Chapter 858: Pearl Harbor 3

In the morning, the sky lights up.

Jess, who works as a code translator at Fleet Headquarters, left early, and she wanted to buy something at a grocery store near the port today.

When she walked from home to the port, she was lucky to find the grocery store was open.

Two chubby Japanese kids are playing on the porch staggeringly, their energy is enviable.

"What a happy little guy." Thinking of walking into the store, Jess suddenly heard a burst of gunfire over the port, just like what was heard during the live-fire exercise that began after the year.

Behind the counter, the owner is drinking tea, a small, dark-haired Japanese man in a floral shirt and board shorts, and the shelves are lined with neat merchandise.

"Need something, ma'am...Okay, here we go." Knowing that Jess needed rubbing alcohol for the skin, the shopkeeper smiled and walked into the blue curtain behind.

The gunfire was getting louder and the planes were roaring overhead, and it sounded so strange.

Jess walked towards the door and found a large number of high-flying planes flying towards the port in formation in a burst of black smoke from heavy artillery fire.

Feeling more and more uneasy, Jess ran quickly to the car and took out the binoculars.

At first all she could see was a blue sky and a cloud of black smoke, and she thought, 'This is a beautiful day. '

Then three planes came into view, forming a dazzling silver triangle.

And on the wing of the plane was painted a solid 'plaster flag' circle, which scared her away the binoculars in her hand.

"Madam, there are so many planes! Such a large-scale performance is really rare." The shopkeeper who got the alcohol appeared beside her, and handed her the packaged goods with a grinning grin, his smiling eyes narrowed.

His children stood in front of his back porch, pointing to the sky and yelling in spiky Japanese.

Few in the American Navy liked the Japanese in Hawaii and wondered who among them was a spy.

Jess worked in the headquarters all year round, and what she did was translating codes, so she was naturally infected with this emotion.

Now, right here, the Japanese grinned at her, and over their heads, Japanese planes whizzed by, in Hawaii, in the airspace of the United States.

This shows what?

Ha...that's awesome, these shameless Japanese.

After such a thing happened, Jess's impression of the Japanese became even worse.

So after taking the things from the shopkeeper, she opened the car door and put the things in the back seat, and got into the car without the shopkeeper reacting.

bang bang...

The shopkeeper slapped the glass hard, indicating that she hadn't paid the money yet.

Jess, the first time a sailor greeted someone, responded harshly: "Fuck you Mom."

If Li Zitao had been present, he would have asked her to pass her left arm under her right arm, then put her left arm upright in front of her, and viciously flicked a middle finger.

Depress the accelerator pedal to the bottom, and the car drove away quickly, leaving only the stunned little Japanese shopkeeper and his chattering brat behind.

When Jess arrived at the port, she was stunned by what she saw.

The place where a battleship was still docked in the morning was replaced by a huge orange fireball, and the sound of 'whoosh' kept ringing in the sky.

The big red ball filled with yellow, black and bright smoke filled her ears with a bang and a big explosion, and the air waves fell on her face, which was very hot.

A circular cloud of black smoke and red flames rises into the sky along a faded column of smoke, followed by another explosion, sending out expanses of beautiful orange and purple.

The thick smoke cleared, and the battleship in the fireball finally appeared in sight again, but it was a wrecked ship that was split in two from the middle.

The sailors on the deck waved and shouted frantically, water jets sprayed from other places to the burning hull, but they couldn't suppress the roaring flames.

The bullets from the machine gun poured down like a storm, "Be careful," a figure suddenly threw her to the ground.

blah blah...

The dust kicked up by the bullets sprinkled on her body, and Jess hadn't recovered from the attack,

He was pulled by a force and stood up.

"Find a place to hide, the Japanese are coming." A man in front of her seemed to be yelling at her, pressing her shoulders roughly with both hands and shaking them vigorously.

The whistling of fighter planes, the explosion of the ship and the cries for help from above, the screams of women, and the crying of children were intertwined, making her unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

The people living in Hawaii are still in a state of "peace".

On the radio, the announcer is promoting a brand new soap in a fierce and excited tone, followed by light and cheerful Hawaiian music.

The old man lay in the rocking chair and fell asleep snoring, completely unaware that the war was coming.

...

...

The attack on Pearl Harbor happened more than half a year earlier than 'history', but it just happened.

When the Japanese ambassador arrived in Washington with the late "Declaration of War" and met with the Secretary of State, the other party's behavior was not as gentlemanly as in the movie.

Grabbing the "Declaration" in front of him, the Secretary of State slammed it on the ambassador's face, "Take your people and get out of here, immediately, right now."

The Japanese ambassador left in despair, he was well aware of his embarrassing situation.

If he said any more words to make the other party think it was provocative, any excuse could keep him out of Washington.

War is coming!

Roosevelt finished all the work at hand, and he was silent in the office for a long time, and then asked the secretary to arrange a speech in Congress tomorrow.

Regarding this war, he has too much to say, and his heart is full of entanglement and excitement.

When Roosevelt arrived on Capitol Hill, in front of many members of Congress, he had a thousand words in his heart: "Yesterday, May 11, 1941...A day of infamy that America must remember,

The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the navy and air force of the Japanese Empire. The United States and Japan are living in peace.

Before this long-planned sneak attack, at the request of the Japanese side, it was still holding peace talks with its government and emperor, hoping to jointly maintain peace in the Pacific. "

Looking around, Roosevelt suddenly raised his right fist and put it hard on the table, "Just one hour after the Japanese Air Force had already started bombing the American island of Oahu,

The Japanese ambassador to the United States also submitted to the Secretary of State a formal response to the recent letter from the United States to Japan that we are still working for peace..."

In fact, without Roosevelt's instigation, at least two-thirds of the congressmen on Capitol Hill were in a state of anger, like a brown bear about to run away.

This shameless sneak attack filled them with anger who thought they were peace-loving and worked hard to maintain world peace.

More importantly, they suffered too many losses.

While Hawaii was attacked, Malaya, Hong Kong, Guam, the Philippines, and Wake Island were all attacked by Japanese troops.

And in the early morning of this morning, Midway Island, an important US military base, was also attacked by the Japanese army.

"I ask Congress to declare that since Sunday, May 11, 1941, when Japan launched its unprovoked and cowardly attack, there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan."

When Roosevelt finished his last speech with a strong tone, there was thunderous applause on Capitol Hill.
