Admiral Tomohisa Kawano’s fleet was still a long way off from California, but the cyber-attacks had bought him some time. He had just received a message that the Americans had restored their DoD communications system across the country, with exception of the West Coast. The report also said the Americans had scrambled their F41 hyper sonic fighters to intercept the fake transports and fighters. Once they discovered it was fake, they would immediately report their findings, which meant he had precious little time until it was discovered that his task force was not retreating to the West Coast, but was rather the vanguard of a massive PLAN invasion force.
Their intelligence indicated that a large force of Marines had moved from Camp Pendleton to the initial drop zones and was awaiting the Chinese paratroopers, who would never show. His task force was now in range of their cruise missiles, and he was ordered to launch them at the Marine force, which was out in the open and completely unprepared to defend against such an attack. With a bit of uncertain reluctance, he gave the order to launch 150 cruise missiles at the Marine positions. He then gave the order to launch another 200 cruise missiles at Camp Pendleton, and 100 cruise missiles at the naval facilities in San Diego. If the Americans were able to get their radars operational within the next three hours, they would be able to identify and engage the incoming cruise missiles and would know they came from the Japanese task force. If not, then the likelihood is they would assume the missiles came from the PLAN task force.
While this was taking place, their surprise invasion against the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Oakland had just started. In addition to the port attacks, thirty civilian Boeing 787s landed at thirty different major air hubs across the country at essentially the same time. As they taxied toward their positions within the terminal, they would unleash the greatest Trojan horse attack against America in their history. Today was truly going to go down as a day that would live in infamy as President Roosevelt had once said on December 7th, 1941, 99 years ago.
