Chapter 1455 Navy Expedition

Considering various issues, Roosevelt had always been indecisive in his attitude towards Nissi. He could not kill them. After all, they were also American citizens, and they could not be let go. Maybe there were intelligence officers from the island nation among them. Therefore, Roosevelt is also a headache.

These Nissi are also eager to show their innocence. Although they are Japanese, they have already joined the United States and become American citizens. They have nothing to do with the island country, and the best way to prove their innocence is, of course, It's time to show your loyalty on the battlefield!

So they no longer look forward to going to the battlefield all the time, looking for the island army desperately!

Roosevelt laughed at their request, and was most worried about their loyalty. If he went to war with the islanders, what would he do if he became the inner circle of the islanders?

But now, there is a better way.

The Soviets can't stand it anymore. The Soviets lack everything. Don't these Nissi want to show their loyalty? Just send these Nissi to the Soviet Union and let them defend Moscow?

When he thought of this, Roosevelt actually smiled. He hadn't shown such a smile for a long time. He admired his ingenuity and solved two problems at once.

"Build the Nissi into an army and send them to the Soviet Union." Roosevelt lit a cigarette again and said, "If they want to show their loyalty, go to the Soviet Union to show their loyalty and kill the Germans!"

A word from Roosevelt decided the fate of the Nissi. By this time, Nimitz had already begun to prepare for his fight.

Pearl Harbor.

Signs of bombing can be seen all around. On the flat ground in the distance, there is a bomb standing there, and it has never been taken away. At the port, various operations are still going on in an orderly manner.

Back then, the island nation only carried out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, which was already the limit of the island nation's navy. If the island nation had captured this place in one fell swoop, the outcome would have been completely different.

On one side of the port is the ship repair yard, which serves as the base of the US Pacific Fleet and has the ability to overhaul ships.

At this point, on the slipway, the Saratoga was undergoing final repairs.

It was a miracle that the Saratoga didn't sink immediately when it was in the Coral Sea with the Yorktown, and was besieged by the island nation's carrier-based aircraft. Later, after struggling back to Hawaii, he got on the slipway and never got off again. .

Her flight deck has been resurfaced and new steel bracing has been installed inside. It's about as much work as rebuilding an aircraft carrier, and now, on the surface at least, it's back to its former glory.

Now, Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, standing on one side of the slipway, shouted loudly, "Quick, get the finishing touches on, and launch the carrier."

Hearing his words, the staff of the ship repair yard were surprised: "No, all kinds of work have not been completed, at least two days before they can be launched."

"There's not that much time left, we must launch immediately and prepare to re-enter the naval task force!"

"This violates naval regulations." The person in charge of the ship repair yard also rushed over: "After the repair is completed, a series of sea trials will be carried out. Only when there are no problems will we sign the list and be ready for service. "

"Navy regulations have been changed," said Rear Admiral Fletcher. "Now, it's ready for launch."

The navy needs to be dispatched immediately and cannot wait any longer. There are still some details of this aircraft carrier that have not been repaired. It can be repaired by the crew during the voyage. As long as the deck is intact, the power is normal, and the ship can be dispatched, it can be commissioned.

They are out of time.

In order to mobilize the aircraft carrier, Admiral Nimitz simply revised the naval regulations directly, and the procedures are now normal.

Looking at the regulations displayed, the person in charge of the ship repair yard no longer objected: "Immediately wrap up and prepare to launch!"

Generally speaking, whether a warship is newly built or repaired, there must be a ceremony when it is launched, but now, everything is simplified. Major General Fletcher found a bottle of champagne and smashed it on the bow, and then the aircraft carrier Re-launched.

Those little problems, let's solve them while sailing!

The Navy was being hastily moved, the unrepaired Saratoga, the newly commissioned Wasp and Hornet.

Among them, the Wasp is a small aircraft carrier.

This aircraft carrier is the only one of the Wasp-class. Its appearance is a product of the Washington Naval Treaty. If it hadn't been for Roosevelt's rise to power, it would have been aborted.

It was ordered on September 15, 1935, construction began on April 1, 1936 at the Howe River Shipyard in the United States, launched on April 4, 1939, and entered service at the Boston Army Quartermaster Base on April 25, 1940. Visible, one If the aircraft carrier is normally built, it will take about five years.

And this aircraft carrier is only 10,000 tons, and there are many unreasonable aspects in the design, so it did not directly join the fleet at first, and almost became a training aircraft carrier. Now, seeing the great loss of naval strength, Nimitz searched for the family. The aircraft carrier was put to use immediately.

In addition to these three aircraft carriers, Nimitz did not hesitate to take risks and mobilized two escort aircraft carriers. The entire formation consisted of more than 50 warships and more than 400 carrier-based aircraft, plus land-based aircraft. With more than 300 fighters and bombers, Nimitz is full of confidence.

Even if these fleets of their own have suffered heavy losses, they can still recover within a year, but the island country is different. Unless Germany sells it to the island country to attack the aircraft carrier, the weak industry of the island country is simply impossible in a short period of time. Build another fleet.

The entire formation was mighty, wandering in the Pacific Ocean, preparing to go to the Aleutian Islands to ambush the navy of the island nation.

At the same time, in Tokyo Bay, the mighty navy of the island nation began to be dispatched again.

For this operation, the navy of the island nation did not send out all in all, only the four aircraft carriers, Soryu, Hiryu, Akagi and Kaga, and the two aircraft carriers that participated in the Coral Sea Battle were not dispatched. Ke's base is waiting for a new batch of carrier-based aircraft; Shokaku is being repaired at the base.

Four attack aircraft carriers are already invincible in the Pacific Ocean. How many Americans can there be?

So they don't care.

In addition to these four attack aircraft carriers, they also have two escort aircraft carriers, which are absolutely powerful enough to accompany them.

Behind them, followed by the latest twenty tank landing ships.

If the islanders were to build them themselves, it would probably take a year, and they wouldn’t be able to keep up with the operation. Now, Germany has easily handed over the 20 ships to the islanders, and the islanders suddenly felt confident.

They landed on Midway Island, and they didn't even need so many landing ships, so several ships were loaded with supplies. After directly grabbing the beach, supplies were much more convenient than cargo ships.

This time, Pheasant Fifty-six led the fleet to go out in person.
