In history, the island countries launched the Pacific war only in 41 years, but now, it is very different from history.

Of course, it is the situation in Europe that affects the Asian battlefield. After the whole Europe was occupied by Germany, the United States has felt a great threat. If the United States wants to maintain world peace, it must support Churchill.

With Rommel's constant attack, Churchill kept moving east in the colony, and now he has fled to India. If the United States wants to support Churchill, it must go to the Pacific Ocean.

In this way, the contradiction with the island countries is irreconcilable. The last maritime conflict is a microcosm. At the same time, on the Asian battlefield, the United States also has considerable support for China. For the island countries, they either return from China and shrink in their original territory, 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 the resources such as steel and oil from the United States, so the island countries have only one way to go.

Warfare!

At the same time, Germany's encouragement is also essential. The island countries are short of oil, and Germany can support them. The island countries are short of bombers, and Germany can also provide them. They add firewood next to them, burn the island countries to heat up and shed blood on the United States.

With the continuous improvement of the island country's preparation, the war against the United States finally staged slowly!

The sea conditions in the Pacific and Atlantic are different. Many times, it is more calm here.

Therefore, the design of aircraft carriers is also different. For example, the aircraft carriers of island countries do not use closed hangars, but the lower layer is open, which reduces the weight and can even take off directly from the lower layer when necessary.

The aircraft carrier originally belonged to a battleship and was refitted during construction. The most recent refit was carried out in 38 years. Through this refit, Akagi appeared more modern and in line with the take-off and landing of carrier aircraft.

This huge warship with a displacement of 40000 tons is the pride of the island Navy.

However, from the eyes of the German consultant, the aircraft carrier still has great defects. The bridge on the left is the biggest failure. It is still an ordinary straight deck without inclined deck, and the dispatch efficiency of fighters is not high.

At present, there are only waves less than half a meter high on the sea. For this 40000 ton warship, the navigation is quite smooth.

On the bridge, lieutenant general Nan Yunzhong held a telescope and looked at the sea in the distance. It was really a good weather for sailing!

"Report, received a telegram, no fish."

Holding the telegram, Nan Yunzhong said to the German adviser on the side, "adviser ruder, your proposal is really very good!"

When the German submarine appeared in the Pacific Ocean, the US Navy was really stimulated and kept searching at sea to blow up the German submarine.

After that, there was a misfire incident, which almost ended in nothing, and the enthusiasm of the US Navy cooled down. At the same time, the troubled German submarine seemed to disappear, just trying to lay the blame on the US Navy.

After that, the US 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 small point. The naval fleet of the whole island country is sailing through the wind and waves.

At the same time, how to keep thousands of nautical miles from being discovered by the U.S. Navy has always been a difficult problem. Now, this problem has been solved.

That's fishing boats!

The fishing boat wandered around the naval route in advance, watching the sea while fishing. If it found the U.S. Navy, it would immediately give an alarm.

Now that there is no fish, it means that everything nearby is safe. Fish is the code name of the U.S. Navy. Different fish represent different warships.

"Blessed by the emperor." Ruder smiled and said, "now, we need to let the pilots keep their strength, maintain the plane and wait for the last battle."

As he was saying this, he saw from a distance that a large patrol plane was flying slowly in the sky.

This is definitely a large aircraft, and the lower part of the body is the shape of the bottom of the ship. The wing is the upper single wing. The four engines are deployed on the top. The propeller is higher than the water surface, which can prevent it from being damaged by sea water during takeoff and landing.

This is the unique large seaplane of the island country, West Sichuan 97 type airship( Island countries are called flying boats, not seaplanes.)

The island navy has always regarded the US Navy as its opponent and believes that the two armies must strike first in a decisive battle. Therefore, it is required to dispatch long-range patrol seaplanes to ensure the victory of the Western Pacific.

In 1933, the Japanese Navy handed over the development task to the Western Sichuan company, requiring the seaplane to carry nine crew members and necessary weapons and equipment, cruise at the speed of 222 km / h and a range of 4630 km.

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

With a weight of more than 20 tons, it can fly on the sea for a long time. At the same time, after landing on the sea, it can also rely on submarines or warships to supply it. It is a good helper for long-distance navigation.

From a distance, it slowly lowered its height with a fluent sliding line. When the bottom of the ship came into contact with the sea, it splashed waves, and the pontoons on both sides of the wing beat the sea from time to time.

The speed of the flying boat became slower and slower. Finally, the propeller stopped rotating, and the flying boat continued to slide forward. At this time, it had become a ship.

When the flying boat stopped sliding, an inflatable boat was put down. An officer rowed the boat towards the aircraft carrier.

Soon, he rowed next to the Chicheng. With the help of others, he got on the Chicheng and went straight to the bridge.

"Report, we have detected a special situation during this flight." The officer came up and said hurriedly, "we pretended to be a civil aircraft and photographed the warships in Pearl Harbor. We found that none of the three aircraft carriers were present."

The officer took out the photos he had developed in the dark room of the patrol aircraft during his return.

The internal space of type 97 flying boat is very large, which is also for the pilots to have sufficient physical strength during the long flight. There is also a dark room for developing photos.

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

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

This sudden change immediately stunned Nan Yunzhong.
