Both belong to the Imperial Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, but Admiral Nagumo Tadashi, Commander of the United Navy Fleet, is a thorn in the heart of Admiral Ito Yanzaburo, Commander of the Japanese Australian Front, and it is pierced in the eyes and in the flesh. The kind that can’t be pulled out or taken off. ￠,

Whenever he thinks of Nagumo Tadaichi, Admiral Ito feels extremely uncomfortable. In all fairness, if compared with Yamamoto 56, the former commander of the United Fleet, even though he is a member of the Navy, he would rather deal with Yamamoto than Nagumo Tadaichi.

If the current commander of the United Fleet is Yamamoto 56, he will certainly not be like Chuichi Nagumo, who will ignore the overall situation, hold his own selfishness and factional views, and sit back and watch the soldiers of the Imperial Army, allowing the air force of the China Independent Division to bomb and die. All over the world, the current General Ito doesn't just hate Nagumo Chuichi, he hates it to the point of hatred.

"Bang bang bang!" The door of the office was knocked softly, not loudly, but in a hurry.

"Huh?" General Ito raised his eyebrows. He had sternly ordered that all military affairs should be handed over to the chief of staff, Major General Akutagawa, and he should not be disturbed by anything. Why is there still someone knocking on the door?

After knocking a few times, there was no response from inside the door. The knocker shouted softly, "Commander-in-Chief, this is Akutagawa, and I have an urgent telegram from the base camp!"

"Huh!" General Ito let out a sigh of relief, that is, Akutagawa knocked on the door, but it was someone else.I definitely don't have a good color, and I am in a state of desperation.bother!There are big mouths going up, "Come in!" He shouted displeased.

Chief of Staff Akutagawa pushed the door open and entered.First, he glanced at General Ito, seeing his superior's expression was disapproving. He knew that the commander was in a state of desperation, and he left all the military affairs of the front army to himself, and he was most afraid of being disturbed by others. Usually, it was sent jointly by the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp and the Navy Command, and it was impossible not to disturb.

"Commander-in-Chief. I just received an urgent telegram from the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp and the Naval Command. Please take a look!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa hurriedly made a long story short and handed over the telegram.

Admiral Ito accepted the telegram with a dull face, glanced at it for a few times, and said with a sneer, "Hmph! The Admiralty is finally willing to let Chuichi Nagumo's combined fleet join the Australian battlefield. It's not too late. ?"

"The Combined Fleet is attached to the Imperial Australian Front Army. It has independent command authority. Did the General Staff make a mistake? As far as Nagumo Chuichi's virtue is concerned, can I command it? Negotiate. With Nagumo Chuichi, a guy with a rigid head and a dogmatic head Negotiation, playing the piano to a cow, is simply an unknown and nondescript telegram!"

After reading the telegram.General Ito's inner anger burst out immediately.Grumbling, the combined fleet was assigned to the Australian Front to fight.However, he has no command over the United Fleet, and he is still talking about negotiations. What's more, when two people meet, they just jump around like sparks. Negotiations are extremely ridiculous!

General Ito was angry, his emaciated face turned purple, and he was panting heavily. The telegram from the base camp was an insult to himself. Between himself and Nagumo Tadashi, there was no one called a donkey tied to a trough. He would pinch him whenever he met, and let himself negotiate with him to decide all matters on the Australian battlefield, what the fuck!

"Commander-in-Chief, you don't need to be angry. According to the Department of Staff, this telegram came very timely. At least one advantage is that the Front Army Command can mobilize the carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa said General Ito's I can see the reaction in my eyes, afraid that he will lose his calm under anger, so he hastily spoke up.

"Huh?" Admiral Ito rolled his eyes a few times, looked at his chief of staff, seemed to have a change of expression, and said, "It is possible in name, but according to Nagumo Chuichi's virtue, can I move his carrier-based aircraft?"

Chief of Staff Akutagawa continued: "Commander-in-Chief, you don't need to mobilize the combined fleet's carrier-based aircraft to join the land battlefield. You only need to hand over the defense of the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace to the Combined Fleet. In this way, the combat planes of the Air Force Headquarters of the Front Army can be drawn out, which is equivalent to strengthening the air power of the imperial army on the land battlefield, I think, General Nagumo has no reason to refuse!"

"It makes sense!" General Ito's face immediately relaxed, and he praised: "Mr. Akutagawa, you are still thinking carefully about the problem. Alas, since I returned from the battlefield in McDonnell Mountain, I have been in a state of confusion and have no intention of fighting. Thanks to your support for the front army headquarters, Akutagawa-kun, thank you for your hard work!"

General Ito was really able to let go of his figure, and even bowed deeply to Chief of Staff Akutagawa, expressing his gratitude to this loyal subordinate.

Chief of Staff Akutagawa was moved, he hastily returned the gift, and continued to say: "Commander-in-Chief, the staff department has been considering for the past few days. As far as the current situation of the Australian battlefield is concerned, there is no major change in the east and west battlefields. But the battlefield in the middle, since the imperial army withdrew northward from the MacDonnell Mountains, has become more and more dangerous, and the independent division of China is attacking fiercely, and it is very likely that they will not fight to the north of Australia, and they will not wave their hands!"

"Ah! That's why I've been worrying all day and night!" General Ito sighed and said, "But after thinking hard for several days, there is no solution. Adverse effects! Akutagawa-kun, do you have any good suggestions?"

For many days, General Ito didn't care about anything. Major General Akutagawa had actually done the job of the commander of the Australian Front Army, struggling to support the situation in the middle battlefield. How bad the situation is in the natural way, he also has his own ideas, especially It is dissatisfied with General Ito’s practice of putting all the troops arriving from the North American battlefield into the central battlefield. What is this called? Pass.

Chief of Staff Akutagawa also wanted to put forward his own suggestions to his superiors, but it happened that General Ito was in an extremely bad mood and was on the verge of collapse and runaway.

Chief of Staff Akutagawa sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "Commander-in-Chief, from the perspective of the Department, after the carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet undertake the air defense mission to northern Australia, you can order the Air Force Commander, Lieutenant General Okazaki , put all combat aircraft on the central battlefield, in order to obtain the greatest air supremacy, and stabilize the front in the existing area!"

"Afterwards, the troops that will arrive in Australia from the North American battlefield will gather at the port of Mount Molloy on the east coast of Australia. They will no longer be used for battlefield defense one by one. The second batch of Italian-style armed forces supplemented by the base camp will be used. The strength of more than [-] troops can be used as a heavyweight counterattack corps, and it is even a surprise soldier!"

"At the right time, launch a full-line counterattack against the Chinese Independent Division troops in the middle to change the current passive defense situation. Mount Molloy's position is just right into the central battlefield. Back, of course, this is just the personal opinion of the staff department, for the commander-in-chief's reference!"

After finishing speaking, Chief of Staff Akutagawa looked at General Ito respectfully. While he was talking freely, General Ito's occluded and chaotic thinking gradually opened up and straightened out. Chief of Staff Akutagawa opened up for himself A new picture of the battlefield in central Australia, let me see the hope of turning defeat into victory. More than 30 imperial troops equipped with heavy Italian weapons suddenly rushed out from behind the troops of the China Independent Division, eh! . . . . . .Hahaha!

"Akutagawa-kun, you really did not disappoint me!" General Ito made no secret of his praise to his subordinates, and said, "Okay, let's follow your suggestion just now, and in addition, in the name of the Imperial Australian Front Army Command, give Nagumo Zhongyi sent a telegram that from now on, all defense missions in the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace in northern Australia will be carried out by the United Fleet!"

"At the same time, issue an order to Okazaki to call back all combat aircraft and strengthen the fight for air supremacy on the central battlefield. In the telegram, add these words, if the land-based fleet of the China Independent Division in the direction of the Southwest Pacific Theater appears again In the northern part of the Australian mainland, the Imperial Army was bombed, and the combined fleet commander, Admiral Nagumo Tadashi, went to explain to the base camp himself!"

For many days, General Ito's anxious, distressed and helpless heart suddenly became as relaxed as throwing a huge boulder because of a telegram from the base camp and a statement from the chief of staff, Major General Akutagawa. In good spirits, even the wrinkles on his face were stretched out.

"Mr. Akutagawa, I've been unwilling to eat these days. It's just right to have lunch with me!" General Ito said, looking at his subordinates appreciatively. He used this method to express his appreciation and respect for Chief of Staff Akutagawa. It's not a cat or a dog. To have lunch with myself.

"The Commander-in-Chief has an order, how dare the staff disobey it!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa was also very happy in his heart, the boss untied his knot, and his intentions were carried out unimpeded, in the mind of the Commander-in-Chief , the status is more weighty, how can he be unhappy?

Darwin Port in northern Australia, one of the anchorages of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, the fleet flagship "Nagato", the commander Nagumo Tadaichi, is holding a military meeting attended by the commanders and chiefs of staff of each fleet. The content of the meeting is, It also revolved around a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp and the Navy Command. The content of the telegram was exactly the same as what Admiral Ito saw.

Admiral Nagumo Tada was even more unhappy than Admiral Ito. How could the United Fleet be assigned to the Australian Front to fight? Didn't he say that he became the direct subordinate of that bastard Ito?

Is it inexplicable? Is the Navy Headquarters in a daze? When such an absurd order comes, I feel unhappy but I am unhappy. The orders of the General Staff Headquarters of the headquarters can be ignored or even disobeyed, but the orders of the Navy Headquarters are my own. I can't, and I dare not not implement it!
