Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3014 Truman's nightmare
The performance of the raid fleet did not end here. When other US ships began to work hard to rescue the two battleships Alabama and Arkansas, the scattered Chinese torpedo boats began their best attack and harassment warfare.Not only that, but as the water planes sent by the Guam defenders came to the battlefield with torpedoes, the demoralized Americans suddenly became clumsy.As two more destroyers were sunk and a heavy cruiser was severely damaged, the Americans completely lost their fighting spirit, and Jin could only order the fleet to move to the sea area where Li Mei's aircraft carrier formation was located, and at the same time call Li Mei Ask him to send a warship to pick him up.

On the beach, the U.S. Marine Corps that landed at this time still had about one regiment of troops.King was kind enough to call them before deciding to evacuate, allowing them to surrender to the defenders.Therefore, when the ground troops of the defenders who had not shown up cautiously appeared on the battlefield, what they saw was a group of dejected American soldiers sitting on the beach with no fighting spirit.

When more than a thousand American soldiers were escorted into the depths of Guam by the defenders with live ammunition, Luo Chunjian and Fu Xiaoyu looked at each other with smiles on their faces.Luo Chunjian said: "Now you can send a victory telegram! Hehe, with these more than 1000 prisoners in hand, it is impossible for the Americans to launch a strong attack again!"

The good news was first passed to the Pacific Fleet Headquarters, and then reported to the Supreme Command through Chen Ce.

When Ouyang Yun received the report, he yelled lamentably, "Great, the overall situation is settled!"

Ouyang Yun and the others were in a meeting at this time, and when the others heard the news at the same time, everyone was overjoyed.He Yingqin walked to the map and said, "Guam is safe, and the US and Japanese navies have lost a resting place. Now for them, retreating to the Philippines is not only the only choice but also the last choice. It seems that the second The war in the Pacific will soon have its final outcome."

Everyone here can understand this point.If the Americans can take Guam, they can still use Guam as a base for short-term rest. If they can't take Guam, the longer the delay is, the worse it will be for them when they can't go to Papua.Therefore, the US-Japan joint fleet will definitely break through to the Philippines as quickly as possible.

Deng Xihou: "I really can't see that brother Jiansheng is not only good at land warfare, but also sea warfare. After the supreme commander, we have another comprehensive commander."

Ouyang Yun: "Although the results of the Guam victory are not comparable to the two naval battles last night, Luo Chunjian and Huang Tianxun must be commended for their ability to defeat the strong with the weak! Sink the battleship Alabama, damage the battleship Arkansas, and sink other types of ships More than ten ships! Hehe, this time, another one-third of the US Pacific Fleet is gone! Bosses, do you know what I want to see most now?"

"What?" Someone immediately asked jokingly.

"The faces of Truman and Toshiichiro Koizumi! I think they must be so angry that their noses are crooked!"

"Haha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Thousands of miles away, Koizumi Toshiichiro's nose is not crooked.Although the U.S. Pacific Fleet suffered another heavy loss, although it would affect the breakout of the Japanese combined fleet, it was the Americans who suffered the loss after all.Moreover, because he already had a bottom line in his heart, he felt that keeping the industrial base on the Malay Peninsula would be a victory, so apart from scolding twice that "gold is mud that cannot support the wall", he did not express anything out of the ordinary.

Thousands of miles away, compared to Toshiichiro Koizumi, who was still calm, Truman not only had a crooked nose, but also wanted to vomit blood.As far as Truman is concerned, finding out who is right now is actually an afterthought, and it is useless to hear the sound.However, because the U.S. Pacific Fleet not only carries America’s new Pacific ambitions, but also concerns its political future, it is closely related to the “secret treaty between the U.S. and Japan.”Therefore, even though he knew there were multiple reasons for this, he still held his nose and made a decision immediately, immediately revoking Jin's position as commander of the Pacific Fleet, and appointing Li Mei to take over as interim.After deciding that King would be the scapegoat for the defeat, he immediately convened a joint chiefs of staff meeting to try to mend the situation.

"The Pacific Fleet has already been rebuilt for the third time. Is it necessary to rebuild it for the fourth time? Not to mention whether the national finance has this ability, it just has this ability, but if we really do this, what kind of public opinion will it cause? ?! So no matter what, we must find a way to allow the Pacific Fleet to withdraw safely—generals, you are experts in the military, and I hope you can give good advice! America, we cannot afford to lose the Pacific Fleet again It hurts!"

The political form of the United States determines that the Truman administration cannot block news and deceive the people on major matters related to the survival of the Pacific Fleet. However, because the US-Japan alliance has a "secret agreement" in front of it, it is definitely not a high-level route. The "talk handle" was left behind.Therefore, when the Pacific Fleet was defeated again, making the US-Japan alliance look like a wrong decision, it naturally became the most convenient weapon for the US opposition party to attack the ruling party.

The United States abandoned China as an ally and turned to an alliance with Japan. After all, only a small number of Americans benefited (they obtained real benefits by embezzling the assets of Chinese nationals and companies). When the US-Japan alliance seems to be able to bring a brighter future to the United States At that time, after the advocacy of the Truman administration, the American people could still accept it and felt that it was a good choice.However, when the rebuilt Pacific Fleet not only failed to help the United States regain control of the Pacific Ocean, but lost troops and threatened to be overthrown, the topic of whether the US-Japan alliance is correct or not immediately regained room for survival.At this time, the American opposition party came out to fan the flames again. It is conceivable what kind of pressure this caused the Truman administration.Now, the Pacific Fleet is only losing troops, and the domestic public opinion is already boiling like a hot pot. Truman can't imagine what kind of bad consequences it will bring to his political career once the entire army is destroyed-you know, he This president was not elected by the people, but inherited from Roosevelt.And as we all know, Roosevelt fully advocated goodwill with China when he was on stage.In other words, on the China issue, he, Roosevelt's heir, had actually betrayed Roosevelt's political views.Well, if the entire Pacific Fleet is destroyed this time, someone with a heart will definitely link it with his change of pace on the China issue, thinking that it was all because of his wrong decision that led to this result.And if he wants to take this responsibility, even if there is no opposition party to force the palace, can he pass the hurdle of public opinion within the party?

It was a matter of personal honor and disgrace, and Truman had to use great efforts to deal with this matter.However, even if he is a military layman, he also knows that the difficulty of rescuing the Pacific Fleet is as difficult as heaven.
