"Gentlemen, the Japanese are now attacking our city."
President Ross sent the telegram.
"But the conscription has only just begun, and many people have not yet learned how to use weapons and cannot fight."
The chief of staff said helplessly.
"We can deploy the National Guard of each state to support it. In addition, we can strengthen the armor force to the National Guard and use the advantage of equipment to eliminate the advantage of experience." Patton thought for a while and said.
"However, now the Japanese have the advantage in equipment, and their battleships are parked along our coast."
said a general.
"Then deploy the troops outside of their naval guns, anyway, it's only a few tens of kilometers away." Barton said indifferently.
"Mr. Barton, do you know what that means? It means giving up all the coastal cities on the west coast."
"So what, our goal is to defeat the enemy. We don't have maritime superiority now, so we have to bring the Japanese army inland and then wipe them out. The coastal cities can only be taken back when our navy is strong enough."
Barton tapped his pipe.
"Besides, this is the reconstruction of dozens of cities. Do you know how many jobs it will bring? How much profit will it generate?"
"this… "
"Well, gentlemen, if there is no better opinion, follow Mr. Button's opinion."
President Ross hammered out Patton's approach.
He has worked in the industry and knows how much profit such a large infrastructure project can bring. If it can be realized, it will be enough for the construction industry to last for more than ten years.
Also, it would get him higher approval ratings, at least during wartime, he has been president.
The plan of the Americans was quickly finalized.
The National Guard was organized in each state, and a large number of tanks were sent out.
So rich that almost every platoon is equipped with a tank.
These armies were consolidated and marched along the road to the west coast.
At the same time, President Ross delivered a televised address in person.
The public was informed of the attack on the West Coast city.
The already agitated people became more and more dissatisfied, and more and more people took to the streets to protest the atrocities committed by Japan.
A large number of young people entered the barracks.
There are quite a few people, holding guns and driving pickup trucks, rushing towards the west, clamoring to show the Japanese a good look.
The road to the west was jammed with vehicles.
It's like the westward movement a hundred years ago.
Only, the carriage has become a car.
After the Japanese invaded San Francisco, they were fascinated by the bustling city.
Most of the ordinary soldiers are farmers or ordinary citizens, and all they can see is the point around them. They have never seen such a wealthy city in the United States.
He was immediately attracted by the bustling shops on both sides of the street.
Even forgetting that this is fighting.
Many people even rushed into the jewelry shops on both sides of the street, putting the jewelry they could see into their pockets.
Some rushed into the nearby shop, sat at the counter and ate the sweet cake.
This reduces the efficiency of the attack.
The superior commander knew the actual situation below, but he had no power to stop it.
If you want the soldiers below to work hard, you need to relax the control appropriately.
What's more, they couldn't help themselves.
The Japanese army's military pay was very low. Ordinary soldiers only had a few dollars, and officers only had a few dozen dollars, which was not enough to do anything. If you want to make a fortune, you can only make extra money.
Officers then joined in the heist.
Others on the warship could only watch with greedy eyes, but couldn't join in.
"Chief Yamamoto, do you want to give an order?"
asked an adjutant.
"Forget it, give them a day, and after a day, go to the next goal."
Yamamoto was also a little helpless.
If you don't let go of the subordinates, this kind of officer will not be liked, and will even be blacked out.
Then, the huge combined fleet spent a day outside the port of San Francisco.
Then pull anchor and set sail for the next port.
The United Fleet stopped and went, which gave the US Army time to breathe.
The large troops moved to a zone fifty kilometers from the coast and built fortifications.
The United Fleet is not idle either, and the aircraft carrier will send out reconnaissance planes to check the surrounding situation every day.
The actions of the US Army were quickly discovered by them.
"Baga, these Americans are really cunning, they actually hide out of the range of the naval guns. What cowards."
"It doesn't matter, the pilots will take action."
Nagumo sent flying soldiers.
Then, as soon as they flew over the heads of the Americans, they saw a dark cloud floating in the distance.
When the cloud approached, they realized that it was actually a huge fleet of aircraft, with a visual estimate of thousands of aircraft.
Seeing so many planes, the aviation soldier said that he was not afraid, it was a lie.
However, in the spirit of the samurai sword, they had to bite the bullet and rushed forward.
Most of these aircraft groups are volunteers of the aviation club, they have not received professional air combat training, and they belong to the rookies among the rookies.
But they have one advantage, that is, there are enough of them.
When all of them fired together, it was a terrifying barrage. No matter how skilled the flying skills were, they couldn't dodge the damage caused by the metal storm.
Although these are elite pilots of the Japanese army, each of whom is experienced in many battles, they are still powerless in the face of a large number of aircraft.
A frame fell down.
After nearly half of the damage, the remaining pilots felt unable to support themselves and retreated in the name of running out of fuel.
Although the flying brigade who came to help the battle also suffered heavy losses, they were still very happy. After all, they were the first army to defeat the Japanese.
What awaits them is a three-day vacation, unlimited beer and ice cream, and hot blondes.
Looking at the half-damaged pilot, Nan Yun's heart was bleeding.
Those were all the elites he had painstakingly cultivated. He only lost a dozen of them in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Unexpectedly, it was nearly half of them here.
"This is the elite of the navy. It cannot be lost here. It is the army's business to attack the ground. We cannot expect the navy to help the army solve its troubles."
Nanyun made up his mind, and then sent a telegram to the army, only saying that he had discovered the main force of the Mi army, but did not say the other party's configuration.
After seeing the telegram, Lieutenant General Kinoshita, the head of the division, was ecstatic.
"Hahaha, I finally found the main force of the Mi army. The whole team must gather and target the main force of the Mi army. We must complete their efforts in one battle and wipe out the main force of the Mi army!"
He had already communicated with Yamashita, and learned that the Mi army was weak and would surrender with just a little attack.
For such an enemy, Kinoshita, the head of the division, didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this was the military merit sent to his door.
The soldiers below also had high fighting spirit because of the indulgence of the past two days, clamoring to show Mi Jun a little color, and then lined up neatly and rushed towards the Mi Jun's defense line.
