Chapter 1084 Australia
Cyric didn't pay much attention to the Italians' murderous behavior. After all, he wasn't Mussolini's father, so he couldn't help the party leader to show off. Next time he came with snot and tears. When looking for Germany to cry, see if he still has the anger he has now.
What kind of strength you are, don't you really know?
Back then, when Germany was just beginning to develop, it had to rely on the power of Italy, but now, Italy is no longer in Cyric's eyes. On the wall, there is no need to waste time on him.
Germany has very important things to do, and now the most important thing is left, make all kinds of preparations, and fight the Soviet Union! As the 40 years draw to a close, the 41st year is approaching, and the day to fight the Soviet Union is approaching day by day.
On the other side of the earth, a sea and air battle quietly kicked off.
Island State, Wu Naval Shipyard.
A tall warship was camouflaged in a shed built on the slipway, and various security measures were taken. Until now, this warship of the island country is still secret.
The proudest battleship of the island nation, the Yamato battleship with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons!
Compared with history, the construction of this warship is faster. So far, the outfitting work has been completed, and it is ready to enter the stage of sea trials.
At this time, in a room that had just been painted on the Yamato, senior naval officials were having a meeting, and the one who presided over the meeting was the smug Pheasant Fifty-Six.
This huge battleship will be the flagship of the island nation, and the Pheasant Fifty-Six, who had always advocated the attack of carrier-based aircraft, was not in favor of spending huge sums of money to build such a battleship.
But when it was built, he was quite satisfied. When he sat here, he seemed to feel the power of this battleship.
"This year, our mission has been completed, but we must see that we still have many shortcomings. The last time we were attacked by American bombers was our shame. We must completely eliminate this risk and control the Pacific Ocean. "
Fifty-six looked at the people present and continued: "Our next target is Midway Island. As long as we control Midway Island, we can cut off the activities of the American fleet in the Pacific Ocean! Now, let me talk about the specifics. battle plan."
First send a fleet to attack the Aleutian Islands and land on Attu Island and Kiska Island in the archipelago. Use this as a bait to draw the attention of the U.S. fleet to the north, and then send Nagumo Chuichi to command the main fleet to seize the opportunity. Occupy Midway.
After the success of the sneak attack on Hawaii, Fifty-Six gained great personal prestige. Now, the plan he formulated with almost no objections was quickly approved by all members.
"The United States has a strong industrial base and huge potential, but when they want to turn into a war, there needs to be a process, especially now, Americans are still busy with the election, so, while now, we must achieve more The combat objective, before we attack Midway, we have one more mission, which is to take Australia!"
Fifty-six is far-sighted. Although the combined fleets of the island nations have always been victorious, and now they have expanded their strength to Dongna, once the United States reacts, it will definitely counterattack. Fifty-six predicts that, The U.S. would start a massive counter-offensive in two years.
Once the United States counterattacks, then it will find a stronghold. After repeated calculations, it is most likely that the United States will use Australia as a base to conduct a counteroffensive. Therefore, now the island country must take Australia in advance, so that the Americans have no strongholds available!
It is a pity that the army of the island country is now being pinned down, and only the navy of the island country can spare it. They have to fight both Midway Island and Australia. Even so, they will definitely be able to complete the task!
After several hours of meetings, a group of naval officials passed the battle plan for Australia, and the island nation's navy took action again!
Time has entered 41 years in this way. In January of this year, the island nation occupied the Rabaul base in the Bismarck Islands in northeastern Australia, and then occupied Lae and Salamoa in New Guinea.
In this way, the island nation's plan is halfway through. According to the plan, they should immediately implement landings in Tulagi and Port Morbiz in eastern New Guinea.
Although Australia has a vast land, its population is sparse. As long as you control a few ports, you can control Australia.
In addition to preventing the United States from using Australia to attack island countries, more importantly, Australia has a large amount of iron ore, which is the most scarce resource for island countries.
But things changed when they were smug about attacking.
The American aircraft carrier formation is here!
Nimitz made up his mind.
Now, the strength of the U.S. Navy is still quite weak. A sneak attack on Pearl Harbor caused a heavy blow to the U.S. Navy’s fleet in the Pacific Ocean, and both aircraft carriers were destroyed.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the threat of the Germans is just around the corner. Germany is constantly launching new warships, and it seems that it is going to compete with the Americans in the Atlantic Ocean.
In this case, when it was discovered that the islanders wanted to do something to Australia, Nimitz still made up his mind to let the islanders' operation fail!
U.S. Navy, to avenge the last attack on Pearl Harbor!
On the calm sea, the 17th Task Force of the US Navy is sailing on the sea. In the center of the entire formation are the two aircraft carriers of the US Navy, the Saratoga and the Yorktown.
The Yorktown, an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, was commissioned in 38 years. It was originally active in the Atlantic Ocean. After receiving the order, it crossed the Panama Canal and merged with the Saratoga. this new battle.
On the bridge of the aircraft carrier, Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher was looking at the chart in front of him.
A few days ago, when they had just arrived in this sea area, they received a report from the land that the island nation was preparing to land in Tulagi. As a result, he immediately ordered the carrier aircraft to take off and fired the first shot.
It is a pity that his behavior was criticized by Nimitz. The victory was not great, but it exposed the strength of the US Navy. Now, the island countries are mobilizing their aircraft carriers from the Indian Ocean. A new war is about to break out.
The first thing is to find the enemy on the sea, where are the aircraft carrier formations of the islanders hiding?
