"You don't have to worry about the Army Aviation. Now our fighter jets have begun full-scale mass production and production is continuing to grow. Next, the Army Aviation's fighter jets will continue to expand. Now all you need to do is prepare for the Navy.
Now our shipbuilding base is vigorously building aircraft carriers and other warships, but because the Beiping Fleet has suffered heavy losses, I estimate that the aircraft carriers that have been in service recently will be assigned to the Beiping Fleet. You need to plan the use of the aircraft carriers carefully. "
Mike A looked at Nimitz and said. To seize Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, the most critical thing is the naval aircraft carrier, so MacA needs Nimitz to plan the navy well, and the navy must not cause problems.
Citi, capital, supreme court martial
While MacA and Nimitz were discussing the next battle plan, a major trial was taking place at the Supreme Court Military Court in Citi City.
The person on trial was naturally Halsey, the former commander of the North Pacific Fleet and the general who narrowly escaped with his life during the Battle of Attu Island.
Lao Luo sat quietly in the VIP seat below, quietly watching the trial in front of him.
Although Lao Luo is the governor and the highest military commander in the country, he has no way to interfere with the military court-martial.
Just like the institution¡¯s highest court, the presiding judge of the Supreme Court Military Tribunal will not listen to him. He will only judge whether these generals are guilty and how serious their guilt is.
This is a court that is not very different from a court institution, except that it judges ordinary people or agency officials.
And this only judges soldiers.
Wearing a military uniform and carrying two general stars on his shoulders, Halsey was in the defendant's seat. Although he was tried by a military court, his military honors were not stripped away.
"General Halsey, during the Battle of Attu Island, due to your faulty command, 21,000 soldiers were killed and more than 3,000 soldiers were captured. Do you plead guilty to this crime?"
A judge sitting in front of the presiding judge, holding a piece of paper in his hand, lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
Everyone, including those in the audience, looked at Halsey. It can be said that they all had different thoughts about this general who almost destroyed an entire fleet.
Some people believe that the failure of this battle cannot be blamed on Halsey. He has fought to the best of his ability. The emergence of the Chinese submarine force was something no one could have imagined.
¡° Others believe that if it weren¡¯t for Halsey¡¯s persistence, more than 20,000 Citiboys would not have died in the battle, and more than 3,000 Citiboys would have been captured.
"I plead guilty!"
After a long time, Halsey raised her head and said with a somewhat lonely look.
He felt that he was indeed sorry for those Citi boys. He took them out of the country but failed to bring them back.
"Plaintiff's lawyer, do you have anything else to say?"
The presiding judge turned to look at the lawyer at the plaintiff¡¯s table and asked. The plaintiffs in this military court are mainly from the Department of War.
"I guess I have nothing more to say."
To be honest, this lawyer actually didn¡¯t want to be the plaintiff¡¯s lawyer, because in his heart, Halsey¡¯s failure could not simply deny his efforts.
No one expected the emergence of the Chinese submarine force. Even sonar could not detect it. How could Halsey know?
Even if you want to blame it, you might as well blame the scientific research department at this time. They are the ones who made Citigroup¡¯s technology fall behind. It's just that you can't say this!
"Since the defendant"
"I still have something to say!"
Just when the presiding judge was about to announce Halsey's punishment, a man suddenly walked in from the outside, an Army soldier who was in his fifties but looked in good spirits with five shining stars on his shoulders. The admiral came in.
"General Eisenhower!"
When everyone saw this person, they immediately exclaimed. They knew this person. He was the current general of Citigroup, Eisenhower. He was also the commander-in-chief of the North Pacific region and was responsible for the command of the entire battlefield.
But when they saw this person walking in, they suddenly understood that if someone else wanted to break into the military court, it would be impossible, and the guards outside would not be able to let him go.
But if it¡¯s him who comes here for his subordinates, then there is a certain possibility.
"I have something else to say. I don't think Halsey's actions can be entirely blamed for this battle.On. I am the commander-in-chief of the North Pacific region, and I am well aware of the process of the naval battle on Attu Island that occurred some time ago.
In the previous stage of command, General Halsey made the most correct choice based on the battlefield situation at that time. It is not easy to use Army aviation and Hainan aviation to fight against the Chinese army. It is not easy to maintain the entire battlefield from being defeated when one's own radar lags behind the opponent's.
The subsequent failure should be attributed to the sudden appearance of the Chinese submarine force. Now we all know that China has more advanced submarines than Germany.
Not only can our sonar be unable to detect it, we even know that their new submarines do not even need to surface to launch torpedoes, and it is even less possible for our naval observers to detect their submarine force.
This point has already appeared in the previous Coral Sea Battle, so I think the failure of the Attu Island Battle cannot be entirely blamed on General Halsey.
It would be unfair and humane to General Halsey if we put the responsibility for the failure of the campaign on him. It is also an insult to our soldiers who died on the front lines. "
What Eisenhower said can be said to be resounding and powerful. Obviously, he is supporting Halsey. He believed that Halsey was indeed what Lao Luo and the others thought, that he was an excellent naval general.
The failure of the battle on Attu Island was a huge loss, but this cannot deny Halsey's ability.
Eisenhower paused for a moment before continuing: "We all know that we are facing an enemy that is unfamiliar to us. We don't know where he is, we don't know how many he has, and we don't know who he is. Under the premise of when to attack, it is impossible to command a fleet to discover it in advance.
It¡¯s impossible for anyone, even if I were to direct it, I couldn¡¯t do it. Under this premise, General Halsey also retained two aircraft carriers for our great Citi. Although ten aircraft carriers were lost, nearly half of the other warships in the Northern Fleet were retained.
As long as we add more aircraft carriers, the Northern Fleet can quickly regain its combat effectiveness. And all this is the credit of the general who is sitting here being judged by us.
So I think General Halsey should be acquitted and allowed to rebuild the Northern Fleet and continue fighting against China instead of sitting here being judged by us. We are not qualified to judge a man who has just walked off the battlefield. hero! ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
