The United States has already deciphered the telegram code for radio communications in the island country. Only a few high-level people know this. After all, this is too important.

After deciphering the code, you can know the movements of the island country, but this does not mean that you can know everything.

For example, after close investigations, they knew that the island country would carry out a sneak attack on their own island, but they didn't know where it was. In the island country's radio communications, they were all called code names.

Nimitz and others have fallen into hard thinking, for the island country, where do they want to attack the United States? Obviously, it's either Midway Island or the Aleutian Islands.

According to their guess, Nimitz thought of a way to leak out the lack of fresh water in the Aleutian Islands through an unclassified channel, hoping to arrange for merchant ships to supplement the Aleutian Islands as soon as possible.

As a result, on the same day, in the radio communications of the island country, the lack of fresh water was reported, and it was hoped that the offensive troops would bring enough fresh water.

In this way, the goal is finally determined, that is, the Aleutian Islands!

This is a masterpiece of nature. Looking at the map, in the north of the Pacific Ocean, in the southwest of Alaska, there is a semicircular band of islands, intermittently extending from east to west, almost reaching the Kamchatka Peninsula in Asia. It is more than 2700 kilometers long.

With the Anadyr Bay at the northern end of the Bering Sea as the center point, and the distance from this center point to the Aleutian Islands as the radius, the Aleutian Islands are almost all distributed on this circle.

If the Bering Sea is compared to a river, then the Aleutian Islands are like a long series of ”stepping stones” curved out of the water. Starting from the Alaska Peninsula, stepping on these ”stones” can ”walk” to the ”river”. Opposite shore.

This is the Aleutian Islands, which traverses the North Pacific in the form of a quarter moon, and is a strategic location for the United States in the northern Pacific.

From Europe to the Americas, no matter whether it is sailing or aviation, it will not travel through the loop, which is relatively long, but first to the north to the high latitude area and then to the south, which can greatly save the voyage.

In other words, the Aleutian Islands are on the shortest route between the island country and the Far East to North America and Northern Europe, and the closest place between the United States and Russia.

If the island nation captures here, the island nation’s bombers can easily fly to the west coast of the United States to bomb, and the island nation’s fleet can also set off from here and radiate to the west coast of the United States. This is quite unfavorable for the United States.

And one of the other factors is that it would seriously threaten the water channel for the transportation of supplies from the US to the Soviet Union.

There is no alliance between the island country and Germany, but the relationship between the two parties is close. Back then, the island people bombed Pearl Harbor with a large number of German bombers.

The appearance of German submarines in the Arctic must have something to do with island nations. German factors make the Aleutian Islands even more of a target for island nations.

In general, the Aleutian Islands are composed of five groups of islands: Fox, Andreyanov, Four Mountains, Lat and Neil. There are 159 large and small islands with a total area of ​​about 18,000 square kilometers.

Among the islands, there are only three excellent ports. Among them, the former Dutch port on the east coast of the Alaska peninsula is of strategic value in the military and has always been a US naval and air force base. At the northwestern tip of the Aleutian Islands is Attu Island, the final island in the American realm and the closest island adjacent to the Soviet Union. The island has many harbors, and the situation is difficult, and it is a natural ship anchorage.

From a geographical point of view, Attu Island must be the first island to be captured by the islanders. It is close to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union has no powerful navy and air force to deploy here. The United States is beyond reach, caught off guard, and easily occupied by the islanders. .
