Chapter 1049 We can no longer underestimate the enemy
Such amazing news of the fall of Hawaii soon swept the world.
The leaders of major countries even learned the details through their own intelligence departments in advance.
"I have said it long ago that you should not underestimate the enemy to the Chinese army!" Stalin's seemingly gloating greeting made Roosevelt feel the veins on his forehead twitch.
The Soviets were repeatedly defeated by the Chinese army, and Stalin was furious and helpless, and had to pinch his nose to recognize some of the accusations that Britain and the United States had for the incompetence of the Soviet army.
Although Stalin also understood that this was some tricks between Britain and the United States and the Soviet Union, he was unable to refute it. The affliction in his heart made him roar in the cold palace.
When Stalin heard that Hawaii was occupied by China and repeatedly confirmed the news was accurate, his first reaction was that he was finally released like constipation problems. Not to mention the arrogant behavior of the Americans towards the Soviet Union, just one more brother and brother around him made Stalin feel much more relaxed, and even exempted hundreds of people from the death penalty for several days in succession.
Of course, I still don’t forget to “greet and comfort” Roosevelt every day.
"Chinese people should not be careless, they need to deal with it with all their strength!" Churchill also greeted Roosevelt in time.
Even the loud voices that were like quarrels in the past were lowered by octaves, but Roosevelt knew that Churchill's greetings were not bad at all.
The Americans' battlefield is not just in Asia, but their biggest battlefield is in Europe, whether it is the army, navy or air force.
China stopped at the gates of Europe, allowing Americans to see the cheaper, and were eager to get Europe done before the coordination between Germany and China was completed.
With the American push, the war against Germany in Europe has once again reached a heightened momentum.
War is a bottomless pit that swallows all kinds of resources. The Germans who have fought for six consecutive years are exhausted.
Even if Germany and China form an alliance, China's strong rise is so eye-catching. But the arrogant Europeans have already set a fixed policy for China. Unless they see it with their own eyes, they do not believe in the strength of the Chinese at all. And the Americans have allowed Europeans to accept the rise of the New World for a century. They believe more in the alliance between the United States and the old European empires. It is not uncommon for the United States to grasp the right to speak in the Allied Army.
Not only France, but also the anti-German and Italian resistance forces in various European countries also picked up the thick American legs.
When they heard that China had captured Hawaii, they first did not believe it. All countries had their own intelligence lines, and the news was confirmed not long after, but they were not worried, but greeted the United States and expressed their loyalty.
But their loyalty sounds so harsh to the senior American executives such as Roosevelt.
"Now the whole world knows that we have suffered a great defeat at China and lost Hawaii. But we can't even figure out how we lost it or how we were defeated by China! I have to say that there is a big problem with our intelligence!" The front line of Hawaii is still fighting fiercely, and the handling of Nimitz and the US Pacific Navy is still being debated, but Roosevelt first pointed his anger at Hoover's FBI, and even the Strategic Intelligence Agency, which was directly under the leadership of Donovan, was criticized.
Since the war with China began, Americans have felt that they lag behind China in terms of intelligence, making it difficult to exert their own strength and are constrained everywhere.
Especially in this battle in Hawaii, the Americans misjudged the strength of China and carried it one after another.
If the American reinforcements around him had not arrived quickly, I am afraid that the loss of the rescuing fleet that Liannimitz hurriedly returned would not only be one main aircraft carrier and three escort aircraft carriers, three cruisers were sunk, and the other main ships were injured and might have fallen there.
Nimitz's last chance to win back his fate ended like this.
The news of the fall of Hawaii has caused a lot of controversy around the world. Even the news that Nimitz, who had drawn the surrounding troops, was deceived, spread, and his hurrying return to the aid was hit again. Regardless of the loss, such a result means that Nimitz's command ability will be questioned by everyone. With the Americans being embarrassed in front of the whole world and needing a move to cover their face, Nimitz, who has enough weight, has no room for maneuver to take the blame.
Although Nimitz was unwilling to give up, he also admitted in his heart that he did underestimate the enemy this time.
Who would have thought that Huaxia was just a fleet attacking Hawaii. Not long after, it quickly mobilized a large army and directly broke Nimitz's wings of hope like an iron barrel.
Not only Nimitz is underestimating China's enemies, almost all Americans will not feel that China poses a fatal threat to the United States. Even after this Battle of Hawaii, many people still think that China is a temporary lucky draw.
The war between countries ultimately depends on the comparison of strength.
Apart from the industrial capabilities hidden in the dark such as copycat companies, who would feel that on the surface, China, whose industrial strength has not yet climbed to one-tenth of the world, can fight against the United States, whose industrial strength accounts for nearly half of the world's total industrial strength at this time?
Although a battle in Hawaii finally made more Americans feel a great threat, no one thinks this threat is fatal.
The merits of defeating Japan in succession and forcing Germany into desperate situations have made the title of the United States' most powerful country recognized by the world, and have also greatly expanded American confidence.
In the eyes of most Americans, the US team is the most powerful, especially the Navy.
Even if the Chinese army is very strong, I am afraid that I can only sigh at the United States on the other end of the Pacific.
It doesn't matter if it is sneak attacked by China and occupied Hawaii. Not to mention that the Americans are confident that their army will be recaptured soon, and they will also teach the Chinese Navy a severe lesson. Hawaii's strategy is not that important in the eyes of many people.
At this time, Hawaii, which has not been officially listed as a state in the United States, has not yet left its colonial status. In the United States, where isolationism is still strong, as long as it does not threaten the United States, the United States will still be paradise.
But obviously many senior executives in the United States don’t think so.
The strategic importance of Hawaii is unquestionable, and China, which occupy Hawaii, is not so easy to deal with.
The battle in Hawaii made the Americans' faces burnt, and it completely awakened the American senior officials who had always been arrogant and looked down on China.
These days, the more they learn about the details of China, the more surprised they are.
Before we knew it, China had grown into a behemoth that could confront the Americans.
"Huaxia is our biggest enemy in the East in the future!" This sentence has been recognized by almost all senior officials.
"No, China is our biggest enemy in the world in the future!" Roosevelt obviously attached more importance to the rise of China.
Including the support behind the counterfeit company and the somewhat mysterious Chairman Meng, China has too many secrets that have not been seen through. Compared with the Germans who showed their decline and the Soviet Russians, British and French, China, which has risen faster and faster, is the roadblock that Americans must get rid of in the future.
"We will treat them as enemies that are even more dangerous than the Germans in the future! Our global strategy and strategic arrangements for China need to be adjusted again!" Although Roosevelt listed China as the number one opponent, he still looked down on the strength that China showed at this time. His emphasis was more on dealing with the declined Germans, and then defeating the Chinese and winning the entire Asia.
He believed that as long as the main force of the United States and Europe pressed against China, China, which had dragged the front too long, would fall down quickly, but he could never expect that the miracle of China would continue. (To be continued.)
