Chapter 328 Attack on Pearl Harbor

Rao Jialiang told the liaison officer of Zhang Minghui's idea to the Soviet side. The Soviet side never thought that Zhang Minghui would refuse. You must know that Zhang Minghui's benefits were much higher than the Soviet side. Zhang Minghui actually refused, which was never expected by the liaison officer. , he can't make the decision, he can only go back and ask Stalin for instructions!

Zhang Minghui asked to tell Stalin that the Chinese have never been afraid of war. Even if we fight it for another ten or twenty years, China will still be China and will not perish!

After Stalin heard the news, he was very surprised. It turns out that Zhang Minghui is not the kind of person who wants to be king and hegemony, but a man in the true sense. Yes, even if a country is united, it does not even have the most basic territorial sovereignty. What kind of country is it if it is not under its own control?

Stalin thought very clearly that if Zhang Minghui was willing, he would not mind millions of Soviet troops joining China's War of Resistance Against Japan, so that the future benefits would be maximized. Of course, Germany had to be prevented from making a comeback. Stalin did not dare Decisively attack the Northeast, because Little Japan is currently China's enemy. If the Soviet Union declares war on China at this moment, it means that it has joined the ranks of the Axis powers. Stalin can't express it casually. alright!

After Stalin expressed his intentions to Zhang Minghui, Zhang Minghui was relieved and took the time to train his aircraft team. Zhang Minghui was ready to attack Tianjin. When the time comes, the land and air battle will definitely look different!

Japan drew up two combat orientations in the early stage, namely "going south" and "going north".At first, Japan valued the rich war resources of the Soviet Union, and planned to invade the Soviet Union and occupy Siberia.

From May to September 1939, Japan launched a large-scale tentative strategic attack on the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces in the Nomonhan area, 5 kilometers south of Hailar on the Sino-Mongolian border, as planned.The two sides mobilized hundreds of thousands of elite troops and advanced military equipment for a fierce confrontation that lasted more than four months on the wasteland overgrown with weeds and rolling sand dunes.Due to backwardness in military thought and tactical technology, Japan suffered its first and worst defeat since the Russo-Japanese War.

After the "Northward" defeat, the dream of attacking the Soviet Union and occupying Siberia came to naught, so they turned around and planned "Southwardly" to seize greater war resources (oil) in order to annex the world to reserve subsequent resources in the future.

In Nanyang, there were British, Dutch, and American colonies at that time, which added difficulties to Japan's plan to go south.Coupled with the shortage of oil, they did not hesitate to take a risk to blow up Pearl Harbor in the United States.

In 1940, Hitler planned the "Sea Lion Action" against Britain, requiring the Japanese army and Germany to fight against Britain at the same time. The Japanese army expelled all British nationals in China and seized British interests in China.The actions of the Japanese army directly affected the interests of Britain and the United States.In order to give the Japanese army a little warning, the United States froze trade with Japan. Among them was high-octane oil, which was necessary for war. Without oil, the Japanese army’s combat equipment would not be able to move, and the ships would break down, meaning that it would be impossible to continue their aggression. In order to ensure normal aggression, they plundered oil. , The Japanese army decided to take a risk.

In addition, Japan's oil can only last for half a year. Japan understands that it must either withdraw its troops from China, stop its external expansion, and move closer to the United States diplomatically.Either form their own banner, go south to seize strategic resources, and continue to strengthen foreign aggression.There are colonies of the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands in Nanyang, and entering Nanyang is tantamount to declaring war on the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands.

Pearl Harbor on the Pacific Ocean is a major transportation hub. Hawaii is 2000 nautical miles to 3000 nautical miles from the west coast of the United States to the east, Japan to the west, the islands to the southwest, and Alaska and the Bering Strait to the north. The planes going there all use Hawaii as the stopover.Japan believes that seizing air and sea control in the Pacific Ocean first means that the road to the south will be unimpeded, and Pearl Harbor must be destroyed first, so Japan planned the Pearl Harbor raid.

The Japanese government decided to seize resources in Southeast Asia as an answer to the embargo.Can't they assume that, if they do get their act together, America will stand by?This is why Yamamoto 56 considered eliminating the power of the United States in the Pacific Ocean beforehand.Japan's Allied Fleet Admiral Yamamoto 56's plan to attack the naval base at Pearl Harbor was a tactical step in the achievement of this strategic objective.Japanese sources show that Yamamoto began thinking about attacking Pearl Harbor in early 1941.A few months later, after doing some preliminary research, he was given the green light to begin preparations for the operation.There was strong opposition within the Japanese Navy to such a move.Yamamoto threatened to retire if the operation was discontinued.

Sure enough, at an imperial meeting attended by the Emperor of Japan in person, this action was officially approved. In November, at another imperial meeting attended by the emperor himself, the decision to send troops to the Pacific was approved.It was also decided at the November meeting that the operation would only be abandoned if the United States fully agreed to Japan's main demands.

The purpose of the attack on Pearl Harbor was to (at least temporarily) eliminate the main force of the US Navy in the Pacific.56 Yamamoto, the mastermind of the attack on Pearl Harbor, believed that a successful attack would only bring about a year or so of strategic advantage.

Japan has been at war with China since 1931, after Japan occupied Manchuria.Japan began planning to attack Pearl Harbor to gain a strategic advantage. After some internal discussions and disputes in the navy, the Japanese Navy began to conduct rigorous training for this operation from the middle of the year.

The Imperial Japanese Navy surprises the United States, bombing battleships and military targets in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. More than 350 Japanese aircraft carried out two waves of attacks on the Pearl Harbor naval base, dropping armor-piercing bombs and launching torpedoes on American battleships and cruisers.Unprepared, the U.S. troops woke up to the bang of the explosion and hastily defended themselves.The entire preemptive attack was over in 90 minutes, during which time the Japanese sank four battleships and two destroyers, destroyed 188 aircraft and damaged many more buildings, ships and aircraft.Some 2400 Americans were killed in the attack; another 1250 were injured, and it was a huge shock to the United States.Following the attack, Japan formally declared war on the United States, and the following day, President Roosevelt delivered his famous "Infamy" speech, before signing a formal declaration of war against the Japanese Empire.Within days, Nazi Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, which quickly declared war in response.

It's not that Zhang Minghui didn't know about Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. It's just that this incident actually happened. Under the transport of the aircraft carrier, the little devil transported the plane to Hawaii, which caught the Americans by surprise. This deepened Zhang Minghui's love for the aircraft carrier longing!You must know that in China in the 21st century, there is still no aircraft carrier, and I don’t know when China’s dream of an aircraft carrier will be realized. Now that the little devil has declared war on the United States, the Pacific War broke out, and the Chinese battlefield is afraid that there is only defense, and there is no time to take care of it. At this time, if you want to have an aircraft carrier, you can only grab it. At this time, in the harbor of Shanghai, there are small The devil's two aircraft carriers, Zhang Minghui officially started the idea of ​​these two aircraft carriers!
