Considering all kinds of problems, Roosevelt had always been hesitant in his attitude towards Nicaea and could not kill them. After all, they were also American citizens and could not let them go. Maybe there were Island intelligence personnel among them. Therefore, Roosevelt also had a headache.

These nicenes are also eager to show their innocence. Although they are Japanese, they have long joined the United States and become American citizens. They have nothing to do with the island country. Of course, the best way to prove their innocence is to show their loyalty on the battlefield!

So they no longer look forward to going to the battlefield all the time and go all out to find the island army!

Roosevelt had laughed off their request and was most worried about their loyalty. What if he ran to war with the islanders and became an insider of the islanders?

Now, there is a good way.

The Soviets can't stand it. The Soviets lack everything. Don't they want to show their loyalty? Why don't you just send these nicenes to the Soviet Union and let them defend Moscow?

Roosevelt smiled when he thought of this. He hadn't smiled for a long time. He admired his intelligence and solved two problems at once.

"Organize the nicenes into an army and send them to the Soviet Union." Roosevelt rekindled a cigarette and said, "if they want to show loyalty, they should show up on the Soviet German battlefield and kill the Germans severely!"

Roosevelt's words decided the fate of the nicenes. By this time, Nimitz had begun to prepare for his battle.

Pearl Harbor.

Signs of bombing can be seen around. There is a bomb standing there on the flat ground in the distance, which has not been taken away, and all kinds of operations are still carried out in an orderly manner on the port.

At the beginning, the island country only carried out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, which is already the limit of the island country's navy. If the island people occupied here at the beginning, the outcome would be completely different.

On one side of the port is the shipyard, which is the base of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. It has the ability to overhaul ships.

At this time, the Saratoga was carrying out final maintenance work on the slipway.

It was a miracle that Saratoga didn't sink at the moment when it was besieged by the island's carrier aircraft in the coral sea with York City. Later, it struggled to return to Hawaii, got on the slipway and never came down again.

Her flight deck has been repaved and new steel support frames have been installed inside. The workload is similar to rebuilding an aircraft carrier, and now, at least on the surface, it has regained its former glory.

Now, rear admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, standing on the side of the slipway, shouted, "come on, finish the work quickly and launch the aircraft carrier."

Hearing his words, the personnel of the shipyard were surprised: "no, they haven't finished all kinds of work. They can't go into the water until at least two days later."

"There is not so much time. We must go into the water immediately and be ready to re-enter the naval task force!"

"This is against naval regulations." The person in charge of the shipyard also rushed over: "after the repair is completed, a series of sea trials will be carried out. If there is no problem, we will sign the list and be in service."

"Naval regulations have been changed." Major general Fletcher said, "now it can be launched."

The Navy needs to go out immediately and can't wait any longer. Some details of the aircraft carrier have not been repaired. It can be repaired by the crew during the voyage. As long as the deck is intact and the power is normal, the ship can go out and enter service.

They have no time.

In order to mobilize the aircraft carrier, Admiral Nimitz simply revised the naval regulations directly, and the procedures were normal.

Looking at the displayed regulations, the person in charge of the shipyard did not object: "finish it immediately and get ready to launch!"

Generally speaking, when a warship is newly built, repaired or launched, there must be a ceremony. Now, everything is simplified. Major general Fletcher found a bottle of champagne and smashed it on the bow. Then the aircraft carrier launched again.

Solve those small problems while sailing!

The navy is being mobilized in a hurry. The Saratoga, which has not completed its repair, and the latest Hornet and hornet.

Among them, the wasp is a small aircraft carrier.

This aircraft carrier is the only one of the wasp class. Its emergence is a product of the Washington Naval Treaty. If Roosevelt did not come to power, it would almost miscarry.

It was ordered on September 15, 1935, started construction at Huo River Shipyard in the United States on April 1, 1936, launched on April 4, 1939, and served at Boston army Quartermaster base on April 25, 1940. It can be seen that it takes about five years for an aircraft carrier to be built normally.

This aircraft carrier is only 10000 tons. There are many unreasonable aspects in its design, so it didn't directly join the fleet at the beginning and almost became a training aircraft carrier. Now, seeing the great loss of naval strength, Nimitz searched his family and immediately used this aircraft carrier.

In addition to these three aircraft carriers, Nimitz did not hesitate to take risks to mobilize two escort aircraft carriers. The whole formation has more than 50 warships and more than 400 carrier based aircraft. In addition, there are more than 300 fighter planes and bombers on the ground. Nimitz's confidence is ten feet.

Even if their fleets suffered heavy losses, they can still recover within a year, but the island country is different. Unless Germany sells them to attack aircraft carriers, it is impossible for the island country's weak industry to build another ship team in a short time.

The whole formation is mighty, wandering in the Pacific Ocean, ready to ambush the island Navy in the Aleutian Islands.

At the same time, in Tokyo Bay, the mighty Island Navy also began to dispatch again.

For this operation, the island's Navy did not send out in full force. Only four aircraft carriers, Canglong, Feilong, Chicheng and Jiahe, and two aircraft carriers participating in the coral sea battle did not send out. Among them, Ruihe was waiting for a batch of new carrier based aircraft at its base in Truk; The Xianghe was repaired at the base.

Four attack aircraft carriers are already invincible in the Pacific. How many Americans can have?

So they don't care.

In addition to these four attack aircraft carriers, they also have two escort aircraft carriers. With them, the attack power is absolutely strong enough.

Behind them were the latest twenty tank landing ships.

If the islanders were allowed to build it themselves, I'm afraid it would take a year to catch up with the operation. Now, Germany easily handed over the 20 ships to the islanders, and the islanders immediately felt full of confidence.

When they landed on Midway Island, they couldn't even use so many landing ships, so several ships were loaded with supplies. After directly seizing the beach, the supplies were much more convenient than cargo ships.

This time, Shanji 56 led the fleet to set out in person.
