The United States has deciphered the telegraph code of the island's radio communication, which only a few people at the top know. After all, this is too important.

After breaking the code, you can know the trend of the island country, but that doesn't mean you can know everything.

For example, after close investigation, they know that the island country will sneak attacks on its own island, but they don't know where it is. In the radio communication of the island country, it is called AF.

Nimitz and others fell into bitter thinking. For island countries, where do they want to attack the United States? Obviously, either midway or Aleutian Islands.

According to their speculation, Nimitz thought of a way to disclose the lack of fresh water in the Aleutian Islands through an unclassified way. He hoped to arrange merchant ships to replenish fresh water in the Aleutian Islands as soon as possible.

As a result, on the same day, in the radio communication of the island country, it was reported that AF lacked fresh water and hoped that the offensive troops would bring enough fresh water.

In this way, the goal is finally determined, that is, the Aleutian Islands!

This is a masterpiece of nature. Look at the map. In the north of the Pacific Ocean and the southwest of Alaska, there is a semi-circular band of islands, which extends intermittently from east to west, almost near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Asia. More than 2700 kilometers long.

The Aleutian Islands are almost distributed on this circle, with anader bay at the northern end of the Bering Sea as the central point and the distance from this central point to the Aleutian Islands as the radius.

If the Bering Sea is compared to a river, the Aleutian Islands are like a long string of "stepping stones" bending out of the water. Starting from the Alaska Peninsula, you can "walk" to the opposite bank of the "River".

This is the Aleutian archipelago, which crosses the North Pacific in the form of the above string moon. It is a strategic place for the United States in the northern Pacific.

From Europe to America, no matter in navigation or aviation, it will not go through the coil, which is relatively long. Instead, it will go north to high latitudes and then south, which can greatly save the voyage.

In other words, the Aleutian Islands are on the shortest road from the island country and the Far East to North America and Northern Europe, and it is also the closest place between the United States and Russia.

If the islanders capture here, the islanders' bombers can easily fly to the west coast of the United States to bomb, and the islanders' fleet can also start from here and radiate to the west coast of the United States, which is quite disadvantageous to the United States.

Another factor is the water channel that will seriously threaten the transportation of materials from the United States to the Soviet Union.

There is no alliance between the island countries and Germany, but the relationship between the two sides is close. When the islanders bombed Pearl Harbor, they relied on a large number of German bombers.

The presence of German submarines in the Arctic must also have something to do with island countries. German factors make the Aleutian Islands the target of island people.

Overall, Aleutian Islands are composed of five groups of islands: Fox, andreyanov, Sishan, lat and Neil. There are 159 large and small islands, with a total area of about 18000 square kilometers.

There are only three excellent ports in the islands, among which the former Dutch port on the east coast of the Alaska Peninsula is close. It has strategic military value and has always been a US naval and air force base. At the northwest top of the Aleutian Islands is ATU Island, which is the final island in the American territory and the nearest Island adjacent to the Soviet Union. The island has many harbors and dangerous situation. It is a natural anchorage for ships.

Geographically, ATU island must be the first island to be occupied by the islanders. It is close to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union does not have a strong navy and air force here, and the United States is out of reach. It is easy to be occupied by the islanders when caught off guard.

After that, the islanders will continue to expand eastward, gradually encroach on the entire Aleutian Islands, and even fight eastward to Alaska!

"Nimitz, your analysis is very correct." Roosevelt nodded. "So, what are you going to do next?"

"Concentrate all our main forces, including three aircraft carriers, to fight a decisive battle with the island Navy in the Aleutian Islands and kill the island Navy in one fell swoop!" Nimitz said.

The three attack aircraft carriers are already the largest that the United States can dispatch.

In the battle of Pearl Harbor, the United States lost two aircraft carriers. In the battle of Coral Sea, the York City sank, while the Saratoga was dying. It is still in the shipyard. It is said that the repair has been completed.

Nimitz's plan included this aircraft carrier.

The other two, one is the Bumblebee and the other is the wasp, both of which are the latest in service.

The construction of aircraft carriers takes time and cannot be achieved overnight. Now the United States has invested all its forces in national defense, and a large number of warships have begun to be built. At least eight aircraft carriers are under construction on the slipway, not including a large number of escort aircraft carriers.

However, none of them has been built. Now these three ships are the limit of the Pacific Fleet and all the assets of the United States. Nimitz wants to get them all out, which is a gambler's gamble.

If we win, we can seriously damage the island fleet and curb the expansion of the island countries in the Pacific. After all, the island countries' industrial capacity is weaker, and their warships have a long construction cycle, which simply can not withstand the consumption of war.

This is certainly good, but once it loses, the United States will be forced to the west coast by the island countries, and the U.S. Navy will no longer be able to operate in the Pacific.

This definitely needs courage!

Nimitz was a man of courage, and Roosevelt was also a man of courage. After receiving Nimitz's report, Roosevelt just thought for a moment and immediately made a decision: "Nimitz, do as you want!"

The United States needs victory and a bold navy to inspire the people of the whole country through victory in the Pacific battlefield!

At the same time, it does not necessarily fail. Although there are not many aircraft carriers, they can mobilize the air force in the past. There are many airports on the Aleutian Islands that can take off and land fighters. With the support of land fighters, their chances of winning are much greater.

They didn't know that they had miscalculated. They wanted to lose a lot and defeat the island fleet. They just didn't think that the battle they planned didn't happen at all. They were fooled!

With Roosevelt's affirmation, under the leadership of Nimitz, the U.S. Pacific Fleet took action again.

At the end of the meeting, the Secretary of state raised the last question: "president, those Nicaraguans are constantly submitting their recruitment reports. They want to join the army and fight in the front."

Nica is a Japanese American in the United States. After the war between the United States and island countries broke out, these immigrants were quite poor and became the object of vent for the American people. The United States moved them to the west coast of the United States for centralized care.

Now, the nices have to show their loyalty!
