Chapter 611 Wanli Iron Pliers 4

Honolulu, Pearl Harbor.

In front of the Fuji restaurant, as soon as Villafu stopped the pickup truck, several clerks came out of the store. After seeing him, they immediately smiled and asked, "Mr. Verafu, what good things did we bring to our boss today?"

"Lobster, the freshest!"

Villafu opened the carriage and exposed two large wooden barrels inside. A lobster in the barrel was lively. Several clerks drooled and hurriedly shouted, "Go and tell the boss, good boy, Mr. Villafu, you are really awesome. Every time you go to sea, you have a big harvest, which makes our business several times better. Many naval troops Officials all say that our goods are the freshest.

"Haha" Hearing the praise, Villafo couldn't help saying proudly, "Of course, when I was in Trieste, I was the best fisherman and had my own fleet. It's a pity." Villaford seemed to think of the glory of the past and sighed, "Now I can't go back."

"That's not necessarily true." In laughter, the restaurant owner came out, looked into the barrel, and said, "Mr. Verafort, I believe you can go back, because His Majesty's fleet is opening up the Indian Ocean channel. Maybe in a few months, you can open the Suez Canal, and you can return to Austria-Hungary."

"Of course, long live Xinhua, long live the alliance!"

After blessing the Allies, Villaford smiled and said, "However, now I have fallen in love with this place. The sea here is too rich, and thank God for giving me the best fishing boat. Maybe I don't want to leave after the war is over."

"That's great. Maybe we can be neighbors in the future."

"It's a neighbor and an ally." After Villaford blinked his eyes and helped the guys remove the barrel, he suddenly found that it was a little lonely. He was surprised and said, "Jiang, it's lunch time. What's wrong?"

"Oh." The boss patted his forehead and said with a smile, "The fleet set out in the middle of the night last night, so it will be a little deserted today."

"Departure in the middle of the night?" Villafu's eyes flashed sharply, and in an instant, he turned into an ordinary fishing boss who came to Hawaii to avoid the war. He spread out his hands and said, "Luckily, I heard that a new marine came a few days ago. They must have never eaten such a good lobster, and they can definitely sell it at a good price."

"The Marine Corps? Oh, do you mean the one that just came from Shanghai? They also left last night.

Villaford's body was slightly shocked. This slight movement made the clerk standing at the door narrow his eyes, but the former didn't pay attention and continued, "It's a pity. It seems that my lobster is going to suffer."

"Hehe, Mr. Verafort, don't worry, it will be the New Year for us Chinese in another three days. There are a lot of people who come to buy it these days, and it will definitely sell at a good price."

"Well, that's great, God. I thought I would lose money this time." Villaford seemed to be relieved and clapped his hands: "Jiang, I'll go first. It's the old rule. You can't pay the bill after three days."

"Mr. Villaford, don't worry, our Fuji Hotel is famous and fair."

In the goodbye of the restaurant owner, Villafu drove away from the port. After a while, a vegetable vendor suddenly walked into the back door of the hotel. After taking the food, the little clerk suddenly lowered his voice: "Villafu already knows. Do you want to do it immediately?"

"No, it says let him spread the news." While moving the vegetables, the vegetable vendor seemed to mutter to himself.

"I will pay the boss to him in three days."

" OK, I'll inform the field team." After a few murmurs, the two pretended to argue about the price of vegetables, and the vegetable vendor pushed the car out of the restaurant, and everything calmed down again--

Yanjing, General Staff.

"General, Honolulu Telegram." The second lieutenant in charge of intelligence contact got up and handed the telegram to Zhang Zuolin. After looking at it twice, the latter was overjoyed and immediately turned around and walked to the conference room.

In the conference room, Jiang Tianxiu held a baton and pointed to the map to make a routine report for the emperor and the Prime Minister. Every three days, the general staff can come to listen to this report. Due to the recent Iron Pliers Operation, one of the East Disturbance Plan, Tang Shaoyi and Rong Kou appeared in the conference room, even Yan Fu. They all appeared, listening carefully while taking notes.

"The Malay Peninsula has now entered the final stage, and the British army is now compressed near Bincheng. Because Campbell is too scared by us to take risks, they can no longer get the support of the Indian Grand Fleet, and the resistance has begun to weaken. We expect that all the battles will end by March."

Jiang Tianxiu pointed to the map to introduce the current situation and said, "Recently, Australia is more tense. Three days ago, the British, American and Australian allied forces were divided into two routes. A total of 150,000 people tried to open up the two railway lines from South Australia to Northwest Australia, which were blocked by four divisions in our Central and South Theater. At present, they have all retreated, but from here it can It can be seen that a large-scale battle may break out in Australia in the short term, which requires our attention.

"Tianxiu, let's talk about the iron clamp plan." Li Mo waved his hand. He was not too worried about Australia. Whether it was Western Australia or Northern Australia, the railway line was life. As long as the railway was cut off, unless the coalition forces stationed in Australia were willing to go through the desert, they could not find a second way. It was with this advantage that the overall strategy of western attack, east disturbance and south defense could be determined.

After all, this is also because the transportation capacity and material capacity are not the most sufficient, not enough to launch a major offensive on two fronts at the same time, so the time of the three-line operation must be staggered.

Hearing Li Mo's words, Jiang Tianxiu immediately turned to the point: "At present, the iron clamp plan has been fully launched. The troops stationed in Kamchatka have secretly occupied the Dutch port yesterday. According to our early investigation, the U.S. military army in Alaska is very rare, with a total of less than 3,000 people. The biggest threat is those gold diggers. Spontaneous armed forces, so we can take full control of Alaska by May at the latest and send a total of 20,000 troops there, seven of which will become the Japanese-North Korean allies.

Due to Alaska's unique geographical location, the winter is long. As long as we have a firm foothold, the United States and Canada need at least 50,000 to 100,000 troops to drive us away. The biggest difficulty for both sides is not the army but follow-up supplies. At present, we have hoarded about 3.7 million tons of materials in Vladivostok and Hokkaido. After controlling Anchorage Harbour, the Second Naval Transport Brigade will undertake the main transportation tasks. In addition, the Third Fleet has sent a patrol fleet for full-time protection, but considering that winter supply is very difficult, there is still a large gap.

"You can rest assured that after sailing, I will organize some civilian ships to help transport, and it will not be a problem to add an additional 5 million tons in a month." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, Chen Ping laughed and said, "Tang Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become much richer."

"Ouch, Yuanshou, don't be cold to me. After a few months of emergency, all factories across the country have basically transformed successfully, and naturally it is much smoother. Now what we lack is not materials but transportation capacity. At present, there are a total of 1881 freighters registered for ocean transportation, due to the occupation of your navy. There are too many docks, and only 110 docks are under construction, which can't keep up with the consumption at all, so you have to tell Long Guozhang to send more forces to protect the fleet. If you lose 37 ships in a month, I really have to worry about him. In addition, I have to tell the submarine troops not to sink easily, at least bring me a few. Come back to make up for it. Tang Xiao spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"Well, this is a big problem. I will pay attention to it." Chen Ping nodded. When he was in the attack, the United States and Britain were also breaking the attack. There were many confrontations between such small warships. What's more, with the gradual opening of the landing on the island, the loss of the freighter was much greater than before, so it was necessary to find a way to protect it well.

After seeing Chen Ping nod, Jiang Tianxiu continued: "Yesterday, the two main shyme of the iron clamp plan have also been completed. A total of 100,000 allied troops, including the third division of the Marine Corps, have entered Panama and have captured Elreal. According to the latest information, the United States suddenly crossed the border for us. It is very shocking. At present, 50,000 U.S. troops stationed on the south bank of the canal are already on their way south, and 50,000 Marines on the north shore are also rushing to the south coast to assist in the defense.

The 12th Fleet also sank a British cruiser 110 nautical miles south of the Gilbert Islands yesterday, sinking a total of four protective cruisers and a seaplane carrier. Because they invested more than 70 fighters in the attack, the British should be able to judge that the 12th Fleet is nearby, and according to Our monitoring of the nearby snow sculpture electronic reconnaissance ship showed that they had sent at least four telegrams before they were sunk.

In order to cooperate with the operation, the swadron also docked in Victoria Bay, Hong Kong yesterday.

In addition, the First Fleet has a total of four Hebei-class battleships, ten Yangtze-class light cruisers, and 16 Weiqing-class destroyers also left Pearl Harbor last night. There are also 45 cargo ships of more than 50,000 officers and soldiers of the Fifth Marine Division, and two Yanjing-class fast battleships of the Second Fleet have also left the Truk base. The 12th Fleet, which has completed the ricky, is maneuvering towards the Cologne Islands.

According to the plan, General Ji's main fleet will immediately head east when it arrives off the coast of Panama, putting on the illusion of a strong attack on the Pearl Islands, tempting the U.S. Pacific Fleet to come out, and then return to cooperate with the 12th Fleet to eat it, and finally return to attack the Cologne Islands and cut off the route from Panama to Australia!

If the plan goes well, then we won't have to worry about the United States in the coming year!"

"Ha ha, if we can kill the U.S. Pacific Fleet this time, I'm afraid that the battleships they sent to Britain will not dare to stay." Tang Shaoyi narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Mo with a smile.

"This is indeed what we have planned for a long time. After the United States pulls back the four capital ships, Britain and Germany will probably have a decisive battle!" Li Mo smiled, but he had long been fascinated. He didn't know how to develop after being changed by himself, but it was impossible to send warships to participate in the Tehran, so it depends on Germany's own efforts.

"Yuanshou, if you can eat the U.S. Pacific Fleet, why don't you land directly in Panama and go back to the Cologne Islands?" Rong Yu frowned.

Chen Ping saw Rong Kui's meaning and immediately said, "Panama is not so easy to fight. It is narrow. Even if we have hit all the US [***] ships on the Pacific side, they can still send battleships to provide artillery support through the Atlantic Ocean. Now they can take Erreal because of the attack. Suddenly, and we can't prevent the United States from transporting troops through Florida, so according to our estimation, we need at least 200,000 troops and at least half a year's time to consume, as well as the full cooperation of the air force.

Besides, the canal itself is the natural best defense line. The army alone can't cross this sky, but the air force relies too much on logistics. In addition, our current main transportation line is the westward attack and the transportation force to Northwest Australia, plus the Alaska supply line, so it is impossible to maintain a high strength. It is a long-distance transportation route, so we must first take back the Cologne Islands, then take it as a foothold, start to reserve supplies little by little, and wait until the main forces can free themselves from the western attack before turning to deal with the United States.

"Iron pliers, iron pliers, it turns out that you are going to clamp the U.S. Pacific Fleet!" Yan Fu read it twice, understood the meaning, and smiled, "Then why don't you learn from Singapore and directly bomb San Diego?"

"After Falls Bay and Singapore, the Ally countries saw the important surname of seaport air defense and began to strengthen their defense in this regard. The number of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns in the port of Mumbai has exceeded 200, and they are increasing at a rate of 100 per month. Even Colombo has begun to strengthen its preparations in this regard. Recently, Britain has also Anti-aircraft guns and machine guns are installed in the Andaman Islands. In addition, the special attack aircraft we have not been fully equipped for aircraft carriers. At present, the land can only be bombed horizontally, and the effect of dealing with ground targets is very low. Moreover, San Diego is the only base on the west coast of the United States that can provide all the necessary maintenance and repair for large capital ships. After a large number of air defense forces have been arranged, according to the intelligence, there are at least more than 230 machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and the rash attack will cause great losses, so we are ready to seduce it.

"So, will the United States be fooled? And can they receive the bait we released in time? Will it follow us?" Just as Tang Shaoyi was about to ask again, Zhang Zuolin suddenly knocked on the door and came in and handed the telegram he had just received to Chen Ping.

After Chen Ping looked at it, he immediately looked happy and handed the information to Li Moxiao and said, "The news from the Honolulu Intelligence Department, the news that the First Fleet and the Marines left in the middle of the night have been sent back to the United States by spies."

"Now, unless the United States really doesn't want Panama, otherwise." Chen Ping said this, and his eyes were cold: "Hmm, the U.S. Pacific Fleet will be removed from the title for at least a year!"
