Invincible from the sword

Chapter 491
Inside the base camp of the island nation, there was silence.

Tojo's forehead was covered with sweat.

He was almost desperate.

Yamamoto's telegram was a huge blow to Tojo.

Made him almost pass out.

As the leader of the island country, he, Tojo, is responsible for any problems with the army of the island country or the navy of the island country.

In the previous few times, Tojo had been under tremendous pressure.

The Battle of Midway was lost.

Anan was only killed three divisions in Kangaroo Country.

He successfully concealed these problems.

The bottom cannon fodder of the island country has no idea of ​​these huge failures.

As for Goutian Locust, Tojo also successfully resolved it with his mouth.

I thought it was time to win next, but I didn't expect Yamamoto's fleet to suffer another defeat.

This failure has a much greater impact than the previous ones.

Their island country can still bear the previous failures.

But this time, it directly led to the disappearance of the entire combined island nation fleet.

Yamamoto's defense plan was also based on this consideration.

But this kind of defense can't last long at all.

The Pacific Ocean is so big, how do you defend it?

How much more troops will be invested?

And how effective is the defense?

It's hard to say.

Tojo's military common sense is still there.

He is very clear that passive defense is very detrimental to their island country.

To defend without sea and air control, you can only fill it with soldiers.

The problem is that their island country now has not many combat-ready troops.

Is it necessary to recruit soldiers from the mainland of the island country again?

This is not easy to do.

Now that they are on the mainland of the island country, there is not much cannon fodder to use.

Is it rare to incorporate women from island countries into the army?

Tojo was a little reluctant.

The girls in their island country are all treasures.

versatile.

The whole body is drama.

It's a pity to send it to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

passive defense...

Tojo frowned, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.

Gotta figure out a way.

And now, Tojo must find a way to convince His Majesty the dog to keep his position as prime minister.

As for Yamamoto's defense plan, Tojo agreed in principle.

To be honest, the defense plan formulated by Yamamoto is very feasible.

Yamamoto's defense plan is very huge.

The code name of the whole plan is "Security Fortress."

The name is simple and crude.

As can be seen from the name, the core of this defense plan is some important islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The core of the plan is to use islands as fortresses in the Pacific Ocean.

Construct a huge defensive line.

Specifically, with Rabaul Island in the South Pacific as the core, the Bismarck Islands and the pro-Georgia Islands, Bougainville Islands, and Shortland Islands on the two wings are protected.

At the same time, starting from the western end of the Aleutian Islands and the Thousand Islands in the north, passing through the mainland of the island country, the Ryukyu Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, Wake Island, the Marshall Islands and the Gilbert Islands, it forms the first chain across the Pacific Ocean from north to south.

This chain is called the outer defense circle by Yamamoto.

After the outer defensive circle, is the Mariana Islands.

This archipelago is called the absolute defense circle by Yamamoto.

In Yamamoto's plan, the Mariana Islands must be defended regardless of the cost.

This concerns the survival of the island nation.

In the absolute defense circle, the most important islands are the islands of Iwo Jima, Guam, and Okinawa.

As for the outer defensive circle, Yamamoto's plan is to consume as much of the lighthouse country's troops as possible here.

The final goal is to bring the lighthouse country to the negotiating table.

Yamamoto believes that as long as enough casualties are caused to the Lighthouse Country, the Lighthouse Country will definitely not be able to bear it.

After all, the soldiers of the Lighthouse Kingdom are too expensive.

Moreover, the people of the lighthouse country have always pursued isolationism.

They should not fight desperately with their island countries.

Therefore, their island country should use these two layers of defense circles to fight to the death with the lighthouse country.

As long as the casualties of the lighthouse country's troops increase rapidly, the lighthouse country will not be able to withstand it.

At that time, it is entirely possible to negotiate a settlement of the Pacific issue.

Suo ga.

Tojo frowned and thought about it.

This guy Yamamoto is indeed an excellent commander of the island country.

His combat thinking is very valuable.

According to Yamamoto's plan, in order to achieve such a combat goal, the required ground troops require almost 20 troops.

These troops need to fight on the islands above the two defensive circles.

But in Tojo's view, Yamamoto was still too conservative.

20 troops are too weak.

There is no threat to the troops of the lighthouse country.

To truly achieve such a combat goal, the required troops must be at least around 50.

Now the combat quality of their island soldiers has been greatly reduced.

50 is not bad.

But Tojo decided that in order to scare the lighthouse country, he needed to come up with a sufficiently crazy slogan.

Tojo tilted his neck and thought for a while.

Call it, the [-] million broken jade plan!

idiot……

This name sounds very good.

The more Tojo thought about it, the more it made sense.

This name sounds awesome.

Very characteristic of their island country.

Tojo himself was excited.

He quickly brought up this idea at the island's cabinet meeting.

It directly shocked the entire island cabinet.

Even war madmen like Hata Shunroku and Hattori Naotomi were terrified by Tojo's slogan.

My day!
Old Dong!

You are indeed the most beautiful boy in our island country!
You can even think of such an awesome slogan!
The [-] million jade broken plan!
What the hell!

Does this mean that our entire island country is preparing jade pieces?
Tojo-kun, the earth is almost too big for you.

Tojo's slogan was unanimously approved by the entire island cabinet.

At the same time, the defensive circle plan proposed by Yamamoto was also successfully passed.

As for the issue of defensive strength.

The island's cabinet has decided to deploy [-] troops from Terauchi Shouichi's Southern Expedition Army for reinforcements.

In the latter case, five divisions were urgently transferred from the Kwantung Army.

Then, five divisions were drawn from the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army.

In this case, the strength of fifteen divisions can be mobilized.

Adding in the 25 troops of Shouichi in the temple, the entire defense force can reach about [-] troops.

In order to better defend, the island's cabinet decided to grab 20 labor from the Bangzi country and enter those islands.

Take on the task of digging trenches and tunnels.

Just when the island country's base camp began a large-scale defense, on Guadalcanal Island, Lao Fan's troops began a formal attack.

After the Japanese fleet was defeated, the waters off Guadalcanal had been reoccupied by Spruance's fleet.

Now Lao Fan can finally attack.

And it doesn't work if you don't attack.

On the other side of the island, there are more than 2 Japanese troops.

If they don't attack, the threat to Lao Fan's [-]st Marine Division will be too great.

Now, take advantage of the unsteady foothold of the Japanese army, hurry up!

It's just how to attack, Lao Fan has no idea at all.

But that's not a problem.

Because Nimitz and Zhang Lei have come to Guadalcanal.

Pipe Mike was picked up by a destroyer.

From here to Hawaii.

Then fly back to the lighthouse country from Hawaii.

During the whole process, Pipe Mike was in a daze.

Marshall said that because of his excellent command ability and his effective attack on the Japanese army, the Congress of the Lighthouse State had passed a resolution.

He was promoted to be a five-star general of the Lighthouse Kingdom.
