Chapter 287 Impossible Mission (26)

"The reactions from all sides are very fierce." Faced with the war situation report sent by Germany and the inquiry telegram sent by the Tokyo Base Camp, Hori Teiki sighed, as if she was not very happy.

Judging from his worries, Kusou Ryunosuke was a little strange: "Sir, isn't the war of virtues completely in line with your vision? Let the two of them consume each other"

Hori Teiki shook her head: "It's not exactly in line"

"Do you want the Germans to win?"

"Not that," he sighed and explained, "I just hope they will fight a small battle, sink 23 main warships each, and then continue to confront each other and deterrently to gain time for us to adopt the Hawaii strategy, rather than the current results."

"Huh?" Kurokunosuke asked strangely, "Isn't it just restraining each other now? Although the United States has suffered heavy losses, has Germany also lost the ability to continue attacking?"

"But in this way, the United States can only adopt a defensive stance in Central America and the Caribbean and is unable to launch a counterattack again." Horitiki smiled slightly, "What I originally expected was that both sides would continue to maintain their ability to destroy their opponents and fight back and forth. Now, doing so is to force Germany and the United States to make peace, and there is a tendency to force the United States to accept very unfavorable contract conditions."

"But there is nothing to be scary about. Now the combined naval strength of the United States and Germany is not as good as that of the joint fleet."

"The problem is not that simple. Strategy is not simple mathematics. When the United States faces us alone, its psychological advantages and endurance will be strengthened to the greatest extent possible." Hori Teiki frowned and said, "And now the balance of strength is unbalanced, and the country will inevitably not accept strategies to make more concessions."

"For example"

"A telegram was sent from the country, and the army proposed to occupy New Zealand and Australia without occupying it. Should New Zealand take it? Some bureaucrats believe that they can counterattack the Solomon Islands and completely solve the problem of the absolute defense circle. Anyway, there will be no need for too many fleets to siege Hawaii."

Kusato Ryunosuke was amused and crying, but the situation was indeed the case. Now the American fleet has basically been eliminated. Even if the Americans are allowed to come, they cannot draw out the fleet to attack. The top leaders in the country must have obtained relevant information. The starting point of these opinions comes down to a sentence. The barren Japanese national strength is difficult to support the long-term consumption of Hawaii and Americans.

Even if the United States now takes out a lot of supplies for redemption of civilians, it does not mean that it can be directly converted into military supplies and can offset the value, but it cannot offset the composition.

What's even more terrible is that after the end of the War between Germany and the United States, the possibility of peace between Germany and the United States further increased. Although Germany cannot continue to grab land in the short term, the United States has completely lost the ability to drive the German army away from Central America. Since neither side can continue to extend its sphere of influence, what are the possibilities besides a ceasefire?

"It seems that they can't tolerate Nishimura Jun fishing leisurely anymore, so prepare to attack."

"When are you going to attack?"

"Starting next week, we will first hit Hawaii Island and finally Oahu." Horitiki sighed, "Although this fruit is not yet mature, I'm afraid it won't be so mature. Once Germany and the United States make peace, the United States may not give up Hawaii so easily."

While the "Sir" was talking, Chiaki Matsuda suddenly ran over panting, "The telegram that the telegram just received was sent by the Americans."

"American?"

Hori Teiki raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"This" Chiaki Matsuda laughed, "The American Red Cross asked if it could allow soldiers to retire on-site at Pearl Harbor so as to retreat in reference to the civilian model!"

"What?" Hori Teiki and Kusato Ryunosuke were shocked, "Really?"

"real!"

"Interesting, Americans have lost confidence?"

Hori Teiki smiled slightly: "It seems that the situation will be easier than we think."

"Sir, how do you answer in detail?"

"Full agree, but veterans cannot carry weapons, and the cost will be doubled."

"double?"

Hori Teiki nodded: "Yes, double it! Now our situation is favorable. If you do business, you will naturally have to make the most profit, haha."

The emergency meeting of the Joint Conference was held in the hospital because President Dewey fainted after receiving the news of the Atlantic Fleet's heavy losses and Mitchell died heroically, and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Coincidentally, the ward where he was hospitalized happened to be the one where Truman had been staying for a few days ago, Truman had just been discharged from the hospital and went to recuperate in his hometown in Missouri.

This ward has held several emergency meetings, secretarial telephone, workbench, conference room and other equipment, and has separate floors and elevators, equipped with exclusive doctors, nurses and security personnel. The confidentiality is quite high, far exceeding the configuration of the presidential suite. The hospital does not easily arrange other patients, and only big people can enjoy it. Unexpectedly, Dewey is here again just a few days after cleaning it.

After all, Dewey was young and not too serious. He had a slight increase in blood pressure and neurasthenia. The doctors all said that it was caused by excessive pressure. Although Dewey wanted to be discharged the hospital the next day, the hospital stipulated that it was necessary to stay in the hospital for three days for the sake of insurance. The situation was so urgent that he had to put the emergency meeting here.

When everyone arrived, they witnessed the familiar venues and facilities, and the sadness that surged in their hearts became even heavier.

Nimitz reported on the final battle situation. Hearing that the fleet was left with only some light warships and few large warships, Dewey's face was gloomy and terrifying, his fists were clenched quite tightly, and his palms almost clenched bleeding, and finally he held it back.

"The current situation is quite unfavorable to our army. At present, the Atlantic Fleet has only two fleet aircraft carriers and a few cruisers. There is no battleship, and there is no ability to continue fighting by the end of this year. Although the German army also suffered heavy losses, we still have to face Japan, and they have no worries in Europe at least."

The situation reported by Nimitz is not the most troublesome. The most troublesome thing is the current shortage of carrier-based pilots. In addition to the two newly put aircraft carriers currently on the two newly put aircraft carriers, there are currently less than 180 groups of carrier-based pilots in Puerto Rico. Although the only remaining pilots have experienced continuous wars and become experienced old birds, this elimination rate of up to 80% is unaffordable by the US Navy.

The air force's condition was as bad as the navy, and even after it had finally come to a point where the skilled crew climbed to more than 3,000 groups, collapsed again. After the entire Caribbean Campaign in Central America, the remaining skilled crew fell to about 2,300 groups, and nearly one-quarter of them were taken away in one breath, so that it seems more than willing to attack Bermuda now.

Although the opponent's Luftwaffe is also continuously consuming, the current consumption speed is something Arnold cannot afford. If you do it a few more times, let alone counterattack Bermuda, you don't even have to defend the East Coast. What's more, due to continuous losses in combat, the morale of the air force has dropped sharply, and recently there has been deserters, which is a very shocking behavior.

"So you're going to buy out the troops on Hawaii Island?"

Facing Dewey's gaze, Dulles nodded with a wry smile: "Our army has 100,000 troops in Hawaii, most of which are the army, but there are also many air force and naval aviation forces, with a total of more than 1,000 units, which is crucial to the current situation of war, so"

"But in this way, how can the morale and honor of the army be maintained?" Dewey sighed. "100,000 soldiers, at least $300 million in supplies are needed, we."

Dulles shook his head: "300 million is not enough, it's 600 million. The price of the Japanese has increased, and the evacuation fee for the soldiers has increased to $4,000 per person."

"Damn it!" Dewey cursed, "It can be built at this price for 5 Essex-class plus aircraft!"

MacArthur subconsciously curled his lips with disdain: Isn’t it just money? It’s just 600 million, what’s there to be reluctant to? Without these more than 1,000 units, the Air Force’s loopholes cannot be filled, and no one can drive the newly built and completed Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers of the Navy!

"In addition, I also tentatively put forward peace terms to Japan and exchanged economic interests for Japan's concessions in the Hawaiian Islands."

"Did the other party refuse?"

"There was no direct rejection, but a condition we could only refuse."

“What conditions?”

"Help Japan repay all debts to Germany and pay supplies equivalent to US$100 billion!"

Dewey was angry and angry: "They dare!"

"There is nothing to be afraid of, Hori Teiki has sent a telegram that if we reject these conditions, we will attack Hawaii Island in full on March 25."
