On the afternoon of September 14, 1942, the autumn air was crisp and everything was desolate.
Incheon, inside the Northeast Army Navy Headquarters. "Everyone," Zhang Xueliang's gaze was like a torch, and his piercing eyes were shining like the five gold stars of a super general on his shoulders, "the war between us and the United States is already imminent. Are you ready?"
In the hall of the General Headquarters, the general stars twinkled and the waves were white. More than a dozen senior officers of the Northeast Army in pure white navy uniforms also stared at Zhang Xueliang, their eyes burning with fire-like light. Admiral Shen Honglie, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, said in a long and solemn voice: "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Zhang, all naval units of the Northeast Field Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army are ready and ready to go to war at any time! The sharp edge is sharpened for thousands of days, and the sword will be unsheathed when the sword is brightened!"
All the senior navy generals looked extremely solemn and solemn, and said coldly with great momentum: "We are always ready!"
Zhang Xueliang nodded slightly: "Let the meeting begin!"
A huge map of the Pacific Ocean hangs on the front wall of the Navy Headquarters Hall, and in the center of the hall is a large globe that is more than ten meters tall. The vast blue ocean and the huge yellow Chinese territory surrounding the Indian Ocean are particularly eye-catching. "In the past, we have been working hard to maintain peace between China and the United States. This is obvious to everyone here." Zhang Xueliang's voice was emotionless but decisive, "However, in recent times, from ' From the Athena hospital ship incident to the espionage case in North Korea, all signs indicate that the U.S. government is deliberately trying to find excuses for war and is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on us! Today, we have reached the end of our patience and can no longer retreat. If we retreat, we will have to compete with the United States! The Americans are trying to frame us and provoke a war. Well, then we must let Roosevelt and his White House staff know what it means to go to war with us!"
On the huge Pacific Ocean map on the wall, the Northeastern Navy Fleet and the U.S. Pacific Fleet are intertwined and facing each other in the vast sea area from the Western Pacific to the South Pacific. The situation is tense and imminent.
"This is a close contest." Admiral Shen glanced at the generals under his command. "Since the end of the great sea battle in the English Channel, the German and British navies have almost died together. The main battleships of both sides, such as aircraft carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers, Basically all the battles were destroyed. Within five years, the German Navy's surface fleet could be said to be in ruins and its vitality was exhausted. The Italian Navy and other navies of our other allies basically did not have the strength to compete with the US Atlantic Fleet. The Soviet Union and Japanese navies can be ignored at this time. Therefore, the U.S. military only deployed a small number of large surface ships and a large number of escort aircraft carriers, light cruisers, destroyers, and submarine hunters in the Atlantic to deal with the German submarine force, while a large number of main battleships and new ships have been added to the Pacific Fleet. The intention is self-evident, because we have replaced the Japanese Navy and the German Navy as the most powerful enemy of the U.S. Navy. Currently, according to the latest information, the U.S. Navy has built 12 medium-sized or Light aircraft carriers, in addition to the 'Langley' which has been sunk by the German Navy, the 'Raider' which is deployed in the Atlantic Ocean, and the other two latest 'Essex' class aircraft carriers, the other eight are all organized Entered the Pacific Fleet, namely the USS Lexington, USS Saratoga, USS Yorktown, USS Enterprise, USS Wasp, USS Hornet, USS Franklin, The Ticonderoga' is a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of between 20,000 and 30,000 tons. The combat effectiveness of a single ship is no less than that of our army's Qinhuang-class medium-sized aircraft carrier. In addition, the main warships of the US Pacific Fleet also include 14 battleships, 14 heavy cruisers, and 18 light cruisers. The battleships are 2 'Arizona' class, 2 'Nevada' class, 1 'Utah' class, 2 new 'Tennessee' class, and 3 new 'Mississippi' class, 4 new 'Washington' class; heavy cruisers include 6 'Northampton' class and 8 'Astoria' class; light cruisers include 10 'Omaha' class class and 8 'Atlanta' class; in addition, there are more than 150 combat submarines of various types and more than 300 destroyers. However, most of their destroyers are old flat-deck ships from the First World War, and their combat effectiveness is far lower than that of our military. The 'Changchun'-class destroyers are not even as good as our military's 'Lushun'-class frigates. Dear friends, the Americans are very wealthy, with extremely strong industrial base and economic capital, so their Pacific Fleet is also strong and cannot be underestimated. This is an unprecedentedly powerful force. We must not underestimate our opponents.¡±
Lieutenant General Jiang Bin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy, continued: "After more than ten years of hard work, our navy has the capital to compete with the US Pacific Fleet. Our naval fleet is mainly divided into the Pacific Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Bohai Bay Coastal Defense Fleet?The United States of America has always been a close friend. Some time ago, the Nationalist Government has been trying hard to resolve many differences and conflicts between China and the United States through peaceful negotiations. However, the U.S. government has used this method to brutally violate Chinese territory and trample on China's national sovereignty. This is a blatant act of destroying peace and provoking war! We have no choice but to mobilize as a nation to defend our country! In view of the despicable unilateral sneak attack by the United States, the Minister of Defense, General Zhang Xueliang, and I, as well as the entire Nationalist Government, unanimously decided to declare war on the United States of America! "
Amid thunderous applause, China officially declared war on the United States. On the same day, the U.S. Congress also passed a resolution declaring war on China. On September 15, 1942, China and the United States officially entered a state of war, and the Pacific War began. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
