have been unable to occupy Monda Island and Monda Airport. However, even so, the main force of the Japanese troops stationed in Monda would have been evacuated.

"Japanese monkey, German guy! You wait for me, I will make a comeback soon and beat you all over the ground, and you will be urinating! Otherwise, I won't call Halsey!"

The more he thought about this, Halsey, who was nicknamed Man Bull or Bull, instantly made up his mind to make a decision not to defeat the troops of Germany and Japan. He would never give up.

Of course, except for him having this idea, the top leaders of the US military now hate the German army led by Chen Yanlong, especially Chen Yanlong's elusive advanced weapons and equipment, which made them extremely painful.

When Lieutenant General Spruins was discussing with his chief of staff, Colonel Moore, he hurriedly took a plane to Wellington to check the training work of the 2nd Landing Division and intending to discuss the issues of the landing operations of the Gilbert Islands with Major General Julian Smith, the commander of the 2nd Landing Division, especially the training results of amphibious operations, and then fight against the Japanese shore defense artillery attacks.

At the same time, he also used all means to collect information on the deployment of Japanese troops in the Gilbert Islands. For example, he would dispatch a large number of reconnaissance aircraft for aerial photography, and dispatch submarine troops to go deep into the Gilbert Islands for more detailed reconnaissance intelligence.

At the same time, he also recalled the recollection officers familiar with the Gilbert Islands, including Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, to collect the geographical environment there. In short, as long as the Navy General Spruins could collect enough wartime real-life methods, he would use it without hesitation.

However, in this process, President Roosevelt and Nimitz, as well as three high-level officers in the JSSC, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Marshall and others, as well as the Secretary of Navy Operations and Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy Fleet, and other senior U.S. military officials were unanimously worried about how many advanced weapons and equipment the Japanese army still had, especially those F6F "Shrew" fighter jets that were exactly the same as them, also known as the "Hellcat" fighter jets, as well as the F-14 Tomcat, one of the main fighters of the U.S. military in the late World War II, and the carrier-based fighter jets that were finally known as the strongest in World War II. They had excellent performance and completely surpassed the carrier-based aircraft of various countries in the world at that time, such as F8F Pandas.

When they think of this, all the senior US military leaders were gloomy. Their hatred towards Chen Yanlong and his German army was like a surging river, endless, and they wished they could tear each other out of their bodies and pick them up and feed them to the fish.

The Battle of Sicily and the Battle of Pacific were both caught off guard by Chen Yanlong's extensive range of advanced weapons and equipment, and they also suffered heavy casualties and huge losses, which was a loss of over 100 million US dollars.

However, although he hated and worried that the Japanese army would be supplemented by the weapons and equipment of the German army commanded by Chen Yanlong again, and even the personnel participated in the war, in general, all senior U.S. military officials, including President Roosevelt, decided consistently to capture islands such as the Gilbert Islands immediately and open up a stronger anti-Japanese situation in the Central Pacific.

If Chen Yanlong really wants to intervene in the Pacific War, President Roosevelt and other senior U.S. military officials will also make the final decision to accompany them to the end and fight to the death. As for who will win to death, it is still an unknown.
