Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1622 Dangerous, hidden in peace!

At this moment, the U.S. Supreme Wartime Command was in chaos. Neither President Roosevelt nor General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had thought that the Second Army, which had placed high hopes on it, would have the four most capable combatants.

The division troops had just landed on the battlefield on Hawaii Island and suffered such heavy losses. It is simply unimaginable. It was a huge blow to the hearts of the American people and the morale of the troops.

Within the high command, there was already a motion to impeach Lieutenant General Harrison. Those who advocated severe punishment should be sent to a military court. Those who were more moderate also advocated his removal from office. However, President Roosevelt stood up to all the objections.

On the grounds that it was not appropriate to change generals during the battle, Lieutenant General Harrison, who was unaware of the situation, kept his current position. Otherwise, he would have followed the Pacific Fleet and returned home to be tried as a defeated general.

In the Eastern Pacific battlefield, the United States has successively lost important islands such as Midway Island, Northern Mariana Islands, and Johnston Island. The Japanese have built a chain from the Japanese mainland to separate the southwest Pacific islands from the mainland of the United States.

Blockade, if the Hawaiian Islands are lost, the Japanese will gain a bridgehead to attack the American mainland, and the war will burn on the American mainland without hesitation.

President Roosevelt, who had a statesman's eye, knew this clearly, and General Jeff Field, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and chief of staff of the United States' highest wartime headquarters, who was well aware of the aggressive nature of the Japanese, knew this even more. Perhaps

, In the short term, the Japanese are busy with the war in the Southwest Pacific and will not attack the United States mainland. However, once the war in the Southwest Pacific is over, either the Japanese will win or the Americans will keep Luzon Island.

The Japanese, who are unwilling to be left alone, will definitely stare at the east coast of the United States with their red and greedy eyes. At that time, the United States will be forced to carry out homeland defense operations. Can the fragile psychology of the American people who have not experienced the baptism of World War I be able to survive?

Neither President Roosevelt nor Admiral Jefferfield dared to bet on whether it could withstand the fierce Japanese attack.

The only way to avoid bringing the war to the mainland is to protect the Hawaiian Islands, the gateway to the east coast. After receiving the emergency telegram from Lieutenant General Harrison, Admiral Jefferfield, as the Chief of Staff of the Supreme Wartime Command,

·A call-up order was issued, and a third group army was newly formed among the domestic reserve forces. However, the overall combat effectiveness of this third group army was even worse than that of the second group army.

The Second Army has two standing divisions and two Marine divisions as its backbone. But the Third Army has nothing. It is said that they are reserve troops, but the situation of domestic reserve troops is General Jefferfield.

, knowing full well that the flames of World War I did not burn the American mainland. On the contrary, the United States made huge war windfalls. As a result, the American people also had a weak awareness of homeland defense.

Mainstream folk thinking has always been that the American continent is protected by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is a paradise away from war. The reverence for the profession of soldiers is far less attractive than the envy of wealthy businessmen. Standing troops cannot guarantee sufficient

There are so many soldiers, let alone a reserve force in name only, but there is no way, the war in the Hawaiian Islands can only be extinguished with the lives of American Americans!

The newly formed Third Army was obviously prepared to pull up the Second Army when the Japanese were exhausted on the Hawaiian Islands battlefield. It was not until this time that President Roosevelt qualified as General Jefferfield.

Realizing how difficult it is for the United States to fight on two fronts, the country's most elite troops are all on the European battlefield.

Not to mention that distant water cannot quench the near thirst, if we are transferred to the Asia-Pacific battlefield, what will happen to the European battlefield? What will the British do? There are no American troops in the European battlefield, and there is no continuous blood transfusion from the United States. Under the fierce attack of the German army

, I am afraid that the British will not be able to sustain it for even a month. Neither the European nor the Pacific strategic directions can be given up. They are both the fundamental interests of the United States!

Therefore, the U.S. military is already stretched thin in terms of the use of its troops. Otherwise, it would not have used the rookies among the rookies, the reserve forces, to form the Third Army. The focus of the Eastern Pacific battlefield is the Hawaiian Islands battlefield. President Roosevelt and

Admiral Jefferfield has become ruthless and willing to sacrifice human lives. As long as he can keep the Hawaiian Islands from falling into the hands of the Japanese, he will not hesitate to use all his national power!

At the same time as the Third Army was being formed, General Jefferfield, in accordance with President Roosevelt's instructions and at the request of Lieutenant General Harrison, ordered the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 5th Infantrymen of the Second Army assembled in Los Angeles.

Sixty-four divisions were urgently equipped with newly developed "Sherman" heavy tanks, 165mm caliber self-propelled artillery and other heavy equipment.

At the same time, the four infantry divisions of the Second Group Army were ordered to be on standby day and night. Once the Pacific Fleet returned to the mainland, they could board the ship and sail to the battlefield on Hawaii Island. Admiral Jefferfield did not know the principle of speed, and it was not that he could not stop the enemy.

It was obvious to Lieutenant General Harrison's current difficult situation, but he sadly found that the army could no longer provide a decent fleet to escort the troop transport.

In the vast sea, with hundreds of troop transport ships and no fleet escort of sufficient strength, the Japanese only need to dispatch a few hundred bombers to easily defeat the second wave of the Second Army's troops, more than 60,000 soldiers, sent to the battlefield.

Buried on the bottom of the boundless Pacific Ocean, therefore, there was no choice but to order the Pacific Fleet to rush back and forth.

For this crucial troop transport mission, Admiral Jefferfield flew from Washington to Los Angeles and personally directed the troops to board the ship. After three days of eagerly looking forward to it, on the evening of June 30, the Pacific Fleet was in trouble.

Rushing to Los Angeles, as soon as they got off the warship, the commander, Vice Admiral Fullwood, immediately saw Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Supreme Wartime Command, standing on the pier, being surrounded by his entourage.

General.

Lieutenant General Fullwood hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, Chief of Staff, Commander Fullwood of the Pacific Fleet has led the fleet here under orders. Please give instructions to your Excellency, Chief of Staff!"

Seeing Lieutenant General Fulwood, General Jefferfield was very happy and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General. Let's talk about the situation on the Hawaiian Island battlefield alone for a while." Then, he turned around and ordered the staff around him, "Follow the prepared plan."

, the troops begin to board the ship and immediately supply the fleet. After the troops have boarded the ship, immediately!"

Lieutenant General Fulwood furrowed his brows without revealing any trace, and secretly cursed in his heart, "You must be too anxious. After three days and three nights of bumping on the sea, as soon as you landed, you didn't even take a deep breath, and you seemed to be desperate.

Can the sailors bear it if we rush back?"

Admiral Jefferfield was a man who had become a spirit. Lieutenant General Fullwood was able to hide his narrow-mindedness from him. He looked very apologetic and said: "General Fullwood, the battle on the front line is urgent, so we have to

Thank you for your hard work, come on, let’s talk about the situation on the Hawaiian Island battlefield right here!”

Two senior American generals were talking about the situation on the Hawaiian Island battlefield on the dock. On both sides, there was an endless stream of soldiers boarding the ship in silence. Lieutenant General Fullwood finished his report. Jeff

Admiral Phil nodded and said nothing more. The situation was basically consistent with what Lieutenant General Harrison reported. It seemed that he was right to come to Los Angeles to supervise the war!

Lieutenant General Fullwood refused to let go of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He asked: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, does the Supreme Command have a clear answer to my request to supplement the fleet's carrier-based aircraft?"

Admiral Jefferfield laughed loudly and said: "General Fullwood, regarding your request, the Supreme Command has made it a top priority. When you return to the warship, you will see that there are many of them.

It’s already being hoisted onto the aircraft carrier!”

It took a whole night for more than 60,000 U.S. soldiers to board the ship one after another. At around seven o'clock in the morning on July 1st, they left the Los Angeles Military Port and sailed towards the vast Pacific Ocean. In the middle of the fleet were hundreds of transport ships.

Warship.

Standing on the deck of the flagship "McKinn", Lieutenant General Fullwood looked very melancholy. His wife and two children had agreed to come to the dock to see him off, but he did not leave all night.

At the dock, my wife and children are on their way to the Los Angeles Military Port. They have been transferred from the Atlantic Battlefield to the Pacific Battlefield. I don’t have time to go home even once.

In total, I haven’t seen my family for seven or eight months. I imagined my wife and two children, with tears in their eyes, standing on the empty pier, looking at the vast sea, feeling so lonely and helpless, Fulwood

The vice-admiral let out a long sigh, but soon he no longer had the energy to miss his family. The tedious affairs of the fleet took up all his time.

Lieutenant General Fullwood is very satisfied with the newly added carrier-based aircraft, both in terms of quantity and quality. He is proud of the strong national power of the United States. The only drawback is that the randomly added pilots have never been in the military.

If you are a novice on the battlefield, if you judge correctly, you should be from the Air Force Reserve. Can such a pilot have combat effectiveness when facing Japanese aircraft?

Vice Admiral Fulwood was full of worries about this. However, the Pacific Fleet was finally fully staffed. As long as the novices experienced several air battles and saw blood, they would grow into qualified carrier-based aircraft pilots. Fu

Lieutenant General Erwood is full of hope. Let’s train with Japanese aircraft on the Hawaiian Islands! Before that, it’s better not to encounter the Japanese naval fleet!

Two days later, the Pacific Fleet sailed into the waters that were still a day and a night away from the Hawaiian Islands. On the deep seabed, a dozen submarines of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet were hanging behind the Pacific Fleet like ghosts.
