2. Punctuality is not always good

"What's wrong?"

Truman's face was full of grievances: "Mr. Roosevelt wants me to temporarily give up running for state legislature in Missourigan because he seems to value Lloyd. Stark... ”

"I see, Harry." Charlie invited him to sit down and asked, "So is it too late?" ”

"I'm already working hard in time, and I have a good chance of victory, but I would like to trouble you to convince His Excellency President Franklin to be considerate of my desire for reason."

"Harry, you misunderstood him, in fact, he is very optimistic about you, in his heart you are his successor, this is something you don't know."

Truman...

"Maybe he has some arrangements or considerations for you, so there is such a misunderstanding, but I can also understand your grievances. After all, the strong like to master their own path. Well, nonsense aside, I promise you, I will convince him, but I have one condition. ”

"Say, Your Excellency, if I can do it."

"Support him, remove the mustard in your heart, and look at his behavior with your heart instead of judging at the surface." Charlie said.

That's all he asks.

But this is tantamount to not demanding, because he does not have any demands on himself.

Truman couldn't help but be deeply moved.

The next day, he received a telegram from Washington, and a special plane from Wakanda sent him to Washington.

Franklin took out a copy of his decision after consulting with Charlie in an office where no one was around.

He said, "Harry, I'm going to explain to you that I asked you to give up the state legislature because I wanted to bring you in as soon as possible and then run with me in '44, and the opportunity I left you was vice president." ”

Truman!!!

"I want you to help me complete the big thing of universal health care, I don't have enough energy, and you can be trusted."

Truman's face was full of shame: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I... I thought ... ”

"I don't mean to blame you, the position of the senator is also important, I ignored your feelings because I was too busy and forgot to communicate with you." Franklin got up and hugged him: "Go, then leave office early and fight side by side with me in '44, and let's build a beautiful and powerful kingdom together." Our good days are coming. ”

When Truman, who returned to Missourigan, took office on April 18, he looked back on his two weeks of travel and was filled with emotion.

On this day.

The command of the Japanese Navy, which evacuated the command post to Rabaul in northern Guinea, made its own operation to begin the evacuation as well.

After the Midway under the command of Isoroku Yamamoto, and the failure of the South Pacific Campaign, he can only be regarded as a mascot of the Navy at the moment, and the purpose of staying here is only to boost morale.

But now? The troops are running out? To whom does he boost morale?

So on April 15, the personnel of his base camp decided to evacuate and completely abandon the whole of Guinea.

But Yamamoto was ready to pretend to be forced again before leaving.

He's going to patrol the troops behind the break? Encourage them to show the last courage and the enemy jade shattered.

For this? Yamamoto also personally mapped out the route of the inspection: he departed from Rabaul at 6 a.m. on April 18 and flew for about 1.5 hours? Arriving on Bougainville Island and then flying another 15 minutes or so? Arriving in Bouin? Then fly for about 5 minutes to reach Shortland Island.

Naturally, the staff officers vigorously opposed this pointless and blind impulsive inspection plan, because these bases were very dangerous? Like what? Shortland is very close to Kuah Island, and the two islands are separated by only one Barral Island.

And Balar Island is the size of an airfield, and the US military aviation units stationed on Kuah Island can fly over to carry out attacks in the blink of an eye.

Helplessly, Yamamoto was stubborn.

At this point, he only has superficial prestige to speak of, and he doesn't pretend anymore? He said it very truthfully: "I'm all like this, I can't walk away in disgrace!" ”

Everyone was speechless.

Now that everyone is convinced? Yamamoto ordered his adjutant Watanabe to inform the troops who were about to inspect the trip.

Watanabe plans to send someone to send the information, and it is very safe.

But the officer in charge of communications thinks it's faster? Because their telegram room has just enabled a complex new password.

Watanabe agreed.

The message was soon sent to the commander on Shortland Island, Takaji Shiroshima.

Joshima was shocked and blurted out: "To the whereabouts of the chief? With such a long message? Shoot it out in such detail? It's not a fool whatever!"

He hurried to Rabaul to stop Yamamoto.

But Yamamoto had to go.

He also told Joshima to go back to Shortland Island and wait for dinner with him the next day.

Jojima sighed and walked away, thinking that the US-Wa coalition might have intercepted the message and deciphered it.

As he expected, Wakanda, who had a computer, deciphered the message in just one hour, and in addition to Rogers learning about it for the first time, the translation soon appeared in the hands of Commander Nimitz and Deputy Commander Eisenhower of the Pacific Fleet.

The telegram made Nimitz, who had recently been in Peizi, hesitate.

Because there is an unwritten practice in the West that you should not assassinate the monarch or commander of an enemy country.

There are many factors involved in this, such as politics and diplomacy.

In addition, Nimitz was worried that after Yamamoto's death, there would be better generals to replace him.

Xiao Ergouzi immediately despised him and said, what about you, Yamamoto is going to the front line, and on the front line, the commander is the same as the soldiers, and they are "legitimate" targets.

Also, I'm here, are there any better generals in the Japanese who can fight me?

Nimitz was speechless.

He had to ask President Roosevelt again, after all, not everyone was as free as the little two dogs.

But before he could reply to Washington, Rogers had already informed him: "Please do not move, in order to create the illusion of ignorance, and our troops will reach the range of the attack, and then greet them." ”

After taking care of the telegraph operator to send this telegram, Rogers also went to Eisenhower, the commander of the new North Pacific Fleet, and said, "Nimitz has a hole in his brain, so he only deserves to live with MacArthur." ”

Eisenhower laughed.

And because Yamamoto has always strictly adhered to the time, Rogers also feels that Yamamoto's "advantage" should fulfill his idea.

Therefore, the combat plan of the US-Wavan coalition army was determined, and the troops would be divided into two attack groups, one group was the attack group, which was personally responsible for Rogers, with a total of 6 people and 5 aircraft; The other group was the cover group, which was headed by Captain Bockman, a U.S. military officer who had a good personal relationship with Rogers, with a total of 12 men and 8 aircraft.

Their friendship stems from mushroom cold and wine.

In the middle of the night on April 17, 1943, the aircraft carrier arrived at the designated sea area.

In the early morning of the 18th, two fighters took off in formation.

According to the plan, they will meet Yamamoto over the rainforest of Bougainville!!
