Yamamoto Isoroku has been in the mood lately, and he was awarded the rank of Admiral for commanding the Midway landing and achieving an unprecedented victory.

There were far fewer Japanese marshals than German marshals, so they were all the more precious.

In real history, Yamamoto Isoroku was awarded the title of marshal only after he died in battle.

Now that he is still alive, he has obtained the rank of marshal, which makes him very happy, so he takes the men and horses non-stop and kills the Hawaiian Islands.

Only this time, the only ones left to fight with him were the three aircraft carriers Akagi, Shozuru and Zuizuru......

Poor Kaga and the Wyvern were seriously injured and could not be repaired in a short time, and returned to the battlefield to fight for his Emperor Majesty.

However, Yamamoto Isoroku still made up his mind to seize the Hawaiian Islands and complete the set operational goal of attacking the United States.

So, in the Pacific theater, which seemed to have stopped, for ten days in a row, Japan tried its best to transport soldiers and supplies to Midway.

According to Yamamoto's estimates, the battle for the Hawaiian Islands would require at least 5,000 soldiers to be sufficient.

After all, when attacking Midway head-on, the Japanese lost more than 1,000 soldiers before they barely captured this palm-sized and dilapidated island.

After the Japanese took Midway, they found that there was almost nothing left on this island that was worth their continued use.

3000 American soldiers fought to the last second. They were stuck in the trenches and pillboxes on the island, causing great casualties to the Japanese army.

It was precisely because of the problems summed up in this battle that the Japanese army began to step up the production of amphibious weapons and equipment such as special type 2 internal fireboats.

The front-line troops responded that they needed such weapons and equipment that could cover the landing of the infantry, and the information bought from the Germans also confirmed that the design of installing pontoons in the front and rear of the tank worked.

It's just that the design of the special two-type internal fireboat has been mostly completed, so the Japanese Navy didn't bother to modify its own design, and directly took it out and popularized it.

This new weapon was also transported to Midway Island by Yamamoto Isoroku and prepared to be used in actual combat when attacking the Hawaiian Islands.

Germany's weapons renewal has promoted the speed of the renewal and development of weapons in various countries. For example, the historical M4 Sherman tank, Japan's Type 2 internal fireboat and Type 3 4 tank, the Soviet T-34 and Stalin tanks, all of which are developing faster than in history.

The fighter jets of various countries are also being introduced at a faster pace, so much so that the US military is already considering new naval carrier-based fighters, as well as more powerful battleships.

Midway is still being restored, and the Japanese have no choice but to use this island as an outpost for their attacks.

All facilities on the island have been destroyed, including desalination equipment for seawater, as well as the once-vital airport.

At Midway, most of the fresh water for the soldiers had to be transported from distant places, and the food and clothing of the soldiers depended on domestic supplies.

It was the first time for Japan, which had undergone such a huge logistical examination, also felt unprecedented pressure - Japan's transportation capacity was not strong in the first place, and now it is even more stretched.

The Army, for its part, has been urging the Navy to provide transport ships so that it can enter the Indian Ocean and launch a plan of attack against the British government in exile as soon as possible.

However, for the battle of Hawaii, the navy mobilized the largest number of ships it could find, and it couldn't take care of the transportation and delivery of materials in the direction of India.

For this matter, the senior officers of the Ministry of War have complained countless times at the headquarters meeting, but the navy still does not pay attention.

After all, the competition between the navy and the army has been a matter of affairs within the Japanese military for a long time. If the two forces don't fight, then it's a strange thing.

Even His Majesty the Emperor was accustomed to this kind of-for-tat, so he had to remain neutral and let the navy prioritize the completion of the battle plan against the Hawaiian Islands, and then return to the division to cover the army's attack on India.

On the other hand, the airfield on Midway was not available at all, and after the Japanese captured, there was no difference from the natural topography of the island.

The airport runway, which was finally built, is densely packed with large and small craters, and it is a huge project to fill and repair it.

These days, Japan has been working on repairing the airfield on Midway, because with the range of the Zero fighter, the repair of the Midway airfield is very helpful for the attack on the Hawaiian Islands.

It is a pity that the transportation of fresh water and soldiers, as well as the ammunition for the attack on Midway, made the Japanese naval transport forces depressed, and the transportation of cement and construction tools was not able to meet the demand.

Despite this, the Japanese army still repaired a long runway in 20 days, which can be regarded as the result of the strength of the outnumbered people.

Subsequently, 30 Zero fighters and 30 Dragon Slayer bombers were deployed to Midway Island as an air force to attack the American Hawaiian Islands.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Navy did not seem to intend to hold on to the Hawaiian Islands, they only added some infantry, and did not send their own already vulnerable fleet to trouble the Japanese Navy.

In total, there were only a few destroyers in the Hawaiian military harbor, and a number of torpedo boats were active.

Of course, as for American submarines, it is difficult to judge. Who knows how many US submarines there are near Hawaii? This is not at all an enemy situation that the Japanese Navy can detect.

The Battle for the Hawaiian Islands began in this context, around May 17.

By this time the Pacific Ocean was already very hot, and the Japanese navy fleet was sailing towards Midway, where they planned to make a replenishment and then concentrate their forces on landing in Hawaii.

The U.S. Navy is also actively preparing for war, and it is also preparing for defensive operations in the Hawaiian Islands.

The United States prepared more than 10,000 soldiers for this battle, as well as a large number of new weapons — including 30 tanks and more than 300 Army aircraft.

Regardless of the losses, the navy deployed the Hawaiian Fleet, consisting of 3 cruisers and 10 destroyers, to prepare to take advantage of the torpedoes at night to surprise the Japanese Navy and cause trouble.

With the addition of five submarines, the U.S. military forces deployed near Hawaii are weak, but they are still not to be underestimated.

On the other side of the planet, the Führer's armored division is advancing towards Moscow, and they can already see the spire of the Kremlin inside Moscow through their telescopes.
