目前战略地图，日本积极准备进攻新西兰中

随着2艘重伤的美军航空母舰挣扎着驶入悉尼港，诺福克海战结束。

; x# ?. a( h# J( D! o; d! `盟军损失了一艘航空母舰Wasp号，日军损失了加贺号和轻型空母祥凤号。萨拉托加和约克城重伤，预计修理时间半年以上，大黄蜂号轻伤，预计修理时间一个月。至此盟军在整个太平洋战场失去了所有可用的航空母舰，43年下半年之前大规模的跨海反攻已经不现实，本档落入了和老赵那档一样的境地。

意呆利人凭借残余的KB和MiniKB强行登陆新西兰。D DAY盟军的反击被击退，损失了100多架海军和陆战队的飞机只击沉了数艘日军运输船，日军战舰毫发无伤。盟军在惠灵顿集中了美陆军27师，澳8师和所有的新西兰部队，战斗力超过2000，补给40w，发誓同惠灵顿共存亡。

AE里任何在42年反攻日军腹地的行动基本都会死相难看，飞机部队船只补给燃料统统无法到位的，欢迎尝试
