Chapter 11 - -A Threat to the Empire-

On this day when the Japanese Navy Landing Force successfully landed in Hawaii, the United States Department of Defense The Pentagon The weather was extremely rough.

The enemy had landed at the most important base on the Pacific front.

This attack was expected, and the situation has remained at a stalemate thanks to the efforts of tank units that had been deployed in advance.

However, Japanese reinforcements were approaching from behind, and it seemed that the fall of Hawaii was near.

But the goddess of victory had not yet abandoned America.

Just now, we received word that the state-of-the-art aircraft carrier Golden Eagle has arrived and completed training.

In terms of morale, training, and equipment, they are comparable to, and perhaps even superior to, Japan's most advanced aircraft carriers, the Musashi and Shinano.

The President immediately ordered the 15th Fleet, led by the Golden Eagle, to launch an attack to destroy the enemy with every force.

A fleet of 20 ships headed straight for Hawaii to rescue their allies there.

-Hawaii-

The U.S. military gave up on intercepting the enemy on the beaches and turned to urban fighting.

Since residents had begun evacuating before the landings, they were able to fire without any worries.

The U.S. military placed machine guns and cannons in every house and mercilessly attacked the Marines.

But the attacks were expected to end within a few weeks.

Currently, the Imperial Navy holds control of both the sea and air in this area.

Patrol planes flew around the clock, keeping a close eye on not a single fishing boat.

The incident occurred five days after the landing.

A patrol plane discovered the large fleet at night.

As they got closer and took a closer look, they saw a large fleet, flagshiped by a supercarrier, advancing towards Hawaii.

The pilot of the patrol plane immediately sent a radio message to the flagship, Musashi.

"We have spotted over 20 enemy surface vessels. The enemy has a super-large aircraft carrier, with numerous aircraft on board, estimated at over 100."

However, just as this news reached Musashi, a patrol plane was spotted on the enemy fleet's radar.

An interceptor fighter will soon be launched from the Golden Eagle.

Moreover, the fighter plane was not the familiar F4U Corsair.

Overall, it was a sturdy aircraft, and its speed was comparable to that of the Zero fighter.

And the patrol plane finally

"We have confirmed the takeoff of a fighter plane from the enemy aircraft carrier. It is heading towards us. The enemy plane appears to be a new model, with performance comparable to that of the Zero fighter. Thank you everyone. Glory to the Imperial Nation."

He left a radio message saying this and never returned.

Shortly afterwards, one cruiser and numerous transport ships detached from the enemy fleet and delivered military supplies to Hawaii.

The carrier task force led by Musashi quickly sent reconnaissance planes to determine the enemy's exact location, and at the same time the US military also discovered Musashi's task force, and both fleets launched attack forces simultaneously.
