Time retreated ten hours ago, at 2 a.m. Eastern Time on December 12, 1940.

On the ocean 500 nautical miles northwest of Oahu, a huge naval fleet was passing through the storm.

This huge fleet consists of 12 aircraft carriers, 8 cruisers, 19 destroyers, 12 submarines, 8 oil tankers and 16 modified transport ships of merchant ships. The entire naval formation stretches for dozens of nautical miles.

The Nagamon air carrier is just an inconspicuous warship in the entire fleet, but it is the flagship of Iroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.

The Nagamon was originally a battleship with a full load displacement of 42,800 tons!

But almost a year ago, the meritorious battleship, which had been in service for nearly 20 years, was demolished most of the deck buildings, laying runways on the deck, and converted into an aircraft carrier.

The modified Nagamon aircraft carrier can carry more than 70 combat aircraft.

At this moment, Yamamoto Iroru was standing in front of the porthole of the Nagamon Bridge. Outside the porthole of the bridge, heavy rain was pouring out. A hurricane over level nine rolled up huge waves on the sea surface, pressing towards the Nagamon like a mountain.

A few minutes later, the huge waves like mountains and mountains hit hard on the side of the Changmen.

The Nagato hull tilted to the right side with a visible amplitude.

It seemed that I could not withstand such a tilt, and the steel structure of the entire ship began to creak.

The sailors and young staff in the command room suddenly showed nervous expressions, but Yamamoto Iroku, who was standing in front of the porthole, remained motionless and his body was as stable as an old dog.

"Don't be nervous, boys." Yamamoto Iroku didn't look back, but seemed to see the nervousness on the faces of the sailors and young staff behind him, and said with a smile, "This level of storm is just a small scene."

Yamamoto Izuru's calmness instantly infected the sailors and these young advisers.

A naval officer carrying the rank of Colonel slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Izuru Yamamoto.

"Your Excellency Commander." The Colonel paused slightly and said, "What are you thinking about at this moment?"

"I was thinking..." Yamamoto Izuru paused slightly and said, "This sudden storm is really the Tianyou Empire."

"Hayi." The Colonel's officer paused again and said, "Although we have done our best to keep confidentiality work and the entire fleet has remained radio silent since leaving the home port, it may be discovered in the end. However, this sudden storm greatly reduced the risk of our discovery."

While the two of them were talking, another general carrying the rank of lieutenant general walked behind Yamamoto Izuru.

The uniform of this Japanese lieutenant general is obviously different from that of Yamamoto Izuru, and it is the Air Force.

This lieutenant general of the Air Force is nothing but the first commander of the Japanese Air Force, Yamaguchi Tatsuki.

"Commander!" Yamaguchi Tatsume still respected Yamamoto Izuru as the commander, because he really respected Yamamoto Izuru in his heart.

Yamamoto Iroji nodded slightly as a return gift, and said, "Yamaguchi-guchi, the fleet will soon enter the designated area. Is your Air Force ready?"

"Hai." Yamaguchi Daowen said, "Our Air Force's four air wings have all been prepared. Just by the order of the commander, he can launch a devastating bombing on Pearl Harbor, the home port of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, and military facilities on the Hawaiian Islands!"

"Yoxi." Yamamoto Iroku nodded happily after hearing this.

Time passed quietly during the conversation between the three people.

I don’t know when the storm outside had stopped.

The sea is so strange. It was still a storm a quarter of an hour ago, but it was already calm in the blink of an eye.

The entire sea surface was as quiet as a mirror, and even the air on the sea surface was completely still, and the whole world was as quiet as dead.

Yamaguchi Tatsumeshi couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so quiet."

"Yes, it's so quiet." Yamamoto Izuru nodded slightly, his eyes deep.

Yamaguchi Tatsume continued: "The storm of nature has passed, but a storm initiated by the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Air Force is about to begin!"

Yamamoto Iroru turned around suddenly, his deep eyes fell on Yamaguchi Tatsume, and then said word by word: "Yamaguchi, then go and open this curtain. An era is being written by your hands!"

"Hayi!" Yamaguchi Daowen bowed his head heavily, then turned around to the Colonel's key point.

The next moment, the lights on the Nagamon Bridge lit up one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the entire bridge became brightly lit.

Immediately afterwards, the bridges of dozens of warships in the entire formation lit up one after another, and the radio that had been in silence before began to recover, and the entire void was instantly filled with radio waves.

Not long after, the decks of the 12 aircraft carriers became busy.

Then, one reconnaissance plane after another, fighter plane and bomber took off one after another from the deck.

In a blink of an eye, the first attack formation had nearly 200 combat aircraft taken off from 12 aircraft carriers, and then completed the formation in the air, forming a huge attack aircraft group covering the entire sky, and then rushed towards Pearl Harbor, two hundred kilometers southeast, under the guidance of reconnaissance aircraft.

...

Yamamoto Iroku stood in front of the bridge porthole from beginning to end.

Watching the indicator light of the last bomber disappear in the horizon, when Yamamoto Iroku retracted his gaze again, he saw that the deck of the Nagato ship's mother was already busy again.

One combat aircraft after another was lifted up through lifts.

After a while, the deck that had been emptied was once again covered with planes.

Then a team of pilots wearing flying caps walked out of the bridge lounge, walked towards their respective combat aircraft, either stepped on the wings or through the gangway into the cockpit, then entered the runway under the guidance of the navigator, started queuing, and then flew together from the deck.

One after another, rising to the sky one after another.

In less than half an hour, the second batch of combat aircraft had been lifted from the Nagamon.

Most of the aircraft that took off from Nagamon are Nagamon.

At this time, the remaining combat aircraft of the second echelon also took off from another 11 aircraft carriers, and nearly 200 combat aircraft completed formations in the air, and then roared away.

After a moment, all the combat aircraft of the second attack echelon disappeared into the air.
