Age of Rebirth

Regardless of the fact that Gensaburo Ito is the boss of General Minamino, a commander, a chief of staff, and an obvious superior-subordinate relationship, but within the Japanese Army, the habit of ranking seniority is deeply rooted. General Minamino is much more senior than General Ito in terms of qualifications . ∈↗ Vertex Fiction,

Therefore, General Ito could let him sit on the bench and stand aside, but he had to respect it, at least on the surface, so as not to be gossiped. How deep is the water in Nanye?

General Ito Gensaburo's words were obviously beyond the expectation of General Nanye, his indifferent and calm face was finally moved, the light in his eyes was flickering, he was silent for a while, and said: "Thanks to Commander Ito for his love, Nanye is very grateful, but There are a few words that are not spoken quickly, and if they are inappropriate, I hope the commander will forgive me!"

"Please Nanye-kun, but it's okay!" General Ito sneered in his heart, "What's the matter, is this old guy tempted? Hmph...!"

General Nanye slowly drank the tea in the bowl, sighed, and said: "Commander Ito, with all due respect, you and I are not the same kind of people, and our personalities are even more different. When it comes to commanding operations, we often disagree. I can’t do good things like others, I can’t compromise and follow blindly, so using me as your chief of staff can only be endless internal friction and quarrels, and it will make the commanders of subordinate troops at a loss, which is not the luck of the empire!”

"Furthermore, I am old, my blade is blunt and unusable, and my meager intelligence has been spent on the North American battlefield. I am dying, and it is difficult to have any ambitions. Therefore, Commander Ito, your advice to the headquarters, It is not a wise move. For the sake of the future of the Imperial Australian Front Army, please forgive me for being difficult!"

"You are wise!" General Ito sneered in his heart.I have no intention of being this self-righteous old guy at all, to be the commander of the Australian Front Army. That would be uncomfortable. Is it annoying to have such a self-righteous person who knows everything and always likes to put on his old status by his side?

It was that guy Yamamoto who fought fiercely with him, and he didn't do anything earth-shattering. There are more than 100 million elite Imperial Army.Leave it to yourself, and you can still create a great record in the North American battlefield!

"Oh, that's such a pity! Originally, I wanted to join hands with Nanye-kun to fight a bloody battle with the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli on the Australian mainland, and wash away the shame of the Imperial Army!" General Ito said with regret, Immediately, the topic changed. "Then please Minano-kun, take over my position as the commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command. I also made a suggestion to the headquarters, and His Excellency Minai Koichi also agrees!"

"Then I'll do what I can!" General Nanye knew.This errand cannot be shirked no matter what, the commander of the North American Combat Command has been transferred to another appointment.It was only a matter of course for me, the chief of staff, to take over.

so far.General Ito's purpose of visiting General Nanye has been fully achieved.I feel relaxed all over. From the bottom of my heart, I hate my current position very much. I only have tens of thousands of soldiers left in my hands. I am alone on the North American continent. I have to do things carefully under the shadow of the Germans. Yes, I have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering!

Regarding the upcoming new position, General Ito is very ambitious. A few years ago in the South China mainland, he was defeated by the China devil Tang Qiuli. He never stopped thinking about revenge for the shame of his life. Now, the opportunity It's finally here, now it's not the time, and I'm not the former Ito Gensaburo.

"Since Nanye-kun understands righteousness so well, I can go to Australia to take up my post with confidence. I will leave North America to Nanno-kun!" General Ito said sincerely, "Nanno-kun is a senior of the Imperial Army. , and assisted General Yamamoto to create astonishing achievements in the North American battlefield, I don’t know what teachings Minano-kun has to say when I go to the Australian battlefield, but please tell me everything!”

General Nanye was taken aback, quite surprised, he didn't expect that Yansaburo Ito, who was on the wrong side of him, would say this. Originally, he didn't want to say anything, and he was not qualified to make any suggestions, but seeing Ito's rare sincere expression , In my heart, I was thinking about the future and destiny of the Great Japanese Empire, "Yes, put aside personal grievances, just give me a few words, as for whether Ito will obey, that's another matter!"

"Ito-kun, my words belong to the family! Listen to them if you can use them, and discard them if you can't use them!" General Nanye first adjusted his position and said: "In my humble opinion, this time I will fight against the independent division of China this time. The Australian continent is related to the future and destiny of the empire, Ito-kun can adopt a steady and steady strategy, and don't rush for success!"

"In my opinion, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's tactics are mostly divided and encircled, and the tactics of encircling and attacking reinforcements are the main tactics. He pays great attention to the coordination of ground and air firepower to seize the air supremacy. Therefore, if Ito-kun wants to win, he can only strive for the base camp. Strengthen the ground and air firepower of the Imperial Australian Front, at least equal to that of the enemy, and even better!"

"In addition, we should abandon the traditional battle between the army and the navy, join hands with the Navy's joint fleet, fight side by side, and complement each other's firepower. The Australian front army will mainly attack on the ground, and the joint fleet will cut off the logistics supply line of the independent division of China in the Australian battlefield. In this way, the decisive battle against Australia is expected!"

Of course, General Nanye couldn’t express his feelings and talk endlessly like General Yamamoto, and he could only point to the end. Even so, General Ito was surprised enough, thinking to himself, “I didn’t expect that, this old guy’s belly Here, it’s really a bit dry, it coincides with my thinking, and there are more suggestions on weapons and equipment, it seems very good to be my chief of staff!"

However, this thought just passed by in a flash. General Ito stood up, bowed very modestly, and said: "Ito has been taught! I will set off with the troops heading to Australia tonight. What a good strategy, I hope you can teach me anytime, Ito will be grateful!"

Ito Yansaburo's attitude moved General Nanye a little bit. After all, this is a major matter of the empire's survival. Ito accepted his suggestion and benefited from the Great Japanese Empire.

When Yanzaburo Ito said goodbye and was about to leave, Admiral Minano called again, "Ito-kun, please stay a while, I don't know which general of the Navy will take over as the commander of the combined fleet?"

"Oh! Don't you know Nanye-kun?" Ito Yanzaburo was very surprised, thought for a while and said: "His Majesty personally signed the letter of appointment, appointing Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi of the Imperial Navy, who has been idle for several years, as the commander of the combined fleet , oh, now he is a general of Nagumo Chu!"

"Nagumo Chuichi?" Admiral Nanguo's face changed instantly. He was never optimistic about Nagumo Zhongichi, but he very much hoped that the current Chief of Staff of the United Fleet, Vice Admiral Matsuda Jiro, would take up this position. The reason is very simple. Matsuda's command style And the way of thinking is in the same line as Yamamoto, and the reason why the United Fleet dominates the Pacific Ocean is precisely because of Yamamoto 56.

General Nanno's strangeness caught the attention of Ito Gensaburo, but he left without saying anything. Only General Minano himself was left in the quiet room. He got a glass of sake, drank it slowly, and said with a sigh: "Imperial Empire The future fate of the United Navy Fleet is unpredictable!"

Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi, who was not favored by Admiral Nanye, is now in his own home in Tokyo, feeling the changes that dazzled him. He has been dismissed from office for many years. Say forget.

But today, the front of the house is full of traffic and high-ranking officials gathered. Several bigwigs from the naval system, His Majesty's entourage military officer, all came to the house. The entourage military officer came to announce the appointment letter of His Majesty the Emperor and the order to promote himself to the rank of Admiral of the Navy. Yes, several bigwigs, one came to congratulate, and the other came to discuss the next specific actions of the United Fleet.

Up to now, the head of General Nan Yunzhong is still dizzy, and there is a kind of unsuitability for turning over. Even Shuzo Nagano, who is the most wrong with him, also came to the door. The politeness and respect made General Nan Yunzhong feel like he was in a dream.

Fortunately, I am also a veteran of the navy. After the initial incompatibility, it became natural. I straightened my identity. After all, I am also one of the three giants of the Imperial Navy. In the secret room, including the No. 1 Nagano Shuzo , have made a guarantee that they will never easily interfere with the command of the combined fleet. Mr. Nanyun can do it freely, and the naval system will continue to fully support it.

During this period, Nan Yunzhong asked about General Yamamoto's situation several times, but was diverted by several big bosses. He knew that there must be some reasons why he couldn't put it on the table, so he didn't mention it out of interest.

After the guests left, looking at the uniform of the admiral on the hanger, Zhongichi Nagumo seemed to be in a dream. In my lifetime, I can still gallop on the boundless ocean, command a huge combined fleet, and serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire!

After finally calming down from the extreme excitement, Admiral Nagumo Tadashi felt as if grass had grown in his heart. He wished he could fly to Honiara in the Solomon Islands in the Western Pacific, where the United Fleet Headquarters is located, and board the "Long The flagship of "Portal Number", looking at the endless sea, breathing the salty sea breeze.

He called the adjutant and ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to Lieutenant General Matsuda Jiro, the chief of staff of the United Fleet, saying that I plan to take a plane the day after tomorrow morning, depart from Tokyo, and rush to Honiara. Please ask Chief of Staff Matsuda to call The commanders and chiefs of staff of the various fleets will go to the Joint Fleet Command, and after I arrive, a military meeting will be held!"

In Phnom Penh on the Indochina Peninsula, at the Navy and Air Force Base of the Independent Division, the division commander Tang Qiuli was in his office, looking at a piece of top-secret information sent by the Intelligence Department. Le Yiqin, who had returned from Ningbo, was ordered to come to the division commander's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Qiuli handed the information to Le Yiqin and said, "Look at this first!"
