Another general he highly appreciated has now been promoted to brigadier general and become his personal chief military adviser. He is also well-known, that is, General Bradley, who is often the queen of Patton. Now the United States has entered a state of war in an all-round way. It can be said that the whole world is against the United States. Japan and Germany are attacking the United States from the East and the west, which makes the US fleet have to deal with threats from both directions at the same time.
"More than half of the members of parliament have accepted the fact of declaring war with Germany. What's the use of saying that? Why don't you think about how to make war money? That's what you businessmen should do! " Eisenhower was a few years younger than Rommel. He was definitely a representative general of the young generation. He didn't have to worry about the tone of his words. After all, the two sides were not in the same system and didn't have to care about anything.
A month ago, the Japanese soldiers on lovely island finally killed themselves and ended their war of aggression. More than 10000 starving Japanese soldiers launched a decisive charge against the landing American troops. Unfortunately, the United States did not have the spirit of Bushido to greet them. It opened fire fiercely and retaliated with bullets for the poor idea that the Japanese wanted to fight for bayonets.
So the Americans recaptured their island in the center of the Pacific Ocean, but within a few days they were in a new crisis. The joint fleet of the Japanese Navy chased general Spruance's sub fleet of aircraft carriers all the way from the Philippine waters to the periphery of lovely island, and the second battle for lovely island began.
However, compared with the previous time, the strategic deployment made by the Americans on the Hawaiian Islands is countless times stronger. At least 400 improved P-40 fighters have been deployed on Oahu Island. It is estimated that if they want to eat up this huge number of U.S. Army Air Force, the Japanese Navy's air force will definitely crack their teeth.
Of course, the Japanese side is not unprepared. Yamamoto knows that it is impossible to win an overwhelming victory only with his Navy's fighters. So for the first time, he cooperated with the generals of the Ministry of the army, bringing in a total of 70000 Japanese infantry, carrying some heavy equipment and large caliber support artillery, hoping to use infantry to quickly solve the U.S. Army on the Hawaiian Islands.
And this time, the carrier fleet of the Japanese Navy is pouring out. Not only the four main aircraft carriers under general Nan yunzhongyi, but also the other four modified aircraft carriers of general 7788. They have increased the number of their own aircraft carriers to eight, nearly three times that of the US fleet. There are more than 600 carrier based aircraft, including more than 200 new zero fighters.
This time, the Japanese army dispatched as many as four reorganized divisions to form a complete front army. The veteran and ruthless general, general Fengwen Yamashita, acted as the commander of the front army and was fully responsible for the road combat task of occupying the Hawaiian Islands.
This Yamashita Fengwen is another time and space in which he is known as the general of the Malay tiger in Japan. In this time and space, his achievements are even more brilliant. He is a pioneer in invading the Philippines and seizing Malaysia, so he is also known as the Malay tiger. However, before he was sent to the Philippines, his achievements were not very brilliant, and he suffered two defeats in the Chinese battlefield, It seems to have been cast a psychological shadow by several Chinese German mechanics.
It is obvious that the psychological shadow of the Chinese dexterous engineers did not affect his level of fighting monkeys in the Philippines. He led Japan's troops southward to attack Malaysia from the Philippines. If it was not for the shortage of a commander in the tight Hawaiian Islands, he might have been sent to Australia, which is rich in resources.
"Is the military sure about the second battle of the Hawaiian Islands?" Roosevelt knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to the United States. He urgently needed a victory to boost the morale of the allies, and indeed needed a victory to consolidate his presidency.
It is obvious that it is only a distant dream to defeat Rommel in the Middle East and take back Alexandria in one go, because the United States has not yet won a large-scale victory over Germany - so it is a very natural choice to defeat Japan in another direction. After all, not long ago, the United States just beat Japan once, and it seemed very relaxed.
So he anxiously inquired about the preparations for the battle. Even if possible, he wanted to go to the Hawaiian Islands in person to see if the preparations there were as perfect as the report said.
"In the message sent by general Nimitz, he said that he would try his best to deplete the Japanese Navy, especially the air force, in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands." Eisenhower took out a message stuffed in his pocket and handed it to President Roosevelt: "Brigadier General Bradley has just arrived at dawahu with the supply ship. He will command the troops there to hold on to the last moment. If we can win, then this war will completely lay the foundation for us to gain strategic initiative in the Pacific Ocean."
"Can the army really resist the Japanese landing? Last time, but it didn't take long to lose lovely island. " Asked Roosevelt, still a little uneasy.
"Mr. President, we've tried our best. I can't promise you that we will keep there, but I promise you that we will do everything we can to guard the island." Eisenhower replied firmly.
"I'm more or less relieved to hear that." Roosevelt nodded, then motioned to his housekeeper to push his wheelchair. Eisenhower followed the wheelchair, and the three men walked slowly toward the end of the corridor. At the end, Roosevelt suddenly said, "our military aid to the Soviet Union has doubled. At least 300 tanks and 200 planes have been sent to the Far East. I hope that this time the Soviet people will not let us down and can buy us enough time in the East."“ According to the intelligence department, a German intelligence organization called beehive or beehive has been working in the Soviet Union. Although the Soviets tried to eliminate the spy network several times, they failed. " Eisenhower said helplessly: "Stalin also attached importance to this information after receiving our notice. He felt that the Soviet winter offensive had been known by the Germans, so he decided to launch an attack as soon as possible to disrupt the German deployment."“ That's a good thing. At least we can't be led by the nose to the end by the Germans! " Roosevelt touched the armrest of his wheelchair and said in a deep voice, "try to send 100 tanks and 100 fighters to the Soviet Union to support them in organizing a new offensive on the eastern front as soon as possible."“ Yes! Mr. President Eisenhower said at attention.
