mixed in the war

"brush--"

Hideki Tojo opened the door, and when he saw his expressionless face, the originally lively room fell silent.

"It turned out to be Mr. Private, why, the imperial meeting is over?"

Ishihara looked at the guy who had beaten him as an idler with small eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Ishihara!" Seishiro Sakagaki was on the side, and he hurriedly pushed Ishihara with a smile.Hideki Tojo is narrow-minded, and everyone knows it.Although this guy now needs Ishihara Wanji's help to make suggestions, but if Ishihara Wanji still talks like this, he will be punished by Tojo Hideki sooner or later.To his surprise, Tojo Hideki didn't care much about Ishihara Waner's rudeness, he waved his hand casually, and walked into the floor:

"It's okay. Although I don't agree with Youtomo in Yamagata all the time, I'm still willing to learn from this veteran of the Meiji era. Ishihara-kun just called me 'Private Soldier', which is better than Motojiro Akashi who peed in front of Youtomo in Yamagata. Much educated."

"Akashi Genjiro?" Ishihara narrowed his small eyes.Akashi Motojiro was an early general of the Japanese army and a genius spy king. During the Russo-Japanese War, he helped launch the Russian Revolution in 1905 and turned the Russian hinterland upside down.You know, until the launch of the full-scale war of aggression against China, there were only [-] standing divisions in Japan as a whole.Akashi Motojiro alone can be worth more than half of the Japanese army, and his talent can be seen in general.For the sake of the Russo-Japanese War, Akashi Genjiro not only played tricks inside Russia, he also arranged an intelligence communication network, instigated Russian government officials, instigated the independence movement of the three small Baltic countries, met with Finnish independence leaders, obstructed the transportation of troops, and secretly smuggled weapons to others. The workload and difficulty of anti-imperialist Russian organizations, close cooperation with the British government, and guiding European public opinion towards Japan were beyond imagination.So much so that some people later said that there was no Nogi Nozomi.The Japanese army can also win Lushun; without Togo Heihachiro, the sea battle in the Sea of ​​Japan can be won; but without Akashi Genjiro, the loser of the Russo-Japanese War will definitely be Japan.This statement is widely recognized.After the Russo-Japanese War, Akashi Motojiro, the governor of Taiwan, although his term of office was only one year and a few months, he made remarkable achievements. Although he was a colonist, he did make a lot of contributions to the development of Taiwan... Ishihara Wan Er didn't expect Hideki Tojo to compare himself with such a great person, and he felt a little embarrassed... Although he is a strategic talent, he is really not very good at communicating with people.

"Is there any result of the imperial meeting?"

Terauchi Shouyi changed the topic.He was unwilling to pay attention to the conflict between Ishihara Wanji and Tojo Hideki.In his opinion.Ishihara is smiling and talented, but it's a pity that he is too sharp and arrogant, which is why he is always taken down by Tojo Hideki, Umezu Yoshijiro and others who he looks down on.And now they are gathered in Tokyo.During the period of plotting foreign wars, Ishihara Wanji still never forgot to ridicule Tojo Hideki all the time.It can only explain one thing: even if they won the Battle of Siberia.Ishihara Waner still didn't make any "progress".Sooner or later, they will still be punished.

"Your Majesty has agreed to go to war a long time ago, and this time it is just a reconfirmation." Hideki Tojo glanced at the people on the floor again: Terauchi Shouichi, Ishihara Kanji, Doihara Kenji, Sakagaki Seishiro, and because The Nanjing Massacre case was exposed, Matsui Iwane has been hiding in his hometown to recuperate, and the military ranks of these people are all generals of the army!but.These people are still not under the eyes of Hideki Tojo, because these people have lost much power except Kanji Ishihara and Seishiro Sakagaki who are still in office. Doihara and Iwane Matsui are even forced to retired.And Ishihara smiled... Seriously.Hideki Tojo never took this guy seriously.Just like what Terauchi Shouichi thought, Tojo Hideki also felt that Ishihara Wanji could only be a pure and excellent military staff officer. As for other aspects, this guy was destined to be abused and could not be successful... But there was no one in the room. All Army!

"Yamamoto-kun, this time I'm counting on you."

Hideki Tojo bowed to a guy who was also bald and had only three fingers on his left hand sitting next to Ishihara Kanji.

"I hope our operation this time can be a complete victory!"

Eight fingers, bald, Yamamoto 56!Future Pacific Eagles!At this time, the Japanese Navy Admiral, Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet!

"Unfortunately, 'Yamato' and 'Musashi' cannot catch up with this battle." Behind Yamamoto 56, Vice Admiral Ozawa Jisaburo said with some regret.

"What 'Yamato' and 'Musashi'? Has the navy added any new ships?" Ishihara asked with a muffled smile.Although he enjoys a great name in the Japanese army, he has been rejected by the Japanese military core for many years, and he is not familiar with the names of these two warships.

"This is a super battleship built for a decisive battle with the U.S. Navy. It has a displacement of more than 460 tons and is equipped with a triple-mounted 56mm main gun!" Yamamoto [-] replied, "But it has not yet been completed, and for the sake of confidentiality, these two ships The construction of the warships is kept secret."

"A 460-ton battleship?" Ishihara couldn't help snorting coldly, "Hasn't your navy seen the future trend? Battleships are already outdated. Even such a huge super battleship can't stand the battleship Continuous bombing by bombers! How powerful is the [-]mm naval gun? Can it still be used to hit planes?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty Ishihara, 'Yamato' has been rebuilt and it will become the Navy's 11th aircraft carrier!" Ozawa Jisaburo replied straightening his chest.As a rare aviation combat expert in the navy, he has always advocated the use of aircraft carriers to replace battleships as the main force of the navy.And in order to prove the correctness of his claim, last year, that is, in 1940, he "cooked around" during a naval exercise.It was March last year. As the commander of the First Air Force, he led two aircraft carriers, "Akagi" and "Ryujo", and four destroyers to attack the battleship "Nagato" led by Yamamoto 3, " Mutsu and the aircraft carrier Soryu.The content of the exercise was originally that he dispatched 56 carrier-based attack aircraft carrying a torpedo, 18 land-based attack aircraft and 36 dive bombers to attack the main force of Yamamoto's combined fleet. Yamamoto's side used 27 fighter jets to defend.However, he changed the command system privately, taking over the command of the 27 aircraft from the aircraft carrier captain and the base commander, and under the direct command of the commander, he launched an attack on the battleship "Nagato".As a result, not long after the exercise started, the two captains of the "Nagato" captain Nishi Shinzo and the captain of the "Mutsu" Hoshina Zenshiro were almost mad by him on the bridge.The two of them had never seen this kind of attack method before. Large attack aircraft with a wingspan of 81 meters rushed towards the sea in groups.The torpedoes that left behind the white tracks on the sea rushed to the side of the ship one after another, one was dodged, the second was dodged, the second was dodged, the third, the fourth... In this way, there is no need to judge at the beginning of the exercise, because the ship must have sunk.Although those captains kept yelling at him on the bridge as "Baga Yalu", he was appreciated by Yamamoto 25.Later, after being in contact with Yamamoto 56 for a long time, he also heard one thing from the chief of staff of Yamamoto 56, Major General Fukutome... After that exercise, when the captains were yelling at him, Yamamoto 56 said nothing. Silently watching him command the carrier-based aircraft to carry out bombing exercises, and finally said to Fuliu Fan: "Can you use the plane to bomb Hawaii?"

Fried Hawaiian!Fu Liufan claimed that he was stupid after hearing this sentence.And when Jisaburo Ozawa learned of this sentence, he also thought it was just Yamamoto 56's personal thoughts.But he didn't expect that someone in the army, which has always been at odds with the navy, would have the same idea, even going further than Yamamoto 56... So, even though it is the navy, he has always been very polite to Ishihara Waner, even if the other party always It's a little rude.

"'Fengxiang' is still in the hands of the Chinese, so we don't have an 11th aircraft carrier, only the 10th one under construction!" Yamamoto 56 corrected Ozawa Jisaburo's statement, "And this time, we plan to dispatch eight of them !"

"Why not all nine ships?" Ishihara Waner asked again.

"Always protect the safety of the homeland?" Nanyun Zhongyi, who had never said anything, looked dissatisfied at the fact that this reputation had been spread in the circle, and he was almost becoming a new generation of military gods. "The Chinese already have The navy! And it’s no longer the kind of rags they used to just wander around the sea!”

"Nayun-kun, pay attention to your attitude." Yamamoto 56 lightly reprimanded his subordinates.Whether to go to war with Britain and the United States, even within the navy, there are two voices.Nagumo Chuichi is the opposition.The vice admiral was extremely vehemently opposed to the operation from the very beginning.Still, he eventually convinced the guy.Because although Yamamoto 56 is the strategic decision maker, the performance of the front-line commander who actually commands the battle can directly affect the final success or failure of the battle.Nagumo has Nagumo's strengths.Chuichi Nagumo is an expert in mine warfare, that is, an expert in navigation.In war with the Americans and bombing of American bases, the biggest problem is the secret voyage.Everyone in the navy was extremely troubled by this, and only Nagumo Tadaichi was confident about it.Let everyone not worry about sailing, as long as the carrier-based aircraft can fly, drop bombs, and blow up American ships, he will definitely be able to bring the fleet to the designated place!

"I'm just narrating the facts!" Nagumo Chuichi did not accept Yamamoto56's reprimand, and still stared at Ishihara with a smile.

"But you got the facts wrong, Nagumo-kun!" Ishihara smiled slightly: "The Chinese will not come to attack us. Just like they are helping us to cover up from the Americans now, before we really send troops to attack Southeast Asia , They will never launch any attack on us, and of course they will not attack our homeland. So, bring all the aircraft carriers. Because the more warships you bring, the greater the victory will be!" (unfinished to be continued..)
