Chapter 1549

"The Japanese fleet disappeared?" Ouyang Yun asked in surprise at the Dongshan Fleet Headquarters.

The staff officer who came to report nodded cautiously and said: "Chief of Staff Chiang wrote in the telegram that the Japanese fleet was not seen within 350 kilometers of waters in the southeast, southwest, and due south of Taiwan Island. "

Chen Yuanyang murmured, "The Japanese didn't feint, did they? Or, what happened?"

Qi Minghao: "Is this possible? The Japanese didn't come here for Taiwan."

"You mean, the destination of the Japanese fleet is not Taiwan? Where would it be? Northeast? Shanghai? Impossible."

Chen Yuanyang and Qi Minghao both felt very puzzled while talking.

The speaker had no intention of hearing but the listener did, Ouyang Yun suddenly thought of something, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help standing up.

His move came suddenly, and the movement range was relatively large, which shocked a group of naval officers in the headquarters.Everyone looked over, but they heard the commander-in-chief muttering: "No way, is the Pacific War going to break out early? It's hard to say, this old lunatic Yamamoto meets this little lunatic Koizumi, everything is possible..." Everyone was puzzled What he said, he couldn't help but look at each other.

A huge fleet of more than 100 ships, this scale, let alone attacking Taiwan Island, is enough to raid a country.However, its target is not Taiwan, so where else could it be? The words "raid on Pearl Harbor" suddenly popped up in his mind, and Ouyang Yun's expression immediately became bright.

For the United States, because of the influence of the time and space environment, Ouyang Yun never had a real good impression from the beginning to the end.Not only did he not have a good impression, but he was also deeply wary.Don't look at his fierce fight with the US government on the surface, but secretly he is carrying out vicious calculations.

Why the Japanese were able to obtain some information on advanced ordnance from Xue Bingjun, and now even the most advanced type of semiconductor components in the world, was not because of how good the Japanese were in espionage work, but because Ouyang Yun was willing to give it to them.This is undoubtedly playing with fire, but because it may cause the United States to be unfavorable in its war against Japan, and even cause major war losses, and the Xuebing Army may benefit from it, so he cannot refuse this temptation.

Ouyang Yun is not a god, even if he tried his best, he would never think that the target of the Japanese this time is the Dutch East Indies.He took it for granted that the Japanese would implement the plan of "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor" ahead of time, and he couldn't help but feel troubled—should he notify the US military?
This is really a difficult decision, and it is also playing with fire. If it is not done well, it will really change the outcome of World War II.Chen Yuanyang and the others looked at the commander-in-chief standing there, with changing expressions on their faces and sparkling eyes. They all didn't know what was going on, and looked at him quietly, no one dared to make a sound.

After a full 6 minutes, Ouyang Yun let out a sigh of relief and said to the staff officer, "Call Jiang Chuanjun back and ask him to closely monitor the waters around Taiwan to prevent the Japanese fleet from attacking."

"Yes!" The staff officer responded loudly, then saluted and walked out.

In the end, Ouyang Yun decided to take a gamble.It's not a bet on the US Pacific Fleet, but a bet that the cadet army will be able to win the final victory.After making up his mind, he looked at the others, noticed their strangeness, and said, "We should do what we should do, and be prepared."

Everyone nodded and continued their work.Chen Yuanyang, Qi Minghao and Ouyang Yun continued the previous topic, and the headquarters quickly returned to normal.

The distance between Hawaii and the Japanese mainland is about [-] kilometers. At the speed of the Japanese fleet, it will take at least two weeks to arrive from Nagasaki Nagasaki Naval Port.

One day, two days... After a week passed, there was still no trace of the Japanese fleet in the waters around Taiwan. Ouyang Yun couldn't help but become certain that the Japanese were really going to attack the US Pacific Fleet in advance this time.

At this time, after completing a voyage of more than [-] kilometers, the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet had arrived at Chuuk Island, known as the "Pearl Harbor of Japan", and began its final combat preparations.

Chuuk Island is located in the central part of the Garin Islands, southwest of the Marshall Islands, and north of the Solomon Islands. After World War I, it became a Japanese mandate.Because of its special geographical location, the Japanese attach great importance to the strategic role of this enclave, and intend to build it into "Gibraltar in the Pacific Ocean". The largest naval port, and won the name of "Pearl Harbor of Japan".

Yamamoto 56 is very particular about using this place as the source of its Indian Ocean strategy.One, it can allow the Western Expedition Fleet to avoid the nuisance of the Air Force of the Academy; two, it can block threats from the Pacific Ocean; If the East India launches an attack, it can have the effect of closing the door and beating the dog.

It was a merchant ship of the United States that first discovered the appearance of the Japanese Western Expeditionary Fleet in the Garin Islands.The scale of the Western Expedition Fleet is too large, as long as anyone with a little military common sense, the first reaction to seeing this fleet is definitely scalp tingling.The captain of the merchant ship, Pisher, received a report from his crew, boarded the watchtower and looked forward to the left. When he saw an endless line of warships flying the Japanese flag, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the watchtower.Trembling and frightened, he came down from the watchtower. He crossed himself on his chest and murmured, "Oh my God! Why did the Japanese warships appear here? What do they want to do?"

When the merchant ship discovered the Japanese fleet, it was also discovered by the Japanese fleet.The two frigates immediately approached the merchant ship, and the ones far away raised flags to make them stay where they were.Pishe's reaction was quick. While ordering to stop, he asked the first officer to report the situation to the shipping company immediately.

Naturally, the merchant ship was detained by the Japanese without exception, but because the captain Pishe reported to the shipping company in time, the whereabouts of the Western Expedition Fleet became no secret.

Ouyang Yun learned the news three days later.At this time, the United States has already turned upside down.It is not a secret that Japan has a naval military base on Chuuk Island. Geographically speaking, the base is the closest to the Philippines, which is a colony of the United States. It's the Philippines.

Don't talk about how the Japanese and the Americans gossip about explaining the attempt of the Western Expedition Fleet, just talk about Ouyang Yun's reaction.He immediately found the world map, and then stared at the map in a daze.

Ten minutes later, when the naval officers were worried and worried that the commander-in-chief might be in trouble, he slapped the Sumatra island heavily and said, "Damn it, what a plan!"
