"Mr. Prime Minister, there is a telegram from Secretary of State Hull. He wants to talk to us about the Pacific battlefield."
Geely Foreign Minister Wood walked into Fatty Qiu¡¯s office, looked at Fatty Qiu and said.
"Damn it! These damn flag guys, they always think about our navy. Don't they know that the only thing left in the empire now is the navy?"
As soon as Fatty Qiu heard the news, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and cursed.
"I heard that Citigroup suffered heavy losses in the North Pacific battlefield. Ten aircraft carriers were sunk, and about half of the other warships were sunk. Now Citigroup seriously lacks naval power in the North Pacific, so I think this is why they The reason why they want us to send troops!"
Wood said helplessly, although he, the foreign minister, is not interested in Citigroup's rhetoric, and even dislikes Citigroup's rhetoric to a certain extent.
But he also knows that he does not have the right to refuse this kind of thing. The only one who can refuse now is Fatty Qiu, the Prime Minister.
Fatty Qiu's face changed with uncertainty for a while before he said: "Send a telegram to Citi Secretary of State Hull. I hope he can come tomorrow to have detailed discussions on the Geely Army's participation in the Pacific War."
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
At noon the next day, Citi Secretary Hull arrived by plane, and Fatty Qiu held a grand welcoming ceremony at the airport. It seemed that the two countries were as close as ever.
After the two had a relaxing lunch at a very nice restaurant, the two went to Fatty Qiu's office.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
The Secretary of State is a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a pair of glasses and a gray coat. He looks more like an artist.
"About our country's participation in the Pacific battlefield. I think Mr. Hull should also know that since the fall of our country, the world has collapsed.
¡°The only pure land in the world now is America, and our country has also established an exile organization in Maple Country. Thanks to the help of your organization, our country¡¯s recovery situation is pretty good now.
¡°But it seems that our country is still unable to join the Pacific battlefield. Although we still have a little navy, it is already the last strength of our country.
If they are lost on the Pacific battlefield, I think the safety of millions of our citizens will not be guaranteed! "
Fatty Qiu looked at Heer with a sincere face and said, his expression was extremely real, as if Fatty Qiu was playing the emotional card.
But Hull didn¡¯t think so, a glimmer of light and understanding flashed in his eyes.
¡°Of course I know, and I also know that your country¡¯s exile in Maple Country is a misfortune in its own world. Mr. Governor of our country also feels very unfortunate about this.
"However, your country and ours are brotherly countries with the same origin. I wonder if there is anything else our great Citigroup can do to help your country?" "
Hull looked at Fatty Qiu with a smile on his face. He knew that Fatty Qiu wanted profit.
If Fatty Qiu really wanted to refuse, he would not have let him come. The reason for letting him come was also very simple, which was to talk about Geely's interests in joining the Pacific battlefield.
Hearing what Hull said, Fatty Qiu showed a smile on his face. He looked at Hull and said, "Mr. Hull is really out of touch. Originally, it was our duty to join the Pacific battlefield.
It¡¯s just that our country is in dire straits right now, so I won¡¯t refuse. At present, our country's navy and army still have some strength. Although they are not very strong, they are at least still there. But our country's air force is now completely blank.
So I hope your country can help our country train army aviation pilots and support some of our country's fighter planes. I hope it can be the P-51 Mustang fighter and the P-47 Thunder fighter. "
"Can!"
September 15, 1943, Attu Island.
Fang Ming, the commander of the Sixth Marine Division, was standing on the newly restored airport on Attu Island, looking at the busy soldiers and engineering vehicles.
Now the airport is being expanded. According to their plan, Attu Island will be used as the largest forward base. About 1,500 fighter planes will be parked here, and multiple airports will be built on almost the entire island.
And Agatu Island, which is more than 40 kilometers east of Attu Island, will serve as a springboard to attack the Rat Islands.
"Commander Fang, how prepared is your Sixth Marine Division now?"
Chen Yongqin's figure appeared behind Fang Ming, and he looked at the busy soldiers with him and asked.
"Hello, Commander Chen!"
Seeing Chen Yongqin, Fang Ming immediately saluted. In name, Chen Yongqin is his boss.
"Yeah! No need to be polite!"
Chen Yongqin smiled and waved his hands indifferently.
"Our Sixth Division has been prepared for a long time now. As long as the Army Aviation is in place and can cover our landing, we will have no problem. But the only problem now is that the troops are a little weak.
"Once the strength of a division of our Marine Corps is too large, I'm afraid we will be unable to do anything. "
Fang Ming turned to look at Chen Yongqin and said, wasn't it the first time he airborne a division? The consumption on Attu Island was too great, and in the end they had to return home to replenish their troops.
"Hey! There is no way around this. The terrain of this chain of islands is not large. Too many troops will cause crowding, and it will be useless.
The Navy Ministry intends to send two more Marine Divisions over, but now the South Pacific battlefield is also in urgent need of troops, and the Marine Corps cannot send them out for the time being.
The Army can mobilize troops, but the Army is not good at this kind of land, sea and air landing warfare, so you have to come with the Marine Corps!
You just have to make do with it! The Marine Corps is still forming a new division. It is estimated that in a while, the Navy Department will transfer the new division to fight with you. "
It¡¯s not that China doesn¡¯t have other troops, but the Marine Corps is best at this kind of landing battle. The Army is not very good at this kind of battle. If they are transferred here rashly, they may cause excessive casualties.
Fang Ming shook his head and said nothing more.
On September 18, 1943, it was seven o'clock in the morning in the North Pacific. It was still dark and the temperature was not high. It was already starting to get cold here. It seemed that after a while, no more operations would be possible here. .
Today¡¯s Attu Island can be said to be very busy. Marines are boarding the ship one after another, and the BF109 fighters at the airport are also making final preparations before taking off.
Atu Island is very close to the Rat Islands, only more than 200 kilometers away, so this time they will once again serve as the main force to attack the Citi Army.
"Commander Fang, in order to prevent Citigroup from discovering our actions, our fleet will operate separately from you today. I will send four heavy cruisers, five light cruisers and some destroyers to escort you.
In addition, the Army Airlines will be ready to take off fighter planes to support you at any time. You will go through the Bering Sea, from within the Bering Sea to the northern part of the Lat Islands. I estimate that you will arrive at the northern part of the Lat Islands around three o'clock tomorrow morning.
By then, we will appear in the western area of ??the Rat Islands to escort you and cover your launch of a landing battle. If there is any accident, send me a message immediately and I will send carrier-based aircraft to support you. "
Chen Yongqin looked at Fang Ming with a serious face and said, today is the day they set out, and tomorrow is the day they attack.
Because the island chain reached during the overtime survey is too close to the northern part of the earth, once the summer is over, the temperature drops quickly. Now there is not much time left for them to fight.
By late October, the temperature will drop to a relatively cold state, and in mid-November, snow will fall. So they only have one or two months, and they must seize the time to fight.
"Crack~"
Fang Ming saluted and said, "Commander Chen, please rest assured, I will definitely pay attention to these!"
"Well! Let's go!"
Attu Island Tower, Army Aviation North Pacific Regional Headquarters
Now Wu Yong has transferred the headquarters of Army Aviation to Attu Island. In the next period of time, Attu Island will serve as the headquarters of Army Aviation.
"Commander, the Marine Corps and the North Sea Fleet have already set off."
A staff officer walked up behind Wu Yong and whispered softly. Wu Yong was now standing in front of the huge glass window in front of the tower, looking at the busy ground staff at the airport.
"Have you already set off? It seems we should take action. Order each group to take off immediately and fly to the Rat Islands to divert the attention of Citigroup and prevent them from discovering our fleet.
¡°In addition, tell the pilots that as many U.S. Air Forces as possible can be eliminated at this time. If we can eat hundreds more Citi Force fighter planes today, our operations will be much smoother tomorrow! "
There is a glimmer of hope in Wu Yong's eyes. As a senior executive in Army Airlines, he also hopes that Army Airlines can go further. At the same time, he also hopes that the military rank on his shoulders can be higher.
¡°If he can destroy more US Air Forces in this North Pacific battlefield, I believe he will soon be able to hold the rank of general.
