Chapter 1684: The island country stands aside
The scene was quite spectacular. On the dark and peaceful island, a huge fireball suddenly appeared out of thin air. When this fireball appeared, the night turned into daytime, and the strong light was enough to cause temporary blindness to human eyes.
This fireball spreads out quickly, crushing everything wherever it goes.
On the middle of the road, fighter jets were squeezed into pieces when they came into contact with the fireball. Then, the oil inside was burned and turned into new fireballs one by one.
The air waves spread outward. When they reached the sea, stormy waves quickly started on the sea surface. The waves were dozens of meters high, and all the ships docked in the port were overturned.
The fireball occupied the entire island almost instantly, with black mushroom clouds rising high, the sea water was vaporized, and streams of white smoke emerged.
No one could survive this attack. When the explosion sounded, the pheasant Fifty-six surrounded by the fog of the explosion and the pilot in front of him almost instantly swept a high temperature of thousands of degrees and turned into ashes, and the entire plane also burned.
Then, the powerful shock wave crushed everything on the ground, and other aircraft and personnel hiding in the buildings could not survive. When the shock wave passed, the entire island was smoothed out.
At this time, in the group of B-29 bombers returning in the sky, someone witnessed the huge fireball behind, as if burning on the ocean. They were also extremely excited in their hearts. This bombing finally succeeded!
Midway Island, after the islanders attempted to occupy it, they acted as an unsinkable aircraft carrier to control the entire Pacific Ocean and block the US Navy in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. In this way, the island countries could easily go south to Southeast Asia and gain the benefits of the entire Southeast Asia.
The islanders almost succeeded. After they landed on Midway Island, they built a base here and stationed fighter jets. After more than a month of tossing, they put huge pressure on the US Navy, so that they even struggled to attack the islanders' transport ships.
Now, with the explosion of the bomb, Midway Island has finally been smoothed out. No island defenders can survive. After dawn, American soldiers will step on here again.
This way of seizing islands is quite barbaric and quite effective.
The bombing in the Pacific seemed to be just a small action, but it brought great gains to the United States. From then on, the United States no longer has to worry about threats in the Pacific.
Almost all the main ships of the island navy were lost. Now, even the base on Midway Island has been lost, and the balance of war is tilted towards the United States!
At the White House, the senior Americans who have been waiting for it were extremely excited after receiving this news.
"If we blow up Midway Island, we don't have to take the islanders seriously anymore. Although we cannot bomb the island countries on a large scale, we can also defend the Pacific Ocean. Now, our navy can do our best to deal with the threat from Germany." Nimitz's voice was very high.
As a general guarding the Pacific, Nimitz was under great pressure, especially after the loss of Midway, Nimitz had hardly had a good night's sleep. Now, finally, the threat from the island country has disappeared.
"Yes, the islanders no longer have the means to control the ocean. We can temporarily put the island countries and do our best to deal with the German threat." Marshall also came to the conclusion.
In the past, the islanders were the most powerful. Several attack aircraft carriers were enough to launch a raid, such as Pearl Harbor. However, after several naval battles, all the islanders' aircraft carriers sank, and the rest were escort aircraft carriers, wandering around Southeast Asia. Forget it, if you come to the Pacific Ocean to find the United States to fight again, it would be absolutely nonsense.
Midway, the turning point of the Pacific War, new weapons have a great effect on promoting the war!
"However, we cannot let the island countries go laissez-faire." Arnold said: "If we use China as our base, we can fly to the island countries for bombing, and we have also begun to develop aerial refueling technology. After our b-29 is refueled in the air, we can meet the round trip from Hawaii to the island countries."
In the past, bombing the island country's land was a very difficult task. It required the aircraft carrier to carry the B-25 and take off when it was found in the waters near the island country. Once it was discovered by the huge fleet of the island people, it had to take off early.
How did the US Navy survive that? It had to go around the island country.
Now, finally no longer needed.
The island nation's navy was destroyed most of its elite forces in naval battles, but the US Navy grew up.
Now, the US Navy no longer regards the island navy as an enemy, and the aviation force can also find trouble for the islanders at any time.
The b-29 has a considerable range and can take off from the Chinese War Zone. Moreover, on the other hand, they have also developed aerial refueling technology. One of the b-29s is used as an aerial refueling aircraft to refuel the other b-29. In this way, the b-29 can greatly extend the range of the b-29 and realize cross-continental flight!
Although it was prepared for bombing the European mainland, it is good to use it in advance and let the islanders try it.
Roosevelt nodded: "Our main threat is Germany. Our biggest advantage is the sea. Germany will not win by armored soldiers like on the European continent. As long as we destroy the German naval power, we will be invincible."
Just like now, if the island country's navy is destroyed, the island country will lose its combat effectiveness. If the German navy is destroyed, then the German landing across the sea is just a dream.
Roosevelt is confident that although the east coast of the United States has suffered a severe blow, as long as the ice aircraft carrier plan can be steadily advanced and results can be achieved as soon as possible, his side will have hope of victory!
"I don't know what happened to our raid in Europe?" Roosevelt looked at the map on the wall. The attack on Midway was just a small-scale bombing. Blasting shipyards along the coast of Europe and destroying the European shipbuilding industry was what Roosevelt looked forward to most.
"There is no news yet," Arnold said.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw an assistant holding a telegram and hurried over: "Emergency intelligence, Greenland base, was suddenly air strikes from Germany, and suffered heavy losses."
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
This is the case every time. In order to bomb Europe, our side secretly deployed bombers in Greenland. Just now they were air strikes by the Germans?
There is no such coincidence, it must be another omission in the intelligence system!
