Age of Rebirth

Well, it’s just these four words that made Wu Zhenjiang so troubled that he couldn’t eat well. All the troops on the Australian battlefield went up, so he sent his own aviation team to watch from the sidelines. Some time ago, the old troops were in the Southwest Pacific On the battlefield, the United Fleet of the little devil was beaten to the brim, why is it my turn, so full of energy, I can't do it?

Therefore, since the troops began to attack, the first thing Wu Zhenjiang said when he came to the headquarters every day was, "Is there any order from the headquarters for us to attack?"

Those staff officers were all annoyed by his questioning. Later, when they saw him, they said, "Commander, no!"

On this day, just as Wu Zhenjiang arrived at the headquarters, the combat staff hurriedly greeted him, "Commander, Deputy Commander Tang ordered that our air force attack immediately!"

"Haha! It's finally our turn!" Wu Zhenjiang immediately lit up his eyes, and said to the battlefield staff: "Order the radar stations all over the place to search for the location of the Japanese aircraft fleet with all their strength, and the fighter regiments will take off immediately!"

More than 40 minutes later, nearly 300 combat aircraft from both sides launched an air battle on an unprecedented scale over the central part of Australia. Among the more than [-] combat aircraft, more than [-] are bombers. In terms of the number of fighter jets, they are at a disadvantage.

The air battle lasted for almost a day, and the sky in central Australia was filled with gunpowder smoke and thunderous explosions. Under the combined attack of Wu Zhenjiang's aircraft group and ground air defense firepower, the Japanese army's joint naval and land fleet did not take advantage of it, so they hurriedly withdrew. battlefield.Leaving the wreckage of more than 100 fighters and bombers, Wu Zhenjiang's air force.It also lost more than [-] fighters and returned with a slight advantage.

that night.Wu Zhenjiang reported the situation of the air battle in central Australia to Le Yiqin, and he called back immediately, "Wu Zhenjiang, the carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet of the little devils was beaten away by me. Now it's your turn to fight. Embarrass me, tell me if you have any difficulties!"

Faced with such a violent call back from the commander.Wu Zhenjiang could only grin, but his reply was concise and clear, "Give me three more fighter regiments, and make sure to kill all the carrier-based aircraft of the Little Devils United Fleet!"

"Okay, I'll give you four fighter regiments!" Le Yiqin's answer was even simpler.

The next day, before dawn, the four fighter regiments on the Australian battlefield were reinforced.From the Naval and Air Force Base of the Chagos Islands to the field airports in southern Australia, Wu Zhenjiang was so excited, he opened his posture.Just wait for the Japanese army's land-sea mixed fleet to show up again!

Wu Zhenjiang wanted to fight with all his heart, but General Yamamoto didn't want to fight anymore.Although yesterday's air battle, the carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet.It's not a big loss, but it's still a loss.Previously, the losses of the United Fleet on the Southwest Pacific battlefield had not been replenished. He really did not have absolute confidence in fighting the land-based aviation of the China Independent Division.

In addition, Admiral Yamamoto is even more worried that if the fight continues like this, the carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet may be consumed in the central Australian battlefield, which will affect his own troops to leave the East Indian Ocean, cut off the Australian battlefield troops of the Chinese Independent Division, and the logistics supply line. set objectives.

The United Fleet took action, but it did not change the current passive situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Australia. "Yamamoto is also a softie, and he will return when he sees it!" Feng was even more anxious, as if the telegram that Australia would fall soon if he didn't come to rescue the soldiers flew to the base camp again.

With great difficulty, with the help of the United Fleet, the Chief of Staff of the General Mi Neiguang, the chief of the general staff of the headquarters of the mission to evacuate more than [-] imperial soldiers from the Southwest Pacific battlefield to the northern part of Australia, received a call from the commander of the Australian Army before he could breathe a sigh of relief. Lieutenant General Guan Sen's urgent and rescue telegrams made him stare in his eyes, and he secretly groaned inwardly.

Koichi Minai has nothing to do now, and all the available troops in his hand have been used up. The only measure that can stabilize the situation in Australia is to transfer troops from the North American battlefield. The firm attitude of the empire is to not let the troops of the empire leave on the North American battlefield. It is not worth the cost to tear up their faces. The more than one million imperial soldiers on the North American battlefield are used to fight the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, not to fight with him. The Germans turned their faces.

The delegation to Germany for negotiations has made no progress so far, because the country refuses to lower the bargaining chip, and the negotiations are in a stalemate. If no agreement can be reached with the Germans, the imperial troops that reinforce the Australian battlefield will not be able to leave the North American battlefield. His Majesty's attitude is that he will never compromise or make concessions to the Germans. This seems to be a deadlock.

Mi Neiguang was full of worries. It was a good move to withdraw troops from the Southwest Pacific battlefield according to the scheming guy Zai Ren's plan, but he was disrupted by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. On the North American battlefield along the river, the empire's more than 160 million elite troops have now become hostages of the Germans. How could this be the case? How could the foreign battlefield of the Great Japanese Empire become a mess?

What makes Minai Koichi even more angry is that the current commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, Morishita, has a huge force of nearly 60 people, but he has been defeated in a row and has been in emergency frequently. It is Morishita's incompetence and poor command, or the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army in Australia Low, Koichi Minai believed that it was the former reason, and the idea of ​​removing Morishita from his position became more and more intense.

He couldn't die in a daze, and the most urgent task at the moment was to solve the problem of reinforcements for the Australian battlefield. This problem could not be solved by Minai himself, so he took Morishita's telegram and went to the palace to meet Emperor Hirohito.

After reading the telegram, recently, Emperor Hirohito, who was clearly in a bad mood and rested, his pale face was clouded with gloom. Said.

More than an hour later, the Japanese military and political leaders who were famous and talkative gathered in the big meeting room of the imperial palace. Seeing that everyone was present, Hirohito said, "Recently, I haven't heard anything Good news, from the retreat of the imperial army on the Southwest Pacific battlefield, to the dilemma that Yansaburo Ito is facing on the North American battlefield!"

"Now, there is another more bad news. The troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli are on the offensive in the Australian battlefield. The front line has advanced to the central part of Australia and is spreading to the north. The commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, Morishita, called to report I am in a hurry, I ask for reinforcements, dear friends, express your opinions, speak freely, and come up with good strategies!"

None of the ministers uttered a word. It was clear that the reinforcements for the Australian battlefield could only be transferred from the North American battlefield. However, because the empire refused to make concessions to the Germans in terms of the interests of North America, the negotiations with the Germans have not yet had any results. Without the consent of the Germans, imperial soldiers could not leave the North American battlefield to reinforce Australia.

If the Germans are allowed to let go and no longer set up obstacles, the only thing to do is to meet the conditions of the Germans. What conditions?Everyone from His Majesty the Emperor to the headquarters knows that the Japanese Empire gave up the interests it had obtained in North America, and the Germans took advantage of their strength and occupation of lines of communication to detain more than 160 million elite troops of the Empire in the North American battlefield. It is this abacus that is being played.

This is a knot, the key point lies in His Majesty the Emperor, if the Germans don't let go, then only the Empire will give in, but this is the bottom line in His Majesty's heart, who dares to touch it, is it impatient to live?

Once that daredevil dares to fight the horse, maybe His Majesty the Emperor, who has been in a bad mood recently, will be dragged out and beheaded on the spot. Therefore, after Emperor Hirohito said this, there was silence underneath, The ministers all looked at each other in blank dismay, cherishing words like gold.

Emperor Hirohito was not a foolish person. He was able to manipulate the rebellious Japanese military into a very docile manner. He was naturally extraordinary. He knew the reason why the ministers were silent.

During this period of time, Emperor Hirohito has also been thinking that the reason for the stalemate in negotiations with the Germans is nothing more than the word "benefits". If there is no such thing as the mortal enemy of the Great Japanese Empire-the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, the empire won in North America. The benefits will not be given to the Germans. On the contrary, more will be snatched, even if it is to tear the face and fight with the Germans, it will not hesitate.

But now it seems that it is completely impossible. The empire cannot use all its military power to compete with the Germans for the interests of North America. Not to mention that the final result is unpredictable, but North America is more important than Australia. , Hirohito knew that Australia was more important than North America.

In terms of hatred, the Germans are allies and friendly troops. If the empire gives up most of its interests in North America, there will be some left in its hands, but if it breaks its face with the Germans, there will only be two results, one It seems difficult to defeat the Germans. Even after defeating the Germans, in terms of the current strength of the empire, it seems impossible to fight against the United States alone, defeat the Americans and Canadians, and monopolize the interests of North America.

Another result is that the empire suffered a crushing defeat in North America. If the Germans fought out, they would not even be able to keep the last bit of interest. The two evils were the lesser of two evils. It is undoubtedly the most unwise move to tear the face off with the Germans.

But that devil Tang Qiuli of China is different. He is the sworn enemy of the Great Japanese Empire. There is absolutely no possibility for the two sides to negotiate and compromise with each other. It is a life-and-death war. All resources will be cut off, and even the mainland will be threatened. That Chinese man, his ambition is not only in a corner of the Southwest Pacific, I am afraid that the Japanese archipelago is also in his greedy eyes!

After weighing it all, Emperor Hirohito had already made a choice that he had to make even though his flesh was bleeding, "Ah!" He sighed, and said in a very tired tone: "My love, I know your inner difficulties. ...!"
