When the Japanese cabinet urgently convened to discuss the conditions of the US armistice, the Joint Conference's defense discussion on Hawaii Island was entering the deep waters, and Ingram, who came from the front line, gave a comprehensive introduction:

... Through air transport organized by Chennard, all the wounded people in the Pearl Harbor attack have arrived on the West Coast for treatment, and some homeless people have made proper arrangements. The long-lasting fire finally stopped after it was injected into the Pacific Ocean. However, the social order of Pearl Harbor was far from being restored to the attack, and the overall environment and social management were in a mess.

Military control and curfews were implemented throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The troops were nervous and rushed to hoard various materials and repair relevant defense systems, but in Ingram's view, it was far from enough.

Currently, air transport is maintained inside and outside Pearl Harbor. He believes that once the Japanese fleet is freed, it will take a big question mark to maintain this transportation line. The Japanese army can intercept air transport between Hawaii and the West Coast by deploying an air fleet. The bulky and weak transport aircraft troops cannot be the opponent of carrier-based aircraft. With the distance between Hawaii and the West Coast, they do not have the ability to send escort aircraft. Chennard tested night flights, not to mention that there are not many crews capable of performing night flights, and it is also unknown whether night flights can avoid Japanese interception.

Dulite, who carried out night bombing, believes that according to the current situation, it is certain to organize a few aircraft for night shipping. If there are too many, it is not enough, but the small batch transportation is not very meaningful now because Pearl Harbor needs bulk materials. Not to mention a few aircraft smuggling, there is no way to organize a strategic air transport of thousands of aircraft, and it is necessary to transport it by sea.

Taking nearly a thousand strategic airlifts in the past few days as an example, it seems to be quite popular, but in fact, Pearl Harbor has obtained extremely limited things. At best, only more than 2,000 tons of aviation fuel were obtained, and 120 new P-51p-47f4u fighters and related pilots were added, and the B-29 heavy bombers were added by less than 20. It’s not that the mainland aviation does not want to increase, and the more it increases, the more fuel it consumes. The 5 fighters required for a B-29 cannot withstand it.

After this trouble, there are only 443 aircraft that can still fight in Hawaii (not distinguishing between Land and HNA, but not including transport aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, water reconnaissance, etc.). There are more than 800 pilots. Although most of them are poor in their level, they look quite powerful. Especially the group of HNA trained carrier-based pilots lost all the aircraft carriers and have now completely turned into land-based pilots...

Ingram believes that there are difficulties in self-defense at this level, let alone counterattack, and requires that the aviation force and related fuel, accessories, and the overall aviation force should be expanded to at least 5 times the current level.

But to expand, you must send a material fleet. Even if there are 8 or 9 escort aircraft carriers on the west coast, and even if Los Angeles has prepared a material fleet, the Pacific Fleet, which is now fully exhausted, has completely become a squat fleet at home. How dare you go out to sea?

Li Hai said that the Navy has urgently transformed 14 small shark submarines. Each submarine can transport about 400 tons of fuel or 10 fighter jets (including engines) in a single time, but this is far from meeting the requirements of Hawaii. Moreover, the submarine transport is too slow, and a single transport will take more than 10 days. However, it is okay to send it once with multiple measures. Ingram agreed to this "submarine express" based on the principle that no matter how small the flies are, it is still meat. He only asked them to be careful, and the enemy might block the waterway.

So after discussion, the Battle of Hawaii became an unsolvable vicious circle: to defend Hawaii, you must have enough aviation power; without oil and crew, it would be useless to have planes alone; but the fleet is not there, so it is impossible to transport materials on a large scale... The problem is stuck on the conveying line.

So Turner had to explain the plans for the "Los Angeles Express", "San Francisco Express", "multi-road fleet operations" and "single-ship smuggling" that he had sold to Spruins. However, Turner is a little confident now that he has not seen the Japanese army's fierce night bombing capabilities, the plans originally designed immediately became very risky.

After a long discussion, everyone had no idea and finally reached 3 opinions:

First, continue to maintain until the air freight is accurately intercepted;

Second, try to transport a small number of submarine troops first. If the effect is good, then transform it in large quantities;

Third, if the previous two methods are not successful, it is obvious that testing the express method and the multi-ship method will sacrifice a great deal of transportation.

Originally, Clark wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the Army's defense issues, but suddenly realized that there was no need to talk about it. Now even the resources required by the Army Airlines cannot be guaranteed, and there is no question of supporting the Army's ground forces. He finally swallowed it back and planned to take a step by step and wait for feedback on the truce to Japan.

Ingram's estimate this time was very accurate. Hori Teiki, who led the entire army back, was making full arrangements to block the entire Hawaii, and the top priority was the breaking marriage between Hawaii and the West Coast.

After the convergence of various fleets, Hori Teiki's car and the flagship of the Joint Fleet became Yamato again, and a military meeting was held on it. Before the meeting, Kakuda Kiyoshi was staged a scene of apologizing for guilt. Kakuda believed that he had implicated the entire Second Airlines battle in the oil shortage incident, which also made Hori Teiki very troublesome and made the hero Yano take huge risks. He felt very sad and made public reviews at the meeting.

What he said was that he was crying and regretted the past and bowed repeatedly.

However, Hori Teiki didn't take this matter to heart, kept silent, just asked about the bombing of Seattle and Boeing. When he heard that the crew did not move forward in a straight line, he attacked from Canada, so he nodded, praising the attack "very colorful and brain-like". Finally, when talking about the lack of oil, Yun Tae-fresh said lightly, "Not to be an example" and exposed it. Hori Teiki didn't mention it, and of course others wouldn't mention it either, but Nishimura Shoji was a little surprised and asked Kusato Ryunosuke who was sitting next to him: "That's it? The sir is too cheap!"

Kusato Ryunosuke held back his smile: "Ni Miura, knowing shame is almost brave. He will not be so reckless next time. This is also a good thing. Have you forgotten the evaluation before the superior went to war, "Kakuda is good, but he is a little impatient"? It means that he foresawed at that time. Maybe in the superior's mind, the trick he made this time was completely expected, and it was not surprising..."

Nishimura Xiangzhi nodded repeatedly, and he also remembered the words, thinking: The commander probably has seen it a long time ago! He is really much smarter than us...

What moved Kakuda Mitsuji was that Hori Teiki did not verbally say that he was not concerned about it, but sent him important tasks again: he let the Second Air War, which had sufficient fuel, leave the Chitose to Kakuda alone, and also handed over the Chitose to Kakuda. Considering that the Tenchon was injured, although it did not affect its use, there was always some problem, so Kakuba and Tenchon were exchanged.

In this way, the aircraft carriers owned by Kakuda will be restored to three units and are all fleet aircraft carriers. With the Musashi, King Kong and several heavy cruisers in Nishimura, you can continue to make waves happily and fulfill your responsibilities of a comprehensive blockade. This makes Kakuda grateful and more effective than any incentive.

In addition to the Second Aircraft War, the I-Air battle in Tsukahara's hands was fully equipped, fast and strong, and was ready to set off at the Midway Island direction as Hori Teki's request after the meeting. Given that there were no battleships in the Fifth Aircraft War, the Nagato to the Fifth Aircraft War.

The five-air battle, which suffered a lot, will go to Midway Island to complete the supplement before taking over the cover mission. In addition to Tiancheng and Kashima, the five-air battle also includes the Shanying, the Bismarck Sea, the newly seized escort aircraft carrier (the Japanese do not even intend to change the name) and the four escort aircraft carriers, which are the most massive fleets.

Hori Teiki then announced the combat requirements: "The only requirement for the Czech-3 operation is to be fast! Given that there are no strong countermeasures in the Hawaiian islands at present, I think it should be taken as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more dreams. Minister Yamamoto has proposed other requirements for replenishment of troops to the army, and is expected to set off at the end of this month. Our army will launch a Hawaiian strategy with the existing two army divisions and three flight divisions stored in Midway Island."

Everyone agreed unanimously: Although the current military force is smaller than that of the US military in Hawaii, if the army arrives later, it will undoubtedly miss the opportunity if it takes too long to launch a war.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Kusato Ryunosuke read out the combat plan: "The chief ordered that the full blockade of Hawaii starts from November 3, the fleet attack time is set on November 8, and the landing battle preparation time is set on November 11..."

During the Battle of the 3rd, the first choice landing target planned by Chiaki Matsuda was neither the largest Hawaiian island nor the most important Oahu. Instead, the two islands closest to Midway Island are not large in size, have few garrisons, and their defense system is not strong. The army is required to take them down as fast as possible under the fleet cover and serve as a base for advancement.

He considered this very well: although the carrier-based pilots are elite, it is not wise to use them to compete with the US Army Air Force pilots. After occupying these two islands, the Army can use the advantages of the Army to attack those Spitfire fighters with short legs. Mosquito bombers that cannot be shipped can be used by the Army Force to consume US Army Air Force. After all, the Army has given a total of 3 flight divisions! After all, the three are almost exhausted, the four domestic reinforcements will probably arrive on the battlefield.

The combat radius from Niho Island, Kauai to Oahu Island is less than 200 kilometers, which is completely within the range of the land aviation strike. If the Americans want to come and bomb, Chiaki Matsuda will not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to consume the few fuel reserves of the US military. Then wait for the next wave to jump to Lanai Island to avoid the two hard bones of Oahu Island and Hawaii Island. Without planes and fleets, even if the Americans station 100,000 troops, it will be useless and trap you to death!

He was just halfway through his words, and suddenly the telecommunications consultant handed the confidential telegram to Hori Teiki. After seeing it, the latter immediately interrupted Chiaki Matsuda's speech: "After taking down Niho Island and Kauai Island, Gei 3 will be suspended and ready to start Gei 4..."

Everyone was stunned. Monk Chiaki Matsuda was confused. There were only three numbers in the battle between the Jie number. Why did the commander suddenly mention Jie number 4?

Also, what does it mean to suspend Jet 3?
