February 28 fearing the strong presence of allied forces and having more fighter and troops station there and after the failed attempt to land forces at Sumatra the invasion of java is cancelled with a new tactic to gain air supporty from bases in Borneo and then to land a much larger japans force from there ( the japans can if the want to land as the have better ships but the British and Dutch have more fighter squadrons station on java and have radar to guide their planes to the target and have therefore local air supporty over both java and Sumatra and the battle of java sea never took place like otl ). Al japans landings in the Philippines and in new Guinea are happening like in the otl

March 2 The Dutch take supreme command of all allied forces in Southwest Pacific after the still with their allies are holding on the java and Sumatra while the japans attention haze shifted toward capturing al of the New Guinea ( because the landing of java and Sumatra failed the japans are now throwing the force that was suppose to land on java against new Guinea). the us begins hastily preparation of landing a force on midway supported by the aircraft Carriers Lexington and Yorktown and a force of 1.000 soldiers to hop in liberating the island as the fear that midway can be jus to bomb Hawaii and the us eastern coast.

March 27 in a speech the president of the united states says that what happen on march 26th was something that showed the Japanese would hit at the united states and compared the san Francisco raid with the pearl harbour raid as a day that will live on infamy and that now all of the United states people should unity more than ever before ( the death toll haze risen to 112 and all US coastal city are to receive large aa protection while the entire eastern US seaboard is ordered to black-out its lights at night, in an attempt to reduce the success of a follow up of the san Francisco raid and prevent the success of U-boats hitting ships and shell the coast at night, planes for a second attempt to reinvaded midway are being made but this time a 3 days b-17 bombing campaign to level the japans 1,000 garrison and to destroy the airfield are to be taken place first fore the second faze 3 carriers are needed carrier Lexington will be deployed to guard and intercept any raid on san Francisco wile the Hornet and Enterprise will launch a air attack on Tokyo fore retaliation for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and san Francisco and after that will link up with the Lexington fore the invasion, the strike on Tokyo was already being planed fore April 18 while the invasion of midway as al goes to plan will begin end April to allow the carriers time to regroup the operation will be named third wave )

March 28 RAF Bomber Command again attacks the Tirpitz at floro Norway ( trondelheim is being used by the German to transport iron ore to germany and therefore the Tirpitz is Anker in floro to intercept any British ship tat has plans to attack trondelheim).
