Chapter 84: Another Nuclear Explosion "How dare they, God, how dare they do such a thing, these liars, cowards and hopeless scum."
When the news came that more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the South American Legion had surrendered collectively in the Samoa Islands with almost no resistance, President Truman's angry roar was heard once again in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, USA. yznn Although the officers and soldiers of the five South American countries in Samoa tried their best to falsify the facts before surrendering, they boasted that they had no choice but to surrender after resisting bravely.
But in the end, the paper could not contain the fire, and the truth was soon discovered by the US intelligence agency: after all, the United States had been operating and ruling Samoa for more than half a century, and its foundation was quite deep, even before it was forced to abandon this archipelago. , also ambushed the agents and secret radio stations in advance.
Therefore, the self-deception of the five South American generals in the Samoa Islands, which they thought was clever, was simply a joke in the eyes of the Pentagon: The Japanese surrendered on the day the first wave of troops landed and detained the Americans on the island.
What kind of brave resistance is this?
Is it good to lead the way?
As a result, the Pentagon's entire combat plan for the South Pacific Theater was completely disrupted.
Although the Americans originally did not think that the South American Legion was very capable, let alone that they could create any miracles under the Japanese army.
But I still think that relying on the strong defenses built by the US military over the years, no matter how useless these guys are, they should be able to hold on in the Samoa Islands for at least half a month.
After such a battle, the Japanese Navy will consume a large amount of ammunition and supplies, even if not many people are killed, and must return to its home port for rest and replenishment.
Repeatedly, until the Japanese army regains its combat effectiveness and launches the next wave of offensives in the South Pacific, this time will be delayed until at least three months.
With this buffer time, the U.S. military had time to think of ways to organize its forces to fight back and contain the Japanese navy's advance.
With the U.S.'
s industrial and terrifying shipbuilding capabilities that had completed war mobilization, it would only take a few months to build a fleet from scratch. time.
However, in fact, these shameless South Americans did not resist at all and handed over the entire Samoa Islands to the Japanese intact.
Not only did the Japanese navy and marines not consume much, but they also seized a large amount of fuel, supplies and Intelligence can launch continuous attacks immediately At this moment, the US military has not had time to build a new base behind the Samoa Islands and formulate a new defense and counterattack plan.
These useless South American bastards have really ruined things and done a lot of harm to people.
However, even if President Truman knew the truth, there was nothing he could do against these South American bastards.
Moreover, rather than denouncing the cowardice, shamelessness, and unreliability of these South American allies, the war situation in the South Pacific, which continues to deteriorate rapidly, is what worries him the most.
"The situation in the South Pacific is terrible, and the entire front has completely collapsed.
Although we had pessimistic expectations about defeat before, we never expected that the Samoan defenders did not even offer symbolic resistance, and left the complete The military port and so many supplies were sent directly to the enemy."
As a think tank, Hopkins looked down at the map and said with a heavy face, "In this way, the unscathed Japanese navy can use Samoa as a base and continue to attack eastward.
Behind Samoa, it is The Kingdom of Tonga and the Frenchman’s Tahiti.”
"It sounds like we are getting closer to America.
Can we stop the Japanese there?"
Truman said, rubbing his forehead.
"Unfortunately, it is almost impossible."
Hopkins shook his head.
"The Kingdom of Tonga is just a small country with a population of less than 100,000.
It has no military power at all, and the indigenous people do not have the determination and courage to fight against the Japanese Empire. . although we once had a military set up in Tonga base, but it is just a transit station for storing supplies, not a combat fortress.
And now that our army has completely withdrawn from Tonga, there are only more than a hundred New Zealanders left there.
I hope they can hold back one.
We should be thankful to the Japanese troops in the brigade for half a day.
As for Tahiti, which is the capital of the French Polynesian colony, the Free French troops stationed there are not more than a thousand people in total.
What will happen when the Japanese attack them?
Mr.
President, you should be able to imagine You have to come out” "Understand that they must be more skillful in raising their hands to surrender than the South Americans.
After all, they are Frenchmen.
They have been exposed to the bright sunshine on the South Pacific beach for so long.
The armpits of the Frenchmen on Tahiti are probably better than those on their mainland.
Our compatriots are much darker.”
President Truman curled his lips and said with helpless ridicule that the French army's shocking record of being wiped out by the Nazi German army on the European battlefield had made the French a laughing stock around the world and completely lost their reputation for bravery inherited from the Napoleonic era.
Erjing, from all over the world Newspapers and magazines are full of all kinds of short jokes mocking the French Army who can't fight: How to address a hundred thousand Frenchmen who raise their hands at the same time, and of course the French Army.
How can you identify a French veteran by looking at his armpits?
That's all.

They are very healthy due to the sun.
Of course, global powers generally express extremely pessimistic views on the combat effectiveness of the contemporary French army.
For example, General Patton vowed publicly: "I would rather have a German division in front of my troops than a French division behind my troops."
If the Italian army in World War II was like noodles, then the French army was probably not even noodles.
No matter how bad and ugly the record was, the Italians managed to fight for three years, while the French, who thought they were bullshit, Didn't even really last three months Therefore, after the rapid fall of the Samoa Islands and the destruction of the Kingdom of Tonga, instead of counting on the French bastards on Tahiti whose bones have been softened by tropical fruits, coconut wine and indigenous girls, they probably have forgotten how to shoot a gun.
The Tahitian native girl of the colonial army is famous for her beauty and enthusiasm He is famous for not wearing much clothes since ancient times, and he is extremely bold in sex.
He likes to sleep with foreign travelers and borrow seeds.
If he can perform any miracles in front of the ferocious Japanese invaders, it is better to pray to God to send a precise attack.
The typhoon blew the entire Japanese fleet into the bottom of the sea.
However, those French soldiers who love life on Tahiti can certainly surrender without shame, but in the face of the overall collapse of the South Pacific war situation, the White House and the Pentagon cannot ignore it.
It needs to be pointed out that in the vast expanse of Although the South Pacific seems to be dotted with various islands, there are only a few large islands with excellent ports, capable of berthing large ships, and where a fleet can be stationed for a long time.
On the Polynesian Islands that span the entire South Pacific, the coral islands and reefs are indeed blue and silver-sand, with infinite charm, but the common problem is that the water depth is too shallow.
The bottom of the sea can be seen from the surface, making it often difficult to berth large ships.
The water depth of volcanic islands is generally sufficient, but the coastline is often too steep and lacks harbors for shelter.
There are also some islands that finally have excellent deep-water havens.
However, the islands lack fresh water and are difficult to accommodate a large population even for a short period of time.
They are also not suitable as an anchorage for a large fleet.
For example, among the huge Hawaiian Islands Among them, Oahu is the only island suitable to serve as a military port.
In the same way, Tahiti, famous for its passionate and bold girls and black pearls, is already the easternmost large island among the entire Polynesian Islands with an excellent port and a large settled population.
If the front line is retreated further east, only Pitcairn Island, where the story of the mutiny and bloodshed was once staged, and Easter Island, which is famous for its huge stone statues, will remain.
Both Pitcairn Island and Easter Island are of little military value.
The former is only the size of New York's Central Park, with only fifty residents.
The waves are very large and the coast is extremely rugged and steep.
There is no way to stop the boat, otherwise it will be washed up on the rocks by the waves and smashed to pieces.
From the 18th century to the present, no large ship has ever actually docked at Pitcairn Island.
Outsiders who want to get to the island can only rely on small boats or rafts.
Although the area of the latter is much larger, just looking at the fact that the indigenous people on Easter Island were able to deforestation in order to build stone statues, turning the island into a desert and torturing themselves to the point of extinction, it should be said that I know how unsuitable the environment of that place is for human habitation.
According to the survey report of naval experts, it is very suitable to build an airport on Easter Island because the island has flat terrain and solid geology.
The forests on the island were cleared centuries ago by indigenous people who were keen on making stone statues.
Due to the manufacture of levers and rolling logs for transporting stone statues, only low grasslands and deserts are left.
At first glance, it makes people mistakenly think that they have arrived in North Africa.
Therefore, it is easier to build an airport on Easter Island than on those coral islands.
Much more.
Then, it is possible to build a radar station on Easter Island, but there is no need.
The nearest land to Easter Island is also 1,700 kilometers away, and now the reconnaissance range of any sea and air radar is only a mere It is only a few dozen kilometers away, even if the radar station is built on the mountain, it is not far away.
With such a vast and empty sea all around, the enemy can completely go around it.
If you want to station a large fleet for a long time, it would be a nightmare.
First of all, there is no natural shelter.
If a storm comes, the entire fleet may be smashed on the rocks; secondly, there is a lack of fresh water and fresh fruits and vegetables on Easter Island.
All supplies must be collected and transported from Chile, which is two thousand kilometers away.
In short, from various angles, this is an island that is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Setting up defenses here is simply asking for trouble for yourself.
"That is to say, if we cannot send the fleet south in time for reinforcements, the entire South Pacific will be planted with the sun flag this year.
The Japanese fleet will easily fight from Samoa all the way to Easter Island.
Oh, God, this It’s really too bad.”

Looking at the thick arrow representing the Japanese navy on the map, crossing the Pacific from west to east, advancing along the Polynesian Islands, and approaching the Chilean coast of South America, President Truman couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
If the Japanese are really allowed to attack Easter Island, no, even as far as Tahiti, then the Allied forces in New Zealand will be completely isolated.
Because, now that Samoa has fallen, once Tahiti is lost, the U.S. merchant fleet will completely lose its supply points and transit stations in the South Pacific.
If it wants to provide any assistance to New Zealand or transport any reinforcements, They all had to set off from Chile.
After sailing more than 10,000 kilometers without a supply base within the sphere of influence of the Japanese navy and air force, it would be a miracle that one of the twenty ships could reach the destination.
After many wars in New Zealand, 20% of the country's population has died, almost all young and middle-aged men have been wiped out, and industrial and agricultural production has completely collapsed.
Now it is relying on a bunch of old men, women, and children to survive.
Hold a gun and resist.
Even so, everything from bullets to bread also depends on the generous assistance of the United States.
If this last maritime lifeline is cut off, the country's demise will only be a matter of time.
Of course, the White House and the Pentagon are actually mentally prepared for the fall of New Zealand.
Such an outcome was basically doomed when the U.S. military was shrinking its forces.
The difference was just the timing.
But the problem is, if the myth of the Japanese naval combined fleet's invincibility cannot be broken, and if the Japanese fleet sweeps all the way to the Polynesian Islands, goes straight to Easter Island, and even completely penetrates the South Pacific and haunts the coasts of Peru and Chile, then what will happen to the United States?
In other words, it is not just a matter of losing New Zealand, but there will be trouble in South America's backyard.
As the backyard of the United States, Americans have been operating in Latin American countries for many years since the "Monroe Doctrine" was proposed by Americans, and the various comprador forces they have fostered are intertwined and deeply rooted.
Even if a few anti-American figures occasionally pop up, pro-American forces are still the mainstream.
But the problem is that there is no such thing as unreasonable loyalty in this world.
Those so-called pro-American forces in Latin American countries only choose to turn to and rely on the United States out of considerations of their own interests.
But this does not mean that they are willing to go to hell with the United States of America.
In fact, these guys are basically just wallflowers who only chase strong people to kneel and lick them.
If the U.S. hegemony shows signs of decline and collapse, then these scoundrels who were so flattering just a moment ago will probably backfire more fiercely than anyone else once they turn against their American masters.
If the United States completely loses the entire South Pacific and sits helpless as the Japanese fleet rampages the South American coast, then the dictators in South American countries will probably start to get ready to try to make some trouble against the United States in case the Japanese come back.
If the victory continues like this, and the US military is still unable to reverse its decline, it is estimated that Latin American countries will be shaken more seriously, and it is not impossible to rebel even if they raise their flags.
However, on the other hand, President Truman also knew very well that it would not be a good idea to force the Pacific Fleet to go south to attack now and choose to have a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy's eastward advancing fleet in Tahiti or other islands in French Polynesia. idea.
First of all, a considerable number of ships of the Pacific Fleet have just withdrawn from the South Pacific to Hawaii.
They have not had time to maintain and maintain the ships, and the sailors have not had time to rest.
A hasty attack will inevitably greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.
Not to mention it was an expedition with a straight-line voyage of more than 5,000 kilometers.
Secondly, the strength of the Pacific Fleet is now greatly damaged, and the remaining ships are almost at their limit in being able to defend Hawaii and maintain the Japanese battlefield supply lines across the North Pacific.
If we take out this last bit of wealth and throw it into the South Pacific to fight a large-scale war, what should we do about the more important Hawaiian Islands to the north, which is trapped in the Japanese Archipelago with hundreds of thousands of troops?
What to do on the battlefield?
It should be noted that Japan's frontline today is where the fate of the country is at stake, and the vast majority of the U.S.
Army's elite have been deployed one after another.
Neither Congress nor the people can tolerate a huge defeat that will cost them nothing.
The Hawaiian Islands, especially Oahu, where the military port is located, are of extremely important strategic significance to the U.S.
Navy.
Once they fall into the hands of the enemy, if they want to recapture them in the future, they will have to pay at least several times the blood.
If the above two If there is a mistake, even if the naval battle in the South Pacific can be won, it will probably become a joke in the eyes of the world.
Suddenly, President Truman found himself in a dilemma.
No matter how he made a decision, he might be impeached by Congress and step down. s: The refugees who entered Germany refused to do paid volunteer work, claiming "We are Merkel's guests, and there is no reason for the guests to work."
With such a confident look, are they still considered refugees?
They are clearly sirs.
Those authentic Germans are doing it for free.
