Although Admiral Nagumo Tadashi, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, was dissatisfied with the orders of the Navy Command, he had to follow the orders. Today's meeting is to study how to cooperate with the Australian Front Army in combat. ∮,

Because of his unhappiness, Admiral Nan Yunzhong seemed a little depressed and listless. He looked at the generals sitting upright, and said in an interfering voice: "Masters, the military command has come to order the combined fleet to cooperate with the Australian front. Today's meeting The content is to study how to cooperate with Ito Gensaburo's question, and you can speak freely!"

As soon as General Nan Yunzhong finished speaking, a communications staff officer hurried into the conference room, "Commander, I just received an order from the Australian Front Command!" After speaking, he handed him a telegram.

"Order?" When the communications officer said these two words, General Nagumo's complexion suddenly changed. He didn't read the content of the telegram, but said with a cold snort: "Huh! Order, Ito Gensaburo is so big How majestic, in the order of the military command, there is no clear stipulation that the combined fleet must obey the command of the Australian Front Army Command, and Yanzaburo Ito issued the order? It's ridiculous!"

Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda, chief of staff of the United Fleet, saw that the commander's face was blue and his nose was crooked. In front of so many subordinate fleet commanders and chiefs of staff, what he said was very unpleasant, in case it got out.It's not good for anyone, so he turned sideways.He whispered: "Commander, please calm down. Read the contents of the telegram before making plans!"

"Huh!" Admiral Nagumo snorted angrily. After reading the telegram, his forehead was covered with black lines. Ito, a complete bastard, dared to threaten himself. The telegram was handed to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda, and then, without saying a word.Seeing that the Japanese generals present were unclear, they exchanged glances with each other.

"Commander, General Ito's order, we have no choice but to carry it out!" After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Matsuda immediately concluded.

Admiral Nagumo Tadashi acquiesced to Chief of Staff Matsuda's conclusion. He also knew that Ito Yanzaburo's order was reasonable, and the combined fleet was anchored at several anchorages in northern Australia, from the land-based fleet of the independent division opposite.I was very clear about the air raid on northern Australia, but I didn't order the fleet's carrier-based aircraft to attack because I hated Yanzaburo Ito.Without an order from the Navy Command, that bastard Ito couldn't fault him.

General Nan Yunzhong was even a little strange, those land-based fleets of the China Independent Division.From time to time, they rumbled over the United Fleet anchorage and flew over the sea.It is the imperial navy with hundreds of warships of various types, but never launches any kind of attack.He didn't even intend to take a shot to intercept. The absurd thing is that the two sides seem to have a tacit understanding and don't interfere with each other. General Nan Yun doesn't want to break this tacit understanding, at least, not yet.

But it’s different now. It’s unreasonable not to take action if it’s attached to the Australian Front Army. There’s no way to explain it to the top and the bottom. The current carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet has recovered most of its vitality, and the lost carrier-based aircraft has been replenished to its peak. More than 80.00% of the period has the ability to teach the Chinese land-based fleet a painful lesson, and let those Chinese pilots who have been arrogant for many days understand that the sky in northern Australia is not a free market for you to come and go!

"Okay!" Admiral Nan Yunzhong said dryly: "The fleet's carrier-based aircraft fleet will take over the defense mission of the northern airspace of Australia from now on. From now on, I don't want to see even one land-based aircraft of the China Independent Division. , appeared in the sky in northern Australia!"

"Chief of Staff Matsuda, call back Yanzaburo Ito, the joint fleet will take over the defense mission of the airspace in northern Australia. Okay, this is the end of today's meeting. Do you want to cooperate with the Australian Front Army? We have already cooperated very well!"

General Nagumo Tadashi is really not in the mood to hold any military meeting. In his opinion, this is already the maximum cooperation with Ito Gensaburo. It just so happens that he hasn't figured out how to deal with that bastard Ito. Instead, a solution was sent. Now that it has been decided, the meeting should be over.

The words of Admiral Nan Yunzhong made the naval generals who rushed over look at each other with indescribably weird expressions, and felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Dare to feel, we ran over from a long distance, I just listened to these few words, didn't study anything, it's just a matter of sending a telegram, is it necessary to mobilize people?

Hearing Nagumo Tadaichi's words, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda, was in a hurry. The commander must not be able to explain to his superiors how he treated the orders of the General Staff Headquarters of the headquarters and the Navy Command Headquarters. After finishing the matter, preserving strength, and getting to the bottom of it, there are charges of passive disobedience to orders, obedience to obedience, and disregard of the overall situation of the empire.

Regarding Admiral Nagumo, Chief of Staff Matsuda has complicated psychology and often compares him with Admiral Yamamoto, because in order not to affect the morale and morale of the United Fleet and even the Imperial Navy, the headquarters wants to cover up the fact that Admiral Yamamoto has been broken. In addition, Tang Qiuli didn't want to publicize the fact that he was taking advantage of the situation. So far, the news that Yamamoto's death in his fifties and sixties has not been known to the outside world.

Therefore, Chief of Staff Matsuda, who knew the truth of the matter, from time to time, with sentimental nostalgia, compared the two superiors together. No matter in which respect, Commander Nagumo was inferior to Commander Yamamoto. Moreover, he was worse. It's not a star and a half!

For example, in this matter, Commander Nagumo was obviously emotional and narrow-minded. If it was Admiral Yamamoto, he would definitely not do this. He even took the initiative to Put forward, the United Fleet joined the Australian battlefield to share the pressure for the Imperial Army. Ask yourself, the relationship between Admiral Ito and Commander Nagumo is like an enemy. Is it all because of General Ito?

These words, Chief of Staff Matsuda would rather rot in his heart than open his heart to Commander Nagumo. This boss's paranoia and stubbornness have reached a pathological level, but what Commander Nagumo is doing now is obviously Putting the United Fleet in a disadvantageous position, so that it will affect his future prospects in the imperial world, then he has to speak out.

"Commander, please stop!" Seeing General Nagumo Tadashi getting up to leave, Chief of Staff Matsuda hurriedly stopped him.

"Huh?" General Nanyun stopped, with obvious displeasure on his face, and looked at him with bright eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with his subordinates preventing him from leaving. In his opinion, this was an offense to his authority.

Chief of Staff Matsuda ignored Admiral Nagumo's expression, and said calmly: "Commander, the Ministry believes that the joint fleet only takes over the air defense mission in the northern airspace of Australia, which obviously cannot satisfy the base camp! Please forgive me for saying something presumptuously." If it is not, it is perfunctory!"

"Chief of Staff Matsuda, please pay attention to your words and attitude, are you talking to me?" Nagumo Tadaichi suddenly became furious, and said sharply, there was anger from being publicly accused by his subordinates, and even the little thought of being exposed by his subordinates annoyed.

"Please forgive me, Commander, the staff is not talking freely!" Chief of Staff Matsuda hastily apologized, but then said: "The staff considers that since the General Staff of the headquarters and the Navy Command jointly issued this order to us, obviously, it is The battle between the Australian Front Army and the China Independent Division is not optimistic, or even General Ito, the commander of the Australian Front Army, has reported the actual situation on the Australian battlefield to the headquarters!"

"That's why there is this order for the joint fleet to be assigned to the Australian front. The Admiralty and the Military Command must have made a decision after careful consideration. Therefore, if the joint fleet does not have any major moves, can His Excellency Nagano satisfy?"

The words of Chief of Staff Matsuda have deep meaning and weight. It is indeed the case. If Admiral Nagano Shuzan, the head of the first naval department, does not nod, the General Staff of the headquarters will not be able to command the combined fleet. The fleet is assigned to the Australian Front Army to fight, that is, I hope the combined fleet will do something famous!

Nagumo Tadaichi was taken aback, he was just fighting against that bastard Ito, he didn't think of the deeper meaning in the order, I'm afraid it was just like what Matsuda said just now, if he was perfunctory, he wouldn't be able to explain to Nagano Shuzan, for his chief of staff He couldn't refute what he said. Thinking of this, he stopped and sat back on the main seat.

"Hmph!" General Nanyun felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that he was frightened by a few words from his subordinates. He said it shamelessly, then snorted coldly, and said with a cold face: "Chief of Staff Matsuda, since you can consider At this point, it is enough to prove that you have already had a well-thought-out idea, so you might as well say it for your discussion! Are you the chief of staff of the United Fleet, and it is also a job within the scope of your job!"

There was nothing harsh in General Nagumo's tone, but to the ears of the generals attending the meeting, it was indescribably awkward, "If Commander Yamamoto was here, he would never have said that! "They unconsciously compared Nagumo Chuichi and Yamamoto 56, and looked more and more at the commander who had a gloomy face all day long!

Chief of Staff Matsuda is also a fine person, how could he not hear the chill in Nagumo Tadashi's words, but he pretended not to know, and he didn't want to care about it, he didn't dare to care about it, and he couldn't care about it, "Commander, gentlemen, take over the northern airspace of Australia The defense mission will not involve too many troops of the United Fleet, so we have the ability to use another method to cooperate with the Australian Front Army's land battlefield!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda paused, seeing that all the officers, including Admiral Nagumo, were focused on himself, and then said: "Everyone here, except for the commander, will not forget, Commander Yamamoto, Mr. Before returning to the homeland, the part of the main force of the joint fleet formulated to go west to the East Indian Ocean waters?"
