Chapter 584: Nimitz

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
There was a lot of fighting in the Pacific Ocean, but North Africa suddenly turned peaceful. Patton's troops stopped halfway, and it seemed that Tobrook's war was so overwhelming. He waited here for a whole day before he started to move slowly, but instead of hurrying, he was advancing at a normal speed.
According to his current speed of advancement, he may not be able to reach the war zone in 20 days, and Montgomery seems to have forgotten this force, and he does not urge Button to move forward. In fact, Montgomery has also decided to give up Tobruk because he really has no power to interfere in the actions of the North African American Volunteers.
It is very easy to abandon friendly forces or take friendly forces to die. Once you feel that I would like everyone to say nothing, it is very easy to implement. However, if one side is unwilling to go up to death, then it will embarrass everyone after it is clear, and everyone will choose to forget this unpleasant experience and continue to cooperate later.
To be honest, Montgomery's command level is indeed not as good as that of Barton. The gap between the two is in character and talent, which cannot be made up from the acquired learning and experience. Montgomery is very old-fashioned and more popular with politicians. This general reassured the British royal family because he never made dangerous choices.
Barton is just the opposite. This American general has been brave and fierce all his life. He is impulsive and irritable, but he is familiar with the armored combat mode and is a not honest general. He often finds various troubles for his boss, but he can save the war and win the war at a critical moment.
For the grassroots soldiers, it is a blessing to have a commander like Patton, because following such generals they will survive the fierce war, and even become the main force, elite, and trump card for future generations. Under the leadership of this commander, they will be able to gain a lot of fighting power, and even their pensions will be paid more than their counterparts.
But for high-level decision-makers, they prefer commanders like Montgomery and Bradley. Such commanders are careful and rarely make mistakes. Their clumsy command has made them miss the beautiful classic battle all their lives. My favorite thing is to gather 200,000 people to attack the enemy's 3,000-man highland. Unfortunately, for rulers and policy makers, they would rather have a sparrow held in their hands than a eagle soaring in the sky.
So in another time and space, the busy Montgomery became the God of War admired by the British, and the Patton who led the US army all the way with a cigar and died in a car accident. I do n’t know if Patton saw Yue Fei after his death, would the two people drink together? It ’s a feeling that the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign rulers are all the same.
Barton started to send troops on the way, and this incident finally reached the office of US President Roosevelt. The British diplomatic urged to punish Barton, making Barton responsible for the loss of Tobrook and the deterioration of the entire North African war situation.
Roosevelt was certainly not an idiot, he just smiled, and then he no longer ignored the surging British envoys, so the atmosphere became more embarrassing, and the punishment of Patton had to be logical. One very simple thing: Britain relies on American aid to steal a living, and now American talent is the boss, and it is not the turn of the British to bludgeon.
In the end, Roosevelt said lightly: "Mr. Special Envoy, General Patton is responsible for tens of thousands of American soldiers in North Africa. I do n’t think there is anything wrong with his decision. I ’ll take care of the aid plan next month. Adding some supplies, the bottom line of the US military in North Africa is Cairo instead of Tobruk. "
There is a lot of meaning in a paragraph: First, General Barton ’s decision is no problem; Second, I support his decision; Third, you British still have to rely on our supplies; Fourth, it is important to guard Egypt Thing, if Tobrook is lost, just lose it.
The British envoy touched his nose in Roosevelt's office and had to go back to Canada with this result. This thing really ended up in the end. The King of England decided to let the wise Montgomery shut up and forget these unpleasant things, obviously Montgomery did follow the order and forgot Tobrook.
This decision is so wise, because it is far easier to shut Montgomery than to shut Button. This is why Montgomery was a marshal in the end, and Barton was only a Samsung general until his death. Facts have proved that sometimes a stubborn and stubborn personality affects income positions and even lives. If you don't believe it, continue to refer to Yue Fei and Patton.
However, it turns out that it is not just Akado that has a tolerant capacity, giving Rommel trust and room to play. Roosevelt also supported Barton, and his generals supported the victory of the United States.
Another piece of bad news for Japan appeared at the end of June 1938, and the cause of the bad news turned out to be great good news. Of course, at this time, the whole country of Japan was celebrating, and only Akado who got the information almost sipped on Anna's face.
Intelligence shows that Japan has finally made a different step. The Japanese combined fleet appeared on Wake Island and launched a Wake Island naval battle with the remaining main force of the US Navy Pacific Fleet. Both sides dispatched carrier-based aircraft to attack the opposing fleet over long distances. As a result, this massive naval battle ended with the Japanese Navy's victory.
This unprecedented scale of naval warfare caused the United States to lose three battleships that had just been repaired, and then boarded the only aircraft carrier. The entire US Pacific Fleet was almost completely annihilated. Japanese soldiers successfully landed on Wake Island. The American defenders surrendered and captured more than 1,700 people.
Such an unprecedented victory, even Japan's Yamamoto 56 did not expect. He thought that the US Navy would retreat to Midway Island or Hawaii, but he didn't expect to lose the rest of the Pacific Fleet on the small Wake Island. Now the US military has nothing to stop the Japanese attack. With the existence of the Japanese joint fleet, then Hawaii and Australia are already in the pockets of the Japanese army.
So in the content of this great news, where does the bad news come from? With the document in his hand, Akado knew that the good days of the Japanese Navy were almost over. The reason is nothing else, precisely because the US Navy lost too much this time.
In this battle, several senior generals of the US Navy were almost dead and wounded, and the rest were still used to blame. As a result, a huge US Navy could not find a decent commander to command a great loss of strength. Pacific Fleet. In countless times, the Americans chose a not-so-known young general, Admiral Nimitz, who was only 51 years old.
It should be known that the age of 50 is not young in the command ranks of the German army. After all, Head of State Akado himself has become a senior general of the National Defense Force with a record of 26 years old. His famous generals Gudrian, Rommel and Manstein were all around 50 years old, and the German commanders became the youngest and most dynamic general team in the world.
The U.S. Navy was originally about qualifications, but it ’s still very young to talk about seniority. Nimitz is not very high. However, the Battle of Wake Island lost almost all of the older generation of US Navy generals, which created a perfect opportunity for the young Nimitz.
Akado knew that Nimitz was the commander-in-chief of the US Navy ’s victory over the Midway Islands naval battle, and was also the main navy general who later counterattacked the Japanese naval battle in the Wright Bay, but if you want to know the real horror of this Nimitz, A glance at the person's resume will make it clear.
After graduating from the military academy, Nimitz served as the captain of the gunboat, then was promoted to commander of the destroyer, and later went to Germany to study engineering technology, and then served as the captain of the tanker, followed by the submarine force, and then started from scratch. Destroyer commander got up. After the end of the First World War, he was instructed to participate in the construction of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, and then went to school for further study, served as a naval instructor, then served as the commander of the submarine fleet, the captain of the destroyer, and the captain of the heavy cruiser. Because the Pearl Harbor incident was promoted to commander of the squadron to command battleships.
At a glance, everyone understands why he became a famous general of the US Navy. This guy has done everything from gunboats to battleships, from engineering technology to logistics supplies. He has been an instructor and an assistant, so he can properly handle interpersonal relationships; he has commanded and managed technology, and he can naturally understand the various links of a fleet. I still remember that Akado deliberately let Gudrian go to the logistics forces to squat. How many years? Comparing the proficient position of Goodrian in the armored forces, you can guess what Nimitz knows about the US Navy.
So this news of Nimitz's role as the US Pacific Fleet, Akado certainly knows that for Japan, the bad news is coming. However, the Japanese Navy and even the base camp do not have this kind of consciousness. They are celebrating the heroic achievements of annihilating the US Pacific Fleet.
In various shrines, monks picked up streamers to sing the achievements of frontline soldiers. The emperor of Japan even attended the celebration ceremony in the palace. The commander of the Japanese Navy ’s Joint Fleet, Yamamoto 56, had not yet returned to the homeland, but received a congratulatory letter of promotion. He became another Marshal of the Japanese Navy after Higashi Higashio.
The Japanese Navy won a huge victory off the coast of Wake Island. The Army also captured several islands in succession in the Philippines and Malaysia, and it was getting closer and closer to Australia. For the Japanese Army, whether it can overwhelm the Navy in the limelight depends on the battle for Australia. In order to prepare for the battle in Australia, Japan expanded its army by 500,000, and the Ministry of the Army ordered: "Male men over 18 and under 40, all need to fight for the country and must not be postponed."
Update late, I'm really sorry
