Chapter 2977 Prologue
The public said the public was right and the woman said the woman was right. The United States and Japan had their own insistence. Several conference calls broke up unhappy, which made both Yamaguchi and Jin feel very angry and impatient.The Americans and Japanese are still arguing over the next action plan. On the other side, the Chinese Pacific Fleet regards the Pacific coast of Papua as its back garden. The naval forces and light ship formations frequently attack, setting the Americans and Japanese in Not to mention the destruction of the offshore naval supply base, they also began to attack the US and Japanese military depots, making the situation of the nearby US and Japanese troops miserable.

It was originally a contest between the navies, but because of the lack of work of the navy, he became a "chiyu" that harmed the fish in the pond. General Wainwright IV, the commander of the US army stationed in New Guinea, quit. For three consecutive days, he Sooner or later, a telegram was sent to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, reporting to them which US military depot in New Zealand had been attacked again, and at the same time asking why they still couldn't see the Pacific Fleet—"Didn't General Kim say that they were chasing China?" Are people running around in the Pacific Ocean? But why the Chinese have started attacking our military depots, and we still can’t see General Jin and his ships?”

Unlike the U.S. Army, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia was dispatched to the Malay Peninsula because of its elite army. The left-behind troops in Papua and nearby islands were either the ones in the Japanese army who did not love their uncles or uncles. The so-called National Independence Army.Therefore, although their encounters were almost the same as those of the U.S. troops stationed in New Guinea, they did not even have the courage to ask Koizumi Toshiichiro for help except for knocking out teeth and swallowing blood.

U.S. President Truman decided not to replace Kim temporarily because of a telegram from Toshiichiro Koizumi, but this does not mean that he can continue to tolerate Kim.He was already seriously dissatisfied with King, and now there is a telegram from Wainwright IV confirming King's "inaction". Finally, he spoke at a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and carefully proposed a new commander of the Pacific Fleet. Officer selection.This action of Truman was heard by a friend of King, and he immediately called King through a secret channel, reminding him that he should act immediately, "use the record to shut up those guys who can only talk loudly." ,

Without this telegram, Jin might choose to continue arguing with Yamaguchi because he has no full chance of winning, but he is unwilling to wait any longer after being stimulated by this telegram.Most importantly, he believes that even without the support of the US Pacific Fleet, Yamaguchi will continue to pursue the Chinese fleet, which is tantamount to helping them see their way out, so he firmly believes that as long as the entire army is dispatched, taking Guam will definitely not be a problem .

"... Guam is different from Palau. The big island of Palau has enough space for the Chinese to build a complete fortification, so even if we have an absolute firepower advantage, we can only adopt a slow-moving tactic. Guam is different, As long as we can defeat China's remaining fleet and continue to attack the enemy's fortifications on the island with intensive firepower, then we will definitely be able to capture Guam in a very short period of time. The island received supplies from Hawaii... Guam was captured by us, would the Chinese dare to continue to stay on the Pacific coast of Papua Island? It is absolutely impossible! If this is the case, wouldn’t the current dilemma be solved?" At a later time At a military meeting in Beijing, after making the decision to attack Guam immediately, King explained his strategy in this way.

The middle and senior commanders of the US Pacific Fleet are by no means mediocre. In view of the current situation, most of them know that if the fleet cannot win another victory, the morale of the entire fleet will drop to a dangerous level .At that time, no matter what the fleet's next combat action is, what is certain is that the overall combat power of the fleet will be greatly reduced.

What the fleet needs most now is fighting, but because the speed cannot keep up with the Chinese fleet, and there are conflicts with the Japanese, it is definitely an unwise choice to force the Chinese fleet.As Jin analyzed, with the Japanese taking care of the rear, it is undoubtedly the best choice to fight the weak Guam.

Jin's decision was supported by everyone. He was very happy and was about to assign tasks. Li Mei stood up and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have a question."

Jin regarded Li Mei very highly, and immediately looked at him and said, "Say it."

"Without us, would the Japanese be a match for the Chinese?"

"Before, the Japanese aircraft carrier was pinned down by the Chinese in the waters of the Malay Peninsula. Without us, the Japanese would definitely not be the opponents of the Chinese," someone immediately answered.

Jin's face changed, because he already knew what Li Mei wanted to express.After being silent for a while, he said: "It seems that we must notify the Japanese before we set off to make them take precautions."

Li Mei: "I am not worried about this, but I am worried that the Japanese will not understand the painstaking efforts of Your Excellency Commander."

"Huh?" Jin's face softened a little.

"We can't keep up with the Chinese, so if we want to force the Chinese into a decisive battle, it's useless to chase them. We can only find a way to make them show up. Commander, this is your real intention to attack Guam, right?"

Li Mei is too good at talking, the real meaning of what he said was to question Jin's decision, but because of the different way of expression, not only did Jin not feel unhappy when he heard it, but a smile appeared on his face.

After he finished speaking, King smiled and said: "Yes, this is the greatest significance of the Battle of Guam."

"If I were General Yamaguchi, I think the most correct choice for the United Fleet is to quietly follow the Pacific Fleet and march north, because it is certain that the Chinese Fleet will not sit back and watch the Pacific Fleet attack Guam, and they will definitely return to defense. Then , as long as the United Fleet keeps up with the Pacific Fleet, it can achieve its original goal, which is to fight the Chinese Fleet—what a pity! Based on what I know about General Yamaguchi, I’m afraid he won’t appreciate your painstaking efforts!”

"How about we remind him?" Someone answered.

Li Mei immediately vetoed it: "It may have worked in the past, but doing so now will only be counterproductive."

"What should I do?"

Li Mei looked at Jin.

Kim pondered.Li Mei's words were euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear. King Kong didn't catch it at first, but now after thinking about it, he understood Li Mei's good intentions.

After pondering for a while, he looked up at Li Mei and said, "We absolutely cannot sit back and watch the Japanese be annihilated by the Chinese, because once that happens, the meaning of our launching this Pacific War will no longer exist. It may not be possible to win against the weakened Chinese."

Li Mei was very happy that Jin understood his painstaking efforts. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Excellency, your analysis is correct."

Jin seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly frowned and said: "It seems that I must have a good exchange of views with Shankou!"
