Five Hundred and Twenty Eight Reminders

"The Japanese fleet is missing!" A young man from the U.S. intelligence department was reporting his work income to his immediate boss: "They left the port a few days ago, and then we lost the position monitoring of this fleet. "

At this time, the relationship between Japan and the United States is not harmonious. Japanese troops are close to the US-controlled areas such as the Philippines, and the two countries have very huge disputes over oil supply issues. The United States sanctioned Japan, imposed a comprehensive oil and steel embargo on Japan, and tried to suppress Japan's expansion in the Far East.

However, it is clear that such sanctions have not had a good effect. The Japanese fleet has been conducting frequent exercises recently. They seem to be more willing to understand this kind of sanctions as a signal of war. Attribution issue. They are more willing to fight the United States once to see who can eat the other side in one bite and achieve eternal dominance.

Japan is a country that has a restless and violent heart buried in its bones. A closed country on a narrow island has been surrounded by anxiety and inferiority since its birth. They bowed their knees in front of the Han Dynasty, which is far away and must be punished, and bowed their knees in front of the tyrannical and huge Tang Dynasty. They were still vassals until the Ming Dynasty or even the Qing Dynasty. After being wronged, can you feel the overwhelming resentment in a country's heart for a thousand years?

Therefore, after Japan once became a human being, it couldn't wait to draw its sword against its former benefactor and teacher China. They really didn't want to surrender to other people's side and make a historical background. These Japanese people from the small island were full of joy and reveled in the victory of Japan and Russia in the Sino-Japanese War. They felt that the world was nothing more than this, and that they could be the masters of the world.

"I lost my position, how many days has it been?" The intelligence officer was taken aback for a moment, then asked for confirmation, then grabbed the phone in front of him and contacted his immediate superior.

"Yes! They are gone... There are six aircraft carriers, battleships and cruisers... a huge fleet... We have no way to determine where their targets are...Yes." Apparently the US intelligence on the other side of the phone The director of the bureau was a little annoyed, and his roar could be heard from a long distance through the phone receiver.

Just a few hours ago, the military attache of the German embassy in the United States rushed to the office of a pro-German general in the United States and informed the United States of the news of the dispatch of the Japanese navy, but the news is still being confirmed. Among them, several US generals felt that there was no need to impose martial law on more than a dozen US bases in the Pacific just because of the reminders of "hostile countries".

Soon US President Roosevelt got the news that Germany would not hesitate to betray Japan's strategic intentions and also prevent the United States from participating in the war-there is at least an 80% possibility that this information is true. Roosevelt suddenly felt that happiness came quickly, and he felt dizzy.

According to the information provided by Germany, and some evidence from China, the huge naval power of the Japanese Combined Fleet has disappeared in the Pacific Ocean,

Their specific locations have not been found so far, but all the information has proved that Japan is organizing an attack of unprecedented scale.

The U.S. intelligence agency, which had obtained permission, began to monitor the Japanese embassy in the United States, and found the news they needed. The Japanese embassy has received approval from Japan and is ready to submit credentials to declare war on the United States. Such things as declaring war will never lie. The U.S. government is absolutely sure that Japan will go to war with the U.S. within a few hours.

"It's definitely not Pearl Harbor. The water depth there is not suitable for air-dropped torpedo attacks." An American general swore to the surrounding officers: "We have deployed new radars and densely packed air defense positions there. The Japanese go there. It's suicidal."

On the other hand, a senator who lives on the West Coast knows nothing about naval modernization warfare: "Will these Japanese attack Los Angeles? If they appear there, will it cause panic?"

"Sir, the possibility of the Japanese navy attacking Los Angeles is very slim. If they enter the East Pacific region, they will be surrounded and annihilated by our fleet." An American general beside him assured the congressman.

While the Americans were still repeatedly confirming where the target of the Japanese attack was, with an order to attack, the planes on the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet began to take off one after another. They formed an echelon over the Japanese fleet, flying neatly towards their target like a row of wild geese.

"Anyway, we can't let the aircraft carrier stay in the port! If we lose the aircraft carrier, we will suffer the same failure as the British in the Atlantic!" Finally, an American navy general reached a consensus with the others and issued a special special order. Vague operational order: "Order all US aircraft carrier fleets to set sail! Leave their respective ports!"

"But general, today is the weekend, and the aircraft carrier fleet cannot be ready to fight and leave its own port within an hour!" His deputy said helplessly.

At this time, an intelligence official ran to the American general who was discussing the battle with his hands full of sweat, and handed the document to the white-haired American naval general: "General! Fifteen minutes ago combat report!"

"Battle report? Who will you fight with?" The general took the report, opened it, and carefully read the contents.

It turned out that half an hour ago, an American coal ship spotted a suspicious target near the mouth of Pearl Harbor. The captain used a telescope to spot a sneaky submarine periscope. The captain who was born in the U.S. Navy immediately reported the findings to the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor, and the destroyer on duty rushed to the nearby waters and began anti-submarine operations.

If a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will clog the teeth. This sentence could not be more appropriate to describe this Japanese submarine that detects the movements of the US Navy. The US destroyer that was ordered to come just returned to Pearl Harbor a few days ago. It was originally ordered to perform anti-submarine missions in the Atlantic Ocean.

An American destroyer trained by a German submarine under Dönitz's command, dealing with a Japanese navy submarine with little actual combat experience-do you suddenly feel a little bit of a little bit of abusing the trumpet? After a simple battle, the American destroyer easily sank the Japanese submarine and reported its brilliant record.

"My God! Pearl Harbor! They are going to attack Pearl Harbor!" After reading the report, the American general broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly issued a combat order: "Cancel the vacation of the soldiers at Pearl Harbor! Combat position! Martial Law Pearl Harbor! Immediately! Immediately!"

A few minutes later, the telegraph room at Pearl Harbor received various inexplicable orders, which made the officer in the telegraph room on duty a little confused. A telegram ordered the aircraft carrier fleet to sail away immediately and prepare for battle. Another telegram that came in immediately ordered Pearl Harbor to sound the battle alarm, and all soldiers returned to their combat positions.

"Today is Sunday, are these big shots sleepy?" The soldier sitting in the telegraph room raised his head and asked his officer.

Shrugging his shoulders, the U.S. military officer on duty said helplessly: "Maybe they want to conduct a drill, but it's a bit immoral to conduct a drill at this time."

He reluctantly put the telegram in his folder, then walked to the stairs at the end of the corridor to the combat readiness headquarters on the second floor. But as soon as he walked to the door, he saw the soldiers in the reception room passing in front of him in a panic.

"Hey! Tom! What's the rush?" the officer on duty in the telegraph room asked.

"The radar shows a large number of planes approaching Pearl Harbor!" The soldier named Tom replied as he walked forward. The radar equipment at Pearl Harbor was jointly developed by the United States and the United Kingdom. The technology generally came from the British technical department, and the American technical department improved the design. Now this kind of radar technology is more reliable, but the detection distance is still not comparable to the German military radar, and high-altitude targets...

The farthest distance is only a pitiful kilometer. Of course, these radars have lower detection capabilities at low altitudes, because they are blocked by the mountains of Pearl Harbor, and there are even blind spots in some places, but the emergence of radars has indeed improved the defense of Pearl Harbor in the United States.

"Could it be our transition plane? The B17 bomber of 6th Airlines often makes transitions, which is a common thing. Why are you making such a fuss?" The officer on duty continued to ask while catching up with Tom.

"We've verified that there is no military aircraft that is transferred today!" Tom said hurriedly.

"..." After being stunned for about two seconds, the officer on duty finally came to his senses. He hurried forward, and while running, looked out of the corner of his eye at the copy that made him sound the combat alarm. electricity.

"General! A telegram from the continental United States!" The officer on duty rushed into the office of his immediate superior without even knocking on the door. And behind him, Tom also came in and shouted: "There is an unknown plane approaching Pearl Harbor!"

"Military exercise?" The American general who was sitting at his desk and reading the report on the fuel reserves in Pearl Harbor raised his head and looked at his two subordinates: "When you come in next time, remember to knock on the door, please? Gentlemen? "

"General! This is not a drill!" The two men hurriedly said together with frightened faces.

The officer on duty pressed the telegram directly on the boss's desk: "The telegram from the local headquarters, let us immediately sound the combat alarm, order the soldiers to return to their respective posts immediately, and make all combat preparations!"
