Age of Rebirth

However, Koichi Minai is obviously not targeting Shinji Oda. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between the civil service system and the army. The two factions get along fairly peacefully. It belongs to the superficial harmonious relationship between you and me. He couldn't offend a heavyweight minister, besides, his analysis was completely correct.

"Oda-kun, please be safe and don't be impatient! Please listen to what I'm going to say!" Seeing Oda Shinji's cock-fighting posture, Minai Koichi didn't want to fight with him. The refutation was terrific and embarrassing, so he spoke first.

Oda Shinji sat down resentfully, secretly lucky in his heart, "Looking at you Minai, what kind of fart can you hold back?"

Minai Koichi fixed his eyes on Nagano Xiushan, and then said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I personally agree with Oda-kun's analysis just now. It is indeed a great talent. I personally admire it very much. I ask myself that I don't have this depth. , but I don't agree with what Yongye-kun said just now!"

Oda Shinji's face immediately transitioned from severe winter to spring, he was greatly relieved, and muttered to himself, "It turned out to be aimed at that guy Nagano. Money has nothing to do with it, just watch the excitement!"

Seeing Minai Koichi, Nagano Shuzan pointed the finger at himself, and he knew that this old guy took the opportunity to vent his anger and hit himself. Isn't it because the army did not get the post of commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command, and he was not convinced?

Well, in the face of such a clear situation, let's see what kind of tricks you can come up with. "Oh! Minai-kun questioned what I said just now, so Nagano really wants to listen to Minai-kun's high opinion!" Nagano Xiushan said very modestly.But anyone can smell the taste in the tone.

Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting high on the Dragon Throne, frowned even more, feeling so tired in his heart, "Well, it's pinching again!" However, I also wanted to hear it.As soon as Mineiguang wanted to say something next, he didn't stop him!

Minai Koichi said solemnly: "The so-called 'defense against others is indispensable!' But Nagano-kun's speech just now completely ignored this point. The enemies we are facing are not only the Americans, but also the Chinese devil Tang. Qiu Li, what is his plan to send more than two million troops to the Indochina Peninsula?"

"According to my judgment, it is still an attempt to seize the empire's occupied area in the Southwest Pacific. If according to Mr. Nagano just now, the defense forces of the empire's islands in the southwest Pacific can be transferred at any time to join the war against the United States. Then, once the Chinese devil What should we do if our troops suddenly launch an attack?"

"Is the empire going to play an empty game? Even in the war against the United States, it won a great victory, but lost the imperial occupation area in the southwest Pacific. Is it not worth the loss? It can be seen that what Nagano-kun said just now is extremely short-sighted and dangerous. What you have done is not commensurate with the high position you are in now!"

"Even Nagano-kun is so knowledgeable. It can be seen that the strategic judgment and insight of generals from the naval system are far inferior to those of the army system. After all, the sea is not land, and warships cannot go ashore. The navy is also different from the army, I would like to advise Mr. Nagano to remind the five generals of Yamamoto not to use the navy to command the army to fight!"

The last few words were the key point of Minai Koichi, who disgusted Nagano Shuzan fiercely, and belittled all the admirals by the way. His words were indeed poisonous and harsh, and he directly slapped him in the face.

Nagano Xiushan was furious. What he said just now was just a vision for the future. If the war against the United States went well, there would be no need to mobilize the Imperial Army in the Southwest Pacific to join the battlefield. Moreover, Nagano Xiushan believed that the Imperial Army With the troops assembled now, joining forces with the Germans, this battle is sure to win, there is no need to send more troops, it is just an idea!

But Mi Neko, a bastard, clings to his own ideas and slanders himself and the navy wantonly, damn it!If you don't show Mi Neiguang a little bit of strength, you still think that I, Nagano Shuzan, is a soft persimmon and easy to pinch!

General Nagano Shuzan stood up angrily, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and prepared for a big fight, to get back the place and face, and incidentally let the old bastard Minei Koichi suffer a bit!

"Enough!" Emperor Hirohito on the Dragon Throne, when he saw that something was going wrong, his expression turned cold, and he stopped drinking. If two ministers like fighting cocks were to pinch each other, it would be endless, Chen Zhima rotten millet Old enmities and grudges have to be brought out, and after arguing for seventeen or eight days, they can't make a fuss. The two guys who don't match each other are not tired, and I still feel annoyed!

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor getting angry, Minai Koichi and Nagano Shuzan, who were about to fight with each other, lost their temper at once. If you can't run away, let yourself go home for a few years, it's all there!

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It's the minister who was waiting for Meng Lang. Your Majesty has been rude!" The two hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Hum! You know the current affairs!" Emperor Hirohito snorted, and his complexion improved a little. "My dear friends, you put state affairs first and speak freely. I am very relieved. This statement of neutrality by the Chinese government is very important to our Empire of Japan. For me, it’s a good thing! It saves you from worrying about the future!”

"However, it is not unreasonable for Mrs. Minai to be worried. Unless the imperial army must increase its strength during operations in the United States, otherwise, the imperial army in the Southwest Pacific occupied area cannot be easily transferred. Today's meeting That's all for now, all my loves, please do your best and do your best for the empire!"

have to!As soon as His Majesty's imperial mouth was opened, each hit [-] big boards. It seemed that Minai Koichi and Nagano Shuzan didn't take much advantage, and everyone dispersed.

Miuchi Kouchi let out a sigh of relief, felt very comfortable, and severely belittled the naval system, but thinking about it carefully, the verbal dispute can't change anything. The Navy's Yamamoto 56 is still the official commander of North American operations. The commander of the Ministry, Gensaburo Ito is still under the control of the navy, and he offended Shuzan Nagano to death. It seems that he didn't get any benefits. Thinking of this, his mood became depressed again!

Tang Qiuli, who was brought up by Mi Nei Guangyi to talk about the matter, naturally did not know that because of a statement of neutrality, he was immersed in the military training of various corps because of the internal fighting among the Japanese high-level leaders. The main content of the training of the troops is For the tactics of fighting on tropical islands and jungles, for this reason, he issued a special order to form and train a jungle warfare reinforcement battalion in each formed regiment of each corps, which will be used as the main force of the Southwest Pacific War in the future!

A few days after the neutrality statement of the Chinese government was released, during a casual chat, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked him, "Master, tell me, what kind of response will this statement of ours cause?"

Tang Qiuli smiled lightly, and said: "There are joys and sorrows, countries judge according to their own vital interests, but the Americans are the most troubled, the Japanese are the most reassuring, and the Germans are the most satisfied! "

The time for the Japanese army to land on the west coast of the United States is initially determined to be the end of November or the beginning of December this year. There are still about half a year before now. Idle, doing nothing, just waiting for the attack time to come.

General Yamamoto is an excellent tactician. He has his own ideas. In the end, to occupy the territory of the United States, he still has to rely on the army to land and operate. The imperial army assembled on various islands in the Eastern Pacific has more than 100 million people, such a large force , Crossing the Eastern Pacific Ocean, spanning a distance of one latitude, the Americans would not see a large number of Imperial Army, sitting in a troop carrier, swaggering to attack!

Therefore, the prerequisite to ensure the smooth progress of the landing operation is to completely destroy the American sea and air defense forces. The American sea power is not to be feared. The US Pacific Fleet has already existed in name only. The biggest opponent and obstacle is If the land-based air force of the United States does not wipe out the air defense force of the United States, more than one million imperial troops land, and I am afraid that the waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean will be blood-stained!

Therefore, General Yamamoto issued the following order to the army units that have been assembled one after another, "At present, all units focus on training beach landing operations, the cooperation and coordination between infantry and artillery, tank units and infantry units, and the enemy's beaches. The firepower to destroy the position and the ability to quickly break through are especially important!"

"At the end of October this year, the command will send a large number of officers to various places for actual inspections. If it is found that the army units that have not followed the command of the command or have not met the training standards, the commanders at all levels will Remove from office on the spot, and the commander of the Marine Corps will be transferred to take over!"

After letting the Army have something to do, General Yamamoto focused his energy on bombing the west coast of the United States. General Yamamoto received information that the Americans began to build a large number of field airports on the west coast, and there were quite a few A large number of combat aircraft are gathering towards the west coast one after another. Obviously, this is used to deal with the landing of the Imperial Army.

After careful study, General Yamamoto and Chief of Staff General Minamino came up with corresponding countermeasures. Instead of bombing several cities on the west coast of the United States, they switched to bombing the newly built field airport in the United States to delay or destroy the American anti-landing plan.

At the same time, the mixed fleet of land-based aviation is still used as a bait to lure the U.S. land-based aviation to fight, while the carrier-based fleet of the United Fleet concentrates on the superior fleet and mainly uses a large number of air forces to kill the U.S. military.

General Yamamoto called this tactic "wolf strike tactic!" It means that the naval carrier-based aircraft unit, like a hungry wolf, rushes out ferociously, and every bite will tear off a piece of meat from the US land-based aviation. The accumulation of little makes more, and sooner or later the blood of the US land-based aviation will be drained.
