On December 7, 1941, the morning dawn ushered in the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The sky was clear and cloudy, which made the U.S. Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor feel relaxed and happy.
"Sean, what's that in your hand? Isn't it a camera?"
Two burly U.S. sailors came out of the tavern outside Wheeler Airport. One of them, a young man named Sean, was very attentive to playing with the black box. He said, "Yes, it is a camera used for filming movies. My uncle in Washington specially made it."
The latest styles sent to me are the clearest in the world."
As he spoke, Sean narrowed his eyes and pointed the camera lens at the sky.
Sean's partner asked "Do you want to be a movie director in the future?"
"Yes, I like Chaplin very much. I have always wanted to be a famous director and actor like him. After I am discharged from the army, I will try my luck in the film industry." Sean said with high spirits, the camera moved in his hand, and the lens
Freezing the floating clouds in the sky into the film. Suddenly, many small black dots appeared in the camera lens, looming in the clouds like ghosts. Sean stared at those black dots in surprise, what were they?
As the little black dot got closer and closer, the blurry picture became clearer and clearer, and the flag with the red sun on the white background was flying in the air. Sean's pupils suddenly shrank, his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but take a breath of air, the little black dot
The dots turned out to be Japanese bombers, swarming down from the clouds like wasps.
"Enemy attack!"
Sean screamed, but his voice was drowned out as an 800-kilogram aerial bomb hit the strategic area of Wheeler Field.

The time difference between the United States and Hawaii is three hours.
"Ding bell, ding bell" a phone call disturbed Roosevelt at work. The American president was not annoyed that the other party interrupted his work. He picked up the phone and asked calmly, "Hey, who's there?"
"Mr. President, this is Frank." On the other end of the phone was Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. His voice was full of urgency and panic. He said a shocking news: "Husband Kimmel"
Sir, you just sent a telegram. At 7 o'clock in the morning, Japan launched a sneak attack on our naval base in Pearl Harbor."
"Oh my God! My God! How did they do it?" Roosevelt couldn't believe his ears. Japan was so far away from the Hawaiian Islands. How on earth did they avoid American patrol ships and radar surveillance and enter Pearl Harbor?
?Roosevelt immediately asked his secretary to notify various departments to convene an emergency meeting.
Since the German Air Force pierced the silent night sky of Poland in 1939 and invaded Poland like lightning, the largest, most brutal and darkest World War II in human history has begun.
The Axis Powers, headed by Germany, Italy, and Japan, began to fight around the world. Germany conquered one country after another with its powerful military power. It seemed that only the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union were left on the European battlefield to barely compete with it. The prospects were worrying. The future was far away.
On the other side of the ocean, the United States was suppressed by members of Congress and did not directly participate in the war. It only became a non-combatant ally and was responsible for providing warships and other weapons to Britain.
However, this time Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor ignited the anger of the United States. All members of Congress unanimously announced that the United States would declare war on Germany, Italy and Japan and officially join the war.
As a result, the Pacific War broke out in full force three days after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
…………
On January 1, 1942, Roosevelt invited representatives from 26 countries including the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Australia to gather in Washington, USA, and sign the draft "United Nations Declaration" that was finally revised and named by him, marking an important step for the Anti-Fascist Alliance.
step.
Journalists from all over the world were present to watch the formation of the anti-fascist united front. Roosevelt's speech at the scene was exciting. All reporters reported the event with excitement, injecting a glimmer of hope into the desperate people during the war.
After the meeting ended and all reporters left, Roosevelt suddenly stopped the representatives of 26 countries who were about to leave, claiming that he had a confidential file for everyone to see. The representatives of various countries were confused and the battle on the front line was fierce. They could not waste a moment here.
Minutes and seconds.
The British representative here was Churchill. He had fought with Roosevelt many times, so he asked, "Your Excellency, the situation on the front line is not good. We must rush back as soon as possible. Is there anything you can show us that is more important than the war?"
?”
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, this confidential file is very important." Roosevelt was sitting in a wheelchair, his face extremely ugly. He was not at all as high-spirited as when he signed the "United Nations Declaration", but he spoke calmly and firmly, and could not be rejected by others.
When Roosevelt took his family on vacation on Campobello Island in 1921, he jumped into the cold sea water after putting out a forest fire. As a result, he contracted polio, which made his lower limbs almost paralyzed and he could only sit down.
He is in a wheelchair, so the world calls him the "giant in a wheelchair".
Now, this "giant in a wheelchair" who was calm about everything changed his expression. Apparently something big had happened. Everyone returned to their seats and waited for Roosevelt's speech.
Roosevelt arranged for someone to bring out a projector, and he told everyone, "This is very unfortunate news, [they] are back!" After speaking, Roosevelt turned off the lights in the conference room, and everything was dark except for the projector.
A beam of light lit up the room.
them?
Representatives from 26 countries began to whisper, not sure who Roosevelt was referring to. Just as several representatives were about to speak and ask, they saw an air-dropped bomb bombing a building that looked like an airport, and the sky was filled with flames.
Lights up the entire screen.
"It's Wheeler Airport." Some sharp-eyed people recognized the airport, and everyone realized that what Roosevelt showed them was precious information about the Pearl Harbor incident.
The successful sneak attack on Pearl Harbor has to be said to be a miracle for Japan, but countries around the world don't understand why Japan took such stupid military actions.
First of all, Japan's war in Asia has not yet ended, and it is still engaged in a fierce tug-of-war with the U.S. National Army. Under such circumstances, Japan not only does not concentrate its forces on the Asian battlefield, but instead divides its forces into two groups and stretches the front line to the Pacific Ocean, directly allowing the United States to
Participate in the war.
Could it be said that Japan has the confidence to take care of both wars at the same time and guarantee victory on both sides?
The picture was jerking left and right, and the person in the picture was clearly running as hard as he could.
The buildings around Wheeler Airport collapsed under the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese bombers, and many American soldiers who had no time to escape died in the explosion.
At the same time, the sky was swept across the airport in a straight line, and the American soldiers fleeing along the way died in fear and despair. The screen suddenly rolled a few times, and then continued to move forward. Apparently the person filming had just escaped a round of airport fire.
The world in the picture is like hell, and everyone's faces are distorted with fear.
The photographer and his companions robbed a Jeep military vehicle. They were lucky to avoid attacks along the way. Not long after, the camera arrived at Pearl Harbor, a U.S. naval base in the shape of a bird's foot on the island of Oahu, where hundreds of large ships were docked.
Warships large and small.
In the picture, the U.S. warships had already launched a counterattack in the sky, but the Japanese bombers came too suddenly, and the U.S. soldiers had not yet fully entered combat mode.
I saw a Japanese mini-submarine firing five aerial fish missiles and hitting the USS Oklahoma. The ship exploded in an instant. The sailors who had no time to escape were trapped in the ship and sank into the sea. They were drowned alive.
The USS Nevada fought back and shot down two Japanese bombers. However, almost at the same time, Japan dropped four 800-kilogram armor-piercing bombs to bomb the USS Arizona. The black powder magazine on the battleship was detonated, killing a thousand people on the ship.
Many people died in the explosion before they had time to escape.
Countless warship fragments were floating on the sea, and countless sailors were struggling desperately to the shore. However, the Japanese bomber machine guns were sweeping them frantically, and while a straight current was launched on the sea, these sailors were also beaten to death.
, the brain blossoms.
It was not easy. The U.S. Air Force flew fighter jets to meet the enemy. Due to time constraints, the U.S. Air Force could only mobilize a few fighter jets to fight. As soon as they came on stage, they shot down several Japanese modified Zero bombers. In terms of the performance of the fighter jets,
In this regard, the United States still has the advantage.
Seeing this, representatives from various countries thought that the United States had already launched an air force counterattack at this time. And judging from the air force's methods, they still had the power to fight Japan, so why did Japan shoot down 260 fighter jets in the end?
Everyone watched quietly, and suddenly they were surprised to find that an American fighter jet exploded in the camera lens. This fighter jet had been chasing the Japanese fighter jet, and it was about to shoot down the enemy plane, but suddenly it exploded and disintegrated bizarrely.
The body parts burned and fell in the sky.
"What's going on? There is no enemy plane in the camera. How was it attacked?" Soviet representative Litvinov frowned. The people taking the pictures were on the ground, so they could capture a large space in the sky. They
I noticed that there was no enemy plane behind the mysteriously exploding fighter jet. So how did the fighter jet explode?
Roosevelt did not speak, but stared at the screen with some fear, as if he knew what was going to happen next.
Everyone was watching the video calmly, but as a fighter jet mysteriously self-destructed, they shuddered, as if they had a vague sense of fear in their hearts, but they didn't understand where this fear came from.
Next, another incredible scene appeared in the eyes of representatives from various countries.
I saw the Japanese fighter jets flying through the clouds in the sky suddenly opened the cab, and a man stood up from the cab. The man was walking on flat ground on the high-speed flying fuselage, and was not thrown away by the violent wind caused by the high-speed flight.
go out.
The man was wearing a black tight-fitting suit. Everyone recognized him as a so-called ninja in Japan. His whole body was wrapped tightly in black, making it difficult for people to see his true face. After the ninja stood up, he immediately chased the people behind him.
Two American fighter jets spread their hands.
Without any other movement, they just opened their hands, and then the two American fighter jets chasing behind suddenly exploded! They turned into a ball of flames and shattered in the sky, and the broken parts rained down with tails of fire!
After witnessing this, the representatives from various countries inhaled a sharp breath of cold air. The cold oxygen in their lungs spread out from their chests, and their whole bodies became colder inch by inch. (To be continued...)
