#959 Aircraft Carrier Is Not Present (Plus 2)

Historically, the island country only launched the Pacific War in 41 years, but now, there has been a big departure from history.

What affects the Asian battlefield, of course, is the situation in the European battlefield. When the whole of Europe was occupied by Germany, the United States has already felt a huge threat. If the United States wants to maintain world peace, it must support Churchill.

As Rommel continued to attack, Churchill was on the colony, constantly heading east, and now he had fled to India, and the United States had to go to the Pacific to support Churchill.

In this case, the conflict with the island country is irreconcilable. The last maritime conflict is a microcosm. At the same time, on the Asian battlefield, the United States has also given considerable support to China. For the island country, either retreat from China, Shrink on the original site, or go to war with the United States.

When the United States freezes the funds of the island countries and refuses to continue trade with the island countries, the island countries cannot obtain resources such as steel and oil from the United States, so the island countries have only one way to go.

war!

At the same time, Germany's encouragement is also essential. The island country lacks oil, and Germany can support it. The island country lacks bombers, and Germany can also provide it. Just add firewood next to it, burn the island country with heat, and pour blood on the United States.

With the continuous improvement of the island nation's preparations, the war against the United States finally unfolded slowly!

The sea conditions in the Pacific and Atlantic are different, and many times, it is calmer here.

Therefore, the design of the aircraft carrier is also different. For example, the aircraft carrier of the island country does not use a closed hangar, but the lower layer is open, which reduces the weight, and can even take off directly from the lower layer when needed.

This aircraft carrier originally belonged to a battleship. It was refitted during construction. The most recent refit was carried out in 1938. Through this refit, the Akagi became more modern, which is in line with the starting point of carrier-based aircraft. drop.

This huge warship with a displacement of 40,000 tons is the pride of the island nation's navy.

However, from the point of view of the German consultant, this aircraft carrier still has a lot of flaws. The bridge on the left is the biggest failure. It is still an ordinary straight-through deck and does not use an angled deck. not tall.

Now, there are only waves less than half a meter high on the sea, and the sailing is quite smooth for this 40,000-ton warship.

On the bridge, Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi held a telescope and looked at the sea in the distance. This was really a good weather for sailing!

"Report, telegram received, no fish caught."

Holding the telegram, the German advisor Nagumo Zhong always beside said: "Consultant Rudel, your proposal is really good!"

When German submarines appeared in the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Navy was really stimulated and continued to search the sea to blow up German submarines.

After that, there was a misfire incident, which was almost nothing in the end, and the enthusiasm of the U.S. Navy also cooled. At the same time, the troubled German submarine seemed to disappear, just trying to take the blame to the U.S. Navy.

After that, the U.S. Navy did not search much, and their cargo ships were no longer threatened.

On the vast ocean, no matter how huge the fleet is, it is only a tiny bit. The entire island nation's naval fleet is sailing through the wind and waves.

At the same time, how to maintain the voyage of thousands of nautical miles without being discovered by the US Navy has always been a problem, and now this problem has been solved.

That is to use fishing boats!

The fishing boats wandered around the naval route in advance, while fishing, while observing the sea surface, if they found the US Navy, they would immediately issue an alarm.

Now that there is no fish, it means that everything in the vicinity is safe. The fish is the code name of the US Navy. Different fish represent different warships.

"The emperor's blessing." Rudel said with a smile: "Now, we need to let the pilots save their physical strength, maintain the plane, and wait for the final battle."

Just as he was talking, he saw a large patrol plane slowly flying over in the sky.

This is definitely a large aircraft, and the lower part of the fuselage is the shape of the bottom of the boat. The wings are upper monoplanes, and the four engines are deployed on the top. Bad.

This is the large seaplane unique to the island country, the Western Sichuan Type 97 flying boat. (The island nation is called a flying boat, not a seaplane.)

The navy of the island nation has always been an opponent of the U.S. navy, believing that the two armies must be preemptive in a decisive battle, so they are required to dispatch long-range patrol seaplanes to ensure victory in the Western Pacific.

In 1933, the Japanese Navy handed over the development task to the Sichuan West Company, requiring the seaplane to carry nine crew members and the necessary weapons and equipment, cruise at a speed of 222 km/h, and have a range of 4,630 km.

In January 1938, this aircraft was adopted by the navy and named as the 97 large boat.

It has a weight of more than 20 tons and can fly at sea for a long time. At the same time, after landing on the sea, it can be supplied by submarines or warships. It is a good helper for long-distance voyages.

Seeing that it was far away, it slowly lowered its height with a fluent glide line. When the bottom of the boat touched the sea surface, the waves splashed, and the buoys on both sides of the wing slapped the sea water from time to time.

The speed of the airship was getting slower and slower, and finally, the propeller stopped turning, and the airship continued to slide forward, sliding, at this time, it had become a ship.

When the airship stopped sliding, an inflatable boat was put down on it, and an officer rowed the boat towards the aircraft carrier.

Soon, he rowed to the side of the Akagi, and with the help of others, he boarded the Akagi and went straight to the bridge.

"Report, this flight, we detected a special situation." The officer came up and said hurriedly: "We pretended to be a civil airliner and photographed the situation of the warships in Pearl Harbor. We found that the three aircraft carriers were not present."

The officer took out the photos he had washed in the dark room of the patrol plane during the return process.

The interior space of the 97-type airship is very large, which is also for the flight crew to have sufficient physical strength during the long flight. There is also a dark room, which is specially used for photographing.

Recently, the defense of the Pearl Harbor base has suddenly become tight, and it is not easy for the spies of the island country to penetrate into the island, and the photos taken this time are even more useful.

The biggest target of this attack on Pearl Harbor was the three US aircraft carriers, but now, these three aircraft carriers are not there!

This sudden change made Nan Yunzhong stunned.
