Our bombers keep bombing the approaching 400,000 Japs. Championzhao brought at least half of the all Jap AA to his India campaign and bombers suffer a unbearable loss rate during the bombing campaign. However, we will continue the bombing.

And our troops unloaded at Karachi give us the about the equal strength against the Japs. And there is no way Japs can take Hyderabad(sindh)or Karachi.

After the fall of Noumea, the intelligence keep showing that a large Jap army is preparing for Wellington. And the day finally comes, 450,000 Japs just took Wellington in one day.

US 32nd Divison and most of the NZ army were lost in the tragedy. By now we have lost 8 Australia Div, 2 US Army Div and 0.7 USMC Division. It will took us 2 years the rebuild all the Aussie divisions but US divisions have enough replacements in the pool and they will regain strength in two months.

Quite turns for some time and US carriers are leaving India and heading back to the Pacific. Lots of our APs will convert into APA in March and we will have actions in Pacific now.

Lexington was attacked by Jap sub today and luckily didn't get hurt. If one of my remaining carriers were damaged or sunk I will have no ability to counter attack in a long time.
