Age of Rebirth

Yamamoto 56 didn't like to listen to Minano Xiushan's words, "Constrained by inherent thinking?" It's openness and creative thinking.

At this point, Admiral Yamamoto is quite conceited, and he often has whimsical ideas, and his tactics are even more eclectic. Otherwise, there would be no achievements of the Imperial Navy United Fleet today!

Feeling that I was underestimated by this guy Nanye, "Then I would like to ask Nanye-kun to give you some advice!" General Yamamoto said displeased.

General Nanye knew very well that this guy Yamamoto had a very strong self-esteem and was quite conceited, so he stopped speaking in a mysterious tone and went straight to the point, "Yamamoto-kun, what is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor to form the North American Combat Command? Why? Appoint you as the commander? The whole empire is revolving around the whole plan, even the Australian war is second, don't you understand the meaning of it?"

"There is a long-standing feud between the army and the navy of the Empire. With the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor, he can see clearly, but he still puts troops from different systems and units with different backgrounds into ~top~point~novel to North America In the sequence of the combat command, this is very telling!"

"So, I just emphasized that the power you have is by far the greatest. As long as the task of opening up a battlefield in the United States is completed, what you do is right. But now you are looking forward and backward, worrying a lot, and you are not deeply involved. Bound by fixed thinking, what is it?"

"As the commander of the North American Combat Command specially appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, he has supreme authority over the commanders at all levels of the troops under his jurisdiction. Even if it is to replace or even shoot a few senior officers such as senior officers and major generals, what's the problem?"

"Pressure and slander from various factions in the base camp will not shake your status. As long as you can win the battle on the battlefield, fulfill His Majesty's entrustment, and open up a new situation for the Japanese Empire, Yamamoto-kun has made great contributions. Why bother to look forward and backward? China There is a saying that goes well, it's called 'Compassion doesn't control soldiers!' It's my advice to Yamamoto-kun!"

What Minano Xiushan said.For General Yamamoto, it has a miraculous effect like enlightenment, and it is like a slap in the face.Waking up the person in the dream, yes, behind him, there is not only the full support of the navy.It also has the authorization and absolute trust of His Majesty the Emperor.As long as the work is done beautifully, who dares to make irresponsible remarks, even if they do, what can I do?

General Yamamoto got up, bowed respectfully to General Nanye, and said sincerely: "Mr. Nanye, you have been taught. Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years! Military affairs are busy. Let me go!"

Looking at General Yamamoto's excited back, General Nanye smiled meaningfully.He saw the murderous look in Yamamoto's eyes and the absolute confidence. From the bottom of his heart, he was the last person who didn't want the plan to fail!

Two days later, at Pearl Harbor, the location of Japan’s North American Combat Command, Admiral Yamamoto presided over a large-scale military meeting. But he didn't show up, only Rear Admiral Matsuda, Chief of Staff of the United Fleet, and several naval officers with the rank of Colonel came.

Several air force commanders of the Army Aviation Corps who came to participate in the military meeting knew from this posture that the purpose of the new boss, who was from the Navy, was to hold the military meeting. I am afraid that the purpose of this military meeting was aimed at the army system. People in the sea, could it be that they let the people in the navy ride on their necks and give orders?

As for the two army commanders from the army and a large number of generals under them, they are calm. They also know that it is not their turn to play for the time being, and the jackpot belongs to the guys with wings. I belong to Lu Zihao, but these guys with wings have never looked down on infantry, and the two systems are not in harmony. Therefore, intentionally or unintentionally, the officers of the No.15 Army and the Sixteen Army, the seats and the Army Aviation The officers kept a certain distance.

General Yamamoto sat on the rostrum, with piercing eyes, in excellent condition, with a short and sturdy figure, dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Navy General, which made him very mighty. However, another giant, General Nanye, did not sit so conspicuously. Instead, he quietly found a corner and observed these officers with his usual mysterious smile.

General Yamamoto cut to the chase and said: "Masters, the purpose of holding the military meeting today is to determine the time for the launch of the offensive, as well as the deployment of operations and the specific tasks of each unit. It's three days later!"

"Offensive deployment. The air strikes on the east coast of the United States are divided into two waves. The air strike targets are the following four, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Carson City, and Semler. The first round of air strikes is mainly based on the Army Air Corps. , by the Navy's land-based aviation and fleet carrier-based aircraft."

"Army Air Force Yoshida Air Force, Matsukawa Air Force, air strike target is Los Angeles, Oshima Air Force, Shimizu Air Force, air strike target is San Francisco, Murakami United Air Force, air strike target is Carson City, Kisarazu United Air Force, air strike target For Salem!"

"The main task of the first round of air raids on each air force is to disrupt the US air defense system on the east coast, attract all the combat aircraft of the US air force on the east coast, and carry out air combat with you. Create an opportunity for a second air strike, so the missions of the air teams in the first round of attack are crucial, gentlemen, do you have any opinions on the above deployment?"

Have an opinion?Opinions have grown. The commanders of the Army Aviation Corps are all experts. When they heard General Yamamoto’s deployment, they all understood in their hearts. If you dare, let the Army Aviation Corps take the lead and attract the firepower of the Americans. It's okay to let yourself fight with American combat aircraft to the death. The eagle in the sky of the Great Japanese Empire is eager to fight and has no fear of any enemy!

But what you did in Yamamoto is too much. It’s not authentic. It’s hard to say that it’s just letting our Army Aviation be used as cannon fodder. The carrier-based aircraft unit paves the way. In the end, your navy created the results of the battle. The garland of victory is worn on your navy's head. The local people can only remember your navy. Our army aviation has to bear the responsibility for heavy losses.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, the people of Lu Hang, just let the people of the navy bully like this?

The commander of the Kisarazu United Air Force from the Homeland Defense Command, Major General Kisarazu Jiro, is the direct descendant and confidant of Prince Zaihito, and the background is absolutely tough. Before he was transferred to Hawaii, Prince Zaijin explained to himself that he should try his best to preserve his strength. It's not easy for me to save this little wealth, so you can't give me all of it. Remember, our main enemy is not the Americans, but that Chinese devil, Tang Qiuli!

When General Yamamoto hadn't finished deploying the mission, he almost exploded his lungs. At this time, he couldn't bear it anymore, Major General Kisarazu stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Commander Yamamoto, for your combat deployment, I respect you! There are different opinions!"

General Yamamoto's gaze focused, "It's still here!" He thought to himself.

"Commander Kisarazu, do you have any opinions? Even though you can refer to any opinions before the operation begins, after the operation begins, this commander will not accept anyone's opinion! The rest is only without hesitation. Execute the order!" General Yamamoto seemed to be calm, but actually said with a hint of warning.

Major General Kisarazu couldn't understand the meaning of Yamamoto's words, but he was not afraid at all, and said defiantly: "Your Excellency, Commander Yamamoto, the department has different views on the order of the two rounds of attacks!"

"The gentlemen present here are all experts. You should know that the bombers and escort fighter jets of our Army Aviation took off from land-based airports in Pearl Harbor and other places, and when they arrived at the target cities on the east coast of the United States, there was not much fuel left in the aircraft. , is only enough to carry out air strike missions and return flights, but in your deployment, you also require the army aviation fleet to attract the combat aircraft of the U.S. Air Force and conduct air combat with them!"

"I would like to ask Commander Yamamoto, have you considered this issue? If the Army Aviation fleet engages in an air battle with the U.S. Air Force fleet, and the fuel is exhausted, how will the fleet return? You will never let our Army Aviation's more than 2000 aircraft Combat aircraft, landing in the Pacific Ocean?"

"As far as I know, the United Navy Fleet is near the east coast of the United States, and its take-off distance is much shorter than that of the Army Aviation. It is most appropriate to undertake the first round of air strike missions and attract the attention of the US Air Force fleet. Please, Commander Your Excellency consider my opinion and change the combat deployment, otherwise, the staff department can only report truthfully to His Royal Highness Prince Zai Ren!"

Well, this Major General Kisarazu is also quite aggressive. He said a lot of things, and he just refuted General Yamamoto's combat deployment to nothing. The commander's opinion, so everyone clamored in unison, agreed with Major General Kisarazu's opinion, and asked Commander Yamamoto to change the combat deployment, and the venue suddenly became chaotic.

General Yamamoto's complexion suddenly turned livid. He expected that the guys in Lu Hang would definitely have different opinions and utter a few complaints, but unexpectedly, he asked himself to completely overthrow the well-thought-out, I don't know how many sleepless nights I have spent, I have devoted all my efforts, I have made a battle plan, and I will start all over again!

What made him even more unbearable was that Kisarazu, that bastard, actually moved out of his backer—Prince Zain, which exposed his biggest worry.
