:03:00
and proceeding with the rest
of the Pacific strategy.
:03:03
We have learned
:03:05
there are heavy concentrations
of enemy carriers
:03:08
and other fleet units
in the Marshall Islands
:03:11
and a numerous
transport force
:03:13
making up at Truk.
:03:14
So our strategy is this.
:03:27
We shall concentrate
our strength near Midway
:03:30
in our effort
to spring a trap.
:03:33
One of our carriers
is already at sea
:03:36
waiting to carry out
the initial phases
:03:38
of this strategy.
:03:39
On April the 28th,
:03:40
this carrier
and its escort
:03:42
will be off
the Marshall Islands,
:03:44
close enough
to be detected.
:03:46
On May the 3rd,
:03:47
it is to be seen
near the Gilbert Islands
:03:50
by theJapanese.
:03:51
On May the 8th,
:03:52
it will be detected
near Ocean Island,
:03:54
as if heading
for theJap fleet at Truk,
:03:57
but it will not attack.
:03:59
It will turn south,
:04:00
be seen on May the 1 5th
at Guadalcanal.
:04:10
Every time one of our pilots
encounters a Jap plane,
:04:14
he will return
to the carrier,
:04:16
as if he did
not stomach a fight.
:04:19
By sending this one carrier
on such a mission,
:04:22
we hope
to convince the enemy
:04:25
that our fleet
is scattered,
:04:27
our fighting morale...
shattered.
:04:31
Actually, we shall be
waiting for them in force
:04:34
near Midway.
:04:35
If they fall
for this bait
:04:38
and attempt an invasion,
:04:39
we shall then be able
to answer the question--
:04:43
''Where is our navy?
:04:45
Why doesn't it fight?''
