Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

In the underground air raid shelter on Oahu, American soldiers lay scattered on the ground, making meaningless groans from time to time. Because there is no fresh water supply, everyone has already become dehydrated.

We all know that water is the basis of life. Various schools of thought recognize that water participates in the physiological functions of the human body. Water is the most abundant component in the human body. Body fluid accounts for about 70% of human body weight and is necessary to maintain normal physiological functions.

If a person cannot replenish water in time, then when about 5% of water is lost, symptoms such as headache, fatigue, forgetfulness and rapid heartbeat will be obvious. This is when the body will use most of the water in the body, including the precious water that was originally "wasted" in sweat, to maintain blood pressure and maintain life. When the body's water shortage exceeds 2% of the body weight, dry mouth and tongue will appear, and urine output will decrease. When it exceeds 6% of the body weight, dizziness, palpitation, and irritability will occur. When it exceeds 7% to 15% of the body weight, moderate symptoms will occur. Toxic shock and loss of consciousness can be life-threatening if you lose more than 20% of your body weight.

"Oh God." Michael, who was pale and in a daze, held the cross around his neck tightly in his hands, praying to God for some rain to quench their thirst. The soldier opposite him was digging the ground with a shovel, as if trying to dig a well. But looking at his feeble appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to find anything after digging like this for a lifetime.

At this time, the sound of a loudspeaker played by the German army on the opposite side was faintly heard outside. "My American brothers across the way, we have cool and delicious drinks here, sweet fresh water; as long as you come over, you can have a good drink."

Hearing "refreshing and delicious drink", Michael subconsciously wanted to swallow his saliva, but there was no saliva in his dry mouth. If there was not a trace of reason left, he might really run to the Germans desperately, but he didn't know how long he could hold on.

After being unable to contact the life-saving supply submarine for a long time, Commander Wilson in the headquarters became a little desperate. He asked his correspondent to contact the Pacific Fleet Command directly to ask if they had any news about the supply submarine.

The staff in the headquarters reported the matter to Commander Nimitz. "Commander, our supply submarine is most likely sunk by the Germans."

"..." Nimitz looked a little grim. “How are things going on Oahu?”

"I heard that even medical glucose liquid has been dispensed. Many soldiers have hallucinations and self-mutilation. I'm afraid they won't be able to last even two days."

Nimitz couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that the remaining four divisions would be able to defeat the German troops who landed on the island, but he did not expect that the German troops would easily successfully land on the island and gain a foothold. So what else could these soldiers hold on to? significance? After hesitating for a while, he finally gave instructions. "Let the defenders on Oahu surrender. It's better than dying of thirst." The German troops who landed on the island only surrounded but did not attack. They clearly wanted to trap their own troops alive, but they could not watch them really Die of thirst. It was unrealistic to re-send supply submarines. Within seven or eight days, their soldiers had already died of thirst.

"yes."

The order was quickly transmitted to Oahu. Commander Wilson was stunned for a moment after receiving the telegram and let out a long sigh.

Soon, a U.S. military representative holding a white flag came to the German position to discuss surrender.

Commander Hellman on the flagship was not angry. "What's there to discuss? They can only surrender unconditionally, and we will treat them in accordance with the Geneva Convention." Do these guys want to put forward some conditions or what?

Although he wanted to thirst these defenders to death, the news from the weather plane said that a typhoon with wind strength of level 13 was moving this way. If the route did not change, it would reach the Hawaiian Islands the day after tomorrow in the evening. In other words, there will be rain in the Hawaiian Islands at the latest tomorrow night. Even if the Americans on the islands have solved the fresh water problem, they can continue to resist. That's why he agreed to accept the American surrender.

Soon, rows of American soldiers who dropped their weapons and helped each other walked out of the air raid shelters and walked toward the German positions, muttering "Water, give me water..."

Just as the German soldiers were about to hand over the kettle, the loudspeaker behind them sounded again. "Don't give them water, it will kill them!" When the body loses water, it also loses body fluid electrolyte ions, potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, etc. The most important one is potassium ion. The concentration of potassium ion in the body is 5-5mmol/L. If a large amount of water is added when dehydration is severe, the concentration of potassium ions in the body will be low, causing muscle twitching and paralysis. The most serious complication is cardiac arrest. Or even sudden death.

"Get in line and get into the transport ship!"

In order to surrender alive, they naturally did not want to die immediately after surrender. The American soldiers could only grit their teeth and stagger towards the German temporary dock and walk into the transport ship. Emergency measures such as saline and glucose solutions have been prepared for them.

It was not until evening that the Germans took in all the American prisoners.

German soldiers then garrisoned American defense lines and underground facilities while the fleet prepared to leave. After all, typhoons are not something to be trifled with, even steel behemoths like them should be kept at a distance.

The U.S. Navy suffered losses from typhoons during World War II in the original time and space. At that time, in December 1944, the U.S. Third Fleet, led by Vice Admiral Halsey, nicknamed "The Bull", assembled near Mindoro Island in the central Philippines. , preparing to launch an attack on Luzon Island in the Philippines occupied by the Japanese army. The fleet uses the USS New Jersey as its flagship and consists of battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers and other ships.

On December 16, the "Manniu" fleet approached the oil supply fleet for refueling. At this time, a typhoon named "Halsey" hit them. The wind was strong and the waves were high, making it difficult to refuel. However, Halsey and other commanders of the fleet were eager to fight and ordered the fleet to advance northward to Luzon Island. Due to inaccurate judgment of the typhoon's location and path, this decision not only failed to get the fleet away from the typhoon, but instead brought it closer to the typhoon. A few hours later, a typhoon arrived, with storms and huge waves hitting the fleet. The typhoon with wind power of level 14 and gusts of level 17 rolled up huge waves tens of meters high and rushed towards the fleet. The formation of the fleet was completely disrupted and the warships shook violently in the violent waves. The typhoon raged here for two days before leaving. This nightmare typhoon caused heavy damage to the "Manniu" fleet: 3 destroyers were sunk, 2 aircraft carriers were seriously damaged, and 146 carrier-based aircraft were thrown into the sea. Nearly 800 people died or went missing. In the end, Halsey had to give up the attack on Luzon Island and led the scarred fleet to retreat to rest. The then U.S. Navy Commander Nimitz said: "This is a huge loss suffered by the U.S. Navy in the Pacific without any compensatory results." As the fleet commander, Halsey has an unshirkable responsibility for this, but due to Halsey's military exploits were outstanding and the U.S. military was worthy of employing people. Halsey was not later held accountable.

With the raising of the German flag on Oahu, the first island chain of the German army's defense against the United States in the Pacific has taken shape.
