Due to the limitations of its own geographical environment, the Japanese nation formed a national gambler mentality after years of hard work.

In order to get out of the island country and seek greater space for survival and development, they often block the entire country.

When the September 18th Incident occurred, Japan itself was actually not ready. It was an attempt made by a group of gamblers with a gambling mentality.

During the September 18th Incident, the Japanese won their bet and captured the industrial and agricultural base of Manchuria in one fell swoop. The shortage of domestic resources and barren land were alleviated to a certain extent.

At the same time, the Japanese relied on the inherent industry in Northeast China to vigorously develop armaments, enhance military strength, and prepare for a full-scale invasion of China.

From 1937 to 1941, as the Chinese battlefield entered a stalemate stage, the benefits that the Japanese could obtain in China gradually became scarce, and gamblers began to turn their attention to other rich places in the world.

The gambling operation that once pressured the entire country began again.

August 18, 1941, August 17 local time in Hawaii, USA.

After several days of sailing, the huge Japanese fleet commanded by Japanese Navy Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto finally broke out of the waves and set its sights on Pearl Harbor.

At this time, Japanese diplomats were still negotiating with the Americans in Washington.

Some Japanese wearing the uniforms of United Fleet Navy officers were swinging in the streets of Tokyo.

Yamamoto Isoroku did these things just to increase the probability of winning the bet.

On the aircraft carrier Akagi, the flagship of the Combined Fleet, the Z flag was flying high, indicating that the operation had reached the final stage.

Isoroku Yamamoto tidied up his Admiral's uniform. Under the gazes of the people around him with respect or expectation, he picked up the intercom and said to the entire combined fleet:

"The rise and fall of the empire is in this battle. All your gentlemen, take action!"

The Japanese naval aviation personnel, who were already excited and uneasy, jumped on their planes one after another. Under the envious eyes of the people around them, they loudly shouted the slogan "Long live the Emperor and the Empire" and flew away from the aircraft carrier.

Target, Pearl Harbor!

It was a beautiful and sunny day in Hawaii on August 17. It was an extremely pleasant Sunday. Most of the naval officers and soldiers were still sleeping, but some civilians and officers had already gotten up and were enjoying this lazy Sunday morning.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, a bright light appeared on the first-of-its-kind advanced radar located in the mountains of Hawaii. The small dots on the display screen were simply brighter than the stars in the summer sky.

This radar was manufactured by the U.S. Navy based on the advanced technology provided by Jiangdong. It has just completed debugging and has been officially put into use.

When he first saw the dense lights on the radar, the radar operator's first reaction was that this so-called advanced radar was down again.

The operator on duty did not realize the danger at all. He called his companions and slowly began to check various components of the radar. It was not until he confirmed that all components were working properly that the operator on duty felt something was wrong.

The radar was telling the operator that a large number of enemy planes were approaching at high speed.

The radar station operator called the Pacific Command duty room and informed the officer on duty of his findings.

The officer on duty saw hundreds of planes approaching Pearl Harbor every day, but his mood calmed down and he said nonchalantly:

"It should be our own plane arriving from the mainland, don't panic, enjoy the weekend, soldier..."

After listening to the officer's words, the watchman shrugged and began to enjoy coffee with his companions while paying attention to the radar casually.

The air detection range of this new radar exceeds 300 kilometers. If the U.S. Navy pays enough attention to it, the tragedy may be avoided.

At the same time that the radar station discovered the target, the staff of the U.S. Navy's telegram deciphering team also discovered some anomalies and reported their findings to the Commander of the Pacific Fleet.

The commander of the Pacific Fleet himself could not make up his mind, so he had to report the findings of all parties to Washington truthfully.

At 7:35 am, the first Japanese aircraft arrived over Pearl Harbor.

The Japanese pilot was in great distress. He flew his plane in a circle over Pearl Harbor and surrounding military facilities, and found that soldiers and civilians on land were enjoying a pleasant weekend. No one noticed him at all in the morning.

The Japanese pilots were overjoyed, raised their altitude, and sent a "Tiger Tiger Tiger" signal to the rear fleet.

The Japanese navy was in high spirits after receiving the signal, and the second and third batches of attack aircraft immediately took off.

As the time approached 8 o'clock, the officers and soldiers on the U.S. Pacific Navy battleship were preparing to raise the flag and sing the national anthem.

The naval officers and soldiers on the deck suddenly discovered a large group of aircraft coming from the south. These aircraft were flying almost close to the sea level.

It approached Pearl Harbor at a very high speed, and when it arrived at the port, something was thrown out from under the belly of the aircraft.

The naval officers and soldiers looked suspiciously into the sea. Dozens of torpedoes dragged a long waterline, and the sharks opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards the warship.

At this moment, the American brain was confused and had no idea what was happening.

They watched blankly as the torpedoes approached, and then watched as the outer warships were hit, exploded and caught fire, and then thick black smoke rose.

"Attack!"

The Japanese planes began to dive and strafe, and the Americans finally saw the plaster flags on the wings clearly.

After the torpedo planes, there were level bombers, dive bombers and attack fighters. Japanese pilots picked up the large warships parked in Pearl Harbor one by one like a roll call!

With the arrival of the second and third attack formations, the Japanese began to spread the attack scope from Pearl Harbor to surrounding airports and other military facilities.

The huge warship sank into the dark deep sea with hundreds of navy sailors. The Americans beat desperately in the cabin, but to no avail. In the end, they could only watch the seawater submerge themselves.

The huge Pacific Fleet, with many battleships, cruisers, and even an aircraft carrier, had no room to fight back under the attack of the Japanese. They could only watch the warship explode and catch fire, and finally disintegrate and sink.

The performance of the Zero fighter far exceeded that of the aircraft equipped by the U.S. Navy. Even if a few American pilots who were not afraid of death were lucky enough to get the plane into the air, they would not escape the fate of being eaten by Japanese naval pilots.

At 8:10, a clear telegram was sent from Pearl Harbor to the U.S. Navy.

"Pearl Harbor is under air attack. Please note, this is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

The senior U.S. Navy officials who received the telegram simply did not believe the news.

The Japanese are about to take military action, and all Americans know this.

But they also believe that the starting place for Japanese military operations will be the Philippines and Southeast Asia!

Pearl Harbor and Hawaii were so far away, and the main force of the Pacific Fleet was stationed there. How could the Japanese be so bold?

From 7:35 to 9:40, the Japanese attack planes arrived fiercely. After a heavy blow, they retreated in a swaggering manner.

All the warships anchored in Pearl Harbor were severely damaged, and not a single one was intact.

Airports, oil depots, ammunition depots, repair shops, etc. on land were also hit!

There were flames and rising black smoke everywhere.

The blue waters of Pearl Harbor gradually turned blood red, and some oil slicks were still burning.

Navy soldiers struggled and heaved in the sea.

Before retreating, the Japanese pilots would sweep their last bursts of bullets into the sea and feed the struggling sailors to the sharks.

After the successful attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan's Tojo cabinet officially declared a state of war against the United States and Britain.

In the afternoon, the President of the White House braced himself and came to Congress. He regretfully announced to the people of the United States:

“On December 7, the Pacific Fleet suffered a long-planned attack by other countries!

Dear people, this day will be our eternal national humiliation day!"

The President also announced:

"The Japanese army attacked the Philippine Islands, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Guam...

The United States and Japan are already in a state of war, and we will not stop until we avenge Pearl Harbor!"

People across the United States are furious, and every state is denouncing the despicability of the Japanese.

The Senate and House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the president's declaration of war with a high vote rate.

The United States officially joins World War II.

Fatty Qiu, who was struggling to support him in Great Britain, burst into tears when he heard the news. He almost knelt down in front of Japanese Navy Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, and swallowed his beautiful words as they reached his lips.

He said to the people beside him who were also in tears:

"America joins the war. Our hard days are finally over, and God's holy light will shine on Great Britain again!"

Unlike past volunteer battles with covert support, this time it was a full-scale declaration of war.

On that day, the British government, which was almost in exile, declared a state of war with Japan.

Ten years after the September 18th Incident and four years after the Sino-Japanese war broke out, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing proudly raised his head and finally declared war on Japanese imperialism.

The Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress kept Jiang Dong's reminder in mind and took the initiative to call the President in the White House to express that the Republic of China was willing to stand together with anti-fascist countries around the world, establish an anti-fascist alliance as soon as possible, and work together to strive for a brighter day to come earlier.

The grieving father, who was about to lose his temper after being beaten by the Third Reich, also showed a long-lost smile.

He put down his pipe, lit a cigar that he had treasured for a long time, and took a nice puff.

The Soviet Union is in difficulty now, but it will eventually get better.

The mustached Prime Minister and Mussolini, who were hostile parties, were not happy.

Especially Prime Minister Mustachio, who repeatedly urged Japan to join forces with the Third Reich to attack the Soviet Union from east to west. The latter delayed action and instead provoked a new and powerful enemy. It was really hateful and deadly.

But things have happened, and Prime Minister Mustache can only rack his brains to make bad things turn into good things.

After two days of hesitation, Germany and Italy simultaneously declared war on the United States in accordance with the Three-Power Treaty.

After the three countries reached an alliance, several new military agreements were added based on the previously signed treaties.

The new agreement has something to say,

We will never lay down our weapons until we achieve complete victory in the war against the United States, Britain, and China.

Nor is any country allowed to make peace alone, requiring both countries to advance and retreat together.

…Both the Fascist Alliance and the Anti-Fascist Alliance will be established, and the world will be divided into two camps.

The world war will enter a new stage from this day on.
