Chapter 584

There are many meanings in the passage: first, there is no problem with General Patton's decision; Second, I support his decision; Third, you British people still depend on our supplies; Fourth, it's important to protect Egypt. If Tobruk is lost, he will be lost.

The British special envoy met with a snuff in Roosevelt's office and had to return to Canada with the result. The matter really ended up like this. The king of England decided to let the sensible Montgomery shut up and forget the unhappiness. Obviously, Montgomery also forgot tobrook according to the order.

It's such a wise decision, because it's much easier to shut Montgomery up than it is to shut Barton up. That's why Montgomery ended up as a marshal, and Barton was just a three-star general until he died. It has been proved that sometimes being mean mouthed, bad tempered and stubborn will affect the income, position and even life. If you don't believe it, please continue to refer to Yue Fei and Barton.

However, it turns out that it is not just akado who has the capacity to trust and give room to Rommel. Roosevelt was also supporting Barton and his generals to fight for the victory of the United States.

Another piece of bad news for Japan came in late June 1938, and the cause of the bad news turned out to be great news. Of course, at this time, the whole country of Japan was celebrating, and only akado, who got the information, almost spat on Anna's face.

Intelligence shows that Japan has finally stepped out of a different pace. The Japanese joint fleet appeared on Wake Island and launched a naval battle on Wake Island with the remaining main force of the Pacific fleet of the US Navy. Both sides sent out carrier based aircraft to attack each other's fleet from a very long distance. As a result, the huge naval battle ended with the Japanese Navy's complete victory.

This unprecedented naval battle made the United States lose three newly repaired battleships and get on the only aircraft carrier. The entire US Pacific Fleet was almost completely annihilated. Japanese soldiers successfully landed on Wake Island. The US garrison surrendered and more than 1700 people were captured.

Such an unprecedented victory did not even occur to Yamamoto of Japan. He thought the U.S. Navy would retreat to Midway Island or Hawaii, but he did not expect to lose the residual strength of the entire Pacific Fleet in the small Wake Island. Now the U.S. military has nothing to stop the Japanese attack. With the existence of the Japanese joint fleet, Hawaii and Australia are already in the bag of the Japanese army.

So where does the bad news come from? With this document in his hand, akado knew that the good life of the Japanese Navy was coming to an end. The reason is no other than that the US Navy has lost too much this time.

In this war, several senior generals of the US Navy were nearly dead, wounded and wounded, and the rest were still used to carry the black pot. As a result, such a large US Navy could not find a decent commander to command the Pacific Fleet, which was greatly damaged. After a while, the Americans chose a young, less famous general, Nimitz, a 51 year old Naval General.

You know, the age of 50 is not young in the German command class. After all, the head of state, akkado himself, once became a senior general of the national defense force at the age of 26. His famous generals goodrian, Rommel and Manstein are all about 50 years old, and German commanders have become the youngest and most energetic general team in the world.

The U.S. Navy was originally about seniority, and seniority can't take the place of Nimitz, who is still very young and doesn't have a high rank. However, the Wake Island Naval Battle almost lost the older generation of US Navy generals, which created a perfect opportunity for the young Nimitz.

Akkado knew that Nimitz was the commander in chief of the US Navy in winning the battle of Midway Island. He was also the main general of the US Navy in the battle of Wright Bay and the counterattack against Japan. However, if you want to know the real horror of Nimitz, you can see it clearly by looking at his resume.

After graduating from the military academy, Nimitz served as the captain of a gunboat, and then promoted to the commander of a destroyer. Later, he went to Germany to study engineering technology, and served as the captain of an oil tanker. Then, he worked in the submarine force, and later he became the commander of a destroyer from the beginning. After the end of the first World War, he was ordered to participate in the construction of the Pearl Harbor Naval base. Then he went to school for further study and served as a naval instructor. Then he successively served as submarine fleet commander, destroyer captain and heavy cruiser captain. Then he went back to civilian work and worked as assistant director of the navigation bureau. Later, because of the Pearl Harbor incident, he was promoted to sub fleet commander to command the battle of battleships.

From this point of view, we can see why he became a famous general of the U.S. Navy. This guy has done everything from gunboats to battleships, from engineering technology to logistics supply. He has been an instructor and an assistant, so he can deal with interpersonal relationships properly; He has been in charge of command and technology. Naturally, he can understand all aspects of a fleet. Do you remember that akkado once deliberately asked goodrian to squat in the logistics force for several years? By comparing goodrian's position in the armored forces, you can guess what Nimitz knew about the U.S. Navy.

So the news that Nimitz is the U.S. Pacific Fleet, of course, akkado knows that for Japan, the bad news is coming. However, the Japanese Navy and even the base camp do not have such an awareness. They are celebrating the heroic battle of annihilating the US Pacific Fleet.

In various shrines, monks carried banners and sang praises of the great achievements of the front-line soldiers. The emperor of Japan even attended the celebration ceremony in the imperial palace. Yamamoto 56, commander of the Japanese Navy's joint fleet, received a congratulatory message for his promotion before he returned to his native land. He became another marshal of the Japanese Navy after Dong Xiangping. The Japanese Navy won a great victory in the offshore area of Wake Island, and the army also captured several islands in the Philippines and Malaysia, getting closer and closer to Australia. For the Japanese army, whether it can beat the navy in the limelight depends on the battle for Australia. In order to prepare for the Australian War, Japan expanded its army by 500000. The army ministry ordered: "men over 18 years old and under 40 years old should fight for their country and should not delay." Sorry for the late update
