The Japanese plan to withdraw their troops from the Southwest Pacific battlefield was hit hard by the independent division fleet from the very beginning, losing 18 people. The chief of staff of the Japanese base camp, General Hikari Minai, who was in charge of the specific command of the evacuation plan, is now in a state of desperation.

The problem faced by Minai Koichi is that the first batch of requisitioned troop carriers were destroyed by the independent division fleet. Even if the ground was dug another three feet, it would not be enough. The more than 40 soldiers who were increasingly passive on the battlefield were all retreated at once. Going to Australia, the warships of the independent division fleet are blocked in various sea areas leading to Australia, like hungry tigers blocking the way.

Mi Nei was soberly aware that without a strong fleet escort, even if there were enough troop carriers, they would still be sent to the guns of the Independent Division Fleet. +, and then buried in the sea, it is necessary to coordinate actions with the navy, but this is a big problem.

In order to seek the position of the commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command for the Army Department, at the last imperial military meeting, Minai Koichi offended the head of the Navy Department, Admiral Nagano Shuzan, the Minister of the Navy, and now The two people who met each other were not just ignoring each other, they had the urge to draw their swords at each other when they saw each other, especially Nagano Xiushan, his eyes were red when he saw him, and he wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death.

Hikaru Minai hesitated, embarrassed, and asked the navy to cooperate with the retreat, and it could be done through His Majesty's decree, but the navy did not have the guts to disobey His Majesty's order.

But this is only on the surface.If Nagano Xiushan made a trip behind his back and let himself suffer from being dumb, with that guy's cunning and insidiousness.There are several ways to do it, and, with the least loss of the Imperial Army, you can charge yourself with a command error and mediocrity. Koichi Minai understands his opponent.

Furthermore, the most powerful strategic force in the navy right now is the combined fleet.And the combined fleet commander, Yamamoto 56, was kicked out of the throne of the commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command by his own means.Can there be no resentment in my heart?

If the commander in charge of directing the escort operation harbors resentment, he can also use several methods to make himself suffer from being dumb.so.The crux of the problem still lies with Nagano Shuyama. If he gets rid of his past suspicions, everything will be easy to handle, and Yamamoto 56 will not be behind his back.

After much deliberation, Minai Koichi still decided to visit Nagano Shuzan's mansion in person, to be exact.It is to plead guilty, and it is best to achieve the result of "harmony between the generals and the prime minister" of the ancient people in China.

I didn't know that Minei Koichi came to visit.What was discussed in secret with Nagano Shuzan, or some agreement was reached between the two parties, or some major concession was made by Minai Koichi, the Japanese Army and Navy joined hands again to complete the expansion of the Empire of Japan from the Southwest Pacific On the battlefield, it is a heavy task to withdraw more than 40 soldiers.

In this regard, including Emperor Hirohito, all the bigwigs in the base camp tried their best to praise Minai Koichi and Nagano Shuzan for being high-spirited and selfish. When the empire needed it most, they were able to abandon the views of factions and join hands in the national calamity , to save the empire's southwest Pacific battlefield troops in a critical situation!

However, there are only two parties involved in the inside story, the Minister of the Army, General Koichi Minai, and the Minister of the Navy, General Nagano Shuzan, who know the most clearly, and everyone else, including Emperor Hirohito, knows all about it.

An urgent telegram, in the name of Admiral Nagano Xiushan, Minister of the Navy, arrived in the hands of General Yamamoto, the commander of the joint fleet, who was commanding the huge joint fleet and rushing to the East Indian Ocean.

The content of the telegram is to order the United Fleet to cancel the task of cutting off the independent division's troops on the Australian battlefield in the East Indian Ocean, and the task of logistical supply lines. Instead, it will immediately go to the Southwest Pacific battlefield to cover the imperial army and withdraw to Australia. Task.

In the telegram, in addition to the appeal order, Nagano Xiushan also specifically explained the reason and process of why the established mission was changed. In one sentence, the army suffered a big loss in front of the China Independent Division Fleet and was anxiously waiting for the navy to help.

After receiving the order from the Ministry of the Navy, Admiral Yamamoto was very upset. According to the previous order, the United Fleet was going to sail to the East Indian Ocean. Naturally, it was impossible to take the route of the Western Pacific. Where the sea conditions were complicated, it was still in the independent division of China. Within the cruising range of the land-based fleet coming to the peninsula.

Although with the strength of the United Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto is naturally not afraid, but there is no need to cause trouble. The course of the United Fleet is via the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific. After replenishing in Hawaii, it will then transfer to southern Australia, and finally reach the East Indian Ocean. combat sea area.

The current position of the United Fleet is in the waters of the Northern Cook Islands. If the order of the Ministry of the Navy is carried out, it will have to turn around and turn back, which means that it will take nearly a thousand kilometers of unnecessary travel. Therefore, Admiral Yamamoto is very upset. Such a large-scale The fleet, wasting time on the road, just to clean up the mess for the army's brainless guys?

General Yamamoto was very angry. He said to his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda: "Mr. Matsuda, I really can't understand whether the commanders of the army are mentally retarded and idiots, including the one who commanded the Imperial Army. General Mitsuko Minei, who is retreating."

"In the absence of a powerful fleet escort, they dared to evacuate more than 20 Imperial Army soldiers to Australia with only a few civilian ships. As a result, more than 18 brave Imperial Army soldiers became the targets of massacres by Chinese warships!"

"I feel very sad for the stupidity and idiots of the army generals. The lives of more than [-] imperial army soldiers were buried in the hands of these idiots of the army. Mineiguang can hardly shirk the blame. He should cut himself open to apologize! And such a man People, now they are brazenly stealing the high position of the chief of the general staff of the headquarters, it is the tragedy of the empire!"

Seeing his boss complaining, Lieutenant General Matsuda, who has been the chief of staff and has been a confidant for many years, had no choice but to persuade him, "Commander, don't feel sad for the performance of the army generals. We can't change this situation!"

"Your Excellency Yongye's ability to issue such an order must have been measured in all aspects. My judgment is that His Excellency Yongye is using this opportunity to achieve a certain purpose, right?"

Admiral Yamamoto didn't comment, he is not a white man, with His Excellency Nagano's wisdom, how can he do things that are not good for the navy, what he can do is to resolutely execute the order, "Matsuda-kun, order the entire fleet to immediately turn to the Solomon Islands, After Honiara resupplied, he went to the war zone, and the army is still waiting for us to save lives!"

As for the fleet of the China Independent Division that buried 18 Imperial Army soldiers at the bottom of the sea, it is not considered by Admiral Yamamoto at all. Looking at the world, if the naval fleet that can compete with the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy is the Pacific Fleet of the United States Yes, but that has become history. I personally ended the two US Pacific Fleets that were destroyed and rebuilt, and the current US Navy exists in name only.

Germany, on the other hand, is a country that puts the most emphasis on land power. The German army is world-renowned for its force, and the German navy is a junior. The Atlantic Ocean is enough for the German warships to toss. As for the Chinese fleet, let’s call it a fleet. , in the eyes of General Yamamoto, it is not enough.

If you have to compare, it is the difference between a strong man with martial arts and an elementary school student. Admiral Yamamoto believes that once the United Fleet arrives, the most sensible move for the Chinese warship is to run away upon hearing the news, otherwise, the fate of the entire army will be wiped out , I don't mind using the warships of the China Fleet to vent my inner depression and loss.

General Yamamoto looked down on the army general and called him an idiot. In the central United States, General Ito Genzaburo, who took over the post of commander of Japan's North American Combat Command, was in the headquarters in Salt Lake City. The transferred deputy chief of staff, Major General Akutagawa, scolded Yamamoto 56 and Chief of Staff Hirohiko Minano in front of Major General Akutagawa.

"Yamamoto is an idiot, a typical layman who commands blindly. Nanye is a fool who claims to be proficient in strategy! I don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp used such two people to take command of the war against the United States. ?” Admiral Ito’s face was livid, and he roared like thunder.

From a remote island in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, a garrison commander who commanded more than a hundred garrison troops, to a single order in the base camp, to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Imperial North American Combat Command, his life has been full of ups and downs, and Major General Akutagawa felt like he was dreaming.

The chief of staff, General Nanye, was sent to Xiezhi by the commander, General Ito. As the deputy chief of staff, he was actually doing the work of the chief of staff, and he was like the previous one at the General Command of the Australian Army. Above people, Major General Akutagawa is grateful to his old boss, General Ito, and knows why he is so angry.

General Genzaburo Ito, after taking over the position of the North American combat commander, he was very clear-headed and knew what he should do. The empire had already obtained the benefits it should have received in the war against the United States. After that, the strategic focus of the empire will inevitably turn to The Australian battlefield in crisis.

Deploying most of the troops from the North American battlefield to strengthen the strength of the Australian mainland is the only option. General Ito has started to carry out this matter since he took over. He is preparing to send more than a dozen elite divisions to Los Angeles and San Francisco. First, get together and stand by. Once the order from the base camp is issued, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers will be able to board the ship immediately.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. General Ito found out angrily that the German army has controlled all the traffic arteries from the central part of the United States to the west coast.

For the so-called actual occupation, when Yamamoto was the commander, he scattered more than 100 million imperial troops in all corners of the central United States. It took quite a long time to gather the troops. Time, this is not the main problem.
