Chapter 362 The outbreak of war

Factory operations are basically orderly. If you look at the deep-seated reasons, you can also find the rationality of their existence.

com Ma Qian'an quickly realized this principle through the scene where Chinese apprentices learned from Lao Lev. What he saw with his eyes was not necessarily the truth. If the Chinese were not willing to "put on the right position" because of learning technology, Lao Lev's rude and humiliating phenomenon might not have occurred and would have been stopped soon.

After switching to another workshop for producing ammunition, Ma Qian'an was no longer interested in watching it. The impression given to everyone is that it is booming and flourishing, and it is meaningless to switch to it. Ma Qian'an suggested that everyone go back to the factory director's office.

When he returned to the factory director's office, Ma Qian'an did not see Liu Ding. After asking, he found out that Liu Ding was in the telecommunications room and led the way by someone. Ma Qian'an only led Ma Zhanshan and left the rest of the entourage. The two found Liu Ding in the telecommunications room.

There is a compartment in the telecommunications room, where Liu Ding is in it. He looks worried as he looks over and over again as he looks at the telegrams in his hand.

Ma Qian'an asked: "What's wrong?"

When he found that Ma Qian'an came in, Liu Ding rubbed his temples and replied: "It's not good news. I didn't plan to tell you, but it happened that you are back. Since you asked, it would be fine."

Seeing this, Ma Qian'an's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the joy he had just received from visiting the factory disappeared.

Liu Ding gently handed over several telegrams in his hand. Several telegrams were received by different radio stations, some translated into Russian and some translated into Chinese, and differently. However, this was not a problem for Ma Qian'an. Ma Qian'an looked carefully and his face began to become serious.

The message was sent by Chen Jiashen's fleet. This time the materials purchased from the United States were shipped. Chen Jiashen's company in the United States rented three ships, two 8,000 tons and one 6,000 tons, loading aluminum ingots and copper ingots produced by the United States, special trace metals used to make weapons, and some urgently needed machine accessories from the arsenal. In addition, there are about 2,000 tons of canned meat.

Starting from October 1, the United States announced that the Lease Act would be applied to the Lease Act. After a period of operation, the first batch of Lease Act materials set off from a port on the west coast of the United States and headed to Vladivostok in the Far East.

This is a vast fleet of ships, with 15 ships in Shanghai in the 5,000-ton class. The entire fleet has a load of nearly 130,000 tons, full of materials, oil, special raw materials, cars, aircraft and tanks that are urgently needed for the war.

Roosevelt was also worried that Germany would eat Russia, and took advantage of the "humanitarian aid" trend created by domestic consortiums to issue a big order to SL in one breath, the first batch.

To stimulate the day, Roosevelt even adopted the proposal of a member of Congress and escorted the goods, just as they were escorting supplies to Britain on the Atlantic Ocean.

As usual, the Japanese government issued a solemn statement: The escort of the Mid-Navy Navy is a distrust and provocation of the Great Japanese empire. The entry of the Mid-Term ship into the eastern half of the Pacific is another conspiracy that seriously threatens the common prosperity of Greater East Asia. The Japanese government will never sit idly by and watch the development of the situation.

Because the owner of Chen Jiashen's fleet knew that this American fleet had the same destination as him, and also considered that everyone set out from the same port, he organized his ship to the fleet that transported the materials of the "Rent Act" in order to take care of each other.

The fleet passed through Tsuma Strait smoothly and had nothing to do along the way. The Japanese were indifferent to this huge fleet of escort ships and allowed them to continue north with a proud and arrogant attitude.

When we reached the Sea of ​​Japan, 42° north latitude, disaster for the fleet came.

Judging from the telegrams received, the fleet encountered a "prehistoric monster", an unprecedented battleship "Yamato" with thick skin and thick flesh and huge tonnage.

Ma Qian'an is not unfamiliar with the Yamato. The Yamato is indeed one of the world's largest and strongest warships. Its standard displacement is 64,000 tons, full load displacement is 72,800 tons, large caliber main and secondary guns, a speed of 27 knots, thick armor, and strong protection ability. Even if it hits 2 torpedoes or several heavy bombs at the same time, it will not affect the battle. It is known as the world's number one battleship.

Didn’t it mean that this guy would not shoot the main gun for the first time until December? That’s what happened? He also shot a real target? It’s really a fucking #, Ma Qianan, who was one of the targets, was of course very unhappy.

But Ma Qian'an knew that this giant ship was not the same as others. The telegram described: Before the Japanese giant ship appeared, artillery fire had arrived, and the fire was gathered and the sound was shaking the ocean. The place where the bullets were falling was either huge waves, or the people and ships were destroyed. The merchant ship was hit by the bomb smoke and flames surged into the sky, and the detonating ammunition flew across hundreds of meters. The people who fell into the water struggled to ask for their lives and shouted everywhere, which was extremely heart-wrenching and terrifying.

The three American destroyers escorted fled in sight of the wind. During the escape, one of them was hit by a submarine underwater during the flight, and the other two were destroyed by the giant Japanese ships.

The Yamato stopped firing artillery until it reached the Soviet territorial waters. At this time, there were only 6 merchant ships left in the entire merchant fleet. Fortunately, one of Chen Jiashen's fleet escaped and would not have been "destroyed in the entire army."

Oh! There are so many American people and most of the fleet is destroyed. However, Chen Jiashen's supplies have also lost two ships. I bought them with real money. I really feel sorry for me.

Japan# himself finally couldn't help but take action. Ma Qian'an glanced at the calendar card. November 7th! This was a month earlier than the date he knew. The attack location of the United States was not in Pearl Harbor, but in the Sea of ​​Japan.

Since the Japanese Navy has taken action, he will never just attack the merchant ships and make small fuss. Yamamoto Iroku must have a back-up move now. The United States is rushing to the Enterprise aircraft carrier and half of the Pacific fleet, including the four battleships, is in danger, and may have been attacked at this time.

Ma Qian'an held the telegram in his hand and stared at the map on the wall, and his thoughts had already flown far away.

The situation of his hope appeared, the United States was involved in the war, and fortunately the United States stood on China's side. This situation not only happened, but also all countries threatened by the invasion of the Axis powers. Like Ma Qian'an, they have done countless "works" in private, but Ma Qian'an's efforts were revealed through Chen Jiashen's actions. Except for Chen Jiashen, no one knew that Ma Qian'an had systematically analyzed the laws of American political operation and how to fuel the US government.

All our efforts finally prompted the United States to make some "provocative behavior" against Japan, and was attacked by Japan one month in advance.

This is a good thing and a bad thing. Finally, the "justice" power that everyone expected appeared, and its effect on the world's anti-aggression war is self-evident. The disadvantage is: Damn my ship was also sunk two ships, and tens of thousands of tons of materials were sunk to the bottom of the sea. How much money would it cost and what a big impact would it have!

Ma Qian'an covered his cheek and sucked the teeth. His current mentality was completely attracted by his own losses. He ignored the United States and suffered heavy losses. Just as the motto said, ordinary people pay far more attention to a wooden thorn in their hands than a million people who died in Baghdad.

Sure enough, the radio wave density in the telecommunications room was getting stronger and stronger, and more information was received. News from Southeast Asia showed that the half-Pacific Fleet of the United States arrived in the Bashi Channel before it even started the exercise, it was attacked by four aircraft carriers, Akagi, Kaga, Aolong, and Ruizhe, carrying carrier-based aircraft. More than 200 fighters, torpedo bombers, dive bombers and horizontal bombers rushed in turn, and two waves of attacks were divided into two waves.

In addition, the Japanese naval base on Taiwan Island also sent more than 100 horizontal bombers and dive bombers to participate in the operation. The American officers and soldiers who traveled a long distance thought they were just exercising on the Philippines' offshore exercise were not prepared enough, and they were beaten to death. After an hour of large-scale air strike, the US fleet Enterprises "Glorious" sunk. Four American battleships, the USS Arizona, California, West Virginia and Oklahoma, were all destroyed. Three supply ships, one cruiser and 14 destroyers were also mostly sunk. Only three destroyers fled to the Philippine port while the Japanese plane replenished ammunition.

Oh! Now Ma Qian'an no longer feels sorry for his little things, and his attention turns to analyzing the consequences of this incident.

The American army was beaten so badly that the commander of the fleet called for help with a clear code. Yamamoto Iroku was really cruel. It seemed that the plan of a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was leaked in the American newspaper. The old guy gave up the plan and instead started the idea of ​​the US exercise fleet. He really succeeded, completely replicating a "Tsushima Sea Battle", and he deserves to be a fanatical admirer of Hirahachiro Togo.

Until noon, the situation was completely clear. This was a "shameless sneak attack".

The "Major Marshal" of the Philippines could not wait to jump out and represented the Philippine Dominion to be the first to issue a solemn condemnation on the Manila Radio, condemning the Japanese military and predicting that the American people would definitely fight back against Japan until the Japanese emperor was paralyzed and no one could deal with it.

This sentence was later widely cited, and there were many different opinions on various in-depth interpretations, but there was no "correct" explanation.

As soon as such a major incident occurred and the transport ship was attacked, Liu Ding couldn't sit still and had already returned to his office to deal with consultations from all directions. Ma Qian'an was also happy. He stayed in the telecommunications room, guarding the radio and radio and listening happily.

This time, the Japanese Navy annihilated half of the US Pacific Fleet, especially an aircraft carrier. For its strategic purpose, it was a brilliant victory from a short-term and medium-term perspective. Its results should exceed the farthest-range vision of its planners, and such results are also rare. Then in the next six months, the US Navy was a phoenix that was shedding on the Pacific battlefield. Without the threat of the US Pacific Fleet, Japan could completely ignore the powers of other powers in Southeast Asia. Since then, it occupied the entire Southeast Asia and the southwestern Pacific, and its power can be expanded to the Indian Ocean.

After pretending to be a profound "analysis" for a long time, Ma Qian'an said to Ma Zhanshan who had been with him: "Uncle, what do you think about this?"

Ma Zhan’s top of the mountain was annoyed to say something, and he liked to be concise and to the point, and rushed out: “The Japanese think they are dead too slowly! China hasn’t hit it yet, but they are going to kick the American butt again. The Americans are so easy to mess with? The Japanese really think that he is Momotaro.”

Oh! Lao Ma is not a big man, you can tell at a glance that he had stabbed a hornet's nest.
Chapter completed!
