In late April 1937, although it was a little later than expected, the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet was still loaded with a large number of marines to Gua Island.

According to the last information on the island, at this time, there was already a Japanese Ono Division led by Lieutenant General Ono Ichiro of the Japanese Army, and a part of the second Nishimura Division led by Lieutenant General Takumi Nishimura.

At this time, there were two other flight teams of the air women's combat logistics teams at the airport on Guadacanal. If the total number of combat aircraft is not included in the rotor aircraft, it has reached 648. The number of razor rotor attack aircraft has reached 432 at this time.

This is undoubtedly a very powerful combat force. According to international legend, the Japanese are still interested in deploying a B-1 four-engine long-range heavy bomber purchased from the Chinese Federation at the Guadalang Airport, which continues to expand into a large airport.

They are no different from the B1 Albatross long-range bombers used by the Americans, but their load capacity and range have enabled them to strike Australia and New Zealand's strategic goals.

This is not a good trend. At least this threat is not favored by General Douglas MacArthur, who fled the Philippines and recruited troops in Australia.

Therefore, under the repeated urging of the New Zealand government and the Australian government, the US military had to ship the battle for Guadacanal in advance.

In order to deal with the two Japanese garrison divisions, the United States dispatched the 1st Marine Division, 2nd Division and two other infantry divisions. At the same time, the New Zealand government and the Australian government also agreed that if the landing operation is completed, they will send an infantry division to participate in the landing operation.

In this way, the total number of infantry forces attacking the side reached 6, about 120,000 to 150,000. Although some people think that this is too large, in fact, the New Zealand Division and the Australian Division are newly formed troops, and what the US military can expect is that they can defend the rear in the subsequent battles, or the troops stationed and completed the defense after the US military completely occupied Guadacanal Island.

In the Navy, the commander-in-chief of the US military's naval operations is still William Frederick Halsey, but at this moment he is already the rank of lieutenant general. He has the power of his air fleet and two special-mixed fleets on the surface.

The other way is the South Pacific Navy fleet responsible for landing and security in the waters near Guadacanal Island. Lieutenant General Robert Gormley is the commander, with a landing cover group of 3 aircraft carriers, 1 battleship, 14 cruisers, and 32 destroyers.

It can be seen that as the first landing operation of the US military on the Pacific battlefield, this battle had many means to imitate the Japanese Navy's operations.

For example, the landing fleet and the Japanese fleet that controls the security of the sea are the 7th Fleet commanded by Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey.

The landing fleet commanded by Lieutenant General Gormley mainly focuses on landing operations. Obviously, the advantage of this is that the landing fleet will not be responsible for offensive operations against the air and the sea. The warships decided at sea will not have to worry about landing operations.

Because of this kind of combat formation method, it will also indicate the future battle for Guadacanal, whether in the air, on the sea or on the island, it will be an extremely tragic battle.

Just as soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions of the US Marine Corps left New Zealand on the battleship of Lieutenant General Gormley's fleet and headed towards Guadacanal, the Japanese military had already received an early warning that Guadacanal was about to be launched.

Then he returned to the troops' transportation and planned to do his best to complete the transportation work of the Second Army's Guard Division before the US military began the attack.

At the same time, the Japanese Navy First Fleet, which was still leased by the Japanese government, was renovated by the Japanese Navy's territory, which was still in the Japanese government, accelerated the work of replenishing fighter jets and personnel and ammunition.

All of this shows that an unprecedentedly fierce war is about to take place here on Guadacanal. However, the subsequent battle for Guadacanal was snatched by Barbarossa's plan.

All of this started with a telegram sent by Ribbintrov to the German head of state Heinrich Himmler.

"My head of state, the Polish army has now reached the strength of nearly 50 divisions, and they do not need to defend against other borders, so they can launch a full-scale attack from Lithuania. Detailed information and contact information have been sent to the General Staff Steinar Division, Hi Himmler..."

On the phone, Heinrich Himmler always feels a little strange when he listens to this sentence "Hi. Himmler". However, now that he is the head of state, he no longer cares about these things.

After all, he was only responsible for some work such as the SS or the Secret Police. He was facing the entire Germany, and even the German government, which had lost the guidance of the "Military 5 Devil Team" of the Federal Military Intelligence Agency.

This undoubtedly made him discover that the entire German government, including the military institutions, was completely unacceptable to handling so much information and compiling so many plans. He was very doubtful about how the demon Adolf Hitler of the past could do these tasks.

Especially in his memory, Adolf Hitler always had a lot of free time to do other things. But when he mastered the entire authority, he realized how tedious and exhausted this was a profession!

"Fortunately, my Storm Corps has completed the marshalling at this time. So the following... Maybe we should take advantage of the Americans and the Japanese fighting to death on Guadacanal Island to execute the Barbarossa plan. Speaking of which, that plan is really a nearly perfect combat plan!"

After receiving Ribbentrop's report, Heinrich Himmler went to Lao to inspect the Storm Corps the next day.

As Feiglein described to him at the earliest, when the five brigade-level forces carried out a consistent operation, the power it exerted was completely a destructive way.

The armored spearheads formed by the Tank Brigade and two heavy brigades assaulted forward under the cover of bombers, gunboats and rotor attack aircraft. The Light Brigade is responsible for protecting the base, eliminating residual enemies, protecting supply lines and other tasks.

However, due to the small combat area, this type of troops formed with assault as the main purpose is not suitable for defense or other types of combat. Its only combat method is to rush forward continuously with the cooperation of complete aerial firepower.

Whether it is armored troops or infantry defending based on the groundbreaking area, there is almost no hope to stop such attacks that rely entirely on air-ground integration and take offense as a professional attack.

Of course, such an army cannot be used alone. There must be enough infantry corps and other troops behind it to cover the transportation lines behind it, and other tasks of cleaning up and defending it.

"The combat capability is good, but unfortunately our scale is still a little smaller. If these are division-level troops, then I think our strike force will be further strengthened. If the Storm Legion is in the current organization, it would be difficult for us to bear the real mission of a campaign assault!"

Of course, Heinrich Himmler could see that this Storm Corps, which was entirely composed of the German SS, had the limelight during the confrontation drill.

It can be said that under the same number, no army in the German army can withstand the attack of this force.

"It's a pity that time is a bit tight. Otherwise, if I could have three Storm Legions and use them in three directions as sharp swords, then the Soviets' defense line should be vulnerable! Now the Battle of Guadacanal in the Pacific is about to begin, so we only have 2 to 4 months to prepare at most. When the battle there is in a stalemate, we can take action!"

"If it were all brigades, I think the three sharp blades would become one of the best weapons in our hands. If it was a division level, I was worried that we would not have enough resources to achieve this goal. Then Feigelan, I would like to ask what you mean. Do you think we should have an extremely powerful sword or three daggers?"

This is the conclusion that Heinrich Himmler came to after long-term thinking about Germany's resources. At least he, who had just taken power, could not take time out all the elite troops of other German SS units.

In addition, his hands could not be stretched too long, and if most officers in the army began to be dissatisfied with him, it would be a dangerous sign.

Facing Heinrich Himmler's pursuit, Feiglein didn't have much choice. As a person who has been chasing honor, he chose the former without hesitation.

"Of course, my head of state, if we could have a huge machete, I think the attack on the other side would be faster and more decisive. Under the attack of this machete, the war might not be over long!"

Faced with Feiglein, who played a huge role in his coming to power, Heinrich Himmler compromised.
