"If there is a choice, I think the same as you. If there is no war now, the White Eagle Kingdom will only be slowly blocked to death, and there will be no chance to resist." Roosevelt sighed. He knew that MacArthur and him were worried. is the same problem.

Nimitz said: "No matter what, since we have decided to do it, we must do it to the end without hesitation. This time, let our navy take the lead."

"That's the only way to go, but you must be careful. Although we have more warships than the enemy, their performance may not be the same." Admiral Marshall said.

Nimitz nodded: "Thanks to the fact that our country has fully entered the wartime state after the war started, and at the same time built a large number of ships for the navy, otherwise we would not have such strong strength. I think as long as the war is fought well in the early stage , it is difficult for the opponent to turn around, after all, it takes time to transform a peaceful economic system into a wartime system, and we will not give the other party this time."

"I hope so." Secretary of State Hull frowned all the time, he didn't know whether Roosevelt's decision was right or wrong.As a diplomatic person, he is the White Eagle native who has the deepest contact with Hualan Nation. He has a deep understanding of the horror of the other party, even better than Roosevelt and MacArthur.What kind of power that country can explode in the war, he feels that he has no way of judging. The White Eagle Country is really in danger this time.

The army of the entire White Eagle Country has been mobilized, and the country's economy has already been transferred to a high-speed wartime economic system, and it has been accelerated a step at this time.The country's system is overloaded, and if things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to the country's overall collapse, but the White Eagle government did not hesitate at all.

The navy and air force, which were originally expanded on a large scale, have undergone a new military expansion. Shipyards and aircraft manufacturers are working hard to build new equipment.Such expansion can be interpreted as reinforcements for the Saar Empire and strengthening the counterattack against the Teutonic Kingdom. However, in this wave of military expansion, the army of the White Eagle Kingdom has undergone the most drastic changes.

Because the White Eagle Country is located in the New World, it is separated from the Western and Eastern Continents by vast oceans, and in the New World, the White Eagle Country is the only one, and there is not even a decent opponent.Such an environment caused the White Eagle Kingdom to have very little demand for the army. Therefore, except in World War I and when the army was expanded to one million during the Civil War, the number of the White Eagle Army has always been very small.By 1939, the White Eagle Army had only 2 people.

It wasn't until Roosevelt decided to support the war of the Allied Powers that the White Eagle State hastily established an army of 10 people and sent it to the battlefield in order to prevent the Teutonic State from landing on the Saar Empire, but the domestic army was still very scarce.

This time Roosevelt seemed to have made up his mind to fight another world-class war, and the army of the White Eagle Kingdom rapidly expanded as a result.The original army of more than 2 people has been rapidly expanded to 200 million people, and there is a tendency to continue to increase.

With such an unrestrained increase in the number of the army, relying on the strong manufacturing capabilities of the White Eagle Nation, there is no need to worry about lack of weapons and equipment, but the serious shortage of officers caused by it is difficult to alleviate.General MacArthur, as Army commander-in-chief, had to order the recall of retired officers to re-enlist as higher-ranking commanders.

The lack of experienced officers is also something that can't be helped.Officers cannot be trained in one day, nor can they accumulate enough experience in a short period of time. Fortunately, there are some retired Civil War officers among them, but their experience is limited to the Civil War.

If possible, MacArthur hopes that they can enter some low-intensity battlefields, slowly gain experience and then face the main opponent.It's a pity that time waits for no one. The White Eagle Country has no time to wait for these officers and soldiers to grow up again. The only thing they can do is to send more people to the battlefield and let them learn wars in the war. As for the learning process, they will die The number of people is beyond the control of the government.

Both Zhao Shouhong and Xie Mingjue were extremely vigilant about the sudden large-scale expansion of the White Eagle Kingdom's army.As the new president, Xie Mingjue directly proposed in the parliament to be vigilant against the military expansion of the White Eagle Nation, and that the Hualan Nation should also start a military expansion plan, and asked to start transferring the country's economy to a wartime system.

It's a pity that many people in the Congress don't have such awareness. They are used to Zhao Shouhong's exhaustive life, and their vigilance against war is already very low.Many members of Congress believe that the White Eagle Country and the Hualan Country have a lot of trade and are very important sources of foreign exchange. At the same time, in many major diplomatic events, the two countries have stood on the united front and should be friends rather than enemies.It's a pity that these people don't know that there is no long-term friendship between countries. They follow the law of the jungle and put interests first.

Some people even judged that the reason why the White Eagle Kingdom expanded its army was to use troops against the Western Continent and land on the territory of the Gaul Kingdom to fight against the Teutonic Kingdom.These congressmen have been confused by the huge profits of the country's foreign trade, and naively think that Hualan Kingdom can make money on both sides without going to war with any country.

Zhao Shouhong looked on coldly at the naive remarks of the congressmen. He knew that as long as he spoke out, these people would immediately change their positions and support him.But Zhao Shouhong didn't want these people to continue to be like puppets, obeying all his instructions.

He is a human being, and as a human being, he makes mistakes and grows old and dies.He doesn't want himself to become an indispensable pillar of the whole country, and no one will blame and correct him even if he makes a mistake. What he needs is a healthy national system, a system that can develop in a healthy cycle. For this reason, these people must be independent , so that they can use their own judgment to correctly judge the direction of the country.

Growth requires a price. Zhao Shouhong believes that this incident can be used as a tuition fee, and urges the congressmen to really grow up.What's more, Zhao Shouhong has been in business for many years, allowing the Hualan Kingdom to occupy the most advantageous location. Even if there is no nationwide mobilization, Zhao Shouhong is confident in blocking the offensive of the White Eagle Kingdom. At most, it will be more difficult in the early stages of the war.Once enough time is bought for the country, Hualan Kingdom can still switch to a wartime system.

Zhao Shouhong had another idea in his mind, trying to numb Roosevelt so that he dared to do something.Today's Hualan Nation is not inferior to White Eagle Nation in terms of national strength, and has surpassed it in various technologies, especially military technology and military quality, which are much higher.

The first thousand and 330 chapters are loose on the outside and tight on the inside

Now, while the White Eagle Kingdom is helping the Saar Empire, it has also obtained the advanced science and technology of the Saar Empire, and is slowly digesting and absorbing it.This is a process, but it won't take too long, and it can be completed in at most three to five years.If we fight against the White Eagle Country at that time, the situation will be much more serious.

The reason why Zhao Shouhong took the Teutonic country together to launch a fatal blow to the Red Alliance country was to force the White Eagle country to take action before it was fully prepared.The seemingly defenseless state of Hualan can strengthen Roosevelt's confidence. Only in this way can Hualan occupy the moral high ground and crush the opponent in the later stages of the war.

Based on these two reasons, Zhao Shouhong, who originally had a great say in the Congress, did not say a word. It was not until the Congress voted down Xie Mingjue's proposal that he turned around and left without saying a word.Xie Mingjue was very confused about what Zhao Shouhong did.Zhao Shouhong personally explained to him the judgment of White Eagle Kingdom's movements, but now Zhao Shouhong did not express his opinion.

Xie Mingjue is very clear that Zhao Shouhong has great influence in Hualan Country, as long as he speaks, he can control the voting trend of the Congress, but he just left.Zhao Shouhong didn't meet with Xie Mingjue again. After leaving the meeting, he flew to Guanghai City by plane. Before leaving, he left a sentence for Xie Mingjue, "Lose outside and tighten inside, wait and see how it changes."

Of course Zhao Shouhong will not sit still, and he has never been a passive person.While Congress vetoed demands for military expansion and a wartime economic regime, changes within the military did not require Congressional approval.After the war with the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong obtained the command of the national army in the name of the National Strategic Security Advisor.

Now the war between the two countries is still not over. Although there is not much movement, the Congress has not taken back this right because they are too relieved of Zhao Shouhong.The power that Zhao Shouhong now holds is enough for him to do many things.

First of all, Zhao Shouhong ordered the troops stationed in South Africa and Egypt to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the White Eagle Kingdom and the Allies from attacking from behind.In addition, in the name of military exercises, Zhao Shouhong asked all military factories to increase the production of weapons and ammunition, and transported a large amount of ammunition to the so-called exercise ground on Southern Cross Island. In fact, a large part of these ammunition had arrived in Su Jiye's new continent In the hands of the dispatched army.

The navy was fully mobilized, and all submarines were sent out in the name of daily patrols to actually control the situation within 24 nautical miles of Hualando's coastline.The naval fleet also attacked in batches, waiting on the sea surface to prevent being overwhelmed by the enemy.In the name of ocean-going training, each seaplane regiment takes turns to guard the offshore areas. The secret radar units deployed in coastal areas and various overseas military bases are also turned on in rotation to guard the nearby sky and sea [-] hours a day.

Without anyone noticing, the Hualan Army was actually in a state of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and when the army began to mobilize, the intelligence organization was not idle. As the director of the Hualan State Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Kegong, At this time, he secretly sneaked into the Canadian governorate of the Saar Empire in the New World, and received a group of people who were ready to take action.

In an unremarkable mountain villa on the outskirts of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, Li Kegong met some short yellow people.This mountain home is located on the Canada-White Eagle border, next to Lake Superior, off the beaten track.Because it is in the border area, the relationship between Canada and the White Eagle Country is very good, so there are not many security forces in the border area, and the defense is very lax.It was with this favorable condition that Li Kegong chose this place to meet these important people.

Standing in front of Li Kegong were more than 25 Japanese people. They were all young, with an average of about [-] years old.A few years ago, they began to be placed in the White Eagle Country in batches, living here as Japanese immigrants, and became a de facto member of the White Eagle Country. They were not all the people who were placed, but only the leaders , These people control nearly [-] Japanese intelligence agents all over the White Eagle Country.

Looking at the resolute faces of the Japanese people in front of him, Li Kegong felt very satisfied. The hidden piles arranged a few years ago have finally come into play.For these Japanese people, Li Kegong was not worried at all that they would betray.These people are the generation that grew up after the Wa Kingdom proclaimed their vassals. They were abducted and sold to the Hualan Kingdom by Liu Mazi and Liu Wencai since they were young. They were brainwashed and educated in the secret base, and became people who were truly loyal to the Hualan Kingdom.

They are different from those Japanese mercenaries who took the emperor as their allegiance. Those people grew up in the Japanese country and were indoctrinated to be loyal to the emperor since childhood.The reason why Hualan Kingdom was able to control them was because they could control the Emperor. As long as they used the name of the Emperor, they could command mercenaries to fight to the death.

And these Japanese intelligence agents trained by Hualan Kingdom are completely loyal to Hualan Kingdom. If Li Kegong ordered them to assassinate the emperor, these people would do it without hesitation. This made Li Kegong admire Zhao Shouhong very much. A means of squeezing the potential of the Japanese people.

Under the management of Liu Wencai and Liu Mazi, a large number of young and middle-aged Japanese have been sent to the battlefield in the past ten years to fight for the Hualan people.Large numbers of young women were trafficked across the country or in slave states, to be used as concubines, or to work in the world's oldest profession.And many selected children were sent to intelligence agencies to become the young people in front of them.

It can be said that the sacrifices made by the Wa Kingdom in the past ten years have paid for the crimes they committed against the Hualan people, but Zhao Shouhong doesn't seem to let them go at all.Today, the population of Japanese people has dropped from 7000 million to more than 5000 million, and there is still a downward trend, but the recruitment of Japanese mercenaries is becoming more and more frequent, and the supply of personnel required by the Intelligence Bureau has never been cut off.

For example, these young people in front of them have to carry out the most dangerous tasks.Li Kegong might have thought about it if these tasks were done by Hualan intelligence agents. After all, the loss of a large number of manpower is emotionally difficult for him to accept.But let the Japanese people do these tasks of sending death, so there is no such psychological burden.

After the task was assigned, these Japanese people were dismissed. Seeing the Japanese people gradually disappearing in the dense forest, Wu Can, who is the head of the White Eagle Country of the Military Intelligence Bureau, asked: "Director, such a task is tantamount to suicide. It's been a few months of delay."

"That's enough. You have to deliver the necessary weapons and ammunition in time." Li Kegong said with a smile.

330 Chapter Four Sneak Attack Fleet

"Punctual delivery is absolutely guaranteed, but I propose to you again that it is unwise to waste the lives of these intelligence officers," Wu Shen said.

"Those who are not of our race must have a different heart. You have to understand that they are Japanese people, and they are destined to become the cornerstone of Hualan's glory. Besides, I don't have much hope for them. Apart from buying time for the country, the biggest benefit is to provoke The confrontation between ethnic minorities and whites in Baiying is of great benefit to us." Li Kegong said with a smile: "The principal is right. As an immigrant country, the tragedy is that there is no main ethnic group. This will become the largest in Baiying. fatal injury."

Roosevelt didn't know that Zhao Shouhong was also not idle when he was expanding his military strength and preparing for a full-scale war.But even if Roosevelt knew, he would not change his original intention of launching the war, because he had no way out.

In order to paralyze Hualan, at the beginning of the Doyle plan, the White Eagle Kingdom suddenly wanted to send an additional 30 troops to the Saar Empire, and at the same time sent a large number of landing ships and destroyers. It is a mobile fleet with three New Messina-class aircraft carriers, three New Messina-class battleships and two Tennessee-class battleships as the main force.

The Eighth Air Force, which has been participating in the war in the Saar Empire, was not to be outdone. They followed the example of the Hualan Volunteer Air Force in the Red Federation and launched a strategic bombing of the Teutonic country with heavy bombers.Their goal was very simple, to reduce the war potential of the Teutonic states and destroy their industrial base.For this reason, the White Eagle Country dispatched 17 B[-]G bombers to carry out air strikes in the form of daytime bombing.

Although daytime air strikes are easy to be intercepted, they have better bombing accuracy, and they are also used to collect information for night bombing.Because the B17G bomber adopts the method of the Hualan Guohong 5 bomber, eleven 12.7mm Browning machine guns are covered all over the aircraft, so that they can not lose the wind in the confrontation with fighter jets, so they can complete the day. bombing mission.

The bombing at night was dominated by the Saar Air Force. They used a large number of Mosquito bombers, Wellington bombers, and Lancaster four-engine heavy bombers. The B24 medium bombers of the White Eagle Eighth Air Force would also accompany them.Night bombing is the highlight. On the basis of daytime reconnaissance, they will selectively carry out large-scale concentrated bombing, and strive to destroy those industrial facilities that are very important to the Teutonic state.

The actions of the White Eagle Kingdom seem to be to fight against the Teutonic Kingdom and land on the Western Continent for a decisive battle. This makes the Hualan Congress believe in the original judgment, but they do not know that a huge aircraft carrier fleet has already Set sail from Hawaii and head towards Hualan Kingdom.

As the commander of the Eastern Ocean Mobile Fleet of the White Eagle Country, Admiral Halsey has the nickname of a bull. This not only praises his courage to attack, but also shows his bullish temper that he will never turn back once he finds the target.Now the bull commander is standing on the bridge of the flagship Saratoga, listening to the report given to him by the navigation staff.

"Where have we been?" Halsey asked looking at the deep water in the distance.

Lieutenant General Hewitt, the chief of staff on the side, said: "We are still [-] nautical miles away from Guam, and we can get supplies there."

Halsey looked at the sea and thought for a moment: "If our supplies go directly to the destination, is it enough?"

"This..." Lieutenant General Hewitt replied in a daze: "According to the amount of supplies we have in Hawaii, it is enough for us to reach the target and return to Guam, but it is more risky." His meaning is very clear, direct flight to the target area to fight After returning to Guam, the fuel is not rich. Once something goes wrong, it is easy to cause a catastrophe.

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is enough." Halsey replied as if he didn't hear the worry in the other party's tone: "There are more than 7000 civilians stationed in Guam, and there are many spies from the Hualan Kingdom among them. If our purpose is exposed, the surprise attack will be considered a failure, so we must take this risk."

Hewitt also knew that what Halsey said was the truth, so he nodded in acquiescence.However, he was still a little uneasy, and kept praying in his heart, hoping that God would bless the fleet to return safely. After all, in their hands was half of the main fleet of the White Eagle Kingdom in the Eastern Ocean.

Twelve neatly arranged Essex-class aircraft carriers, as well as larger South Dakota-class battleships and four Colorado-class battleships.Adding seven old-fashioned battleships, five cruisers and 43 destroyers serving as escorts, this is the entire fleet led by Halsey.Behind the fleet, there are more than 40 [-]-ton oil tankers and ammunition supply ships specially built for military purposes. These are the logistical support for their raids of thousands of miles.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, these fleets were dispersed in various ports in advance, and then sailed out to meet in the open sea under various excuses.They did not enter any port, and only relied on the supplies of oil tankers to travel thousands of nautical miles to arrive here.Originally, the military thought that it was very close to the target, and the enemy would not be able to react when they realized it, so the fleet could resupply in Guam before setting sail to launch an attack.But Halsey was very careful, and in the end he would rather take the risk than enter the port for supplies, which allowed him to avoid the leakage of information.

Looking at the dark clouds gradually thickening in the distance, Halsey asked again: "The attack will be launched at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the declaration of war will be sent to the presidential palace of Hualan State [-] minutes before the attack. There is nothing wrong with this situation."

"That's right, the embassy will use the pretext of a national emergency notification to meet with its president at 07:30 local time in Beihuacheng." Hewitt replied: "The other side's government always goes to work at [-]:[-] in the morning, so You can only go to the presidential palace to see him."
