Chapter 0858 Pearl Harbor III

In the early morning, the sky lit up.

Jess who works as a code-translator at the Fleet Command has left early, and she needs to buy something at the grocery store near the harbor today.

As she walked from her home to the port, she was lucky to find the grocery store open.

Two chubby Japanese children are playing on the porch, full of energy and enviable.

"What a happy little one. As she thought about walking into the store, Jess suddenly heard a burst of cannon fire over the harbor, just as she had heard during the live-fire drills that began a year later.

The shopkeeper is drinking tea behind the counter, a diminutive Japanese man with jet-black hair, dressed in a floral shirt and beach pants, and the shelves are neatly stocked.

"Something, ma'am... Okay, here we go. Knowing that Jace needed to wipe her skin with alcohol, the shopkeeper smiled and walked into the blue curtain behind her.

The cannon was getting more and more intense, and the planes roared overhead, which sounded too strange.

Jace walked to the door and found a large number of high-flying planes flying in formation towards the harbor in a puff of black smoke from heavy artillery fire.

Feeling more and more uneasy, Jess quickly ran to the car and took out the binoculars.

At first all she could see was a blue sky and a cloud of black smoke, and she said, 'It's a nice weather.' ’

Then three planes came into view, forming a dazzling silver triangle.

On the wing of the plane, a solid 'plaster flag' was painted in a circle, and she was so frightened that she threw away the binoculars in her hand.

"Madam, there are so many planes! It's rare to see such a large-scale act. The shopkeeper who had got the alcohol appeared beside her, grinning and handing her the packaged goods, his smiling eyes narrowing into slits.

His children stood in front of the porch behind him, pointing to the sky and chirping in spiky Japanese.

In the American Navy, almost no one liked the Japanese in Hawaii and liked to guess who among them was a spy.

Jace has been working in the headquarters all the year round, and she is still doing the work of translating code, so she is naturally infected with this emotion.

Right now, right here, the Japanese grinned at her, and over their heads, Japanese planes whizzed by, in the airspace of Hawaii, the United States.

What does this mean?

Ha... It's amazing, these shameless Japanese.

When something like this happens, Jess has a worse impression of the Japanese.

So after taking the things from the shopkeeper's hand, she opened the car door and sat the things back, and got into the car without the shopkeeper reacting.

Bang bang......

The shopkeeper slapped the glass vigorously to signal that she hadn't paid yet.

For the first time, Jace greeted someone in the same way that the sailor greeted, and replied fiercely, "you." ”

If Li Zitao was present, he would definitely hand her over with her left arm to pass under her right arm, and then stand up with her left arm in front of her, and flick a middle finger fiercely.

Pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down, the car sped away, leaving only the stunned diminutive Japanese shopkeeper and his chirping bear kid.

When Jace arrived at the port, she was stunned by what she saw.

Where a battleship was still docked in the morning, it was replaced by a huge orange-red fireball, and the sky was constantly resounding with a 'whooshing' sound.

The big red ball with yellow and black bright smoke exploded with a bang that almost deafened her ears, and the wave of air fell on her face, which was blazing.

A round cloud of black smoke and reddish flames rose into the sky along the faded plume of smoke, followed by another explosion, emitting large expanses of beautiful orange and purple.

The smoke cleared, and the battleship in the fireball finally reappeared, but it was a wrecked ship that had broken in two from the middle.

The sailors on deck waved and shouted frantically, and the water jets sprayed into the burning hull from elsewhere, but they could not suppress the roaring flames.

Machine-gun bullets rained down like a torrential rain, and a figure slammed her to the ground.

Click......

The dust kicked up by the bullets sprinkled on her body, and before Jace could recover from the attack, she was pulled to her feet by a force.

"Find a place to hide, the Japanese are coming. It seemed as if a man was yelling at her, his hands violently pressing her shoulders and shaking them vigorously.

The whistling of warplanes, the explosion of ships and the cries for help from above, the screams of women, and the cries of children were intertwined, making her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

And the people living in Hawaii are still in a 'peaceful' state.

On the radio, the announcer is promoting a new soap in a fiery and exuberant tone, followed by upbeat Hawaiian music.

The old man fell asleep snoring in a rocking chair, completely unaware of the coming war.

......

......

The attack on Pearl Harbor was more than half a year ahead of 'history,' but it just happened.

When the Japanese ambassador arrived in Washington with a belated 'declaration of war' to meet with the secretary of state, he was not as gentlemanly as in the movie.

Grabbing the 'Declaration' in front of him,' the Secretary of State slammed it in the ambassador's face, "Get out of here with your guys, right now, right now." ”

The Japanese ambassador walked away, knowing very well his embarrassing situation.

If he says anything to make the other party think it is a provocation, any excuse can keep him out of Washington.

War is coming!

Roosevelt finished his work and was silent in his office for a long time, then asked the secretary to arrange for a speech to Congress tomorrow.

He had so much to say about this war, and his heart was full of tangles and excitement.

When Roosevelt arrived on Capitol Hill, in front of many members of Congress, he had a thousand words to say: "Yesterday, May 11, 1941... America must remember this day of shame,

The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force, and the United States and Japan lived in peace.

Prior to this long-planned sneak attack, the Japanese side was still holding peace talks with its government and the emperor at the request of the Japanese side, hoping to jointly maintain peace in the Pacific. ”

Looking around, Roosevelt suddenly raised his right fist and put it on the table hard, "Just an hour after the Japanese Air Force had already begun bombing the American island of Oahu,

The Japanese ambassador to the United States also submitted to the Secretary of State an official response to the recent letter from the United States to the Japanese side, and we are still working for peace......"

In fact, without Roosevelt's incitement, at least two-thirds of the members of Congression Hill were in a state of rage, like a brown bear about to go berserk.

This shameless sneak attack filled them with anger when they considered themselves peace-loving and worked hard to maintain world peace.

What's more, they have suffered too much to lose.

At the same time as Hawaii was attacked, Malaya, Gangjiang, Guam, the Philippines, and Wake Island were all attacked by Japanese troops.

In the early morning of this day, Midway, an important US military stronghold, was also attacked by Japanese troops.

"I ask Congress to declare that there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan since Sunday, May 11, 1941, when Japan launched its unprovoked and despicable attack. ”

When Roosevelt finished his last speech in a tough tone, there was thunderous applause on Capitol Hill.
